Can you tell us which aspects of a chart indicate a “hero’s journey?”

I stated, my chart strongly indicates I’m on a “Hero’s Journey”. I have little choice, but to live way I do.

Astrological Mars is represents a hero. The 9th house and Jupiter are concerned with travels or journeys; seeking “higher ground” in general. Storytelling also falls in this realm.

I have Mars in my 9th house. It’s conjunct Mercury, ruler of my sun (vital life energy). Consequently, I shine (sun), in this role. I’m always traveling, always on a quest, always want to expand my horizons.

I also have Jupiter in the Mars-ruled first house, which repeats the theme. I’m literally designed, not just to live courageously, but to tell or write stories; to broadcast my experience.

Jupiter in Aries, Mars in Sagittarius are other markers. Any Mars/Jupiter mashup. The more signatures in your chart, the stronger the energy.

The energy is restless. The experience is the thing. It’s doesn’t particularly matter if the experience is good or bad or easy or hard. It’s irrelevant in the scheme of things.

I often refer to the title story of my book, Heaven, I Mean Circle K to illustrate this, but I can vividly recall, being four years old, on a campaign to go to school. I didn’t manage to get there until I was five, but I taught myself to read, in the meantime. I’m driven to take my chances and push beyond my current status.
