1. Clinical psychologist: A clinical psychologist gets a PHD, but getting into the programs for this is more competetive than med school. Its an extremely versatile and highly regarded degree that allows one to do anything from counseling to research to teaching. Specializations include youth, drug/alcohol, elders, neuropsychology and many others.

2.Therapist: A therapist these days usually gets a PSY D and receives some of the training a clinical psychologist gets, but does not do research. A PSY D usually becomes a therapist but can do many differnet types of therapy on many differt groups.

3. Naturopathic Doctor: There are only 4 accredited schools for this in the US, 1 in Ontario Canada (Pix ), anyway these are trained like medical school doctors for the first 2 years, then learn all kinds of eastern/natural techniques, are trained in chi, accupuncutre, reiki, and all that other great stuff.

All of these sound like possibilities to me, I know I want to heal, I m'just not sure which area to go into yet??

Any advice would be welcome! Heres my birthtime if anyones feelings REALLY generous:

Other than that, go wherever the spirit moves you.

I was going to get a BA in psychology but then I changed it to a minor. I'm still debating going to grad school for it though... I seriously considered forensic psychology, focusing on the clinical aspect of things. Hmmm...

Go big or go home. Funny, you are exactly a month older than me. One month and two hours, actually.

Good luck in whatever you choose, the right path will make itself clear.

Yeah, this last eclipse was interesting, though not too exciting for me. It left me pretty mentally and physically drained. It fell in my third house so....makes sense.

I have no idea how the upcoming full moon eclipse will play out. It's landing smack dab in the middle/opposite of my Merc/Chiron conjunction in the third house in Taurus, so who knows?

I'm glad you have found some direction and had a few great realizations. It's always nice when that happens. Where are these eclipses hitting your chart I wonder?

The eclipse left me quite drained as well, had to do with my ex etc.

The eclipse fell in my 3rd house too.....remember we have the same asc

What I meant was that since it's a full moon eclipse (an opposition of the sun and moon), the Sun part of it is falling right in between my Merc/Chiron conjunction. But the actual Lunar half of the eclipse is falling in my 9th house. I think this one will bring some interesting communications or contacts.

I've read that people should guard their health and take it easy during eclipse times. Especially when it's hitting natal planets. They can sometimes cause health problems or just drain you of energy. Sounds like we both felt that aspect of it.
