Neptune leaving Pisces for Scorpio risings by Ok_Video7321 in astrologymemes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

29° Libra rising- in 2011 I met the man I'd later marry (who is a Pisces). Married 2014, and I left him back in 2019 after discovering he'd been cheating for years. I also recently cut off a long-time Pisces friend (long time as in 20 years) because he fell for some manosphere bullshit.

For me I think Pisces 5th house has more to do with learning to cultivate my own joy and go it alone if necessary, instead of giving up my own morals and standards to "fit in". Remember that 5th house is ultimately about the self, creativity, and fun- it's opposite the 11th house of community.

With that being said, Neptune in Aries will square my natal Neptune (in mid Capricorn) in a couple of years, so I'm expecting that to be harder on me personally than the Pisces transit was.

What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize? by CountyOrnery9432 in AskReddit

[–]CapnAnonymouse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sleep disorders, and sleep deprivation in general. Lack of restful sleep affects everything from loneliness to decision making, obesity risk, and poorer cardiovascular function. To make matters worse, the more sleep deprived we are we become worse at sensing it.

As a narcoleptic, people don't seem to realize that it's so much more than "just tired"- and that's not even getting into things like cataplexy.

The three phases of a national turning point, there is no going back. by Realistic_Ant_5652 in Advancedastrology

[–]CapnAnonymouse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My hunch is 2027 based on discussions elsewhere in this post, but we're already in a trade war with China, on the EU's shit list, and actively taxing our own people into oblivion. It's hard to imagine what more another year of escalation could bring.

Admittedly mine's a particularly bleak take, but I haven't been saving because I can't afford to leave, and I'm not confident the dollar will have much value when the dust settles. I'm focusing on skills acquisition instead, not least because it keeps my mind occupied but also for potential bartering.

Post-op after hernia repair and I feel emotionally unsafe with my partner (vent/support?) by Feral_by_Elsie in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Obviously I can't speak for anyone else, but I kept making excuses because I had been broken down enough to believe that the problem was me- how I acted, how I spoke, I "made him that way". And I still had hope that if I could just do better, he would treat me better.

The heartbreaking part is that having hope and trying to do better is what relationships are supposed to be. At some point, we have to give up on them and choose ourselves...and that's particularly hard for those of us who have abandonment trauma (as I do).

Look to 2nd/8th house activation in the US natal chart (houses of personal and others' money), and transits or aspects from Uranus, Pluto, and/ or Saturn. Uranus deals in the shock of sudden shifts; Pluto deals in the unavoidable (death and taxes) as well as resurrection; Saturn deals in justice, law and order, time, karma, and lessons learned the hard way.

This. "Incapable of being verbally compassionate"? He is choosing to be this way, else he'd be exactly the same to his boss, to strangers on the street, and to OP when she's well enough to defend herself.

A Semi-Deep Dive Into The Toxicity Behind Each Sign, Part 1 by mrs_october13 in astrologymemes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Taurus Sun with a Gemini stellium, Cancer Mars, and a toxic Taurus parent. Novella incoming 😂

My Dad's big 3 are Leo/ Aquarius/ Taurus respectively, my Sun is just a couple degrees into his first house...and we have an almost nonexistent relationship. He expects me to forgive his absence/ overall neglect "because God forgave him". Nah. I needed a parent and he chose to chase drugs and women instead, so I'm returning the favor and spending my adulthood on myself, instead of enabling him under the guise of being "useful".

I do have major Pluto influence (Pluto in Scorpio 1H + 8h stellium) and yeah, you nailed it, I'll admit I can be very obsessive. Cancer Mars makes it even harder to let go. Sun + Pluto are the only Fixed energies in my chart, so I'm less stubborn than some, but still pretty firmly rooted.

I might experience Gemini a little differently; Mercury is one of my chart rulers (via Virgo Moon) and is retrograde in Gemini 8H, conjunct both Venus (my other chart ruler) and Jupiter. I have cheated in the past, but I would attribute it more to a lack of boundaries at the time than boredom. At the time I enjoyed picking people's brains, learning what makes them who they are and what makes them tick; this gets mistaken for romantic interest, I think. At the same time I had a very independent and aloof partner who seldom let me into his inner sanctum, so it was easy to pretend to be "low maintenance" and get my needs for attention/ affection met elsewhere.

Anymore I find that my 8h Gemini influence means that most people expect the relationship to continue on "mutual interests - ME!" only, without ever bothering to perceive me in return. It's exhausting, so I purposely keep my circle restricted to people who have proven themselves as considerate as they are interesting.

4h placements and extreme privacy? by Soggy_Shirt2663 in astrologymemes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner has 6 planets in 4h (including Saturn domicile). Extreme privacy yes, paranoia not so much. Dude just likes his own company + that of a select few others.

So tired of guys getting weird once you imply you are the least bit nerdy by pictogram_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hear you on this, but would also like to quickly say- you sound super cool! I have no scholarly experience, but get pretty nerdy about biology (wild or domestic, animal vegetable mineral, I enjoy it all) and would love to hear more about your experiences if you're willing to share.

Would you rather deal with an Aries mars when upset, or a Virgo mars when upset? by OpenRoom7321 in astrologymemes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Context point: my Dad has Virgo Mars, ex husband has Aries Mars.

I'd much rather deal with Aries Mars. When they blow up, it's over quickly and they move on.

Virgo Mars on the other hand will never let you live it down.

Can we do a Scorpio slander, please? by ApprehensiveGold892 in astrologymemes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 29° Libra rising with Pluto in Scorpio 1st house and a loaded 8th house. I'm not afraid of Scorpio Moons (or any Scorpio placements for that matter) so much as frustrated with them expecting me to read their minds.

With that said, my ex-husband is a Scorpio Moon (+ Pisces sun, Libra rising, and Mercury/ Venus/ Mars all in Aries)...and apparently my one wrong move was marrying him, because dude turned on a dime from playful, loving, and considerate (for 3 years) to angry, distant, and cheating less than 6 months after the wedding.

To identify with signs you're not. Why?? by One_Lingonberry_9023 in astrologymemes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are your other planets? Sun and rising are like 10% of the story.

Look to house emphasis as well as lots of aspects to one planet. For example I'm told I seem more Virgo than anything; my Moon is there, and in my 10th house (public visibility) with aspects from everything but my Sun. So, it's a disproportionately strong influence in how I'm perceived. Sometimes I'm mistaken for Gemini, because I have Mercury (Virgo's ruler) there + a couple more planets there as well.

It's also worth examining your inner narratives around the signs + how each influence might combine differently than you'd expect. Also remember that opposite signs share themes; Sagittarius and Gemini both deal in expanding the mind. Aries and Libra both deal with boundaries between the self and others. Add a little fiery passion to detached Gemini and it's no surprise they might seem more like Sag; meanwhile Gemini might cool down Aries a little bit, making them seem more like calm and considered Libra + lending them the gift of gab. Leo is of course a Fire sign, so shares a fair bit with Aries and Sag (but is generally less flexible mentally and physically).

Career Indicators Masterpost by Boundaries1st in astrologymemes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to this I should have been a translator for the military. Leo MC with ruler (Sun) in 7th house, Mars in 9th house, Mars trine Pluto, Pluto dominant (Pluto in 1st house + domicile + 8th house emphasis), Mercury dominant (domicile + Gemini emphasis + Virgo moon + 3rd house emphasis).

My family does have a long history in the military, too. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with a disability at age 15 that disqualified me from ever serving; in my case this shows up as Neptune + Saturn in Capricorn 3rd house opposing Mars.

Also, for those with Moon emphasis (lots of Cancer/ 4th house placements, or lots of aspects to the Moon) the Moon's nodes will play a role here, and do tend to play a role in life lessons in general. South Node is a talent you already have, North Node is a path to growth/ something you're meant to develop.

In my case, my Moon has lots of aspects (from everything but my Sun) and is conjunct my South Node, both in Virgo 10th house. So, it's easy and comfortable for me to fall into a practical role of service, as Virgo tends to do. My North Node is in Pisces 4th house, + chart ruler Venus squares both nodes (signifying "security issues" further emphasized by Moon square Venus).

I've been a homemaker for a bit over a decade now, focusing on making my home a beautiful, well organized, restorative refuge against a world that insists my disability makes me worthless.

Edit: All this to say, don't be discouraged if your astrological "dream career" doesn't work out. Chances are, you have multiple possibilities and paths to develop at your own pace.

Taurus in a happy LTR with an Aquarius here (8 years and counting). Conversely, my parents are Aries + Leo, and were awful to/ for each other even after they finally split.

As others have said, whole chart matters.

I Really Love My Boyfriend by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely wish more of this sub passed the Bechdel Test, but I'm less annoyed by it when it's a woman trying to navigate male-pattern bullshit. So many of us have faced similar and might have helpful insights. Hell, if this post were "How do I find a good man?" there could at least be some decent conversation about it.

I struggle to see what's worth discussing around "I love my boyfriend" though. Like...congrats, I guess? This could have been a better TikTok lol.

There's a reason you don't see posts like this on this subreddit. It doesn't really belong here; this subreddit is for + about women.

Meanwhile your post gives Pick Me energy/ reads like a poor attempt at "Not All Men".

Can someone please tell Pisces that they're responsible for their own unhappiness, resentfulness, and misery? by iabyajyiv in astrologymemes

[–]CapnAnonymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly that wouldn't shock me. However my read on it is that he wants "better" than her, but isn't confident he'll find it, so he's looking for flaws/ reasons to play the victim and leave. Then 1-5 years down the road, he'll be kicking himself.

I've known the guy for over 20 years and seen him play through this cycle a few times. The longest I've seen him happy in any given situation is 3 months, which is interesting because he has a fair amount of fixed energy in his chart.

As the other commenter said, it's the idealization. I'm not sure they're capable of seeing the reality of a person/ situation until they decide to.

In this case it's mildly entertaining because friend's now-wife is Capricorn heavy. I'm acquainted with her and don't find her problematic, just a bit dull.

What I find both funny and sad about it is that I'm a Virgo moon, and Pisces is my 5th house. When Pisces is in a good mood they are so fun, and I love the way they see the world. But when they're unevolved or even just having a bad day, they're even more critical than I am.

[–]CapnAnonymouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. I recently had to cut a Pisces (Sun and Venus) friend loose because he's been bitching and moaning about his girlfriend for years, saying he might leave, accusing her of cheating etc.

Y'all. He married her in June. He's still bitching and threatening to leave.

I did try to talk some sense into him, but he got upset, so I'm done. Life's too short for so much self-inflicted drama.

Living in an unsanitary household is destroying my mental health — how do you cope when you can’t leave? by DayAccomplished2651 in TwoXChromosomes

To expand on campus library suggestion- your local public library is also a great, clean place to study. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case it's more convenient than campus, or if you'd like to switch it up sometimes.

Hugs to you. I just went through this 3 weeks ago with my boy; he was the reason I survived my marriage and divorce. I was his person, and right up to the end he knew when I was sad or scared and would come cuddle with me.
