I analysed the chart for the birth date..and got 16th May 1961.. redrew it using Placidus houses and that gives the Aries Midheaven.. also Gauquelin’s study of occupations.. found Mars and Saturn angular in military folk’s charts.. all the boxes are ticked.. no wonder you feel like you wer in the military yourself. Taurus likes to feel settled, so the Sun/Saturn trine gave your life some structure, but boy that restless wee Gemini Moon says you need mobility.. your chart describes your needs and your life seems to have fitted rather neatly into those needs too..or has Uranus started kicking up some uncomfortable stuff that’s made you need to in some way “justify” whay you never quite allow the cement to set around your lively feet? Just a thought : )

My sis and I were Air Force military brats until aged 12/13 respectively. She has early taurus rising with mars in late aries sitting on the ascendant and I have mars conjunct my sun.

She has scorp mercury in 7H and I have pluto and uranus in libra 7H.

We moved every three years and I have yet to give up that lifestyle..though I am not in the military. My husband works for the fed gov’t so we may move again in a few yrs.

My sis is much more stable…but has moved every few years in the same state…

Thanks Elsa, Lynne and Gem – I will have to look into that Gauquelin study. I appreciate you looking into this and posting this out there for me.

Yes Lynne, Uranus is indeed kicking up some uncomfortable stuff (it is squaring my moon at the moment by transit) – I want to settle down in one place – and it is looking like I may have to move again and I am extremely upset about it. I lost my job mid-October – and I am not dealing very well with being unemployed. I am getting phone calls from a recruiter in Miami Florida. I am just really worried – I don’t know how much longer I can move like this.- and I am feeling too tired to start over – again – but i have to work. I have to work. I have a contingent offer locally which I would be happy to take – but it is based on whether they win a contract – and there is no news yet. I could also go back to the one place I managed to stay for 7 whole years – Boston. I moved here 2 years ago from there and spent a lot of time regretting it but dealing with it- I am in Maryland/DC metro at the moment. About the time I was starting to be ok with it and liking it – I got laid off.

I was just wondering if Uranus and Pluto had anything to do with the military – but it looks like you are saying that it is Mars/Saturn/Aries and there is plenty of that in the family and chart. I never joined the military – and wanted to be a doctor when young (that virgo nn)- but I do understand the military – it is family and the last reason I am asking is it is a military family (mom civil servant 101st airborne, 1st cousin jag lawyer, dad ltcol and pilot – engineer since, his cousin married a marine who became a colonel, another cousin in the navy – it goes on)

So far – and still counting – Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma, California, Kentucky, Florida, Delware, South Carolina, Oak Ridge TN (nuclear reservation), Caracas Venezuela, Oak Ridge TN, Knoxville TN, Charlotte NC, Davidson NC, Charlotte NC (several places there), Oak Ridge TN, Memphis TN, Boston Ma, Charlestown Ma, Germantown Md

K..Mars/Saturn also features in Doctors’ charts in the Gauguelin study.. Aries good for surgeons..sorry you’ve been so unsettled.. sounds to me like maybe a proper consultation with the lovely Elsa might help?

Sag Neptune in the 4th house trine Leo Mars in the 12th. My dad was in the Navy.

k- my opinion is to include uranus along with mars/ saturn in the chart. the fields of music and war(the military) are the most dynamic and inventive throughout history-it seems logical that you would have to consider uranus… but i am not an astrologer. i have all angles-uranus on the mc (my father is a big ol mil.man), mars in aries on my ic (my mother is a baby with a crazy ass temper) and saturn on my dc- my husband is not a soldier (but every bone in his body screams soldier)

My whole life has been a military experience. My dad was in the Army and retired shortly after I got out of high school. I lived in 5 different states and Germany all before the age of 13. I’ve had to have attended 15+ schools. When I met my husband, he was just getting out of the Army after serving the 4 years he signed up for. He landed an awesome job on post still working with all military branches….but he travels more than my dad ever did. We live in the civilian town attached to the largest U.S. military installation in the world. I can’t escape it!! I don’t know but it seems that my Mars (military) is in Cancer (family) in the 9th house (travel) could have something to do with it??? Maybe?

Thanks Shell and Isthmus,
It helps just to talk and think about it. I tell men I date I am a Warrior Princess – and they say “Like Zena?” and then they snicker – because I guess she may live on both sides of the track. And I say “Noooo…..” sort of like Eowyn in “Return of the King” – her character actually makes a lot of sense to me as did that whole story.

I had a strong longing to be a doctor and I still think about it a lot. I took all the biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and psyched myself out of it. I am the only one in the family that had that interest or inclination. It is interesting to me that you are surrounded by doctors – maybe it is about facing things – or showing courage and strength when faced with difficult tasks. Need to think about this some more – but this has been very helpful to me. Thanks,
Kathryn

What strikes me first is the Mars in royal Leo conjunct the Asc although in the 12th opposite Jupiter..a warrior signature. And the fact that it’s in the 12th vs. the 1st would shown that it’s not been positive for the offspring. A teacher of mine studied charts of champion fighters (boxing) and found Mars in Leo the most frequent. Donna Cunningham

I meant to say also – I got to stay in the area.
