How do you deal with change?
Very poorly. I like to handle change on my own terms and if I'm not ready for it I become very irritable and unstable. This is why it's important for me to have enough time to adjust before I make a major life change instead of having it forced on me without prior consent.What are your fixed placements?
Sun in Taurus
Venus in Taurus
Saturn in Aquarius
Pluto in Scorpio
Ascendant in Scorpio
Chiron in Leo
How do you react to it?
I am typically very resistant to unwanted change. The exception of course is losing someone important to me because of how sudden that can be and since I have no control over what someone else decides. If there is not prior time to adjust I go through a period of adjustment rage. I used to go through periods of not taking my medication until this year when I experienced an unexpected shift in my mentality. I'm amazed my brain can still develop in any way considering my fatigue issues. If I initiated the change myself, however, no one can possibly stop me from making that change without advance effort to stop me before it's made.
How do you cope?
I don't know. My ability to cope probably has to do with my stubborn resistance to change I don't want. Not even my parents can *make* me do anything. This is a weird thing to say though, because I have so much respect for people of authority that I've handed over responsibilities that were mine over to other people just because those other people were in qualified positions that required knowledge I didn't have in the past. In some ways I've had to stop relying on health care professionals to fix my health issues and I've had to unlearn the weird concept of people being older than me meaning their opinions hold more weight. I don't know where I got that impression or how I started believing it.
Basically, as long as the change is mine it's an easy change and if someone else made it for me it's a difficult change that I never actually adjust to unless I want it as well.
Overall I know that change is necessary and I'm not opposed to making changes if I think something in my life has been outgrown.
