Life path, happiness, miscontentedness... (Read 136 times)

Pondering HeartEx MemberLife path, happiness, miscontentedness...
« on: 09.11.2007 at 17:10 [UT] »Dear everyone,
how, how, how is one supposed to get on the right track...
What I want to get a grip of here is ... how can you know what is one's major life lesson, what are the mostimportant themes to be played out.. what is most important at this particular point in time...
I feel like I'm stuck because theoretically I think I do know quite much about astrology but I very much find it
hard to see main focuses! All these myriad of points and aspects and interpretatin methods make me so
restless and kind of frustrated..
How do the rest of you feel, what's your attitude in this matter? ... I know I can find millions of topics here on
this forum that already touch upon this, but here's an attempt to look at this "Summa Summarum".

Embraces!

If you're looking for an area to focus on and work on at a specific time of life, then I think transiting Saturn will
give you a good idea of what needs to be achieved. Saturn through the houses will highlight specific areas ofreal life that need to be worked on in a mature, responsible manner.
If you're talking about just finding your life path in general, then I think you can study your North Node for aclue.

Yes, I definitely can understand that!! It's so typical of me - I'm sometimes lousy at expressing myself
clearly and come through as very vague.
I guess, perhaps it IS the "life path"-thing that I'm after. But, hm, except for the North Node - which I
sometimes find represents something which vaguely colours ALL your yearnings but is kind of hard to FEEL
(now I'm un-clear again..) - what to look for? The Sun is it to be seen as the core of one's being, something towhich every other point in the chart should be related...? But why, then, is the ruler of the ASCENDANT named
the "chart ruler"... how important is the ascendant? Sometimes I get the impression it's merely like what Jungcalled the persona..?
Judyanne, you also talk about Saturn, and I wanted to just ignore that planet right now but came to think
about the fact that it's actually transitting my natal Mars right now... couldn't Mars be described as the chart
DOER... is that a clue to my frustrated feelings in regard to living your chart potentials - is Mars kind of like thekey to DOING one's chart? Oh my, I hope someone will understand what I'm trying to say..
Please do ask again, I feel I need help to understand MYSELF what I'm really after here.

science. The great thing about this is the rules are made to be broken
From what you say you know thebasic foundations?? This is important .......so perhaps now it is time for you to develop your own particularapproach: one that is creative and innovative and experiential . So experiment without getting overwhelmedby technical knowhow. Technical points are a guide ( and at times brilliantly enlightening with regard to interp)
but they are not law.

btw the differing house systems frustrate me but i now appreciate them for their adaptablity to the unique
journey of the indivdual

Well yes, I think that's part of my concern.
Actually, what I was after when I started the topic was getting aided in finding life purposes in charts, andfinding in what ways life purposes are activated by transits and progressions. I understand also that it is closely
related to wanting to be aided to see MY life purpose in my own chart and what is most important for me rightnow.
Vivisha, your comment was very important to me - because I think you got (and Achernar too by talking about
not just "thinking about" - doing) me understanding that it's possibly time for me to start making something ofwhat I've been studying for quite many years now... Also Judyanne's post made me realize that Saturn must be
wanting me to act...
(Saturn, by the way, is conjuncting my Mars which is in VIRGO in 3rd so I guess it's typical that I kind of crave
perfection in these things.. while I otherwise am more of an intuitive, dreamy person...)I have for so many years wished to find a vocation which in some way was about helping and healing people more in a councelling way than in a practical... but I have no idea how and where to start...

Move and dance with the music you may hear (or not): find out what you like by trying out different things. Bet
yourself you can achieve a goal by a such and such time.
Play with the universe and let it show you yourself in every depth, in every nook and cranny of your soul. Reada book you find telling; paint a portrait of the deity.

What I often come back to is that I am so horrendously cautious.... it sometimes feels as if I'm selling my soul,keeping on doing what I do... it's not that I hate my job, it's in many ways stimulating, but it's not a vocation,and it's something that takes all the time from my deeper yearnings...
I'm 31, so I've lived my Saturn return... it wasn't too bad. Perhaps since I'm kind of saturnian to begin with having Moon in Capricorn and Sat conj ASC in 1st house (I like it NOT)..
So what points in the chart, by natal, transits, progressions, do you folks think I should pay attention to..?
These days I'm crying and crying for the state of our world... it seems we do so many meaningless things, werepress ourselves, act like consumers and nothing else, destroy our environment - I feel really depressed aboutit.
I would love it if anyone could ... try to lead me on from hereBlessings
