anyways, i checked my transits, and it appears that:
• the moon is conjunct my natal venus - 3°
• uranus is square my natal moon by sign (it's not in orb yet, but it's approaching)
and
• neptune is conjunct my natal venus - 6°
• pluto is conjunct my natal moon - 6°

anyways, i hate feeling like this. i know it'll pass just like everything else, but i wanted to ask those with more experience with transits: do you think that moon/ntl. venus & uranus/ntl. moon are influential? i mean, not taking into account my personal predisposition to moodiness (i'm not excessively moody, but i am prone to mild to moderate mood swings from time to time), what kind of transits usually indicate one is more likely to be in a crummy mood? i would imagine a hard aspect to one's natal moon is one indicator, but what about other indicators?

any insight is appreciated.

*Hugs* I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Sounds like it may be an emotional block, a stagnent emotion stuck in your body. It could be that simple. Drink lots of water, avoid dairy for 3 days, cut down thereafter. Cheese is fine, the lower the sodium the better.

i checked saturn, and wow, it's indeed exactly quincunx my moon at this time. i'm guessing that's a party pooper!

and thanks, g. i do like cheese, but i only eat it about once a day (currently i'm into eating boca burgers with a slice of cheese and tomato and ketchup for dinner). the dairy is (almost) not a problem; i've recently discovered soy milk and i LOVE it. however, i do love sour cream. but only when i make veggie tacos. i'll just stay away from those for a while. and good suggestions, thank you. i think i'm going to go home after work today and change into comfortable clothes and then i'm going to go for a walk.

Right now I am I nearing my "time" I ALWAYS coincide with the full moon..if ya get me.

Sometimes people actually go through that feeling mid cycle when the egg is released- some are very sensitive to that. I seem to know when I am ovulating and it is like the egg knowing it won't be fertlized (even if it is that is not wanted) feels sad.

Okay, does that sound really odd or do I just have a weird relationship with my body?

as someone who's sensitive, im easily influenced by people and their moods. its kinda true what they say; pisceans reflect other people's moods quite easily. anyways, what i like to do if im clear-headed enough is 1) try to surround myself with positive people, or get in some quality contact with at least one positive (not icky positive like kathie lee) person (my favorite's my g-friend from college, the virgo sun/leo moon/sag ac - i adore her) and 2) rationalize/analyze and make lists of things to be happy about or things to do.

the analyzation thing is what i was trying to do here by looking at my transits to maybe understand certain astrological influences i might be going through. you know, like a, "Ah, ok, that makes sense." then its easier to feel like i have a handle on things.

thanks, pidua! now that the day's nearing end im feeling marginally not-so-atrocious. i think before i go home and get dressed to take a nice walk by myself im going to go get my eyebrows waxed (dont laugh - it actually makes me feel better, prettier).

i think g has a point about stagnant emotions. even if im just having a bad day today or approaching ovulation (does your body ovulate when youre on the pill? i feel like i should know this but i dont) or i have 2 icky saturn-moon transits - even if it could be explained by just one or a combination of these things, stagnant emotions (or ones not dealt with or properly expressed) are a salient issue for me. its quite likely i need to learn some techniques on how better to express my emotions (that damn water singleton sun - im so uncomfortable with it sometimes). or perhaps i just need practice.

So my pain usually mirrors everyone elses. Pisces people always feel what I do, and it's very intense. ARe you around any water signs, or water moons lately?

It's not the moon, and it's not PMS, and it's not pregnancy, or a false alarm, and it's not family, then check your friends. Scorpio Ascendants? I have one of those. I cried a little today and I must have made three other people cry too.

I just have a face that crumples, and then I made a Pisces cry too.

I am super aware of the ability of water to make people moody it's not my imagination.

Good luck to you, don't worry, you are loved.

That is what my best friend right now always says. It works.

Also a star athlete mind trick:
Keep your chin up all the time,
when you drop your head to your chest, or look down, your negative thoughts become real. Keep that head up.

And be in the now, focus on what you are doing today, no present, no future.

im mad at that damn pisces in me sometimes, for being so easily swayed by other people or situations. i dont want to be a drag to others because i get weepy when i hear the lady who works in the front office had to have her dog put to sleep, you know? i feel the people closest to me are the most affected. i want to be stronger; for some reason there is a small part of me that thinks im weak for being so impressionable (maybe my capricorn mars, who knows), even if i know i shouldnt think myself weak just because im highly sensitive. its not a fault. its just a character trait.

my virgo/gemini friend in germany has a scorpio ascendant. of course, hes not here so i havent had exposure to him. i do have a (now former) co-worker who has a scorpio ascendant. she quit on monday, suddenly. i didnt think of it, but thats probably a source of anxiety. this being a school, i dont know if theyll replace her. they have to approve the job to post first.

thank you again.
