I've been diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder. Before I get accused of being a monster; no, it's not as black-and-white as it's written in descriptions and also, no; not every a-hole who cheated on someone, has been abusive and manipulative is a sociopath/psychopath. Not all of us are serial killers and a-holes. We do feel emotions on some level, just not the way "the normal people" do and we rarely have emotions towards other people.

I wonder whether there's any indication of my condition in my chart.

Well you certanly wont find set in stone rules regarding ASPD in astrology, BUT there are certain patterns, some of which you fit.

Allot of serial killers have prominent saggitarius and/or leo in their charts(Ted bundy is a good example). Yes i realize not all sociopaths are serial killers and vice versa but i presume you understand why i use them as an example.

Now if you don't mind me asking, you say you feel emotions diffrently than what is usualy described, how so? i just can't imagine not having any empathy at all, altough i can imagine justifying means by ends, wathever they may be.

Just because you were diagnosed with it doesn't mean you have it.

That aside, I can see many reasons in your chart why someone might think you are even if you're not...and also one aspect that IS infamous for that sort of thing...Scorpio Lilith:
http://www.astrologyinaction.com/lilith.htm

quote:
Lilith in Scorpio is the devil incarnate. She exploits others sexually. She delights in knowing other peoples' deepest secrets, yet she will never admit her own. She is magnetic and sexually seductive more than any other Lilith placement. She is the succubus. She is the faithful keeper of secrets that will never confess to all her innumerable immodest acts. As a mother, she is abusive and sadistic. This position is associated with severe child abuse, flagellation and sexual abuse during early childhood. This is often a cycle, as the person with Lilith in Scorpio was also subjected to abuse in childhood. Death of children in the placement is possible. As a lover, she is manipulative, using her sexual prowess to gain the upper hand in any relationship. Sex is her best weapon. Jealousy and obsessive stalking behavior is common, making her dangerous in love. She would not even balk at murder. As a mistress, she aims to take other peoples' money and possessions. She is the prostitute.

Btw, given that you're a Cancer moon as well I thought you might want to see this thread:

Interesting that Jupiter is usually very afflicted with this and you have aYod with Jupiter at the apex. I don't know what this means but you do not have the classic "many Jupiter afflictions" from my cursory glance.

First thing I noticed...the majority of your planets are hidden below the horizon in the bottom half of your chart.

Hmmm... Not sure how I can explain it... Most of the time I'm flat, meaning I don't feel anything at all. When emotions do appear, they are either intense or don't stay present for long. I never experienced romantic love so I can't really elaborate on that, but the only people for whom I've ever felt any emotional affection at all are my siblings (all much younger than me). And I'm not sure if that's love. It's like, for most people "love" is a combination of different positive emotions they have for another person, those emotions sort of mash together into one singular feeling. With me, those emotions stay separate from each other. I feel protective towards my siblings, I enjoy their personalities, I tolerate them even when they annoy me (which I don't do for anyone else except if there's some ulterior motive). I like providing for them and making them happy. But my happiness doesn't come from their happiness. I see making them happy/smiling as an accomplishment.
Yet, I don't miss them when they're away. I might miss them if they died, but after a while I'd get bored of that feeling and I'd get annoyed for having to pretend to still feel that way because it's "expected" of me.

My emotions are very self - serving.
Oh, yes, for whomever said that my diagnosis might not be necessarily correct; it is. I was in denial for a long time, not wanting to be stuck with a label like that, but under the surface, I always knew there was something different about me and that it's something I have to keep hidden from people.

Wow I came back with a sense that you had an Unaspected Planet and it is Venus. This is a lovely one to have. It gives great charm

I've had the pleasure of meeting several '88 born earth Dragons who could pass for sociopaths, two of them born in November with a similar chart.
But I might be biased, since Tigers and Dragons are combative towards each other. We're not the best of friends lol

Based on both your Western and Chinese astro-make up... you could appear sociopathic even if you technically weren't meeting the criteria. I can see where Pixie is coming from.

But I mean... if you feel it fits - then it fits.
Does this worry you? Or upset you? You said the label bothered you. Why is that?

I thinks it's possibly that Yod....

Juno/Venus with the outlet as Mars.
This disorder has issues of disconnect from others, lack of empathy/understanding/feeling for others and no understanding of how you belong to the whole.
It's an isolating disability at it core, this is what can lead to the ability/desires that creates anti-social behaviors.

Your libra AC with Venus in scorp is sitting of it, the 2 signs don't exactly blend well.
You want to be seen as libra(light airy) but your love style is scorp(intense, unforgiving) it's wrecking havoc on the way you need to be seen.

The outlet and focus of the Yod is aries Mars, a very strong mars in the house of love but in cusp of 6th.
I'll have to think about how the 6th house fits in...

One of your greatest struggles will be fighting(Mars) for your ability to feel love(Venus) and connect(Juno) to others or feel bonded to others, this will not come naturally to you.

Look at signs, aspects and house placements more deeply to get a better idea of how it plays out and potentially where you find support to help you achieve the ability to overcome the disconnect you feel.

If it is the Yod, as you grow towards your spiritual soul, your higher self the feeling of disconnect will lessen abd your ability to connect to others will grow.

I know someone who overcame his anti-social issues, I don't think he truly had the disorder. Maybe he had more of the "habits" that looked like the disorder without the actual mental or chemical issue that causes it in some ppl.
Sometimes you can learn behaviors, or adopt them, that look like mental illness but once you outgrow or deal with the pains that initially caused the issues the unhealthy behaviors disappear to.

It doesn't worry me. However, there's no cure for people like me. Only thing I can do is to learn how to control my urges a little better.

People fear sociopaths/psychopaths; just type the words into google and see what comes up. Every single person who has done something wrong to someone, gets accused of being a sociopath/psychopath, even though most of them probably aren't. Some believe that we should be locked in jails or mental institutions for good, even though most of us haven't done anything to deserve that. Did you know that a person with ASPD gets more years of prison sentence than the one without a label, even though they comitted the exact same crime?

I have no desire to be isolated from the rest of the world because of my mental disorder and I don't want to be shunned upon.

You have an almost Unaspected Moon which should make you really sensitive. On a short glance, this does not look like the chart of ASPD, to me.

That's the thing. It just doesn't fit. I do try to treat other people with some sensitivity towards their emotions, but I don't feel any of that. I'm the first person people come to when they need someone to talk to, to listen to their problems and give them advice. My mind is unclouded by emotions, so I can give them my constructive opinion. People think I emphatise with them, but I don't.

I don't think such things can be seen in a natal chart, however what jumps out at me is the afflicted JUPITER, being severely debilitated in its sign of detriment (Gemini), at an anaretic degree (0°) and opposing Sun/Mercury which it rules.
It's also an Air singleton, now that's a biggy, basically this Jupiter takes the energy of the entire chart and 'runs with it', for the lack of a better expression.
And it's retrograde (gee, it's a never-ending pit it seems), which points to idiosyncratic moral and/or cultural mores.

Also of much significance is the afflicted MARS in self-serving Aries, square Uranus/Saturn (and Neptune, ruler of the North Node...) in the 3rd house (the house of the mind) and sitting in the 5H of self-expression, close to the 6H of service/self-perfection.

As Gabby pointed out, it's also part of a Yod with Juno and Venus - both bodies representing our ability to relate, and Mars being at the apex of that configuration obviously speaks of a challenging energy (putting oneself first at the cost of not being able to relate to others in an intimate way).

The Moon isn't afflicted, actually it has a trine to Pluto which might explain your overall "balanced" personality (as opposed to other people with ASPD who become criminals for instance), but it doesn't seem to override the other aspects.
(Your Moon rules the 9H of morality and higher learning, which might also explain the fact that you're not out there hurting people or being destructive.)

The IC, deepest part of Self, is in detached Aquarius and its ruler Uranus conjuncts cold Saturn in the 3rd (another "detached" house) and of course they both square Mars, again emphasizing what I said previously. Jupiter in tight quincunx to those two exacerbates the discrepancy between what is "morally" or "culturally" correct and your own internal workings.

Another point that might not be totally relevant but still applies - your South Node is in Virgo in the 11H house so you come from a very detached and discerning place, this makes me think of someone who's removed from their heart (5H) and from compassion or empathy (Pisces).
The square to the Sun exacerbates the focus on the self to the detriment of the soul path and/or important lessons to learn in this life time (mainly, Pisces/5H energy).

Hopefully this makes sense.

Doux, did you notice Jupiter is also in a Yod with Saturn&Uranus/AC? Ugh again!

This is going to make your Jupiter energy hard to access until you work through other issues relating to how you are seen and your rebellious, changeable energy that's unwilling to conform or accept you don't always have all the answers, combined with Saturn.

Those 2 energies(Sat and Uranus)conjunct within themselves are like a mind£u€k! lol!
Maybe you feel its your responsibility to be rebellious and non conforming. You are the one blazing new paths for others but can't be bothered with the ppl following you. Potentially resent the ones who would be following you. You feel a need to be alone in your endeavors, ppl are second and an extra weight in your progress as you do what you need to do.

Back to the Yod....Jupiter will be the outlet and the focus. It won't be easy because it means you need to be turning to your higher self, allowing your thinking to be governed by Jupiter's energy. This is the expanding, giving, learning spirituality energy that gives without fear of getting anything back.

Most important thing is learning that the ego cannot lead you. Only your higher self, your higher power, the things that open you up to your connection to the universe are the things that will bring you happiness and bless your life.
**Very hard to do or for you to see with your aries Mars exact trine your saggy Sun...your ego is very strong and it's energy flows soooo easily and naturally.

Your Sun squares Juno-0 degree (ego vs. uniting with others)
Your Mars squares Neptune-3.5 degree (passion, drive for self vs. the higher self, the world beyond the physical, the spiritual world)


To me, 2 yods both making it hard to feel your connection to ppl and the universe means inside yourself you feel very disconnected in every way, I'd be p*ssed if I felt like that. I'd possibly resent ppl and want to either shut them out or worse want them gone all together. Lol
It could look like they have something that you don't, like they were given something special and you weren't and you don't know why.
Somewhere deep inside you could feel slighted.
It's like God just dropped you on your @ss without any help or support system.
Your struggled will be to realize your not alone, to allow yourself to be part of the whole. Nobody has been given more than you, your loved, wanted and needed just as much as every soul on earth is, then learning not take the fear of being alone out on the people around you by refusing to care about them or conform to the life that their structure provides.

In my opinion the biggest challenge would be to realize you have not been dropped on your @ss without a support system, you are an equally valuable energy that we all are, your wanted, needed and loved. Seeing how you fit in, why your needed and important...just allowing yourself to be open to others is essential.

I would definitely encourage you to learn about chakras, work hard on opening up your roof chakra, were healing stones that support that chakra to help you feel grounded. Black stones are the best, my favorite is black tourmaline(fiercely protective) and obsidian(brings up emotional pains to be healed, also protective)
Meditation daily would help you connect to your higher self and maybe after time yoga....you can do it alone at first but try working up to doing a class with others.

Great comment, Doux. I need to really study it. To me, the Yod makes for movement like it pushes one to meet it's challenge. I see it as a positive but it entails a struggle. To me, it shows the life purpose of the person and that to which she will feel "complete" when realized.

This is not to go against anything you said. I need to study your points!

I don't think it's helpful to think of yourself as "suffering from an incurable illness". We're all stuffed up in our own ways. You have your own challenges and problems, which I'm sure you'll overcome in time. There's also an upside to not being distracted by emotion. People with ASPD, as well as people with Aspergers often have a higher IQ than average and perform really well academically (which is reinforced by your Sagittarius Sun/Mercury conj in close aspect to Jupiter). Whatever career path you follow, you'll have the ability to excel and make positive contributions to the world around you - if you so choose.

There's no need or requirement that you inform people like acquaintances, friends, co-workers or employers about your diagnosis. I think it's perfectly ok for you to keep this private if you are worried that the stigma attached to the disorder will basically kill your goals and dreams in life. I don't see this as a "disability" that others would need to be informed of. You should talk about it to people close to you, but there's no need to bring it up with others.

There are many high functioning people out there with Cluster B disorders. Lacking the ability to empathise with others does not, by itself - make you dangerous or sadistic or a future serial murderer.
Empathy is not the only thing that stands between a so-called "normal" life and a life of criminality. There is also morality. You can assess things as morally right or morally wrong. You can respect that certain things are legal and others illegal. Basically you can have a code to live by - completely independent of emotion.

Nessus is in 11th house, at 34' 5' Virgo.
Sado is also in 11th house, at 18' 9' Virgo.
Nessus quintiles my Sun, while Sado quintiles my Mercury and sextiles my Moon. Nessus and Sado are conjunct.
