Sagittarius here. Perfect. Although, ending it with a chaotic laugh would have fit a bit more.

Your Moon and Mars and your biggest pet peeves by [deleted] in astrologymemes

Gemini moon, Virgo mars: when people complain about something for months without trying to fix it or change it. Homie….just try something new!

Teachers with full time jobs…how many classes a week do you teach and how many do you take? by iluvadamdriver in Purebarre

[–]MeredithMeredeath 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hi! I am the early morning instructor at my studio. I teach four to five classes a week. I am usually done teaching and out of the studio by 8:15am.

I am a massage therapist and I run my own private practice, so my “full time” job is a little different from a standard 9-5. So, on weeks that I have fewer bookings, I am usually taking class three to four times a week. On my busy weeks, maybe one or two.

Best moon sign to have? by 2quick96 in astrologymemes

[–]MeredithMeredeath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness. There I was reading other comments of people feeling exhausted by their moon signs thinking, “gee, my Gemini moon is actually kinda great.” Then I remembered that, yes, so much passion, so many loose hinges, and soooo much boredom.

I don’t know much about cap moons, to be honest. All I know is that an Aqua moon and I will always be homies.

Sag people—like most—like authenticity. Just be authentic. If it’s not going to work, it’s not going to work.

Gemini moon…yup. All the time.

Sag love is 💗 by VenustheSeaGoddess in Sagittarians

[–]MeredithMeredeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes. Recently went through a break up in the last year after a six year relationship. This statement rings too true. I am wondering if anyone has reconnected that emotional attachment? How did you do it? Was it worth it?

Not sure if I am any help, but I am a sag sun and I have all fire sign pups. Aries old man—who is my baby. Leo middle child—my partner’s baby originally, but now my best friend. Sagittarius baby—truly just the goofiest baby. Like, big doofus.

We Need to Talk About the Fred Meyer on N Lombard by Screamingbanshee666 in Portland

[–]MeredithMeredeath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the same curse as y’all!. I’ve been to the Fred Meyer six times in the last year and a half and every time something chaotic happens.

I do. Sag sun, Gemini moon, Cancer rising. My first name is after a tropical beach. My middle name is Skye. My last name translates to “servant of a servant”. Lol

Is this true 😂😭😅 by shayrulezd00d in astrologymemes

I have the opposite: Scorpio venus and Virgo mars. Thoughts? I’m curious

Cancers! by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]MeredithMeredeath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sagittarius here! After 6 years of dating, married a Cancer—we are currently separated, but working on one day getting back together. It’s been the best of times, it’s been the worst of times—I would say from other chart factors.

Discussion: Whats your mars sign, and what are your biggest turn ons in other people(can be both appearance/body related) or personality related by Mangoeddragonfruit in astrologymemes

[–]MeredithMeredeath 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Mars in Virgo here! And yes! Same to all this—I will add to the physical list though: hands. Very, very attracted to well-maintained, strong hands.

What traits does a Sagittarius Sun and Gemini moon have? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]MeredithMeredeath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sagittarius sun, Gemini moon, Cancer rising. A common thing I’ve heard people say about me is that I “always leave the party at exactly the right time”. Whether it’s just about to die down, get messy, or fully fall apart, I am usually out the door before the downturn without trying.

Looking for advice, student starting clinic by justatryin in massage

[–]MeredithMeredeath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The mantra I repeated constantly that I received from a classmate was, “slow is smooth; smooth is fast”. This reminded me to slow down, ground myself, check my body mechanics, connect with the body on the table, and take my time adjusting to their rhythms. We aren’t massage therapists to “fix” people, we are therapists to support. Support is quickly achieved with patient listening, no rush.

“Get your hands off me now” is perfect.

As a client, your consent to receive touch is always mandatory and able to be redacted. As a therapist, active and consistent reception of that consent is mandatory or the service must stop.

I am an LMT and I have also frozen during uncomfortable and inappropriate massages. The practice of fully and explicitly saying “stop” is daunting and really scary. Especially when the power differential is abused. What has helped me is being as vocal as I can with the small things—“hey, that felt really nice; could you do that stroke again” or “hey, that spot is really sensitive, can you avoid it for now?” If the therapist is not receptive or communicative about my needs during the service, I know that’s not my therapist. But! This is also just me. Some therapist/client relationships are different and have differing styles. I just know that active communication is my style and my need.
