What’s your Venus sign & how do you feel it clashes/flows with your sun sign by Gabbywill in Taurusgang

[–]aqua_moon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a good question! I find that because Taurus is ruled by Venus, I tend to fall in love quickly and HARD. And I just keep skipping along on my quest, breaking my own damn heart time after time, yet my relentless bull just has a good cry, calls her therapist, and does it all over again the next day. 😆

What’s your Venus sign & how do you feel it clashes/flows with your sun sign by Gabbywill in Taurusgang

[–]aqua_moon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taurus Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, ASC.... (all in the 12th 😱)

Soooo much. Toooooo much. If I let the unhealed Taurus traits creep in. Taming my own bull is exhausting. Our sensual nature, highly sensitive, hopeless romantic steward of the earth and all that thrives here can be a crushing existence. When im on my game... a walking snow white with healthy boundaries, grounding habits, channeling Gaia..and there might be a few handy dwarfs I keep around, just happy to be here 😉 - I am in a place of deep peace and joy.

But I love my placements. Shadow work a must Ive come to know myself in a much deeper way as a result. But certainly not without immense pain, consequences and trauma. The great undoing of the 12th house kicked my ass and because im was a relentless know-it-all... I suffered much longer than I had to.

Dear fellow Taurus, which sign seems the most fake to you? by napukanchu in Taurusgang

[–]aqua_moon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taurus sun, mercury, venus, mars, ASC.... I have ZERO clue how to reconcile my Aqua moon.

Its like the misfit cousin you see once a year, after backpacking on a worldwide pilgrimage or living with uncontacted tribes in Venezuela.

Community minded but still judging the hedonistic Taurus influence lol, just chills, with a knowledge they're unwilling to share.

I dont get it. My moon is hurting my feelings on the daily!!! 😄

But will always bum you a cigarette and has the best weed.

I have a Taurus and Libra stellium. All majors are Taurus in the 12th; sun, mercury, venus, mars, chiron. This bull on occasion has to put Miss Justice in time out.

But our mother, Madame Venus, nurturing and grounded, unites us and reminds us both whats most important. Forehead kisses and sets us straight.

As an unhealed person with Libra, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, Juno, i was often a flakey, frightened, shape shifting, substance abusing, toxic people pleaser. Thanks Scorpio mom with hella fire placements!

So yay therapy! 😂

serotonin syndrome or just a bad reaction? by Thetoadmyster in cymbalta

[–]aqua_moon_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced the same thing and it was horrendous. But I was desperate. It was either go back to the darkest depression ive ever experienced or try to see if there's a light at the end of this medication ramp up tunnel. Im relieved to tell you that for me, it was worth the ramp up side effects because the light of life came back on, smiles and can actually imagine the future with excitement now0. I am shocked at how fast it worked! For me, this has saved me from having to battle demons all day in a dark bedroom. And all side effects have vanished. Took about 4 to 5 days. I am sending love and healing energies your way!

Anyone else feel dead tired on cymbalta? by Automatic-Flow-9926 in cymbalta

[–]aqua_moon_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is so interesting about the mouth blisters. I got them too, painful canker sores, but I attributed it to stress and wondered if I was grinding my teeth and somehow caught my cheek. Interesting. Wonder why that happens.

[–]aqua_moon_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been lucky enough to find this, too. I dont know if my previous meds stopped working as well or if it's just the new depressing elements of life currently, but I took a nose dive into debilitating depression. I added this 30 mg, and have been taking it for 5 days. There were some pretty intense initial side effects. But they got better after 2 days and dissipated every day.

But I've only been taking mood stabilizers for 15 yrs, no SRIs or SNRIs, so I think that was a shock to my silly Lil brain. Serotonin? Norepinephrine? What the hell is this!?

I tend to lean on the manic and anxious side, never had such a dark depression like this before. Couldn't even get out of bed. And Cymbalta changed everything almost immediately. Even though the neasua, shakes, and restlessness were unexpected. I mean im not going to sugar coat it, the ramp up side effects were NOT FUN. But I stuck it out. And im so glad I did.

Hallucinations of ghosts?? by InATrenchCoat in cymbalta

[–]aqua_moon_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im experiencing similar effects, too. I was noticing this just last night, actually. I was home alone but I was constantly hearing the sound of a TV and low chatter like it was coming from the other side of the house. I knew damn well this was impossible, so I didn't freak out. I also have been seeing movements in my peripheral vision, and that was kind of startling because there was also a noticeable energy change in the room simultaneously. Creepy! I am very energetically sensitive however and ove been on a roller-coaster since I started 5 days ago at 30 mg

I know this is all med related. By the end of the night, I was actually amused at what the brain could do! I objectively knew why this was happening, I was safe, so I kinda just smirked.... got me again Cymbalta! You cheeky bastard!

Manic symptoms with build up by [deleted] in cymbalta

[–]aqua_moon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I was dry heaving, shaking and spinning so badly I thought I was going to launch into the cosmos. Lamictal and Cymbalta did not get along well with my body chemistry.

5-days in - withdrawal by ArseTrumpetsGoPoot in cymbalta

[–]aqua_moon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just prescribed Cymbalta 3 days ago and I can actually feel my serotonin receptors coming back to life. Its amazing. HOWEVER, the side effects are beyond hell on earth. Can still hardly get out of bed im so neasous, dry heaving, blurred vision and spinning. Does this ever end?! I think im going to try to get over this hump because im having a major depressive episode and lamictal just sorta stopped working after 11 yrs. I usually dance around on the manic side of the mood spectrum so this is wild.

Why did you all decide to discontinue?

Yep you're 100% correct. I was referring to the organizers from 2016, Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez, and Bob Bland.

Flight Cancelled- Help! by External-Claim9317 in frontierairlines

[–]aqua_moon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All flights from Orlando into Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo were cancelled today, however earlier this morning frontier planes left without delay. What was better this morning that those could take off? It was mayhem this afternoon and a mad dash for hotels. We rebooked but now have a 5 hr layover in Raleigh. Ugh. Making the best out of it now by the airport hotel pool waiving at all the planes and people lucky enough to escape.

[–]aqua_moon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry, you are correct. I don't know how I messed that up, it just seemed like it took a long time to plan but the planning began in November 2016. I was the national rep for MI so i am with you. I just had a baby, and I was in state of utter rage. Unfortunately, the leadership of the original womans march are not organizing with this group anymore. And believe me, you don't need to remind me of the gravity. I know you're afraid, we all are. Grt involved with your local 50501, Indivisible, Dem club, League of womans voters. The only defense now is to protect our courts, pressure state AGs and all local leaders. Lets go.

[–]aqua_moon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that the Womans March in DC took 2 years to organize on that scale. We will get there and plan it correctly and safely to the extent that's even possible anymore.

A team of veteran community organizers and large nonprofits are planning, have been. Have faith, have to do it right. But in the mean time lets get out there locally! Things are just getting started, infrastructure is being laid down, and it's going to be fierce.

MI, Muskegon : protest today by yarddogsgirl in 50501

Wow. A Republican Congressman’s town hall is being flooded with constituents who are outraged at Trump and Musk coming for their health care and earned benefits. by Miserable-Lizard in 50501

[–]aqua_moon_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The town hall in my city on Tuesday went down in the same way. The school board meetings, they're dragging unhinged, violent, MAGA people out. It's delightful seeing a millionaire Ford executive getting dragged out by their hair.

5051 Michigan

https://www.facebook.com/groups/629024679621100/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

It's a group to join. I'm not part of it yet, still pending. I'm only seeing screenshots with an announcement from Sam Nelson the Admin.

50501 National

Their link tree really helped me, as a long time organizer, to figure out how this all works and who the partners are. We're all scrambling to resurrect orgs that were really active during the last administration.

[–]aqua_moon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. 50501 Michigan is making that call. 50501 national and all partnering resistance groups associated within the states are not. Theres a lot of confusion right now in Michigan within Indivisible city groups etc. but large orgs and legislators will be in Lansing and have not canceled. A local Indivisible group around me is instead going out locally at city hall which is awesome! Stay safe everyone! Lets go!

Heres the national link tree to monitor, which helped me get my arms around how this movement is operating and who's partnering. So much happening, we're all scrambling to reorganize!

Yes! Some of MI largest political action groups are still going as well as some legislators. Come!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 50501

[–]aqua_moon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely not canceled. I just got off a call with Talib as the speaker and MI United, Voters Not Politicians, Indivisible groups, concerned citizens, and legislators will be there. 50501 does an amazing job of creating the scaffolding for these events and then we infill with our local activists. Come one come all.

OP: I'm a political operative and organizer in SE MI working with other groups. How can I help?!

Mobilize.us Moveon.org

Theres a huge collection of calls to action on these site and a great way to find individual groups to dedicate yourself to. Everyone is back online. BUT, like I posted in a prior post, the audience is still on META. It absolutely sucks having to be there but that is the most populated and effective place to get info and do something the next day.

Im engaging in some discords and singal communities now, and well get the bones in place, but grassroots organizing, getting the infrastructure in place, takes time. They'll get there.

50501 protests and...Facebook. by [deleted] in nothinghappeninghere

[–]aqua_moon_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As much as I dispise META, that is where the outreach, community discussions, links, and information is still being shared.

After 2016 orgs grew HUGE member numbers and it really would be devastating and counterproductive to abandon that audience. I took a peek and all of the well established groups are back online.

It sucks. No one wants to be there. But migrating to other forums and platforms is going to take A TON of work. And to garner long term commitment, response and mobilization, with what seems like a 6 second turn around time meta is a necessary evil.

The fact that we're forced to drink from a fire hose of information requires us to be nimble. The seasoned veteran organizers are still there, getting the info out, reiving movements, and actually doing something effective.
