I have Chiron in the 6th conjunct DC opposite my chart ruler Jupiter conjunct Uranus in the 12th.

Chiron forming a golden yod with my Moon ruling the 8th and Pluto in the 10th.

Chiron trine Sun. Sun conjunct MC.

Plus Venus conjunct Mars stellium in the 8th.

You need 8th house stuff so people tell you their secrets and talk to you about their trauma and so you can help them gain insight but you also need 6th/12th house placements to give you empathy and a desire to help and serve others as well as Chiron quintiles/trines allowing you to use Chiron energy in a creative way that helps you assist others in their healing.

How is mars conjunct chiron like? how wide is that orb? Are you very irritable? Do you feel anger very strongly? or is hard for you to feel anger? Do you like to vent when you are angry or is it hard for you to express yourself when you are angry? Wondering since your mars conjunct chiron is in Gemini.

Are you 100 percent sure of your time of birth? Cancer is in your 12th house but 99 percent of your 12th house is occupied by Leo so if your time of birth is off by a little I think your 12th house could potentially be in LEO easily.

I can understand you are attracted to nursing or counseling or even social work, have you considered social work? with Sun in Taurus and all the placements I just mentioned that would be a great fit too. Taurus is about resources and all those placements/aspects give you a strong desire/need to help others, social workers link people to resources. I was a social worker for many years while I went to grad school to get my masters in psychology.

I don't know out of all those 3 options which is the best option for you, only you know that but I can see why you are drawn to nursing and counseling.

Is it hard for you identify your emotions? Do you feel your emotions are hidden from you often?

What attracts you about each? what are the pros and cons in your mind of been a nurse versus a counselor or social worker? Which one do you feel the strongest pull to? I definitely like counseling way more than been a social worker personally but you have Sun in Taurus and ruler of the 2nd Mercury in the 8th, you would have a lot of knowledge about resources and how to link people to resources so something to consider too, this knowledge would come easily to you, resources were never my strength but some people have a library in their head about this stuff, then again I did not specialize in social work but majored in psychology.

My first job after my I obtained my Bachelor's degree was as a case manager/social worker for the elderly. I really liked that job, it was about linking the elderly to resources/services that will allow them to stay home, the goal was to help them avoid institutionalization such as ending up in a nursing home. I would link them to services such homemaker services, personal care, companionship and link them to resources such as food stamps, housing, helping them maintain their medicaid eligibility, taking steps to increase their level of care when they needed more services...etc

So it is advantageous to have Uranus there in order to be able to look at things from varying angles, inside-out,rightside up, left side right etc.

So as their "helper", you need to be one step ahead. You need to know when they are faking emotions(because they can), when they are regaling you with a made up childhood story(garnished with tears)- because they can.

With some, you will be playing mental chess. So you need to be on the ball. And Uranus in 8th helps to get clarity and getting a "one up" on seemingly complex subjects.

I like nursing because I would be able to help others. Being a service to others I like the idea of being able to help people. I like helping the elderly or people who are ill. I think Psychology is interesting I like learning about how the mind works. Being able to understand why a person acts a certain way or why they experience certain things.

I think bc your venus is in a mutable sign and it rules your MC you have a harder time making up your mind with career matters, I can relate, I am that way in the love department but when it comes to career stuff I have venus in LEO in the 8th conjunct Mars ruling my MC so I was always fixed in that regard.

You can be an advocate, put advocate on the indeed search, you don't need a bachelor's degree for that which is a 4 year degree, you can be an advocate with a high school diploma, another option is getting a peer counseling certificate, again just a high school diploma but there is more to it (other requirements).

Social work is a 4 year degree total but maybe you already completed the core courses which are the first 2 years.

But CNA you would be amazing at it and I think is just two years and some places higher you and let you work for them while you are obtaining your CNA. Once you have your CNA you can get your nursing degree which is another 2 years.
