Life its an emotional roller coaster for about one week out of the month for me. That day were life makes absolutely no sense to me and feels meaningless that is the day before I get my period or The Day I get my period every time, often that is how I can tell I am about to get it bc of the dark mood I get in.

I have venus and mars in the 8th and my Venus quincunx my Moon which rules my 8th and is also part of a tsquare so I am thinking that is why my monthly cycle is challenging for me and affects my mood greatly. The 8th rules the reproductive organs and the moon is our monthly cycle.

So I am wondering are there are females out there who are not affected by the hormonal changes of their monthly period and who don't feel that their period DISRUPTS their life and mood for a few days at least??

In my head I think we all suffer from this misery but if I am wrong I would love to hear who you are and your placements. What is your 8th house ruler and what aspects does it make??

I don't really get PMS in a traditional sense.

For a couple of days before I get my period - and sometimes very early into my period - I'm more emotional than usual.
But, it's pretty funny because my way of being emotional is kind of like a hippy on drugs... I feel like hugging everyone and telling them I love them

Rarely, I've gone the other way - and ended up being angrier than usual... but that's happened maybe like twice per year or something... It's not common for me.

It's interesting but - my experience of sadness and depression has literally no correlation with my period.
I could feel 'low' for varied reasons, when something negative happens... but it's not in any way related to my period.

I have terribly disruptive, emotional PMS every month. Like it honestly does disrupt my life.

My moon is in the 3rd house. It's afflicted.

I don't really experience PMS. There was a short period of time when I had backache during my monthly. But that didn't last long.

I only sometimes get cranky because I dislike having periods, even though it doesn't disrupt my life. Having to remember to take precautions like bringing extra pads/tampons, not wearing white pants...etc... is just plain annoying. Sometimes I'm like "Why am I plagued with this?"

Interesting, so your 8th house ruler is not afflicted and you don't get PMS but just a little annoyed or cranky which could be do to the mood affliction I suppose, lucky .

I say this because I NEVER had PMS symptoms at all...until I was 26 and had my first miscarriage. I also never had period cramps until then. Ever since then, I have experienced pretty bad cramps on the 2nd day of my cycle..argh! And my moody PMS symptoms are getting worse this year. I see (and everyone else does, too..) a big difference in my attitude a week before I start.

So...I don't think my chart can show all of that. The change and everything. When I had that first miscarriage, I had a D&C/D&E done..I don't know if it was the procedure or the hormonal changes but something caused a big change in me after that.

I wish I didn't get PMS, but I guess I'm just not that fortunate. I have an ovarian problem that makes it worse sometimes, if you can imagine PMS and periods being any worse than they already are.

Men really annoy me around that time of the month. Especially if they're overly abrasive - my 4th house Moon and Mars are just too freaking sensitive for that. That's about the only thing that can make me snap and get irritable.

I get overly emotional in a quiet way. I miss people I haven't seen or spoken to in a long time. I just want to be around my mom and other female relatives. I get needier than usual and want to cuddle - even if it's just to cuddle with my cat or dog.

So..before my miscarriage, the only thing anyone ever said to me about my PMS was my little sister. She made a mention of me acting really goofy/quirky the week before my period. I was a teenager when she told me this. I had agreed that I acted weird but it was always amusing, never painful or negative.

8 house ruler Mercury..in 2nd house conj Uranus, Neptune, and Sun. Square Mars.

Moon conj Saturn. My periods are ALWAYS regular, predictable, the same length and flow, etc. It is square Jupiter, though...hey, maybe that is behind me having multiple miscarriages???!

I dont see much happening with my progressions and transits.

So I`d say I do feel *some* effects (or imagine them) but nothing as to really feel disruptive.

Not the astro answer you're looking for, sorry, but I think some women here would like to read that.

posted November 21, 2015 01:22 PM            

In ancient times and in societies which were recently colonized, women would be given as much time and solitude and support as possible during their moon time/menses. There were special areas designated for women who were bleeding. Intrusions into these sacred spaces were strictly forbidden.

I find I get especially touchy a day or so before bleeding if I am not getting the space I require. The teachings in my tradition are that women are extremely powerful during this time. I think if there is no outlet for the energy coursing through us and anything beyond our specific focus on the inner workings of our magical beings/bodies is being demanded of us, mood swings and anger are perfectly natural.

They are our body's way of defending us against unwanted intrusions.

But... so that I'm not too rude, my placements, Libra 8H cusp, Venus trine Saturn, square Moon, sextile Chiron.

Hormones are very real, the fact that we bleed out of our Vaginas is very real, the fact that our bodies get ready every single freaking month to conceive and getting our periods is the result of not conceiving is very real and not socially constructed. Hormones play a huge role in our emotions and well being and some women are more sensitive to hormonal changes than others so PMS is not socially constructed and they use to call it hysteria back in the day.

Ofcourse your body under going a complete transformation every month for a lot of women would lead to nasty symptoms. Yes exercise, diet and taking supplements can help control the symptoms up to a certain point but saying that is a myth and that is socially constructed is insulting specially for women that have it even worse than me in that department. You probably don't get real terrible PMS to start with so exercising, diet and taking supplements helps you a lot to the point that you don't experience any symptoms at all but for SOME people even if they did everything in that article it would only ALLEVIATE the symptoms not get rid of them and their period would still be disruptive even if they take medication.

I have Jupiter conjunct Vertex in the 8th in Gemini. Mars at 1 Aries in the 5th. And a lot of planets in Scorpio I'm my 1st--this would relate to my body and reproductive organs.

i want to do a little more digging to see which signs and planets regulate hormones though. I know Scorpio and the 8th are related to reproductive organs, I would think Taurus and the 2nd too... but the hormone regulation might have other rulerships?
