I was wondering, what aspects can you guys think of that would make someone have trouble expressing their feelings?Or how about an aspect that makes someone come off as really awkward or just not natural when talking? Like they are struggling to put together their feelings/ideas/thoughts? Also, which aspect would indicate someone who is nervous? Example: I am walking behind you, about 8 feet away. I sneak up to you and gave you a cute boo/tap on your shoulders and you literally jump up and react pretty dramatically to it. And later you tell me not to do that because that really scared the p00p out of you. IP: Logged |

Hard aspects between Moon & Mercury, of course.I have an exact sextile, so (like most women) I have no trouble expressing my emotions.......when I have them lol. And express them when I feel like I would personally benefit (e.g. venting). Otherwise, I keep up a front because I don't like giving anyone the satisfaction/feeling of power from knowing how I feel. I was watching a video blog and the guy said the more he exposes himself, the higher the viewership. So it's an exchange of power. I'm not giving my power away unless I'm getting something I value back from it in exchange. quote: Originally posted by Starry~*:

, If you are like 6' tall and a stranger to me, I would kick you in the 'nads.You would actually do this? Not sure what part of the world you're from, but over here there's this concept called "personal space" and BOUNDARIES.

The boo and tap was a way of greeting, it's not meant to offend or be super aggressive and loud. Just like a playful way of saying hey! or replace the boo with the world Hey! as I tap on your shoulder to call you and say hi to you. And no, I'm not a stranger, we know each other very well.

That makes sense O_o expressing (merc) emotions (moon) I've got my Mercury in Scorpio and my Moon in Gemini. I forgot what aspect that is, but they're barely touching. It hard for me to express how I feel, pretty frustrating. I have no problem expressing anything else since they're all trines and Sextiles except for my saturn. But I've got a couple hard aspects to my Moon. And a few planets conjunctung my Mercury. Writing my feelings are different though, I'm very good at that.If you are like 6' tall and a stranger to me, I would kick you in the 'nads. You would actually do this?

Hmm... I just looked at this person's natal chart...He has Moon Biquintile (?) Mercury at 0'51s. Also, Moon Opposition Pluto. Mercury detriment in Sag. Possibly conjunct ascendant and I suspect in the 12th house (since it does kind of describe his inability to really formulate thoughts and have it come out normally through communication.) Moon in Aries. Moon square mars IP: Logged |

I do and I don't. For me I can express pretty much anything with ease. My mercury is pretty strong. When it comes to feelings and emotions though it's a bit harder. I have a tendency to intellectualize everything and if I do that to emotions and feelings, I can talk about them and others will understand, but it will do nothing for me at all. I will still feel like I didn't convey it right. I have gotten a lot better with this though and have learned how to find that "sweet spot" that allows me to express the emotion I have. A major part of it is I have to accept that I will never be able to express the full depth of it until I have a full emotional bond to someone.------------------ It's All Elemental ----- My Chart if relevant IP: Logged |

No, it's pretty easy for me to express what I feel/think. Especially to people I trust. But I do find I tend to keep most of my thoughts to myself. Moon trine Merc & Venus.

Jerry, Myw ife is a 12th House Moon in Gemini. She has absolutely no problems with opening up. You would know when she's happy, when she's in love or when she's angry. Come to think of it, the whole town would know when she's angry. God would run away to hide. IP: Logged |

I'm improving but yes I have issues...with expressing myself sometimes...Cause sometimes I just don't know how to say what I feel/want on the spot with out sounding like a b!tch...so sometimes I just agree, and I usually regret that. Exsample... I was filling in for one of the lunch ladies a while ago. I shouldn't of complained to this lady that I need more sweaters. (meaning I've been too busy to shop) She chimes in "I could grab ya some at the salvation army!" FML! I did not no how to say no with out sounding stuck up. (this lady has a complecated life, shes old but still has two boys who are special and still in school, and an uneployed husband they all depend on her. I've seen this woman pull things out of the trash. The kids at the school have seen her too) You know she works hard and does everything she possibly can to get by. But all that was going through my head were. 'Hell no!, No you don't need to, I'm not poor like you, No you're old!, SH!T!, I can't think of anything to say!, No thanks, that sounds gross?...phuck it I'll just say sure' "umm...SURE!" Like all the things that came to mind to get my point across, sound insulting and hurtful. Hoping she wan't serious...but she was...she got me two sweaters...she even washed them for me first the white one has a stain that wont come off. And the pink one smells really bad. So yeah I'm going to donate them so they can go back where they came from. Moral of story, be careful who you complain to that you don't have time to shop to. Be sure to tell them it's because you don't have time to shop and don't say, "I really need some new clothes" in a frustrated tone...or you could have a close one like this chick! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsu32ncvDyM I think this may have to do with my Moon Scorpio house 6 Sqaure Mars Aquarius house 10 Oh and Moon oppose Mercury Taurus house 12... But I can sometimes get my point across in a mature way. I'm so proud when I am able to do this. And then of course there are other times where I just don't give a phuck, and tell it like it is. I use to have a hard time even doing that...but ya can't always ofend people, and ya can't always agree with them. Ya know! So it's good to aim for the medium way. IP: Logged |

my bf has moon exact degree opposite his mercury and his moon is in the 12H. he's also a sun/aqua venus, so it's nearly impossible to get any emotional expression via words or actions ever :-( he tries but it doesn't come often or naturally.IP: Logged |

oh yea to generalize what I just said I really only have issues with expressing anger and conflict...The whole being openly unpleasant thing. (once in a while I don't care though...someone has to really push my buttons. Other wise I just vent to people I trust. Like I'm one of those women that vent about women they don't like at work or something. hahaha) IP: Logged |

You know what? I'd rather a guy show me his feelings for me with actions than one that proclaims 'love' and all that lovey dovey stuff and have it mean nothing =(. Been there, done that. Trust me, having a guy find it hard to express genuine emotion verbally is perfectly alright. At least they're not proclaiming 'forevers' and talking marriage like it's the topic of the day. For me, I do find it hard to express deep emotions. Makes me feel real naked lol. I'm very affectionate, caring and I show it through actions more than words. Actions speak volumes anyway. I have moon conjunct venus and mercury. Moon square saturn, moon square neptune, moon square chiron lol and chiron square venus. Must be my virgo sun too. I did once open myself up completely, but I got my heart stomped on, so that was fun. IP: Logged |

Yeah, once bitten, twice shy. Reminds me of the Cat Stevens song "The First Cut is the Deepest." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBccr-aLu4I That's how it was for me too...with a Virgo sun guy btw I'm a Cappy. I express emotions according to how receptive my listener is. Some people are so receptive, it's like they magnetize the truth out of me, and as a Cap, I can't say I find this very enjoyable in retrospect. I'm always thinking, "Why did I SAY that? Why did I ADMIT that?" No big deal, though...I can't just hide my whole life. IP: Logged |

My ex has problems expressing his feelings; to the point where he starts pacing like a trapped animal when he’s put in that position. I could calm him down if I was right there beside him, but when I wasn’t in the room he would panic and lose all objectivity. I have never seen anything like it. He has a Taurus Moon intercepted in the 12th with a semi-square to his Gemini Mercury in the 1st. IP: Logged |

1. I have Gemini rising and apart from my childhood scars, I'm a nervous/anxious person by nature. I have a Taurus moon, so combine those two and I absolutely HATE being startled. I hate it. Nothing irritates me more. (I also have Moon opp. Pluto. Saw someone mention that above, never would've thought it aided in cases such as these.) 2. I'm an Aries, with Mercury and Venus in Aries. I doubt I have an accurate perception of the world because I'm soooo Arian minded. What's Arian minded? Well, it's only seeing things your way and disbelieving there's any other way possible. I'm trying very hard to expand my vision but it's difficult. Anyway, my point in mentioning that is all of those Aries placements makes it difficult to express my feelings. I feel embarrassed about them a lot of the time and when they finally come out it is in a big ungraceful ugly cry or dramatic, intense overreaction that I have to take back later when it finally dawns on me what I really needed to explain. I have -
Mercury ... -Sextile ASC -Square Neptune -Square Saturn -Sextile Mars -Conjunct Sun Moon... -Opp. Pluto -Trine Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

Your response sounds very much like "me". I'm a Taurus Moon but Moon opposes my Venus and squares my Mars (both rather widely but still it's the Moon so wider orbs are allowed for luminaries). I don't feel like I have a problem to express myself and at the same time I do. LOL I know this doesn't make sense. Like you, I have a strong Merc and strong intellect. It's not a problem with words for sure. I intellectualize a lot. My Sag Sun opp my moon likes the simplicity of openness but can't handle being overemotional. I agree that bonding with someone first makes it easier. I don't speak to everyone the same way for this reason. There is no plan behind it I just express myself depending on my audience and how close or not I feel to them.
