How do they effect your life and what coping methods do you have?

Venus sits right on 11h/12h as well and everything you can read about Venus in the twelfth house is me.

I have a horrible Moon opposition Pluto, and Sun and Mercury square Saturn and Neptune. I HATE those last two aspects more than anything in my chart. I feel stupid and crazy a lot of the time, I have intense emotions and don't know how to really communicate where they came from. I don't see myself clearly, and if I don't see myself clearly then how can I see other people? My opinions are easily influenced, try as I might and stubborn as I am. I'm a slow learner. Blah blah blah.

This is an aspect of circumstance
outside events effect me personally
My actions don't necessarily set this aspect in motion
but none the less they are triggered.

Sorry, just glad I had an outlet for all that crappy stuff.

(((Hugs))) I have my Sun opposite Saturn which I know has a very similar affect to the square. It's a double whammy as my Mars is conjunct the Sun (in the 8th house) and both are opposite Saturn. That's alot of repressed energy! I very much understand what you mean about intense emotions, for me I always find it hard to get the balance between being too forceful and not forceful enough.

I feel those aspects most, it's like a constant inner tension which just doesnt let up. Alot of anxiety, nail biting etc etc. I do alot of excercise and listen to music to try and channel the energy but I have to say it doesnt always work. I also have Sun square Neptune, it's funny because apart from the typical teenage partying/binge drinking, which is pretty much a rite of passage in the UK I really am not big on alcohol or any other type of narcotic. That's not me being "holier then thou" it's just a feeling I always had that if I were to dabble in drugs or whatever (as many of my friends did) the effects on me could be devastating.

The Power of Now is on my "to read" list I tried to read it once when I was younger but just couldn't get into it...I think it may be time to try again

Actually astrology has really helped me see my problems in life. I used to drink myself to oblivion in my mid teens, then I saw my natal chart for the first time and read about how I have an almost exact opposition between Moon and Neptune and what it means. It helped me realize that could be a real danger for me since it involves houses 2 and 8. It has helped me be aware of really super destructive patterns and I can see trines and sextiles as a way to deal with the stressful aspects. It's like finding suggestions on how to cope. Read up on the positive aspects in the chart, work on those qualities in your life, and try to avoid what you read about the negative aspects. Like with the opposition between Moon and Neptune, I have to be cautious on a lot of different levels about a lot of things but at least I realize it.

I also have a square between Saturn and Venus and it's not as easy to work with as the one between the moon and old Nep. That's the toughest one I have, Saturn square Venus because I am very aloof and it's ingrained in my personality since Venus rules my ascendant. Just find ways to work with what you have. Part of dealing with the square is accepting what cannot be changed.

Hey, we both have 2nd and 8th house oppositions, just different planets involved

"Read up on the positive aspects in the chart, work on those qualities in your life, and try to avoid what you read about the negative aspects."

Sound advice, and to be honest I am going to make a concerted effort to do so. I am always naturally drawn to the darker/negative descriptions which is a bad habit, particularly when I completely ignore the positive. I do have quite a few trines and sextiles, particularly my moon which is fairly well aspected. I work in the caring field and my moon (which is conjunct the MC) supports and enhances that particular career direction.

Venus square Neptune: I'm delusional when I fall for somebody. I create a fairytale image of them & disregard all the ****** qualities that I should NOT put up with. Seems like I always settle for less, ugh!

Asc - Leo (wants to be center of attention, showy)

Moon - Sag (restless, needs constant excitement)

Merc - Leo (stubbornness, know it all, avoids the details, wants to take action)

Venus - Scorpio (intense, all or nothing, falls deeply in love, scares people away)

Mars - Libra (indecisive, passive aggressive, needs fairness)

OH MY GAWD!! I am a walking contradiction. How do I cope? I own that sh!t. I am not offended to be called "crazy" or "intense"... whatever. Don't like me? Move along. I quit trying to be balanced long ago.

Instead, I embrace my quirks. Some days I am indecisive and I procrastinate because I am too busy over-analyzing every evil little detail. Other days, I jump quickly into "let's get sh!t done" mode.

Some days I act a little intense. My love comes home from work and hugs me and I might cry because I missed him. Other days, I am aloof and in my own world.

Occasionally, I still freak out over stupid stuff because of that Venus in Scorpio placement. For example, if my love is quiet, I assume he is hiding something... it's ridiculous. Other days, my Virgo logic kicks in and I analyze all of the data and can see I am overreacting and jumping to silly conclusions.

My personality is very bipolar. I just deal with it and try not to worry about appearing unbalanced to more stable people.

I have some pretty nasty aspects to my mars. I really don't consider them flaws though, because the rest of my chart is such that really I NEED the few "bad" aspects I do have otherwise I'd be a perpetual victim.

The Jupiter square Pluto aspect has had me questioning established religions ever since I read the entire Bible for myself. I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with dogma, big churches with stained glass, or religious teachers who claim to know the only way to salvation, etc. ad nauseam.

This is not a bad thing. In my rejection of dogma, I'm realizing that the universal basics taught in religions, love for everyone, kindness, compassion, is way more important than endless debate about who created everything.

Saturn conjunct venus and mercury is frustrating, even more so in my house of fun. I am not good at quick communication. It seems I always leave something out, or I don't completely understand the subject matter, or I come across the wrong way. The only way I can get past this, is to take my time speaking, and be as knowledgable as possible. Saturn is a hard task master. It seems I have to put in a lot of effort to get my point across, but the reward is that I'm usually the best prepared person in the room.
