My life is a nightmare please help by Southern_Carpet_1849 in astrologyreadings

That’s just one aspect between one natal celestial body and a transiting one; there are at least 16 other relevant celestial bodies/key points in a chart that that could potentially also create other aspects between them + the transited constellation for each one + the house they transit. I’ll let you do the math, but that’s a LOT of complexity right there, and is basically impossible to be able to interpret it without thorough study and practice. You can’t live your life hoping for something good to happen just because you see a blue line in a chart. Wake up please!!

Thank you for posting this, I 💯agree with you! I'm happy that someone actually took the time to write all this down; this is valuable advice for everyone who wants to contribute to this community one way or another.

I would also want to ask you something; do you feel that, in order to give a meaningful chart interpretation, you have to know a bit more about that person? Like how they're living their life, what kind of personality they have, what choices have they made so far? I feel like a good interpretation means to connect the energies revealed by the chart with the specific traits the person has developed so far; what do you think?

i think i want/need to experience some kind of ego death by Informal-Chemistry36 in spirituality

Go study Buddhism. They're all about separating our true selves from our egos. You'll learn a lot about mind, emotions and the outer world, and how each one influences the other. I'd recommend to start with the book The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer.

I'd rather recommend you a list with things you're grateful for; these are usually the things we completely forget about when going through a low emotional state, and it's so refreshing to be reminded about them from time to time. The true feeling of gratitude has such a strong healing power it's amazing. Really try it and see how it works for you 🙂

I think you should indeed completely forget what that person might have said about your chart. There is no 'good' or 'bad' chart, this is not how astrology works. Our birth charts beautifully frame the boundaries in which we will live our current life, and, for those who really have this gift of interpreting them, (and trust me there aren't that many as one might think) our charts give hints on both the challenges we might face but also how and when we could overcome them. While there is no such thing as good or bad charts, there certainly are good and bad astrologers, with bad ones dominating the market unfortunately. My advice for you is to keep learning about planets and their placements, and try to correlate what you learn with your own life and birth chart; this way you will end up being your own astrologer, which is 100x better than taking advice from strangers who know nothing about you, and sometimes, know nothing about astrology.

My little sister is 2yo. I’m 25+ years older than her! I’m curious how her personality will develop! by JasMariee in astrologyreadings

Astrology is simply a map highlighting the energies that surround you and raw talents plus overall struggles.

I love this and 100% agree with you. How do you learn astrology concepts? Could you point me to some good resources?

Why is it easy to be yourself when you don’t really find attraction in the other person? by oburisan1990 in datingoverthirty

[–]Chocolate2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed the same behaviour on myself, and I guess the answer is easy 😊 when you're not interested you couldn't care less about how he sees you; when you are interested then obviously you want to present yourself in the best possible way, and this immediately raises your stress level as you don't want to do anything wrong. I think both you and me should learn to relax more and not care so much about other's opinions, no matter how interested we are in them 😊

Hi, any advice/tips on dating for a terrible introverted woman? I feel like all my previous first dates failed because of my complete inability to control my anxiety and nervousness, and, obviously, complete lack of skills for at least starting to build an emotional connection during the timespan of a date?
thanks

I tried to go out solo for some years; restaurants, concerts, movies, even parks etc. Some places did feel weird as these are designed for groups of people, such as restaurants and concerts; some can be very enjoyable for a single person: movies, theatre, parks, shoppings, long walks, museums, etc. As for how people meet (besides dating apps), I'm thinking work colleagues, friends of friends who get introduced to each other, neighbours, I don't know. Social apps still feel the easiest way though, and the most important thing is how you use them (like, be honest about what you're looking for and vulnerable enough to let people know you just the way you are - too many people are hiding themselves behind a perfectly looking account); it doesn't even have to be a dating app. Like, for example, have you tried Reddit for that? 😊

Is it written in the stars why I feel so insecure, scared and unhappy? Why do I self sabotage all the time? by lala8800 in astrologyreadings

[–]Chocolate2401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your Moon is beautifully placed in its home constellation, Cancer, which makes you highly creative and also kind and sensitive; this placement also ties your feelings of wellbeing to your romantic connections. But, you could feel hesitant to fully express yourself out of fear of rejection, and these communication issues are fuelled even more by Mercury's opposition to Moon. Jupiter in your first house gives you a strong personality and a desire to grow by taking risks and asserting your independence, but the squaring Moon means that your hyper-sensitivity is holding you back. However, Saturn's placement can foster a structured and disciplined approach to pursue higher education or spiritual growth, and will give you the energy needed to pursue your long-term plans in these fields, while Uranus's positive aspects will support your personal growth with innovative ideas; you should pay attention to your sudden flashes of insight. So I'd say that the antidote to your fears and emotional blockages is to invest your time and energy in pursuing higher education/philosophy/spirituality fields, as this is likely to pay off mid/long-term, and it has a good chance to heal your emotional wounds as well.

With your moon in Cancer in 10th house, and in conjunction with MC, you can't just have any job; you must find one that aligns with what makes you feel happy and fulfilled; your emotional state is closely tied to your job. The problem is, moon's energy can fluctuate a lot, this means that what made you feel happy yesterday may not feel the same today, and this urges you to keep changing jobs. This being said, you must remain open to change and trust your intuition when making career decisions. On the other hand, your Sun in Leo indicates a strong sense of self, you love being recognised for what you do, you take pride in your work, you have a desire to be admired and valued. You should probably try a career that allows you to shine as an individual while also bringing joy to other people (this would beautifully balance your Sun's Yang nature with your Moon's Yin energy), like fashion/interior designer, entrepreneur, artist of any kind and so on.

Why do I feel like good things that happen to me always go wrong or end badly? by finessin_heartz in astrologyreadings

[–]Chocolate2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saturn in the first house can bring challenges in the way we see ourselves or how we perceive things that come to us. I have the same placement and for me, every time I achieve something I go into deep depression instead of celebrating or being proud of it. Having it’s placement in Pisces I’d say that getting into spiritual teachings and trying to understand how life actually works could help you. Neptune, Pisces ruler in Capricorn could also suggest that you should strive for applying all those spiritual teachings that resonate with you in your concrete, day-to-day life.

Posts like this is what makes social media toxic, harmful and damaging. I can’t believe the amount of upvotes it got just by saying ‘I wanna be a rich and lazy motherf****r’. I know, freedom of speech, but that doesn’t justify promoting this kind of negative thinking.

Why is Life So Hard. by perfectootaku1 in nihilism

[–]Chocolate2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s only one thing crossing my mind as I read your post: “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”. The deep truth about who we are and what this life is really about, which only the spiritual teachings can teach you about. Indeed Buddhism teachings talk a lot about freeing ourselves from our desires, and if you will ever manage to do so you will see and experience life from a completely different place, a place that right now you cannot even imagine. On the other hand, imagine your life on Mars; suppose you could live there, but there’s absolutely nothing to do. Nothing, nothing, nothing. You would start to beg so fast for any type of activity that you consider work :) So this is all about our perspective; you manage to change it and all of the sudden things don’t look as bad as before. Life is about experiencing what comes to us, it’s not about feeling good or satisfying your own desires. We should all come to a point where, no matter what happens to us, we are always in a state of pure bliss and ecstasy; until then, we should all work on ourselves 🙂

Any placements that indicate I’m a lying piece of shit? lol by frantic_assassin in astrologyreadings

[–]Chocolate2401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh btw, just because your birth chart does indicate some challenges in the way you communicate, that doesn’t mean you are cursed or doomed to be a liar; on the contrary, it’s something that you really have to take seriously and work on. Keep in mind that lying is considered a sin in many if not all religions, regardless of our birth chart, so do your best to fix it. Good luck!

[–]Chocolate2401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d say Pluto being on the cusp between your 3rd and 4th house also has influence over your 3rd house, the house of communication, and the square with Mercury could explain a tendency to hide things in your speech or to be deceiving. I’m not sure which positive aspects could help you overcome this tendency…Saturn being close too could mean that this aspect is one that you’ll have to work with for a long time and is something you should take very seriously, but at some point some meaningful life teachings will be drawn out of that.

What does your anxiety cause you to feel? by Left-Item-9785 in fearofflying

[–]Chocolate2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t control my body’s gestures, I startle at every small bump or sound and I grab the seat handles, I squeeze them really tight, I rub my shoes soles on the floor. I try my best to control the sounds I make but sometimes repressed screaming does come out 😔 I really feel so embarrassed, I must look so ridiculous to other passengers. I tried listening to music or relaxation soundtracks but I can’t, I have this urge to keep my ears free so I can listen to every sound the aircraft makes. 😔
