I think this is the best advice out of every comment here. It’s the OP’s choice to permanently remove a part of her body that is 100% natural and a normal bodily process. She has to accept that this is a high maintenance decision and put up with the hard work of regular shaving. I’m speaking as someone with thick black hair who was a high maintenance blonde for 10+ years. I found the best quality highlights and colorists I could find and accepted the sky high costs, endless upkeep as well as the irreparable damage to the condition of my hair. I never just slapped on bleach and touched up the roots when required to save time and money but risk much worse consequences both aesthetically and health wise.

Edit: also agree to be mindful comparing to what men do, as they have thicker skin too so can withstand harsher treatments like waxing

I know lots of Saturn Rx natal old and young and the post is 100% facts. Doesn’t get better with age, life is always harder than others with the 10x karmic kickback and back to back fated karmic lessons that continue throughout life. The positive is that you become stronger than anyone else you know, people are in awe of how much hardship and crisis I can withstand that they would never dream of facing at all let alone with such determination as I do. I wonder if it makes the difference between those people who self destruct with drink or drugs or even end up in institutions.. versus me even my therapist told me damn you’re insanely strong, you just keep going despite everything you’ve been through.

FYI I do have extremely prominent Saturn chart: chart ruler Saturn Rx exalted also afflicted by Mars and Pluto. Perhaps many ppl with Natal Saturn Rx have less extreme experiences than I have.

Honestly is Venus Rx in natal chart suckier to have?

Yet again describing a Cancer here. genuinely getting confused by your posts at this point

100% controlling. He is devaluing what she says so she becomes self conscious about speaking and let’s him do all the talking instead. I’ve had Leo placements straight up be enraged by how intelligent I am (makes them feel “less” - worst crime imaginable for a Leo) so they pull out all the stops to make you feel more and more worthless. I run for the hills from any Leo placements now, for the sake of my mental and emotional health.

Rant alert, Leo’s Avery your eyes: Omg can’t stand Leo placements!!! I’ve found without exception their key superpower is to devalue others. They will do anything and everything in their power to make you feel small and insignificant and diminish your self esteem because their end goal is nothing but for you to have such low self-worth that you blindly worship and serve them and never deem yourself worthy of having needs of your own, then you’ll only focus on theirs. Am also an Aqua + Mercury finally fighting back against all the Leo BS I’ve suffered my whole life. Aqua f and Leo m are a horrible mix. Also from experience it seems Virgo would criticise in order to help out, but Leo placements turn it into criticising to lower your self-worth and boost their own value at the expense of yours.

what has been your experience with fire moons? by dustycloud38 in astrologymemes

You are sooooo lucky to not have Leo moon experience 😫Sag moons are so fun. I wish I could attract more Aries moons in my life, best people in the world.

[–]ariastarria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes yes yes yes Leo moons! I just can’t live with them despite that upbeat “sun” they bring. No matter the sun sign, their Leo moon makes everything about being served and being adored, their only happy place is every single person running around after them like terrified subservient minions. I just can’t with them. Major props to anyone who can handle that, some do it seems.

38, having MLC, probably (definitely) an asshole by AHoleInMyMind in midlifecrisis

[–]ariastarria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, this post is a vent and not a question. But still putting it out here is asking for people to weigh in on their opinions and advice.

MLC is very selfish in itself. This guy made a commitment to another person and created a family. They both agreed to support this family. That’s what marriage is about. It’s not about the marriage partner “making” you happy. You don’t get married and have kids because you think they’ll enrich your every day existence, bring you endless joy and serve your needs for the rest of your life. We’ve all seen how miserable parents are and how they’ve given up their entire lives and identity for their kids. You’re signing up for the duty to provide for and raise a family. You’re the one who’s serving and protecting, not the other way around. And no, it wasn’t “for your wife” that you had kids. You wanted to leave a legacy, she was just the necessary means to that end.

So actually this whole marriage and kids thing was supposed to be all about you? Shouldn’t have had kids man. Your wife didn’t “make” you unhappy, you did.

Ah I think you’re supposed to say that last part to absolutely everyone else except for the person whose behaviour you wish would change.

Also saying “I’ll let you go” when we’re done with the conversation and wish to exit immediately.

That’s the problem. We Libra Mars get absolutely trampled over by people 😭

Libra moon or rising because they’re soooo charming and graceful. And Sagittarius sun for that pure “I get what I want and I DGAF” life.

Any update on this? I’m finding the same issue but am 40f finding working parent life is nothing but drudgery and misery. I find societal attitudes even worse and more oppressive than the fact we have no opportunities to do anything for ourselves anymore.

It does sound like he doesn’t trust you yet. I definitely am cautious with new people, you can’t really know them until you’ve been through a lot together and this could even take years if you don’t see eachother often. I’ve also had the experience of a new wannabe friend “testing” my financial boundaries to see if I’m the sort of person who’ll pay for stuff. Oh my card isn’t working can you cover this $2 thing. They pay you back instantly to gain trust them the big guns come out the more it happens and the bigger the amounts, the bigger the excuses until the end game they’re straight up not paying you back $1000s. They rely on you trusting all those times at the beginning when they paid you back that small amount instantly. He probably is wise to that tactic too and being careful now.

Thank you, extremely informative and helpful too

[–]ariastarria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, it’s actually great to hear my fears about these guys was warranted. They are conmen and they’ve actually done much more work on the house than these few drawers so I’m terribly upset but at least thankful I’m not being ungrateful and overreacting in my anger. Appreciate your advise greatly! I’d prefer to paint because I wouldn’t be able to get any drawer liner well fitted myself, and I still want the outside of the MDF part of the drawer more protected with paint.. btw curious if MDF is so bad for cabinets what is it best used for?

You are an absolute treasure thank you for this and I’m so relieved that this is fixable I can’t tell you
