I have battled depression quite a bit in my life, and it takes a concerted effort on my part to not slip back into it. Are there any lessons to be learned from my chart? Are there any indicators in my chart that might provide some information or guide me in my effort to avert depression? Here are my natal chart positions, however my birth time it is not exact to the minute. I was able to obtain approximate time though, and am very sure that I am Cancer Rising. Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar enough with natal charts to track down the trouble areas. I do know what its like to have some depression though. All I can suggest is try not to dwell on all the negatives in your life because it make you slip further into depression. I'm not saying ignore it but study the areas you feel depressed and try to find a solution. Perhaps you could talk to someone you trust about your concerns? They may have some insight for you.

I'm not trying to pry here, but are you on birth control?I was a stable, steady, strong girl at the start of this year and everything before that. I started BC in July. Slowly got more emotional, depressed, dependent, and weak. Look at what medicines/ foods you eat. Please. I wish someone had warned me. I'm sorry I'm not enough of a pro astrologer to decode your chart, but if you ever need someone to talk to.... I'm here. IP: Logged |

Thank you very much for your reply. I will try my best not to dwell on the negatives. It does get hard sometimes. I will try calling a friend in the next little while. IP: Logged |

You have double Taurus Sun/Moon which makes you extra stubborn. So you need to learn to listen to people's advice and stop being so stubborn.You have Mars in Cancer. That's passive aggressive anger. You bottle things up inside you when you feel hurt and it snowballs. So you need to learn to speak up about problems or find a way to manage that angry energy. Your Moon/Mercury are also in 12H. I suppose it means you always feel misunderstood emotionally or when communicating.

--Please don't ignore the negative feelings, just try to understand why you have them and how you can improve things. I know its hard sometimes. Think of some positives things in your life.

I can't tell you much more, but i think that moon and mercury in 12 house has a lot to do....as well aspects of your sun to neptune and saturn. As coolinember said, if you want to talk to someone, i'm here, and i want to say that i understand you because i've been in depression like you, and at times i feel that comes back again, the negative feelings and sadness. You are not alone, have to focus on positive things i know this is hard but you will never be alone.IP: Logged |

Thank you, I appreciate your reply and question. I am not on birth control, and I agree it's very important to look at medication (not on any medication) and also to have a healthful diet. Thanks for your reply and for being there for me. IP: Logged |

I'm not very experienced in Astrology, but I think it's 12th House. With 12th House, you hide your emotions, and it's destructive. I have my Sun and Venus in 12th, and I'm prone to depressions combined with embarrassing panic attacks out of nowhere. My advice to you is to share your feelings with someone. I know it's difficult to share with your 12th House placements, but it will be so beneficial, as it's destructive tio keep all your worries and insecurities inside. I'm so grateful to my angel friend (Aries Sun/ Cancer Moon). She knows about my condition, and is always there to help me. I wish everyone to have a great friend like that. IP: Logged |

Your taurus moon conjuncts my taurus moon
I am also a gemini mercury, cancer rising.
I have dealt with depression before. When i was 19 i went through a horrible depression. Got therapy for it and it helped. The other day i was starting to sink into a very bad depression again. Then my monthly visitor came and i realized it was my hormones.
I think cancer risings are very sensitive and prone to depression. We are sensitive souls.

I have sun in the 12th house too. Sometimes i feel lonely. But sometimes i like to be alone. Explains the hermit tarot card that has been popping up lately.
Has a relationship recently ended? Are friends not around?

Neptune is the biggest cause for your depression. Plus take a look at your south node degree and placement. Lots to release in this lifetime. Also saturn placement not helping. Solution: look to Pluto in libra. You really have to be introspective and be fair to yourself in doing so which will bring you to calm waters (read the Sabian symbol) Not much mutable in your chart, very fixed , so as mentioned above please be receptive to others' ideas, suggestions, views. Scorpio nn wants you to learn how to trust, and this means trusting others' information as well as resources, love, energy. As far as cancer rising, this makes you very sensitive. Also moon mercury conjunction. My suggestion is that you evaluate where the depression is coming from. Are you picking up others' emotions without realizing this? Especially if you feel depressed in crowds or groups. Find a quiet place and ask yourself if this is your own depression or are you sensitive to others' feelings. Tell yourself not to let your feelings depress you because they may not be your own. If you can work with a professional who can help you evaluate your sensitivities that may help. Mass consciousness right now is of inadequacy being felt. (Dec 2013) many are picking this up and confusing this with their own feelings. There is much in your chart that points to success and shows that others perceive you well. You're very much concerned about your personality and how you fit into society. Find your positive gifts and build upon them- you have many gifts and being introspective means searching for the gifts as well as releasing what doesn't serve you- and double Taurus makes you an expert builder. Taurus is a determined worker as well so you should have no problem working on your strongly placed Gemini mercury mind to change your thoughts into positive thoughts about yourself. Gemini as a rule is not loyal to anything and this is excellent in your case because all you have to do is practice shifting your thoughts immediately into positive ones to get you out of depression.

I don't think I have anything to add astrologically to what has already been said but may I suggest that you look up the EFT technique? There is a lot of free information about how to do it on the web and it has helped a lot of people! It's also called "tapping"...Beloved ------------------
