That's a really good question, and something I've wondered all my life as well. Finding positive avenues & connections in my Chart has been the greatest challenge. I like to think of it as "connecting the dots". Or even a "steam duct". So - OK - you notice a lot of contradictory energies in your Chart, but you may find some amazing grace in there as well.

hot_ice reiterated what I've said so many times, that I think a Gemini with a Cancer Moon is one of the most diffcult mix of energies to juggle. I'm a Libra with Cancer Moon, so I'm not quite so far off, especially since I also have other strong Mercurial vs. Water influences as well. I mean, get electrocuted in Water?

But I TRY to make sense of it by imagining my Chart as if it were a Tai Chi master. Perhaps there are avenues in which you can feel your energy flow a little easier. And once you find those connections, you can recognize them.

shop22much, with your Chart I see some forceful energies which you may be releasing "before it's time". Does that make sense?

I think a more stable Saturn in a Chart can really make the difference, as long as it doesn't make too many harsh Aspects. Mine is in Capricorn, so at times I appear to be getting through everything just fine. And sometimes, the appearance is actually fact.

I am a Libra, as if they are not lazy and indecisive enough, then add ....

Virgo/ascending

Of course I don't get the good traits such as being organized, hard-working and neat (I'm a huge slob)...I get the fun ones like perfectionism, being hypercritical of myself and others, being so introspective that its paralyzing, and shyness (I'm supposed to be a libra for crying out loud!)

Don't get me wrong,, once you get to know me you will see I'm a totally different person, my self-consciousness just gets in the way. My moon sign is…

Leo

...and we all know that they aren't shy! This must be where I get my stubborness/hard-headiness from (which I'm working on!). My "big 3" are all different elements and my "love" signs are all screwy too.

Venus/Scorpio
Mars/Leo

…which usually lead to heartbreak and pain (venus/scorps know what I'm talking about). To men, it first appears like I’m this confident, headstrong, no-nonsense type of woman (which a part of me is!), then further in the relationship the deep emotions and insecurities start pouring out. It must be shocking to the guy since most of the time I act like such a “cool customer” then all of a sudden I just can’t hold it in anymore. Like I said before, in a different thread, I am much more confident when single, it feels “natural” to me. (odd for a libra). As for my other planets/signs…

Jupiter/Virgo
Saturn/Virgo
N.Node/Virgo
(all in the 12th house)

Go away Virgo! This just adds to more confusion and inner battles to deal with IMO. Apparently I racked up some bad karma in my past life ::shrug:: I have all of this going on inside my head but if you met me in person you would NEVER know...I never show my vulnerable side, that’s a huge no-no for me (except on random astrology message boards...that is ).
