What lessons am I here to learn?

It's now almost a year since I began delving into astrology, and I've been working hard on my many immaturities - thanks in great part to this incredible community. :)

Before the year ends, I'd like to know what stands out to someone with a more trained eye - what major areas requiring improvement do you perceive in this chart? I'm having trouble sorting the chaff from the wheat; while I have tried to read into tense placements I am not sure which of them merit conscious altering, and which ones are a waste of energy and simply need to be worked around. I'll set them as goals for the months to come (should I live to see them).

For example, I don't know whether my tendency towards not caring for recreation and general socialising mores is something that needs to be amended.

Things I've tried to work on this year:
Extreme work avoidance (fear-driven)
Ego-driven behaviour in personal relationships
Irregular diet + lack of activity
Lack of empathy / self-absorption

isee 3 dynamics that might belessons for you.


first your node is square to Uranus and neptune.
this actually shows you have very strong astral/dreams powers and you could also be subject to seing vision. this generally shows great creativity and a very intelligent mind.


a problem with this aspect is that you may have great ideas and inspirations but also have a lack of persistence. that is you dream lofty dreams but don't folow through on making these real.


this aspect can also make you short tempered with others who do not have the sharp wit and mind that you do.you must learn not to judge others by the standards you set for yourself because you will almost always be disappointed in others.



secondly, your moon/sun midpoint is conjunct chiron. this is somewhat related to the first point.
this pattern again gives a very sharp intellect. it gives you a very incisive and critical mind.
the problem is that you can be too critical of the mindless social games and dialogue. you also want substance in words and ideas. you also expect, no demand ,that those around you be coherent in their words and action... that is that they do what they say. and when you see falsity or hypocrisy, you immediately identify it as such. this tendency can lead to a loss of friends or acquaintances because most people do no want to hear their short comings spoken about. you often insult people without meaning to when you tell them what you see and think. yo need to learnto be tactful in your communications with others.


the third dynamic is your venus/.mars conjunction square to Saturn.
i think this is more general in that when you fall in love you expect fidelity and devotion whereas many times you have been disappointed when the one your fall in love withh does not show the same long term devotion and truth to you.

Hi Rahu. Thank you so much for your detailed response. I've made a mental note of everything you've said and will give it some thought.

I identify with the first two statements in general, although I don't consider my intellect to be very incisive (may have something to do with the combust mercury / moon sq mercury). I have an extremely vivid imagination but have no idea what to do with it, despite being an artist! Static illustrations fail me. Perhaps if I was a filmmaker or something...but I am following a different career path. I love your point about the moon / sun midpoint - it's spot on and very sobering.

I'm not too sure about the venus / mars conj interpretation. My romantic life has played out a little differently so far. But perhaps it's something I need to be mindful of in the future. :)

Thank you so much for answering!

Are you expecting some all knowing person to spoon-feed you your lessons, like:

1.
2.
3.
4.


And do it without any input from you?


Your chart is the blueprint of your life. It tells the basic challenges and the how you will navigate using this body in this life. The lessons that you need to accomplish will change as you move through life. And so the lessons that you have now in your 20's will be far different than the lessons you need to accomplish in your 50's in 30 years from now. And they will also depend in the 50's as to how well you accomplished the lessons of the intervening years. So in you don't work at it between 25-55, your second Saturn Return will be a BEAR.

Hi Samantha! Thank you for answering. I do understand your point about not expecting to be spoonfed by others here, but I believe a re-read of my post may change your perspective on what I'm really trying to ask.

Essentially, I've identified the disharmonious / tense placements and aspects, but am having trouble figuring out what things take the greatest precedence, and I do trust the wisdom of a more senior astrologer (like yourself!) to guide me. I just want to know what, in your experience, sticks out as the most major (maybe nodal?) basic challenges to you.

After discovering astrology earlier this year, I've finally begun to emerge from many years of personal failure, so I have a sense of a squandered youth, and great regret for all the personal energy I wasted on ineffective self-troubleshooting - I don't want to repeat that mistake, and am of course willing to provide any feedback that may be required. :) I most certainly do not want my second Saturn Return to be a BEAR!
