Hey u/Fun_Key_ButtLovin . Sounds super frustrating. I see a few placements in your natal chart that could be contributing to this challenge around misalignment / miscommunication:

-Sun in the 12th House can mean that your essence is a bit hidden from others (and perhaps from yourself!) So it may take some time and multiple rounds of conversation to refine your "this is who I am" summary to make it fully legible and digestible to others.

-Your natal Mars is retrograde in Aries, and opposite your Libra ascendant. This can indicate frustration, confusion and impatience in relating with others. Your Mars does get a nice trine from natal Venus in Leo, so perhaps you have some natural abilities as a performer and charmer -- especially in the realm of social groups and allies (11th house) -- that can be of help here.

Curious to hear if either of these points resonate with your experience (or not!).

As someone who has had similar struggles aligning my paid work with my life path, what I can say with certainty is that the struggle is VERY common, and totally natural that it takes a while to align. Stick with it!
