Ditto. And it concerns me how easily shocked other people are. It's like I weigh everything differently.

I feel this is a very accurate statement, I have my Pisces sun conjunct Mars and mercury in the 8th house. I am your regular agony aunt!! I dont know how you feel but I find it can become tiresome at times. I have become so internalised and self reliant that I dont know how to ask for help even if i needed to. I feel that people are only really interested in me as long as I am listening to them. I have attempted to discuss something that was personal to me but am normally met with "oh you're strong, you'll be fine" End of conversation.

Nothing, but nothing shocks me. Sometimes it almost concerns me how unshockable I am.

On the back of that, I recently began training to become a Psychiatric Nurse, I'm on a break period at the moment and am debating whether to continue in that field of nursing or change braches to a more practical field (which in all honesty, i prefer)

With Mars supporting the Sun in Pisces, there is usually an innate “calling” to help others; often in the “behind the scenes” sense (unless both are found in the 1st or 10th house).
As I said earlier, Pisces energy is often non-judgmental and receptive. But as been earlier stated by another Lindaland Knowflake, it is not always the case(I get that).

I can imagine how exhausting it must be to absorb everyone else’s problems.

But I think a more pertinent question would be; do you gain some satisfaction from being able to be the “receptor” of other people’s stuff? And how do you rid yourself of so much negative energy? Meditation? Prayer?

That's a very good question AscTaurus! I have to be honest and say that music, dancing and intense physical excercise (weight training, running) is my release. Meditation has been recommended to me numerous times and I did try it once but gave up as I just couldn't relax! I'm willing to admit I probably didn't give it long enough.

However even with those methods the "negative energy" is certainly still a cross to bear. I often feel drained and almost "vacant" at times. I dont sleep well and I suffer many headaches, particularly migraine and tension. My sun/mars conjunction opposes saturn too so I guess you could say it's a double whammy! :S

Are you an 8th houser too?

Typing on this forum is almost cathartic haha

Yeah, I’m an eighth house Sun too.

I am able to keep secrets; I even forget about the alleged “secret” that I’ve been told by the very person who told me.

The reason I asked you all that stuff about “negative energy” and how you deal with it is because I’ve been unable to properly channel my sensitive energies productively.

Even if I take the houses out, I have tons of Scorpio placements and though astro.com makes me out to be Plutonic/Scorpio in character, I just don’t identify with Scorpio. As I don’t see too many Scorpion’s worrying about world peace, the planet, pollution, racism, prejudice, classism etc.

I have Neptune sitting on both my Sun and my Sun’s ruler by conjunct in Sag: Neptune has me living in my own world and being referred to as a “weirdo”, “loner” etc. I don’t think that I’d make a great confidant though; I’d simply daydream throughout the session if the person’s problems are “boring”.

I always wanted to be careful to not spread my feelings of negativity - although I can't help it anymore, it's too much, and I can't contain it at times. I always thought I should be able to handle things, though.

I've had more people approach me with problems, like one guy on another site, who liked a woman I get along with, and wanted to know how to get her to like him. I told him I couldn't tell him that, but I told him what would make me feel better, after pointing out that I'm protective of other people, and I hadn't been sure that his interest in her was sincere at first (turns out it was - he's head over heels, but she's wary). I feel odd being approached this way, but it's nice that someone trusts me enough to do so.
