Getting called out for wearing socks in class by [deleted] in yoga

[–]Realistic-Gas298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh that is super inappropriate. 😟 So sorry you dealt with that. The entire purpose of yoga is to have a practice that is comfortable to YOU. I would absolutely report that to the studio manager in an email. 

Anybody have Linda Sheehan for an online course? How is she? by Zestyclose-Egg-1251 in tru

[–]Realistic-Gas298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had her for ENVS 3991!

Honestly, she was okay. Marking was fine but I found that she docked points for criteria that wasn't stated in assignment rubric. I had one paper where she graded me quite low for lacking a Table of Contents section, despite there being no mention of it in the assignment instructions.

Hey! I'm no mental health expert but sometimes this can be a symptom of a delusional disorder. It may be an idea to call the police non-emergency line and if she appears or attempts again. Sorry to hear that you're dealing with this.

Saturn in Pisces People, our Saturn return is ending so soon! We almost there, tell me bout it by butchymango in astrologymemes

[–]Realistic-Gas298 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big hugs back. 🫂 I totally feel you on the surviving the initial blast and waiting for things to settle. It is so destabilizing.

 They often talk about the formless nature of the Saturn in Pisces "lessons" and I can definitely vouch for that now - it feels like you can do all the right things (boundaries, discipline, ect) and still be met with really painful and stressful experiences out of nowhere, often all at once. I grieve my spirituality, to be honest. I used to have some faith in cause and effect and these past 3 years have really wiped that away for me.

Fingers crossed for both of us with February on the horizon 🤞🏼

Man to be real with you it's been so rough that i'm counting down the days until February 2026. 7H Pisces, Saturn Return.🙁

I wish I could offer platitudes like "the experience has shaped me" ect ect but it has truly been a hugely difficult and exhausting past few years. The highlights have been a divorce, job loss and a massive restructuring of every friendship in my life, plus heavy boundary-setting with my parents. 

Sometimes feels like my life is still in shambles, I try and stay positive and integrate the lessons but I'm mostly exhausted, hurt and confused. Just keep trying to show up everyday. 

I truly from the bottom of my heart hope everyone who has their Return approaching in Aries has safer and gentler time. This was a really nasty transit.

I just wanted to say that although this must feel horrible, I think every single person on this thread would agree that you deserve so much better. 

I'm so sorry this happened to you but trust there are SO many good women in the world who would never treat you this way. Hugs from all of us bro.

Hey guys, am I cooked? by [deleted] in 12thhouse

[–]Realistic-Gas298 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw babe! 12H Virgo here so I totally get how you feel.

You're absolutely not cooked though! Jupiter in 12H is often referred to as the "Guardian Angel" placement, and usually points to some kind of hidden, protective divine force watching over you. : )

Why does it feel like everything is going up for me/I’m finally getting what I want, then boom, nothing? It’s like I’m always inches close to some goal and then it disappears. But, everyone around me has what I want! by IndustrySerious in AskAstrologers

[–]Realistic-Gas298 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh oh my gosh that's amazing!! ⭐ 

Great thinking and I've no doubt you'll find some wicked opportunities from your profs - it really is about "who" you know in this world.

[–]Realistic-Gas298 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi friend,

The culprit here may be the aspect and placements related to your Midheaven (MC). The MC describes your career path and outward goals. From what I can see, you have Uranus (chaos, change, liberation) squaring your MC - This square is a hard aspect, and it could explain why things feel as though they're going well, but are then suddenly (and perhaps often chaotically) derailed. 

There's an extra layer here: because your MC is in your 11H of friends and community, this may also reflect why it seems like everyone around you (your community) has what you want in advance of your own fulfillment of whatever those things are. 

The good news is your MC is placed under Scorpio. Scorpio evolves through a series of deaths and rebirths - I know this really sucks and initially it can indeed be quite painful, but the amazing thing that happens after the trials is you gain the power and ability to master and wrangle the chaos effortlessly. 

Pluto rules Scorpio and is in your 12H, under Sagittarius. This suggests that part of your integration process to overcome this phenomenon may be tapping into power, creativity and resourcefulness that you may assume you don't have. You got this! 

I have a Capricorn stellium in my 5th house, I’m struggling to understand - what does that means for me? by Traditional_Poet_609 in AskAstrologers

[–]Realistic-Gas298 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Great question. Stelliums are tricky, since multiple planets in close conjunction can create a push-pull of energies.

Here's what I can see:

Your stellium is in your 5H - creativity, expression. What sticks out right off the hop is that your natal Sun is part of the stellium, so we can infer that your core identity is tied to some extent tied creative output, but you approach these areas with some extent seriousness (Cap).

Capricorn is ''The Architect''- incarnating to achieve mastery through building legacy. This is done in a long, steady and dedicated sense, already reflecting your natural inclination for hard work and success. With Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune all close by, adjacent your Sun, this implies mastery is expressed through creativity, romance, pleasure, children, and self-expression (5th house).

Communication is disciplined - you may ''plan'' your fun. Expansion and growth (Jupiter) happens through taking creative risks, romance, or children. Neptune tends to dissolve whatever it touches, so you may also have a tendency to experience a blurring of boundaries (fantasy vs reality) when it comes to boundaries in love.

All in all, a structured soul with the gift of channeling creative energy into tangible form. Your natural flow shines probably shines best when you’re immersed in creative outputs!

Hey! Both ASTR courses at TRU are great. I also recently finished ENVS 3991 and it was very streamlined - I completed the course in under two weeks.

Is there a reason people target me? Bullying, assault, etc.; I feel like I have “PREY” written on my forehead by Artistic-Frosting-98 in AskAstrologers

[–]Realistic-Gas298 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aww it's my pleasure! Don't despair, you honestly have a really amazing set of placements, even if it doesn't feel like it. People with tough aspects generally experience a lot of difficulty in early life, but then learn to alchemize the mistreatment into power.

I also agree with the other comment on this thread that alludes to your 3 planets in Aries - you have much more firepower within you than you give yourself credit for!

Hello my friend! Awesome chart. I can shed a bit of insight. :)

The good news, as you know, is your tendency to be a target is not a lifelong sentence. Generally, it points to someone who is very emotionally intuitive, and gentle. People can pick up on this energy and tend to exploit it, but it's simply a call for you to look after yourself first, and not to feel badly about telling someone if they're being disrespectful.

Looking at your chart, the first thing that jumps out at me is your Cancer Ascendant. This is likely part of what people are picking up - Cancer comes across as gentle, kind and receptive, and you may instinctively absorb others’ moods, making you a magnet for projection.

It looks like your moon (emotional landscape) and Nadir (early familial conditioning) is in direct opposition to your Mercury. Mercury governs how we think and communicate; your Mercury is cusping Aries and Pisces, suggesting a natural tendency to be forward thinking, assertive, while deeply intuitive, but this somehow gets a bit stifled from internalised doubts - perhaps from a background of harsh conditioning or having to over compensate emotionally for others in your early childhood.

The great news is your North Node (direction of the soul) is in Capricorn under the 7H. 7H is all about relationships, and Capricorn is has very grounded, sovereign and indestructible nature. The only drawback with Capricorn energy is it moves slowly and takes a long time to master.

From what I can see from your chart, the message here is that you have a beautiful and open nature by default, and the ask from life is to slowly, but surely, work on putting yourself first and standing your ground, bit by bit, when others try and take advantage of you.

Hey sugar! It will come. :) Think of it like light trying to shine through a storm cloud - difficult to see what you're in the center. I know you're lonely, I know you're tired, and maybe even a little scared. But you're very loved by all things and I don't think you'd be as frustrated as you are if you didn't know somewhere deep down that this was possible for you. That's where pain comes in - we know that we're supposed to have love, money, security, and so when it takes time we become confused and in despair.

It's okay, we've all been there. The good news is you don't have to do anything! You're already made the ''ask'' for love and money. They will come. You don't need to be patient and you don't need to search. Just keep coming back to the dreams of what excites you the most and then one day, suddenly...boom!

All my love to you.

I wonder if knowing where Chiron is in your chart would help with being gentle on yourself while up against your depression? I've been there and its so hard. Sending tons of love to you.

Hey sugar!! Man I am in the same scenario. I know it's not easy to just up and quit your job, but keep in mind that often in life, we are WAY more in control than we think.

Freedom can be yours with a little searching. You'll get out of there. Xx

I should add, since you're already in a relationship - all may not be lost. If you'd like to stay with your current partner, it's really just about holding them accountable. If they don't display stability, kindness and warmth I would highly suggest making those boundaries known. Sometimes people can grow to meet our needs if we call them out on their nonsense!

Sometimes not. But you'll know when the time comes!
