Habitually busy mind.

The hierarchy - especially in the work place, the classroom, the workshop - can make your mind spin. When your karma is triggered the angry/critical boss may arrive right on cue. The question to ask yourself, if this happens, is whether this work is actually meaningful to you. If it feels like drudgery, walk away. If it energizes you, if you feel like you’re mastering skills that empower you, that feel potent, then stand your ground. Your courage, passion and drive must be retrieved from the underworld. Learning a craft, finding mentors who are passionately engaged in their own work will help. 

Nesting instinct

Turning inward, taking shelter in long-term intimate bonds is a habitual response to soothe the revved up mind. You have a keen instinct for the people who will weave with you the long-shared story. You radiate kindness and when you’re with your most trusted others, you’ll feel centered and safe. 

The need to create protective walls - the walls of the home, the private intimacy of close relationships, the inner world of feeling, dreams, imagination, the loving bonds with family/clan - nourishes and organizes your life. 

That being said, there’s a strong need to act for yourself, to think for yourself, to see the world from your own unique, weird point of view. To not need others’ approval.

A karmic habit of taking on daily work that makes you feel like a servant - filling a family role in which you are the sweet girl who makes everyone feel good- may feel safe, but it is also limiting.

Proving your worth to yourself

You’re healing your sense of yourself as a valid, and valuable individual. You have work to do. Some of that work involves family or other things that are close to your heart. Some of it involves making yourself available to the cosmic emptiness. Leading your life looks like creating structures that give you space for flow, for spiritual connection with your unique desires. As you get older, you may look increasingly unusual. That’s your authentic integrity coming through. Peeling off the layers of tradition, responsibility, commitment, limitation, austerity that don’t really fit you is one of the ways you claim your true work.

Quest for beauty

Seek peace that arises when you’re creatively engaged. Break up routines, when you can. Travel with friends. You may have a million good ideas a day. Choose one of them and make it into something. The effort is to go from being lost in the fragments and details, to being found in pursuit of something Whole.  Connecting the pieces to explore life’s big questions, to create beauty. This might include turning bits into a whole art piece, or turning an idea into a narrative. 

Navigating Self and partnership

There’s a lot of softness and loveliness in your chart. There’s a hint of having been a sheltered youngster with a lively mind that skipped and jumped with dizzy versatility. Maturation is part of the program for you. Not to lose your lightness, but recognize that you’ll face choices where there aren’t easy answers. Other people may have lots of advice, but tuning into your own internal spiritual guidance system, which will serve as a backbone for you, is the path to making the decisions you need to make. One of the great challenges in your chart is the tension between loving others deeply and needing to choose your own path.

Inspiration's Wellspring

Some of your best ideas come from the well of feeling, dreams, intuitive nudges. After the idea, make it into something tangible. Bringing inspirations into tangible form, creating sacred structures. These are steps to discovering your authentic integrity. 

The house of money and the house of death

You’ll spend a lot of time crossing this threshold. Going into the underworld to face buried fears - do you have shadow work to do around the ideas of anger, passion, creativity, being seen, potency. There’s the danger of doing something well, garnering praise, and then feeling locked into the demand to repeat that performance, over and over and over. There’s the shadow work around settling down to apply your knowledge to a task. The mind can generate millions of ideas - how do you apply them? Working with the archetypes of the craftsman and the performer can be psychologically freeing. Like Odysseus, you go into the underworld, get answers and then return to the daylight realm to check those answers against the light of day, against your own revolutionary intuition. 

Long-term vision

The more psychological work you do the more your long-term goals take shape and then the tribe who can support those goals will emerge. This requires the work that none of us love very much, looking into the dark corners of our own psyche. Seeing the shadows in the larger community, too. One great practice is to catch yourself - if possible:) - whenever you’re compartmentalizing, explaining away, rationalizing, denying or repressing. You’re emotionally intuitive, so you may be quicker than many of us when it comes to actually feeling what you're feeling. You also have artistic gifts in the house of pleasure and creativity. These are significant resources for you when you need to return to equilibrium. They also call for the immediate gratification of short-term pleasure seeking. Your integrity and austerity can help you avoid losing yourself in escapist recreation. 

Who do you want to be in 10 years?

You are a healer, and people will want to draw on your compassion. You’re also learning to not be manipulated by others' needs. Who do you want to be? How do you want to lead your life? As you answer these questions, you’ll find you radiate a healer’s intuitive warmth just by being yourself.  One way to keep yourself on your unique path is to ask yourself occasionally, “Who do I want to be in 10 years?” That kind of long-range thinking - different from your karmic habit - can guide your footsteps, tell you what resources you need to feel a deep sense of your own dignity.
