I accidentally omitted Astrology from my own list. I began studying that at fourteen for a while. What is your Sun, Ascendant and Moon, if I may ask?

Doubly Arian, triply Martian. An indomitable combination.

Edit: looking at your chart, I see you were born only 21 days after myself.
You have the stellium in the fourth house whereas my fifth house is accentuated.

My 9 planets seem to be all concentrated in 4 signs. I guess that describes me somewhat. But... Capricorn?

Plants, especially...
Japanese Maples (Acer palmatum) - I have around 70 varieties, mostly growing in pots
Snowdrops (Galanthus) - I have about 60 varieties (one special snowdrop bulb [sadly not mine!] went for £360 on eBay last week!)

I love Japanese maples too. I only have three, but they are all over 40 years old. Would love to ask you some questions as to their care.
