I finally got my butt into gear and switched over to tiny pic so I could post my natal chart.
Emphasis please on Pluto and Mars.
Also please, explain the Vertex as I am not familiar with that.
Just a beginner, so please take all of this with a good scattering of salt. Could be wrong, ridiculous, or misleading. No self-revelation expected re: private matters. Also, no offense intended! Some things you'll have to research (because I would also have to).
There seems to be a seesaw pattern between the upper left quadrant (public life and higher self) and lower left quadrant (private life and personal self), with Pluto as the fulcrum. Maybe you feel like you are living two different lives which alternate in importance or are sometimes in conflict, and you have different costumes and presentations of self for the two lives.
Pluto in Scorpio in your first house. This seems to indicate a really intense and probing personality with a strong intuition or piercing gaze, possibly a Rasputin vibe. People might shy away from you, which might make you feel like an outcast or outsider.
Uranus in the second house of possessions and material resources, including your own body. It's approaching conjunction with Neptune in the house of communication and siblings, both planets in Capricorn. This is a generational aspect but I think the way it is placed in your 2nd and 3rd houses might have to do with putting utopian dreams into practice on Earth, with the help of internet communication.
Uranus in the second house might indicate a socialist or communal attitude toward material possessions. Or maybe people keep stealing your stuff. You might also be an early adopter of transhuman upgrades.
Mars in Libra square Uranus might indicate a preference for open or multiple sexual relationships and maybe a broad taste or fluid sexuality. Maybe there is some conflict here, such as aggression, possessiveness, or anger that is at odds with utopian intentions.
Pluto square Venus indicates some kind of conflict between personal intensity and harmony with others, maybe career difficulties because of it.
However, Mercury provides some amelioration with both Pluto-Venus square and Mars-Uranus square. Your intelligence, quick wit, and way with words can help with these, but you also have to remember not to be overwhelming or overbearing.
Despite all this putative intensity, things look good in your 10th house of career or public role. From Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter, I'm guessing something involving the arts, communication, and some kind of benevolent organization.
Sun in Virgo indicates someone who is practical, meticulous, maybe perfectionistic. The 11th house covers teachers, mentors, and benefactors (in both directions). Maybe you are likely to seek teachers and mentors as well as become one yourself, e.g., as in a Kung-Fu lineage (which might explain Mars in that house).
Mars in Libra seems to indicate learning how to use your personal power in a balanced way, i.e., just enough power or least force necessary, and maybe this will be a lesson you pass on to others.
Hoping this helps and even if it's way off-base, I hope it's in a helpful way, e.g., things to cross off as absolutely not true.
Best wishes and thank you for this opportunity,

I DO believe in Astrology and am very fond of it. But I was working strictly out of astrology books and had no internet access for some time.

I have two Ephemerides and a rough outline that helps me do charts.
But apparently there's so much more that none of these books covered during
"my time away"
I am a homoaffectionate male, Age 26, with a tendency to... with a certain relativism in regards to relationships. I tend to stray.
I have a few convictions on my record, and a history of substance abuse.
Thank you kindly. It means a lot to me.
Could someone also give me an insight into Chiron sitting up there near the Midheaven?
I like that word you used, "homoaffectionate". "Homoappreciative" would be another good one, I think.
I don't want to let this go unanswered, but I had better leave it for someone else. I'm learning how much of the basics I don't know about interpretation.Mars in Libra in the 12th House: What does that specific trifecta mean?
