steelrose, the men around you are not every man, you are a very intelligent woman and probably do not meet very intelligent men very often. It sounds like you meet shy ones who need to be drawn out. Confidence is a virtue too, it shows a man is ready and open to you. I would recommend seeking a man with a higher education level than your own, so you can learn from him, and have many things to talk about. There are fewer woman on your level for these men and they are continuously looking, really willing to work at it.

these men may seem arrogant to you, or pushy or rude, but the job of the man is to show off to you, not hide himself. What may seem arrogant to you, may just be a front.

As for dreamy Asc's aspects, my Moon in Cancer is Sextile my Asc. But I have other strong Neptune aspects. As for living with someone else, I have a bit of contradiction like SecretGarden does. There's the Venus and Uranus influences in me, but then there's the conservative side. TRYING to be one or the other just for the sake of some kind of illusion of "clarification" does nothing to work this out. It's best to just go with the moment. Very little planning on my part seems to work better and better for me as time goes on.

I can relate to what you say about people thinking you are in a dream world, even if you are looking right at them paying perfect attention - and especially if they are very left-brained people. But like Einstein, dreamy does NOT equate to not being good at logic. Just that we might drink it in from a more intuitive place.

Gemstar -

We have some things in common and I know what you mean about the 2-way mirror. I'm not sure that I attract guys who are attached already because I RARELY look at a guys left hand to see if there is a wedding ring, and I won't get involved with him unless there's sparks - THEN I look at his left hand. Even then, getting to know them because lots of guys take their ring off, or don't like wearing rings at all. A guy has to be fancy free for me to even consider getting involved. Also, I too get easily overwhelmed by sad occurrences in the world, but I've attributed that to my Moon in Cancer and my Chiron in Pisces, which is in the 10th House, so it's almost a career with me.

I too just SHUT OFF when I get bored, almost like feeling claustrophobic, but not in a total panic. Over time I've learned to have more patience listening to people, or engaging in an activity with them I'm not into as much. Each time, I try to push myself a little more. This may be due my erratic Singleton Uranus in Leo, other Uranus/Aquarius/11th House aspects. Also since my Asc in Taurus is at 29.48 degrees, most of my 1st House is governed by Gemini. My Vesta is also in Gemini, which has to do with "Energy Investment". And actually, could also be my Venus in Virgo.

AstroJunkie-I also have Moon in Cancer as well as a Pisces Chiron....emotional thoughts and feelings are so much a part of us!

My father is old school...never show you feelings...hold everything in...I am the first girl in 4 generations to come along on that side and I often feel like the 'dud sperm'. My three younger brothers don't feel so invalidated because they are the 'preferred gender' so to speak in my family. So when my emotions overflow...or I choose to reveal them, I get major put-downs and am told that I need to eliminate my 'sensitivity' and emotions!! Not the most nurturing parents in the world....and not so easy for me at times to be this sensitive and emotional with Nep conj ASC.

I DO sense we have much in common astrologically. This is so cool. Well ... what House is your Moon & Chiron in? My Moon is in the 3rd, which may also add to the sense of wanting to "move on emotionally". This is the first time I even consider this, as thusfar I've thought of my Moon in the 3rd as being "communicative regarding feelings". Or wanting to sort of "figure them out".

Does anyone have their Moon in the 3rd? Are you easily claustrophobic where emotions are concerned?

We may also be able to find indications as to why this life path is yours - being in a family with preferential treatment towards those who do not express their emotions. Sometimes artistic endeavors can be a great channel.
