Astrology Reading
Today was my first astrology reading. I've had psychic reading on my bucket list for awhile and this person was recommended. It wasn't a psychic reading but in my mind may be more useful than a psychic reading.
She covered my natal chart and north node in Leo. It was 2.5 hours and she'll provide me with the recording of the session later. Since it was a crash course, I will have lots to sleep on tonight (digest) or as the French say "sleep with tonight".
Mainly, what she explained is that my nature (and where I will find my fiery passion) is in becoming deeply intimate with myself and then with one other person. Once I achieve that, then career and all other parts of my life will fall into place naturally. My comfort zone is to gather resources (money) but I will never been fully satisfied with that. To really light my Aries fire and tap into my Fire Trine, I need to find joyful/playfulness and tantra-deep intimacy.
“the universe is encouraging you to play up your North node sign traits in these areas of life. Consider the following: bond with another person and experience real intimacy. You may even meet a kindred soul that feels like a "soulmate." Become open to accepting the resources, or even the moral support that others give you. Learn to deal with issues”
She mentioned a lot that I’m very spiritual and even psychic based on my natal chart. That I should meditate often. That my psychic abilities could come through in my dreams.
"Major lifestyle transitions can happen. You'll discover that drastic changes beyond your control often bring rejuvenation to outworn situations and therefore, a new lease on life. Pay attention to your dreams; they often contain psychic insights that can be pertinent to waking life scenarios. Keep a dream journal by your bedside to record impressions upon waking."
"Jupiter in the 9th House: “”Jupiter (to expand) in the House of Mind Expansion
You are lucky when it comes to higher education, foreign travel and with philosophy. You may travel far and wide, seeking the advice of foreigners, or those with quite different backgrounds. You have psychic ability: vivid dreams and inspirations. You may study occult or religious matters. You could use this skill to help others and to guide them in their lives. You may be involved in conventional education as a professor. You could also be involved in religion, such as the established church. You may use your abilities to be involved in legal work, especially where it involves the theory of law and the drafting of legislation."My sun sign is in the house of communication, along with mercury.... I find this ironic and will have to explore this a little more.
"Mercury in Pisces indicates a gentle communicator that receives her information in unique and mystical ways through a Universal stream of consciousness. Mercury is very at home in the 3rd House of Communication. Mercury sextiles, or is in harmony, with Chiron in Taurus. Chiron here is retrograde meaning that there is an unresolved past life issue regarding being the fullest expression of Chiron in Taurus in the House of Creativity. Chiron in Taurus shows how your life embodies a search for values on the physical plane, and it becomes critically important for you to identify what is right or wrong, permanent or ephemeral. Chiron in the 5th House says to have great fun, make gathering information fun and help others to heal their creativity. These two planets (Mercury and Chiron) are pointing the way to your MidHeaven: your highest career aspirations through combining Soul/Spirit and all your natural gifts, talents and passions. This Finger of GOD is pointing the way saying use your Soul gifts of Cosmic Communication and have fun with healing through Creativity and Passions for self and others!"
Some of it made me think of my enneagram six. The opposite of my sun house is Libra.... but also Jupiter and saturn. Jupiter (to expand) and Saturn (to control/focus) are opposites and it's in conjunction with the sign libra which is the scales/balance. So the two opposites reminded me of my many polar opposite personalities and libra is trying to find the balance in that. Also, my sun is arm and arm with Mars (man) and Venus (woman), so the two sides are ying and yang (the masculine and the feminine).
"Triple conjunction of Venus, Sun and Mars: The Sun intensifies here! Your sense of discrimination and innate good taste means that you recognize true quality and are a connoisseur of all that is fine and beautiful. You are a born doer, with an incredible drive to accomplish and achieve in life. Your ambitions are backed up by the will to get things done. You can be very impulsive, and others might find you a bit too aggressive. You try hard and you always push on toward whatever goals you have in mind. You have a natural appreciation for action and energy, and probably love sports and an active life. Sex is important to you. You are often moved to pursue your desires, and have a great appreciation for life."
Another section that made me think of my enneagram:
"Saturn in Libra: “Saturn (to control) in Libra (Diplomatic and Harmonious)” In Retrograde
Saturn in Libra: you are diplomatic, tactful, and you have balanced judgment which inspires trust. There is a need for you to cooperate and share in harmony, patience, and love with other people. Marriage or partnerships may be restricting, requiring hard work and discipline so that you may learn the lessons of cooperation rather than competition. Marriage and partnerships give you a sense of security and for that reason you seek them out. You may marry for practical reasons, for money, or to someone a lot older or younger. Various possibilities exist with this position. You may take great trouble to find a mate who is able to demonstrate a similar integrity, and thus marry at a later age than most, or you may choose an older partner or a contemporary who is apt to be austere or undemonstrative. A desire for perfection may make you too demanding in the marriage or your view of marriage may be too conventional or oldfashioned. If Saturn is badly aspected, then you may be cold or regard marriage as a yoke with which you do not care to burden yourself. Or lastly, you may tell yourself that you will never find a partner who will measure up to your requirements. You seek control in a diplomatic and harmonious way in relation to others, particularly in onetoone relationships. You may make rules about your relationships, and feel guilty when they are broken, by you, or the other person. And you must have a partner in order to feel good. The fear of losing a partner may limit you. You can use partners simply for appearnace without being deep or committed. You seek to continue relationships, however."This was first two paragraphs of document she provided. These are the first two things she looks at when viewing the natal chart.
“WESTERN HEMISPHERE: Dominant
Your interactions with other people take on a paramount role in your Life. You value both your personal relationships, and the interactions of the human race. You have a gift for mediating in your relationships, as you possess insight into the nuances of relationships. You learn most about yourself in the context of your relationships. You need to make sure you are not engulfed in stifling relationships."When I read be “sure you are not engulfed in stifling relationships”, I thought this included most of my relationships.... except my friendship with Jason. He was the only one I could be silly with and not be criticized for it.
"First Quadrant: Dominant
First Quadrant refers to the development of selfidentity. This is where you are developing the "self," which is represented in the First House; your money, possessions, morals and values in the Second House; and your communication style and early learning in Third House. This quadrant represents selfdevelopment and selfconcern. You see yourself as an independent individual, capable of organizing your own Life. At times you may be selfcentered and may have a difficult time admitting it. The planets in this quadrant will highlight the areas of life in which you desire to express yourself."And my aries nature falls right in line with what's been provided as feedback to me:
“Aquarius Sun: The Sun (to integrate) in Aries (energetic and urgent). You bring great energy and enthusiasm, and have a sense of urgency about organising your life. You are a powerful starter of things, but might not be so good at seeing them through to their conclusion (cardinal). You are however enterprising and never short of ideas (cardinal). You tend to be self centred (I am) and to forcefully (fire) seek your goals, without taking into account how others might react. You are persistent, but you may give up if you do not attain your goals quickly."
I asked her about my self-centered Aries and how I was supposed to end my journey in Picese (humanitarian). She said to not worry about the self-centered and strong bull because I have a lot of caring in my chart so I will not become arrogant.
I'll leave you with more information about my north node and how I am supposed to act - like a lioness!
"“The Spiritual Queen-”-- Proud, regal, dramatic, and a leader, those who have the sign of Leo representing their Soul Potential honor and respect themselves, are inspirational, and have a powerful presence. They are joyful, spontaneous, and playful, yet they can be sophisticated in leadership and teaching others to do the same. Archetypes: the actor; the leader; the child; the inspired commander; the sun; the Lion/Lioness.
North Node Leo 8th House/ South Node Aquarius 2nd House: Give yourself permission to shine. Discover that it's O.K. to be in the spotlight. Learn to accept praise and recognition for your achievements. Develop a healthy self-esteem and work on believing that you can accomplish your goals. Pay attention to what your inner child wants to do and then go for it. Play, create and follow your heart's desire. Take some calculated risks just for the fun of it.
The universe is encouraging you to play up your North node sign traits in these areas of life. Consider the following: bond with another person and experience real intimacy. You may even meet a kindred soul that feels like a "soul-mate." Become open to accepting the resources, or even the moral support that others give you. Learn to deal with issues concerning inheritance, or your partner's finances. Major lifestyle transitions can happen. You'll discover that drastic changes beyond your control often bring rejuvenation to outworn situations and therefore, a new lease on life. Pay attention to your dreams; they often contain psychic insights that can be pertinent to waking life scenarios. Keep a dream journal by your bedside to record impressions upon waking."
