Is it possible for a human to be so empathic that he/she and others have difficulties distinguishing that human´s true personality? The true self. He/she would be in a constant flux of others emotions and lives that the boundaries have completely vanished. What would aspects and/or planets in houses be? IP: Logged |

I have been told I am very empathatic. I have a Leo friend especially who from the moment we met, I could feel everything.we talk in codes from day one. I identify with my leo moon more than any of my other aspects and I never realized how many Leo female friends I have. HOWEVER, I can turn it off or on if I like the person. I can feel/sense other's people anxiety, stress happiness. I have spontaneously cried when people told me they were pregnant. It kinda creeps out the men I date when I can tell them how they feel without them articulating it. I don't do this for anyone as much as I do it for my daughters. My oldest is an Aquarius and she is very tight lipped about her pain. She says I always know what to say. She says I feel her thinking. At 12, I hope this bond never goes away but she is the only one I feel I can't turn it off. I apologize to her sometimes because I can feel her and I try to ask her questions so that she can build a vocabulary for her feelings. But her personality is so different from mine.------------------ Pisces Sun, Leo Moon, Libra Rising. IP: Logged |

I have Neptune squaring my libra asc, this actually causes more problems than good, I'm constantly absorbing my environment (Neptune in 3rd) and anxiety is too much. Any slight imbalance or critism hurts me because I want my life to be balanced. IP: Logged |

Of course it's possible - they're called Empaths, and you should look into them. I am an empath in a very real way, but part of the struggle of being an empath is learning to isolate your own emotions from others. It's referred to as cutting the cord and not absorbing the emotions around you as strongly as your otherwise would. I connect my empathic abilties with my pisces venus/ascendant in 1st, and my pluto in scorpio in 8th and maaaybe my virgo moon. I feel emotions so deeply that I usually have to disassociate with them in some way so as to not cause myself emotional and physical pain. My pisces aspects feels other's pain so deeply that it starts to hurt me, my scorpio pluto wants to dig deep down to the heart of the emotion, and my virgo moon wants to actively help them.

My neptune is sextile my asc. I think the world needs more understanding about empaths, lately everyone I come across thinks they're an empath but if you actually are one then you know when you meet another of your kind and when somebody just wants to be an empath. heheIP: Logged |

very true, and meeting another empath can be very overwhelming since it seems like whatever emotions you have become amplified together since you are both just feeling eachother it feels like an infinity mirror. so many awkward empath moments.. IP: Logged |

I completely agree. theunknown: why? That doesn't make sense to me, I would think smooth aspect to neptune would cause someone to be an empath, not hard aspects. Especially neptune to moon contacts.

Moon conjunct Jupiter is an aspect of true empaths. There is a difference between being an empath and being empathetic.IP: Logged |

I'm not sure what people mean when you guys bring up being an "empath" vs "being empathic" ? Not sure if you are mixing sympathy vs empathy or acting/behaving empathically towards others with actually feeling empathic (which doesn't require expression). I figured the topic brought up by charlie is the latter. IP: Logged |

if you google what is an empath it might become clear. There are many different kinds of empaths just to be clear.IP: Logged |

I have Neptune opposite my ascendant. I've also been told I'm hypersensitive/empath. I find it hard to blame people properly. I'll be angry, but I can always find a logical reason why someone did something to hurt me. And I always feel other people's feelings- I'm very good at putting myself in other people's shoes. Neptune isn't so prominent in my chart really, but the Moon is. And my Moon squares Neptune. Hope this helped. I feel like I go on about myself too much, but I'm just trying to y'know, help, outline, etc :P IP: Logged |

I just read PlutoSaviour's comment, I don't have that, maybe I'm empathetic rather than an Empath. I don't know. But feelings and stuff. IP: Logged |

Yep. I have Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus all aspecting Neptune. My Moon trine Neptune is the only soft aspect and the others are squares. I'm an empath but not THE empath, if that makes sense. I think my chart is set up quite balanced so I'm able to differentiate between what's mine and others. I have this weird quirk of knowing why others met me, or how I'm supposed to help them in a different way than just being a controlling person or inspiring to others.IP: Logged |
