Thanks Amoroso and everyone.
My sister is coming by to take me to the movies---late birthday present (Prada!) but I wanted to say yes Amoros that's right I did misread that 5th house. Well Mars ruling my fifth house says it all, that ever forceful expression.
The business did evolve from making healing creams when our diabetic son was diagnosed with ecxzema (now gone) and as a respite/hobby after my mom unexpectedly died.
I am concerned about splitting myself in small bits....

Hey Blue...commercial break from the World Cup...my those Italians are gorgeous!! RE-your last thought of splitting yourself in small bits. That is a valid concern and easily solved by prioritizing. Break up your ideas into sections. Sections of time blocks. (Ex. Write for one hour a day for three months. Review your progress at that time and decide to continue or take a break!). Beginning with one hour a day is not overwhelming for starters. Just that...one hour. Baby steps. Writing is something you know how to do....start the book anywhere you wish....fill in chapters as they come to you. This will allow you time for your lotions and potions business (very cool I might add!!) during the day, family time for the rest or simply quiet time to heal. Letting go of fears and choosing a familiar direction like writing might seem less daunting a task than choosing higher education at this time. Simple idea---For possible higher education thoughts, why not send away for the material and information? Call and ask for the curriculum or requirements and financial aid info (hey, why not?). It takes less than 5 mins to make the call and you will feel like you have sent out a feeler at least! Read through the material when you receive them and then tuck it away in a folder for later perusal! No big deal. This is simply a small step you take in order to search for answers. Try not to feel overwhelmed Blue.....take a deep breath, enjoy the NOW and get excited about the future you will create! New ideas....new paths to jog down....new opportunities along the way!! Remember, you can always change your mind about ANYTHING along the way.....nothing is definite and Life simply asks us to make the EFFORT. Somehow, the rest seems to come to us in mysterious ways!! Find your center.....meditate, drink your warm tea....listen to soothing music and breathe deeply. Letting everything and nothing move around you.....and just relax. All will be well.... Hugs- GemStar

Plus, more and more people get their degrees online these days, and now financial aid is finally available for online degrees as well. Something you might want to explore.

Thanks Gemstar for the tips. It is funny I am always doing at least three things at once. I have to make certain that they all aren't time consuming, intense and lacking in income generating power. Being a Gem, I keep those lists, allover the house (laugh ). I am writing a little every day this summer as I did last summer (90 pages last summer). I have contacted one of the top teaching hospitals here for info on their programs and have already begun to receive pamphlets and applications. And Mercury Retro is certainly making me revisit my constantly evolving tortuous plans. Thanks WH. I finished paying off all my undergraduate and graduate loans several years ago but am facing private high school for the kids anfd their college costs. So I am being gingerly and cautious with family finances. We are very frugal. We don't really do vacations and I am a good cook and we rarely eat out. We have one car and I walk everywhere. I am not a traditional consumer, thank God. I think it was Juliet and now I am not certain and would have to look back to page one who said the hroary touches on all three areas and doesn't really answer which way to go. I agree with that. I think it nicely telegraphs my interests and areas of "expertise". But oh my heart is conflicted. We shall see. Amoroso, I have finally downloaded and read all your great insight. I think it's amusing that the 2nd house "talent" is empty and 8th is bursting... You said: "Venus in the 7th house shows ease and love of communicating one to one, but I also think it is about justice, harmony and balance of those one to ones. Venus is also applying to an opposition with Pluto retro in the first. Whew-ee. I think this is about how to find balance though the onslaught of the situations which you have experienced (both health and Mr. Eros) which ultimately heal and are transforming. In your case, it is heal or blow up. There is no in between here." This is critical and is what is going on with me. I am always somewhat pulled back when I see Pluto in House 1 especially when contemplating that the Moon is to be read as House one as well. I am not certain if I can read Doc in this chart, but I feel that relationship is up for reevaluation (mercury retrograde again). It is as though it must radically change and I with it or I must excise it in some fashion. You said: Your ruler, Jupiter, in the 11th house shows you are interested in forward-thinking that benefits humanity and like-minded groups, perhaps support groups, trine Uranus in the 3rd house of communications is very strong as J implied, because it is Uranus trine its own house, and Uranus just happens to rule your third house. Writing it is! And I imagine it will be unconventional and maybe shake up the status quo (the medical community?) Your 9th house ruler (publications, higher education) is in 8th house cancer, trine that Uranus. This perhaps is most uncanny because the writing has not only brought to the forefront my sense that there is no true patient advocacy but my move away from formal organized Catholicism (house 9 is religion?). My journey away from is more like it. "This chart shows alot about Mars but I have to stop now." Yes that Mars is odd because look at how it is tied up with venus and uranus etc.... Thanks kindly!
