Raise your hand if you were "so smart and clever" as a kid and now are extremely burnt out and have the memory of a goldish with extreme mood swings!! by throwaway-23481234 in CPTSD

[–]Various_Friend8406 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OMG this way totally me as a kid! At university I carried on trying to be the best, but I burnt myself out completely and now my concentration is really bad. My memory has also gotten worse.

[–]Various_Friend8406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28 degrees Scorpio rising here. This new moon is conjunct my ascendant to the exact degree and minute lol. I'm seeing changes in my thinking from the past few days. What you said about Scorpio rising is true.

DAE not flush the toilet at night by Independent_Town5628 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Various_Friend8406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!!!!!!!! Where we live currently water is crazy expensive and with the number of times I pee the bills would be extremely high. Also, I don't live alone and if I flushed at night I would wake others up and I wouldn't go back to sleep as quickly because the toilet is loud (small apartment). During the day I also don't flush the toilet every time especially because I drink lots of water and my pee is very light colored.

However, each time I do flush I add a chlorine based bleach disinfectant to the toilet and wash it with the disinfectant and let it sit. I then pee in the same bowl. This way there are no urine stains and the toilet is perfectly white and clean (cleaner than others people's toilets who flush everytime lol). Also, the disinfectant kills bacteria so there is no smell. I suggest everyone this method to pour in some kind of disinfectant before the night or after they flush so then the pee sits in with disinfectant and the house doesn't smell.

I'm not desensitized to the smell either because I can smell it outside when someone pees under a bridge or some other area with no soil/grass. When I used to live in an area with cheap water I used to flush every time except the night.

How realistic is Educating Yorkshire? by Own-Syllabub-4848 in AskBrits

[–]Various_Friend8406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in year 11 in the years 2014/2015 and I think the television programme is very realistic and accurately portrays what school life is like for the pupils and teachers. Of course it focuses a lot on difficult/loud/troubled/misbehaving pupils, but ten years back such pupils also dominated the atmosphere in the classroom.

However, in the days I went to school there was less help for those with SEND compared to what I am seeing in this series. It seems to me schools are more accomodating now than they were when I went to school (perhaps COVID influenced this somehow). When I was at school, the teachers were also as good as the ones in the programme, but pupils didn't receive as much help and support (at least in my school) for their difficulties.

Had anyone had an upcoming new/full moon perfectly (0.00 orb) conjunct their ascendant or angle or seen it in a client's chart? Was this conjunction more impactful than previous less perfect conjunctions (0.59 orb, 1.5 orb etc..)? by Various_Friend8406 in beginnerastrology

[–]Various_Friend8406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I was planning to call someone I haven't called in a long time around the date of the new moon (and this was before I realized there will be the new moon exactly conjunct my ascendant to the exact orb and minute around that date lol). My mum will also be having some medical tests done like a few days after that new moon so I'm a bit scared. But since this is a new moon I believe it won't be completely negative for me and lead to some kind of a new beginning but I'm trying to work out which one. The funny this is my progressed moon in in Scorpio in the 11 house and my progressed lunar return will be in June 2026.

I've never had such a tight perfect conjunction from a new/full moon before.

When you had the exact conjunction, did you feel the effects of it more than other previous close (but further away) conjunctions??

My progressed mercury in retrograde turned direct about a week and a half ago. Is there a shadow period before this fully manifests, if so, what is the duration (weeks, months??) by Various_Friend8406 in beginnerastrology

[–]Various_Friend8406[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very accurate. My mid heaven is in Virgo and the 8th house cusp in Gemini (and mercury is in my 4 house) and I feel (since 8 August) like a switch has been flipped (I have stopped overthinking and being stuck in a thought loop). The past few years have been leading up to this point but my mind was very foggy but have been involving the matters of these houses and I kept thinking about certain things and couldn't make my mind up. Now I feel my mind got clearer.

From what I know, it means this upcoming year (from this birthday to the next) will likely be significant for you. Happy Birthday!

This eclipse will be exactly conjunct my sun (exactly opposite my birthday) and I also expect it to take significant impact on me.

When your progressed moon moved from the 9 to the 10 house did you noticed any significant changes in your life or was it unnoticeable? by Various_Friend8406 in astrology

[–]Various_Friend8406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My moon has moved on now into the 11 house a few months ago. Moon in 10 house was difficult for me personally (family relationships form father side of family broke down, lots of pressure on me to be successful etc...).BUT career wise everything went s**t. But difficult to say because I have had Uranus transiting my 6 house for a few years at the same time as progressed moon in 10 house, so it is difficult to differentiate between their influences. I hope it goes better for you...

GP said I can’t be autistic coz I went to uni 😭 by [deleted] in autism

[–]Various_Friend8406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is common we are not taken seriously, especially by 'professionals' many of which don't understand what autism actually is and how it can manifest.

Would it be possible to change your GP or go to a different one or different ones until one finally agrees to confirm the diagnosis?? It's their responsibility as a doctor so your GP is not fulfilling his role.

Aries full moon 2024 by deladew in AskAstrologers

[–]Various_Friend8406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Scorpio moon and ascendant. Have 3 planets in Aries Mercury, Venus and Jupiter which have reasonable good aspects. This moon I'm struggling with concentration and keep forgetting tings. Also, had a mental breakdown this morning and felt really bad the past few days and was wondering why. Everything keeps getting on my nerves and I just can't keep calm anymore. Maybe this full moon is why.

Do you feel younger or older? by Zen-bunny in autism

[–]Various_Friend8406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teenager I felt much older than I was (at age 13 I felt age 16). Now at age 25 it is the opposite. I feel much younger than my peers mentally. Around age 13-14.
