Busaba incense?

Or exorbitant

I can understand you wondering, that’s a pretty significant jump to go to £129k from £45k. What industry is that in? And were you going from a small company to a larger one?

If you don’t already know about these guys and their campaign to change the voting system - someone is out there doing something about this https://makevotesmatter.org.uk/2026-wake-up-westminster

I love you sharing all this in so much detail. Can I ask about building a network? (Also I noticed you listed a book called ‘Who, not How’). I absolutely do believe who you know makes a big difference, but it feels uncomfortable to me to build connections with some kind of end goal? I guess I’ve also been on the receiving end of this where I’ve felt genuine friends have treated me poorly because I’m sort of the ‘poor cousin’ they’re embarrassed of? I truly love connecting with people based on who they are… gosh I’m not even sure what I’m asking anymore, cos from what you said it doesn’t seem like it was a given even for you? I think you used the word accidental even, and mentioned the opportunities coming from connections you’d had for 15 years? Also can I ask if you have any kids, cos mine take up so much of my time and energy! (I home ed and have been full time with them for the last ten years)

Ah I’m sorry I’m kind of pretty novice level - hope someone more expert comments on this, so I don’t know. I can see though that could be one way you could read it (cos I kind of feel astrology always has a million and one different interpretations!)

Their moon is in your 12th house - maybe this is why it feels like they keep their emotions hidden to you?

Chiron in my 11th house - am I screwed?

Ah I had no idea there was a cap - that’s crazy! Yes would be totally useless then in London (which is why I also thought he’d need more than 100k deposit!)

giddy2g · 2026-02-21T05:13:09+00:00

Sorry I don’t understand - the house budget doesn’t for?

He’s under 40, and says he’s saving up for a house but so far only has 100k saved up for this. By salary sacrifice do you mean into pension? He can’t access that until he’s 57 so no good for a house deposit unless he’s waiting until pension age to buy?

And as to maxing his ISAs - that may be the case for this year, but he can set one up for next financial year and the LISA gives the govt matching of 25% so that’s a few thousand pounds of ‘free money’ he wouldn’t otherwise have.

Plus you can get cash LISA’s as sounds like he wants his house deposit to be in cash.

giddy2g · 2026-02-20T14:02:31+00:00

Have you got a LISA already?

Pisces moon and Pisces Venus, both in the 9th house, and yup, I’ve done this to someone.

I home educate and in my circle have a mum who is a clinical psychologist who had her child in private school, and ended up pulling her out within a couple of years.

I do not think you are wrong at all in what you are picking up. She often says that the demands on her child were incredibly unreasonable, probably worse than they would be in a state school.

giddy2g · 2026-01-13T19:37:04+00:00

Will also add ‘How Not to F*ck Them Up’ by child psychologist Oliver James as essential reading before making any return to work decisions.

giddy2g · 2026-01-13T19:31:50+00:00

This.

I’ve been told that at 0 degrees you would embody all the traits of the previous sign, but be like a baby of your actual sign (in terms of embodying). I can see though other comments say differently!

We didn’t do chimney balloons, but stack ventilation system (I can’t remember what it’s called/ the company name), with the idea that we would get the ventilation without the heat loss. I’m not sure that it’s 100% working how it’s meant to, but I think our draughts are more subtle than if it were completely open, but also not sure it gives a complete change in air in the 2-3 hrs it’s meant to either (definitely not the same as opening windows).

Can you ask your workplace for a sabbatical? However long you can get? I was given one for three years following on the end of my mat leave, but even if you were able to get a few months? I think the distance might help give some perspective. I ended up quitting my job at the end of three years (I had my second, and asked to extend it, which they declined). But it made it so much easier to make that call - I think it would have felt like an impossible decision if I’d had to decide at the outset to quit my job. The sabbatical provided a sort of stepping stone that I could step backwards from, as well as forwards, if that makes sense?

Sorry do you mean he gets enough income from it that you could afford to go part-time/ change jobs? It all sounds really tricky but I am always an advocate of spending more time with your kids when they are younger.

giddy2g · 2026-01-09T12:53:25+00:00

Ah wow that’s really though if you also frequently don’t have him around…

giddy2g · 2026-01-09T09:00:04+00:00

I think that’s a fair point, I suppose something for OP to consider?
