Jupiter exalted in the 10th. Gem on MC - talk talk talk. Mercury in detriment in Sag but sag is a law-friendly sign. House of exploration - 8th, ruler (venus) in 5th - entertaining and thus maybe a good barrister. Sun in Sag - law friendly and it is the ruler of 12th, so maybe you can tap into the secret, sublime, hidden. Mars/pluto in 3rd - an ability to explore with communication - good with examinations in court, put pressure on witness, deep examination. Moon in libra - again libra is a law friend sign. NN in 6th - a career maybe which makes a different and heralds community work, ruler or 6th (uranus) means you are able to bring something very personal to this job and chiron in 11th - healing provided maybe by old wounds (victims).

I spent a year in law school and discovered it wasn't right for me, and I've identified some things in my chart that show it as not being for me. So I looked in your chart for those things and didn't find them. So all clear!

I found some things that said it's a good choice. There were a lot of Virgos and Libras in my class (more than chance). So your Virgo Asc and Libra Moon jumped out at me.

I think the IC-MC axis is very important in terms of our life path. I think of it as the axis of integrity. We won't feel like we're being ourselves out in the world unless we're able to express our IC self in MC ways.

You have your chart ruler, Mercury, conjunct your Sag IC. Your Sag IC tells me you're philosophical and like to see the big picture. But that's not where you like it to end because of your Gem MC. Your MC wants to apply the universal (Sag) to the particular (Gem). I think this is very favorable for law, since it's all about learning precedent and applying that to the particular case. Starting big (the rules) and then applying those rules in a way that benefits your side. Having Mercury conjunct your IC focuses your Sag energy on cerebral things, rather than the other ways Sag energy can be expressed. (Your Sun may express Sag in other ways, but your IC at least is more focused on mental pursuits.)

Mars and Pluto in the 3rd is excellent for law, I think. To me it says you have some major endurance and discipline academically, and you'll need that because, ask anyone in law school, there will be times when the content will bore you out of your mind and the workload will make that boredom last for hours and hours, so endurance and discipline are extremely valuable traits for law.

There's a lot that's tricky for me to interpret in your chart(s). It seems to me that your Moon (emotions) are pushing for the legal career. In your natal, it's the only planet in Libra, the scales. In your MC persona chart it's the only planet in the 7th, Libra's house, and it's in Leo, the showman. Aside from Libra I'd look for Capricorn to point towards that career (Capricorn, because Libra rules Capricorn's 10th house of career). You have a stellium in Capricorn in both charts, the majority of which are in water houses (4th in the natal, and 12th in the persona).

Moon (emotion) in Libra, and Capricorn emphasis on water (emotion) tells me that if you do get involved in law it should be in a way that seeks to nurture the client. I would think you'd have to be of the "helpful" variety of lawyer, and probably not swim with the "shark" types too much.

Thank you, your interpretation sounds very favorable. I want to big make changes in my life, and having a goal for a career makes me feel much better. I probably will pursue law and see how it works out.

I started to attempt to explain them, but this link can do a much better job of it:
