I have too much. I'm an expert procrastinator, and being depressed a lot of the time hasn't helped. Also, health issues that crop up. I'm thinking of coming up with a small list, and seeing how much I can cross off. I usually make huge lists, and don't get very far.

I get temporarily motivated around this time of year. I've just realized that Mars is squaring my nodes (the Sun, too), as well we my Moon/Venus, and opposing my Mars.

I used to always be doing something, but I really lack discipline now, in every way. I need to try to get a few new habits going (or return to better old habits).

I also want to try to get regular dinners going in this house again. I miss sitting at a table (unless we eat somewhere, like the Mexican restaurant we love), having a proper dinner. My dad comes home from work, and opens a can of something, or makes sandwiches. Frozen dinners have been appearing more. I'm here all the time, so I'm making three different things for dinner this week, as well as a couple of soups. Sour cream and noodle bake (not that healthy, but we like it), meatloaf and mashed potatoes, because I got a craving yesterday, and black bean enchiladas. All of this can be frozen, if needed, which is handy. I couldn't sleep, so I made a start on chopping onions, and other things. I also need to ease up on my dependence on my instant pot.

in my case mars is squaring my saturn, conjunct my sun, sextile my pluto and trine my neptune and in my 11th house

i have zero desire to do much, just a general sense of restlessness with no direction but i'm not good with direction to begin with

i haven't really cooked in a while, but it's just me so i see no point i'd rather skip food or eat something that requires minimal cleaning if i'm only feeding myself (i'll make stuff if my birds are going to eat it too though)

before my fiancee and i broke up i cooked near daily because i'd do it for her but left to my own devices i'll just eat **** like nuts and fruit etc because again lazy

i've never had an enchilada and i'm not 100% on exactly what they are either, but nome of that sounds like my kind of thing lol (i don't eat meat and i should be vegan due to allergies but i occasionally eat things i shouldnt and deal with the reactions)

but yeah i'm just bored and restless trying to figure out what i feel like doing

i guess technically the day mars hit my sun exact i got bored enough to give myself a tattoo (all my ex's equipment was still here, it's occult related) but that's about it

I realized above that my Gemini and Pisces are taking a direct hit right now. What degree is your Mars?

I have Mars in Libra 19 degrees. Neptune is currently parallel Mars. I can relate to the laziness. I have been so lethargic.

Mars in Virgo trine my Sun. It will square my Uranus / Jupiter/Neptune/Sun stellium during its transit course. I expect fireworks.

I have Mars in 6th house conj 7th. I am admittedly a gym fan.I don't like the idea of my body"overpowering" me and I do feel better about myself after working out.

But I didn't realize that this is a common theme with others who have Mars in Virgo/6th house too.

I'm trying to avoid fireworks.

I have my Mercury/Ceres/Chiron/Sun in the sixth house, and I used to like working out, once I got started. Once I had this stomach condition start, nine years ago, I was afraid to exercise the way I used to, because of the chance of dehydration (not able to keep water down, a lot of the time, and it's worse if I so much as go for a walk). I really miss it. I should try with the rebounder again, at least.

I have a juicer, and a good blender. I should have been on more of a juice/smoothie diet. That was my intention through the hotter months, but my stomach goes through periods of resisting cold foods, so I've been eating more soups.

I was a vegetarian for years, and lean more in that direction generally. I think it's the change in weather, nostalgia, creating cravings. I miss having my family around me. It's just me and my dad, and then I can't eat the way I used to (although my stomach has always given me some kind of problem, it wasn't like this).

Anyway, I have a slight sore throat, my head was hurting just enough to bug, and the computer and phone screens are hurting my eyes. I've just slept for four hours, and woke up from a nightmare. Stomach seems calmer, so it's back to my regular soup.

i have a lot of **** wrong with mine too, sometimes it's easier to just not eat because everything is an issue

hunger goes away anyway after you just ignore it and you stop feeling it usually after the first full day of not eating it's easier to just keep going with it

in response to the other stuff you said

i haven't eaten meat in a long time, im not sure how many years

i stopped because i was weird with it and eating it was a really annoying process that i didnt enjoy

i'd have to cut it up into tiny pieces and examine all of it for parts that i found repulsive (veins or fat or bones) and then if i found anything i had to throw it all away because then i couldnt eat it

and then even if it passed that test sometimes chewing it would be really ******* gross so i couldnt do that either

also hate touching it

it has nothing to do with animal rights or ethics etc on any level for me, i just find it repulsive

Cancer and Virgo both relate to stomach ailments. Cancer is the feeling of being "full" and evokes emotional feelings of well-being.

Virgo is the feeling of being bloated cause you overate as well as the tipping point where your body says "you've had enough". Virgo is also the discriminatory precaution towards certain foods or smells.

I get the sensitivity towards certain foods. I can't eat pork, sardines or deep fried anything except chips. The oil irritates my stomach and I vomit.

I just recently discovered a machine that can air fry chips and got so elated. I think its also a Virgo thing to get excited about foods that are delicious but have or require close to no fats/ oils to prepare them.

A blender/smoothy is Virgo related invention My last one is broken and I have been meaning to get a new one.

I also have a fixation for dairy. Like I looooove cereals-specifically oatmeal( we call it muesli here). I could survive on that alone if needs be, I think it such a wonderful food invention.

i still have to have to look up what an enchilada is exactly im assuming it's pretty much like most mexican food just the same thing in a slightly different form

I was a vegetarian because of the animals, but also because it was usually the last thing I ate - I didn't want it, most of the time. I loved fried chicken, but we didn't eat much of that.

Yeah, I mostly eat soup, because it's more gentle, and it lulls other cravings, as long as something is sitting there. I was mostly okay when I was adding probiotics to kefir, once a day, adding a bit of flax oil to that, and for the rest of the day, I had tea, then something like carrot juice (with grapefruit and ginger), soup when I was hungry. If that's most of my days, then I can occasionally get away with something heavier.

Is it a Moon in Cancer/4th thing? Can't say.

I love dairy, and I used to love muesli. I have some in the cupboard, right now. I was feeling depressed last Friday, and dad hadn't got my call, asking if I could go with him to work, down in Amish country. So I texted him and asked if he could bring me a cheeseball that I like from a store down there, with crackers for dipping into it. Sooo good. I can get away with eating it in small amounts.

I have Mars in the 4th house, so that might be part of it astrologically. I was trying to remember if this worst issue started with Neptune conjunct Mars, but it started the year before.

My fiends know I eat muesli for breakfast. If not that, its sorghum. Nothing else. lol

Mars in 4th house heh? Maybe the literal interpretation is a defensive/hypersensitive(Mars) stomach(4th)? I wonder if you get ulcers? I do. And I have Moon/Mars square.I think thats what also contributes to the pickiness in diet.

Enchiladas are like burritos covered in a sauce, and then baked. I prefer burritos that I can pick up, and I love hot sauce - too much.

---

it's like you knew i was too lazy to look it up still

i like hot sauce too, even when it's a bad idea, but most things are anyway so it makes no difference except when it's stuff i'm also allergic to

i don't care for soup, i don't really like eating things that are floating in that much liquid bothers me idk
