It doesn't help I have Saturn and Venus in 4th conjunct each other. I'm extra sensitive to this criticism, Neptune in 3rd squaring my libra asc. I feel as though I carry the weight of the world in public, and any slight "funny" looks I receive hurts me so bad, like my reputation is being attacked. Being a libra asc I want to please others and want acceptance but I feel the public denies this with me so I constantly feel Imbalanced.

I'm thinking of becoming a freelance artist and building my self worth because I don't feel I fit the mainstream lifestyle of 9-5.n

Maybe we can go on this journey together!

I think people don't really care that much about 'us', if we are different or whatever. It is 'us' that cares and thinks we are being judged because we are in our own heads.

It's time for us to change the record to more a positive one, hang out with people who give us positive (though truthful & constructive) feedback and let the people who constantly snipe and criticize behind up.

This is what I'm seeing I need to do. I have two "friends" (frenimies???) who keep criticizing me while they smile. It's getting tiring.

I often got into trouble with authority figures because they feel threatened by unconventional ways. My independent and strong willed nature just blazed my own path without a care, though there sure to be plenty of obstructions along the way, especially as I am still in the early phase of my career.

YET...

I have also found that I seem to attract strangers who would spend hours talking to me about their life stories. I'm not sure if I was of any help at all, but speaking out in itself does heal even if it's just in a tiny way. This, in turn, leads me to towards a career change into a more community oriented career, which I feel more fulfilling than my previous jobs.

Chiron in 10th may indicate a wound from the authority/public/society, but it can also means 'healing' those abandoned by the society.

I do have issues with criticisms too (chiron sq sun) and I notice I tend to be self critical on myself. The other day I was just thinking of working for the animals instead, like the RSPCA. I could do with days of no harsh words, instead indulging myself with those adorable furry things.

I've been having a bit of a rough week myself.

My progressed sun is conjuncting my natal Uranus and Neptune currently, which also means it is forming a quincunx with my natal Chiron, in my tenth house like yourself.

If Saturn is also transiting your twelfth house at the moment through Scorpio, it will be squaring not only your natal Saturn but your Chiron as well!

These are quite intense aspects, but you just have to stay calm and try your best to stay in the moment. Don't be influenced by the past and don't worry about the future. These aspects are forcing you to really test your inner resources and how well you are able to fend for yourself. It's an existential crisis.

I can also relate to your Libran issues since my moon is in Libra and Tr. Jupiter has just finished squaring both my natal Jupiter and moon. My progressed moon is also currently squaring my natal moon.

For me right now, I'm finding that if I place more emphasis on my home life rather than going out, socialising, being out on the scene, I will feel a lot better.

Maybe it's my progressed moon in cancer and the eighth house, but I'm paying a lot more attention to my home and to being at home.

I usually feel anxious if I haven't least been out and about doing something and seeing people (south node Gemini seventh house), but right now it's not so important to me haha.

If your Chiron is in Leo, maybe spend some time everyday listening to what your inner child needs and wants. What is something your absolutely loved to do when you were little? Don't let your critical authoritarian Saturn in the fourth speak for your inner child. Listen carefully, and nurture them. Sometimes, as I've discovered recently, the Leo archetype isn't necessarily acknowledgement of personal expression from others, but true inner acknowledgement from yourself. Meditate. Nurture yourself. What inspires you? What gives you a true feeling of release and freedom of expression?
