Does my chart hit any of you guys as being "tricky"? I talked to an astrologer yesterday, and she just looked at me with a "poor you" kind of attitude, based on my chart. I've already checked all the aspects, but i'm not skilled enough to "get the big picture", and i would really appreciate if anyone of you could tell me what she might have meant by that.
Please be honest, I can handle it (or at least I think so)

If I get time I'll have a look at that but at first glance it doesn't look that bad ~ I didn't breath in or wince or anything. There is a fair amount of testing aspects in red but if you look closely the aspects on some of them are quite wide and some astrologers would not count them. Even if they did it doesn't mean a lifetime of gloom and misery.

No, I don't see anything "tricky" about your chart, really. There are some challenges, sure, but nothing I would characterize (esepcially to the chart owner) as difficult.

My first impression: You've got a pile-up of planets in the 4th, which means a lot of emphasis will be on 4th house stuff for you in this life cycle (home, interiority, sense of self). Could indicate some imbalances between that part of your life and other parts of your life, but other than that—I think Astralmuse summed it up quite nicely.

Unfortunately you met an astrologer who has no clue about how to give an astrological consultation or reading. If she thinks your chart is "tricky" then her skills SUCK!!!

There is absolutely nothing tricky about your chart whatsoever. You have just turned 18 and for someone to give you the impression that there may be something wrong with you because of your chart is just plain abusive and not coming from a place of healing at all. Always remember:

There is no one on this earth who knows you better than yourself. NO ONE!

Please take that in.

When some one looks at your chart, they are supposed to have a discussion with you, the chart doesn't define who you are, the chart suggests energies that you use, the symbols guide the astrologer after discussing your life experiences and seeing how you have used those energies through life and it will show the astrologer how you may project those energies in the present time and into the future.

Also, I am 41 years old and I wouldn't be able to handle it if some one was going to tell me something awful about my chart. As a matter of fact, I still do my best today not to show many people my chart, because I don't trust every person to interpret in a healing manner. I have also had astrologers look at my chart and tell me dismal things. It leaves me shaken up and frightened about life instead of teaching me how to work with the energies that might now always feel good and to remind me that they are tools that can work for me instead of damning me to hell in a hand basket.

Everyone's chart has difficult aspects. I've seen many charts that traditional astrology would say are wonderful, lucky, beautiful, and that the person lives a charmed life, but when you really know how to read a chart you can see that the person has lived anything BUT a charmed life.

So the lesson is, be careful who you trust in terms of your healing and a very wise man named "Little Stevie Wonder" once said:

"If you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer. Superstition ain't the way."

My question for you is, did you go to this astrologer with particular questions in mind? It looks like you may be graduating from high school if you are in the U.S. or if you are in Denmark, you may be having some kind of educational milestone, trying to figure out your future. I really don't know, I'm only going by your age, not your chart.

What was you purpose in soliciting that astrologer?

The astrologer i was talking about, is not one i personally seeked out, it was a friends mom, who asked for my birthdata, and she didn't even know i was into astrology myself. So when she gave me the "bad news", i just replied that i didn't believe in astrology anyway. Maybe that was a bit cowardly done, but i don't think she has the right to know, after telling me that.

And to Geocosmic Valentine, YES i am at a very important time in my life right now. I am moving away from my mother for the first time in my life, more than 300 miles away from my family, and i am very nervous. So i have considered seeking out an astrologer, just for som insight about this, but after what the experience this lady gave me, i'm not so sure anymore.

The Pluto transits coming up in the next few years might not be what you would want in your 40s but for a young woman setting out in the world they sound just right.

I'm sure you will be fine, and your mother too. Nothing is impeding Mercury that I can see, so keep in touch and that will help things. I have a good friend I haven't seen for several years (long distance apart) but it doesn't seem like that with text messages and email giving instant communication.
