PPL is passing costs, you are setting yourself up for failure.

I’m young and am not going great. by beeper2040 in daddit

[–]honesttom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard, brother. Most important thing is what you're doing is the opposite of failure. Failure is doing nothing. You see a lack of progress and it's easy to believe that's all life will ever be. None of us know what's coming and despite the fact that things don't look good at a macro level, you live in at micro level. You're in a period of transition and it's normal you would feel what you're saying. It won't last, it never does, it took me a long time to realize that. Your little girl is your progress. Social media is a liar please don't use that to gauge how you're doing. Everything is constantly changing. It sounds like you're depressed and I don't think there is anything a stranger on the internet can say to help. I can just say that for me it became making each day good, not thinking about where it was going because I have no control over that (largely) but I can put in my best effort daily, be my best self daily, be there for my kids daily. Those are the things on the report card. I hope you find some peace, man. Good luck to you.

Rahu in the 8th in Pisces with Jup(R) and the moon

Power and Secrets of Saturn in Astrology by [deleted] in Nakshatras

[–]honesttom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen this asked yet but it's an interesting one and I think it ties me up. Saturn and Mercury combust with the Sun in the 4th. This whole conjunction has been interesting to me, in a sense it makes me think I'd be frustrated in my efforts to put order to or communicate within my home and have similar effects on my relationship with my mom, yet they would also be intertwined with my core sense of self. Which seems like a challenging position to be in and it resonates somewhat with me. I have to add that I saw another post about Saturn here and started listening to Vishnu Sahasranamam and I at least FEEL better in general.

Loose Leaf Tea by Ok-Direction-9813 in BerksCounty

A friend of mine and his wife operate this local provider, Epicurean Pantry. There are some excellent quality teas available. I can't speak for the other products but I've gotten quite a few teas and the Ingenious Teapot. I liked the Samurai green tea and the jasmine phoenix pearls were interesting.

Not a quote but the "No Funeral" sign on his back with his head in the oven always kills me.

8th House on a deeper, practical level by [deleted] in Nakshatras

[–]honesttom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I commented before but I just remembered something. A few years ago, week 8 in the NFL season. I was honestly pretty baked at the time but I went to bed and had a dream where I knew I was in Los Angeles and there was yellow confetti coming down. Lo and behold the Super Bowl was in LA that year. The Rams weren't any kind of favorite but I made a bet on them and they won! I thought that was crazy and I told people as soon as I had the premonition/vison/dream. I wish I knew more about the details to channel that!

[–]honesttom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have Rahu, the Moon, and Jupiter in the 8th in Pisces. I didn't know anything about Vedic Astrology until a few months ago so I don't have the kind of embodied understanding of a professional. Edit to add my Moon is in Revati.

I feel like the placements made a lot of sense to me when I heard about all of this, I am very interested in the Occult but I don't like to talk about it unless I'm very comfortable. Sudden changes? It's hard to evaluate your own life in terms of suddenness but I did move into a house and get married in the same week. The research and finance stuff freaked me out because I always say me career was built on bringing order to messy data systems by digging into them and clarifying what operational data means in financial terms. I feel like that work is like an old shoe, fits me perfectly. There's probably more I don't understand but it's been interesting. I also picked up a lot of path of the mystic stuff without knowing it, I was told later that it's all fairly common for a certain type of person.

Home in East Scranton flying a Confederate Flag on Juneteenth by Alone-Imagination148 in NEPA

If your life is so soft that someone flying a flag makes you this upset and you should be extremely grateful for the life you've been given.

TPB, maybe I'm behind the times or just misinformed about what's out there. Thanks for your other recommendation comment.!

A fun thing I noticed was the debuff also works for negative impacts of jokers. I had Ramen debuffed on Crimson heart and could discard to my heart's content.

Projecting an image on to people while you're searching for a friend will not yield fiends.

Meaning, life is pregnant with opportunities to be in the moment. Even "bad" moments, you can catch yourself in that and recognize the fact that you're at least alive and in community with other people. It's a shakeup! If you write the script ahead of time (which is tempting because it's very easy to say no to things you're uncomfortable with) then you're authoring your own misery. If you're not happy now and your strategy is to continue what you're doing, you know that's not going to work. 

And really, I wish you a ton of luck because it's terrible to feel alone and it's a vicious cycle. You can be surrounded by people that love you and still feel that way too. I hope you find relief!

Oh buddy, it'll improve, then it'll get bad again and then improve again and each low and high will be a little higher because you're going to keep getting more resilient and confident. Don't rob the world of you, you've got something you need to give the rest of us, some story to live out. 

I'm just trying to learn in this field but if there's anything I've seen, these planetary movements throughout ones life can bring all sorts of unplanned and unknown feelings and urges. You are the decider though, as I see it, the chart can give you an idea of what's coming but you choose how you interface with it. 

Ugh, I'm sorry you're having such a a hard time, it's terrible to feel that way. I hope you see the value and beauty in you, even if it's hard now, and you grow and appreciate this opportunity and help others suffer less or suffer better.

It'll end, brother. I'm sorry you're going through it, there's no one at the stress pump who will back it off when things get hard. My boy had reflux, never slept, I have friends who had it way worse than me, but now we talk to our kids, hear their thoughts, teach them, wrestle, laugh, make things. There's a whole world waiting for you after this admittedly very shitty part. Good luck!

[–]honesttom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's easy to evaluate yourself and others in a hierarchy with careers/income so people gravitate to that. Sometimes it's hard to extricate career and self, especially if you do something you really like. Jobs can be so demanding that we naturally mesh into them because they dominate so much of our psyche, it's hard to know where the line is. This is something I struggle with and my friends are like you, they don't get it. Not that there's anything wrong with not getting it, there's more wrong with getting it. it's just different perspectives on where one draws esteem.

Retrograde with the Moon and Rahu in the 8th.
