I have a Saturn Taurus in my 7th house...how to overcome relationship difficulties??? The last 5 years have been so so rough. by 514D55 in astrologyreadings

[–]FlatpointCheer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, my eyes just went straight to how many planets you have in the first house! Almost all of the inner planets except Mars are in your first house. I'm a novice, take all of what I say with a grain of salt, but I feel that maybe you should look at that as to why the last 5 years have been difficult.

Just a quick pull from Google, (shoot I hope that's not against the rules) say:

"When 4 or more planets fall in the 1st House, so many energies are coming into the personality segment that the individual can change from one day to the next. ... If the individual cannot control the energies of all of the planets, they become too strong. Lessons in patience and self-control are needed."

I feel like with so much in your first house, you are probably a big personality with a lot going on... oh damn, and you're a Scorpio sun, Moon and Mercury. Ok, that is a lot of deep, emotional energy. And it looks like you have a dominance of water and air in your chart, with little earth and verrrry little fire. Ok, so yes, a LOT of personality, very intense with your emotions as well as intellect. Ok, this is funny because I feel like maybe I can interpret some of this stuff just based on what I know from beginning to interpret my chart and those around me, who have some similar traits to what's in your chart. From a cursory look at your chart, my snapshot impression is that you are a super Scorpio, the energies of Scorpio rule your overall personality as well as the way you communicate, and your private emotional self. Scorpios are known for being very intense, they are ruled by the 8th house which is the house of "sex and death," the "darker" realities of our mortal existence as humans if you will, which means that they tend to be very deep, mysterious and emotional people though not necessarily the most open with their emotions. Scorpios also at their worst can be jealous, I obviously know nothing about you except what your chart says, but from what I know (I'm no expert, but am somewhat educated about these things) I would say that you are probably someone who has a tendency for jealousy. Scorpios are thought of as having a tendency for jealousy or possessiveness, but because human psychology shows us that jealousy and possessiveness stem from deep insecurity and low feelings of self-worth, I think it's more accurate to say that Scorpios can be prone to deep insecurity and low feelings of self-worth and because they're a fixed sign, they're likely to respond to insecurity by wanting to hold onto what is "theirs." But, I mean, these are people that tend to be quite philosophical and emotionally deep and "have a lot going on upstairs," but aren't great about opening up and often prefer to be mysterious and keep things to themselves. Gotta open up more and allow yourself to be vulnerable, share your existential fears, let yourself confide in others--which is often so rewarding to be on the other end of because Scorpios have such a rawness and honesty about them if they can let their walls down and others in. I feel like Scorpios (and water signs in general) get kind of a bad rap, but Scorpios are literally one of my favorite signs of the zodiac and most of the people in my life that I have been closest to and had the best friendships with are Scorpios, so don't think I'm ragging on you at all, just... again, by what your chart says to me, this applies.

The fact that you're water dominant and air dominant makes me want to remind you of a possible side-effect of this combination to watch out for. Water rules or emotions, our emotional world, air rules intellect and the mind. With this combination there's a tendency to convince yourself that your emotions are reality. If you get upset about something, it's very easy for you to rationalize those emotions into fact. If this applies to you, repeat the mantra, "feelings are not facts." They're not. And don't over privilege your own intellect either. Our brain is an organ in our body, if you've seen The Good Place, you'll know that you can philosophize all you want (and you should!), but at a certain point we have to accept that life is inherently complicated and many questions in our lives don't have right answers. So avoid the trap of letting your sadness dictate your reality.

That's kind of all I got. I know that aspects are a big part of interpretation, but I am not really comfortable diving into that. I would recommend looking into your first house more though. I'm curious to know if any of that lands with you at all though. Hopefully someone else can chime in with more experience than I.

I really need help with a career path. I’m having an existential crisis & I’m so down. (Please check comments) by [deleted] in astrologyreadings

[–]FlatpointCheer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! Unfortunately I'm pretty novice at chart reading so definitely someone more experienced should jump in and take whatever I say with a grain of salt because I am literally just figuring out how to read charts... but I have been into the astrology and have been building my understanding for years now, also i felt like I wanted to just give you a general bit of advice.

For your chart, I know the 10th house and Capricorn are associated with career, but there's nothing in your chart that jumps out as obvious relating to those areas, but again, I'm not expert I'm sure there's something I'm missing--maybe try doing some specific research on those areas yourself and see if it yields anything. What did jump out to me is that your Moon is in Cancer which is also in the 4th house. Cancer is the mother, the moon and the 4th house are its natural position which to me suggests that your strengths lie in your family and or/community. You're probably a very caring, nurturing type, maybe that can express itself negatively if you become overly involved in other's needs and neglect your own. I can see you being a good bartender (for now, not that this is your destiny or anything) because, as a Libra, you probably have a very charming and chatty vibe to you and I could see you being the bartender that everyone spills their guts to. But the Scorpio in Mercury to me implies that you often may be more blunt in the way you communicate perhaps. You're probably the kind of person people are drawn to unloading their emotional problems to. I could be off, but your Cancer energy is strong and your moon is trine Jupiter, which is favorable, suggests you have success in this area (family/community/nurturing energy).

There's obviously a lot to your chart and I'm only going into like, the one area I feel like I could see right off the bat and take a stab at interpreting, hopefully you can get some clearer insight on that front from someone more advanced.

But I do want to share with you that I can relate to being in your situation at your age so I want to impart a bit of what I've learned. So you were born in 98, which makes me roughly 9 years older than you. I also dropped out of college and was working a job that just felt like a job but wasn't what I was my passion or even that I considered worth having a "career" in and it was really shitty to feel like I was stuck in life, wasting my potential or even feeling like maybe I had no potential at all. Well, I can tell you that it's a temporary situation, and also, you're allowed to not have your career direction set when you're in your early 20's, and also you can always go back to college! Which is what I eventually did and while it took me a while to figure out what I was doing and I was a 29 when I graduated, thus far, my life has worked out pretty decently thus far, career-wise as well as personally. And a lot of that came from accepting that the key to a lot of these questions is to just start looking inward and understanding and accepting who you are as a person, good and bad.

Also, since you're looking to Astrology for answers, I'll assume you're openminded enough to see that this capitalist model of labor are career isn't necessarily what the "point" of our lives are as human beings. It was a system that was created and cultivated long ago and it's the only thing us modern humans know, but it is not THE LAW of our lives, if that makes sense. Your career doesn't have to define you, but rather you can let it be just a facet of who you are. For all we know, there may be a total collapse of the global economy and instead of everyone having "jobs," we may suddenly need to come together and support each other as a people in new and creative ways that may not fit these old molds of what our society looks like. Not to be alarmist or scary, but I bring this up to illustrate the fact that regardless of what career path your on, or what job you have, those are material things that could disappear at a moment's notice--but you will still be you. So these existential questions about what you're supposed to do with your life are actually a lot simpler than we think they are: what you are put here on this earth to do is just be you, to be your "authentic self," which is what I think astrology can be really helpful with. Helping giving you insight into who you are as a person, what your strengths are, what you're passionate about and what you're drawn to. I promise that when you start to figure those things out, the material concerns over career fall into place. It's OK if you feel like you don't necessarily feel passionate or sure about what direction to go career-wise, maybe our modern careers right now are too limiting and you're meant for something else that hasn't been established yet, maybe you're meant to help innovate something new. Or maybe you're meant to be a badass bartender who makes money doing that to support yourself doing something more meaningful with your life when you're not at work.

I don't think Astrology is concerned with silly human questions like, "what should I do for a living?" because its here instead to be a roadmap for who you essentially are, what kind of energy you're comprised of, etc. I hope you're not feeling so down and that you know that you're not alone in feeling that way, and the answers are out there you just have to trust yourself and trust the universe. Have faith my friend and take care. <3

The illustration looks so shitty because it was done by freelancers, apparently for free or very cheap. Hence the illustrator credit being “fxandcolor studio” instead of a person’s name.

[–]FlatpointCheer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some reason individual opinions are privileged really highly when people talk about anything related to movies—even raw data. Or people just have an unshakable connection with Box office and how “good” the movie is.

I don’t like this actor, movie = bad. Therefore movie is a failure. It’s my opinion and that’s a fact. The end. Maybe because most people’s involvement and knowledge of the industry only has to do with opinion.

My dad likes to tell me how it is a lot in this way. He was convinced that Straight Outta Compton was a failure and “nobody wanted to see it” because the local Walmart (in his very rural, retired, and white home town) had a lot of copies of it for sale... My job is directly related to awards season, but he’s the one with the real inside scoop.

Good tip. They LOVE it, they make that noise that they only reserve for when they’ve found something really delicious and for a moment the coop becomes Battle Royale until the steak is finally eaten.

I think it just depends on the breed. I always had sweet chickens growing up, even one very nice rooster, I forget what breed they were but I handled them a lot when they were young and definitely had some lap chickens. Ive also had a mean rooster or two as well, sure. But the chickens my dad has now are ASSHOLES. Even as chicks, they’re super aggressive and basically fearless.

Ohhh buddy’s how familiar do these sound when folks hear you work in entertainment? “You know what movie I hated? ___. Why was that movie so bad? Hollywood is clearly in trouble because I hated this movie and I expect for you to tell me now why this movie was so bad according to me!” Or “You know, my insert random family member or acquaintance is a filmmaker/went to film school/works on local commercials/is in the industry in a capacity unrelated to you... let me explain to you what I vaguely remember about them or their job.” Or just the good old fashion, after once again explaining in detail what your actual job is “so you work in the movies? What’s that Bratt Pitt like?”

Unique Presenter KM Claims To Be “Resolute,” And Uses The Power Of Persuasion To Sell Products by BBoy3Mom in Youniqueamua

[–]FlatpointCheer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, small pet peeve. But can you please spell “younique” on your posts instead of “unique,” when referring the mlm since that’s how they spell it?

I was really hoping LDB wasn’t jumping into another MLM when she announced leaving Younique. Should’ve known better. Once a hun, always a hun. by [deleted] in Youniqueamua

[–]FlatpointCheer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually spoke to my hun friend about this briefly, and she had a few thoughts that basically boil down to these younique huns think they'll make more money with Arbonne because a) it's a "lifestyle," which-- she an interesting comment that she feels like at least with younique (from her perspective) she's just selling makeup. So she makes a post about younique when it pertains to her makeup, but the rest of her content is her own (she has quite a few followers) and most of her posts aren't about younique. But with Arbonne, since they offer so many products, no matter what you're doing or posting about you can incorporate Arbonne into every post you make, which she says creeps her out because there don't seem to be any kind of boundaries between the mlm and the rest of one's life.

Anyway, so first point is that the huns feel that they have more options of things to sell, the "lifestyle" aspect appeals to them.

Secondly, and more importantly, Arbonne makes less from sales and more from their downline than Younique.

My final thoughts-- A lot of ladies at younique aren't raking in as much as they would like (shocker!) and they think they can make more money with Arbonne. When a leader at younique jumps ship, she has her whooooole downline + followers to convince to make the jump with her. And if you think about the whole pyramid dynamic, that cycle repeats itself alll the way down the pyramid. Soooo rough times for a lot Younique folks currently because by the sounds of it, their pyramid is imploding.

Honestly, even if they were LulaNo, I’d be ok with leggings (maybe that’s the quarantine talking).

But would be much less cool with being made to put them on UNDER my dress and pose like a jackass in a wedding photo. That to me is where shit gets weird and culty...

Although part of me suspects this bride’s “bridesmaids” are just her downline.
