Yes. I was a teacher for many years (taught the blind and then piano/voice) and then I became a teacher of metaphysical topics and an astrologer. My Aries Sun, Mars and Mercury are in the 8th house which rules metaphysics. I don't do Aries type vocations - its the house. I approach metaphysics with Aries enthusiasm. My MC is Gemini. I love to write but it has not been a profession. Instead, the ruler of Gemini - Mercury - is in the 8th house of metaphysics.
Wow you must be quite talented, it reads like you have had a very fulfilling journey so far. Thanks for sharing.
What interests you? Sagittarians are usually interested in a lot of different things.
I will go in chronological order of when the interest appeared:
- I spent my early years mostly bed ridden, so I became a bookworm very early. Mostly Sci Fi/Fantasy & huge encyclopedias.
- Late childhood I played a lot of football/soccer, I was naturally skilled but too weak and physiologically sensitive to ever become a professional.
- Interesting in drawing develops early teens, trying to copy the great comic book illustrators, my mother was great at drawing so I tried to see If I could do it. Also begin experimenting with electronic music.
- 14-16 years old - begin writing. I was already introverted, but this is when my inner life really came alive, dreams become more vivid. I stopped going to church with my family and became interested in Zen & Taoism. Beginning of anxiety attacks and hypochondria.
- 17-21 - Anxiety attacks get progressively worst. Interest in spirituality and metaphysics develops. Study Fourth Way teachings of Ouspensky & Gurdjieff obsessively. During this period I fall in love with Bach, Thelonious Monk, Ravel and begin piano lessons. I focus on music more than writing in this period. Study Philosophy at University.
- 22-24 - Grad school for Artificial Intelligence as I said. Have my first real spiritual experiences, dreams become frighteningly vivid, felt the presence of something greater than me. Drop out of Grad school and anxiety attacks also slowly go away, had my last one 6 years ago. Writing becomes important again.
- 24 to now nearing my first Saturn return. Mostly focused on writing fiction, plays and screenplays which I hope to direct.
Other interest include; Architecture, Shoemaking, Fine Arts(Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture etc), Synthesizer building, Dead languages, Anarchism......
