If you guys feel like it and know anything about mystic rectangles, can you guys take a look at my chart and let me know your thoughts? Apparently it’s fairly uncommon to have?

"...considered to be a mild aspect pattern in that it generally does not generate a lot of discomfort, resistance or require convoluted actions in order to gain productivity. The individual with a Mystic Rectangle does gain considerable benefit from the planetary configuration's balance and structure. There is a high degree of synchronization between the four planets when the Mystic Rectangle is triggered. Unfortunately, understanding and acknowledging the balance is not the rule - the individual must consciously react with awareness and mindful endeavors. Placing too much attention onto any one of the four placements will throw the energies out of balance and set the individual's well-intended efforts adrift.

The power of the Mystic Rectangle takes practice in order to gain the most benefit from it. The masculine reception of the Mystic Rectangle is expressed through an extrovert nature by the individual. The feminine reception of the configuration is expressed through an introvert nature. The problem arises through the two oppositions which can cause the individual to bounce out of control between four opposing influences. The sextiles and trines must be used to unify and support the polarities. Another danger for individuals with this pattern is to become too self-contained and over-powered by the influences. Once the individual has learned how to harness the energies of the configuration, the decisions and choices in life become much easier to initiate and participate in." ... http://www.lunarliving.org/astrology/mysticrectangle-wedge-aspects.html

Mars in Leo/11th - I get noticed by others. ... Moon in Virgo/1st - I need to understand, by reasoning/logic. ... Jupiter in Pisces/7th - I believe that others can understand, by "knowing"/intuition. ... Neptune in Capricorn/5th - Guessing games are fun, and can be used to facilitate team building.

So ... here is a person who might introduce herself to strangers by asking "can you guess my rising sign" - then follow up with "can you tell me why you think that". And, this is a fun game in which everybody wins/learns.

Ahahahaha that’s a good example

How can I learn to harness this aspect? How do I “consciously react with awareness and mindful endeavors. Placing too much attention onto any one of the four placements will throw the energies out of balance and set the individual's well-intended efforts adrift.”

However ... because you already are "consciously reacting with awareness/mindfulness", you used the soft aspects to ask the question in a balanced/non-confrontational way.

Mars-saturn-pluto and Sun/NN-Saturn-pluto all sound exactly like the pattern of me struggling with lack of structure and self-discipline and being made aware of how badly I need it and how badly I need to start making organization part of my every day habits.

my habits are really chaotic and unstructured and one of the biggest things I need to work on this year is creating structure for myself at home, from which I will be able to spiritually/emotionally grow a ton. My daily routine is non-existent, I've been doing a **** job at working on it, but Saturn is constantly there reminding me that this is where my focus at home needs to be. Like it's not even *forcing* me to be organized in an inconvenient way.... It's just gently putting my awareness on the lack of structure in my daily routines at home. My college class schedule makes it possible for me to sleep in until noon or later if I feel like it. All of my classes are 2pm and later. It could have been something like all of them early classes and forced me to have a morning routine, but instead it's giving me all this room and freedom to realize I need to get my crap together myself and do better for myself because I'm not going to excel and reach my potential unless I actually become organised.

Note how your two learning triangles combine (via the Sun-Mars semi-sextile) to form (what the Hubers call) the Runner/Jumper or Dancing figure. And how this adds two more Learning Triangles ... anti-clockwise Saturn->Mars->Sun+NN and clockwise Pluto->Sun+NN->Mars.

Anti-clockwise/short-term-lesson (from Saturn) ... "I need to work this year on creating structure for myself at home,"

Clockwise/long-term-lesson (from Pluto) ..."from which I will be able to spiritually/emotionally grow".

But ... how/why will creating structure for yourself at home facilitate spiritual/emotional growth?*

[* "In the runner/jumper/dancing figure there is a flight mechanism - learned in childhood - that could develop into addictions to certain actions and activities. Once the figure is activated, the (habitual) flight mechanism runs by itself and can only be controlled if it is understood ... From Aspect Pattern Astrology, by the Hubers.]

Could it be that understanding the psychological drive of a habitual behavioural pattern is the key to overcoming it - so, Saturn willpower alone is not enough to prevent us from "falling off the wagon" in the future?

Yeah that’s a good point. I’ve spent a lot of time understanding where my disordered eating comes from and I’ve made a lot of progress with it, but still have work to do with finally fixing things there.

I’m not sure yet where all the chaos in my routines comes from... and why I have a hard time with keeping up with things. I’ll need to do some digging. It’s quite a nuisance because I love it when things are organized. I’m gradually getting to a place where it’s more important to me and it feels like it’s going to get a bit easier.

One of the things I’m really hoping to integrate into my life (I may make it a New Years resolution) is bullet journals! And I bought markers and a whiteboard calendar, just need to start using it. I also want a bulletin board maybe. I fantasize about all these ways to organize and structure my days and it really sucks that I never get around to it.

I’m especially interested in bullet journaling - a friend of mine that’s also a Virgo actually suggested it to me haha. I’ve tried regular journaling several times throughout my life, but for some reason I find it hard to write about my days and things that happened. I like the idea of it, because it would be nice to look back and read through things that were happening in my life, but I still haven’t found a way of doing so that feels natural. Maybe it’s not for me. But I forget so much and I don’t like how little I remember of my past. Everything is like a foggy haze and I remember odd things. But maybe bullet journaling, aka just keeping track of all the details and structuring my day, would help me remember things without needing to write down whole situations.

“the Bullet Journal is meant “to help you track the past, organize the present, and plan for the future.” It’s an amazing system that keeps a record of everything you could ever want to toss at it. It can be your task manager, sketchbook, journal, idea catcher, and much more!

The Bullet Journal is a organizational system in a notebook that keeps track of anything you would like to write down in an coherent way.”

I really really really really really really really want to become organized. Like super, amazingly, ridiculously structured and organized. I need it. It sounds so good to me. I’m getting so tired of feeling like I’m always behind and always forgetting things and always spending my time unproductively. My Virgo moon is helplessly drowning in this kind of lifestyle

Ideally, I’d wake up early in the morning, like 5am, have some time for going through my journal and making a daily list in a separate notepad (maybe, because writing it out again sounds like it be a good way to make sure I don’t forget things) of what needs to be done that day, and then get as much done as early as I can. I’d have time for working out and planning meals, and for studies.

Not only do I need it emotionally but I also am very much aware of how important this will be for me in the future. I’m in school to become a massage therapist right now and I plan to have my own business once I’m done. If I want to run a business and not have it fall apart in my hands, I need to develop this organizational skill.
