Hey, for a time issue I'd have to post my interpretation of your chart in chunks, so I'll be posting some more. There's SO much to cover.
So we both get by now that I'm not an astrologer and I may (will) be wrong about some things, also that I will be missing a lot of things, that it's too vast a field to know, let alone cover, everything, even everything important. So that's out of the way.
I will nevertheless try my best with what I have right now.
Another thing I should mention is that all planets except the moon are actually in the western hemi-sphere (according to that cafe astrology page I was on yesterday, what appears to be the eastern hemisphere of the chart is counter-intuitively called the western hemisphere). This means that you thrive on the encouragement, support, and acceptance of others, and at least as a default tendency, not on top of your game without it.
Yes, very aware that there is a lot more to her, which is why I was so determined to look at her chart. The Jupiter/Neptune conjunction stood out immediately - it's the fact that her childhood had such a major influence on her.
The Saturn sextile is probably my Father and also Grandfather who was an artist himself , interestingly my Grandfather was a Taurus and my father is Capricorn .. (Saturn ruler of Cap) and then Taurus my Grandfather..
My dad never believed she could draw until she showed him one day a rabbit she had drawn, he was gobsmacked.
What is interesting, is that she just has this natural talent to draw but she is not what I call a visionary artist.. she prints and does design.. I am more of a visionary, with novels, songwriting etc and the things I feel from others I always express in my songs which is just so Pisces, yet I am Scorpio - it comes through more spiritually for me.. Which is ironic really being as Pisces is the ultimate visionary. I feel I have more Piscean traits, but that may be because Neptune makes some pretty strong aspects in my chart and sits right my descendant and then opposes my ascendant .
About the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, I think you are right. She may (or may not) forgive but she will never forget that her father promised more than he could deliver (Jupiter excesses), and disillusioned her (Neptune). Or even if he did show his love in his own way and delivered a lot, it wasn't the kind of delivery she desired, or that went well with who she was. I actually now think that Saturn sextile was a denial of who she was, her father needing to see to believe in her talent speaks leaps and bounds to me about that. (Although I think she has a soft spot for her father, because it was impossible to miss that he was trying, whereas I think either her mother or grandparents took most of the blame for her self-image and relationship issues, the “how could you put your own emotional agenda ahead of mine”. I also think there was some degree of suffocation from her emotional reactions being criticized and controlled.)
And yes Neptune opposite the ascendent is very significant more later.
Your relationship with your parents seems to have been lighter on the drama, especially since, on a wide orb, the Sun semi-sextiles Jupiter, suggesting your father was better at making you happy and tended to keep his promises. But somehow with Sun semi-square Venus you grew up lacking affection towards yourself, but you probably worked to develop a healthy amount. Also Sun's conjunction to Uranus suggests he was very open-minded but may or may not have been a reliable presence.
Your mother may have been on the strict side, wanting to raise a proper lady, but at the end of the day you may have met her with less resistance, and learned a lot from her about being moral, polite, and agreeable with others, as well as the healthy balance between work and play (and now you “personal train” your own emotions and understand your responsibilities to yourself).
But with the square to mercury you may have felt that your mother just didn't GET you, and that speaking to her about your feelings was at times in vain. In your behavior this manifests as communicating your thoughts and feelings as two separate things (if you ever get to communicating your feelings, that is); you seldom have a single cohesive answer for someone, that emodies both what you think should happen, AND what you feel should happen, and feel that something is always getting overlooked in the process. If you go with what you feel – you feel you could be more rational, if you go with what you think is rational, you suck up your feelings. This goes on until you resolve the square (by figuring out how to think and feel the same thing, and unite your mind to meet your heart
).
Still, the Moon Venus quincunx aspect shows that your mother was affectionate towards you and that you received her love well. It's funny that it's a quincunx aspect because this only happens between planets in very different signs, but they miraculously work together. I think that you and your mother had different tastes and opinions but you were able to maintain a loving bond. I officially love the quincunx aspect because when a quincunx formed recently between Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Scorpio, is when I suddenly started freaking out and doing vocal exercises almost religiously (singing used to be a neglected tweenage dream), because this quincunx united rebellion and newness soaking up cardinal fire (initiative) with fear of karma and dicipline soaking up fixed water (soul and commitment). The quincunx in your natal chart unites the firey, communicative emotional nature with the earthy, grounded, people-charming romantic one. The ambitions you stand for involve your hobbies and communication. You feel that your creativity doesn't exist to the exclusion of your down-to-earth need to achieve – they can merge to produce the same result. Perhaps you flirt not only by showing that you are fair and ambitious, but that for all this you are also highly creative and self-pleasing with your ambitions.
IC ruler in the 6th house: your parents nurtured you primarily by doing useful tasks for you. They kept the home clean, ironed your clothes, made sure you had the gadgets that would be practical to you, fed you healthily, attended to your medical issues, displayed an example of planning their use of time and honest daily work in order to provide and achieve predictably.
MC ruler in the 6th house: the necessity of organization and an honest daily routine, practice in anything you want to achieve, was instilled in you. When you were much younger you may have done your homework religiously out of fear, or out of wanting to make them proud. But you were able to take away some of the good habits from this. Mercury on the 6th house cusp suggests your mind is preoccupied with tasks needing to be done and the order in which to do them.
