Does anyone else have this problem? I never thought about it in terms of what natal aspects could induce over sensitivity in regards to noise, lights, electricity.
I get really overstimulated, quite easily. With TV, Radio, smells, overly sensitive to electronic currents. To the point sometimes i want to take a baseball bat to the TV ( literally) or bash my head against the wall ( not literally!). I dealt with sleep paralysis my whole life, and it is usually proceeded by this over stimulation of my senses, and I am so drained I have to lay down for a few minutes... afterwards I feel recharged.
Thought about this after the post about being Nocturnal and my joy at the silence.
Anyone else here have this acute sensitivity?

or is this a stupid question?   . I just now saw the post about Anxiety and worry. Wonder if Mercury is the culprit in some cases, in how we receive the environment around us, how it effects us physically?IP: Logged |

Yes, ever since I was a child.
Also can sense if some electric machines are switched on behind the wall of a house (it was my guessing game on walks with my parents, I would point to a house where the TV was running, though I wasn´t able to see or hear it from outside, and my Dad would hurry a bit forwards to have a short peek through the window, and I was always right. lol)For me personally I hold Neptune ont he ASC responsible for that.
You have Neptune quinkuxn ASC, right? IP: Logged |

o.o seeing patterns~ Ceridwen is right, and the 2nd house action,that RS mentioned too~ these things with senses --- Venus-Neptune so Taurus (like our Moons) ^^ and 2nd house Virgo/Mars-Venus, and on top of that you have Libra planet action there too... the exalted Moon, Mars/Venus connection, could stir up a lot of different energies, and with those houses 2/10/4h --- you are a definitely going to have some restlessness to deal with, I'd think... and Moon opposes Saturn... this causes an inward battles... very draining, (I have this as well). <3 Anyway~ ^^
Picking up on physical sensations (Venus) and perceiving nonphysical ones = Venus and Neptune ~^^~ or so I believe. <3 I find a lot of meditation, especially when I've had too much or too little mental activity in one day helps me detach from my senses, and emotions some...but, if I've had a particularly mentally stressful day... it's best to purge on paper, or do a very physical exercise.... this helps me, most of the time.... but, the irritation with different things in my environment is just too overwhelming sometimes. >.<; lesson in progress, guess you'd say! <3 Either way, I feel the solution is somehow related to balancing out the activity you've done in the day... physical - mental, or mental - physical, finding a spiritual median(I guess that's a good way to look at it)~ that's my own goal. ^^; GL!!!
off topicy~ XD
lol Taurus influence..... oh, how the heightened sense of smell >.< can be so good, or soooo sooo very bad to have at times...

I have been extremely interested in this topic myself, ebou. Thanks for providing your chart... I'm gonna check certain asteroids, too. I'm so glad you're bringing it up!In today's sky pattern, Uranus is featured in two Quintiles....
Uranus Quintile The Sun,
Uranus is Quintile Saturn.
Venus is approaching square with Uranus tonight. Rick Levine on stariq's audio planetpulse [satJan12,2013] described these as a 'creative weaving-together of things that don't normally mesh.' (Love that guy's ability to describe the physics of aspects with such palpability!) (Okay... weird begets weird today? Oh, I'm Lovin' it!!) I've got Uranus-Cancer-8th Quintile Venus-Taurus-5th in my chart. My Libra (which Venus also rules) is top of chart MC. Neptune-rx in Libra. (It's my soul's purpose to romance and indulge in the 'weird' corners of life... ) Placidus, Venus also rules my 6th cusp, also Taurus... [5th and 6th Taurus] (My computer-time this week may be a bit more limited, unfortunately? ... But I am very interested in responding to this topic, and also seeing how others respond.) I will also be checking the Anxiety and Worry thread. (Ha! Love the synchronicity... we are each and ALL being "originals"...  )
Wish there was a kind of respository where we could instantly access natal charts of LL members (who want to participate). I would offer my own chart there. I am on a 'shared' computer and don't want to gunk-up my roommate's harddrive. I have an 'instinct' for computers, but fall down in some of the new modern 'technical' innovations. Nervous to try something that would frig-up his system. I respect being able to use the equipment!!
Back to my point... When people bring up topics it's nice to look at the chart and see how it is that 'that' be true for them, astrologically. I think having links to the charts would increase astrology knowledge and research here... (Oh yeah, I looooove research so much!!!! My curiousity is sooo piqued!) Ceridwen, I've definitely resonated to some of the metaphysical experiences you've mentioned in your posts. I have not read all of them (of course), but things you describe are very interesting to me. You describe being able to "sense if some electric machines are switched on behind the wall of a house." I'm not as acutely sensitive as you, but I relate to 'feeling' transformers that are charging-up and are on the brink of triggering the airconditioner, heater, etc to go on. 'Creepy skin' feel .... ever so subtle cringing experience for me. Remains just under conscious attention... but on another level very aware of it. I can hear WI-FI... When the energy-companies send 'scan' waves through, I hear a physical/yet-not-physical sound. Been trying to "get used to it"... but when the compressors are all on "together" --(refrigerater, AC-condensing unit(s)-including neighbors') -- it can be acutely painful to my body. I get an assortment of migraines--- including 'abdominal' migraines. All these noises TRIGGER my symptoms? With abdominal ones, my diaghram stiffens-- LUNGS have a harder time to function & breathing is diminished! I have an idea that many people are complaining about having asthma and inflammation of trachea and bronchi. I SUSPECT that perhaps MANY people are SUBCONSCIOUSLY "hearing" the wifi's and electronic 'noise'--- that their BODIES are "stiffening" in response to overwheming the sensory nervous system (autonomic). This is a WORLD-WIDE problem. WHY the scientists and doctors have not INVESTIGATED this "link" is probably their strong GREED for money. The electronic BOOM is unregulated. They "think" that because THEY can't hear it, then no one else can hear it... and if they say they do? they're just branded as crazy, hysterical, or 'somatic' responders.... This is NOT RIGHT!! It's an ACTUAL physical phenomenon affecting world HEALTH! (sorry... been trying to contact senators in my country USA for the past two years and I think I'm being ignored. how sad!! all about money, money, money, money... not the quality of health, wellbeingness, and LIFE!) (oh yeah... on my soapbox again) Example: Dogs can hear a dog-whistle. Humans don't. A human can blow the hell out of a dog-whistle and make the dog suffer needlessly. Some humans would even "punish" that dog for howling so bad. "Why" are the "sensitive" people being treated soooo badly? Punish us for something we can't help? Oh, you've got me going today!

ADDING this note... The last post I'd read was RedScorp at 11:47am. When I posted "at 1:32pm" the posts of SaturnineMoth and VenusDiSirius hadn't been posted yet.SaturnineMoth, I saw your post on Moonfish, 443 Photographica. I'd written an exceeding-long (two-page) post based on what you had described as your experience of Photographica. Fortunatly/unfortunatly my "post" did not "take"... I copied and pasted it onto a yahoodraftdoc. I may get up the courage to try to post it again. Maybe better luck with 'internet' today... since above-post "took" okay.  IP: Logged |

coolbeanz mirage <3 I look forward to reading it whenever feel up to reposting! Been having some really cruddy luck with posting lately too, I don't think it's just you! haha I watched as a half hour slipped by before a post stuck in Sweet Peas, only to see it bounce around with PixieJane's after that, and hers vanished entirely then reappeared, then disappeared... it was going all haywire. XD no idea what's up there! oh as a sidenote! XD I'm so happy to learn I'm not the only one here who keeps their posts tucked away in safety~ lol seriously, I think, "why am I doing this.... x.x I'll never correct anything, if I go back it is just going to be so I can delete the entire thing anyway!" but, I always type out my posts on notepad or openoffice/word somewhere! (I blame it on my Mercury-Saturn semisqr, and Moon-Saturn opposition... soooo, much self doubt/insecurity with communication! haha) >.< it's silly, but comforting ---- we have this common habit, no?! good day to you as well~ <3 IP: Logged |

I tend to go into stimulus overload pretty easily, and I'm kinda high strung and it doesn't really take much to get me at a fever pitch of worry either, that kind of thing. It's really not that hard at all to overwhelm me. For me personally I think the blame is multiple chart factors all working together at once. Mercury is angular; Neptune aspects both luminaries and makes a hard aspect to Mercury; Moon conjunct Pluto, and Uranus angular as well. You have Mercury conjunct (or at least very close to) one of your angles as well - the IC. I'd bet money I don't have, that that's causing it along with the fact that you have Neptune aspecting your sun AND Mercury. You even have that Plutonian energy thing too, with the planet aspecting your Mercury. IP: Logged |

Ahhh...so much to think about after a 10 hour work day on my feet Thank you all <3 ...all I can think about right now is how the power cut for a few seconds months ago and I could feel the pure silence down through my soul..it is AMAZING how loud electrical currents can be, and you don't realize it until the power goes! I always get high frequency sounds in my ears too. Ugh! IP: Logged |

Visual stimulation especially bothers me, and I usually prefer silence to music when I'm driving, unlike most people I know. I'm an 8H Pisces moon. I think Pisces in the 8H gives you extra sensitivity, ebou. IP: Logged |

I have something like the milder version of misophonia...which is extreme sensitivity to noises that normally wouldn't bother people. Like loud chewing and swallowing. It just makes my skin crawl and it annoys me! I have always been very 'sensory' issued. Like with problems where I'm hypersensitive to lights in classrooms that easily give me a headache too. I think it's because my Mercury squares my Mars. My Mars opposes my Uranus and Neptune. My Sun quindeciles my Neptune and Uranus [the almost opposition]. Neptune trines my Chiron, Moon and MC... Hyper sensitive!!!! IP: Logged |

There is a joke in my family about the " Kmart Monster". . Whenever me or my dad went to a store ( well, he is passed now ,rest his soul) the lights would mess with us to the point we would have to run to the bathroom sometimes. Make me dizzy and turn my tummy anxious. lol!

In addition to what everyone else has already pointed out, Chiron in gemini could also be part of the problem.The more traditional interpretation is that Chiron would give problems in more straight-forward communication, like speaking or writing, but in your case, it's electronic communications that's giving you a rough time.

For some reason I have an acute sense of smell, I can smell things other people cant sometimes lol. My sensitivity to certain odors are definitely there. Like if I am at a restaurant and theres a person sitting a few feet away, and they have on strong cologne/perfume, it will drive me up the wall. And I cant even count how many times Ive been on the train and had some person with BO next to me and almost throwing up because it was unbearable for me:/IP: Logged |

I can relate. I get overstimulated easily with people, feel like I'm hearing their thoughts, feeling their emotions (unfortunately mostly negative ones.) Oh and especially with the sleep paralysis. I'm looking for any similarities with your chart now.  IP: Logged |
