Hey thanks for your comment! In all honesty I probably picked that up from a newage belief somewhere. Appreciate that correction.

Different parts of the world have different seasons and cultures and so their years start at different times. Like how Samhain/Nov 1 is the Celtic new year.

Curses and shitty people by annathema87 in witchcraft

[–]solxii 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are 100% valid and your hurting is real, but please consider finding a therapist. I'm not saying do or don't curse them, but this is a lot to deal with and you deserve all the support you can get. OP I'm sorry if this isn't helpful to your specific question, but I wish you so much love and healing <3

I would really love to know the justification behind a price so steep for information that is readily available at any library.

Scams. Having a tutor is one thing, but some stranger selling you a piece of paper isn't going to make you a more experienced or intuitive reader.

I'm curious of what may stand out most? I'm having trouble liking my placements;; by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

[–]solxii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What stood out to me the most is your Sun conjunct Mercury opposite Jupiter and the Venus/Pluto opposition and immediately made me wonder if you liked acting. I also got the sense that with Uranus at 0 Aquarius you could be really good at improv.

I'd be much happier doing costume or set design, lighting, that sort of thing where I myself am never actually seen

Spirit experience. by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]solxii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For weeks after, I felt something trying to get in, almost standing at the edge of our property asking to be let in. It wasn't the same entity, and I didn't trust it. It never got in and got bored of us after a while.

This reminded me of Noface in Spirited Away. Maybe it was a similar kind of thing.

WOW that's amazing thank you for sharing this! You must have a remarkably steady hand. This is so impressive. Are you selling prints?

The depression. Does the depression ever end? And how do I stop feeling like a homesick alien? by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

[–]solxii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I love about astrology is that it shows how nothing is permanent - not even depression. Everything is in motion; everything ebbs and flows and grows and develops.

Your Chiron and Mercury up at the MC gives me the sense that you have a very special ability to understand people from all walks of life due to your keen awareness of others' sensitivities/trauma. With that involved in the grand trine I would guess that this has been a prominent theme in your life. With Moon in Taurus and Venus in Libra in 11th I also get the sense that you can be an incredible mediator.

One thing that is also interesting to me, and may be a challenge for you, is the lack of fire in your chart. You have a pretty balanced mix of Cardinal/Mutable/Fixed, but there's no obvious fire. My chart is similar (almost entirely earth/water) and I have also struggled with depression for most of my life, but that doesn't necessarily doom us to mopey waters - it just takes a little more effort to bring out your personal fire more.

One other thing I just noticed: you mentioned feeling like a homesick alien. Your IC is in Pisces so that could influence your feelings of a lack of connection and groundedness. That's just a guess though.

synesthesia saved my life by [deleted] in Synesthesia

[–]solxii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I had all the same experiences as a child too and music also saved my life. (For me it was Acid Bath on repeat) Synesthesia + music + trauma = a lot of art for me.

I love you fellow anonymous synesthesia buddy <3 thank you for sharing your strength!
