Don't worry, I'm Libra rising and very Mercurial, so not likely to pull out the whip.  IP: Logged |

Yeah wow, that's a lot of Lilith/feminine energy in your family! All the Lilith strong types I know as well (though more specifically if it's on the upper half of the chart, or near the MC) tend to have a lot harder of a time really accepting their own personal worth in the world. Deep down they maybe know it, but it's only behind closed doors and when pushed with the right people. Usually it can be heartbreaking to see how much they really reject themselves (but also I understand how hard it can be to accept the Lilith energy in ourselves when it's strongly placed). That's really cool that you've got so much strong feminine energy as well; it makes sense having a mother that way/being raised in that environment. We always need strong women as much as every other type <3 IP: Logged |

I feel that. I think the anxiety might come from the square's nature! Finding a happy co-habitation between someone else's opinion and your own. But that also means getting to know how your speedy, brusk mindset works too! Just because it's blunt doesn't necessarily mean it's rude or wrong. There may be less explanation because you've made a decision on the matter. I personally found really putting effort into learning how other people think in general was very helpful! Not just in-the-moment situations, but over all. For a long time I just assumed everyone else's mind worked the same way as mine did lmao. Actually, studying Mercury in the 12 signs really helped open up the instinctive Lilith energy- the Lilith sign is usually the one you 'know' instinctively as well, but can also trip over yourself with since it's the square to where your mind actually is. I would say Aries in the 8th is a Lilith that has zero time for anything BS, only straight information and to the point know-hows. But that Mercury of yours in Cancer! It feels and empathizes regardless, I'd bet especially if the person was a friend of yours. Lilith can empathize too, just as Aries can! It just takes learning how to shift the focus elsewhere (and I mean, Aries in the 8th is already pretty good at sharing, despite what people might think; you're gonna share that Lilith energy one way or another!)

This is horrible dad-advice :laugh: Everyone has a child mind, and lbh, ARIES exists as the inner child, so they naturally understand anyway. IP: Logged |

Maybe it's beneficial to have Lilith touching Ego parts of the chart, like Sun, Moon, Ascendant... but less so if it touches parts of the chart associated with the public, other people, social activities? Lilith as part of the Ego might bring tremendous empowerment I think. At least that is my experience. But Lilith isn't very accepted in society, and a connection between Lilith and the public in a chart might invite self-criticism...? Just a thought. And I guess having Lilith touch more primal, aggressive parts of the chart, like say Pluto or Mars, might tip the scales a bit too far in the other direction... too intense, iconoclastic, destructive towards others??

Lol! I think my one time fascination (fairly short lived, but intense) with psychoanalysis is showing. The above is like literally super-ego, ego and id. Super-ego and id being bad places for Lilith, and ego being better...IP: Logged |

True! I have Lilith conjunct three personal planets as well as Pluto, and I do feel a lot of empowerment on a personal level. But I also have asteroid Lilith conjunct the NN, and I find the 'social rejection' feeling in that area as well (and it's in the 11th house, so somewhat doubled). quote: [/B]Lol!

I hear you! I wouldn't say 'bad' necessarily, but it does need a lot of extra 'checking'. IP: Logged |

This is immaculate advice. There should be a line of self respect when dealing with certain people. If people act so inconsiderately they deserve it lmao (but of course im serious). You dont value me enough to see things from my perspective? Thats exactly how going to treat everybody when pluto hits my asc. Since I dont wanna haul off and get my revenge promptly like i would all the time, theres going to be a **** load patronizing and condescension . Its the least i could do. Plus aries rules my 3rd house i know when people genuinely dont get it and when there full of it.. Usually the latter IP: Logged |

I meannnn there's always the chance that Pluto could backfire with so much exertion when it hits your AC lmao. But I haven't experienced it and I probably won't until I'm at least in my 70s, so who knows  And yes, I can definitely see the Aries 3rd house lmao IP: Logged | |
