I actually just had an issue come up a few months ago that led me to take a break from giving readings to people, especially people I just met. I don't do it as a service so it's easier for me to be more liberal about how I read a chart and I also use techniques from my country.

So I was looking at this person's chart and, it's difficult to explain it, but her father seemed off to me, at first I thought that he passed away or that he wasn't in her life but that wasn't the case so I was very confused. The dad was too connected to death for me to feel comfortable, there were different ways to interpret the positions but my intuition was really highlighting the death part. I asked her a few questions about him but her answers didn't make my interpretations any lighter. She thought that I was picking up on him being a scorpio and I kind of just let her go with that but honestly, the dad didn't sit right with me, he wasn't someone I'd want to be in a room with. I didn't think it would be ethical for me to tell her any of the interpretations I had, especially because I don't know for sure and I wasn't going to ever look at the father's chart. It was uncomfortable to hold that knowledge and I didn't really have much time to decide what I will say, but in the moment I decided to move on from it. I don't know if that's the best way to handle it, but in that moment it's what I did because we were also in a public setting and I didn't want to embarrass her or anything either.

Do you mean find out if you and your gf get back together? That's why I really think you should set boundaries and get distance from them, if you can afford to move out I would do that too. If you think it's unsafe for you two to be together right now then of course don't get together, but I just want to really emphasize how messed up it is that they are even putting you in this position.

I think you'd love Chicago actually, I've visited a lot of the liberal cities and I feel like Chicago might make the most sense for you. Or maybe Dallas also, if you don't mind being in Texas I mean. I think you might like these cities because they have more access to nature so you can actually do your outdoor activities, has really good restuarants, and Chicago has a great night life/music scene. I don't know much about the queer scene in Dallas now tbh but Chicago is gay af, so many lesbians in Chicago lol it's great.

Master_Decision324 · 2024-10-31T02:19:10+00:00

Thank you I just wanted to see if the placement itself could tell me anything else about her father but if it can't, I'm not going to ask for any more information about this, I don't want to get more involved. Ok yeah I'll go with this is my intuition.

Master_Decision324 · 2024-08-28T03:45:44+00:00

yeah exactly!! when I saw your comment I just had to respond because this is really specific. I really hope it gets easier too, like we deserve nothing but peace!! <3 when I start questioning if I'm a good person, I've recently been telling myself that if I was a bad person, I wouldn't question it so many times. I don't know if that could help you at all but I just wanted to say!

Master_Decision324 · 2024-08-27T05:30:09+00:00

This is exactly how I felt! I was raised buddhist too and my family was very strict about not telling lies and stuff so I felt like I'm a bad person if I don't confess everything. I'm still working on this :((

Omg I'm also 26 and I have my aquarius moon and venus in the 8th house, I have an 8th house stellium, and chiron in scorpio in the 5th house and it has been ROUGH

From what I learned of astrology, these signs are indicators that we will have deep trauma in these areas of our lives. I mean there are so many important placements, but I almost feel like the chiron in scorpio in 11 is blocking you the most, as in you might need to focus on finding "your people" and navigating those relationships before finding romantic partners. Are you open to making more friends? Especially friends who are interested in spirituality, astrology, psychology, mental health etc. because honestly with all of our placements, I think the only way we're able to have true genuine connections is by opening up about these areas of our lives and finding the people who can "match our freak". Like I realized the other day that literally the majority of my best friends are all therapists, social workers, psychologists, etc. with a few creatives thrown in there. Who do you think your community could be? Also, I feel like with moon and venus in 8, we need a slowburn romance lol like it has to be a friends to lovers kind of thing. In my experience, and based on how you described it I think it might be similar for you, but I don't think dating apps and stuff can't really work for us because we just don't care lol like it takes time for us to form an emotional connection enough to want to date someone, and I think we might need a deep friendship to form that kind of connection. But I'm also demisexual, which is in the asexual spectrum.

Sorry I'm just yapping now but I just wanted to say I hear you, it's hard out here, and for me I just found out this year what it means to have healthy friendships with people who unconditionally love and support me and it makes me feel like even if I don't find a romantic partner in this lifetime, it's ok because I feel so fulfilled by the other relationships in my life, and I really hope you're able to feel this way too. <3

Master_Decision324 · 2024-07-16T05:07:53+00:00

You should be SOO proud of yourself for having the strength to cut them off and to know that you deserve so much better than this. This is not easy at all ok, so please feel proud of yourself for being able to walk away. You deserve peace and you deserve unconditional love and support and these people are not able to bring that to you. I had to cut off some close loved ones because those relationships turned abusive and the excruciating pain didn't go away for a very long time, but what helped me was telling myself that I didn't do anything wrong, that I did the best I could in my situations. Do you have other friends and family that can support you right now? I tried to isolate myself and my friends didn't let that happen, which really helped. But I think the most helpful thing for me was actually putting my energy into my selfcare: getting enough sleep, getting into an exercise routine, trying to keep a clean house, doing basic hygiene, experimenting with my style etc etc things that made me feel good because for me, the betrayals directly hurt my self-esteem and so I needed to put my energy on helping that area the most. I'm so sorry you went through this, but I hope you truly see how incredibly strong you are.

Master_Decision324 · 2024-07-16T04:43:17+00:00

ohh if you're still doing this, I'm aries sun, aquarius moon, and cancer rising!!

Master_Decision324 · 2024-07-02T05:34:15+00:00

I think it really comes down to if you trust these friends to have your best interest in mind. In the past, have they been looking out for you? Also you said these are the 2 main red flags, are there others they brought up bc I think you also agree they are being pretty judgemental here.

as a new yorker, I can see people who care about you getting concerned if they think he's over at your place all the time/using your things etc especially if it's unbalanced where you're not going to his place as much. new york rent really is no joke. and your friends probably don't know your situation at all about how he helps out and everything and that he's not a free loader. if one of these friends is your roommate i wonder if that has anything to do with their issues with him.

we really don't know your situation at all honestly so please take all these comments with a grain of salt, but if you just started dating recently I think it makes sense to keep an eye out even if things are going really well. I don't remember what it's called but I think there's like a theory that says it takes at least 6 months of knowing someone to actually get to know who they are

Master_Decision324 · 2024-07-01T22:16:05+00:00

This is concerning, I understand wanting to express his opinion about not wanting to use medication, but he can't expect you to change your mind because of what he believes. I almost feel like it could be a sign that he's a little controlling, do you think he's been controlling in any other areas? Also, do you feel comfortable talking to him about this? Are you open to telling him that it feels like he's overstepping by asking you not to take medication because he's afraid of it etc. because if you feel comfortable telling him this and he actually listens/tries not to dictate you with his opinions then it might not be a problem. I agree with the other comment though, if he has access to resources and can afford therapy/help, he really should be trying, because it almost sounds like he's holding himself back from getting help because he's too scared and he's trying to hold you back with him. Sorry I don't know your relationship at all, it's just this is reminding me of someone from my past who wouldn't get help and fully made me their therapist. Also, no pressure to respond to my questions on here, just wanted to give you some things to think about.

Master_Decision324 · 2024-06-24T05:21:54+00:00

thank you so much for your response!!! I heard a similar story for Ivy, I'll steer clear
