My Mercury is in Libra in the 3rd house, and it's opposite Aries in the 9th house. My 9th house is empty. Although I can be very independent, I prefer learning in person. I like being able to bounce ideas off other people. I definitely don't think of myself as any of the Aries characteristics. I don't embody much fire energy. I'm not courageous. My thinking is very subjective. My Mercury and my sun are both in Libra.

@Louisa Munson At the root, I'm always interested in healthy ways to transcend the denser energies of this earthly life. So, through art, philosophy, and dabbling in esoteric pursuits. I'm always interested in ways to flow with life, and astrology is one path. Although, with astrology, I hold things loosely. I believe each of us has potential for absolutely everything within us. So, as far as "figuring myself out" through astrology, that's not going to happen. But I'm still curious and still open to experimenting with it!

My Venus is in Scorpio in the 4th house. I have a stellium in my 4th house--- my moon, Venus and Neptune are all in Scorpio.

@Louisa Munson Big and gorgeous and all-encompassing, eh?

@Louisa Munson I find some peelers difficult too, and I'm right handed. To be honest, I use a paring knife to peel my potatoes. I use a peeler only on the smaller veggies, like carrots.

@Cindy VonSutphen We may have proclivities based on planetary forces, but we're also self-sovereign and free beings. I love your commitment to keeping true to yourself in relationships, Cindy! Yassss!

@Carmen Noseworthy my Mars is in Cancer in the 12th house. This completely tracks.

My MC or midheaven is in Aries. I have no idea what the significance of this is. I have no planets in Aries.

And my midheaven looks to be right on the cusp between the 9th and 10th houses.
