I think that my Sun and that retro action, of Mercury, plus the placement of all of them opposite my Scorpio Asc, puts a whole different spin on most of those interpretations.... at least, in my case.

I have Mercury conjunct Venus in Libra in the 6th house which is Virgo-I always thought it was Libra because most of the house falls in it looking at my chart but I recently checked it out and I don't have a Libra house, it goes from Virgo to Scorpio. I don't have an Aries house either. And both my 3rd and 4th house are Cancer. My 9th and 10th are Capricorn. I don't know how that works but anyway, I digress.

I use Equal House system (where each cusp is same as Ascendant) and am a modern astrologer. Lots of newcomers come into Astrology/forums and get a free chart from astro and the default ‘house system’ used is Placidus and think that’s just the norm and all there is……..BUT that is just the tip of the iceberg. You can change the default on astro.com in Extended Chart selection to Equal house and a few others if you wish to experiment…..

Within the mainstream are placidus/equal houses (the default on astro is placidus) only difference being some planets may move from one house to another thereby altering it's interpretation and it's 'only' with research will you find which /planets 'fit you' in which houses. So my advice, do two charts, research any planets that move houses and see which you identity with - simple

M-V conjunction in Gemini in 5th house. I like to create something beautiful using my hands, whether thats in music (guitar/keyboard/sticks) or poetry (writing). These are hobbies. I think it gives some sort of symmetry in our appearance. But other aspects can come into play as well. I am high strung too but that may be because I drink alot of caffeine.

I'm very sensitive, not sociable, not good at public speaking, but at least I have a beautiful handwriting. I never attack first, but I have to fight back all the time, because otherwise others won't understand me.

In school, matheatics weren't my strong point. My strong point is languages. I speak 4 languages fluently.

Literature ? I like, but not those heavy boring books.

Music ? Yes, Oui, Si !!! From Lady Gaga to classical music.

Painting ? I adore Italian Rennaisance and French painters.
