Before I rant: what in Astrology would be the culprit? Is it a transit?

I can't move forward from the past. Literally nothing interests me.. I can't even watch TV if I'm alone. I can't be independent and go for a walk by myself because I'm the only one making that decision and it scares me. I lack motivation, I'm an extreme hypochondriac ...

All of these problems; and I need a solution. I can't keep living like this. I need to participate in life.. UGH

Do any of you feel the same way?

My sister suggested I join a PSYCH 101 class. She said I would find it to be fun because I'm sort of into that stuff...

Sister, have you tried meditation? Or yoga? Maybe some good ol fasioned, energy-releasing exercise. I used to feel just this way and those things helped!

Hmm.. Right now I've been having Saturn transiting my Moon and Jupiter..

I feel like this could make a person feel a little tied down or trapped. It looks like you may also be going through these transits.

If Jupiter is optimistic, having Saturn right on its back is like saying "well, what's the point?"

Yeah, first thing popped in my mind is busy with external things. Meditation and the like will make you turn more inward, connecting to your core, purpose. There you will not feel the need to DO something to feel satisfied, but more the experience of BEING! And could be related to transits but transits only show us where we are not complete or where is 'work' to do or 'where to let go'. So what's your transits at the moment?

I had a phase like that. I couldn't take decisions at all. Couldn't just open the door and get some air on the street.
Nothing had a purpose.

TrSaturn was conjunct my Moon. If you wish to post a chart with transits, I could give a look. People could have an "astrological brainstorming"

EDIT: Oh you have link to your chart in the signature. I will see when I get back

If not...tell us what you see happening on the chart ;-)

EDIT (AGAIN!) - Saturn is two degrees from your Moon. God it's almost mathematical but he might not be the only culprit here

Sorry you are going through this, DS.

I've been there before. Just remember that nothing lasts forever....

Simple things may help more than you think, especially creative activities. For me, just being around the house (and I mention this, since you don't like going out) I find that getting rid of old stuff, rearranging furniture, buying one new funky thing for a room, or hanging Christmas lights inside can help.

Aromatherapy. An interesting, new kind of tea. Savoring what is right there before me, here and now.

And basically what I've learned is, I can improve on things while I'm in a funk, and when I come out of the funk, reap the benefits of all that I did while in zombie mode.

Hope you feel better soon.

Desiring Shadows,

Saturn is currently in transit conjunct your natal Moon. That can mark a time in which internal response to the outer world becomes flat. Just make sure that it does not go flat in response to your own needs. It is time to become more aware of what they are in very real (not theoretical) terms.

In addition, Pluto is now semi-sextile your Moon, but that transit is more short-lived. you will experience it until summer, then get a break for a while until the end of the year/beginning of 2017. So it marks a time of potential depression, asking that your emotional life and habits become better attuned to your personal empowerment. Some emotional stuff could come to the surface during this time -- but not in the usual sense of 'emotional'. More likely, feelings of alienation, the inner frustrations people carry with them, but stuff down when times are good. Time for some emotional healing to be set up.

Saturn is also in transit parallel your natal Neptune, so escapism will not work in dealing with these matters. The use of your imagination will have to become constructive. However, in the next couple years this can lead to a spiritual awakening as Pluto is also parallel your natal Neptune. Just don't expect it to come easy or through casual intellectual investigation. Real effort of a constructive, focused sort is indicated as per Saturn's involvement in these transits.

Learn grounding during this time:

Every single one of the planets in your birth chart is in South Declination, indicating personal/private/internal development as the focus of your live over external matters (vs north decl.)

Thanks so much, everyone! I read all of your posts, but I do not have all the energy to respond to them.. (Being anti-mars. #libran) lmao

Missblyss:

Sylven:
I'm going to try some Yoga or Meditiation techniques off of YouTube or atleast learn more about it. I already breathe in deep breathes naturally.. Long deep ones.. Unlike most people who do shallow, fast breaths.

sylven:I could post my transiting planets but I don't want to move the thread. Or maybe it will be. Whatever lol. But I also have Mercury Square Pluto and Mercury is my ascendant sign. But there's a lot more to look at... Anyways....

Reading The Stars95: I agree with you about the transits. It's cool we are both having them. Hope you didn't experience them to the extent I have. It's just like a very early mid life crisis or something. Lmao

Soltze: I guess I will post the chart. Maybe this is an element I'm lacking? Because I have been this way for a while and that could be the reason. Saturn is just making it seem more austere.

I'm going to make a seperate post because I'm on my phone and I don't want to risk losing everything I just wrote.

Thank you, Faith. Hehe, early spring cleaning! Lol JK. But yeah, I also thought of a good idea was--if I'm sad or not doing much, I should help others and try to make them happy because if their happiness came because of me-- in a way makes me feel better. Like I made the world a better place!

I think it's just the fact I hate being alone. I can't get anything done when I'm by myself--extreme loneliness!

I used to be able to.. At one point.. But I went back into this cocoon . That I hate!

Sorry this thread is all about me but yeah here's my transiting planets:

windows 7 screen shot

and also I think what prompted this thread was: a giant let down. Someone said they would call me and they never did. Nothing serious.. But to me it really hurt and people need to be more accountable then that. Seriously.

I've also been alone A LOT lately.. I also hate being alone. I think it has been adding to the anxiety and depression I've been going through.

Like.. I have a house completely to myself 83% of the time. I've been trying to get out lately, but, it's been so cold and I don't drive at this point, so, I haven't really been motivated to go out into the cold weather and freeze. (I haven't really been feeling the best physically lately either.. There is just a lot going on that has been bringing me down.)

I hope you get to feeling better soon, and I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I'm sorry to hear that! Maybe you could arrange to sleep at a friend or relatives house? (And they could get you)

About you not feeling your best: you should take MultiVitamins!! They really help. Also there's this thing called Seasonal Affective Disorder that means because people don't get enough sun light they go into a depression-- so instead of tanning beds (which are cancerous. I still do it sometimes HAHA) you should take the Vitamin D3 supplement. But don't overdose that I would recommend 1,000mcg a day... Every person who takes it needs a different amount.. It can be discovered which amount by a blood test.. Having darker pigment or being pregnant or a senior (which u obviously are not! Lmao) means u would need more V D3 as well...

Thank you so much! I hope everything works out marvelously for you!! BTW I love your username always have. I even made my Insta account something very similar once. Hehe ^^

xD.. Yeah, I actually found out yesterday I'm extremely deficient in vitamin D. I've been taking supplements. I think that it has been a gradual process considering this last year I've been practically nocturnal xD.. Then, yes, take into consideration the current lack of sunlight. I've been hoping that is the main reason I haven't been feeling the best lately. I've been having a hard time telling. Neptune is squaring my Moon right now, and I feel that has made a lot of things kind of confusing for me lately. Sorry, didn't mean to derail this thread to talking about my problems lol.

Thanks! it took me a little while to come up with a screen name I liked. It's actually a screen name I came up with for another account/site and thought it would work well for an astrology site.

On point, Faith.

DS,
Kannon observed the Moon-Saturn dynamic that might be playing a part in this. It might also be the lack of sunlight, vitamins and/or iron (my friend who has an iron deficiency is like this, except it's not just a phase, it's all the time). Not to sound like 'mom', but eating fresh cucumbers and carrots and fresh fruit in general would perk you up better than supplements, IMO. But if the deficiency is severe, the supplements would be faster & better. [/MOM]

Anyway -- all that aside, it's probably a Libran lesson for us to learn - of being alone. Savour being alone! 'Enjoying your own company' may seem something sad people tell themselves to do, but it's not. You'll discover so much about yourself this way. Plus, think of all the things you can do that your friends wouldn't normally agree to. Being a Libra stellium, I bet you go along with a lot of plans and outings that don't really interest you, but just because your friends want to go.

You talked about not wanting to follow through on the decision 'coz it was only your decision. What's wrong with that, DS? Your decision, your preferences are just as valid as anyone else's. Indulge yourself.

I used to be like this, the type that can't even go to the water cooler without company. Then I went through this phase where I was practically on my own for everything and I found I quite enjoyed it. Even discovered things I didn't know I liked. I still am water-cooler-co-dependent with my best buds, but the difference is now I know I can do it all on my own, and happily. Maybe this is the frame of mind you're looking for?

Do any of you feel the same way?



you may be in some sort of depression. I would agree with Ami about seaching for passions and some else who suggested creative andeavors..

normally depression is associated with blocked mars. it may be you have denied yourself to go for what you want either because of pleasing others or any other reason i may not think of... moving forwards, I think taking time to think what you have wanted in the past and try slowly to reconnect with the desire. they may be repressed..

it may be also anger repressed. think about something that have you given anger. sometimes anger is the cure... repressed rage once acknoledge can help you to find the energy to start doing things...

all the best and yes, i assume we all have been there one way or the other..

Hehe, yay I was right!
You just need to get active. I was so busy today that I didn't think about my problems.. I just focused on the task at hand. It's kind of good to get away from all that negativity for a while

Yup, absolutely. Libra is the partnership sign after all. I guess my own thoughts and decisions are valid they just don't seem that way sometimes.
I'm a work in progress... Good that you've mastered it though

I haven't been getting angry for a long time. Years! And then just out of no where I'm cursing at drivers and yelling and fighting. So I'm not as suppressed as I once was . Honestly I don't even know what I would have to be hiding mad feelings about anyways. My friend blocked me for a long time and out of the blue messaged me .. Of course I couldn't be mean about it because then he would go away again and I would thus be crushed (once again) so
That's been on my mind. I'm not even caring at this point.. Just letting things roll.

Whatever depression I may be in, this isn't new...
I just need to keep myself busy. I got so comfortable with being bored and doing nothing and just thinking about things and feeling emotions that I lost track of the real world and its eating me up and preventing growth. So yeah, this stops now. (It did these past few days. Thankfully)
