I totally understand having problems with fears. I have a lot of problems with anxiety, more specifically social anxiety. A lot of it is due to the heavy influence of virgo in my chart as well as my aquarius rising. I also have some aspects negative aspect to my ascendant and moon that magnify it. I think identifying where your strengths are in your chart can help you to balance things out and deal with the fear better. At least that is what i am trying to do. I have a lot of inherent power in my chart that i repress and run away from so i am trying to use that to overcome my fears. Hope that helps you.

suzyque ~
I know what you mean about the social-anxiety-thing. For a Libra, it seems almost the antithesis, but we are people-lovers who hate crowds. To complicate matters I have Mars in Virgo, which I think is a pathetic waste of energy, since I always wind up sweating the details. The Virgo energy also lends more discrimination (especially against Self) than I would like. But as the years have gone by, and I feel more comfy in my own skin, I have come to terms with most of my fears. Now crowds don't bother me. My biggest fear now is for something to happen to me, leaving my son alone with no father and no close family to take care of him.

You started it: what are your fears/phobias? We spilled, it's your turn!
PS: So proud you spelled "phobias" right!

I'm with you thosa, my friends think it's funny. Hey, if I do nothing more, at least I can bring some humor to the lives around me..... I guess...? and how is it that, in my complete avoidance of the public restr-eeeewwww-m, I now have, not 1 but, 2 kids who are ' bathroom ' tourists....? Ah well, at least I have successfully driven home my fear of crickets... it's kinda silly, I know but, true. My Son is my knight every time one is discovered in the house! hehehe poor kid

Hi Thosa, I was interested to read your phobia of dirty toilets - my 6 year old son has a phobia about sitting on the toilet - wd you be kind enough to explain anything in your chart that would relate to this, I would be interested to gain some understanding of this from an astro point of view, thanks x

I can’t stand insects - I’m even scared of butterflies none of my friends know I’ll lose my detached ice-cool image if they do.
Last summer we were out in the park - it was a really hot day…I noticed this freaky alien like bug on my shoulder!!
I swear I stopped breathing
While walking very slowly I brushed the nasty little thing off with my purse.
Wow!!! To me that’s brave!!

Nope, no natal retrograde planets here I wonder if it is simply my super strong Moon sitting in Taurus that makes me fear moving forward...the change thing...
