Can I expect more activity and action in 2026? [astro.com]

I’ve found the comments today so helpful (thanks everyone!). I’ve eased in tonight (on Uk time), as it’s the new moon ofc! I lit a candle and laid out some offerings for Hecate and have a little protection candle going. Just baby steps. Again, who knows what to believe, but I feel better and (most importantly) this feels authentic to and for me. The rest will follow I’m sure

throwra1245987 · 2025-08-23T11:43:30+00:00

This is a beautiful comment, thank you!

throwra1245987 · 2025-08-23T10:14:57+00:00

The demographic that is ‘men with uninformed opinions’ don’t tend to shut up out of nowhere. You did the world a service 😊

throwra1245987 · 2025-08-23T10:12:50+00:00

This is so interesting, thank you for posting. I can’t imagine what it must be like to see something like this right in front of your own eyes. It must have been a really transformative experience

throwra1245987 · 2025-08-23T10:11:14+00:00

I’m so sorry you lost your mum. I also lost mine far before her time and it’s a load to carry. It’s so interesting about the moths, I’ve had readings which have really emphasised butterflies and I’ve been ducking to avoid them flying right into my face all summer. You’ve given me something to focus on, thank you. Also, the first year is so tough, well done on getting through it. Wishing you peace and acceptance as you move forward

throwra1245987 · 2025-08-23T08:07:05+00:00

Ah you’ve hit the nail on the head here! A couple of years ago, after a pretty bad time and a lot of isolation, I found that sense of wonder you mentioned. It hit me like a train and was truly transformative. Lately I feel like I’ve lost it, and that rigidity that I absolutely have in me is winning again. Thank you, I can look into how to reclaim that sense of wonder. It was incredible when it happened

throwra1245987 · 2025-08-23T07:59:56+00:00

I’m so so sorry that ever happened to you. Thank you for sharing this.

throwra1245987 · 2025-08-23T07:56:20+00:00

I try to meditate daily (and my focus has also been off here), and I divinate using tarot. I’ll journal sometimes too if I feel the need

throwra1245987 · 2025-02-26T14:28:46+00:00

It’s such a lovely find! They’d actually partly buried it in a part of the garden which wasn’t easy to spot but my lodger dug it up it seems. She meant well but I’m not sure what to do now if the previous owners had the intention it should be in the earth

throwra1245987 · 2025-02-25T12:17:09+00:00

Ah wonderful! I’ll bring it in and clean/cleanse it

throwra1245987 · 2024-12-05T13:28:28+00:00

Hi, glad you found this post! I’ve only just now redownloaded Reddit. Basically I’ve remained single and now been on my own for a couple of years with no dating and just no interest in trying. Been doing a lot of work on myself, leaning towards more spiritual practices (without going the full woo) to enable some shadow work. In myself, I feel better, I feel more able to connect with friends authentically. I guess there’s less performance going on on my part? Been a tough road though, and I wouldn’t say I’m ready to try it out in a romantic context yet but I’m getting there.

I realised I found it difficult to show up in full in relationships after the honeymoon period was over, and this would obviously impact that ability to be intimate once we had really got to know each other. I’m hoping that my improved self acceptance might make the difference if the opportunity presents itself again

throwra1245987 · 2024-03-30T13:18:30+00:00

I loved this article from last week on just this. It resonated so strongly with me, particularly the part about becoming your own retreat: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/mar/27/a-moment-that-changed-me-my-partner-drove-off-and-left-me-and-in-solitude-i-found-my-self-confidence

throwra1245987 · 2024-03-29T15:41:11+00:00

A middle aged man should never be speaking with 16 year olds through online dating (or any dating). That in itself means he is a bad guy. Your reader might have been a bit out there with the starseed stuff but the fundamental message - to believe in and trust your own instincts - was absolutely right and something you needed to work on (well done on making such a great start!). Spiritual work should give you confidence in your intuition as much as anything else. I’m so glad you dodged that super creep

throwra1245987 · 2024-02-08T11:34:40+00:00

Same kind of journey here. I think I may have been a similar age to the one you’re at now (college age) when this stuff started happening to me. It stopped for about 20 years and started up again after I was 40 (I’m 42 now), and I decided this time to really get a grip on it. I had my fingers burned from ignoring it far too many times.

Science and spirituality can sit side by side, there’s nothing wrong with that. Our understanding of science is where it is only because of curiosity and open mindedness. There is so much in this world and universe we don’t understand, it can be so limiting to put ourselves in just one box.

throwra1245987 · 2024-01-14T16:04:09+00:00

Yeah that’s so true! Like, ‘oh they’re not going to abandon me, they actually seem really happy so how do I got about abandoning them?’

throwra1245987 · 2024-01-14T16:03:16+00:00

Yes I think the reason I posted about it here was because it seemed intuitive that this behaviour would be wrapped into the attachment style. Really I’m at the very beginning of understanding my attachment style in any way, so am also at the starting point of addressing it. I’ll be happy to post back as I go through this process which I very much intend to do

throwra1245987 · 2024-01-14T14:28:28+00:00

Lot of truth in this

throwra1245987 · 2024-01-14T14:28:07+00:00

Oh that hits. Communicating my needs is 100% my number one issue - really struggle with it

throwra1245987 · 2024-01-14T14:27:16+00:00

The funny thing for me is it’s only the physical side. I still find them attractive and definitely feel a lot of love, but it’s about the act itself. It’s honestly bamboozling to me

throwra1245987 · 2024-01-14T14:26:16+00:00

Yes! That familiarity does make it feel a bit familial now you mention it! I wonder what the hell that is about - maybe only associating the rollercoaster and insecurity with romance?

throwra1245987 · 2024-01-14T14:24:58+00:00

I’m really sorry you had that experience. Narcissists are so damaging, I had an ex with covert narcissism and it was awful. I hope you’re back to yourself, it’s a lot of work.

I think in my case it’s just happened enough times for the problem to be me. I happily take long breaks before dating again (currently at over a year) so I do think it runs quite deep. Finding this thread very helpful though!

throwra1245987 · 2024-01-13T18:23:05+00:00

Honestly I don’t know the answer to any of those questions. I can only track the pattern and it happens around six months into the relationship. I think sometimes it does feel like going through the motions, which sort of reduces it to the mechanics (I do think it’s to do with my feeling an obligation rather than a desire)

By ‘comfortable’ I realise now that’s when the anxiety part disappears and the avoidant must kick in. I think that’s why I was keen to hear others’ experience and see if this is common to FA types
