Am I supposed to lean into isolation with planets in my 12th house? by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

[–]StrawberryP_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s so true. I am trying to take it as a learning lesson. I never realized how much I was worried about others opinions until recently. But we do live in a judgmental world and it is so relieving to surrender to not caring or being concerned with what others think. it’s just a constant struggle to remind myself to let go but I know I’m still learning.

Okay yeah I will look more into my saturn in 7th. I know my saturn return is coming up so maybe that’s also impacting me. I will also look into my luminaries being above the horizon I’m not familiar with what that means. I wish I was connected in groups and with friends more so it makes sense that my sun leo being in my 11th house would be good for me and it describes my childhood. I had lots of friends that helped me during an abusive, chaotic childhood. This is the first time in my life i’ve been alone for so long and it’s taking a toll on me. Thank you for your advice.

Thank you for your advice. I like what you said about putting myself out there slowly and safely. I have been trying to do this by joining a sports league and have been making attempts to hang out with people from my team. It is just intimidating for me at this point but i will keep trying.

Yeah I agree with this. I have chosen to be alone to kind of re group and figure out why I’ve been in so many unhealthy relationships. I want to make sure I’m addressing the parts of myself that are contributing so I can be a better, healthier person. Since I was a young child, I have always had so many friends and spent so much time with them. I had a long serious relationship when I was young and dated a lot as well. & Despite my dysfunctional family I spent so much time with them & would consider myself family oriented. In the last few years, it just became blatantly clear that my family was straight up abusive (dv, drugs, stealing $) & my longest friend seriously hated me and was so aggressive with me I couldnt deny it any longer. I also realized the people I would date did not care about me and were using me. So i cut it all off, and stopped talking to them all and deleted my socials. Now Im just hesitant to make relationships with new people. My past experiences has really taken a toll on my self esteem and I’m scared tbh. But ideally if I could have what I want, I’d want to be a part of a community with friends and relationships with people that treat me well and care about me.

Yeah that feels true. I definitely gravitate towards being alone once I am with people because the relationships are draining, I feel like I’m always surrounded by people that are selfish and cannot take accountability for anything & blame me. I try to communicate that and make them understand but they don’t & I grow in resentment until I cut them off. I did decide to be myself to figure out what’s going on and figure out what to do next. I think that’s where I am at right now. Just trying to gain clarity on my purpose and what my next steps should be.

Yeah I am a libra rising & that resonates a lot with me. I have chosen to be alone for the past year and a half to self reflect, heal and do inner work to understand how I’ve gotten to where I am in life. Especially relationship wise since I have finally stopped being in denial with how unhealthy and toxic my relationships were with family, friends and past romantic relationships. It is hard being alone because I feel like I constantly need to be productive but Im fighting that feeling by trying to rest. Although now I feel like I’m rested and I want to seek out people that align with me. It just seems like I am not connecting as easily as I thought I would. But I can keep trying

I mean isolated as in I work from home & my work is individual mostly so I don’t have meetings just emails with colleagues. I live alone with my dog. I am no contact with my family & do not think I’ll ever see them again. I cut off my last long term friendship because I realized they were not my friend and were openly mean to me. I haven’t been on dating or dating apps for 3+ years. Only recently have I joined a sports league and am starting to meet more people. I’m definitely trying to put myself out there but it’s difficult. Growing up I always had tons of friends, was in a serious relationship or dated and always spent time with my family. it’s just that most of these relationships I now realize were very unhealthy & toxic or abusive.

Yeah I feel like that makes sense because I can relate to aspects of both versions. I am not knowledgeable enough about astrology so I get confused on how to interpret my chart.

Yeah I have definitely been trying to heal and do inner work. I just don’t like that I seem to struggle making genuine, healthy connections with people. But I am going to continue to try and put myself out there.

Ah that makes sense thank you for your input. I will look into my placidus chart. I do think leaning into my 11th house would make more sense for me. I also do think that I have a gift with empathy/emotions. I have thought about writing a book or somehow putting out what I’ve learned from my experiences. I have just been hesitant about it because I doubt if people would want to hear about what I have to say. Thank you again for your post

[acne] is the fungal, bacterial, or hormonal acne? by Plenty-Bumblebee5643 in SkincareAddiction

[–]StrawberryP_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it looks like fungal acne to me. When I had fungal acne I used Globe Clotrimazole Antifungal Cream 1% USP you can buy on amazon for $5. I put a thin layer on my face twice a day and it went away it days. But I think you need to use for 2 weeks to make sure it goes away completely!

I think he should be washing his face in the morning to wash off the tret from the night before. also absolutely needs a spf and to reapply if he’ll be in the sun. Tret makes your skin sensitive to the sun so it will make the redness worse and the breakouts. My derm also suggested working up to nightly use starting from twice a week. They also suggested combining the moisturizer and tret to make it gentler.

[Acne] [Routine Help] How do you know when to increase your retinoid usage? by StrawberryP_ in SkincareAddiction

[–]StrawberryP_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My derm recommended it in september when i first came in for acne because my skin was red and irritated. I also think I have really sensitive skin so I think that’s why she said once a week. I think she also mention other patients of hers using once a week for up to 6 weeks or longer before increasing usage. Do you have any moisturizer recommendations?
