However, you can develop great creativity if you focus your imagination into those efforts.

Physically it is an indication of potential fluid/urinary issues, inflammations/infections. Make sure you get enough water and healthy fluids, especially when stressed.

Don't listen to him OP.

All the people that change the world - or at least wind up having VERY interesting lives - are the ones who have the balls to have big dreams and go after them. No matter what people say.

Adjusting expectations for practical considerations is not doing away with dreams. I never mentioned 'dreams'. Bending more towards practical realities is not throwing away dreams or even hopes, but to take more substantial steps towards what she wants to create, rather than mere short-term preferences (wishful thinking). Wishful thinking is also not 'dreams', and is for her to suss out.

Everyone can realize their dreams and have a great life. Neptune quincunx/150° Asc just indicates adjustments as part of a learning process in getting there. It is like bringing things into sharper focus continually, rather than operating with blurry vision. That itself is part of the creative process.

Koniucha, if your Asc is correct, you also have Neptune contra-parallel it, which functions like the opposition.

Neptune square / opposition / inconjunct Ascendant These aspects give just as much creative and inspirationa ability as do the trines and sextiles' they just require a little more effort on your part to make them productive. You must learn to be direct and straightforward, rather than evasive and manipulative. When you proceed directly to your point, others listen and are charmed by your way with words and inspirational approach. However, if you fantasize, exaggerate and blow things out of proportion, you alienate those around you and have difficulty in all relationships because others find it hard to believe and trust you. With the inconjuct, you should be very careful with drugs and alcohol; you are very susceptible to any foreign substances that you may take into your body. With the opposition, you are often easily deceived and mislead and must learn not to take on others' problems. This tendency, along with a deep-seated need to be needed can make you an easy mark for anyone who is looking for someone to unload all their problems on. You must take care not to be victimized while at the same time you must avoid victimizing others.

"Adjusting expectations for practical considerations"

I have people say stuff like that to and about me all the time. It boils down to "i think you expect too much out of life because. Think you aren't capable of much"

spongebob, you are reacting to things that others have told you, but using this thread as a canvas on which to do so. This is about Koniucha's chart and query.

Do you have something specific to offer her in interpretation?

Asc = mode of expression. In Cancer, emotive, subjective, responsive, deeply bonding.

Quincunx/150° = adjustment. This is not the polar either/or, 'I-thou' of the opposition.

Neptune = subtle, transcendent water planet that in stressful aspects relates to what is assumed, imagined or unrecognized, but which can be transformed into creativity, inspiration, healing.

In Koniucha's chart, because I believe the Asc degree is 23 Cancer, and Neptune is at 20SAG49, this is a separating aspect, waned nearly out of effect, and engaged at the Asc end only -- not reciprocating with the DC, since it is out of orb with a semi-sextile to DC. That means it is actually on her end, tending to emphasize health/body matter, which brings in the McEvers-March interpretation relating to body/poisons/drugs, as does their mention of sacrifice/victimhood.

Creativity is marked with Neptune in 5th. This is a great area to apply imagination, yet it requires ...<gasp> practice! This is where we engage in bits and pieces of learning and effort in order to go from small or unguided ability to larger, self-guided ability.

Koniucha, is any of this helpful at all? I don't want to talk past you as if the question were posed by someone else.
