I’m still sorry for the misunderstanding…again forgive me.
Ptolemy chapter about profession to me it’s very difficult and moreover I believe in it there are some traces of hellenistic astrology and paranatellonta and sphaera barbarica.

I gave a look to the chart, both Mercury and Venus are vespertine, and Moon is separating from Mercury sextile.
Mercury is in Venus sign so I believe that you really desired study art.

And Mercury in a sign of Saturn gives the attitude to be a good astrologer.
“Centiloquium, 38. When Mercury shall be well fortified or placed in either of the houses of Saturn in any one’s nativity, the native hath a divining soul, and is capable of prying far into matters”

Hi Margherita,
ofcourse you know my profession and going by Ptolemy’s rules, it is like inevitable I should have become an astrologer (at age of 24!).
Even so, also corroborated by his rules, I have always been attracted to the arts (becoming a ballet-dancer or going to art-school was denied by my parents.
And as for becoming a magician: I studied the western magical tradition at the age of 18-23, but never did anything with it in practice; nowadays: I have already realised some astrological talismans, intending to go further along that path. Also painting has become more and more important as I age.
For those who want to check Ptolemy’s “rules” cited here, these are the data:
sept 24, 1954; 10:10 AM central european time; wilrijk (antwerp), Be (51n10, 4e24)d
It is wonderfull thanks to your article, to find such confirmation on this all too important aspect of life!
