My 5H Sag stellium (including moon, Mars, Neptune) help me be creative and playful which is very important to the irons I have in the fire, while my 3H Libra helps me make the connections I need to do so (though almost always local).

However, if you define successful by making lots and lots of money, then that's not for me, and neither of my stelliums would care for that kind of commitment. The point for me is to be free and exercise creativity, not to get filthy rich. While it can be said that money frees us, to actually nurture that kind of wealth (and then keep it) would require a dedication that would be more demanding than most jobs where you work for someone else, and to paraphrase a saying I've heard before, a ball and chain made of gold is still a ball and chain. While my placements make me successful by MY standards, they would not be good for (nor do they desire) the type of entrepreneurship that considers say a six figure+ bank account to be the determination of success rather than freedom.

Don't get me wrong, I do have headaches (I'm currently frustrated with one particular job right now), but overall I feel like I skip what many others take as an inevitability of life, and that's the point, for me.
