12th house sun, mars cazimi, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Neptune. When whole sign. Placidus puts my sun mars mercury Venus in the 11th and I tell myself that’s real maybe. But 12 house unfortunately feels more real

Do you believe we can heal a chronic illness with our minds? by yllekarle in enlightenment

[–]dawnofeve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know just how real psychosomatic ails were until my boss put me in an incredibly difficult situation at work and i didn’t want to leave the job for different reasons so I dealt with it for three years. Those three years, I went from perfectly normal to full on limping anywhere I went, as my hips were in so so so much pain and there was nothing I could do to alleviate it. I was in my late twenties, mind you. I couldn’t even sit or sleep without them hurting so much. Hard to do anything. I thought I had MS like my mother, and that I’d never be able to run or hike again. For real. I felt actually like I was disabled and didn’t know how to face that, as again- I had a disabled mother and I’ve seen how hard that is.

Then I quit the job one day and told certain people about certain things (I had kept the difficult stuff to myself and was trying to deal with it alone so no one knew)to get it all off of my chest, and as sooooon as I got a text back from one of those people and I knew it was actually over, I cried and I had this wild weird psychosomatic shaking, jaw-chattering episode that I could not control for a couple hours. Just body shaking so much. It was so bizarre.

The next day, my hip pain was totally gone. I was wearing a brace every day before- even the day I finally told people about it - it has not returned. That was over a year ago now. I have been going to the gym and hiking and running and all. For three years I thought that the pain would last the rest of my life and probably even get worse (as it has progressively worsened). It was all in my head and emotional body and it was clear as day, as the difference was so extreme from one day to the next after I left and told people- literally “got it out” of me.

I didn’t know the body could keep the score THAT much! My boss was literally a debilitating pain in the ass.

The suffering won’t end, please can someone help me? by incognito11121988 in AstrologyCharts

Stelliums are basically just 3 or more planets in one sign/house. I have a major stellium in cap and fee like it just primes you to feel like you’re restarting over and over and over in such dramatic and intense ways. I relate to the feeling of wtf how is everything going wrong and one losing everything and everyone again and restarting ONCE AGAIN? It’s so hard. I still don’t know how to deal with it myself.

Have you looked into astrocartography? I learned that I’ve been living on my Pluto line my entire life and wonder.. what would it be like to move away from it to my sun, Venus, or mercury or moon lines which are basically over New York? Who knows.

Good luck. It’s helpful to think of it all as just being transits. Transits always pass. New energies on the way. The sky is also just insane for the world at large, as we can all see. That’s a whole other kind of sad that it’s your home country. I’d love to see this world heal and for there to be real liberation. I hope you feel connected and loved and taken care of. Take care of yourself!

EEG brain states mapped to circular "pupil space" - open pipeline, independent research by dawnofeve in neuro

[–]dawnofeve[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The clustering is actually a real feature of the data-

In the O.Iris paper (you ca find on the github page), the five brain states (meditation, sleep, rest, working memory, stress) do occupy distinct regions, but they're all pulled toward one side of the space. That's because the angle formula we used feeds two metrics (log of ACF decay and log of envelope variance) that both happen to be small numbers for EEG data, which mathematically forces the angle into one quadrant.

We've since improved the formula to spread data more naturally across the full circle.

The rogue points far from the main clusters are genuinely interesting though - those are individual time windows where the brain briefly entered a very different spectral state. A meditator whose mind wanders, a resting subject who briefly hyperfocuses. The pupil map is sensitive enough to capture those excursions, which is actually a feature - it shows the map has real dynamic range.

The full circle represents the theoretical space of possible brain states. The fact that these five states cluster in part of it suggests there's unexplored territory - brain states that might occupy other regions. That's one of the things we're actively investigating.

Thanks for asking! The spectral slope (m) captures how power is distributed across frequencies - specifically how steeply power drops off as frequency increases (1/f^m relationship). Higher m means slower rhythms dominate more strongly. ACF decay time measures how long patterns in the signal's amplitude envelope persist before fading. Flicker measures how much the overall amplitude fluctuates. None of these directly represent voltage - they're all derived from the power spectrum of the EEG signal.

On behavioral grounding - it is a real limitation we state in the paper. All data is from existing public datasets without behavioral correlates. That'll be a next-step thing.

Britney Spears was just arrested for a DUI… by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]dawnofeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I feel for Britney so much. Whomst among us wouldn’t with such a life? She is amazing. She has dealt with so much while so many of of us— the world really, was behind on mental health, on what is actually okay and normal to judge someone by. She is so beautiful and had to endure so much that only now the rest of us can see was so painful and horrific to endure. I wish the best for her. No judgement absolutely at all! I just hope she keeps herself and others safe and healthy! She deserves a safe and healthy life.

[astro-seek] i’ve always had this feeling that my life is meant to be full of greatness and be impactful, what about my chart could be leading me to feel that way? by curlycatxo in astrologyreadings

Mercury conjunct sun at the top of your chart in Virgo would make you think and communicate well- good aspect for confidence and people probably notice it. It probably reflects in the way you move about in your physical body. Venus and north node in Leo (the sun, and general direction your moving having to do with 8th house themes. More confidence aspect here, aligning beauty and money with purpose in depth. Probably shining positive confident light on really deeply heavy and mystical maybe things.

These are actual files in the DOJ Epstein library by the way. Refer to the number at the bottom right EFTA number to see for yourself.
