I found out that my Sunshine is in 8'32 Gemini Retrograde in 9th, and
that opposes my 4th/7th house ruler Jupiter in 8'17 Sagittarius in 3rd.
It also semisextiles my Hera(committed relationships,Greek counterpart
of Juno) in 7'59 Cancer(domestic) in 10th(career) and my Flora in 8'50
Taurus Retrograde in 9th house(long journeys)

Therefore, I have a boomerang....as in a yod with an
object(Sunshine) opposing it's apex(Jupiter in Sagittarius in 4th).
all aspects in the configuration are within 1 degree. Hera and
Sunshine are not only in a semisextile, they are also parallel with 26
minutes of arc.

with Flora being flower which is root wood for Florida, Flora seems
like it can pertain to Florida. With 4th/7th house ruler Jupiter
aspecting it,it seems like its connected to my domestic life and
relationships. Hera aspecting that adds to the case of
relationships. With Sunshine aspecting that,it adds to the case it
could relate Florida which is known as Sunshine State.

My Floris-Jan is in 28'15 Scorpio in 3rd house, and my Juno is in
26'26 Virgo,and so they sextile. That could be a Florida-committed
relationship connection. My Florya is in 29'23 Sagittarius in
4th(domestic environment,and that semisextiles Floris and wide square
to Juno. Florya also squares my Pluto in 0'51 Libra(relationships) in
1st with 1'29 orb.

My Florey is in 14'15 Sagittarius in 4th(domestic environment)
conjunct IC(domestic environment) in 11'14 Sagittarius,sextile Uranus
in Libra (relationships) in 2nd,and square Ascendant/Descendant
axis(self/relationship) in 13'27 Virgo/Pisces. The Florey
conjunction to the IC is strengthened by Florey-IC parallel with 49
minutes of arc.

I also have Peterburgtrista in 21'54 Sagittarius in 4th(domestic
environment) semisextile my 2nd/9th house ruler Venus in 21'47 Scorpio
in 3rd house. There is a St. Petersburg in Florida too.
Peterburgtrista seems to be an asteroid that pertains to St. Petersburg.

There are also interesting minor aspect configurations that you can't
see in the chart:

Mars in 6th (daily routine) quintiles Florey in 4th with 22 minutes of
arc and quintiles Flora with 56 minutes of arc.
I actually have a 5th harmonic triangle of Mars,Florey,and Flora.
It's very interesting that Florey in the house of domestic environment
and Flora in house of long journeys aspect each other and Mars in the
house of daily routine.

I have Moon in 6th quintile Peterburgtrista in 4th with 44 minutes of
arc which can indicate important woman in my daily routine could be
connected to domestic environment in regards to St. Petersburg.

I also checked the asteroids nodes to see if they add to the
theme...especially looking for patterns(asteroid aspecting its node,
asteroids,planets in aspect to more than one node, nodes pertaining to
Florida,St. Petersburg aspecting asteroid relating to them)

I checked both geocentric and heliocentric nodes and I only look at
the Ptolemaic Aspects,the quincunx,semisextile(12th harmonic aspects
correlating with waxing,waning aspects that correlate with the 12
signs of the zodiac) with 1 degree orb.

Geocentric Nodes are fast moving,and so they are personal........so I
checked the nodes pertaining to Florida and St. Petersburg, but also
the nodes of Mercury,Venus,and Mars because those are personal nodes
and the nodes of Juno,Hera in regards to committed relationships.
Heliocentric Nodes are very slow moving,and so they are
collective........I only checked the ones pertaining to Florida and
St. Petersburg. The orbs are within 1 degree except for conjunction
which I gave 1 1/2 degree.

Other notes: I have never been to Florida. I have never even been
anywhere down south even though my biological father was born and
raised in Louisiana. I was born and lived in California all my life.
so the strong Sagittarius,9th house influences that show in the
aforementioned configurations indicate a strong possibility that I
would make my home faraway from my birthplace which could be another
state - one that is on the opposite coast of the US. Maybe it will be
in St. Petersburg,Florida. With Juno,Hera,and 7th house involved
could be related to committed relationships.

I also have interesting transits reflecting my discovery today. they
are all within 1 degree orb.

Transiting Pluto in 28'50 Sagittarius Retrograde in my 4th
Natal Florya in 29'23 Sagittarius in my 4th

Transiting Saturn in 7'57 Virgo in my 12th

in 11'14 Gemini)
Natal Hera in 7'59 Cancer in 10th
Flora in 8'50 Taurus Retrograde in 9th(Flora is right on the cusp of
the 9th in Placidus house system)
(Saturn in T-square transit to my Jupiter-Sunshine opposition)

Transiting Uranus in 22'08 Pisces Retrograde in my 7th

I am not going to get involved with any activism any more. I would focus a lot on learning disabilities/neurodivergence and psychiatric misdiagnoses. A lot of that had to do with my Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,ADD psychiatrically misdiagnosed as schizoaffective bipolar disorder because of my speech irregularities. I used those experiences to motivate me as an activist that focused a lot on injustices. The mistreatment of people really incensed me. There was seem to be a fine line between me being an activist and being angry (my Moon in Pisces conjunct Mars in Aquarius in 6th....I guess)in my life,but I couldn't see it. I came off like I had a chip on my shoulder and that rubbed some people the wrong way. All that bothered my girlfriend too. I don't blame her. I let my passionate ideals interfere with our relationship. It was like that I didn't put her first which I wanted to do,but I didn't understand the affect activism had on our relationship. The presidential race really got me fired up too much,and I feel that it affected our relationship.

the changes that I have decided to make are no more activism. I want to be an advocate of sorts.

the advocacy organizations that I am going to remain a member of are

1. Learning Disability Association
2. National Organization for Women
3. Childhelp
4. American Diabetes Association
5. Disabled American Veterans

I am going to stop being a member of the other learning disabilitity/neurodivergence organizations as there is too much focus on that area. I am also going to stop being a member of MindFreedom International because it's a mental health human rights organization. It has a lot to do with activism and focusing a lot on injustices

I cannot focus on any mental health human rights,psychiatry stuff. It is so complicated that it can be easy to become too focused on injustices. It's better to just focus on myself and my loved ones.

The only advocacy stuff that I am going to be doing is just donating to the advocacy organizations and signing petitions that pertain to them. I will also donate to cancer causes.

The people that I love is far more important than activism. It's about time that I show that. I love my girlriend,and I want to put her first. I am getting rid of activism for myself. I want to be happy. Focusing on activism,social justice matters isn't making me happy. My passionate idealism makes me blind to my unhappiness. I can't do it any more. I am doing it for my girlfriend too.

The upcoming lunar eclipse happens to conjunct my Mars in Aquarius in 6th......that fits with activism bigtime. So it even adds more to the activism thing.

My Venus squares Mars in Aquarius, and that indicates that I can be torn between the ones that I love and activism. Well....that has to change. I wish that I changed all this crap a lot sooner. Ah well...better late than never.

I just realized all this today. It's a big decision as I thought that maybe activism was my life purpose. Now,I don't think so. I am not doing it at the expense of my relationship any more.

My North Node is in Aquarius in 5th trine Midheaven with 44 minutes of arc. I thought it might be activism. Especially with Uranus trine Midheaven with 4'04 orb. Maybe it's Astrology. My Chiron sextiles North Node with 3 minutes of arc and Midheaven with 42 minutes of arc. I guess I could focus on the healing arts...especially when I am already trained in massage therapy. I guess I could do both Astrology and Massage Therapy.

any ways...I was checking out political astrology forum on yahoo, and the first post that I saw a post was an opinion piece about McCain in regards to Florida due to some drilling issue.
Right after that,I pulled a card out of my tarot deck.
I pulled out the Sun!

Then I did a chart with the asteroids pertaining to Florida for the moment I pulled out the Sun tarot card.

Sunshine is in 15'34 Gemini in 3rd sextile Mercury in 16'03 Leo and Floris-Jan in 15'45 Leo in 6th
Florey is in 23'37 Virgo conjunct the Descendant in 24'01 Virgo and oppose Uranus in 22'08 Pisces Retrograde in 12th

I couldn't help noticing that Peterburgtrista is in 18'03 Cancer in my
11th trine my chart ruler Mercury in 18'21 Scorpio in 3rd too!

You are now going to fulfill your NN in your 5th (loved one's) and take away the emphasis on your SN in the 11th (of groups). It's perfect.
