Trying to figure out answers so thought I’d hop in here. Has anyone else felt completely stuck and paralyzed the past 6 months? It feels like a shift has happened, I feel a heavier energy in me and everything I do to try to “feel better” or whatever has not made me feel 100% myself. I feel like a spark is gone and I have isolated myself. I would say this started in July and it’s been painful to be around others. Like my mind is so busy and I can’t make sense of any of it. And I feel like this is preventing me from moving forward in any way. Making friends/ meeting new people, dating, and just overall socializing feels like so much effort. Nothing feels easy. Any thoughts or insight into when this will get better are appreciated.

What retrograde do I have?

This planet can have sudden, cathartic out-of-the-blue impact when it is forming a stressful aspect. It can also be a revelation, and many astrologers associate it with modern astrology.

Case in point, u/Ok_Raspberry270 posted yesterday or the day before in r/astrologyreadings asking advice. They have not just one, but 2 legitimate Fixed Grand Crosses. (So I added them)

Their chart features that 20° of Fixed signs with Leo Ascendant and Moon at 20°. Scorpio, and both Saturn and Uranus within orbs at 16° Aquarius and 15° Taurus respectively.

So, transiting Uranus in their 10th is legit offering stress and conflict from career, possibly mother (oh dear, it's Thanksgiving week!), the world in general- but also looking for alternative answers.....like astrology.

So, I know it's been quiet here lately, but I thought this particular transit would make a great teaching point in case- and please welcome them to the sub, if they choose to visit.

I figured this would be a good place to ask this. I was born under this transit and would assume others here were too. Does anyone have any insight into what this means for the upcoming transit?

It’s difficult to find any solid research on this but have heard it can be a challenging thing to have in your chart. I would think that this upcoming transit could be a good thing.

I know fixed signs are associated with being obsessive, which I relate to. Something I’ve noticed is that I tend to obsess over a person/place/thing REALLY hard for a bit (typically under 6 months) then I completely lose interest. It’s as if I became disgusted over the obsession.

I also have to say this tendency is never beneficial, more specifically in my love life. It feels as when I obsess or chase something, it doesn’t work out.

I wanted to post this in here to see if anyone else can relate/give me some insight into why this occurs. It’s become such a frustration because I can feel my energy shifting into this but it feels like I can’t stop it.

Just now learning I have grand trine central up in my chart lol, so any advice or info concerning that would be much appreciated!

Im soon to be 24 on june 30th. Just now seemingly getting my life on track..it is what it is. Somebody wanna give an insight on my chart? Id really appreciate it :)

I've added a fellow professional astrologer who also helps mod the other group I deal with, r/astrologyreadings... u/Baumguard to help inform and grow this little community.

Things have been pretty quiet, and that's okay. He's just here to help mod and also answer questions when he can, if he can (same as me) according to his own experience.

because i sure did but im curious if anybody else had that happen

While some of you may be aware that Pluto recently entered Aquarius, Mars and Jupiter (NorthNode) are also in the early degrees of Leo and Taurus respectively, and square. This is going to influence those with Fixed planets in and around 4-6 degrees currently, and it’s typically an impulsive, not-really-thinking-things-through aspect. Which, when acted up, is not always a bad thing, but as you’ve come to realize, often ends in recrimination.

So, you’ve been informed.

I’m not sure if it has to do with the eclipse earlier in the month, or with summer approaching and my dear London getting less gray and more full spectrum of colors, but I have been feeling great!

Bit of context I have been depressed for about 2/3 years, I went through an identity crisis amongst other things and I’ve been really struggling with motivation and all the good stuff that comes with being espresso depresso. For the past two weeks I have been feeling incredible! I have so much more energy than I used to and I feel like I’m getting my powers back 🥲 I haven’t felt like this in years but this reminds me of the old me and I’m very happy she’s still alive somewhere. I have to say I also just finished my university degree (last hand in last Friday) which overall has been like delivering a child to me, so I also feel relieved because I’m done.

Has anyone else, my fellow cross bearers, felt especially good recently?

With a lot going on in the fixed elements, it made me wonder have y’all been feeling the energy intensely or undergone any transformations the past few years.

For myself, it’s been a lot. I do remember feeling a bit more anxious since 2019. Honestly even before this year, I’ve been more to myself and noticed changes in different areas. Have been feeling depressed since earlier last year and before then, never experienced it.

I’m reposting here because, well idk. Maybe I’m desperate.

This is gonna be NSFW but assuming we are all adults here born at least 1999 it should be fine. Be warned y’all may be triggered by some things I say but I really need to get it out in a place that MAYBE will finally understand me?

Born July 10th, 1999. Cancer Sun in 7th, Gemini moon in 6th and Cap rising. I mean like… I feel like there is nobody like me. I have Pluto, Lilith, and Chiron just chillin in 11th house. I have like… no friends. Literally none. None of my friend groups last, groups but also individual friends.

Also it doesn’t help that Neptune resides in my 1st house, so everyone sees me differently than I really am. Even I see myself differently than I really am and I see it. I don’t even know who the fuck I am. God Damn Neptune in 1st house. It’s a blessing and a curse because I’m constantly in fantasy land, it helps me to escape this seeming hellscape of a planet. I’m a writer (Gemini Moon trine Neptune in Aquarius) and I always have been, I’m writing a book now. But other than that, I love drugs. Sorry but I don’t want to hide who I am. Drugs literally helped me awaken to being spiritual. Pluto and “the gang” (Lilith and that bitch ass Chiron) ostracizes me from everyone else so everyone thinks I’m fucking weird even though if you just had an open mind you could see who I really am. Even my boyfriend doesn’t even like me that much, specifically because of my drug use (which ironically is the reason why he liked me when we first met he just didn’t know). I just fucking love doing ketamine and 2cb and weed and nitrous, and feeling like I finally understand everything. I hate that people think Alcohol is okay when it’s literally so fucking dangerous, literally causing people to kill, commit crimes, traumatize their families, and here I am sitting here alone in my room getting high as fuck “breaking” multiple “laws” and realizing that things could be so much different (in a BETTER WAY) if only the assholes in power would just let us have freedom of our minds. We are literal slaves. We will NEVER be fucking happy because we are trapped in a system meant to drain us of our happiness, our will to live and replaces it with fucking instant gratification (social media and shit).

Anyway I’m done with the rant. I joined this group because I want to find someone who understands me like I understand myself. I wish I had just one person who knows me, like when you look in a mirror, and you put your hand onto it, and you know that person on the other side inside and out. I want that person. I need that person.

When will I find somebody who thinks like me? I’m so desperate and tired of this repeating cycle of constant ostracism and being different. Fuck. I can’t take it anymore. This was more of a desperate rant than anything but I just… idk. Maybe someone in this sub will see it and realize we are similar? Maybe we can be friends? I know a lot of us already have similar problems like sociopathic/abusive parents, some of us are writers and have money issues. But like I just really really want someone who I can get on that deep level. Who I can be myself with and not feel judged like I wouldn’t judge someone else. I wish I had that person. There’s nobody like me.

I've mentioned posting the list of all of your (and another 20-30 something persons') OP's, which include Username, chart link, Original Post link over the past several years, which might make it easier to compare notes; but I don't want to creep anyone out by doing that.

I'll leave this up for a few days.

Opinions?

So far, 5 days later, it looks like

Mainly shrug: most of the sub

For: 2 1/2

Against 1/2

Just curious - I’m an INFJ :)
