I'm trying to understand why I seem to face a stumbling block when it comes to uni and wonder if there's anything in my chart that would explain this?

Perhaps we have similar aspects in out chart?

I'm a bit of a novice at reading charts, so I'll just keep at bay until someone more experienced answers.

I have the placements I just mentioned and I don't enjoy university either.

Aries Mercury in 6th house may be more into their choice of work instead of work they didn't choose to do. I assume the papers and the research drain you, because it's not work you enjoy doing and you write a lot of papers when in university. Aries Mercury prefers to "do" something with their information, but they can get impatient with papers. Papers slow down the thought process for an Aries Mercury and this can cause frustration. I think Aries prefer work they're passionate about, not boring papers.

Slow-paced Taurus hates to be rushed and by nature university is face-paced. You end up with things like 3 papers due in the same week and 2 finals to study for by next Monday. It can be quite draining to a Taurus that just wants to spend time doing a good job instead of having to meet deadlines that don't allow a slower pace.

Yup, it's pretty spot on. I had a feeling it might have to do with my mercury in Aries placement. Writing and research work definitely drains me since I already hate it lol. I get impatient and bored when it comes to that and my mind just doesn't want to deal with it. I used to think I might have some form of attention disorder. This is not a good placement to have for someone who has to go through uni.

Its true I hate being rushed, then my stubbornness (taurus influence) kicks in making me feel frustrated. Thanks for going over my chart, you explained how my placements affected me pretty well.

I can do tarot, so if you have a question, just let me know.

From personal experience, I inject my own opinions on the issue rather than just report on it. That way I can basically explain to myself how stupid this action is from an economic perspective, and from other perspectives. Basically I find solace in poking holes through the course matter.

As for the cards-
vii of wands- first you need to resolve to do it. That means that you create a deadline for yourself which you must follow by hook or by crook.
v of swords- direct yourself into seeing things from different perspectives. Don't do what everyone else is doing. Think about the material before even starting a paper.
queen of swords- You're smart- so put in your personal wit in some of your essays.

Your passions may be focused on 'higher principles' rather than simple mundane things, and this could make uni very boring and draining to you.

I'm not sure, but I am guessing you may be more of a hands on person..? Maybe rather than researching and writing about something, you want to be out there doing those things first hand..

Also.. Jupiter is opposite Saturn.. Now, this has a certain significance, because it kind of ties in with the rest of that energy, considering Jupiter rules the 9th house. Now, of course your personal 9th house ruler is in Pisces, in the 5th house. (being the Moon)

This further strengthens a bit of what I said earlier..

The 5th house is about pleasure and creativity.. Having your Midheaven ruler there, you may gravitate to doing things where you are 'Creating' rather than analyzing.. Now, in Pisces, this may become a bit cloudy to you. You may want to do something creative, and you may have the drive for it, but yet you may not be sure where to put this energy..

Hmmm.. There are some other things I think came to mind too, but these are the main things I am able to put down at this point..

Thank you for the reading! I'm a business major and most of the time Im not interested in the topic of the paper I'm supposed to write. They require lots of boring research and facts but I guess I should make room for more of my opinions on the topic too. And the seven of wands card you pulled really resonates, I need to pick up the slack and start putting in a lot more resolve.

@ReadingTheStars95

Oh wow you're really talented, you basically described me to a T! Definitely one of the most accurate chart reading I've had so far.

I really do want work that is quick and invigorating. You're right that I'm more of a hands on person, sometimes I wonder if I should have chosen a different course where it would encourage more activity rather than researches.
