1. 'You are/can be the mistress of re-invention and this is   a wonderful gift because it means that you will always present a fresh and exhilarating personality, transformation is pretty much a constant in your life.  However, as well adapted as you are to change, you can be very fixed about your own ideas and the way you express them - call them blind spots because that is what they are.  I can see that you have had a struggle with other people's points of view, especially if they are in direct opposition to your own.  This goes way back to schooling, paternal influence, or siblings and the way you have been forced into a pattern of thinking that did not equate with your own free spirit.  This may be a repeated pattern throughout your life because you will not compromise for fear of compromising yourself.  The way through this is to try and step back and look at the type of communication between you and those whom you think have had a negative effect on you.  Try to take the intensity out of the equation, although this is hard for a Mercury in Scorpio individual, certainly look at it and lessen it, you need to see both sides of a situation and even if you are eventually found to be 'right', don't distance yourself from the person whom you have proved 'wrong'.  You have the power within you to be just the kind of representative needed in this 'new-age' - a practical idealist - this requires nurturing because it can bring together two differing ideas which would be invaluable in forming a bridge between the 'old world' and the 'new world' we have entered'.

'Your Progressed Sun at 16 degrees 29 minutes is on the verge of entering the 3rd cusp of your birth chart which is the House of the Mind.  This is subtle energy that you may not notice happening because it is the beginning of a long and slow moving added dimension to your identity and creative expression.  It doesn't change this but it does create a new responsiveness.  A move into any 'House' (a field of activity within you) by a Progressed Sun, Moon or Planet is a significant event because it has taken years for its (your) development.  For you, this movement means more of a focus on your communications network, revising ideas, how to bring the winds of change into your everyday life which will benefit from it.  It's not so much a conscious observation as a movement within you that absorbs these needs and changes.  It can be termed a connection between heart and mind which will support your feelings and therefore the lives of those in your everyday orbit.  You are a warm and generous person, helpful and concerned and always ready with the willing gesture, this already burns brightly through your Sagittarian Sun, all these things are not in question.  However, you are restless, the gypsy of the zodiac and it's time to change the pace and the direction and Progressed Sun will give you new ideas about how and where and even with whom. It is about making the mind and the heart work together and not separate out so that they become individual identities, as sometimes happen with you.  It's a bit like the present Age of Aquarius which is so concerned with head trips that invent new technology, new science, new ways of doing things.  It becomes automatic, robotic even, a cyber age that communicates through a chip but it has no heart: the personal is lost and the impersonal takes over.  You are no micro chip and you certainly have a big heart so Progressed Sun can help you to identify what you need to do to give you a greater sense of commitment to a cause, whether this is something on a humanitarian level or a personal level and I think it will do both.
