I have Aries Asc and Also Cap MC at 0 degree's. I havent been feeling anger..

My dughter has the same Asc and MC but at 8 degree's. She is anger all the time and impatient.

I was the same way when I was in my teen years (but again who wasnt) That Aries asc is really something that you have to learn to control, which comes with time..
I sure did give my mom one hell of a time...

I had the attitude, you cant tell me what to do, and I would go charging and with full on steam. No one or nothing could stand in my way, from what I wanted or what I wanted to do.. I did what ever I felt like.

My daughter is the same way, she charges at me demanding things... I put her straight letting her know its not acceptable.. Yeah battles ensue... LOL

I have noticed though, that the grand cross CAN help to balance things out. It does one of two things: it either acts as a cap for the emotions (for people who are unaware of their own motivations) and eventually that emotional tension has to explode out somewhere, OR the individual (who is more self-aware) can learn how to work with the energy and combine the energies into positive actions.

This young woman's chart looks like she has endured a tremendous amount of torture throughout her life at the hands of both of her parents. My opinion is that she's lucky to have her anger. Anger is our first line of self-defense and it's incredibly important.

The Grand Square of Moon-Jupiter-Mars-Uranus is the first suggestion of her tremendous rage-a-holism. Then the fact that her tremendously stressed Mars rules her ASC suggests that she is identified by her anger, this is what she shows to the world.

At first glance I look at her MC and wonder about her father. It looks like she had to deal with insanity, control, possibly substance abuse and abusive anger/violence.

I don't want to assume too much without feedback from you, but if she has been exhibiting angry behavior, it might not be that she's bi-polar, it might just be that she's finally expressing the anger at everything she's had to deal with all her life.

One thing that may need to be investigated is the strong possibility of sexual abuse beginning at a very early age with her. Natal Mars semi-squares natal Pluto. Natal Pluto rules her 8th House of Sexuality.

I'm sure she definitely needs help, I'm just not sure it should be coming from her mother, she probably needs to get help on her own. She probably needs to get away from her family of origin and begin a life-long healing process.

Please respond and let me know if any of this rings true.

It's not clear to me what you mean when you wrote that Ash manipulated the doctor into thinking the SHE was the one who needed help.

In that sentence who does SHE represent? The mother or the doctor?

I'm assuming that SHE is the mother. In that instance I think the doctor was correct. It happens quite frequently that when children need psychological help, it's never only the child. The parents always figure prominently in the child's scenario and most parents (people in general) don't believe that they need any help. Well...it's a sad fact that it usually is the parents who need the help.

Ash will be 21 in September and she was probably a teenager when he mother tried to get her some help "once". Well, it's probably time again, especially since transiting Saturn, Uranus and Pluto are all stronly relating to Ash's chart in a huge way. This is HUGE!! I pray she gets the compassionate help she desperately needs.

When I met this family, Ash was around 10 or 11 years old. Her father was just released on probation and they just got a house down the street. His sister lives 2 doors down from me, so I heard about his substance abuse.. drinking, drugs, also the physical abuse towards his wife. And how the wife would leave him and would always go back to him.
When I met Ash's father, he was clean and wanted to settle down. But with his sister living down the street, and wife n kids who loved drama, there was a feud that went on for years.
Whenever he tried to set limits for his kids, and tried to discipline them, the Mother would raise all kinds of hell.. she felt he was being too strict and unreasonable. So what ended up happening is the children ran the household. They went home whenever they wanted to go home, they'd go to school whenever they felt like going. And when her son would get into criminal trouble, she bails him out. And if anybody went to her house to complain about her son going into their garage, she would tell them to get off her property or she would call the police. If you had problems with her kids, you quickly learned not to go to the Mother, she didn't want to hear it. The father wasn't allowed to have any authority over them.. not only because of the Mother, but the kids would threaten him with his parole which is something they learned from the Mother, I think. She probably did the same thing to him. He gave up.
The Mother and 3 of their younger kids moved out.. but they were older by then, Ash was about 15 and she's the baby of the family. The Father stayed down the street, he couldn't stand the drama and stress. Him and his wife actually got along better when they didn't live together.
His brother moved on the block.. he was someone you had to keep away from your little girls. The brother went on a nut, wanting to kill Ash's brother. Ash's Mother was flipping out.. she has a tendency to over-dramatize everything, but she was on mark with this one. One of her daughters was yelling at her n threatened to push her off the porch if she didn't shut up, her uncle wasn't going to do anything. My Ma called n told her to get over here, that someone was shot. I drove her here n she found out it was her husband, and by his own brother. They tried to keep Ash's father alive, but his injuries were too severe.
All the kids have their issues with their Mother, but Ashley goes beyond just anger. Ashley has stabbed her Father, cut one of her sisters, stabbed her boyfriend and he ended up in the hospital with serious injuries. She has called the police on herself, and had them come n take her out of her Mother's house coz she was to the point she was either going to kill her Mom or herself. And with her, the trigger isn't always known. She can be talking n laughing with her Mother and the next moment she's telling her Mom to pleeeease shut up, I'm aggravated, pleease leave me alone. N of course this sets off her Mother so they end up going back n forth, n you can see the Mother is a bit annoyed and is just arguing just to be arguing, but Ash is quickly getting to the point where she wants to physically hurt her Mother. She'll leave the room, n her Mother will still go on and on.
But I have to admit, Ash's Mother has had me to the point where I wanted to knock some sense into her once. My daughter stupidly had a baby with Ash's brother, so Ash's Mother is the paternal grandmother... and that has caused some friction early on. Connie threatened to get her son to take custody of my grandbaby.. that just incited my scorpio moon which ended that so-called conversation real quick. It takes a lot to incite my emotions like that, but she was talking to the wrong person.

All that you have explained here is not a surprise when I look at this chart. The violence, drama and brutality are all reflected in the chart.

Keeping the focus on Ash I want to remind you that with astrology: Planets do nothing, people do.

Ash will have to decide for herself what kind of life she wants to live and she is old enough to go out on her own.

What I find fascinating is that you begin her story with her father being let off on probation. You never say whether her father was in prison and what he was imprisoned for. I don't really want to know, but when a story begins that way and then you take all blame off of the father and heap it on the mother and children, something needs to be re-thought. But even that's getting too detailed.
