I have been reading so many excellent interpretations of individual charts on this site that I wondered if anyone would have the time to give me a few pointers (observations of natal chart,progressions,transits,solar chart--whatever you can manage) so that I can lift myself out of a rather unfortunate and disordered last few years.
While this year has been somewhat better than the last many,many years as my health has begun returning and I have begun studying music seriously again (which I did professionally before a long illness and would like to again), I'm wondering if this is a possible upward trend or of it's only a little bit of rest. I've done some reading about transits and being new to astrology,I think I've only succeeded in scaring myself! )
I have two main questions which are about my music and about my marriage. (I have transit Uranus squaring my moon in the 5th H and Neptune has just entered my husband's 7th H. Neptune will also be conjunct my Sun next year...so something is going on,but what?)
With the music (classical),I played piano with several orchestras as a teenager,was then an accompanist for singers. I became a singer myself,performed in a few operas, almost finished a doctorate in voice and taught for 5 years in a small university.Then I became ill with something that took more than 10 years to be correctly diagnosed. I suffered from the treatment of wrong diagnoses (e.g. one doctor treated me for asthma for 3 years,and my health became even worse due to that treatment). I was eventually diagnosed with an endocrine disorder (thyroid/adrenal problems),started to take medicine,and am now healthy. But I'm always wondering if my health will fail again (for many years,I couldn't concentrate,and I could barely walk a flight of stairs and needed to sleep 12-14 hours daily,etc.) I have a real NEED for musical self-expression--need to do it even if there won't be performing or a profession involved,but would SO much like to have both of those. I have been practicing and studying,and I am trying to decide whether I should go back to university and finish my doctorate (so I might be able to get a teaching job).
With my marriage,well...my husband is my friend and sweetheart,but we have had a celibate marriage almost entirely except for the first few months of our marriage (not something I would have chosen). Yep,nothing at all during this millenium (since 1999). Sad thing is,it wasn't that way before we got married so I had no clue it would turn out this way. Three years ago I caught him writing to women on a **** site so there are other problems other than just his lack of "energy"--he said he would quit and I have thought that to be the case. I feel indebted to him for helping me when I was sick, we really are good friends,and there is a lot of (non-sexual) affection in the relationship. Sometimes I wonder about things though--if he really is faithful,if we are just not going to bring the best out of each other or if our relationship could change for the better. It would almost seem strange at this point for the relationship to become sexual even though I'm not so keen on remaining celibate forever. (I will if we stay married.) I even wonder sometimes if something will happen so that we are free to find "truer" marriages. I don't think I could be the one to leave as I feel that I owe him so much and really like him.
So I guess I'm wondering whether I have a chance to develop the life that I would like? I have high hopes for the rest of my life (it's about time),but was wondering what my chart implies. Any help would be so welcome and appreciated. Thankyou-- Emmy
