.. were really hard on yourself ? Or witnessed someone who did this ?

What was it like and which placements do you blame it for / which placements helped you get through this ?

When you forced yourself to achieve something that really challenged you. Or even made you question everything you ever knew about life.. That you didn't even have the option to fail.

I need to hear some inspiring stories right now..

Today.

I don't know about aspects. I have a few harsh Saturn aspects, including a square to the ruler of my chart. Aries are supposed to be so sure that they're always right, but that just isn't true for me.

So do I... I've been feeling like there isn't any point in doing much of anything, that I don't *need* to do. This isn't my usual M.O. but I can't completely shake it.

Which placements help me to get through it? Maybe my Sun in Aries? That T-Square between Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto? It can be a bug-a-boo, but it has its persevering qualities, as well.

I am always hard on myself. It's very tiring I wish I could stop.

When others are hard on me it is like throwing acid on an already open wound.

I've noticed that If I do something off/or wrong I get called on it quickly. People that screw up all the time get away with murder because people expect that type of behavior or work. Since I have a perfectionistic quality and my work is of very high quality, one little flaw really stands out. Imagine listening to a highly trained violinist and one note is hit incorrectly, you are jarred and remember that one wrong note. It would be great if not for that one note. If a lesser skilled violinist hits many wrong notes, you recognize the performance as "acceptable," but do not focus and later comment on the one big flaw. I think this is how many people approach me. Everyone tries to remove the one spot on the carpet because it stands out.
