In my 23 years on this earth i have met a few people who wanted to just pack up and move to a new country/state and "start fresh". Personally this has never made sense to me, probably because im super fixed. Lol i mean i guess i could understand it if you were a fugitive from the law or your reputation was shot to hell. But what would cause someone to do this when their life is fairly normal? One of my friends informed me the other day that he is thinking about "moving to another state for a new start". I personally would hate to just randomly move on the spur of the moment. I like the familiarity of going into a gas station and the clerk knowing what smokes im going to buy without me opening my mouth or going into a restaurant and the waitress already knows what drink im getting. Not to mention the familiarity of your family and friends. Im all for travel and new experiences and meeting new people but i dont understand someone basically throwing everything that they know down the tubes and moving to a foreign place where they are a nobody. What astrological placements or aspects would encourage this type of behavior? IP: Logged |

in my opinion Jupiter in the 9th house usually indicates a person who would live abroad, in the foreign country...I saw many examples and it shows always to be true..I have jupiter in 9th as well and yes, I was moving all my life.IP: Logged |

I've done this!My bets are on - Mercury square Uranus.. or Mercury conj Jupiter or Jupiter square Saturn... or my Gemini AC.. I don't like familiarity at all. It bores the crap out of me.I just want change for the sake of change.
I don't have much fixed energy. IP: Logged |

I'm British but have spent the past two years in California, essentially uprooted I guess (although going home in two weeks). I think it's definitely some placement of planets in the 9th house. I have my North node in the 9th house (in Gemini) and I think this explains my need to get away from my place of birth to experience a change of setting, attitude and get a fresh perspective. I also spent a lot of time in Egypt (was once married to an Egyptian there) and would also like to spend some time in the Far East if possible in the future. I think I've got the travel bug out of my system now and desperately want to put down roots. Sometimes people need to break loose a bit to find out what they REALLY want. IP: Logged |

But you can still experience new things and have familiarity at the same time. I love to travel and meet new people, but i have no desire to up and move. Im accustomed to my surroundings, the climate, the local people, and i know where everything is. If i get bored i can try a new restaurant or something or go on vacation to another place for a week or so. But ditching your life completely? Seems a little drastic to me. First of all, you dont know anybody when you move to a new place and chances are it will be hard to make new friends even if you try. Because chances are the people in your new location already have their social circles and routine established. As a general rule people are set in their ways. It just seems like it would make things awful difficult, alot more difficult than it has to be. IP: Logged |

Absolutely disagree. People are NOT set in their ways, often you find they are welcoming to a person who has had the guts to move to a new place - ALONE - with a positive outlook. I made new friends easily away from home (and I wouldn't even class myself as a social 'butterfly'), mostly because we had joint interests (ie music in my case). My sister did the same too when she was 29, just suddenly upped and moved to Australia (travelled a bit in Thailand first though), and ended up getting a job there which looked good on her CV. Showed she had spirit and drive. Travel can be an enriching experience if you approach it in a positive way. IP: Logged |

You may make "friends" but close friends? In most cases, probably not. From what I have seen most people keep the same tight social circles from atleast middle school onwards. Personally i have kept the same close friends since elementary school and its not been because i wanted it to be that way. I have met a multitude of people since then who i get along with at school and all the places i have worked, but i haven't really picked up any close friends along the way. I have met a lot of cool guys at work who i have shared tons of laughs with and get along great with but chances are at the end of the day they are going to hang out with their inner circle of close friends they have known forever and im going to do the same. Which is fine and dandy... But when you move to a completely new location you dont have that option.

IDk.. I guess it all depends on how you define friendship.. Personally i define friendship as having trust, looking out for one another, and actually hanging out on a regular basis. I remember when i moved to my current town in 6th grade everyone liked me and thought i was a funny guy but i didnt really develop any close friendships. I would walk down the hall and everyone would see me and say "sup (insert name)" . A few people would even remark "wow, you are becoming more and more popular". And i was thinking "hmmm so because people know my first name and speak to me in the hall or at lunch im popular?" I dont see that as friendship. Sure you can meet "cool" people but you dont meet true friends everyday, thats rare. IP: Logged |

I have lived in 4 countries in my life, and currently deciding whether to move to another. My sun and pluto sits in the 9th house. The things you said you like about the familiarity doesn't have an ounce of appeal for me. IP: Logged |

I think you're really narrowing your options when you think like that. How on earth are you going to grow as an individual and expand your mind if you don't embrace new friendships, from all over, and maybe lose a little of the suspicious attitude towards strangers?  IP: Logged |

merc/uranus ? Heh I have the conjunction I've lived in a few different countries n quite like (liked?) moving to different cities, suburbs n such... Sometimes I moved out of necessity, sometimes just on the "spur of moment". When I lived with my parents, they moved a lot too, so there's that...What appeals to me is exactly the idea of going to a new place where I'm a "nobody". I think this is also why I liked to jump from job to job. I guess I do all of that just simply because I don't "feel strongly" about those things. The lack of attachment makes it easy to "move on". I kinda need a reason to stay. IP: Logged |

Its not me being narrow minded, i am always open to meeting new friends. Its just i define friendship a little differently than most people. To me a friend is someone who would let you crash on their couch if you didnt have another place to go. Not the guy you eat lunch with at work and might ocassionaly go to the club or bar with on a friday night. You can find the second guy anywhere but not the true blue loyal friend you can trust.

Ha, same here. It can also be character-building. quote:

I didn't say you were being narrow minded, I said you were narrowing your options. Yes one would think you could trust your pals you've known for years, but people do change, friendships you thought were solid can fall by the wayside unexpectedly, that good buddy you thought you trusted implicitly could betray you. I'm still in touch with friends from my youth, and I'm sure I will be for the rest of my life it's come this far, but I've had just as meaningful friendships with people I've met later in life in a completely different location. Sometimes people just feel compelled to leave their comfort zone, perhaps through boredom, or they feel suffocated, or there are people or situations they just want to get away from. It's all about discovering who you really are, even if you do eventually return to what you're used to. IP: Logged |

I have none of what has been listed here already. I've known since I was a child I wanted to move away and I did the first time when I was 17. I've lived in numerous different cities in 5 different countries in three continents and I'm planning my next move right now, which will happen in the next 2/3 years. Or less if something comes up. But I don't particularly like to "travel". I like to set up my home in new places. Sure, I'll visit places for a couple days/long weekend. Then I want to get back home wherever that happens to be. As for friends, I don't really need friends to hang out with all the time. I certainly don't need to hang out with the same friends all the time. Never have. Even in school I had different friends from different cities/schools. If I had to hang out with the same people as I did in elementary school/high school/uni/whatever or the same people all the time, I'd kill myself. Why would I want that? Contrary to what you say, I DO have very close friend who would fly anywhere I am if I need them and they would not only let me crash on their couch, they would let me move in with them. They come from all different stages in my life. I have 4 Sag planets. Nothing in the 9th.

^this.
I'm very similar to you in the friends thing and the live abroad-not-travel thing.

I've done this as well. I packed up and moved to another city that I really didn't know well. I did have a secure place to stay but didn't have work there. The reason I did it? Mostly for more opportunities. If another opportunity came up where I had to move to another city for an advancement in my career I would happily move. I become bored of living in a small city after awhile. Besides, even if someone does move to a different state and it doesn't work out they could always move back again.For me, the move/living in another part of the country was a great experience.

Probably a Uranian type. Also, Sagittarian.
A lot of it has to do with lack of opportunity or just not meshing with the culture. Uranians can experience this. Sagittarius are curious and want to see new places, they live for the experience.
Some people move to find opportunity or a career. Some find love. Some go just to be with people they relate to better or someplace that has a specific thing they need, like Olympic training gym, mountains with snow, beaches with waves, or gorgeous weather.
It's kinda nice seeing new places.Besides, Aqua, what about professional truck driving? Did you scrap that idea?
You would be living a very Sagittarian lifestyle, always wandering about. Some truckers don't even live in a house and save rent. My mom's coworker's husband didn't like renting houses. He just lived in his truck. So you could save money. IP: Logged |

That seems like a great job for a Sag, that or living on a boat. You take your home with you as you. I'm attached to my physical home where my "stuff" is. But no necessarily the country/city/etc. Maybe I should think about getting an RV/Caravan thing!  ) IP: Logged |
