Ever since I was a child, I have always had a strong desire to be in the public eye somehow. Whether if it was from music (which I have a deep love and appreciation for) or acting. Can indicators of fame and talents be seen in any of my charts?

I’ve always enjoyed playing instruments growing up and this is something that I would like to take seriously. Although I haven’t played in a while, I plan on fully immersing myself into practicing sometime next year (as well as taking acting classes)

Is it 7:08 or 7:18? I'm pretty sure you gave 7:18 before (and that's what I'm going with unless you correct me.

Your desire for it certainly shows. You were born at sunrise. Psychologically, Sun signifies the function that build our ego, i.e., distinguishes us as a particular person (on contrast to the herd-instincts of Moon). Therefore, this very strong Sun means a strong desire to be a particular, distinctive, distinguished somebody, and probably to stand in the limelight for it. You need to shine and have people recognize that you're shining!

Centricity and dignity are two of the most important keys to understanding a rising Sun. (The other is seeding, being a seminal force igniting others, having impact (planting seeds). Personally (one-on-one) and more publicly, you flourish when you are the center of someone's attention.

Fame itself is more complicated to judge from a chart. We all fail at numerous things before (and after) succeeding: That's the path to getting better at something. Similarly, different stages of life have rises and falls - that's natural - so it is really a function of predictive astrology, not natal astrology: Following your chart inch by inch through the rest of your life. (And the story changes with where you live at each step of the way.)

sun in Sagittarius will describe your particular way of doing this. Please reread the Sun in Sagittarius interpretation to which I gave you a link last time. (It's loaded with many small details that give nuance to what I'm about to say.) To bring it to this specific question, Sagittarius loves the theater, plus many Sagittarians do very well in music (do the names Presley, Page, and Bowie mean anything to you? <g>). We've seen many great Sagittarian orchestral conductors, the rise and fall of the baton and the surroundings of grandeur being natural to them. With your Capricorn Moon, however, I would expect something rawer and more animal-themed (or maybe bluesy) from you. Something with a definite "rough-edged bad girl" would seem to come naturally to you. (Reread the Moon in Capricorn page to which I pointed you before.)

You have several aspects in your charts that show strongly in very creative people who thrive in the arts - Moon conjunct Neptune and Venus conjunct Uranus, for example. Draw on your sorrows and disappointments. What else you need is some mix of enormous luck and enormous hard work. The luck factor in your chart is more in the way that your rising Sagittarius Sun draws people to center around you. Your Saturn (work), though not strong, des show a willingness to make sacrifices for what you want most. Your Mars brings plenty of energy to your chart.

OTOH, those same aspects - Moon-Neptune and Venus-Uranus - could derail your life. Let me be clear: The aspects wouldn't be doing the derailing; it would be you losing confidence or being indecisive. Everybody has to make their own choices, do the work, and pay their dues. If you make that commitment to yourself then, yes, your chart has all the markers of someone who can thrive creatively and on stage in drama or music.

I mentioned in earlier posts that your life is primed to make some dramatic changes that might uproot you, so maybe this is a time to dive in. (I haven't reworked looking ahead for you, so you might want to review the earlier thread for any timing we gave there.)

If you do relocate, your greatest chance of success is likely along the Jupiter setting line that runs through southern California, across lower Nevada very close to Vegas, near Salt Lake City, and then Montana. Somewhere in Orange County (e.g., Santa Ana but, really, the whole area) adds Pluto to the mix. It could be an important breakout location when you're ready. (Vegas is almost as good.)

Where do you plan to spend your upcoming birthday? (At home or travelling somewhere?) Let us know and we can take a look at your "birthday chart" (aka Solar Return) for the next year.

Thank you, this was very insightful! I hope to visit somewhere within my Jupiter line soon and possibly relocate there in the future. And yes, I will be spending my birthday in my hometown.
