Therese,

From the western astrology side, I read somewhere and have seen from my

client's charts and my own chart, that a sun in the 5th house is an indicator of

a person viewing work as a way of creative self-expression, therefore making

work seem more fun than someone with the sun in the 6th house of work. Folks

I've seen with 6th house sun tend to be totally " enslaved " by work. Even though

they spend a great deal of time with work, work can make them sick or feel

over-burdened, instead of giving them pleasure like folks with the 5th house

sun.

 

Hope this helps a litte with your reseach...

Felicia, this is quite a big responsibility. I've never worked with

There is some good information in Ernst Wilhelm's GRAHA SUTRAS on the

know, for example, before studying that book, that Mars has to do with the

that describe the various ways that planets act. Most interesting and helpful.

never really worked with health and disease.

Here's an insight I've had into 5th hs Suns: I call it the incicator of

the " vagabond " ; they tend to go from one thing to another, trying this and

that. It's what we might call " following your heart " . They rarely stick to

the same career through their entire adult life. They often move around

quite a bit. Maybe they do love their work, but they're not totally

dedicated to it. When Saturn is in the 5th, work is the hobby.

Felicia...

 

 

I finally feel ready to throw out a few observations about your chart: you

have 3 planets in Pisces in the natal chart, namely Mars, Sun, and Mercury.

In your navamsa, or 9th harmonic chart, you have the Moon in that sign.

PLUS, you have Neptune, the modern ruler of Pisces, on your asc. That's

quite a strong Neptunian influence. On top of that you have the other ruler

of Pisces, Jupiter, on your navamsa asc.

 

You're expansive, you'd like to take in the whole universe at once. You're

much more connected to the whole picture than to details. You're

impulsive...get an idea in your head about something you want to do,

someplace you want to go, some new venture, and you do it without stopping

to think about the pros and cons overly much. Other people might look on

and wonder if you're using common sense, but that's just not your style.

With a strongly angular Venus and navamsa Venus cnj your natal asc you're

probably attractive to other people and usually get them to go along with

you. You don't like barriers and limitations. That shows up again with

your Moon cnj Rahu...Rahu is that indicator of " muchness " . Since they're in

Gemini in the 9th, that muchness likely has to do with ecucation,

knowledge, deep understanding. You can change your mind or your mood or

your direction very suddenly. Your're unpredictable.

 

I see you as not being so much a teacher to other people as an inspiration.

You give the impression of being happy, and probably are. It's as though

you seem to have risen above the dreariness of the world.

Hi Bettina,

 

I remember that DeFouw (Light on Life) said that the 5th is not good for a

career since it's in poor aspect (6/8) to the 10th. So the 6th would seem

to fit Felicia better because she said she's always had to work. 6th

belongs to the 10th house trine of houses.

 

The 5th tends to 'not work,' but like you said, follows the heart. This

more or less applies to me. My ascendant lord is in the 5th, and although I

had to work when I was younger, I quit fairly early to follow my

heart--that is study, writing and research, some counseling in the

astrological area. I could never ask for money for readings, so there was

really no money in this. I was just able to concentrate on what I loved. My

support was from my generous husband. Whereas I consider astrology my

life-long career,the world wouldn't see it that way because I never wanted

to mix money with astrology. And astrology has no status (10th house).

 

Yogananda is another case of a Sun in 5th with whole sign houses, but in

the 6th with Hindu equal house. He worked very hard his entire life for his

organization and writing--preparing his teachings to go into print. He was

not a 5th house personality.

 

Therese

[Guest guest]

Hi Bettina,

 

From my tropical 5th house Sun perspective, I demand that work be meaningful,

and therefore " fun " . However, my Sun is sidereally in the 6th, and this could be

why I always " had to work " like Therese said.

 

The thing is, even though I always had to work, I was always able to work on

something that has sort of a discovery or new aspects, or I would invent a new

way of working with an old subject area.

 

But then again, I have the tendency to blur the line between home and work, so

that might be a 6th house symptom there.

 

Now I'm confused...:-)

Hi Bettina,

 

Thank you for an interesting analysis. I think you are very right about most

of it. Amazing!

 

Bettina wrote:

much more connected to the whole picture than to details.

 

Felicia:

Yes, I always look at the big picture first and hate details.

I'm often asked to write big plans to implement new initiatives at work.

However, I'm known to have a knack for defining the plan details, down to the

level of who will do what, but I don't want to be the one carrying out the

steps, though :-) just the oversight provider and guide.

Felicia:

True that I tend to be impulsive in wanting to jump into something new.

However, I'm not impulsive in the sense of engaging in risky behaviors. I am

adventurous in terms of new ventures, but often do a great deal of research and

equip myself with a detailed plan before embarking. But I'm defintely impulsive

when it comes to the emotion, like having an emotional outburst and then

regretting it. Is that in the chart, too?

 

 

Bettina wrote:

you.

 

Felicia:

That's interesting. It's true that people acknowledge that I tend to inspire

them to go along with me, however, I usually feel that I am the one to

accommodate and people often regard me as easy to get along with and low

maintenance. This is true both in personal life and at work. I do know how to

find my allies :-)

 

But I do have unusual relationships, though. For example, I am still very

close with my ex-mother and ex-sister in law even my ex and I don't really talk.

They actually stay with me when they come to California and always love to have

me visit them in Missouri.

 

My step dad often said that he loves me more than his own daughter because I

listen to him. I think it's just because I tend to not fuss over small stuffs

and let him have his domineering ways whereas his own daughter would have a

verbal fight with him.

 

Bettina wrote:

You don't like barriers and limitations.

 

Felicia: Yes! So true Bettina. I hate people who sets fixed limits and who say

" never " too many times. I believe in continual expansion.

 

Bettinia wrote:

your direction very suddenly. Your're unpredictable.

 

Felicia:

I do change my mind very often as I am flexible and not fixed in my ideas

(except for my values and principles). And yes, I can see myself as moody. I can

go from very high to very low moods very easily. However, I'm not sure if I'm

unpredictable. I'll have to think more about that...

 

Bettina wrote:

Felicia:

Hmmm... I love to share what I learn and I've been told that I am a great

teacher, although it is true that I get more comments on being inspirational.

I'm just very enthusiastic about my beliefs and what I do, so somehow that

becomes contagious and people just naturally want the same thing for themselves,

too. I never demand that people change, but they told me that I tend to

" influence " changes in them.

 

Bettina wrote;

Felicia;

Well Bettina, that is a gem of a compliment, since I strive to be happy by

finding simple joys in everyday situations. It's good that it shows some...:-)

 

I've just had two rough years where I ended a marriage, lost my home on the

hill, dealt with a bout of cancer and chest pain troubles, and faced the fear of

leaving my daughter an orphan.

But that was an incredible journey of growth where I learned to set myself

free from the ego's hold and discovered my more expansive self, the spiritual

self. Now, I feel joy every morning when I'm out running at the park, thinking

how fortunate I am to have a healthy body to run with, to have good eyes to see

the beauty of nature, to have good ears to hear the music of life. I feel joy in

sitting on the school bleacher watching my healthy daughter plays lacrosse (Yay!

I'm a " soccer mom " , finally!). I feel joy in having friends to share stimulating

thoughts and ones who remember to wish me happy birthday. I feel joy in being

entrusted with important work in my job and it pays for me and my daughter to

have a reasonably comfortable lifestyle. I feel joy in being a driver for my

daughter and her friends (even though they don't really want me to hang around)

so they can have their simple childhood fun. I feel joy in having a restful

sleep knowing that it would renew me for

another fulfuling day. I feel joy in being the conductor of love in my family

and being well loved and respected by my siblings whom I've helped raise. I feel

joy in giving a piece of myself in whatever I do. I feel joy in being able to be

a source of comfort for my friends and family who might be in need, and no

matter how small my contribution. I feel joy having peace in my heart. But most

of all, I feel joy in knowing that I am just a small specticle in this vast

universe and that I can learn to get up whenever I fall again.

 

Bettina,

 

Thank you for taking an interest in my chart.

I must say this is very much the tropical Aries in me getting satisfaction

from having others understand the real me. " I am therefore I am " -- that's what

they say about the ram.

 

Blessings,

Felicia

client's charts and my own chart, that a sun in the 5th house is an

indicator of a person viewing work as a way of creative self-expression,

therefore making work seem more fun than someone with the sun in the 6th

house of work. Folks I've seen with 6th house sun tend to be totally

" enslaved " by work. Even though they spend a great deal of time with work,

work can make them sick or feel over-burdened, instead of giving them

pleasure like folks with the 5th house sun.

 

Hope this helps a litte with your reseach...

Felicia

Felicia, this is quite a big responsibility. I've never worked with

evolutionary astrology, and am not quite sure what it is. It's been

discussed on some tropical forums. Career path options is a great way to go

if you have a system that works. In this respect, you'll find sidereal

rulerships more applicable than the tropical.

 

>(...) One thing that I find most lacking in the books I've read so far is

There is some good information in Ernst Wilhelm's GRAHA SUTRAS on the

planetary rulerships of the body's energy and health systems. I didn't

know, for example, before studying that book, that Mars has to do with the

nervous system because it's a 'hot' planet and related to the flow of

electricity throught the body. Wilhelm translates ancient Sanskrit terms

that describe the various ways that planets act. Most interesting and

helpful.

 

I have a shelf full of Jyotish texts on health and disease with titles like

" The Astrological Diagnosis of Diseases, " but have never really studied

these books. The Astrology Center of America has translated a few of the

older western medical texts. They're quite interesting, but again, I've

never really worked with health and disease.

>>I was told that eastern astrology has a better grasp of this subject. Am

I wrong? Well, this is what I am hoping to find out by venturing over to

eastern astrology.

 

This site began as a forum for western sidereal astrologers, but they seem

to be few and far between compared to newer students of Jyotish. Jyotish

seems to have struck a chord in the minds of western astrologers, perhaps

because some of the emphasis is similar to tropical astrology. Astrologers

always shy away from predicting death, though I've noticed that in solar

returns the 4th house generally comes into play, representing an 'ending.'

 

Whereas astrologers can chart the progress of illness with transits and

solar returns, becoming specific about health problems really belongs to

practicing health professionals. This is why it would be very helpful for

astrologers interested in this area to link up with someone in the health

field who is sympathetic to astrology. This should really be a joint

venture, and could be very productive.

 

I have a book in my library, CASENOTES OF A MEDICAL ASTROLOGER by Dr.

Margaret Millard, M.D., who was a personal friend of mine. She left us some

years ago, but her book is still here. I have to confess that I'd have to

read the book again to remember everything she wrote. It would be helpful

to re-draw the charts in the sidereal zodiac. If your interest is in

pinpointing health problems, you might want to find a copy of that

book--published in 1980 by Samuel Weiser. I haven't checked the internet to

see if it's available.

 

My own particular interest is in finding signatures for those who are happy

in their work, so that the patterns can be used to counsel parents to help

provide the best situtions for their children to prepare for work that

would make them happy.

 

So much to study and learn--so little time!!

Felica...

 

 

The last paragraph of your post (this one) sort of sums up how I picture

you. Very spiritual and expansive and positive. You're probably somewhat

of an idealist, too. I can almost see you as an inspirational speaker if

you ever decided to go that route.

 

Your strong Venus makes others feel at ease, like they can trust you not to

hurt them or criticize them. When you say " ...I usually feel that I'm the

one to accommodate and people ofter regard me as easy to get along with... "

that strikes me as very Venusian.

Hi Bettina,

 

Thank you for an interesting analysis. I think you are very right about most

of it. Amazing!

 

Bettina wrote:

You're expansive, you'd like to take in the whole universe at once. You're

much more connected to the whole picture than to details.

 

Felicia:

Yes, I always look at the big picture first and hate details.

I'm often asked to write big plans to implement new initiatives at work.

However, I'm known to have a knack for defining the plan details, down to

the level of who will do what, but I don't want to be the one carrying out

the steps, though :-) just the oversight provider and guide.

someplace you want to go, some new venture, and you do it without stopping

Felicia:

True that I tend to be impulsive in wanting to jump into something new.

However, I'm not impulsive in the sense of engaging in risky behaviors. I am

adventurous in terms of new ventures, but often do a great deal of research

and equip myself with a detailed plan before embarking. But I'm defintely

impulsive when it comes to the emotion, like having an emotional outburst

and then regretting it. Is that in the chart, too?

 

 

Bettina wrote:

Felicia:

That's interesting. It's true that people acknowledge that I tend to inspire

them to go along with me, however, I usually feel that I am the one to

accommodate and people often regard me as easy to get along with and low

maintenance. This is true both in personal life and at work. I do know how

to find my allies :-)

 

But I do have unusual relationships, though. For example, I am still very

close with my ex-mother and ex-sister in law even my ex and I don't really

talk. They actually stay with me when they come to California and always

love to have me visit them in Missouri.

 

My step dad often said that he loves me more than his own daughter because I

listen to him. I think it's just because I tend to not fuss over small

stuffs and let him have his domineering ways whereas his own daughter would

have a verbal fight with him.

 

Bettina wrote:

You don't like barriers and limitations.

 

Felicia: Yes! So true Bettina. I hate people who sets fixed limits and who

say " never " too many times. I believe in continual expansion.

 

Bettinia wrote:

I do change my mind very often as I am flexible and not fixed in my ideas

Hmmm... I love to share what I learn and I've been told that I am a great

teacher, although it is true that I get more comments on being

inspirational. I'm just very enthusiastic about my beliefs and what I do, so

somehow that becomes contagious and people just naturally want the same

thing for themselves, too. I never demand that people change, but they told

me that I tend to " influence " changes in them.

 

Bettina wrote;

Felicia;

Well Bettina, that is a gem of a compliment, since I strive to be happy by

finding simple joys in everyday situations. It's good that it shows

some...:-)

 

I've just had two rough years where I ended a marriage, lost my home on the

hill, dealt with a bout of cancer and chest pain troubles, and faced the

fear of leaving my daughter an orphan.

But that was an incredible journey of growth where I learned to set myself

free from the ego's hold and discovered my more expansive self, the

spiritual self. Now, I feel joy every morning when I'm out running at the

park, thinking how fortunate I am to have a healthy body to run with, to

have good eyes to see the beauty of nature, to have good ears to hear the

music of life. I feel joy in sitting on the school bleacher watching my

healthy daughter plays lacrosse (Yay! I'm a " soccer mom " , finally!). I feel

joy in having friends to share stimulating thoughts and ones who remember to

wish me happy birthday. I feel joy in being entrusted with important work in

my job and it pays for me and my daughter to have a reasonably comfortable

lifestyle. I feel joy in being a driver for my daughter and her friends

(even though they don't really want me to hang around) so they can have

their simple childhood fun. I feel joy in having a restful sleep knowing

that it would renew me for

another fulfuling day. I feel joy in being the conductor of love in my

family and being well loved and respected by my siblings whom I've helped

raise. I feel joy in giving a piece of myself in whatever I do. I feel joy

in being able to be a source of comfort for my friends and family who might

be in need, and no matter how small my contribution. I feel joy having peace

in my heart. But most of all, I feel joy in knowing that I am just a small

specticle in this vast universe and that I can learn to get up whenever I

fall again.

 

Bettina,

 

Thank you for taking an interest in my chart.

I must say this is very much the tropical Aries in me getting satisfaction

from having others understand the real me. " I am therefore I am " -- that's

what they say about the ram.

 

Blessings,

Felicia

In your navamsa, or 9th harmonic chart, you have the Moon in that sign.

PLUS, you have Neptune, the modern ruler of Pisces, on your asc. That's

[Guest guest]

Thank you , Bettina...

 

I'm still trying to figure out what my true calling is. I want to use my best

talent to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Is it being a

motivational speaker? An astrologer? Counselor?

 

I had my chart read by Noel Tyl at one point, and he told me that my true

calling is related to creativity and teaching combined. I'm not sure what that

is exactly. He also said that this coming year (2008) is the year when that is

going to manifest.

 

I'm kind of excited about that, but not sure what to expect.

 

Right now, I enjoy helping young girls find their potentials in one-on-one

astro-counseling meetings, which I find very rewarding. But I can only do this

part time, as I still need to keep a full time job to take care of my daughter

and myself.

 

I was also told that astrology is not my ultimate career, but it can be a

hobby sort of thing.

 

What do you think?

 

Do you have " astrologer " signatures in your chart?

 

Regards,

Felicia

book--published in 1980 by Samuel Weiser. I haven't checked the internet to

see if it's available.

 

My own particular interest is in finding signatures for those who are happy

in their work, so that the patterns can be used to counsel parents to help

provide the best situtions for their children to prepare for work that

would make them happy.

 

So much to study and learn--so little time!!
