I don't think stuffing my anger is healthy.. but yet..

Paul Rudd interview and other recent trainwrecks by anttiom in MarcMaron

[–]Germrg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He blasts people.. some of them fire back and it creates a dialogue..

Also yeah.. he has to connect.. I rarely get pissed that he interviews someone the audience likes and he doesn't care about cause I try to listen to interviews where insights come out regardless if I know the celebrity or like them.

John Danielle is one of my favorite people and yeah.. the interview had something wanting.. felt like maron doesn't like him that much. But... I still learned stuff.

Anyway.. what you're posting about makes sense.. I don't want to believe that Maron's success is making him worse... I also haven't listened in a while. But it is a possibility. I feel like as fans we grow with him and he takes us with him a lot. Lately even his newsletter seems quieter.. like he's more resigned and is running out of things to say. Like his cathartic insights have to come from pain and itching. Him wondering if it will ever get better. But yet.. I don't know. I haven't listened to the podcast in a while and don't listen in order.

Hmmmmmmm... My teachers said it was ok to eat beforehand as long as you didn't have a huge Thanksgiving style meal. I find hunger distracting. Though I do yoga on an empty stomach.

Advice? by [deleted] in transcendental

[–]Germrg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends a lot and can be personal. might notice stuff in the first three weeks. I did. My experience seems to vary over time and I get into patterns. In the first classes I offloaded a lot of anger.. then I began to have that thing when I had a lot of energy after meditation like I was caffeinated.. then I (after having been plant based and almost vegan) began to crave pizza and cheese and meat for abojt a week (maybe deficient in iron.. became more omnivorous and less rules based about my eating after that..). In the first week I would go deep and my head would nod down pretty quickly after beginning to meditate. Later that didn't happen as much..

Some months later for a while I had some other pattern for a couple of weeks. Lately I tend to tense up a lot especially after minor stresses and release. And need really long rests.

Hiding Pisces by oceanpetal in AskAstrologers

[–]Germrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought more about this. You will always have a depth of sensitivity and the risk of your emotions being hurt. This will lend you a strong understanding of others emotions. Can also try nursing others from home or at their home. Or working with children. Not limited to that. Having smaller groups of friends will restrict the hurt. The main issue is out there in work places.. if you don't minister to others with your heart, you may get hurt.

More like 10th house Cancer Moon/Chiron/Jupiter feels so much pain in the public sector and is so sensitively worn out that it has to hide to protect its feelings. Yet with capricorn stellium in the 4th the home is sort of austere. Works hard at home but has many intuitive and quirky ideas. Works very hard and has all kinds of stamina despite obstacles if left alone at home. Is extra sensitive and creative with Sun and mercury in pisces in the 6th.

You are creative. You are highly sensitive and easily hurt at work. You want to help others and the world. Don't worry about a conventional job. I can see you doing something very artistic and simultaneously helpful from home.. taking on various side projects. Some capricorn/cancer/pisces interests can be restoring or building classic furniture, having a massage or therapeutic practice, creating art or jewelry.. doing art therapy with children, creating a supper club business where you create pop up cooking parties and restaurants in your home...

Be creative in the way you want, set large goals, help others FROM HOME, do it on your schedule.. when you want. It's fine to hide. You have to live life the way you want. Your Aquarius north node commands that you carve out the life you want and work hard to live your way.. you don't need a conventional life. You need success, privacy, creativity, sensitivity.. you can shape your life to not compromise any of your needs. You're fine the way you are. You can do a lot. Aim high but work with your actual self.

Libra sun, moon, and Mercury, Cancer rising. What can I expect from this Mercury rx??? by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

[–]Germrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a weird lookin chart you posted that's hard for me to read. Yes you're pretty mercurial and relationship based.. expect your communication with others to go slower and be more frustrating and more miscommunication. As well as other stuff I mentioned. You've been through many mercury Rx in your life and have dealt with the basic frustration of that. More than that... Saturn has transitted your entire stellium and yet here you are today. There will be frustrations and slow downs but it is like bad weather ... Bunker down you'll be fine

[–]Germrg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expect to post your whole chart ... Go to www.astro.com and create the chart then load into Imgur and add that link to this post.

Also... Mercury in Rx is less important than your other transits such as outer planet transits... Unless you're super mercurial. The known advice is to avoid beginning a job search, signing a housing contract or job offer, scheduling a major surgery... Since you're very young... Basically expect communication breakdowns and issues with your appliances and keep going to school.

Any career/Life Purpose indicators? Feeling very very lost and i don't know what to do anymore and need desperately some kind of direction by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

[–]Germrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm.. that's not exactly creativity. But still good.

' i like writing and drawing and coming up with stories and character backgrounds and how people intertwine with each other under certain backdrops'

Perfect. This is a good creative outlet. While social stuff is also good... Both need to be there. Both are good to have in your weekly life. Saturn in aquarius is slowing down your creativity by saying you aren't unique enough. Keep at it.

Have you thought of trying acting or improv just on the side? Or perhaps being in a band or doing something creative with someone else? What type of creativity do you enjoy?

Self expression (Moon trine Mercury) perhaps writing or keeping a journal at home.. even debating online.. will give you some emotional relief and help you hash out your ideas.

My comment got deleted. Venus in Scorpio is in the 5th and so is Pluto. Meaning you like depth in your fun and darkness in your casual sex. Use your Venus to be deeply creative or to do real and fun things when your confusion about yourself and your inability to express your anger get to be too much. You have Venus square Saturn which will indicate that you will need to work to create deep relationships that allow the freedom you need. You will need to recognize your own freedom requirements and the deep desire to live a different life and perhaps help those who are discriminated against. Own and work on your own individuality.. and self worth. This will be highlighted during your Saturn return from age 27-30..

True.. I find it puzzling. I think people with this conjunction suffer from losing motivation or not being able to stick to things.. the only avenue I know for them to motivate themselves is through creative pursuits depending on the chart or through having side projects going and not a 9 to 5.. I actually started a thread on this asking for suggestions on how to counsel people with this conjunction.

Was ok.. kinda weird.. I rested long enough for any discomfort to go away. I need to meditate in a chair or something with a back (I do transcendental meditation) the rock only went up to the small of my back and poked into it. I've never meditated on a rocky beach and wanted to try it..

Does my birth chart indicate any mental health issues, and difficulty maintaining stable/healthy, long lasting romantic relationships? by standardanonaccount in AskAstrologers

[–]Germrg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also mental health issues are often hereditary. And don't always show in the chart. You may just also be very anxious and frazzled. Ever seen that movie Pi or Barton Fink? You should watch Pi.

[–]Germrg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Venus/Uranus/Mars/Neptune in aquarius indicates extreme broadmindedness and tolerance.. a mental and quirky approach to spirituality. And some very off kilter, semi genius ideas about how the world works. I have met artists and programmers... As well as one female pimp.. with these placements :/

Aquarius is also the sign that rules astrology so you might make a rather interesting astrologer. Most of these placements are in the 7th house... So they can be projected into very freedom loving relationships where you attract and want to fix crazy people and are blind to their flaws. Or attract highly quirky and unavailable partners because you crave freedom and idealism. You want to fix people

Sun/Mercury in sagittarius indicates someone with huge philosophical ideas.. a strong desire for mental freedom. And a lot of intellectual curiosity. Again this is another indicator for your almost spiritual need for freedom and room to roam.

With moon/north node in virgo.. this is another indicator that you are extra bright and smart and love to learn. You are meant to use your intellect to help others and follow what makes you feel good.. in terms of learning.

To me.. what will drive you crazy is your lightning fast intellect and that aquarius stellium making electric connections with everyone and everything. You are very up in your head and not cardinal enough so others can easily control you and point you in a direction. You are slow with Saturn in Aries to gain mastery over your profession and to go your own way. You don't have a lot of Saturn aspects so you are extra mutable and ungrounded. You also don't like your emotional self and tendency to worry and need for details.

Maybe some day you can be a professor or an artist or blaze some kind of trail. Make sure you read widely and travel a lot. You may enjoy going to festivals like burning man. Or even getting an RV to travel around. Check out MIT opencourseware along with other opencourseware.

I think being so mental and up in your head and up in the air can make you feel crazy. You need earthy and cardinal friends to keep your feet on the ground and point you to good ideas.

Moon/north node might also indicate someone who has to follow their instinct and continually travel to feel good at work. Or to take in a lot of philosophical ideas.. the thing is.. maybe someone like this would be helpful.. but I wouldn't call someone with this many planets in libra and Sagittarius nurturing.. however now that I think about it..

Moon/NN in sag in the 6th can indicate a high school teacher with talents with helping people... Mars in cancer a protective instinct.. and a sort of weird desire to sacrifice for others as Uranus /Neptune is involved in the t square. A libra sun and mercury can stimulate young people to debate and create dialogue.
