Additional information supplied	Now that's what I call a good submission. By comparison, it makes most of the western submissions read as if they were submitted by walking corpses.

Swarupa, born in Madurai, India, in 1981 - additional information...

I am Swarupa. Swa means my own, independant, and Rupa means form. I am my own independent self. I believe that I am growing into my name, hence the explanation. I was named by an aunt. I was born premature with a problematic heart that characterised my early childhood. I was looked upon with sympathy as family and relatives thought I was weak. I knew I wasn't but took advantage of this sympathy as a child to gain attention or not refusing it when people showered it on me, much to the chagrin of my elder sibling. I was very terrified of the unknown as a child and wet the bed till I reached puberty. I was particularly very scared of my angry and violent father. I sought love outside my family as soon as I reached puberty. I attracted boys and found a sense of power over them as a result of my sexuality. I didn't however experience sexual intercourse until I was 16, with the boy who eventually became my husband (Aries). At age 12, I wrote a promiscuous letter to him which was read by my mother who showed it to my father who then thrashed me soundly. I became very cynical about belonging to my family since then. My love affair at age 16 caused torrents of dispute in my family as I disregarded tradition. We eventually settled in Australia after convincing all parties concerned that my relationship with my boyfriend was all important to me. We reached a consensus by agreeing to marry before we left home. Married life taught me many things, tolerance, patience, lessons in communication among them. Ultimately it reached an impasse. It was wrought with violence and irreconcilable differences. I made new relationships with men that didn't sit well with my husband. I tried to overcome doing it, but could not without feeling a sense of self-denial. I am currently in a relationship with an Aquarius sun, Cancer rising, beautiful soul. I'm generally very trusting of life and I have unshakeable belief in my abilities. I crave the need to be understood more than anything else. Out of this need I create quite a few messy life situations. But astrologically speaking, I'm on the right path with the right tools to find my greatest joy and peace here and now - when I remember to do so!
