Thanks for the feedback, brother !
I think that you have a great sense of humour, by the way.
"Devil you know...versus the devil that you do not know," is obviously a figure of speech, it means that things that have been proven to work for you, previously, can be relied on, again, without fear, or hesitation ?
On the other hand, if you have been let down by certain people or situations, then, that is also a very useful piece of intel for you, as well ?
Regarding your career plan, your so called "career marker" and it's closest aspects, dictates the path of least resistence and ultimate success.
The career marker is best described by astrologer Jamie Binder in her legendary book,
Planets in Work, which is an excellent book for those of you who are struggling to find yourself a suitable career.
Like water flowing through the cracks, the closest aspect the career marker makes indicates how successful you will become.
Water, and all energy, does not care whether it is the square, the trine or the opposition. Water does not care ! Only we humans put restrictions on those things. Therefore, (in my opinion) the square, the opposition, the trine and the sextile, can all bring you career success, including money success.
There is really no difference between the "square "and the "trine." The difference is that the trine will kill you quicker, (just kidding). If you think the right way, then ALL aspects can make you successful ?
As Mars (co-ruler of X) makes a close trine (120 degree aspect) with Venus in Sagittarius, your career should be very successful with things of a Venusian nature, such as music, art, design, public relations, and also, the counselling and relationship business, etc.
Natal Mars in Aries also suggests self-employment or owning a small business.
Venus in the natal 11th house symbolizes detachment in relationships, but also, working with groups, either community groups, non profit societies, or even political organizations and unions, such as brotherhoods.
Another aspect that suggests success in small business is the preponderance of your natal planets in the eastern hemisphere of the natal chart. This always indicates strong self-will, self-determination, and willingness to master one's own destiny.
Finally, natal Sun square Mars indicates unavoidable tests or lessons with authority figures, including bosses, supervisors, and teachers.
Natal Saturn in the 12th house can sometimes suggest the early loss of an parental figure, such as a father, in which the identity compensates for, with a feelings of lack or loss? and/or compensentory behaviour ?
People who did not grow up with their original birth parents look at life much differently than those with normal upbringings.
The natal Moon = Pluto is also telling, suggestive of power struggles with family members, or even abusive situations not your own fault?
Relationships with females will be telling, I predict. You will attract a certain type of female throughout your life time until whatever karmic lessons need to be worked out, are fulfilled.
The natal Sun = Neptune, natally, in the 12 house, is often a delicate natal situation, in that you will need to figure out how much Sun and how much Neptune you need to be an effective human being.
Too much "Sun" and you are perceived as arrogant and perhaps too cocky. On the other hand, too much Neptune and you could be a phony and or deceive others.
The right blend, ultimately, is to serve some higher being, it could be God, a cause, a religion, or even some artistic expression.
Even with the highest of intentions, however, take note that Sun=Neptune can also bring ego wipeout, self-deception and deceitful people with a false agenda.
This includes Christians and so called religious people.
Sometimes, I find that the "devil" finds its way into even Christian like people and some of the most Satan like people are actually Christians ?
Therefore, one of the main pitfalls of having natal sun in the 12th house, is even if you are good natured or good intentioned, evil can come into your life at any time and people can trick or deceive you at any time ?
What is the solution? Well, the 12th house can frankly get along very nicely, without people, very well, and therefore, self-sufficiency is the answer.
Essentially, to be so self-sufficient that NO ONE can f you over ?
However, if you isolate yourself TOO MUCH (also, a 12th house pitfall?) you might scr*w yourself over and shut out beneficial learning opportunities for yourself ?
So, you have to lead a balanced life, and don't be so fanatical about things or even inflexible (a negative Scorpionic tendency, if you ask me ?)
Regarding Scorpion, since my daughter is Scorpion rising, I have come to observe you people, carefully. Scorpion is actually the fourth dual sign, next to Gemini , Pisces, and Sagittarius.
The duality is found is the co rulerships and Mars and Pluto. Pluto is actually a higher octave of Mars. a super Mars, if you will ?
The premise of Scorpion is either the eagle, or the scorpion.
The Eagle can attack or defend from the air, while the Scorpion can attack or defend from the ground. Therefore, you scorpions have to figure out whether to "attack" using the air game (striking, such as boxing, tkd, and muay thai) or the ground game, such as brazilian ju-jitsu or judo, which is trapping, joint locking, strangulation, etc.
Ideally, you should be able to flow from one concept to another, much like flowing from the trine to the square to the inconjunction and to the opposition. Lets face it, in most natal charts, there will be all of these conditions. As I said, there is really no difference between the square and the trine. You can win/defeat others, with all aspects.
Good luck to you !
