amously tragic. A well-known tragedy. Known for your problems. Known for your deficiencies. Being a role model for people with similar problems. Being known as a healer. Getting awards and acknowledgments for helping others. External, professional development – but at what cost? Pushing yourself beyond healthy limits to achieve fame, status or recognition. Who do you need approval from? You will only ever be accepted in your flawed state, never “perfect.” Your flaws are public. Everyone can see what your issues are. You’ve got a reputation for your problems. People can see the pain you’re in. You seem troubled. Crying in public. Getting knocked around. Getting beat up by one of your parents. Toxic authority. Do I have a “kick me” sticker on my back? Kick ’em when they’re up, kick ’em when they’re down.
Career issues! There’s always something that could be better. Getting a reputation for having an unorthodox approach to business. Having an unorthodox career. Having a career in the healing arts. Your vocation is against convention. Your direction in outer life is against convention. You meet a lot of wounded people out in the world. You become known for having a holistic viewpoint. Using ALL of your skills to get ahead in life. Giving it EVERYTHING you’ve got. Putting your ALL into your chosen profession. You strive to be well-rounded. You master whatever it is you set out to achieve, and through the process of mastery you accumulate a range of skills. Sometimes you find that what you ultimately master isn’t what was “supposed” to mastered at all. You make huge strides in unusual niches within your industry. You discover gaps in the knowledge of your industry or profession. There are other awards. You create awards programs for people who have similar issues as you. Special Olympics. You become well-known for your deficiencies, which ironically, make you more popular.
When (Natalie) Wood was unable to cry on cue, her mother tore a butterfly to pieces in front of her to ensure she would sob for a scene. Welles later said that Wood was a born professional, “so good, she was terrifying.”
You have a serious knack for sniffing out who the most important people in the room are. You have an uncanny skill for knowing who’s who in your industry. You manage to seek out the right mentors at the right time. You know how to get noticed too. Sometimes it’s cringe-worthy how much you need respect from those you admire. You go to all the head honchos for a pat on the head. Who’s a good boy? You’re a good boy! You might try too hard to be somebody.
You’re more than a “good boy.” You’re a good man, a good woman, a good director, a good chef, a “good” at whatever you’re doing. You wish people would stop demeaning your successes in life. You’re good, buuut … You’re good for a … whatever it is who isn’t supposed to be doing what you’re doing. You’re good – for a woman. You’re good – for a man. You’re good – for someone your age. You’re good – for someone your color. We didn’t expect to see someone like you here. Whatever that means!
The level of wholeness you project in the outer world is a direct reflection of how well integrated you are on the inside as well. Your outer life is a reflection of how much work you’ve done on your own healing journey. Your vocation may be to lead a healing journey. Your professional path is a healing journey in itself. No matter what profession you pick, you will bring a healing element to it. You spend a lot of time correcting people’s misconceptions about who you are and what you do. People may not like the path to take to get to the top. You didn’t do it the right way!
No matter what you do, it’s not good enough. You will never make up for their lack of achievement. You will never measure up to their achievement. Perhaps you are always in the shadow of a great person, but emulating that great person makes you great after all. You have humility in the pursuit of your ambitions because you know that you will never master everything, there is always more to learn and there are always people who are better than you at some facet of what you do. It could be a parent who never gives you the respect you deserve. It could be that your parent already reached a high level of mastery in the field you want to go into. Forever in your parent’s shadow. Your chosen profession isn’t acceptable to your parents. Your career choice causes your parents to abandon you. You get no support in pursuit of your goals. You give so much to your career, there is no time for a family life.
Unconventional authority figures. Your unconventionality becomes your trademark. You are a role model for others who have the same problems and issues that you do. You can become more well-known for the traits that make you stand apart from others than for the traits that got you where you are. Everyone can see your pain point. Your pain is public. Trying to make it in the world hurts. Trying to get ahead hurts. Trying to get your due recognition can be a struggle. With positive aspects, you manage pull all of your selves together to create a powerful outer persona that can deal with almost anything your industry throws at you. You’re a maverick in your career.
You find all the loopholes to success, and slip through them. You create bridges between powerful people that propel you into the spotlight. You meld together different professions in a way no one has done before. You’re an AI therapist, you do micro-massage with insects foot patterns, you sing to your herbs, you read palms using Kirlian photography, you hypnotize cats to help their trauma. People are amazed by your healing powers. People are amazed by the way you mix together different disciplines to create a holistic outcome.
When you try to succeed, or be recognized for your achievements, you are confronted with that part of your life that hurts. Being in the public eye, getting noticed, has an ironic twist – that attention highlights what makes you different. Rather than feeling elevated, you can feel like specimen under a microscope in a science lab. Any fame you claim is partially based on your defects. What makes you stand apart is beyond your control and isn’t exactly your favorite thing. You accept yourself as you are, flaws and all, and carry on.
So I won’t say I’m lucky. I’m fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.

Eccentric and individualistic, Edward D. Wood Jr. was a man born to film. Lesser men, if forced to make movies under the conditions Wood faced, would have thrown up their hands in defeat.

Where is the top? The key to getting ahead is knowing the relevant authorities in your field. The key to making a name for yourself is having discipline. The key to achieving your goals is the ability to be professional. The key to making it in the world is showing up. Making an effort to reach out to known healers. Getting to know the greatest herbalists, acupuncturists, astrologers, massage therapists, and other healers living today. Hobnobbing with the masters of the healing arts. Feeling the inner drive to reach out to the greatest teachers. As you reach out, sometimes you shoot yourself in the foot. You may be the biggest threat to your own professional success.
You actively demonstrate alternative ways to succeed. You’re a genius at guerilla marketing. You have so many facets to your personality that you reach a wide range of people beyond your initial appeal to people who are like you. You create entirely new vocational niches. You create entirely new work paradigms. You create entirely new professional expectations. You redefine the word “professional.” You bring so many new elements to every venture you undertake that you are an inspiration to others. The masters of the age flock to you. The masters in your field recognize your genius. The masters in your field recognize your contributions. The people who matter notice you. You are a master in your field.

Chiron / Midheaven Aspects
1st harmonic, 1/1. This aspect comes from taking the 360 degrees of a circle and dividing by 1, then multiplying by 1. Like this, 360 / 1 = 360 x 1 = 360.
Intensity and emphasis; focus/focal point; impact. Lack of awareness. Concentration of energy. Fusion. Fusing disparate energies together.

1/12 harmonic. Take the 360 degrees of a circle, and divide by 12, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 12 = 30 x 1 = 30 . Or, 360 / 6 = 60 / 2 = 30 (half a sextile).
The natural next step; the next thing that needs to be done; how one thing naturally leads to another; what you should be preparing for next; where things are heading, whether you want them to go there or not. What all your hard work and preparation are for. The next big thing. Natural direction.
What you might be blind to. Something just over your shoulder, out of sight, and beyond the periphery of your vision. A blindspot. The thing that came immediately before, and is already nearly forgotten. Efforts at memory. Reclaiming. People who don’t have your best interests at heart. Better work on some yoga moves to look over your shoulder, and behind your back.
1/10 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 10, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 10 = 36 x 1 = 36.

Some of the posts may show the octile at 90°. This is a known error and I’m working on fixing it, but I have to edit each post individually, and that takes more time than I have right now!
1/7 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 7 = 51.26° x 1 = 51.26°.

Opportunities for positive change; awareness of a time to take positive advantage; opportunities that pass unnoticed without conscious effort. No, there may not be another chance. Learning to be quicker to act on good luck. Learning not to let good things pass you by. Learning that positive experiences require effort too. Positive doesn’t mean passive.
This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 10, then multiplying by 2. Like this, 360 / 10 = 36 x 2 = 72. This aspect is the same as a quintile.

Dynamic creative tension; inner stress and tension that build until you are forced to find creative solutions. Opportunities to push your limits to greater achievement; inner restlessness and lack of satisfaction that impel you to make changes and push yourself; you are challenged to combine these energies; applying energy to solve a problem; creative problem-solving. Internal stress and tension. Something needs to give.
2/7 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 2. Like this, 360 / 7 = 51.26° x 2 = 102° 51’26”.

Unstoppable, sweeping movement. Lack of self-discipline. Laziness and self-indulgence. Times that are easy, lacking challenge and opportunities for growth. Taking situations for granted.

Adjusting expectations; tempering over-enthusiasm and over-reaching; keeping yourself in check; adjusting to meet changing circumstances; doing what you need to do to make things work. Adjusting your attitude. Adjusting your perspective. Making-do in uncomfortable situations. Developing flexibility and adaptability. Bending, until you almost break. A see-saw, with too much weight on one side, and not enough on the other side.
The term “inconjunct” is often conflated with the word “quincunx” in astrology. All quincunxes are inconjuncts but not all inconjuncts are quincunxes. Some inconjuncts are semi-sextiles.
3/7 harmonic This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 3. Like this, 360 / 7 = 51.26° x 3 = 154° 17’ 08”.

This aspect does not make sense to me at the moment, but here’s the link.
I would think a quin-decile would take the 360 degrees of a circle, divide by 10, then multiply by 5. Like this 360 / 10 = 36 x 5 = 180. Which is exactly the same as an opposition, because it is a 5/10 harmonic, which reduces to 1/2 harmonic. 360 / 2 = 180 x 1 = 180.
2nd harmonic, 1/2. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 2, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 2 = 180 x 1 = 180.
Challenges from outside; awareness of other options; opportunities that require you to stretch outside your known boundaries; an opportunity to stand back and reflect; seeing yourself from a distance; putting yourself in someone else’s shoes; seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes. Gaining awareness. Seeing a situation from a new vantage point. Getting distance, and gaining perspective.
This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 4.
This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 5.
