9th house- Scorpio cusp. Empty. Ruler Pluto is in the 8th.3rd cusp - Taurus. Sun, Mercury, Júpiter in Gemini. Ruler Venus is in the 5th. I think the 9th explains my love of investigating and digging information. It also made me hate school for all it's fakeness and arbitrary social constraints. I like to do my own thing and not to be herded with a lot of other kids...I had to endure but it was horrible to say the least. I was bullied...then I had to kick their as*es so I had lots of anger issues. About the third house. I love learning and discussing interesting themes with people. I hope to learn until I die. I love languages and human sciences the most.
Learning has to be relaxed and fun, if to strict I lose interest.
Know-it-all teachers throw me off... I like college mostly. Everything before that...not really IP: Logged |

I enjoyed subjects of interest at times, but disliked the experience as a whole...especially as I matured in age. 9th house stellium, Sag and Cap placements. Will edit later. IP: Logged |

Oh I'm jealous, when the moon is in Pisces I just feel like crying  Or listening to music. Maybe because it's in my 8H. What house(s) does Pisces occupy in your chart? I feel like I should know this by now... quote:

I love how you phrase that... What sign is your Mercury in? I see it's in the mutable, open-ended, and larger-than-life 9H. quote:

....My 9th house ruler is Neptune which is in the 6th. It's retrograde if that makes any difference. It's opposite my sun/Mercury, square moon, conjunct Saturn/Uranus, biquintile Mars, inconjunct Venus, and sextile Pluto.
Wow that is interesting! Sounds promising, though...6H is practical, Neptune is good for nursing, Neptune-Saturn-Uranus has to be more grounded and mentally active than other Neptunes would be. IP: Logged |

I think compulsory schooling laws are kinda ridiculous. Please no one stone me. But if a kid wants out, they should be able to leave. It's disrespectful to children to claim them as prisoners, and it's unhealthy for society that so many of us grow up feeling like captives.

Still cant wait to get on with my life and graduate though!
I like your comment. Treated like a therapist...interesting! What in your chart explains that, do you think? Do you have an 11H moon? IP: Logged |

Wanted to reply to everyone but I'm running out of the desire to talk...sorry if anyone was waiting for a comment, but it's just silly me talking, so how disappointed could you be??  Please direct any inquiries or complaints to my proxy, venus2tinkerbell. @Readingthestars~ I can't find your comment where you talked about seeing school as an opportunity but that stuck with me. I admire that. IP: Logged |

Gah, I finally come back after a long arse hiatus and you don't want to talk anymore. That's my luck.  But yeah, nice to see you around again. Virgo 9th is empty, ruler is in 1st. Mercury is positively aspected, and coincidentally Gemini is in 6th which increased my career focus and communication skills. I really loved school and Virgo 9th lead to being very methodical and hyper focused on doing well in school. Mercury is in 1st and pretty well aspected, so I particularly enjoyed the critical thinking and debates that school had to offer. Also why I developed a passion for teaching and whatnot. Writing and critique was another nice entity that school had to offer me. So really, I'm just a big nerd. IP: Logged |

Seimei you really started early with smoking weed! Your story sounds so sad, I can feel the uselessness of those years passed. But, did it make you a better person in the end? I really think I needed those times to do my work now. I have no regrets but I DO have an opinion!
I usually am not the person who blames others, mostly looking at myself for the answers but in this case, I blame it all on the teachers!! Except one. He was a story teller, Economics class go figure!! I instantly understood. He was upbeat and you could see he loved what he did and ... he loved working with kids. And most are just so boring. Thinking and living in this box with hardly a smile or a joke. Ugh. Do you think it is strange I was trying to entertain the lot? Someone had to do it!!!
I work on a school myself, since the year 2000. It;s so f*kkin' sad to see how many teachers don't actually love people. Ugh!!! What the h*ll are they doing there then?! Just yesterday I had a student who was expelled for NOTHING! The teacher was fed up so he sent the whole class to the canteen. Talk about bad teaching. Sure, youth has changed. They are much smarter and more assertive but USE that! They are still people! They pay and they have a right to enjoy education. This teacher I was talking about, he is not happy. One more proof how important it is to work on your self. Your own happiness, self worth, self love. He works in a dysfunctional department with a dysfunctional manager (ugh ... she needs to leave asap, poison!!) so yeah, i can also see where he is coming from. But he is the grown up here. He cannot let the students be the victim of this!!! Oh, I am not sorry for my rant. Hehe ...A way of saying sorry but I am not. Seimi, nice you wanna use that line! High fives! IP: Logged |

Why should you be sorry? I liked it, anyway. Schools vary like crazy, and so do our experiences...I object to regimented learning, Common Core, over-stressing children, forcing them to learn dry & worthless facts. But, there's always the personal element...I had a few amazing teachers ...one of them, she ought to be sainted, and I think many people evolved by leaps and bounds under her care. IP: Logged |

Lol. My backpack is so full, it's like carrying a bag of bricks to class 24/7. I've gotten used to it though (gaining strength here!). My CP Trig/Precalc class is like, "Notes in class, homework for practice."

Lots of back and forth for no good reason, and I usually get stuck with an elderly person (bless their hearts) who overly keeps in touch or just "sent their email to somebody" but they don't know who. Ay yi yi. No thank you.
This is so me. I really enjoy researching and learning about stuff that interests me on my own. But school? Nope, nobody got time for that. Also, I do agree that a hands on approach would make school so much better. Luckily at Bollman Technical Education Center in Colorado, they have classes like Construction and Graphic Design (writing this in my Graphic Design class lol). They even have Automotive IP: Logged |

My first day, when I was four or five, I was happy to be there - mum was the upset one. I didn't even turn when I waved at her over my shoulder (that wasn't why she was upset - she was glad that I was okay).And then school went on to suck, starting a couple of years later. I dropped out just days after my 15th birthday, with mum's blessing. Saturn in Cancer in the 9th, square Jupiter in the 5th (Aries) and Pluto in the 11th or 12th (Libra). Also inconjunct Neptune in the 2nd. IP: Logged |

I enjoyed school but I never really sat down and got to enjoy it, at least the collegiate experience. If college wasn't so expensive and/or I was financially well off were I could just learn all day I'd probably stay in it forever.

Actually I do have an 11th house moon! In Taurus! Yes I had a lot of friends who suffered from mental or emotional illnesses, but even random people would start complaining about certain problems to me too! Now it's okay, but as a child I sometimes found it a little straining y'know. I am cancer rising, my moon is squared by Uranus and berry widely by Neptune. Semi squares Saturn too. IP: Logged |
