What are your strengths and talents ... what do you do really well? What are your weaknesses and challenges ... where do you need more work to strengthen yourself and how do you plan to do that? What are your values ... the things that you feel make life worth living ... the things you basically stand for in your life, beliefs, and behavior?
Are you introspective? Are you self aware? Can you make a list of the items I just noted? Do you work on self-improvement? Do you seek out opportunities to become better, become more authentic, become stronger, become better informed about the unique person you really are? Do you know what kind of impression you make on people? Do you understand your reactions to life ... why you choose the things you choose and do the things you do? Do you trust yourself to make wise, sensible decisions?
Do you consider yourself an actor, not a reactor, in your own life? Do you have the courage to make hard choices ... and if not, what stops you? Do you give yourself good advice ... and do you take it? Do you give effective leadership in your life management choices? Do you feel good about yourself? Do you like yourself? Do you feel good about your life direction ... do you like where you seem to be going? Do you have at least a reasonable idea of where that is? Do you trust yourself to figure out life problems when you come to yet another (oh-so-ubiquitous) "learning experience?" Do you feel you need a major change of focus?
Do you keep a journal? Do you make lists to keep track of responsibilities, schedule your time ... and capture your passing thoughts so they don't slip away unexamined forever? Do you set sensible self-care routines? Do you take decent care of your health ... diet ... stress management? Do you have productive hobbies and creative interests that engage you in joyful recreation ... and do these have enough priority in your life? Does your life have meaning and purpose? Do you feel that all things considered your life "makes sense?" Do you have a definite feeling of connection to a spiritual dimension greater than yourself?
Do you have a fairly good idea how the important "other people" in your life would describe you? What would they say? Do you agree with them? Do you feel they really know and care for you as a "human being" instead of simply as a "human doing" ... in the wonderful words of John Bradshaw? In other words, do you have people in your life who care about your happiness, success, and well-being ... more than simply "what you can do for them?"
If you find you have to pause and ponder the answers to these questions, that you really can't answer them with positive conviction that confirms self-awareness, self-knowledge, self-understanding ... it may be time to make yourself your Number One priority. Basically, you can make the choice now ... or you can wait until a real existential crisis strikes. Because I can guarantee both things in that last statement are true. You do get to choose your timing and your tactics. And if you have built a life without meaning, firm foundations, and good insight into your essential being, somewhere down Life's road, an existential crisis will hit you like a 2x4 ... smack between the eyes.
You can start building self-awareness in many ways ... and dabble in many fields. Eventually all things flow into one ... like the streams that feed the creeks that feed the rivers that flow into the sea ... which evaporates to make rain that feeds the streams. This is the marvelous cycle of Life's Creative Process. And if the time has come to better define who you are ... psychology, self-help therapies, journaling, personal counseling, spiritual studies of all sorts ... and most of all, a firm understanding of the information contained in your Natal Chart ... the literal blueprint of your soul ... is a place of unsurpassed excellence to start.
