Just came across this article by Lada Duncheva ❤️'Lack of balance emotionally leads to all kinds of addictive behaviours (from substances to people) and are a reason for serious physical illnesses.Every person has a different area of life which they are highly sensitive towards and a different set of methods which will settle them emotionally... This is clearly indicated by the position of the Moon in your horoscope and the house cusp which falls in Cancer(the sign the Moon rules). Both Cancer and the Moon show the most vulnerable and sensitive part of our make up, the one, which is like a naked nerve, most susceptible to the blows of the environment. The area of life which makes our stomach go in a tight knot, if something be not as we want, and which if repeatedly triggered in a negative way, will lead to psychosomatic health problems or self soothing in the form of addictions.' Find out more about your placements, here: http://www.astrolada.com/how-to-balance-your-feelings-and-overcome-addictio ns-astrology-indications My moon is in my 4th house and I agree, arguments in my family home have always unsettled me. I don't like coming to home to tension, HOME to me is safety from the outside world and its dramas. My 8th house is also ruled by Cancer. Until this year, I didn't realise how much I had suppressed until I was forced to locate the source of some of my insecurities!

My 7th house is cancer and I find the description incredibly truemy life does revolve around other people and my relationship with them. I tend to become very obsessed with people. I had a very toxic 'friend' before who had a lot of personal problems and I really felt that she completely projected them all onto me. It was horrible and took me a long time to get over. My moon is in the 12th house and I also find the description very true to me. After spending a lot of time being surrounded by others I need a lot of time to recover by myself. Thanks for sharing this article! IP: Logged |

I almost don't even relate to the house cusp - almost. It seems at odds with my moon placement. However, the moon placement was amazingly accurate!! Probably one of the best that I've read for planet in house. Edit: oh. It also tied in strongly to the rest of my chart. Particularly my 12th stellium and nodal axis. I love when things tie together!

Excellent article! Thanks for posting, ikja.It's nice to see someone validating some of my emotional issues. I have an 8H moon: quote: This position is especially sensitive to hidden undercurrents and darker feelings. They are like psychic lasers who cut through false pretense, insincerity and secrets and feel something is wrong. But if as children, what they felt was not validated or they were made to think they were mistaken or wrong to speak about these deeper, darker issues, they started burying their feelings and became secretive, even paranoid from others.
I wasn't noticeably paranoid as a child but definitely had trust issues. It was like, everything I saw, people would say, "You're not seeing that. It isn't happening." quote: Later on they are extremely sensitive to someone lying to them or abusing their trust which can make then sick with emotional torment.
Right. Again, this was more of an issue when I was a child, I was extremely sensitive back then, and it made me sick to know what I knew about people. And since I already had to deal with people telling me I wasn't seeing what I was actually seeing...any extra lying was just adding insult to injury. Cancer on the 12H cusp: quote: They need to spend longer periods isolated or in private, so they are can shake off the many psychic impressions and make sense of their deep often unconscious feelings. --- The best way to settle their feelings is through private and more spiritual activities like meditation, contemplation, prayer, nature, reading, sleeping, taking a week off and going somewhere far from everyone.

Sorry no. This is the excuse addicts use to validate themselves and not have to deal with their addictions. They will always blame their addictions on something else. Parents were never supportive, you didnt answer the phone, bad relationships, hard day etc etc.It is one thing to turn to something else to deal with pain. It is another to become addicted to it and then use pain as a crutch to make excuses for being addicted. If youve been around these kinds of people for some time you would know what I mean. The difference between for example drinking due to a bad day, and drinking all the time and blaming their ****** life/past/situation for the addiction. And always in those situations the addict becomes ultra sensitive to certain things so that they can go back to the addiction. Or rather they just lose the ability to cope with things that never used to bother them deeply or they kind of let it bother them so they can run back to the addiction. For example.. I had a very emotionally stable, easy going happy friend that became an addict and one day she completely broke down became we were late to an event we spontaneously decided to go to on a boring day.... Im not being heartless. My heart really goes out to these people. But having been around them and also having been around ex addicts and also getting over addictive behaviors myself.. I feel like I have a better grasp on how their minds work... IP: Logged |
