Here is my natal chart.

Saturn is the only planet in the Southern Hemisphere.
All the other planets are in the Northern Hemisphere.

That points to an introverted nature.

All of my big 3 (Sun,Moon,Ascendant) are in the yin signs.
Additionally, 2 personal planets (Mercury and Venus) are in yin signs.

That points to an introverted nature.

2 of the big 3 in watersigns and 2 other personal planets in watersigns points to an intuitive feeling nature.

I see Pluto in the first house which is tremendous personal power. You struggled against so many odds--interracial, foster care,learning disabilites but you survived and thrived and NOW are trying to make a difference in other people's lives.
You have Mars and Moon in Aqua in the 6th--the house of work. You have a passion for your foundation.
It seems your heart(moon) and drive(mars) are there.
You have a full 3rd house which is communication in Scorpio which shows you MUST communicate to be fufilled. You deal with deeper life issues which Scorpio would indicate.
Your life's work with Neurodiversity lies in communicating these ideas to other.
You have Chiron in the 8th which shows struggles in the deep areas of life--trying to make sense of deep things.
I feel that in you whether it is of prejudice(sp?) (man's inhumanity to man) or other under the surface issues in life.

Ami
PS Uranus is unaspected in Libra. This may show someone who MUST seek balance and harmony .You seem to want to find the goodness and fairness in life and have little patience for the ugliness of life such as people's cruelty to others.
Uranus ,unaspected, can do it's own thing.
It is an independent actor and thinker.
You have used the independence of Uranus to break new ground with your foundation.

You also have Chiron --unaspected ,too.
I am not sure how that would work.

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

You are:
distinctively expressed introvert

moderately expressed intuitive personality

moderately expressed feeling personality

slightly expressed judging personality

Judging and Perceiving are prone to change now and then. When I first took the test years ago I was an INFP, but since I have become a teacher I usually score as an INFJ; judging is not my natural preference, but a "trained" one.

"Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.

Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

Counselors tend to work effectively in organizations. They value staff harmony and make every effort to help an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. They understand and use human systems creatively, and are good at consulting and cooperating with others. As employees or employers, Counselors are concerned with people's feelings and are able to act as a barometer of the feelings within the organization.

Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language-both written and spoken-is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena."

My favourite type is actually ENFP. I just adore these people! Even though sometimes they stress me out, too.
Another very intersting type for me is ESFP. What is it about that sensing? It is mysterious and fascinating to me.

posted July 20, 2010 04:42 PM            

you are my favourite type.

posted July 20, 2010 05:19 PM            

Extrovert - because I am an introvert myself and I just admire this quality (if it is not too extreme, and bordering the hyperactive).

Intuitive - of course
Even though I admit: Sensing feels like a very foreign country to me, and it`s fascinating, because I donīt really get it.

Feeling - well, I was actually surprised to count so high on feeling, I thought I was a thinker, but it seems that my important decision are never made without my heart, which is true.

I think I admire extrovert feelers, as they usually have no problems in expressing outwardly their emotions, while I am not THAT expressive, or in a more subtle way, and sometimes I wished I was, more expressive, that is.

Perceiving - like that. I know I scored as a J, but I still think it`s a mistake.
Just the requirement of my job.
You should see my appartment and the mess here! No, I am not a very organized person actually. I do try to be punctual, cause it is a matter of respect towards the other person, but not because I find it so important myself.

posted July 20, 2010 06:04 PM            

Maybe I would be drawn to an ESFP type, too. Actually I think that would be VERY possible. I am really fascinated with this strange concept of SENSING.
I don`t think that it would be a good idea to be with a dominant Introvert type for me, it is just too much introversion I think.
A dominant T-type could probably make me crazy with his logic. I value logic GREATLY, but not if it trumps compassion. That is something I could get really upset about. And those are arguments I wouldnīt want to have.
But maybe I am totally wrong about this.

Yeah, I have good taste.

Ami Ann,

It can indicate restrictions,limitations when it comes to higher education,religion,philosophy,traveling

the Saturn in 9th house is also opposite Jupiter and Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd house, and that's associated with early education.
and that opposition is squared the Moon in 6th house. T-Square

It could indicate the conflict between the leftbrained and the rightbrained that effects me emotionally in the areas of routine,work,and health.
Neptune in 3rd involved in the t-square could indicate learning issues connected to be a visual/picture/imaginative way of thinking that is mismatch for the mainstream learning environment.
It can indicate issues with day dreaming associated with inattentive type ADHD. It can also indicate confusion,illusion in communications like my history of auditory reversals,distortion of speech sounds, and speech that lacks clarity and organization. I had unintelligible speech that was linked to auditory reversals. It can mean my confusion with words. 3rd also relates to dexterity,fine motor skills which I have history of problems with. Moon square Neptune can indicate extreme sensitivity which can also factor into learning issues......too much stimuli for my brain to process. That's typical of neurodivergence. Neptune in my t-square can also indicate my problems with organization which is common thing with Dyslexics,Dyspraxics,ADHDers.

Hard Saturn aspects can indicate developmental delays
It can also indicate insecurity,depression which was very true in my case. Saturn is also the planet that rules the ears. Therefore, the Saturn in t-square could indicate my auditory processing issues.
Saturn in hard aspect can indicate poor sense of time. With Neptune involve, spaciness involved.

The theme is also shown in the declinations
Mercury parallel Neptune
Venus parallel Neptune
Saturn contraparallel Neptune

Saturn contraparallel Mercury-Venus-Neptune
in Declination Longitude equivalent chart: Saturn oppose Mercury-Venus-Neptune conjunction

Varuna in 3'01 Gemini R is conjunct Saturn in 5'08 Gemini R, oppose Neptune in 1'48 Sagittarius,and square my Moon in 3'11 Pisces,and trine my Pluto in 0'51 Libra. Varuna is a transneptunian dwarf planet candidate, and so it involves evolutionary intensification which was mainly assigned to Pluto when it was thought to be the only object in the transneptunian region.
Varuna is named after the Indian God of the Oceans,and used to be the supreme god. He was depicted as carrying a noose. It can be about judgment,justice, and competence.

"Also, if I may ,I would like to ask you some questions.
When I look at your chart, I SEE you.
It has not happened to me,before, that I could SEE a person from a chart.
I hope it is OK if I give some observations.
Correct me--please--if I am wrong and I will erase this if it is too intrusive."

"I see Pluto in the first house which is tremendous personal power. You struggled against so many odds--interracial, foster care,learning disablilites but you survived and thrived and NOW are trying to make a difference in other people's lives.
You have Mars and Moon in Aqua in the 6th--the house of work. You have a passion for your foundation.
It seems your heart(moon) and drive(mars) are there.
You have a full 3rd house which is communication in Scorpio. Mercury and Venus are there which shows you MUST communicate to be fufilled. You deal with deeper life issue in your work as Scorpio would indicate."

Yes..both my Moon and Mars are in 6th house. However, my Moon is in Pisces. It's not in Aquarius like my Mars is. There is compassion,inspiration,idealism,empathy,sensitivity involved in the work too.......the Moon is trine my Sun in 5'20 Scorpio, and so ego,self expression and vitality are involved. My Moon is also highly modified by transneptunian dwarf planet candidates. So it's greatly effected my evolutionary intensified energy.
Moon trines Quaoar in 2'22 Scorpio. It is named after Tongva Native American deity who created through song and dance. It can be associated with inspirational creativity. Moon trines Ixion in 5'25 Scorpio. It is named after a Lapith King in Greek mythology who was punished by being placed on spinning wheel for his sexual advances towards Hera. He is the father of the centaurs. Moon squares Varuna in 3'01 Gemini which I already went over. Moon sextiles Sedna in 2'07 Taurus R in 8th. Sedna is named after the Inuit Sea/Underworld Goddess. It is said to be about environmental awareness and matters involving victimization,abuse,and betrayal. It is said to be a deeply shamanic energy. Both Quaoar and Sedna are larger than asteroid dwarf planet, Ceres. They will inevitably be added to the list of dwarf planets and Plutoids. Sedna is the largest dwarf planet candidate.

With Pluto being a transneptunian dwarf planet and one of over a thousand transneptunians and kuiper belt objects discovered, I am really starting to have doubts about Pluto's influence in houses. I am one of the EXTREMELY small minority astrologers that agree with Pluto being stripped of its planetary status. I knew that it was going to happen. I just wondered when it was going to happen. The same thing happened to Ceres. Ceres got demoted after being classed as a planet for 40 years. After it was discovered to be a part of an asteroid belt, its planetary status was stripped. Now both Pluto and Ceres are equals in astronomy for they are both classed as dwarf planets now. That's because of the discovery of Eris which is larger than Pluto. It was Eris' size that led to astronomers being forced to reconsider planetary status for Pluto. Eris' discovery led to redefining planetary criteria and coming up with new categories including dwarf planet and Plutoid which both Eris and Pluto are classed as.

also Pluto and Eris' fellow transneptunian dwarf planet Haumea is in 11'17 Virgo in my 12th conjunct my Ascendant/oppose my Descendant. Therefore, I was born with Haumea Rising.
Haumea is square my Midheaven/Imum Coeli axis. The evolutionary intensified energy of Haumea greatly influences my persona,how I relate to life, and relationshipts. It also influences my career,aim in life, domestic environment,and past.
It is the 4th largest minor planet. It is named after the Hawaiian fertility creation goddess. Haumea can be about fertility and creativity. It could also be about branching off. Other transneptunians broke off from Haumea. Some of them became Haumea's moons, and some became independently orbiting objects.

I can't help think that the energy that I feel people say is Pluto in 1st is my Haumea conjunct Ascendant because Haumea greatly influences my 1st house more than Pluto does.

Mercury in Scorpio is modified by a square to transneptunian dwarf planet Makemake in 16'20 Leo in 12th. Makemake is a transneptunian dwarf planet,Plutoid like Pluto,Haumea.
Therefore evolutionary intensified energy of Makemake influences my thinking and communications. Makemake is named after the Rapanui fertility creation god. It can be about fertility and creativity. The fertile,creative,evolutionary,intensified mind. Mercury is also sextile the geocentric south Saturn Node in 18'00 Capricorn and geocentric south Pluto Node in 18'18 Capricorn. Therefore my communications,thinking has some connection and opportunities with collective structure and transformation. The Mercury sextile geocentric south Pluto Node also indicates evolutionary intensification involved in how think.

Venus in Scorpio is modified by a trine to transneptunian dwarf planet candidate, Orcus in 22'28 Cancer R in 11th. Therefore, my love nature,value,relationships also involved evolutionary intensification. Orcus is named after the Etruscan god/lord of the Underworld. He was said to punish people that didn't uphold their oaths. It could be about oaths and promises.
Venus is also trine the geocentric north Jupiter Node in 20'53 Cancer and geocentric north Pluto Node in 21'16 Cancer. Therefore my love nature,value,relationships has some connection and harmony with collective expansion and transformation.

There is also Jupiter and Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd which could the progressive,idealistic,inspirational communications
"Your life's work with Neurodiversity lies in communicating these ideas to other."
You have Chiron in the 8th which shows struggles in the deep areas of life--trying to make sense of deep things.
I feel that in you whether it is of prejudice(sp?) (man's inhumanity to man) or other under the surface issues in life."

Chiron in 8th is conjunct the transneptunian dwarf planet Eris in 12'15 Aries R. That conjunct sextiles/trines the Midheaven/Imum Coeli in 11'14 Gemini/Sagittarius and sextile/trine Lunar Nodes in 10'30 Aquarius/Leo in 5th/11th. Therefore it involves diversity,equality,controversy,discord which effects my career,aim in life, domestic environment,roots as well as my associations,connections,karmic destiny, past.

Ami
"PS Uranus is unaspected in Libra. This may show someone who MUST seek balance and harmony .You seem to want to find the goodness and fairness in life and have little patience for the ugliness of life such as people's cruelty to others.
Uranus ,unaspected, can do it's own thing.
It is an independent actor and thinker.
You have used the independence of Uranus to break new ground with your foundation."

I agree

It trines my Midheaven in 11'14 Gemini, and so it effects my career,social status. I even have geocentric south Uranus Node in 12'04 Sagittarius conjunct my Imum Coeli and oppose my Midheaven. Therefore, my career,aim in life, domestic environment,and roots involves collective independence.

It opposes my Eris in 12'15 Aries R in 8th and sextiles my Ceres in 13'57 Leo in 11th and Makemake in 16'20 Scorpio. Therefore, Uranus aspects 3 of Pluto's fellow dwarf planets. With 2 of them transenptunians, Uranus is influenced by evolutionary intensified energy.

"You also have Chiron --unaspected ,too.
I am not sure how that would work."

Actually Chiron is not unaspected. It trines Jupiter in 8'17 Sagittarius in 3rd. Also Chiron is not a planet. It's one of over 60 centaurs in our solar system. Therefore, if it was being unaspected, there wouldn't be much significance to it. Chiron is also conjunct Eris in 12'15 Aries R. That could indicates wounds,healing involving diversity,equality,discord,controversy. Eris is a larger transneptunian object than Pluto. Both are dwarf planets. If Pluto is given weight as a planet, then it would make sense for Eris to be given weight too. For that matter, Haumea and Makemake for they are dwarf planets. Ceres is also a dwarf planet. These objects stand out from all the minor planets (asteroids,centaurs,transneptunians). Ceres stands alone as the only asteroid that is classed as a dwarf planet. It's over 900 km in diameter, and no asteroid comes closes to its size. Chiron is under 400 km in diameter, and so it's not even close to Ceres' size. It doesn't meet criteria for dwarf planet.
Jupiter in 3rd trine Chiron could indicate my special education and special education teachers that I greatly benefited from.

The transneptunians are the 21st century objects. Without looking at them transneptunian objects, the complete picture of me would not be given. I am very strong in the 21st Century objects, and so looking at me through the 20th century lense makes no sense to me. The transneptunians seem to fill in the blanks.
It was only until after astronomers discovered Pluto's fellow big transneptunian objects, I discovered my neurodivergence and realized my life purpose as a neurodiversity advocate.

The learning issues are about my being a rightbrained,creative, visual/picture thinking,novelty-seeking person whose way of learning is a mismatch for the cookie cutter auditory sequential learning environment that is in mainstream schools. Being a neurodivergent also includes being an ultrasensitive type which people in the special education field say has to do with sensory integration issues which autistics have the most intense.

Neurodivergence include strengths and not just weaknesses. That's the mission statement of the nonprofit.

The main is that a different mind is not a deficient mind.

My Sun in 5'20 Scorpio conjunct Geocentric South Eris Node in 5'29 Scorpio, oppose Geocentric North Eris Node in 5'30 Taurus indicates that I am very strongly connected to collective diversity,equality,controversy,discord.
Being a neurodiversity advocate, starting a non profit neurodiversity organization which can lead me to be a big part of the Neurodiversity Movement fits with those Eris nodal contacts.

I think my introversion can be connected to multiple things
that include shyness, ultrasensitivity (sensory defensiveness – overly stimulated by stimuli), and just my interest in just being by myself.

I think my very strong transneptunian influence ,which I feel reflects my ultrasensitivity than Neptune, can also be a factor in my introversion.

[Ami: Do you think your current nature is the SAME nature you had as a child.]
--I think my basic core hasnt changed at all from childhood. Although I think I might even have been more of an INTJ as a child than now. I was seriously an alien child, hardcore anti-social & had zero friends growing up...that's how bad it was. My parents & teachers brought in shrinks to examine me, cuz they thought I had Aspergers. Dont get me wrong, I never had an issue with self confidence even as a kid. I've never equated introvertedness as shyness (as most people do), because to me, they're entirely different. I still live in my own lil' world, but at least through the years, I've learnt to become more Libran. Turn on the charm or, "act," outgoing/social when I have to.

posted July 21, 2010 04:46 AM            

i was definitely the Extrovert when i was younger (any ages before 13 maybe a bit older).

in fact, the younger i was, the closer i feel my fire stood out, especially my aries moon.

i was quite popular amongst adults, i almost feel these days that my leo ASC doesnt exist, nor much of that fire. (it does, i still feel it, but can you imagine all of this fire introverted?)

and as one member once put, channelled through all of my earthy placements.

you'd think a libra venus placement might salvage the the extrovert but i think it along wit my moon in aries, was stunted in expression by that saturn. i consider my self more earthy in the general sense, i know deep down and inside i am more firey though.

the older iv become, the more iv matured, the more i relate to my earth placements, and probablu progressed sun in virgo.

i think its possible my Moon trine my ASC tightly, and Pluto square it tightly, kind of waters down that ascendant. conceals it a bit.

the description of the INTJ on wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTJ

fits me very accurately,

bits like:

INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms.

INTJs are analytical.

They tend to be pragmatic, logical, and creative. They have a low tolerance for spin or rampant emotionalism.

INTJs are strong individualists who seek new angles or novel ways of looking at things. They enjoy coming to new understandings. They tend to be insightful and mentally quick; however, this mental quickness may not always be outwardly apparent to others since they keep a great deal to themselves. They are very determined people who trust their vision of the possibilities, regardless of what others think.

is very accurate.

in general the INTJ sounds like a mix of earthyness, and a bit of fire and air. in particular aries/aquarius on the air/fire part.

for earth i would think virgo, or capricorn.

analytical sounds virgo/aquarian to me.

there could be a bit of water but im not sure.

perhaps its the combination of my virgo and uranian energy / aquarius dsc? that perhaps leads to a more reserved individual, more aloof and distant. (though this isnt fixated, it seems to be my general disposition but i feel comfortable being quite sociable too).

saturn/capricorn is quite strong in my chart according to pullen. perhaps thats to do with it.

INTJ to me sounds quite aquarian, on wiki they think a famous person called Susan B in the US lands was an INTJ. according to her wiki page she was an Aquarius.

i can come accross more extrovert over the net more often than i can in person, in this post i feel introvert in mood :] ..

thanks for all the replies, i was curious to see if others charts reflected their overall personality (kind of indicated by the myers briggs personality types imo).

and if Not, what in the chart explains it?

i knew mine looked firey and potentially extrovert, this is why i found the contradiction kind of interesting (its been a contradiction as iv gotten older aand older since childhood)

im guessing many INTJ's probably have an Earth placed Mercury (pragmatic, analytical)

for me i think its my earthy placements outweighing the fire despite being top 3, and i also think the water planets watering down my moon and ASC a bit (neptune square moon, pluto square asc/moon trine asc).

but more significant i think, is the saturn squaring my venus and sun, possibly the trine to my mars.

my sun isn't watered down, but it is trined by uranus, perhaps that adds that aquarian energy, especially since my sun is the ruler of my ASC and possibly in the first.

More than the other Artisans, Composers are in tune with their senses, and so have a sure grasp of what belongs, and what doesn't belong, in all kinds of works of art. While the other Artisans are skilled with people, tools, and entertainment, Composers have an exceptional ability-seemingly inborn-to work with subtle differences in color, tone, texture, aroma, and flavor.

Although Composers often put long, lonely hours into their artistry, they are just as impulsive as the other Artisans. They do not wait to consider their moves; rather, they act in the here and now, with little or no planning or preparation. Composers are seized by the act of artistic composition, as if caught up in a whirlwind. The act is their master, not the reverse. Composers paint or sculpt, they dance or skate, they write melodies or make recipes-or whatever-simply because they must. They climb the mountain because it is there.

This ability to lose themselves in action accounts for the spectacular individual accomplishments of some Composers, and yet on their social side they show a kindness unmatched by all the other types. Composers are especially sensitive to the pain and suffering of others, and they sympathize freely with the sufferer. Some have a remarkable way with young children, almost as if there were a natural bond of sympathy and trust between them. A similar bond may be seen between some Composers and animals, even wild animals. Many Composers have an instinctive longing for the wilds, and nature seems to welcome them.

Composers are just as plentiful as the other Artisans, say nine or ten per cent of the population, but in general they are very difficult to observe and thus greatly misunderstood. Very likely the difficulty comes from their tendency not to express themselves verbally, but through their works of art. Composers are usually not interested in developing ability in public speaking, or even in the art of conversation; they prefer to feel the pulse of life by touch, in the muscles, in the eyes, in the ears, on the tongue. Make no mistake, Composers are just as interested as other types in sharing their view of the world, and if they find a medium of non-verbal communication-some art form-then they will express their character quite eloquently. If not, they simply remain unknown, their quietness leaving their character all but invisible.

Healers present a calm and serene face to the world, and can seem shy, even distant around others. But inside they're anything but serene, having a capacity for personal caring rarely found in the other types. Healers care deeply about the inner life of a few special persons, or about a favorite cause in the world at large. And their great passion is to heal the conflicts that trouble individuals, or that divide groups, and thus to bring wholeness, or health, to themselves, their loved ones, and their community.

Healers have a profound sense of idealism that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong. They conceive of the world as an ethical, honorable place, full of wondrous possibilities and potential goods. In fact, to understand Healers, we must understand that their deep commitment to the positive and the good is almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. Set off from the rest of humanity by their privacy and scarcity, Healers can feel even more isolated in the purity of their idealism.

Also, Healers might well feel a sense of separation because of their often misunderstood childhood. Healers live a fantasy-filled childhood-they are the prince or princess of fairy tales-an attitude which, sadly, is frowned upon, or even punished, by many parents. With parents who want them to get their head out of the clouds, Healers begin to believe they are bad to be so fanciful, so dreamy, and can come to see themselves as ugly ducklings. In truth, they are quite OK just as they are, only different from most others-swans reared in a family of ducks.

At work, Healers are adaptable, welcome new ideas and new information, are patient with complicated situations, but impatient with routine details. Healers are keenly aware of people and their feelings, and relate well with most others. Because of their deep-seated reserve, however, they can work quite happily alone. When making decisions, Healers follow their heart not their head, which means they can make errors of fact, but seldom of feeling. They have a natural interest in scholarly activities and demonstrate, like the other Idealists, a remarkable facility with language. They have a gift for interpreting stories, as well as for creating them, and thus often write in lyric, poetic fashion. Frequently they hear a call to go forth into the world and help others, a call they seem ready to answer, even if they must sacrifice their own comfort.
