I believe I have it, when I was a teen my mother said I had growing pains and I would hit my thighs to calm that feeling down but as an adult I still deal with this in a different way; perhaps back then it was just growing pains bc I experienced this need to stretch and move around and hit my thighs during the day, now the need to move around happens at night when I lay down to rest and fall sleep and I dont have the urge at all to hit my thighs anymore nor would that help but yes the urge to move around a lot and stretch is strong. It seems that at night when I want to go to sleep is hard for me to be still, its feels very uncomfortable inside and I have to move around, its hard to explain but restless leg syndrome seems to describe it and in my case its very irritating/annoying.

"The most distinctive or unusual aspect of the condition is that lying down and trying to relax activates the symptoms.As many as 10 percent of the U.S. population may have RLS. Several studies have shown that moderate to severe RLS affects approximately 2-3 percent of adults (more than 5 million individuals). An additional 5 percent appears to be affected by a milder form. Childhood RLS is estimated to affect almost 1 million school-age children, with one-third having moderate to severe symptoms."

Maybe it's a Virgo Mercury thing also, Hypatia Though not sure if you also have Virgo Mercury.

I noticed having this more often since my Uranus/Moon transit. I'm having Uranus trine Mars in my natal, I would associate it with that as well. So Uranus can be, I think. It wants to shake you.

Astro unrelated, I watched today a video where someone was talking about an energy clearing method, and he said that one day he was feeling horrible, and he just decided to lay on the bed and after laying there for a while he started feeling all that sad/angry/nervous energy in his body stuck and he felt that all the energy was wanting is to flow through/ come out of the body. So by accepting the feelings and just laying there, his body started to send him signals that it wants to shake, and by moving and shaking all this energy came out and he felt wonderful after.

Not sure if it could be related, but it sounds very interesting to me.

Its a neurological chronic condition that can be a lifetime thing so I dont connect it in my case to feelings that I have inside that I cannot get out but who knows I will keep that story in mind, its interesting.

We have had a major slow-moving transit involving many of our generations with planets Uranus and Pluto...
in Squares and Opposition.
I would look for those as the set up for triggers?

Cramps and tics,
Mercury and Uranus
in AQUARIUS and GEMINI

traditionally ...
Aquarius are the lower legs, ankles, circulation.
Gemini the whole nervous system.
Sagittarius the upper legs and thigh areas. The Liver.
Pisces the feet and toes.

Virgo... is more the digestive system.
mercury virgo would be irritability of intestines.

(to the best of what I could recollect)

There are a lot of people on medications now... RLS is a side-effect of some meds.

Also, when we're not balanced and eating right? Mineral imbalances. Some seniors can't afford buying good foods... and sometimes their digestions are slowed down and they can't absorb as much from foods.

Some kids need to work off some of their extra stored energy with exerting themselves in recess parks and play-yards-- They need that exuberant running and more physical exercise, balanced good diets, and fresh air. .... Many now are born with food allergies too. This makes for a very restricted diet for some... If their parents are poor, those kids might not be getting the highest quality nutrition. And REST... Children NEED to get adequate sleep... otherwise they are burning candles at both ends, and exhausting their inner stores... robbing their bodies.

I should mention that I have Jupiter conjunct Uranus exact in Sagittarius in the 1H. I had growing pains when I was young and would literally punch my thighs to feel better as well as stretch out a lot my butt and thighs and Jupiter and sag rule thighs and upper legs but for many years I have been dealing with restless leg syndrome at night. I have always had a strong need to stretch for the purpose of tightening muscle in my thighs and butt but also lower legs. Uranus maybe needs to stretch those, its a need that I cannot ignore and irritating, disruptive.

Maybe weight lifting and exercising more regularly would help.

"It makes sense that getting regular exercise would help alleviate the condition’s symptoms, which can include a tingling, bubbly, achy, or creeping sensation that strikes the lower legs (and sometimes feet, thighs, and even arms) when lying in bed at night. These sensations trigger a strong urge to move around or walk."

My diet when I was young was not that great bc I had terrible appetite so perhaps I did have poor nutrition then, I slept fine though. I am not taking any meds.

I'm so sorry you had that problem growing up... Sounds horrible.

I want to emphasize that this is neurological thing. I would love to hear from others that have this problem or know someone that has this problem and show me their chart.

Ever since it moved to aqua, i never shaked it uncontrollably (slightly uncontrollably anyway is how it was) again.

Hypatia, I HAVE had that happen to me... I do know what this feels like, honestly I do. Luckily for me, though, it was only for a around a month? and maybe for a few times... It was during my 40s, I think. Then occasionally, some reminding-type transits, I think. I can't recall which they were.... sorry.

I DO know that when I feel that restlessness (not as severe as clinical RLS), I've gone to up my minerals-foods intake. Once I did some cell-salts (homeopathic).

You might want to look into homeopathic salts remedies... You place them under your tongue (at least, the ones I took).

I had the leg 'growing pains' when I was maybe 12 years old? ... I was having food allergies, and the doctor had completely taken me off milk in my diet. He wrote a prescription for a liquid to replace what calcium, etc, I would be missing WHILE milk was gone.

My mother decided not to renew the liquid vitamins the doctor told her to give me. I remember 'the pain' in my upper legs-- definitely. (My mother thought it was 'too expensive' to buy for me.)

I had those pains for months!..... That's why I asked about the age. There are certain ages when girls begin their transformation into womanhood.... They need good nutrition and their minerals especially then.

I agree my Aquarius friend constantly has lower leg problems.

Plus my sister who is a Capricorn with plenty of Aquarius aspects has twister her ankles several times.

@hypatia238

Hearts to you, I know how it feels. After sitting down for a couple hours I tend to get the pin and needles feeling.

I got up once in a public place and...I'm thinking ouch...I can't walk.

Saying goodnight/goodmorning...
I have a volunteer job on Tuesdays (today), so, I'll see you later. Gotta get shut-eye.

Does your Venus and Mercury fall in the 9H or does your Venus or Mercury rule the 9H? if not what do those two planets rule including Uranus and what houses to they fall on?
