Happy Friday! It's time for another astro observation post. Today we are talking about asteroid Bella 695 when you look it up on a chart calculator.
In astrology Bella literally translates to beautiful. This asteroid shows where your physical beauty stands out the most, what makes you visually attractive to people and how your natural charm showsup, you know......all aesthetics and pretty privilege
Bella in an earth sign like Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, your attractiveness has a very natural grounded feel. Clear skin, warm undertones and an effortless everyday style that always looks put together
If you have Bella in a fire sign like Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, people notice your fitness, your posture, and your energy right away. You look athletic or have a confident presence that catches attention the second you walk into a room
Air signs like Gemini, Libra, Aquarius give Bella a sharp, symmetrical, and trendy vibe. People with these placements have great bone structure, clean facial features, and look amazing in modern fashion, I know you'd think the same about Capricorn too
Water signs like Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces give you a softer....quieter look. Big expressive eyes and a calm vibe that pulls people in without you trying at all.....you guys are so cute 🐥

When Bella in the 7th house, you naturally fit the beauty standards of the people around you, and romantic partners find your facial features especially attractive and balanced
In the 12th house, you might not realize how attractive you actually are. Other people definitely see a dreamy, charming quality in you, but you might be modest or shy about compliments. YOU'RE PRETTY AF!!!
Me to the 12th housers:
Now listen when Bella touches your Sun or Rising sign, good looks are just part of who you are. You carry yourself well and taking care of your appearance is second nature to you
A conjunction or trine between Bella and Venus is the pretty privilege aspect. It makes your overall vibe smooth, attractive, and super easy on the eyes. People just enjoy looking at you 👀 I'm staring
Bella squares or opposes Mars, your attractiveness can actually intimidate people. You might also go through phases where you change your hair or wardrobe drastically whenever you feel frustrated or want a fresh start

Pick a pile: The Mark of the Dragon: What test is Hecate putting you through at your current crossroads?
Before you begin: Draconian energies are heavy and difficult. You may read things you don't like. The Draconian path is dark and will drag you through the mud. Reading a pick-a-card won't change your life, but it can confront you with things you don't want to face. I speak from my own experience. Now that you've been warned, it's up to you.
Pile 1: 2 of wands, king of swords and knight of wands.
The test Hecate presents at your current crossroads is the transition from theory to action without losing your strategy. The Goddess is challenging you to stop planning in the shadows and to wield your power with a cool head, cutting ties with what's holding you back and launching yourself passionately toward your true destiny.
Hecate tells you: "You've already accumulated enough power and knowledge; you're on the threshold, but staying there staring at the map for fear of making a mistake is called stagnation."
You're truly facing a test of pure discernment. It's tough, because you might suddenly feel a lack of support, but you have to prove yourself.
The test consists of daring to ignite your inner fire and defend your sovereignty tooth and nail, moving swiftly toward your goals without looking back. It's something you can do, and remember that sometimes failing is exactly what you need to learn more and become better. So don't be afraid; the worst that can happen is that you gain a lot of experience.
Pile 2: The magician, the hanged man and 4 of swords.
Okay, what I'm about to tell you isn't something I know how to do, but it's what I see in the cards. It's what neuroscience calls the hypnagogic state or dream incubation. Hecate is the queen of the night, of dreams, and of the underworld, so she asks you to work while you sleep (it sounds strange, I know).
The test Hecate sets for you is strategic surrender and manifestation through rest. The Goddess is asking you to stop fighting against the current with physical force, to design your desire in the mental plane, and to surrender to silence and sleep so that the universe can pull the strings for you.
You have all the tools, the power, and the elements to manifest your reality. But you shouldn't do this actively; instead, you should think about and mentally design what you want first. It's as if you're creating a mental program to be able to receive everything you wish to manifest. This is a challenge in Draconian magic, but it represents the sacrifice of the rational and coherent mind. This is the one that usually guides you, and yet they ask you to trust blindly.
It's possible that this is a request made because you have learned ideas or beliefs that go against what you want to manifest, which is why your mind can't actively achieve those things. Like those people who believe that rich people are bad, therefore they can't become rich because they consider themselves good people.
This doesn't appear in the reading, but I recommend that you investigate these possible beliefs within yourself and quell them. Changing your mindset is useful for becoming more versatile. In any case, it's not what this reading is about; this reading tells you that God will provide and you must trust.
Pile 3: 9 of wands, the emperor and 7 of cups.
At your current crossroads, you must learn to distinguish true intuition from your own escapist fantasies and tear down the defensive walls that isolate you from the world. The Goddess challenges you to stop idealizing a perfect future so you can begin building a real, structured, and secure present.
You have fought so hard that you now see phantoms where there is nothing. It's difficult because you haven't had an easy past, but that's not happening now. That's why Hecate tells you: "Being defensive isn't power, it's fear. Your test is to learn to lower your defenses without feeling vulnerable." The Goddess asks you to stop acting erratically or reactively. You need to bring order to your material life, your schedule, your finances, and your personal boundaries. It is the earth dragon reminding you that magic needs solid roots to manifest.
Hecate places her torches before you to dispel the fog that may appear after the struggle. It's testing you: will you choose the comfortable fantasy or the uncomfortable reality you need to sort out? Finding the balance between intuition, reality, and attitude is sometimes complex. But you must stay grounded, root yourself in reality, and without losing sight of who you are and what you want, remember that you are here and now. I believe this is a perpetual learning process; I'm still on that path every day, so I understand you perfectly.
2 of Wands. Bottom of the Deck: The World. Top of the Deck: Ace of Swords.
It may be time to take a risk, a calculated risk, but a risk all the same. Be honest with yourself about what you are and are not willing to lose on this journey.
One thing I don't think gets talked about enough in astrology is just how much your rising degree can change the way you experience your rising sign. Two people can have the exact same rising sign and still move through life very differently because the degree adds another layer to the story. In this post, I dive into how your rising degree can show up in everything from your childhood and first impressions to your relationships, life lessons, and the kinds of new chapters you're constantly being pushed toward. Click here for the 2nd part.
Rising at 0°
When you have a rising sign at 0°, I'd say that you have one of the most unique experiences in this lifetime because you're embodying the purest or rawest expression of the rising sign. This is because it is the pure energy of the sign that it dwells in. Having this degree will usher in new beginnings to your life pretty regularly. You are somebody who will have to be very courageous in this life or will feel the need to be fiercely independent, and your life motto could honestly be that you'll figure it out by trying! You are somebody who learns better through experience rather than preparation from other people, so you can learn faster by jumping into something instead of waiting for somebody to guide you through it. First impressions with you definitely seem to be enthusiastic. People feel like you are very energetic, curious, genuine, and youthful. You might be the kind of person that people will say you are willing to try anything, because it's true! In your relationships, you value honesty and excitement, and you're probably always looking for a new adventure with your person. You hate control and dishonesty, and unnecessary routines. In your childhood, you were very naturally curious and fearless about trying new things. You might not have always thought before acting, but usually things worked out for you, and that was how you were meant to go about learning in your childhood. You had a very strong imagination as well, and people could see that you had a fighter spirit before you could. You would volunteer first, and you would want to get ahead of things first. You made friends very easily, but you definitely struggle with patience. Over the years, your identity develops through trying and failing over and over, but this strengthens your courage to try something new, and you become more authentic because you're not afraid to try and fail. You know exactly what you are capable of. A big life lesson here is that you should slow down and ask for guidance. You have a lot of dreams that you will accomplish, but you can't do it overnight. Be mindful of not being too impatient because you will rush decisions that you'll regret. Try not to trust too easily or underestimate challenges. You could be kind of cocky and think you can handle everything, and life will show you that you cannot. Some really good career paths for you could be entrepreneurship, running startups, sports, emergency services, technology, product design, or advocacy work.
Rising at 1°
You are fiercely independent, and out of a group of people, you would definitely be considered the self-starter! Your confidence is contagious and very noticeable; you are definitely not afraid to learn through trial and error, and this makes people admire you very much! Upon first impressions, people will definitely see how determined you are based on how you go after your goals, they will see how ambitious you are, how motivated you can be, and how direct you are. People like being around you because you're confident and because you know what you're doing, and because people like a good leader lol. As a child, you could have definitely been expecting to become more independent, or you were just put in the position to be the one who has it all together. Older people or parents could have frequently told you to figure it out by yourself, which you did, but that has definitely turned you into somebody who is an extreme go-getter, and it has definitely made it very hard for you to relax. Your life lessons definitely seem to be about being more patient with yourself and with others, accepting and asking for help when you need it, and thinking before acting because with this degree, you can definitely try to be ahead of your time in a bit impulsive, and you appear very confident. When you're struggling, you'll become restless, especially if you are feeling stagnant in life. You give off a very energetic and welcoming first impression, and people typically remember you upon first meeting. You are somebody who starts new chapters often, or may have had to, and so this makes you very comfortable with taking risks and with rapid change because maybe that was your normal. You definitely learned how to be confident through action because you had no choice, and though this might not be a universal experience, you could have moved away from home relatively young, so you might struggle with feeling comfortable staying in one place, and a life theme could be seeking safety or the feeling of home. Some good career paths for you would be in the realm of management, sales, athletics, emergency services, military, politics, law, engineering, product development, and business ownership.
Rising at 2°
You can definitely have a very calming demeanor, and you're very reliable, especially upon first meeting you. People really like you because of how patient and grounded you can present yourself to be, especially in times of chaos. You're somebody who enjoys the simple things, values comfort, and honors security. You definitely value building up connections and finding a balance in those connections. Themes of self-worth and developing your talents might be repeated throughout your life until you feel secure in these aspects. Creating stability and receiving support could also be another challenge in your life that you will eventually accomplish with a steadfast mindset. When you were younger, you might have had the value instilled in you that routines were very important, and you carried that on into your adulthood. You were probably more observant than immediately reactive, and you were very sensitive to your surroundings. You would definitely notice the little things that people wouldn't, and it could have been anything from a change in energy between your parents, your space not being tidy or kept up, or just the simple things that are more felt rather than said. You picked up on these things very easily, and it made you feel uneasy. To feel secure as a child, you could have attached favorite objects places, or routines to have deep and emotional meaning to you, and it could have been very hard to part ways with some of the things that you had such emotional attachments to. You could have had a very strong attachment to your home, home life, or familiar environments, so moving away later on in life could have been a point of contention for you. You might even feel like your upbringing felt kind of slow-moving, but really, you are developing very steadily and very healthily (most likely), even if you felt behind. You could have had a lot of life experiences that forced you to learn how to be persistent, and this could look like rejection from places, people, or things that you thought were once good for you. Some rejection can actually lead to you building confidence over time, but the downside is that if you face any disappointment in life, it might take you a lot longer to trust people than most. You are somebody who is very selective with who you want in your world as well, so you value long-term friendships and you only really hold on to relationships if they are substantial and layered. Some life lessons that you'll have to learn are definitely to embrace change, because for you, change could be inevitable. You have to learn how to be a little bit flexible and not compare yourself to somebody else's journey, and you have to let go of perfectionism because your life path was not meant to look like somebody else's, and what you have to offer is more than enough as it is. As I have mentioned, you are slow to trust others, but you are extremely loyal once you do. You're somebody who might like a more practical appearance and style as well, and you hate being rushed! A great career path could involve relationship building, art and design, finance, beauty industries, counseling, human resources, teaching, and wellness.

This gives, don't shoot the messager 100%. For you, communication and being social is very important! You are like a natural social chameleon, and you truly enjoy connecting with others through communication because it allows you to be playful and imaginative. You also know how to command attention due to your natural storytelling abilities. You are somebody who definitely needs to express themselves and will, regardless of whether anybody is listening or not! You are quite talkative and curious, and very expressive with your body language and even your facial expressions. When you were younger, you asked endless questions and probably annoyed the crap out of people lol. You could have had a love for reading or storytelling, and you were a very quick learner, especially through conversation. You could have also had a lot of acquaintances growing up, as well as being surrounded by a lot of family members, cousins, neighbors, friends from the neighborhood, etc. You could also have some tension with neighbors, friends, and cousins, and this could be a repeated life theme until you settle your differences with them. You may also have an affinity for writing, speaking, or social media because you're constantly gathering information, and you are the kind of person who just knows everything all the time. You're multifaceted so you definitely have several hobbies that you try to give equal attention to! Some life lessons that you have to learn are the art of staying focused on one thing at a time, following through with the plan that you set forward, and listening as much as you speak! It is also okay to just let yourself be quiet because your value isn't only in what you have to say; sometimes it's the way that you process and sit with the information. Some things that you should certainly be cautious about involve overdependence or relying on others for reassurance way too much. Try to work on your fear of making decisions alone, and try not to seek approval before trusting your own choices. On the bright side, you are super funny and the jokester of your friend group and family. A great career path for you would be writing, journalism, teaching, marketing, media, social media, language learning, public speaking, sales, acting, or communications.
Rising at 4°
Your family is a major theme in your life, and you are very family-oriented! Upon first meeting you, you are definitely more private and a little harder to get to know, but you do give off a very comforting energy to strangers. People feel a desire to trust you because, although you might be a little mysterious, you're also soft. You're very emotionally observant as well, which could be because of your childhood. Your family had a major influence on your upbringing, and it definitely led to how you view your home life now and how your home life is deeply intertwined with your identity. You could have been brought up in a very emotionally sensitive atmosphere, or you were very sensitive to the situation in your home. At some point, you could have definitely felt responsible for your loved ones, even if it would have made no sense for you to be responsible for them. You may have felt like the emotional anchor in your family, which could have been very hard because when you needed somebody to give you a break, it was almost like you were expected to do the hard things because you were the “strong one”. Some life lessons definitely involve having stronger boundaries, and especially stronger emotional boundaries. You're also meant to learn how to be independent from your family or your family's expectations because they will just never align with what you truly need. But beyond that, you love hard, and you're very protective of your loved ones. You are like an onion; people have to peel your layers to get to know you! Some good career paths for you are teaching, communication, advising, research, surveying, advocacy work, and lobbying.
Rising at 5°
When your rising is at the 5th degree, you are craving an adventure! Your soul lives for freedom and will accept nothing less, and this is because you are somebody who is not afraid to take risks and somebody who is not afraid to embrace change! When you were younger, you could have been seen as energetic and adventurous, maybe too energetic! You were the curious Explorer of the family, so you might have stories of how you would wander off to see what's going on somewhere else! You could have been rambunctious, enjoyed games, sports or imaginary play! You could've been a rebel and could have disliked strict rules, and maybe didn't really follow them. As you got older, you could have definitely sought excitement in places that you probably shouldn't have, and you could have taken your fun a little too far. But you have always been multifaceted and interested in multiple different things, so you could have made a lot of changes to your appearance, the way that you carry yourself, your hair, etc. You may also be very into travel and could have had a lot of experiences where you were able to travel on a whim or could have experienced new things on accident! I'd say that you have a lot of luck regarding travel in general. As you get older, you will notice that you are very charismatic and that your social presence is very powerful. Important life lessons involve committing to something meaningful to your life, to specific people, and to specific movements that fulfil your soul. Another important lesson is to find a balance between freedom and responsibility, and sometimes this will come about through having children, as children are a big theme with this degree. Nonetheless, your charisma and fun-loving nature will lead to a lot of social grace and blessings, but you have to be mindful of restlessness. A good career path for you would involve leadership, entrepreneurship, performance, management, acting, Broadway, etc.
Rising at 6°
Service and responsibility are major themes of your life, as well as your health and hard work. Upon first meeting you, people can see how truly generous and caring you are as a person. You are very giving, and you're the kind of person who would literally give the shirt off your back to a stranger. You are a hard worker because you have had to be, and this could be due to some inherited perfectionism that you will have to regularly work through throughout life. In your childhood, you were given an unreasonable amount of responsibility for a kid. You were expected to learn to care for others, learn the needs of other people, and then put them above yours, etc. You may have been praised for being so dependable, but on the flip side, you may have also not been recognized for all of the ways that you have given your energy to help somebody else. If you are being praised for being dependable, you might not be recognized for how strenuous your work can be on your energy. Sometimes, being giving could feel very thankless, and you could struggle with that because on the one hand, you are truly selfless…but, you're also human, and it would be nice to be recognized for all of the effort that you do for others. Some personal experiences that you might find yourself in involve finding your purpose in service or helping others. You might find it very fulfilling to volunteer your time at homeless shelters or animal shelters, etc. You definitely notice things that people miss, which could be a superpower of yours and something that other people admire. A big lesson for you is to avoid burnout and allow imperfection because you are human! Prioritize taking care of yourself; other people can figure it out without you for a couple of minutes. Good career paths could involve the health service, human services, analysis, organization, administration, HR, intervention therapist, etc.
Rising at 7°
You or somebody who is definitely very observant of your environment. Upon first meeting you, people view you as analytical and quiet, but very confident. What's interesting about you is that you could be studying for other people, but you're very modest about this. You might not even realize how attractive or visually appealing you are to other people until they say something to you because your mindset is not thinking about things like that. You're mysterious because you hide your cards, and you're a very good listener, which has helped you tremendously not to act before thinking. When you were younger, you definitely enjoyed being alone, and you may have even felt different from your peers. You had an interest in understanding how things work, so you might have been very philosophical or spiritual, which could have alienated you further. You have a very strong inner world, which is why you are totally fine with being on your own, but there does need to be a healthy balance of community and independence, and you might struggle with finding that. You draw people who seek advice because you're somebody who can see all perspectives and can give the appropriate advice for any situation. People often remember you because of the meaningful conversations they have with you. For instance, you could encourage people to leave toxic or abusive relationships, you could encourage people to start businesses, etc. Whatever it is, your advice is life-changing, and people come to you for that. A life lesson that you must really learn is to let yourself open up emotionally and realize that you're not just a walking DSM-5…you're not only here to help other people, nor are you only here to make superficial connections, so try to trust others and avoid isolation as much as you can. Some good career paths for you would be working in law, consulting, politics, advocacy work, having your own non-profit, etc.
Rising at 8°
You can most definitely have an intense presence, at least when people first meet you. But you don't even try. Your energy commands attention without you trying, actually. You're somebody who's just naturally very good at having strong boundaries, which commands a lot of respect from different types of people. You are definitely seen as quite ambitious, emotionally resilient, and people either admire you or fear you, depending on their attitudes toward you. Sometimes, you can appear older or more mature, but this could also just be your style preferences as well. When you were younger, you may have had to mature more quickly, which is probably why you come off as older. You have encountered a lot of situations that made you build resilience, even if you weren't ready for them. I've also noticed that you could have had a very hard relationship with your mother or a mother figure early on; she could have been out of reach, absent, or struggling in some way that made it hard for you to connect with her. Your childhood was all about power dynamics and control, unfortunately, but it made you somebody who is very hyper aware of your surroundings and very hyper aware of yourself and your needs, which is why you have such strong boundaries. However, because of your experiences that you went through very young, you often feel very misunderstood and like there is a missing piece to your puzzle. You're given a lot of personal experiences where you have to rely on your intuition, especially when it comes to other people. You go through very deep transformations regarding relationships, because you tend to attract very intense relationships that were brought into your world to teach you a lesson. The lessons that you have to learn this lifetime involve letting yourself be truly vulnerable, trusting others, and letting go of control. Some other lessons that you might have to learn or reconcile with our that of your mother wounds and your desire to either be a mother or connect with your mother. Having this degree on your rising can be hard because you go to so many different phases in life that other people would probably not be able to get through as efficiently as you did. Good career choices for you would be in the business of finance, psychology, investigation, transformational work, rehab, drug and alcohol counseling, activities organizer at retirement homes, hospitals, rehab centers, etc.
Rising at 9°
You are definitely super optimistic as a person, you love to learn, and you are very open-minded. You're somebody who has an endless Bank of stories that would send the average person into outer space just based on how crazy these stories are! This is because you're somebody who lives for a good time and is definitely here to make the most of the time you have! You're curious about cultures, other people's way of life, old ancient texts, different spiritual practices, etc. You might even have a deep desire to be a teacher, or you gravitate towards figures who are mentors in your life. Nonetheless, you typically have a very positive outlook on life, even if you know that life can be messy and complicated. A lot of people can underestimate your intelligence because they think that your wit might have you ignore reality, but you are the kind of person who absolutely knows that the world is on fire, but you also know that there is a lot of love and beauty left in the world too. When you were younger, your curiosity about the world may have made you a teacher's pet lol. You loved to learn beyond school subjects, so you probably had a very used Library card! But even as a kid, you were interested in travel and experiencing different ways of life and this has turned you into a lifelong learner! You may have lived in different states or countries just to experience this desire for change, and you might have even taught different demographics of people or worked as a teacher or mentor in different states/countries. Some life lessons for you definitely involve grounding your big ideas into action. You're somebody who has such a gifted imagination, and with the right motivation and plan, you can create amazing things. Another important lesson is to find a balance between optimism and realism because while it is super important to understand that life is not so black and white and that there is a silver lining, you also need to be realistic about your next moves forward. You might struggle with being too idealistic, especially when you need to have a solid plan in place.

Having your rising at 10 degrees could definitely make you the achiever of your group. You are somebody with a very professional image or first impression, and you could be even a little intimidating because of this. However, your scene is very ambitious, and somebody who has a lot of leadership qualities. People can certainly respect you, but also not know how to approach you because you might come off as a little unapproachable. In childhood, there could have been expectations for you to succeed to the point where I felt almost impossible. This is because you were made aware of what your reputation meant and what it should look like from a very young age. While other kids were exploring their interests and learning more about themselves through fun and childlike activities, you were probably learning how to get things done, how to be more of a leader, and how to stay on top of your tasks to gain recognition. You could have definitely had helicopter parents, our parents that really pushed you to succeed in school because they wanted to maintain a good reputation. On the subject of reputation, your family could have been very reputation-oriented, so you might have felt external pressure to keep up with that strong public image that you set out to have. On the plus side, though, you are very comfortable with responsibility, you are very rational, especially during times of crises, and you have become somebody who is very dependable. Some life lessons for you involve separating your worth from this idea of achievement and perfection, and making time for your personal life. If there's one thing that you might struggle with, it is finding a balance between fun and a genuine connection with work and climbing a social ladder. You are seen as “the capable one” in your group of friends or in your family, which could be a strength of yours, but also something that feels like a blockage to your personal healing because you might feel like you are “too strong” to need help. The problem is that you think that you're incompetent when you're struggling, and for starters, there's nothing wrong with not having it all together all the time, and you're not incompetent if you need a little help. Some ideal career paths for you would be working in government, business, authority roles, strategy, analytics, financing, stock exchange, etc.

You are somebody who really values being an individual and not really going with the flow. You don't like following the crowd, and you are labeled as the different one both in your friend dynamics and in your family home, and you are okay with that! You're somebody who could be very used to being an independent thinker and having ideas that might seem outlandish to others. This is the land that you thrive in, being different and original! People admire your visionary ways because you inspire others to think outside the box and to think bigger than the small scope that they know. You're very original, and you express your originality through your looks, so you could be the kind of person who takes a lot of fashion risks, has a very specific fast choice that people tend to know you for, or you just truly enjoy switching up your physical expression often. When you were younger, you definitely felt unconventional and might have had unusual interest. You might not have been interested in things that were gender specific, so if you are someone who identifies as a woman, you might not have always been into activities “for girls” like playing with dolls, or doing your makeup, etc. The same can be said if you are a man, perhaps you don't like the stereotypical male-dominated sports, or you didn't like playing with toys or things made for boys, etc. Something about you was unique to you as a child, and so you might have had to find community outside of your traditional social circles or outside of school. Some life experiences that you go through could be that because you're so different over time, you build diverse friendships. You might deal with having a group of 10 friends one day, to having two friends the next, and so on and so forth. Lots of different changes come about regarding your friends and the way that they treat you, and the lesson here is to find the balance between individuality and belonging. It's okay to be different; you should not shrink yourself to fit in with other groups of people. However, you must be patient when others don't immediately understand your ideas. Some good career paths for you would involve technology, innovation, creating apps, social issues, community work, advocacy work, a lawyer, or any kind of justice work. Social media will also be very fruitful as well.

You have incredible empathy, and you give off a very gentle energy. When people first meet you, they feel like you are a very soft, kind, and considerate person. You're the person who's always at the right place at the right time, especially when somebody needs comfort, and a lot of people think of you in high regard based on the way that you were there for that. You're also very creative and highly artistic, or using your art as a way to channel your spirituality. You're also somebody who's extremely sensitive to your surroundings, both literally and energetically, and you could be someone of a psychic. When you were younger, you were most definitely seen as a very sensitive kid with a rich imagination. You are very sensitive to the environment you grew up in, as well as sensitive to the tension in your home. You could have a complicated relationship with your father because of this, as he could have been less compassionate and more nitpicky or aggressive in some situations. Nonetheless, you have become somebody who holds a lot of emotional space for others, has learned through emotional experiences, and is somebody who definitely needs to strengthen emotional boundaries or establish healthy boundaries. You could also need a long time to recharge more than others because you're so sensitive to your environment, and because you can pick up on negative energies very easily. It is important to take care of yourself and to maintain a healthy routine when you have this degree because you can definitely absorb other people's emotions and start feeling what other people feel to the point where you're not sure if it's your own feelings or other people's. When you keep a healthy spiritual routine on top of healthy boundaries, you can avoid taking on personalities, roles, and energy that do not belong to you. You are definitely here to help heal others, but it should not be at the expense of your own emotional well-being and empathy. Be mindful of when you are feeling stagnant or apathetic; that is when change is necessary. I've also noticed that you leave a lasting impression on people, even if you're not in their lives for a very long time. People don't forget about the way that you were there for them, the way you show them compassion when others did not, and how you ultimately helped change their lives. Some ideal professions for you would be in the industry of healing, which could be spiritual or psychological healing. A creative job would also be very fruitful, selling your artwork, having your own online store, spiritual boutique, etc., would bring in lots of success. Being a spiritual leader, psychic healer, tarot reader, or somebody comfortable doing behind-the-scenes work, but also suits you well.

You have had a life of change and reinvention and resilience, and it might even show in your energy. Upon first meeting you, people feel like you are very self-confident and unafraid of hard work and being persistent. You could be viewed as quite intense, mature, or strong-willed as well. People admire your strengths a lot because they see that you have grown through challenges that felt above and beyond your control. As a child, you may have felt like you had to grow up in stages rather than steadily, and this is because a lot of what was going on in your life felt like you couldn't control it. This could look like you having to start over by moving several times in your life, starting over at New schools, reinventing your hobbies, your friend groups, or your identity very quickly, etc. As a child, things felt less consistent than in adulthood because you may have felt like you didn't have the time to invest in yourself the way you wanted, your hobbies, or your friends. In your life, you're likely going to reinvent yourself physically multiple times, and you're going to do different things like go after polar opposite careers, achieve your goals more than the average person, and take risks that others might side-eye. People might even feel the need to comment on how often you change as a person. Life has just been so unpredictable that you sort of learn how to adapt to setbacks, and you know how to become who you want to become, regardless of the situation. An important life lesson for you is to learn that change does not mean failure. It's important to let go of what doesn't fit your life and to trust your ability to rebuild if you have been struggling with that. Oftentimes, growth comes after required endings, so it's important to know when it's time to walk away from things that aren't serving you. A good career path for you would involve research, engineering, problem-solving, specialized skills, computer/tech development, online surveying, tech startups, tech recovery business, etc.

Others often admire how well put together you are because you do like to look good! But you're definitely somebody was an inviting energy, and you're somebody who could connect to just about anybody! As a child, you usually were the person to try to keep the peace because you noticed tension between the people in your home. You could have definitely disliked arguments, and unfortunately, that could have been something that happened often, but this led you to learn how to read social cues very early on. You could have unfortunately had to live in survival mode as a child because the adults/parents around you were not very emotionally secure or stable. You are somebody who could become the mediator in your family dynamic, or in your friend group, and this could have been a thing since childhood as well. You attract partners into your life that are really meant to teach you how to balance yourself and how to understand that you can trust somebody else to take on some of the emotional weight. Life lessons come to you strongly when you have to cooperate rather than compete with others, and you might be in situations where you have to build connections with people who are vastly different from you. An important life lesson is that you have to remember you don't have to please everybody and that it is okay to have healthy boundaries for yourself. Sometimes you forget that you don't have to put other people's needs above yours, and that does not make you selfish. You can't pour from an empty cup just like you can't totally deplete yourself to hold somebody else up. Sometimes conflict can be productive; it doesn't always have to be a major point of contention. Beyond that, you are very well-liked, very charming, and very well-mannered. A good career path for you would involve any kind of art, design, beauty, branding, and creative industries.

Introspection is a powerful tool, but too much and you miss opportunities for help, collaboration, and the momentum to move along your path. Too little and you lose sight of that path.
