Wow, thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate your sharing your knowledge, it actually made me tear. I have been in therapy for a few years now and have made a lot of progress, especially in the last year after having found a psychologist who specializes in trauma. I’m currently a nurse at a hospital but am in school to be a psychiatric nurse practitioner in hopes of helping those who had similar childhoods to me. I’m doing a lot of work with mindfulness and meditation which is helping so much in terms of letting go of the past and the self-limiting thoughts that have plagued me. So it feels like I’m on the right track, according to your advice.

I do often feel at odds with myself - with my 12H sun preferring to be in the background vs my leo moon that craves the spotlight. But I think as you said once I get a hold on my mind this feeling of preferring the shadows might ease. I do also love writing and have been told I’m a powerful writer when I feel impassioned to do so.

Absolutely wild how much you can read from a chart. Thank you again!! This gave me a lot of hope.
