I'd say this is true of the 3 Pisces mooners whom I know very well, but they all have found ways to deal with it.

One, my cousin gets somewhere alone and gets lost in his music. Everyone knows not to bother him when he does that, and when I was a kid I was even able to guess what was eating at him just hearing it. This is how he flushes himself and regains his equilibrium. He told me as an adult that he can enter alternate states when he plays and recalls past lives which was very surprising to me, and interesting enough when he met my Pisces moon BFF they both somehow remembered each other from a past life! It was delightfully surreal.

And there's my BFF who uses various meditations and also Qigong to "regain her center" and separate herself from all that she's absorbed into herself. When we get together I like to take a few minutes to recall all our good times together in the hopes that I'll help pick her up.

Another used some intensive occult practices to shut himself down psychically but all he could do was mute his psychic abilities--which were considerable (and probably due to a near death experience and also concussion), and also left me pitying him as they were a burden, even if his psychic abilities probably saved my life (though it was painful to him). He's a hermit who lives a rural life now with mostly animal (and plant!) companions as the pain of the world is too much and he can only take the world in small doses, and he was also involved in some criminal things when he was younger, both good and bad, and had his scars from it (he scared me bad the first time I saw him, I thought he was a muscular biker type with wild long hair and eyes that went right through me, and he told me later he'd gone to the lonely beach I was hiding on that day to get some relief from the pain of the world but I was a beacon of pain that he couldn't ignore). He literally found being beaten by evil cops using nightsticks less painful than the psychic pain he could feel around him that he had to either try to help stop or to get away from.

And to top it off he's a Libra sun so even when the energy isn't that bad it can still throw him out of balance which is also jarring. Most wouldn't recognize him as a Libra (at least not now, he described himself as once having been more stereotypically Libran as a child but was beaten for "being gay" by his family for it) and I'm reminded of him in both appearance and demeanor every time I see Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies.

Having the 12th house moon I totally get the need for isolation to recoup. Even with the similarities to pisces moon, I guess I'm still stronger and should expect to be his strength instead of thinking he can be mine.

We both have Pallas/Vesta opposed our moons in our natal charts so these are conjubct each other's moon, plus his Anubis/Pallas/Vesta are conjunct (on my moon)

Eirlys, I'm also curious about your chart.

And your age.

Because when I was younger I was much more capable of despising people, but as I've gotten older, my preference for not harboring any kind of hatred just gets stronger and stronger.

In that sense, I agree with Aries23 degrees, I can be impersonal. I don't forgive people or overlook their flaws because of who they are, but because of who I am.

That sounds great, Faith.

But betrayal is not a flaw.

* to give aid or information to an enemy of; commit treason against...

* to inform upon or deliver into the hands of an enemy in violation

of a trust or allegiance
___

It's a deliberate, malicious act, and it is personal by its very nature.

It's the ultimate offense.

Thankfully, the instances of it in my life have been few and far between.

Petty grievances are easy to forgive after time, when so much can be chalked

up to human frailty... esp in hindsight.

Harboring resentment over them will literally make you ill... not worth it.

Betrayal is different.

And when I *am* able to forgive that (something else that is wholly personal),

I think it's more an act of Providence, than something I can credit to myself,

alone.

And Leo rules the heart-- can't speak for others, but I don't take things like

this lightly.

To clarify the astrological relevance here, in case newbies are reading, it's a 12H/ Pisces thing, to be involved with prisons.

Something else I can add, at least for the Libra sun one it's not that he was motivated by compassion (though that was a factor), but the pain of others was so internalized that when others around him hurt, HE hurts, as if it were his own pain. He's therefore motivated to either deal with it (because he's the one feeling it as well) or get away from it ASAP.

I feel bad for him on the first time we met, because the trauma I endured was inflicted somewhat on him, and he "felt" me before he even saw me, and he'd gone to the beach to get away from the pain of others in town. And though he had compassion for me, his being aware of my pain was more like "OW!" to himself.

When he approached me I pulled a knife though I kept it hidden. I was resolved that when he got too close I was going to stab him with surprise and run. And he knew exactly where to stop, he told me later he felt the danger, and perhaps he could've stopped me (*) had I tried given that he was ready and I was in a weakened, injured state, but he didn't take it personally at all. He said he searched himself--because what I was feeling was inside him as he was picking it up and experiencing it for himself--to figure out how to calm me down because it was obvious I just was not going to trust him, and yet he needed his beach back, not that he was going to rat me out to the cops as he could've if he'd wanted (just by an anonymous reporting of an injured girl on the beach) and he called his aunt who was a pleasant older woman and together they calmed me down.

I think he was especially psychic because he was electrocuted when he was very small, had a vivid out of body experience and everything and he grew up seeing and talking to spirits (and his mom was open to the spirit world as well, also probably triggered by her injuries though I don't know anything of his mother's chart), and then when he had a concussion (car wreck) he started having visions that basically showed him people he'd meet soon and what would happen if he didn't intervene, and so he did and that was when he realized the pain he felt was mostly coming from the people around him rather than from within himself. The visions went away but he remained strongly psychic since then and he sought ways to bring it under control, but the best he could do was curb it, and even that took a lot of effort.

Not laughing at you polkadotstars just the funny play on words. Clever, fireopal!

I used to get so heartbroken over dead animals, too, when I was young. I remember being traumatized by seeing a dead bird fetus whose egg had fallen out of its nest..I stood there and sobbed and couldn't stop thinking of that for a long time. But that wore off. I de-sensitized that much, as most people do when they get older. (Though, now that I see how my children never act like I did, have never cried over little dead animals, I see how I was more sensitive back then than I realized. I thought everyone would be just as brokenhearted about a dead bird fetus. )

It sounds like you with your stellium may not have that option, polkadotstars, and in that case, I really feel for you.

I just got finished reading a book about Richard "Ice Man" Kuklinski and Pisces Moon sort of absorbed him. Thought: Start a thread about compartmentalization, antisocial disorder. nature vs nurture, and astrology. Aubyanne would be a great fit for that sort of thread.

Seriously, I've had to compartmentalize. It started when my mother could not bury a kitten that didn't survive. I was around 3-4 years old. I'll speed up to the most recent craptastic scenario. My cousin's husband hung himself in 2004. I was very close to both of them. I was the person to break the news to her after going to the hospital to confirm he was gone. Her sister was a coward and put me forth to break the horrendous news. I knew that, and I was willing to take it on.

I'm sort of annoyed that empathetic Moons are portrayed as weak.

I am very intuitive, pick up on cues others miss and feel things out easily. I am very compassionate and a sucker for a sad story, I am the girl that always ends up dating that misunderstood guy or unconventional guy or loner or rebel or black sheep in the family etc...the girl that dates the guy that inst well off and maybe a bit lost but has a lot of potential that may or may not actualize some day...

I am very compassionate and feel drained when I hear traumatic events but I have learned to let my sun in virgo protect me and keep me strong so I stay focused and do what I have to do and help how I can and then disconnect.

I am sensitive but also very strong.

My husband has moon in cancer perhaps later I will write a bit about that. What we have in common is that we are both sensitive, sweet and caring...we both are attached to aspects of the past and can be nostalgic.

Are you me? I can seriously relate to everything you said!

I would add that my greatest fault is giving too much of energy and getting burned badly. I tend to help people at times who are not deserving of my time and energy. I had someone blatantly use me and my other friend, only treat us like actual crap in the end. Sad to think both of our friendships meant nothing, but Pisces always wants to help and see the good in everyone.

That is a bad side of Pisces Moon, not learning to set boundaries, but you live and you learn.

Water moons for me fall into the "difficult to love" category. I want to but the differences are too great.

Cancer moon eventually is just too moody and I run away.
Pisces is sweet but seems too distant.
Scorpio (I know this thread isn't about them) often seems too secretive and I don't like it. If they open up then it's like you get all of it and I run. LOL

But I still love them all and will always try.

Disagree on the distant part based on my Moon aspects, if anything I am too open and yielding with others. I know some Gemini Moons for example that are way more distant and unreachable in nature than Pisces, so I'd say the aspects really impact the outcome here. I had a Gemini Moon friend who always appreciated my friendship and support and then all of sudden- poof- you are not good enough for my presence, I'll disappear on you and never come back. So I can see the distance thing, but in my case I have never been the distance one in friendships. Deeper than Pisces Moons in my opinion.

My dad is a Cancer moon. He is so wishy washy with his emotions and can be very hyper sensitive. One time my dad spent a few hours cooking dinner and my mom said it was too late for her to eat because she would get heartburn if she ate too late. So he threw everything out in the trash (btw, this is totally something I would have done too lol). He is very sensitive though with his emotions, and just gets random mood swings. When he gets like this, I have to tell myself it's just his Cancer moon coming out lol.

I don't know if that helps at all

Lmao. My mother is the same way as your dad she's also Cancer moon.

I'm Cancer moon too, but I have learned to channel my mood swings in more positive ways now that mt career involves me being emotionally stable

When you want to be nice but really just cannot stomach total BS.

It's happened to me so many times, I just nod along and try to delay the inevitable moment when their fury for everything that drove them to lie in the first place gets turned on me...and I usually just sat there waiting for this, twiddling my thumbs, since I knew it would happen eventually.

Back to OP:

I have been thinking about it more and in my previous reply I discussed similarities between moon in pisces and moon in cancer, now I want to point out some differences..

They are both very romantic but moon in cancer romanticizes true intimacy, closeness, familiarity, routine, predictability, and security while moon in pisces romanticizes the unobtainable, that which is beyond your reach, an ideal, and the merging of soulmates during sex. Moon in cancer appreciates what it has and knows it does not want to lose it but moon in Pisces might have to come across the lesson "you don't know what you have until you lose it" a few times in their life bc the grass seems greener on the other side often in their eyes.

Moon in Cancer is sweet but intensity does not make them feel safe so they are better with boundaries and putting limits with how much they love bc they protect themselves from getting hurt while Moon in pisces has no limits and wears their heart on their sleeve, is more willing to risk it all perhaps bc they dont think they will get hurt naively or feel the risk is worth it.
