I for the life of me cannot quiet my mind not even while I sleep..I have thoughts in my sleep songs appear in my head while I am sleep..SO much mental chatter that I am fogetting what I should be doing at times..

Last week I got off the train and forgot where I parked my car, walked a block and half to find my car turns out I walked right past it..Could this be bc of my Merc in Aqua in the 1st house..I have to calm my mind down now..

Mama, you need to be creating something. Are you an artist? I believe you simply need an outlet for your creative energy.
--Also,do you swim?

Hi BLK I do swim and its funny you mention that bc I have been having a slight urge to swim, just hate getting my hair wet unless I am going to wash it or something..Also I like to write and often felt that I could write a book of some sort..I have been keeping a journal writing in it everyday for almost 4 years now..

I think it's hard for any Mutable sun to quiet that chatter.

Buddhists call it, "The Monkey Mind...."

With our high Aqua influence it is hard to get a handle on, but far from impossible!

Mama, have you tried Bikram Yoga? It's done in a hot room & it is very rigorous.
I had this insight: lap swimming will be extremely beneficial.
What you described is potential, creative energy needing turn kinetic and express itself. You can't merely "quiet" it, it is a gift, and will become destructive if it is not allowed to express in some way.
Did you see the first Star Trek film?---It's like that...

Your sun will let you center and stop the chatter for a bit.

I learned to do it years ago and it becomes easier and easier the more you practice.

When you stop the mind chatter, you are truely present in the now...in the moment...with God.

Research different kinds of meditation and find one that feels right to you.

I start by merely focusing on center, breathing and find the small gap between thoughts, gradually the gap will become more and more accessable and you will remain in it longer and longer.

I have Gemini Rising and Mercury in Taurus in the 11/12th. I suffer greatly from mental chatter and not at good times too. Sometimes to off set the mental chatter I'll go take a walk in nature and sit beside water. That usually helps.

Journaling is an awesome idea too

Hey Mama Mia!

What are your sun/moon/rising again?

The thing that helped me was learning to meditate...clearing my mind. It took a long time and a lot of practice.

From your posts, it also seems to me that you're very receptive to other people's energies. That's probably contributing as well!

I have this same problem. The culprit? Mars in the 3rd and a mercurial moon.

Ahhhh...that's right! You're a Pisces. I think that's part of the puzzle to the picking up on other's energies. We're quite the little sponges, aren't we!?

I have a Gem moon, so like Dulce said, I've also attributed that to my mental chatter.

When I started meditating, I tried focusing on "nothing" and it was really hard for me. A friend suggested that I pick a meaninless object to start. I remember picturing a lightbulb in my head! (Great idea...lol!)

Each time my mind would wander (on an average of every 5 seconds) I would bring it back to the bulb! After a while, I worked on clearing my mind and replacing it with mellow, slow, purposeful good thoughts.

I also was able to tone down the intensity of people's energies by recognizing they weren't mine and letting them go as they happened. Now I can tune in when I want instead of being overwhelmed.

These seem to have had a permanent effect except for the occasional transit.

Hope that's somewhat helpful!
