How did you get all of those asteroids in your chart? I can't figure it out at astro.com.

Go to Free Horoscopes -> Extended Chart Selection, and scroll down to the bottom. There should be a link you can click which will connect to their alphabetically organized list of 17,000+ asteroids. You can select up to 10 at a time for one chart.

Arachne18, thank you for asking and making me think about it.

I was never career focused in the traditional sense. My siblings and peers are Ivy Leaguers and PhDs. We got a decent education in a very tight-knit homeschool network. Academic achievement and success on the career path was assumed. But I secretly knew all I wanted to do was get married and have babies. I consciously made the decision to make that my work.

I am a professional mother. That is not a political statement. I am talking about my calling and sense of purpose in life. I do feel pain and growth in this area. There was a time when all I did was cook and clean and play with and educate babies. That made me happy. My life was sublime. It was like a combination of Love Comes Softly, The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and Little House on the Prairie...

My first husband and I split, and it took me 5 years to accept that that era had ended. I still nurture and adore my children, and I still homeschool. My home is still a refuge for children who need understanding, but my role in the home has changed. I don't have time for beautiful home cooked meals, morning tea, and baked bread. I don't have time for arts and crafts, plays, poetry readings, adventures, house parties, WWF wrestling matches (which my children only know about by my own description-lol).

I am now the money maker. I'm still mama. I'm still home (I work at home). I've still got my eye on the prize, which has to do with guiding really wonderful people into adulthood. It's just not in the way I thought I would be. I really do embrace the changes, but also think back on those times with a somewhat painful nostalgia.

Whatever I'm doing now for work, I am doing because I am a mother, because if I weren't a mother I'd be globe trotting....I do alright in the arena people would call a traditional career. Like I said, I didn't go to Uni. So the position I hold is pretty decent, considering. I work in e-commerce, and my job is pretty unusual. My department is a team of three, and we have tons of flexibility. I can't complain. My work and my new focus on earning, does inspire a new kind of creativity in me. I'm excited to see what I can do with some of my ideas....

I hope my very personal explanation of my experience of both pain and growth (Chiron) in my ambitions (MC) came across in a way you could understand, if not relate to, Arachne18.

Thank you Venus for that very candid answer, yes it did help me understand and as a working mother of young children I can relate and empathize to some of what you say. (Hope you don't mind me quoting it, I just couldn't manage to reply back to you sooner.)

Your children are so lucky to have such a caring mother and to home school them whilst working yourself; well I take my hat off to you! Being a working mum in itself is hard but at least when you work away from home you can purely focus on the job and relinquish the mother role for 5 or so hours of the day,(the downside however, is not being able to spend that important time with your children), so working at home with kids, imo, would be pretty full on, but guess you've probably got it down pat.

Keep your eye on that prize, as I'm sure you will, from what I garner from other posts you write, it sounds to me like you've got the personality to go far regardless of your education. Thanks again ☺

That makes sense. To me, if you have not experienced the pain of your Chiron's House, I would question the time of birth. Even a few minutes can change a house. Do you relate to the 8th House Chiron?
