Well? I'd be interested in hearing different ideas based on zodiac positions. IP: Logged |

reliable job with a fitting salary, bills paid in time without hassle/sweat....wide open spaces, no fences, lots of woodland. time to devote to appreciating family, all the little blessings we miss around us in the brouhaha of chaotic life. yup... that's the simple life to me. Cap Sun in the 5th (Saturn in Scorpio 3h) Venus ruling 2nd house Libra and 9th house Taurus (Moon). 4th house Sagittarius (IC/SN) dominant in Sag-Jup-Mercury~ need the freedom, and to have all debts settled, and time for family/self. that's simple, no??? >.<; *NeptuuuuUUUne! get outta my stellium* lol something like this anyway~ *nod* (edit* ugh~ tMercury opp nSaturn... writing issues lol) IP: Logged |

I think I would make quite a good hermit, the kind that lives in a cosy cottage somewhere deep in a forest and never goes out, but sometimes people pop in to visit and bring food and other little luxuries, in exchange for pearls of wisdom. My home would be my sanctuary (a rather comfortable one), and in my long stretches of solitude I might write books. Even though I was a hermit, I think I might need internet, NOT for social networking, but just for information. My modus operandi on a daily basis would follow certain rules - never rush (ever); discover simple pleasures throughout the day like smelling flowers and feeling velvet ; practice being present in the moment; do nothing every now and then; love everyone you see; enjoy mundane tasks; and write and read to my heart's content.Sun Gemini, Moon Scorpio, Asc : Taurus.

I know many Scorpio Moons that would choose the "hermit" lifestyle. Private people

A one-celled organism! (Oops, that's my Mercury in Aquarius-5th house)I'd like to live "the cat's life": eat, sleep, play. Come to think of it, since I'm a teacher, that's what my summers are like! I KNEW there was a reason I took this job!!! IP: Logged |

A life where your evenings and weekends are free and you can just take it easy and do what you want; a life that isn't a constant high-stress rat-race, and your hours are consistent so you can get into a pattern or routine. A job where you make enough money that you never have to worry about the basics, and then have some money left over for savings, and money for fun stuff too. Middle class, basically.That's what my entire goal is - I just want my life to be as simple as possible and have all the stuff I need and be able to buy some of the stuff I want, and just enjoy my job and my life - which is why I'm going back to college with the intent to become a librarian. They make enough money that I'd be more that satisfied with the pay, and my evenings and weekends would be mine, and I like libraries so going to work would be fun for me and it's a low-stress job. If you s.crew up, no one dies or gets hurt lmao. I have a stellium in Libra and my NN and Mars are in the sixth (public service), so it kinda meets all those needs anyway. Venus in Virgo, so it wouldn't take a whole lot to make me happy so I don't need to make 50 million a year. IP: Logged |

A simple life to me is not living a life of glamour, not fast paced, not having a hectic job, not being pulled away from friends n family all the time, kinda remaining under the radar, u know? Just having minimum responsibilities. A job I LIKE is the most important thing Because i'm here not for close relationships with people, but to do something that makes an impact and to wrk with ideas. I want a job that makes a difference. So that's first. Prob my sun opposite neptune (idealism) and north node in aqua Second is having a few close friends i can count on. Third is having an apartment that's decorated just the way i want because i guess as a libra rising, my surroundings are super important to me, i need beauty. But it would be a cheap apartment. I dont want money weighing me down at all. It would also not be the largest apartment, but id make the most use out of the space. All i need is a place where i can invite friends over sometimes and entertain. Fourth is doing things in nature with friends---going to outdoor music festivals, going to the beach, going canoeing, having campfires, swimming at the lake in front of my friends house, or going to small bars with open mics where people share thier talent with people who're free thinkers and trying to make a difference. And preferably who like jazz like me Thats prob my uranus aspects and my north node in aqua..... Sun in Cancer, Moon in leo, Libra rising
------------------ True to my aqua north node, I'll always pick the choice nobody expected me to pick. ebay compatibility readings | testimonials | Past readings | Ideal compatibility (3rd post) | Q&A | What's a Love stellium? | Most important aspects descriptions | Aspects to avoid IP: Logged |

A simple life would be for me being in a single job till you retire. Getting married to someone who has the same kind of job so that both can grow old doing the same things over and over.You know, routine stuff with nothing exciting happening at all. IP: Logged |

Did that hurt? I thought you said you didn't care about me or my opinions? Rule number 1 of the internet. Don't share your life stories and intimate details with strangers and then abuse them with your bad attitude.

To me, having a simple life means having all the necessities and being content with what I have. Not wanting more than I need. I’m living my version of a simple and happy life. I have a job that I like. It pays well enough, after taking care of the bills and the necessities, I still have some money left and I’m putting it aside to prepare for the rainy days. It doesn’t take up all of my time, so I have time to spend with loved ones and friends, to study/try new things and to do what I’m interested in. My husband and I live in a small, cozy place. We have a garden and plenty of white daises. Ah, I love white daisies. Cap Sun/Venus/Neptune/Uranus in the 12th. Aries moon in the 3rd. Cap ascendant.
