Joni Mitchell (November 7, 1943)

It’s a sad fact: we all get a little bit older everyday. Sometimes, we forget that, until we’re presented with photographic evidence of one of our favourite singer/songwriters. Here is Joni Mitchell:

The timing is considered excellent, as it is ‘from memory’. Well, perhaps, but anyone born at the top of the hour can confirm, the clock may have been rounded up (or back) 15 minutes by the person whose job it was to note the time down. There are two connected inconjuncts, highlighting the Moon and the Midheaven..

Moon Inconjunct Jupiter

This aspect indicates that you have a positive, optimistic outlook on life, and you enjoy socializing with good friends. However, there are some dangers with this aspect. First, it can be a sign that you are self-indulgent and possibly even selfish, although this is not likely to happen if you have a good, strong relationship with your mother. You have a great need to be cared for and supported, to be accepted for what you are with no strings attached. If this need is fulfilled, the positive side of this aspect will flourish.

If you feel emotionally secure and accepted, you will be able to give others the support that you would otherwise have been seeking for yourself. You will help others in their times of need, share what you have with those who have less, and find great satisfaction in taking care of people and animals.

Jupiter Inconjunct Midheaven

The problem with this aspect is to find a balance between, on the one hand, expressing yourself creatively, perhaps artistically, and having a good time and, on the other hand, getting ahead in life, learning the ways of the world and finding an acceptable role in society. You know you will have to make sacrifices in order to accomplish anything of value.

Moon Conjunct Midheaven

Your emotions are very powerful, and you are quite sensitive to the feelings of others as well. What happens while you are young will have a very strong effect on your future life, so that the attitudes and habits that you pick up now will be very hard to change as you get older. It is also likely that the career you choose will be greatly influenced by your present ideas now.

This placement can indicate that in your career you will work with the public or large groups of people.
