Anyone else have this? What astro placements are responsible for this?

When transiting Neptune was in exact square to my ASC / SN, I was in a state of bliss, didn't think about anything and just enjoyed "being" (that was after reading Tolle's "The Power of Now").

As in:

- for when you have a big plan on your hands and you need a strategy: building a house, a big event or forming a strategy for a team (sport or work related for example).

- for when you're in a dangerous situation: stuck in your car after an accident and your primary/instinctual efforts can't help you, or when you're stuck in a hole

- for when you need to learn from complicated mistakes and need a plan to move forward: a bad relationship, a bad choice for a job or anything that can relate to bad choices

- for public apparitions (preparing a speech, buying anything that related to your public image - to the way you're perceived by the world) - planing a course of actions

- for when you loose a close person to whom your ego its attached - you have to understand that the EGO doesn't understand loss in Universal terms - because the EGO it's not in tune with the Universe (with GOD) - when that happens all it understands is: "I lost something that was Mine (something that "was completing ME")". That's why you won't feel so bad for the death of neighbor (even though it was living next to you for past 20 years) - but when someone to who you were connected dies (family member, relative, friend) - you feel like "you lost something that was attached to yourself (like a body part)" - while in reality all you lost was an attachment to your EGO - which is "Earth bound". That's something you don't take with you when you die - it's same with fear of death - your soul moves on - the EGO doesn't, it disintegrates in the black void when our brain shuts-down.

...and so on.

Anyway - if the voice of our EGO would rise only when needed, we'd be in tune with the flow of the Universe (with God) and live our lives - as we were meant to live them... with ups and downs, with pain and happiness - both balancing themselves in a evolutionary way. But, with the rise of technology and "all this freedom of choice - we have in our hands today" - many people get ill - getting stuck in any of above scenarios - "focusing their life energy on the EGO in a dysfunctional way". The voice of the EGO was meant to help us surpass any type of pain "offering us a TEMPORARY SUPPORT" - but now it gets stuck on a process of pain instead of a process of healing (originally, was meant to be POSITIVE - meant to dabble with "positive thoughts"), which gets the true self so confused... that his instinctual nature shifts from evolution to stagnation, from love to hate, from life to death - as the EGO stays in control. It's like being on a cruise ship and instead of enjoying the cruise, the ocean (life) - you spend most of your time in the control room with the eyes on the radar - fearing a potential danger - while relating to a cruise that went wrong. It's what it means to get separated from God from the Universe.

I get what you're saying, and I agree.
It's a really, really hard thing to do, though - to just stop the overthinking and focus on the positive, on the "present". Sigh.

Teasel,

I have been told that I'm overly analytical, but I'm dreamy, too - daydreamy. I guess when I was an artist, it was perfect for me, because I "switched off."
I need a fan, and usually the radio or tv running - or a hypnosis cd - in order to sleep. Walking off excess energy helps, too.

I have my ASC and South Node in Gemini, both at 3°! Conjunct your Moon.
I can only imagine how hard it is to relax for people with heavy Gemini / Uranus energy.. Mercury & Uranus rule the nerves, so. I sympathize!

Oh how cool!
And yes, you're right about Neptune.
It's at a looser orb now but will come back later when it turns retro.

Well, here's some advices, something that helped me - might work for you as well (in time you'll definitely see/feel the difference):

- Stay away from "Sweet Peas In The Rain" - or at least keep it to topics that revolve around positivity/love - not negativity/hate/pain.

- Stay away from people who promote negativity, people who constantly complain about something - focusing their energy on what makes their life miserable. Stay away from people who talk about emotional pain in a dysfunctional/delusional way - promoting it as a path to healing... it's what they know (there are people in this world - who endure constant abuse for same reason), they practiced pain for so long - that they take it as part of who they are (a ill EGO). This people don't want to let go of their pain - since they don't know how to live without it - how to stay on a positive path long enough to feel its benefits on the long term. They actually believe that practicing pain most of the time helps them get better - and that's because they found a way to live with it (a comfort zone) by turning in to emotional vampires... And here's how it works on forum (like "Sweet Peas In The Rain" - the perfect place, taking in consideration what it stands for): this type of emotional vampires revolve around topics that can cause emotional triggers - so, it opens such topics - then waits for victims to bite the bait... either looking for empathy from others - or showing empathy towards those who share their pain - both cases feeds him life energy drawn from a negative state of being. If you're in a section of the forum related to emotions and you make a topic revolving around positive subjects (all positive subjects = love) - you give something that makes you feel better for giving and makes the other feel better for receiving (might even feel like returning the favor) - while negative topics - drains others and feeds those who chose to live a life of pain. If you stick around this people long enough - you'll become one yourself.

This is not about people who feel like sharing something that pains them "when life really puts them down", that's normal and can be helpful even if the subject in question has a negative side to it - which can be draining. I see nothing wrong with giving some of our life energy to help someone "that wants to be helped" and later shows a evolution in that direction. Such people truly/sincerely need it - and deserved to be helped (they're not emotional vampires - it can happen to everyone "once in awhile"). It's about those who made a habit in spreading negativity (constantly complaining) - or constantly dabbling with emotional pain - as detailed above... those are clearly - emotional vampires. I'm not giving any names - they're easy to spot by description. I wanted to open a topic about this on SP at one point (couldn't find the energy), as - it could help others who visit that section to know with whom they're dealing with and keep away from their draining vibes.

One of the reasons why I keep my distance - why I keep away from those types of topics lately. The other reason, I'm trying to build a stronger foundation of love/positivity and "Sweet Peas In The Rain" proved to be a very ill side of this forum - taking in consideration above details. I know it can be hard to get on a positive path - when you've been practicing pain for more than awhile - I've been there myself (even hit rock bottom... ) - but you have to start from somewhere and you have to be determined to keep going up - by keep focusing on positivity till negativity doesn't feel that powerful. And that has a lot to do with love (positivity is love - it's not just about the romantic type of love) and letting go of ill ego driven habits as much as possible. And if you're surrounded by people that keep dragging you down - that's not helping. I like to be there for a friend at need - but an emotional vampire is not really a friend...

BTW, a good friend of mine - had some issues with alcohol in the past and joined a AA meeting, that helped him A LOT - with getting on a positive path... it's not about the alcohol - i know you drink, but not saying you need a AA group to give up drinking - what I'm saying is: You could use it for its group therapy - where "hi, I'm an alcoholic" is just an introduction - those groups focus on the other issues (the reason why people started drinking) with an evolutionary purpose. That's the part that was helpful for my friend beyond his alcohol addiction - so if you have any such groups where you live - you could give it a try and see how it goes.

What worked for me...well - it starts with loving yourself, but - before i could do that, i needed another source of love - something with which i could relate in terms of love, even more things - the more the better... people, places, activities, objects. When you have more positivity (love) in yourself than negativity - you can advance on a path to positivity - which is like a path to God, it's like - realizing that God (a part of him) was always inside of you... it's what you might have seen in others (even though - they couldn't see it). What i did wrong... when i started searching for God, was looking for him on the exterior... that happened when i became aware that God is everywhere - but our connection with him lies withing ourselves. Sorry if I'm confusing... maybe i sound to religious, but that's one way to put it. ^^

Example: I'm doing the dishes and think "Oh I should throw some clothes in the wash"

Little Voice: No, go grab that from the room first and come back.

What is the purpose of an animal cracker?
The subtle buttery taste of this simple biscuit is made for the mature palate.
Yet it's shape is dedicate to our inner most child.
Animal crackers remind me of the childhood that never was...
The open road where I longed to be....

Mercury (ASC/MC-NN) cnj Neptune (DSC) cnj Jupiter (IC-SN) ~ Mercury-Jupiter dominant.

^ Capricorn 01, Sagittarius 29, Sagittarius 28 - house IV

So long as I give myself some time to refocus and meditate - some QT for me and my inner voice<3 - It doesn't become a burden. (If it gets to feeling like a burden, chances are something else is eating at ya' and that's what needs to be addressed, you know... treat the illness not the symptoms.)

For me, the inner voice is the same as my inner child, I'd rather hear it than half of everything else going on around me anytime anyway! lol It keeps me young and happy!

If it is too quiet in my head I start hearing other people's voices in there... >.>; they're screaming too, but not everyone is blessed enough to hear how attention deprived their psyche's really are. One of life's little challenges - to listen and feel and respond without getting caught up on somber trivialities of a mundane existence. (I agree with the suggestion that Mercury and Neptune could be somewhat responsible for this phenomenon, perhaps more so when in the angular steads or in aspect to 'em, or their rulers?)

If you can hear your inner voice even after years of conditioning from every external source to tune it out, you should count yourself lucky. Now... If you have one with a sense of humour - count yourself doubly so!
