I don't get too into predictions so I won't say "such and such would be a good career for you". What I would say is that either society will see you as "Scorpio-ish" because of your career and renown OR you will gain renown and career and status through "Scorpio-ish" ways.

Now to put it all together, there will be much action and a strong impulse to succeed in your career (let's forget about the Scorpio thing for now).

BUT...

Venus, the planet of physical beauty, harmony, grace and femininity is exerting it's qualities in the area of life ruled by the 7th house, (marriage, partnerships and relationships.) Again this is in Cancer so somehow one partner will play "mother" or "protector" (but let's ignore this for right now).

NOW, the inner planets are interpreted as being affected/influenced by the outer planets. This is all relative and in this case Mars squared Venus means that Mars influences Venus because Mars is further out past Sun (distance).

That means...

Planets = qualities.

Houses = areas of life.

Planets in houses = qualities manifesting in those areas of life.

I do look at the signs that all of that stuff is happening in to a certain degree but I see it as much less important (especially in the learning process) than house number, planet and aspects between planets.

I can't access your birth chart. Please post your chart information in the format:
Month Day, Year of birth
City County/Province State/Country
Time of birth: ##:## AM/PM

AND if you want an "all forest" approach to astrology, see: http://www.geocities.com/wilsontctc

There IS a stellium in the 7th house. Merc, Venus and Sun are BLENDED together. Have you memorized the qualitites associated with each planet and house?

Specifically, the challenge in relationships may come from career and not the other way around.

Honestly though, you don't need astrology to tell you that, right? If you become more aware of that through astrology that is great though... what will you do to balance this problem?

Thanks for posting your birth information! And now for the forest I promised!

Since you have more planets on the top of your chart than at the bottom you focus more on the outer world than on your inner world

Since you have more planets on the right side of the chart than on the left you focus on others more than on yourself

Since you have the most planets in the top right of your chart you focus most on "Achievement", meaning you take what you know about others to help them out in the outside world

You have the strongest focus of energy (4 planets) on the seventh house (relationships), you are STRONGLY focused on relationships

And, while there is no ONE focal point in charts, charts frequently show strong patterns:
- focus on 7th house (relationships)
- Venus focused in the house it rules (relationships)
- Easy Opposition focused on 7th house stellium
- Boomerang focused on Libra (relationships) modifying South Node

So, as you mentioned, there is a LOT of relationships energy in your life! (Which you already know! )

However, since Libra modifies your South node, Aries (being, also action) modifies your North node (future goals), so you need to take some action for yourself in order to fully develop yourself in your life.

Now, if we take a look at your chart configuration, it is a locomotive chart. According to Tracy Marks of Art of Chart Interpretation:
Locomotive pattern - "All planets fall within 240 degrees (or a maximum of 250 degrees) with no more than two houses or 60 degrees empty within the occupied area, and with a trine bridging the unoccupied area...energetic, self-driving, determined individual who single-mindedly focuses upon achieving...[their] purpose, which is generally indicated by the midpoint of the empty trine...(the first [planet] to have crossed the ascendant, moving clockwise) is the engine; its sign and house position indicates the energy which fuels...[their] drive to incorporate the midpoint of the empty trine into...[their] life."

The midpoint of the empty trine is the 5th house (self-expression), and the first planet to have crossed the Ascendant is Neptune (spirituality, also confusion). So you use some type of spiritual connection in order to develop your self-expression. The challenge of this is that it can lead to a confused self-expression. This confusion is increased with Neptune conjunct your (energy is combined with) your Midheaven (outer world)

An offset to this confusion is a T-square focused on Capricorn (duty, also career) modifying Ascendant (self). So your CAREER is a saving focus from the self-confusion issues.

Taking a look at your transits, you have transiting (planets in the sky) Uranus (friends, also restructuring) opposing (energy is over-excited by) some of your personal planets (personal energy), so this is a time of personal restructuring. Transiting Uranus is ALSO focused in the first house (being, also action), further emphasizing the need to take action. Since Mars rules Aries, we look to Mars in your chart and see you have Scorpio (transformation, also power) modifying Mars, so you need to take POWERFUL action in your life.

In terms of transits, you also have transiting Saturn (duty, also career, structure) moving through your 7th house, so this is also a time of structuring your relationships, perhaps in terms of your career.

And you have transiting Pluto square (energy needs to be combined with) your birth Pluto, so it is time of facing power issues around you and using them to build and develop your own power.

So, in other words, this is a time for YOU to take action. Get the opinions of others about what to do, but then take control of the situation and take the necessary actions! It is an opportunity to do things for YOURSELF (with a little help from others ). After all, this is a life goal, so it only makes sense to work a little on it now!

Charting,

Astrology aspects - Venus quincunx Saturn

The inconjunct between Venus and Saturn indicates that you feel burdened by excessive responsibilities. You feel that other people always want you to do something for them, and you resent it. Actually, you overreact, assuming they want more from you than they do. It would be unfair to criticize them for this. You really want everyone to approve of you, so you try to buy approval by offering yourself.

You must carefully evaluate your priorities for yourself and for others. Your greatest problem is that you don't like yourself enough, so you feel that you really deserve to be used by others. If you think about it, all you owe anybody else is tolerance and respect. You owe yourself much more than this - for instance, to be free from intimidation, to know your own worth, and to be burdened only by matters that serve your interests. When you have achieved some satisfaction of your own needs, it will be time enough to do it for others.

If you improve your opinion of yourself, you can accomplish many things in your career. The same intensity you directed towards others can be used to develop your natural talents. You have enormous potential for success. You are serious and responsible about doing your work well; in fact, you probably work harder than your co-workers or competitors. There are many fields in which you could find satisfaction and reasonable success, including public relations, interior design, horticulture, real estate, and sales. You are sufficiently flexible to fit into many categories of occupational interests.

Your love interests may be burdensome unless you stand firm and refuse to let your lover consider you as anything less than an equal. You should be suspicious if you are constantly kept waiting, or if your partner always strays over to others at a gathering, leaving you alone. These are signs that interest is waning or that you are considered an object that can be put aside when something more interesting comes along.

If you occasionally find yourself alone, try not to grow depressed and conclude that no-one wants you. Use the opportunity to learn new skills or develop those you already have. You have every chance of being greatly admired if you will simply mobilize your efforts toward specific goals. Depression is your worst enemy, for it interferes with good digestion and assimilation

This is the only aspect Saturn makes in my chart. Of course this is with venus which ain't pretty either.
I have come to the conclusion that with both these panets retrograde and in their fall in my natal..making this aspect is a key to unlocking the door....I seem to have this great Karmic dept to pay.
I have let many people make me feel bad about myself....Shelved and Resentful

You were right when you said that this is a life goal... I know the nodes have a great deal to do with the "how to" .. to learn from where you've been to achieve the power and direction in moving forward..

You have Aries (being, also action) modifying North node (future goals) conjunct (energy is combined with) Moon (home, also emotions) focused in the 3rd house (thinking, also details, talking, writing). This seems to indicate that you need to collect all the details and then take action when it "feels right". Since the nodes have an Easy Opposition focused on the 7th house (relationships), it is important to take everyone's opinions into account before you take action. But, once you decide to take action, YOU must take the action (Aries energy always focuses on the personal over the relational). If you do NOT take the action, you get stuck in the Libra (relationships) South node (the past) and end up questioning and questioning those around you without any result being taken.

So...when you decide you have enough information to decide what you feel you want to do...do it!
