Aqua,... see,... a lot of what you're telling me, just burns me inside... and I am resisting writing a very angry post. I cannot be angry with people who don't see things that are in front of them, but... I gotta be straight-forward here... get a clue, before it's too late, my dear Aqua... seriously, man,... if you love your brother, you HAVE to get a clue in this picture. Please hear me out!!!!
Everyone has made really good suggestions, so I don't want to over-shadow or down-play what anyone has said, and I apologize if it HAS been said, because a few that I've browsed through actually did say a few points I want to make here... but...... I'm sorry, but I don't feel that something like 6 times attempting suicide is just "over with"... so I thought I'd put my two cents in for what it's worth. It doesn't just "end" because you go to college. In fact, if the true problems that exist aren't really examined in full light and he doesn't understand what really went on (whether it was a chemical imbalance or what it was...), that **** will just morph itself into something else and become some OTHER kind of dangerous activity.
Here's what I am seeing though, and pardon if it's been said, I was browsing through others' posts and a lot of people here seemed to take sympathy on the fellow. Of course, anyone who is successful with suicide, doesn't "leave" this Earth relatively soon in my experience, but that's just because I've had (or rather, my mother's had) experiences with suicides before in her past (we never truly "die"). Or, so my belief goes... but anyway... first-hand experience is all I'm saying, says that we don't really die, it just becomes obviously a lot more difficult to communicate vis-a-vis the physical world that we are now living in.
I'm seeing a completely disorganized family set-up that happened to not fit for his needs as a true intuitive. This guy's smart. Your brother is not some idiot. Anyone with a Sun unaspected (especially in the 9th House) is EXTREMELY talented and very misfit in this world. He knows what he's doing. He knows that this gets him attention. Whether he admits it or not, he is a rather smart player here. I honestly do not feel he would ever commit suicide. He would probably rather die of unusual causes, but I do not feel this is a suicidal situation ---- Saturn-Uranus in 8th.
Anyone with Venus-Mars Square in their Natal Chart usually have some kind of awkward social behavior, or they have a different sexual appetite than most (usually more pronounced, especially for males which tends to show up with quite a passionate, un-ending need for belonging and being with others, male OR female.... with females who have this alignment, they usually get sort of passionate in their own way, but basically both sexes can't readily sort out their male-female differences within themselves... as we are all made up of both male and female parts...) There is a lot to be said of that alignment alone. So, homosexuality is far from the question - it's "sexuality" PERIOD that is the issue, in my humble opinion. That "dynamic" is something that stays with us when we have that alignment in this lifetime's natal chart....... we can work with that and turn it into positive passion for life and living it and doing what we love and accepting our conflictual male-female parts. We need to be able to feel loved and accepted and the Venus-Mars Square tends to create conflict in how to express love and receive it. So, right there, says a lot.
Clairvoyantly when I look at his chart, I see a mother holding a stick at him, a wooden stick, like she's ready to beat him down... which to me represents his feelings of vulnerability and feeling threatened ---- WHETHER OR NOT this is "true" or "not true" that she is abusive towards him, there is some obvious antimosity and pain/struggle there between them two, and your brother might feel a little defensive with her from the get-go... he perhaps ALSO has, some antimosity towards her in particular because he did not feel protected (Moon in Pisces with a Square to Mars suggests he was vulnerable and abused and his mother was not there to protect him).... and by the way, the mother needs to see a psychologist as well, just as much as he does, I hope your psychologist-friend suggested this at the very least, just for her OWN peace of mind. Because, this isn't just a "my brother has a problem"... This doesn't "start" with just him, or her, or you or any of the immediate family. This stuff is trace-able down back YEARS and years... so, playing the blame game will help no one here.... you ALL should see a family psychologist TOGETHER and SEPERATELY. Plus, I think it would help your brother to know that YOU ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.... that you all are working towards becoming a more loving and understanding family of one another. Unless you have a serious chemical imbalance, these things just don't grow on trees, so I feel your brother is right there at that point. I might see a personality disorder with someone who has like a Sun Opposing Neptune or Sun Opposing Mars/Pluto Conjunction.... but nothing here says that....
*Note: I'm not saying all who have those alignments have a personality disorder... plus, I'm not certified for Clinical Psychology in any way... it's just been my experience that those with diagnosed personality disorders, HAVE those alignments....... equally they are quite unique in the world and gifted in comparison to other folks though...*
("These things, that grow on trees" referring to "the bouts of anger and depression and suicide attempts"...) What would help is to see it for what it is-- he (like a couple here have said) needs to want to change on his own and develop his own sense of confidence.
But, I suggest not to leave the family out of the picture in this situation. I apologize if I seem way off, but I just feel strongly about this. I get the vibe that all the blame and attention is being placed on the brother here, and I don't feel that's right... I really don't. Call me all wet, but I don't think it's a good thing to do. And, it certainly doesn't just "become a happy family" out of nowhere. That's ridiculous talk...
But, do as ye will.
