That's interesting about the shared directional challenges Dumuzi. Trying to think if we share any strong chart patterns? Off the top of my head, I remember that you have strong Venus and Libra--and that somewhat applies to this self as well. (Libra Moon, Venus in 7th in wide opposition aspect to the ASC degree). Other than you also having fairly highlighted Pluto (definitely stronger than mine, though I would say mine is moderately highlighted), I don't remember the rest of your chart.

I read an article some years back that people with strong psychic/intuitive perception tend to have directional challenges, but have no clue if that is more objectively and broadly accurate.

Would you say that you're more psychic or intuitive than the average? I definitely am, but one case does not data equal.

P.S., though I'm not strongly visual, I use to draw a lot as a child and pretty well. But only rarely from memory or imagination, most often looking at something. All in all, I'm more feeling and hearing oriented.

chart my chart for comparisons

i generally rely on intuition yeah, never heard that before though that's interesting

also tend to have dreams and feelings that are accurate too

i've never been good at drawing so i never really bothered with it even though i appreciate visual art

is your visual imagination totally blank? because i can only experience visuals in certsin meditative states or while dreaming but i can't intentionally visualize

I wasn't always good at drawing from memory, but the exception for me was cartoon characters, When I was a teenager, I started to draw cartoon characters in marker pen, rather than pencil. Count Duckula and Igor, were my favourites to draw.

That used to be like a meditation for me. I can't just sit and meditate, and sometimes even have trouble following a relaxation CD without squirming. I haven't drawn for years, and I've been thinking a lot about it lately - but I also used to take a walk, and take pictures, as another kind of active meditation. Just me and my camera, no dogs or other people.

I learn through in depth research and almost hyper sensitivity to details on subjects that call to me. I collect information until I feel like I have the fullest picture possible, analyzing every detail and possibility full circle. I look at and store things symbolically and then have the ability (sometimes curse?) of seeing how the information symbolically correlates to everything else. Everything is connected.

Fire signs seem to learn best through stimuli. Fire with strong earth would learn through hands on stimuli, fire with strong water through emotional stimuli/life experience, fire with air would be a child who learned easily watching a children's educational show with a lot going on entertainment-wise but who was too bored to learn during a mundane lecture at school. We are all different combinations of elements so it depends on combo and amount of ingredients in each person's elemental recipe. Certain ingredients will blend with that Mercury recipe to create different end products.

I so agree with Fire Mercury with strong water. This even when i don't have fire mercury.

My mercury is in Cap but in the 9th house cusp of Sag. I need emotional resonance with the subject matter to learn it effectively.

This could also be because my Moon in Cancer in 3rd house is opposite my Mercury?

In the Draconic chart I have Merc in Scorpio on the cusp of the Libra house. I think this explains it better.

As a child in first grade it was reported that I was 'a daydreamer' and much TOO chatty with my fellow pupils (for which the nuns in elementary school would punish me).

If I felt the teacher liked me, I was a wide-open receiver. In a classroom where the teacher has a sour dislikeable demeanor, I felt kind of cut-off and in a kind of despair. When I had a nun who HATED me, targeted and picked on me, I felt a sense of being 'a deer caught in the headlights' frozen with blank-mind-fear the whole year through.

I did better in a public-school setting, for my 7th Grade. I excelled as a student. My reading-levels and comprehension shot up to equivalent of master's-level college degree understanding.

I had what was called 'eidetic' memory recall.
I could 'read' the screenshot of study-pages in my imagination.
Tell you the paragraph, page, the answer was located on.
That ability faded as I entered my 20s.

But I've always been a very visual person.
Graphs, flow-charts, diagrams make things soooo clear to me. Without it, I feel in a fog. I remember better when I have some kind of visual to tie it to.

Not only that. ..
Audio and aesthetics also played a big factor.

Yes, shiny objects!!

My Imagination played a HUGE role.. still does.
When I'd listen to something the teacher said, I'd "see the movie" of it playing out in my vivid technicolor inner-eye.

Again, use of some kind of Graphics would imprint the knowledge.

Something I could 'touch' .. like paper, and hands-on learning.

Once, I had a job where we were changing things over to Mac Computers (earlier 1980s). They hired a company that provided a 'mentor' for each employee.

I'm a voracious learner.
The man sat with me, and began explaining things. I'd have hands on keyboard.
Then I would start guessing-ahead what these programs did. He'd let me go far ahead, giving tips, until I reached a wall. Then he'd teach more, until I 'got' that, and raced ahead.
He said he that in the 20 years he had mentored people, that he had never seen someone absorb the material as FAST as I did. Told me I was way ahead of anyone else, and that the materials he taught me were advanced. Said it gave him pleasure to be my mentor.

*Humor*
Sometimes, I think of the way a baby needs to put spit and slobber all over whatever it sees and touches, in order to declare it 'real'.

If I can't put my eye- and- Imagination-spit and virtual-hands around it, then, it may not 'stick' to my memory. If I can't 'see' it in my Imagination, its like RAM memory that gets dumped at the end of a computer session.

That was a problem for me in math classes.
I could monkey and work the algebraic equations correctly all day-- But then, I had a hard time carrying that over to the next lesson, week to week. It really couldn't 'exist' because it didn't make a 'meaning' nor sense-meaning to me. (sense = 'logical' or touch-sensory}.

When I could 'see' the advantage of learning in a way that could be applied to science (with the math), and how that touched my life, I was more apt to 'trust' it-- to trust that the results are real because they were 'usable'. LOL

I did MUCH better in Geometry classes, because it was more graphic.

With students in THIS modern age, having all kinds of 'visuals' and 3-d type generated graphics by computers??? Well... the inner-student learner in me just wants to bawl her eyes out!! … Like, "it's too wonderful" to Behold. Soooooooo Lucky!! Young people are sooo lucky. Their toys and learning are sensory-rich and gorgeous.

When I was learning the fundamental of astrology on my own, I arranged objects, and strings, and weights, and lampshades, and light-projections all around my room. I would take objects into my hands, and stretch-out the Oppositions, and meet-together the conjunctions, and watch the flirting between sextiles, using my hands, my body, my Imagination. Colors. Colored pencils, Symbols, colorful planet pics, bottle-caps I'd draw symbols on .. and push-around on posters. Astrology was a SENSE-Experience. Charts, came Alive in my Imagination.

I've gotta cut this post short right now.
Have to get ready to go out.

Oh. One more thing. MUSIC....
If MUSIC is a Part of the Learning,
my Imagination and Learning is soooo engaged.

If I can 'feel' it inside, it's with me forever.

Music are like Cat Whiskers!!! Can sense so much through the Inner Music I pick up.
Makes my Soul feel 'real'. Soul-spit!!! LOL

And!!!!!
I think People are just soooo FASCINATING.
Walking Books waiting to be Discovered and chapters and pages open and read. The Beauty of each person, their life journey--- soooo special. They've seen, they've experienced things that I have not.

If I could hug every person I'd meet wherever I go, I'd DO that-- and I'd mean EVERY mingling moment of it.
So Happy to meet you-- To make acquaintance this lifetime.

haha, Aries Eagle.. Telepathy? Osmosis?
Absolutely! It's real.

You definitely have a lot of intuitive signatures in your chart, as well as strong focus on Yin/Feminine energies (though pretty balanced between both the Yang and Yin). These are both something we have in common.

It's mostly blank, most of the time. Once in a great while during meditation I'll get a visual, or even more rarely a waking/conscious dream, but these out of the norm. I've been consciously working a bit on trying to visualize more, but it's slow going.

I know you were asking Dumuzi, but I used to be very intuitive. I still can be, but it isn't as strong as when I was younger.

That is so fitting for someone who has Scorp Uranus in 1st with Scorp Rising to draw Count Duckula and Igor as a teen.

There is something very special about still and very deep meditation. Gladys Davis, Edgar Cayce's secretary and Twin Soul also apparently had some issues with more still meditation, but in the readings she requested, the guidance encouraged her to continue with it, and indicating similar to what I said above about very deep and still meditation.

With that said, if you get the chance, try out some Hemi-Sync audio sometime. I particularly like Higher for the less expensive option, and Opening to Love for the set/more expensive. But I'm sure there are many other good ones.

Edit to add-I most often meditate lying down as it's more comfortable for me. Allows me to go within very deeply and for long periods at a time. Meditating for 45 minutes or even longer is no biggy, as I often go into a sort of 'no time' like state.

I think I tried Hemi-sync, twenty years ago. It had two different things going on in the separate earphones. Is that what you're talking about?

I used to be able to relax more. To zone out, just daydream - I just can't manage that often, not anymore. I'm thinking about buying a watercolour book tonight, to see if it helps.

I have a friend who has been talking about her meditation experiences. Things usually come to me as I'm doing other things, though - when my mind is focused on something else.

This creates two simultaneous effects when the tones are in the right range individually and in their difference.

Facilitates a more actively whole brain state, and also resonates the brain to a specific awareness/consciousness state that corresponds to different brain wave states like gamma, alpha, theta, delta.

I have a strange type of photographic memory. Strange in that I can't study something too soon or too long before I need to retrieve the information.

I think I had it timed to about 30 minutes, when I was in college.. I never studied until right before the test.

I am a fast learner and I have photographic memory, sometimes seeing once it's enough. I am also autonomous.
