What aspects or placements do you feel explain your attraction to gaming.

For me is probably venus conjunct mars in leo with moon in pisces!

Favorites: Mario, Zelda, Ori.

I used to be an avid gamer to the point of addiction, even girls didn't matter when I was gaming.

For me I think it was Mars Square Jupiter.


I used to get addicted to DoTA 2 and Football Manager series.

Addiction to escaping is a neptune meets pluto or pisces meets scorpio thing.

For me getting lost in gaming would be venus in leo in the 8th trine neptune but my saturn conjunct pluto gives me discipline with things that can be addictive I feel so I create structure and rules around it.

Pluto is desire and can make you over focus on something, it can lead to obsession. Neptune likes to escape and get lost in a dream world so together it can manifest as addiction potentially.

Me. I play everything from phone games like bubble mania, Zuma and brave dwarfs were my favourites in 2005/2006, along with American mcgee’s Alice, and Undying.

I have games downloaded to my computer that I haven’t yet played, like Little Nightmares. I play fortnite, if I need something to focus on when I wake up depressed. I’m pretty good.

Don’t Starve, and Don’t Starve Together, my sister got me into in 2016.

I used to love Zelda, and if Ori is the cute one, set in a forest, that’s one I want to play.

My favourite LTM in fortnite, is The Floor is Lava.

I don’t know what aspects to mention. I used to play brave dwarfs if I needed to shut things out for the weekend. I would get through all of the levels, and feel better. I like that some can be solitary, or a group thing. I bought a microphone last October, so that I could talk to people.

Oh, I have Jupiter in the 5th. Maybe that helps. Mars in Pisces, I love the escape. Moon/Venus in Gemini: it helps with focus, and problem-solving.

Ha love it!

Any favorites you want to share?

ADDED: I like your observation about the 12H and feeling comfortable been a hermit and staying at home playing video games, I can relate with that with my chart ruler falling in the 12H and IC ruler falling in the 8th, it explains why I am in a mountain at 9,500 altitude.

I have neighbors but definitely privacy as there is some space between us, not too far and not too close, just right but then again as a child with Moon in pisces in the 3RD house I lived in a townhome 3 floors and the second floor were the kitchen was had a door that had a hallway that connected to the kitchen door of our neighbors who I considered my brothers growing up, I just realized my neighbors were an extension of me, I saw them as a part of me and my family, very fitting of MOON in Pisces in the 3H square Neptune conjunct my AC, our kitchen doors were always open to one another but yet that wasn't taken advantaged of, it was nice.

Mercury Taurus house 12
Jupiter Cancer house 2
Pluto Scorpio rx house 6
Neptune stationary rx in Capricorn house 8

I'm old school. I love Nintendo and Super Nintendo. I am very stubborn and resistant to trying """newer""" games like Nintendo 64.
I did a little bit of Sega on Play dates back in the day.
I had a game cube. But it wasn't the same.

Growing up I was big on Donkey Kong Country and all the Mario games.
My favorite fighting game is Killer Instinct.

Gaming is one of those things past elementary school that I would go years not touching and then get back into it again.
I did not get into the Zelda games until I was in my mid 20's....only for Nintendo and Super Nintendo.

Fiance got me the Nintendo classic for my 26th birthday. <3 His best friend still has a Nintendo system that kind of still works. He got me into Bubble Bobble.

Stawr I can relate a lot to what you are saying, I was a Nintendo Mario girl and would not want to play other things LOL, you may like Paper Mario but the first one that came out that you can play with the Wii U and then I got super into Zelda much later, I loooooooooooove Breath of the Wild, but now this year got into Ori. Ori reminds my of Zelda but is its own thing. I am trying to open up beyond Mario Bros and I am glad.

I wanted to be a sportsman and played **** load of sports related games to a point where playing them in real life did not appeal to me as much, I remember this one instance when I got called by my friends to play outside but I didn't go out coz I could play it in my PC lol.

I think it could be my moon in 5th (esp dancing games) house along with Sun/Neptune to escape to another world.

I love it when it is also online, interacting with others (Venus in 11th trine Uranus). I made some online friends via gaming.

I even tested app games for a bit too.


But gaming isn't a priority anymore, I prefer astrology now haha
Getting lost into something, is what I crave and some human interaction.

Being an Aries does comes with some excitement when playing against others.

Awesome!! High five! Paper Mario yes that looks cool!

I love Link to the Past. I beat it but I had to Youtube how to get past certain obstacles. (How would I know to shoot an arrow at a statue to move past the level? lol)

i think it's probably just common to like video games for most people to some degree, especially within certain age groups, doubt it's much that's chart specific

out of **** mentioned here i have aquarius 5th, in placidus pisces jupiter is aspecting

i have venus-uranus sextile, but those are both aspected by other **** too, and some of the same other **** (mercury, moon)

i like survival horror games generally stuff like the fatal frame series, soma, deadly premonition(it's heavily inspired by twin peaks), eternal darkness etc and other assorted **** i can't think of right now because i'm high

i like first person shooters a lot too, shooters in general i played a lot of halo on social slayer, gears of war horde mode, and left 4 dead on xbox live for a while

i enjoy sniping, i like getting headshots

i like bullet hell too liked ikaruga a lot, but i mostly play them on my phone at this point so i haven't played it in forever i play the squadron games frequently when i feel like doing something mindless

i can enjoy puzzle games like catherine, ico, limbo, thomas was alone, and portal, and indie **** like papa y yo and **** that's barely a game like the static speaks my name (i love it for sort of being a todd solondz movie)

i really like shadow of the colossus too, and in retrospect the heavy occult symbolism i didn't notice in it the first time i played it years ago is interesting

i can enjoy fighting games if a lot of people are playing, prefer 2d **** like blazblue, guilty gear, and darkstalkers but i'll play whatever all 3d fighters have a similar move pattern so it's just about finding the right character and in a lot of those games the characters have stayed the similar enough over the years to play as them and pick them back up easily

so just having a popular main in those is good enough to play with other people for years even if you don't play all of them or play infrequently

ive just known a lot of people who will put fighters on while smoking and **** i suppose 🤔

i haven't played a mario game since mario 64, i guess i played wario ware for the wii but that's different

i only really like the first one and only really the speedrun route otherwise i don't want to play it that long

i don't think i've ever finished a zelda game, got mostly through a link to the past, ocarina of time, majora's mask, and the first one but 🤷‍♀️

never played ori, looks good aesthetically at least (havent looked at gameplay ever) but i probably never will because there's a lot of **** ive never finished and i play them infrequently now and when i do it's generally a bullet hell game

i find mindlessly dodging bullets in a tiny plane while endlessly shooting **** soothing, the second you think in those games you **** up and you usually don't get many hits if any that you can take without the game being over

and i like that, not thinking

i only finished the 7th final fantasy, got very far in the others and didn't like 7th the most so not sure why that was the one i finished (4,6, and 9 were all better series became unplayable post 10 but i did like the updated battle system in 13)

i played the remake somewhat recently, and while the updated battle system was better than the original turn based **** (though im ok with turn based **** like legend of dragoon and earthbound and the original ff games) i lost interest as soon as it became quest based in the slums

i can't stand quest based rpgs and even **** like an added fps element like destiny doesn't help that, fable 2 is the one exception to that

i didn't care for the first or 3rd fable

I think that me being an Aries rising with my Mars (Chart Ruler) in my Leo 5th house is what makes me competitive and obssesed with video games. I like winning, being the best, and looking good while I do it.

I really like games where my progress can be seen by others, with leaderboards and other ingame items that show my rank.

Me having Venus in Gemini is probably also why I like, in particular, computer games.

Venus is also sextile my Mars really, in my opinion, linking these energies.

I have other aspects that could also show my love for computer games, like my Mercury conjunct Mars, but I feel these are the more obvious ones.

I game a little, and yeah it's fun, but for me it's a substitute.

Because I actually like outdoor fun and activities and other games.


Some years ago my health started to get worse, then I got diagnosed with lupus, arthritis, and other autoimmune issues.

So I had to say goodbye to:

dancing
martial arts
skateboarding
surfing
baseball
tennis
snowboarding
soccer

But because of my bone fragility I can't do those things now, or risk an injury. Sometimes it simply hurts to use the vacuum because of pain issues.

If my health was top notch I probably would rarely touch video games. But in that way gaming can be good because it gives us an outlet even if we can't physically do much anymore. But I do get bored of non-physical games. Like I crave physical stimulation.

I've got my sun, mars and merc in the 5th house.


It's terrible though. I'm a naturally outdoorsy, playful, hyper active person who's being forced to live a very mild, gentle lifestyle due to health issues, so I've had to adjust my dreams and aspirations. That's life I guess. It could be worse.
