Thank you for your response! Many of your insights were useful/correct and you have given me much to think about. I'll update you and share some of my thoughts starting with traits/talents and then move to luck, health, and plans:
TRAITS/TALENTS
I find lots of solace in traveling/foreign lands. I have discovered that traveling is necessary to keep me grounded and connected to the ways I make meaning out of my world. I am much more at home on the road than when I am stationary.
I have lots of artistic aptitude and being an artist is very central to my identity and spirituality. I love many different mediums (like music, writing, painting, lapidary, knitting, sewing, etc.) but my favorite art forms are always the ones I have no experience with. I find that I make my best work while I'm learning about how to use new materials and solve problems I've never encountered. Art makes me feel connected to all the wonder and joy in the world.
In addition to being an artist, I am also a scientist and a philosopher of sorts. I am hyper-analytical, love processing/synthesizing many modes of information, and feel that my best theoretical/intellectual work comes from drawing connections between seemingly disparate fields or topics. I am a gifted speaker and writer as well.
While I am deeply sensitive and sometimes go through phases of feeling confused, I thrive in decision making roles. In addition, I have lots of suppressed anger stemming from childhood trauma.
LUCK
As you predicted, my family, finances, luck, property, and domestic comforts are all currently under stress. My mom lost her job, is going through a career change, cannot afford her house, and is struggling with her mental health. I am in the process of helping her move out of her house, am moving into a new apartment myself, and my boss has promised to renew my contract but won't answer his phone/emails. Much of this will be resolved by the first week of September but certainly not all of it.
HEALTH
Of all your insights, I found the ones surrounding my health to be most interesting. It could be because this year I have been tuned to the ways that my body is beginning to age. I've also injured myself more this year than I have in the last 5.
I have family history of kidney issues and in the past year have had 2 bouts of kidney infection. I have been a heavy smoker and drinker for 10 years now and have always been aware of the toll my bad habits
would take on my throat, mouth, teeth, lungs, and heart. But this year I have began to notice the damage I've done. My mouth, teeth, and throat are angry and tired; my chest is tight and heavy. I've tried to quit but have yet to be successful. I have significantly cut down on both my drinking and my smoking but by all standards of Western medicine I am an addict.
You predicted that a transit (ketu separative SNode sat acq) would affect my lower legs, perhaps related to sciatica. Since reading your post, I was diagnosed with peroneal tendonitis in my right ankle/leg.
PLANS
I have many different interests and talents and the thought of choosing one career path seems impossible. I just graduated from university in May 2018 after 7 years of undergraduate work. I feel drawn to politics/public service, scientific research, art/working with my hands, education, and journalism. At this time, I am not ready to decide which direction I want to turn first. I am committed to seeing my current research project through to the end before beginning a new path. The project should wrap up around February/March 2019.
