Dave,
I'm so glad I found this site! And I gotta say...it's really big of you to help people like this. I can see how valuable your information would be to them.
Ok, well, here's my deal.
For the past year and a half, I can definitely say that I've been having a long visit from saturn. (but don't know for sure). Lots of extreme UPS, and lots of extreme DOWNS....emotionally. Overall, a huge period of growth. Intense period for me. For the past few months, I've had more consistent downs. I don't think I have much of a sense of self. Basically, I'm a happy person, but it's just been so much that....well, many times I've stomped my foot on the ground and told myself that I WON"T take this anymore...I HAVE TO do something about my situation. I'm in school right now, and i've been pondering the idea of maybe skipping a quarter...go abroad or maybe get a job....just somewhere that I can focus more on myself instead of school and its pressures, and to CHANGE MY ENVIRONMENT. I'm also well aware that it's pointless to change your physical address if you think that'll get rid of your problem, because it won't....but I tend to do stuff like that...my ascendent is Saggy!
When will my emotional state (therefore my approach to life) finally change?
Should I maybe take a quarter off next year (this year's almost over) and get a job or something? As it is, I can hardly do homework or even pay attention in class. I'm always "up in the air." This is probably because of my dominant fire signs. I have sun in Leo, Moon in Aries, and my ascendent in Sagittarius. Crazy? I know...
Do I have a hard time coming down to earth? YES. (i'm laughing now but it's not always funny).
When will I gain a stronger sense of self?
Also, I'm at the time where I'm deciding my major. I'm thinking of double majoring in Business and communications. Any thought on this? Or any other possible fields?

Here's my info:

Your help is already greatly appreciated.
Much thanks,

Dave,
I just read a few of your posts about your dad. Hope you're doing well. I enjoyed reading the obituary. your dad seemed like the kind of person I would have as a role model. It seems he lived his life to the fullest. Very giving in his community. I'm sure you were all very proud of him.
Regards,
lioness

Lioness,

Thanks for your kind words. I will get back to you.

Dave

Lioness,

Thanks for your patience and your email - I will address the issues that you raised in the email here as well.

The computer programs automatically put in the data in the right place, and if it was done by hand, then especially since if the chart said Columbus MI, then there is a chance it was done wrong - I have an ascendant of 6 Capricorn 33 (I used 5:05 PM CDT) - that should tell you. You mention that it is Sag - it sure looks like it was Columbus MI that was used...

As for your comments on easy and hard charts, all I can say is that one, yes, we do choose our charts (or it is done for us by the higher powers), and two, one has to remember that we bring into a lifetime the sum of the experiences of our prior lifetimes - and the karma that is associated with it. Sometimes, with people that are fairly along on the Path, simply because that person is needed on the Earth plane to do some important work at a given time, the chart may not entirely correctly reflect the karma - but was chosen simply to get the major planets into the correct alignment for the assignment...

Yes, I know it is hard to believe, but...

Now, for your question. The only thing that is really going on in your chart is that for the time period you are talking about is that Neptune has been trining your Saturn Jupiter conjunction (which is almost exact), and has ben inconjunct your Mars - which is what I suspect is the problem. And it by next January will be done and over - right now Neptune is at 6 Aquarius, but is moving backwards through the zodiac so that it will affect you again.

Both Saturn and Jupiter will oppose your Uranus in the months coming, and that will bring up some freedom /limits issues for you, especially with work related things.

I hope this clears up your chart question - I wish there was something more obvious, but there is not.

Dave

Dave,
can you please explain this information you gave me?
the only thing I kind of understand is the Aquarius part...maybe that I'm distancing myself emotionally from people?
Thanks!

What is going on is that Mars is energy, and Neptune dreams/illusions, and the aspect that is going on is confusing you and draining your physical energy.

"Both Saturn and Jupiter will oppose your Uranus in the months coming, and that will bring up some freedom /limits issues for you, especially with work related things".

Saturn is limits, Jupiter growth, and Uranus freedom - the opposition will with work related issues some freedom/limit issues that when you resolve them will bring growth to you.

I hope that makes it clearer...
