No time now, but I'll look more closely at it later. One thing--you know about "orbs", right? If not look them up, because a quick look suggests that you're going WAY too wide on what you're referring to as Square and Opposition.

Hi,
I have little idea about Manglik and am still studying Vedic Astrology, so I cannot comment on your elucidations of it.
However, per Western tropical Astrology, neither Asc. ruler, Mercury, nor your Sun is debilitated, so I do not see any real issue with your health or the longevity of your life. On the contrary, you have a robust Leo Sun that is in a tight sextile with Jupiter. It is in a tight aspect to a strong and hot Aries Mars, which perhaps makes you quite high strung with a lot of nervous energy, and, it is this in combination with a Virgo Asc. that makes you susceptible to digestion problems. You are a bit of a worrier and the Sun - Mars makes you want to do/ achieve a lot, so you are always 'at it' (high-strung).
What you need to do is learn to take it easy and relax at regular intervals. What would be excellent for you is yoga, but from a good teacher that really has an idea about it and can teach you the real thing (physical exercises in combination with breathing exercises). That is what you need and you should continue that for the rest of your life - as a real regimen (just the way you shower every day). If you start with that, in just three months, you will see the difference. Another cause of your indigestion is also that you have a tight Merc. - Moon aspect with the Moon fallen in scorpio. Your thoughts (Merc.) directly affect your stomach (Merc. in Cancer, Virgo Asc. and Moon -Merc.). If you can, try to go in for less meat (meat produces heat) and more vegetables.
As far as your career goes, with Mercury on your MC (career line), and Moon - Merc. in a tight aspect, a creative career (graphic design or where you can write or something), is excellent. Jupiter is on your MC, so you will always have something exciting and expansive to do. This does not mean that you will never be without a job for even a month, but certainly you will not be without a job for many 6 months or more. You will always find something. It can also be that your friends/ social circle will be helpful with that.
With Jupiter on your MC and ruling your 4th house, it could well be that you might live abroad for work reasons.
May I ask if you have ever worked with your family (like a sort of a family business) or if you have worked from home for sometime)?

Mikhail, your Saturn Return was a one-two punch, first Transiting your Moon, then the Return itself. That accounts for the anxiety and inner turmoil of the last few years. You're past that now, but it did correctly convince you that you need a change in career-choice. Jupiter is the key to reconciling your NN and your Ascendant. It's in a Facilitating position, enabling you to succeed in a professional capacity in a field that makes life easier for others. You have THREE placements in the Signs they rule, including the Sun and Mars, which means you're capable of a great deal of self-confidence, especially with the Sun Trining Mars. You have Catalytic ability when it comes to affecting people emotionally (Moon in Scorpio), but it can be abrasive, and "rub people the wrong way". You need an outlet for your high-capacity energy flow, but it has to be synched with your Ascendant in Virgo, which is where helping others becomes important. Mercury in Cancer will go well with that. I would suggest your goal should be eventually starting your own business, instead of working for someone else as an employee. Fill a need in an area you really enjoy, where you already have skills, and you'll find satisfaction and greatly improved health by helping others overcome problems in their own lives. Btw, the Saturn/Mars Square is "out-of-Sign" which makes it much less of an obstacle.

JUPITER is the key, not Venus....Sounds like you really enjoy drawing, and you're good at it. Just be aware that you shouldn't say everything you think--Virgos and Geminis learn that early on!
Try to find a way to work drawing into a type of helpful service, and hire someone with good people-skills to smooth your social interactions. Uh, you're kind of stuck with your Natal-chart. Relocating can modify it to some extent, but doesn't replace it. Maybe America would be a better place to EXPAND on your work opportunities, if Europe is too restrictive. Both Virgo and Pisces are Signs of service. They're like back-to-back allies, with Virgo as the practical, down-to-Earth partner, handling the details and making it work, and Pisces supplying the imagination to give Virgo something to go on. It may sound counterintuitive, but in your case, service to others through your profession will up your personal energy in a very healthy way, as well as make you more able to form a stable personal relationship. Just think about it, and Jupiter will give you a good sense of direction.

You helping your dad some times is enough for your family and you to be working together when your 4th house ruler is spot on your MC. It doesn't have to be full time with no other job, but you confirmed what I saw.
Your MC, per the chart you posted, is in Gemini, not Taurus, and, with Merc. ruling it, sales is just as suitable as graphic design. A challenge with Merc. (and sometimes Mars) on the MC is that sometimes the person can feel easily bored and might dislike any kind of a strict routine, which a regular 9-to-5 brings with itself. Most corporate people are unhappy, not because the job itself is bad, but because 1) they get too greedy and want to continuously prove themselves to keep jumping the corporate ladder, 2) they are thus not able to achieve a work-life balance, 3) their own personal habits interfere, 4) if in a country like America, the system itself is a *****, what with the 'employment at will' policy allowing the corporations to fire you without even an hour's notice, so people work in fear.
Now that is entirely up to you. I will say though, sometimes people misunderstand that not eating meat automatically means more carbs and sugar. That does not have to be. One can have a pretty substantial diet by having more legumes and lentils - make great and really filling soups and stews, all sorts of vegetables, fish and eggs, nuts, cheese and yoghurt, etc. There are at least 50 healthier substitutes for (overrated meat products). Meat is the cause of most mysterious diseases in the West.
It is strange that every second person on this forum (and outside) complains of depression. That tells me that despite all the 'abundance' and 'progress' we think we have made, we are falling deeper in to that dark pit. I cannot really see depression in your chart. You have a Saturn - Venus, but that's it, and Saturn in all our charts is connected to some personal planet mostly. Going by that, lol, I should be most depressed because I have many Saturn connections (difficult ones, even). I don't go for that glamourous Scorpio jazz about intensity and depression and whatnot, but you will find many that do go for it, rather intensely.

Honey, if you start believing every bit of bull advertised on the net and the telly, you will soon be living on air. Actually, even that is polluted. Did you know that most meats are carcinogenic. So, now what? Buy legumes and lentils at Asian/Indian shops that sell just the dry grain in packs, and you can soak them in water and cook them on you own. Those packs are completely preservative - free. Don't buy the canned stuff and you will do fine.Aren't legumes estrogenic though? I've heard soy especially causes estrogen levels to rise in men... belive me I don't need to become even more attractive to guys and repulsive to women. I apparently give the wrong vibes although to be honest I'm not really effeminate in any way. Sure, I look much younger and have a baby/boyish face but that's about it. It's still a mystery why I repusle females sexually, and no one can tell even astrologically?
That has been my reality so far anyway - I can't have the ones I want and desire, yet I'm not interested in the ones I can have.Been planning suicide over that many times, but on the other hand I can save some money for some fun with a hooker which is better than nothing. I know this sounds repuslive to women, but only to those that don't have a Venus/Saturn heavy aspect. They're just some entitled f*##%$s who don't realize how good they have it, they can literally attract someone just by going to the stote to buy food. No matter how funny I am and how much small talk I do it leads to nothing. Meanwhile my Mars in Aries needs a release... Only those men/women with Venus/Saturn or women with Mars/Saturn can understand the loneliness, isolation and not attracting the ones you desire.
I know many will be offended but come on try living with a Venus/Saturn for a while or whatever other aspects makes me hot for guys and totally not attractive for women at the same time (anyone?). The only good thing is that probably it might be house-related, so a move far away might fix things.
Still no one told me why I even give off those apparently gay vibes while I'm straight and attracted to women and what to do about it? I cannot live forever on the good feeling I get from dreams of being sexual with a girl and hugging and kissing her. That's just a dream, I want the real thing.
PLEASE I PLEAD, CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHICH ASPECTS OR PLANETS IN HOUSES CAUSE WOMEN TO BE SEXUALLY UNINTERRESTED IN ME?!
Let you Mars release itself by doing some physical sport. Don't be too desperate because women don't like desperate men, makes them rather unattractive. Men are supposed to be hunters, not pleaders. Nothing in your chart makes you unattractive. However, Virgo Asc., per my own observations, usually have a chest turned inwards and walk with a bit of a slouch sometimes. They are usually also narrow-statured, and sometimes shy. Those are the only things that perhaps make Virgo Asc. men come across are demure and lacking in confidence. My advice: be yourself, but try to improve where you can, but do it for yourself (not for women).

Serving others is absolutely NOT equal to slavery. Which century are you living in? That would make all charity workers, volunteers, social workers slaves
. They are the REAL heroes of this pathetic dog-eat-dog captialist world.

Yes, you can start showing subtly. Just don't expect miracles to happen overnight. Also, there is a time for everything. 30 is not the end of the world. In fact, it is quite young if you ask me. People that get married before 30 (most) end up having at least one divorce behind them in today's times.
Not sure if this has to do with the culture you come from or whatever, but your idea of volunteer/charity work seems a bit strange to me. "Hippie enough" to work for a charityYes, social workers and the likes are heroes. But I know I will hate every day of such a job. And I would much rather give/help with charities about animals rather than people. I gave a dinner to a stray dog last Christmas but I feel uncomfortable when some beggar asks me for money. I'm not hippie enough to work for a charity.
. I usually don't talk about myself when it comes to such things (despite being a Leo Asc.), but I have done a fair amount of volunteer work in my life, despite working for banks. Now how does doing volunteer work make me a hippie? All it takes to do volunteer/charity work is a good heart, a giving attitude and time, and, if you can, money. I live in New York and I give to the homeless most everyday of my life, and the satisfaction it gives me to share what God has given me is more than almost anything else in life. One can always give, no matter how much (/little) one has or what age one is. It is the attitude that makes one a giver, not the pocket or a job, or owning a car.

It is my belief that no matter where you go around this globe, you cannot escape the Asc. you were born with. In your case, Virgo. What can happen is that you grow in terms of the new environment/ challenges, etc., which make you more independent and daring. That too will be reflected in your chart.
You might not like it, and I apologise in advance, but to me it seems you are looking for excuses. Sometimes you call doing charity = slavery, then you call it "hippie" like, and now you call it "bad luck". It is ok, you don't have to help anyone outside your family. Giving comes from the heart, not from compulsion. I think perhaps you don't like parting with whatever you give, perhaps think about it, almost regret after giving, and that causes all the negative vibrations. And, if you are more comfortable with helping animals instead of human beings, do that. There is no compulsion. Anyway, good luck with whatever you do.BTW, I on the other hand get bad luck if I give to people on the street. It's like their lower vibration pollutes me lol

Most kids are sunnier than they are in adulthood because kids have no worries, no reponsibilities, are more carefree etc. And, as one can see, you like to often see the glass as half empty, which means you are still living your Virgo Asc. and are being critical. Just having a Leo Sun does not mean you will always be sunny. You have other factors weighing in more perhaps, like your Sco Moon - often given to pessimism and bitterness, besides your Virgo Asc.

So, going by what you yourself said... that given that there are seven billion people, and the observations of one astrologer might not be reliable, then why should we take the observations of ROB BIPPUS as reliable - one astrologer, eh.

Sorry to hear that. The bitterness could be seen in the chart, so I mentioned it. Thank you again for endorsing that observation of mine. Being a Leo Sun, you need to develop self-confidence.
I already mentioned in my first post on this thread, I think, that you have Jupiter on your MC, so going abroad to work and live is quite likely. Jupiter is currently transiting your 3rd house of contracts, so you can start applying. Next year, it will aspect your 4th house (where you live) and the 10th house (where you work), so you might even get a call form another country. I have lived in Germany and the UK, and would wholeheartedly recommend Germany. Very balanced country in every respect and this has been my very own self-experienced, first hand observation for over a decade. The US under the present govt, not so good. Germany will also give you the chance to be closer to your home country. Just some thoughts.

I use Venus and Mars for appearance.

I have thick, wavy hair, an open face and a big head. I am quite concerned about how I look/my appearance. I walk straight and proud, no slouch. My Asc. is Leo. Venus is Piscean and my Mars Capricornian.
Asc. is what one mostly looks like. And, again, Mihail too has confirmed that.

Mars in Capricorn exhibits determination. Venus in Pisces is beneficial, both for appearance and sense of fairness and justice; there is vanity as well. I look for demeanor and attitude where appearance is concerned. Standing straight is good for energy, which is a priority for Ascendant in Leo. Mikhail exhibits traits of Venus in Scorpio (hidden motives) and Mars in Aries (potential aggressiveness), which might be cautionary for women he finds attractive. Chest in and slouching is an attempt to appear non-threatening, an Ascendant in Virgo consideration.

Hi Mihail,
When deciding on a country, I suggest that you put an astrocartographical chart of yours and avoid the countries through which Mars and Saturn lines pass. I don't really look at the outer planets.
For instance, in my very own case, I avoid living on the West Cost of the US because my Saturn line runs through there. Since I know that, I go and check Saturn in my chart, and see that it is weak. Saturn in any case should be avoided, but I have a double reason to avoid it. So, I refrain from the West Coast. So, Saturn and Mars is what you can try to avoid.

Now we can argue for the heck of it. In my own case, my Leo Asc. is what I come across as in mannerism and looks. Venus in Pisces should give me a dreamy/ soft look, which I don't have. Mars in Cap should give me a bony, gaunt look, which I also don't have - all this if we were to go by your claim that Venus and Mars make your appearance. I have been told I come across as confident and arrogant and that I fill the room - all of which I subscribe to Leo, without a doubt.
Of course, my Mars and Venus count, but not how I come across and my appearance. That is what I am trying to say here.
Same goes for Mihail. Before he himself mentioned, I put it out there that Virgo Asc. usually may walk with their chest sunken and a slouch. Mihail confirmed both those appearance traits. Now there underlying reasons as to why this Virgo Asc. might do it could differ. My own observation there, if you like, is that Virgo Asc. are often quite critical of themselves. This may make them uncomfortable in their own skin or at least dissatisfied with themselves, and this then may result in their slouching, etc.

Sun and Moon play into appearance as well. It's a variety of factors, including the M.C. (how one presents oneself in public).

You are Not too old for Pete's sake at 30. It is your attitude that is coming in the way. If you are going to self impose so many restrictions, you will lose out on opportunities. Seldom anything works out in one go. Like I said, try Astrocartography, and try to avoid places with Saturn and possibly Mars lines. Rest is up to you.
