Have you figured out what things you need in life to be happy? List them from most important to least (but still obviously important)..I am wondering if our #1 is connected to our Sun sign. Do the other things connect to your birth chart somehow?Mine.. 1. A fulfilling, active, social JOB. (I am a Capricorn sun) 2. A close network of friends & family. (I think this applies to most people) 3. The money and time to travel abroad and actually doing it.(Sag moon/mercury) 4. Keeping an attractive appearance. (Venus in the 1st) 5. An "escape" & alone time..whether it's losing myself in a crowd of strangers at the club, going on long drives out in the countryside, substances (NOT in excess), etc. (Mars in Pisces in the 5th) 6. Being outside (Sag moon, maybe?) 7. A creative outlet - music, art, dancing. (Mars in Pisces in the 5th, again) List yours, I'm interested! IP: Logged |

Love (all forms. most importantly, the wife.) House (stable foundation) Children (My own family) Family & Friendship (friends can be like family to me) Genuine Happiness (at peace with things, no particular reasons to root depression or something deeply saddening) Materials (you know, things you want) Money (money is superficial but i need it to gain some of this) Success(excel in what i enjoy doing/chosen career) Control (this doesn't really matter, but its added security lol) Power (i like feeling powerful yes) Recognition (would be like icing on the cake of power)only the top 4 mean the most to me in this life time. 5 is relevant if i achieve the top 3 at least. 6, 7 and 8 makes me even happier in a superficial way. 8 means more to me than 6 and 7, but 6 and 7 would make me happier in the long run i think, than 8. the rest are meaningless and are just little desires that don't matter. these are all the 'selfish' needs. i do have selfless ones that can make me happy. thanks.

Very interesting.1. Successful Career. 2. Passionate, soul-shattering, deadly lifelong romance. 3. Reaching and maintaining my ideal appearance. 4. Finding some place (country, city) to connect with. 5. Being constantly challenged intellectually, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Should I tell you my placements, or are you guessing?

letram,I find choices 6-11 interesting. Very honest, and almost probing. You said they're not important, but at the same time, you did list them. What are you placements? How important are they to your everyday life? IP: Logged |

1. Understand myself - find my own identity - being proud and true to myself (Aries Sun/Moon/Venus/Mercury stellium).2. Being with the one I love (Pisces DC and the above stellium in the 8th house). 3. My family and my few but special friends (same as 2, plus Sagittarius IC). 4. Being able to enjoy life, trust more, fear less, and let go of sadness (Taurus NN). 5. Having a good future career in which I can have good stable income plus liking what I do (Virgo AC/Gemini MC). I'm happy with my income as long as I can pay the needed stuffs plus the things I want. X3 And I'm happy if I can handle my life's responsibilities and being independent (Virgo AC trine Capricorn Neptune). 6. Keep learning, widening and restructuring my knowledge/wisdom (t-square with Taurus Mars in the 9th house oppose Scorpio Pluto in the 3rd house and square Aquarius Jupiter in the 6th house). 7. Find my way of artist - which is pretty related to 1 (Sun in the 8th house square Neptune in 5th house?). 8. Traveling (Sagittarius IC). IP: Logged |

Adventure--> I need excitement and intensity in my life. I want to travel and constantly learn. (Venus opposite pluto, Sun in Gemini)

letram,Pluto in your 4th house makes family, home, the mother (all 4th house matters) very important to you. That would explain your top 5 choices! IP: Logged |

1. Freedom to live my life on my terms as much as possible. 2. To have warmth, food, shelter, drink etc. 3. Having close contact with nature to keep me grounded and focused on what its all about. 4. Nice people around.Money is nice, but only there to serve need for freedom. I dont need money to be happy. As long as the basics are there, all is fine Parter goes under "nice people around Me" Music can be played in my head. Maybe the Aquarius rising bit for the freedom. Basics needs are Cancer, while relating is a Libran subject.
