I guess mercury conjunct mars can feel like mercury retrograde perhaps...

But major point why there’re similarities with my past Pluto guy drama even here we touch mostly work part related drama? Thanks Pluto RX for giving me more clarity what I really doesn’t need here and completely ruin my illusions. I just need to keep away from these places, they’re liars and fake.

My dad is a 26 Libra I believe. (Oct 16) He gave all his stuff back to the company because he retired. !!! He got an email because they claim they didn't receive it. So he sent an email back with documentation he added some extra flavor and said that he is glad he doesn't work for this company anymore and he would never recommend this place to anyone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rgqcPTm4UY

He also has Mercury and Mars in Libra. I am so happy that he can retire and not give a shhh what he says, and stick it to the man.

I really feel for you and have been there. From 2015-2020. I've had super issues with working with others. Especially 2016-18. There is a lot of secret rivalries at my job. But not with me really. Some teachers are grumpy sometimes. BUT after what I experienced I am just like "IDC, as long as the person doesn't follow me around all day and tells me that I suck at my job."
While forming friendships at works is a bonus blessing. People that just chose to tolerate me are the real MVP's!

It stinks when people can't be civil and tolerant of others when it's where we spend most of our day and our lives.

Best of luck!

Now Uranus is retrograde. I am seriously sensitive to the stationary rx energy with big planets. Uranus in the middle degrees of my chart is super active. The Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus in my chart. I've been hella mental. And not sleeping well. I did not fall asleep until 6am last night.

I took care of an errand and work emails. I think I am going to get some shut eye for a half hour then clean.

Funny you brought that up bc I was going to tell you that I bought this week a tea called The Calm one with Hops and chamomile, I just got two cans and have taken it the nights were I feel the most tired and stress and it me rest better.

I just found it on Amazon but for a packet of 12 cans:

A bit pricey but I may just get it and keep them around as needed for those days I really feel the stress more poignantly.

I’m feeling a lot better about my new job. I had a successful first week of training. Everyone is super nice, and people actually talk to me with respect rather than disdain. I’m settling into a daily routine and my mental health seems better working days instead of nights. I’m not exhausted after my shifts and get to spend more time with my mom.

I thought about picking up shifts at my old job, because I didn’t want to lose clinical skills. But the very thought of going back to a place where everyone is so negative and ugly to each other, makes me sick. It’s a wonder I survived as long as I did.

Saturn is leaving my IC with hard aspects to nodes and Mercury . I have people watching over my shoulder. Transits to MC and planets around my AC don’t do good, but mostly unwanted attention. I might have the caption on my forehead “my life is too good, please, give me **** ” . I attract narcissistic people with big ego who are really precise about how things should be and you should be. Most people just play along and kiss their arses. Like my friend said it was obvious from the beginning what these people are about, but my Neptune is still dragging me toward them.
And nowadays I need to work pretty close with somebody else what’s not my cup of tea. I need some freedom. I accepted it under misleading flexibility of schedules. But there is no flexibility in reality. I cannot handle somebody’s constantly watching even if he doesn’t say anything.
I’m not sure if my lessons to change or to run away. But I don’t want to redo my whole mold to be what they want me to be, I need to find something where you don’t need to work close with somebody else, especially, my manager/boss. My Pluto and Uranus might just rub an authority figure in a wrong way by default. No appreciation when I do something extra, but when a little missing detail is always noticed.

Also I have decided to try acupuncture for my restless leg syndrome, I think mercury conjunct mars in virgo maybe is pushing me that direction.

Very nice! It's alright to treat ourselves, especially in the wellness department. I would totally go on a spree on Amazon with sleep remedies. I've bought blood orange soda off of Amazon for my Valentine before.
I made a list in my list notebook of a bunch of sleep remedies. When I get a gift card I will go to town.

One of my best friends bought me the lavender chamomile tea before my wedding. It worked like a charm. The first night at the hotel I could not get Britney Spears songs out of my head, once I turned everything off and shut my eyes. My room had one Chamomile tea bag. Then I could sleep.

Quite a few women in the preschool teaching field seem to retire in the 50's. Usually when women stay past their 50's in preschool they get talked about behind their back, about how grumpy they are and how they should retire.

At my place, 5 people have taken early retirement in their 50's. I've only been at this place for 4 years too. I am seriously happy for all of them though. They get their time, put in their heart and soul. They can do whatever they want now. (they are all Aries, Taurus, Libra, and Gemini)

My sister is a September Libra so she had the Pluto square early. She told her boss to do her own work one time. She would dump her work on her a lot. She ended up being team leader in her early 20's. And everyone would go to her for their squabbles. This was entertaining. She got a better job but her boss was a total narcissist. She worked with him for 3 years. She was miserable the entire time, and was actively looking for a new job the entire time. Boss would try to blame her for everything that didn't go right. They would have heated discussions sometimes. Neptune square Saturn transit was definitely not helping either.

Bad Saturn transits can seem to make others hyper critical of our selves. When I had the Saturn and Pluto square at the same time...my boss was obsessed with me and would actively look for something I wasn't doing right, like she just made up her mind.
Once the school shut down, I could not even front about wanting to go back to work.

Are you an Aquarius IC?

I know the feeling of trying to make a job work and more shhh keeps happening.

Setting up my classroom at the beginning of the year is always a shhh show. I might go in this Sunday evening to set up my room with out my boss buggin me.

I've experienced her telling me do something else, I get in the middle of that something else, and then she tells me to stop doing that and do something else. This can go on all day.

Hahah! Yes bad Pluto and Saturn transits is like wearing a sign taped on our backs saying "Please kick the living dog-shite out of me!"

I think in 2019 I had the Pluto square and Neptune went back and squared my ASC one last time.

Luckily right now the people who have issues with me I only have to see them a couple times a month. I so know the feeling of having to spend most of the time with nasty people, it's unbearable.

Consistent hours are important to me too. I am also a big believer in using all PTO days.

Oh my gosh, it sounds like you could use a break and work from home if that is possible with your job. I know Libra's need social interaction though. haha When my dad started working from home he told me he missed socializing there a bit. He worked from home before the pandemic. When the new company took over, and when everyone had to work from home...they made a new requirement that they need to install a camera on their computer so they could be watched. Supervisors can listen into to phone calls to make sure they are working...so it just seems like one of those things to keep people down, like they don't want people enjoying themselves too much.

Oh man I know that feeling. Other teachers could slack off. But if I was out of the loop with something, I would be ridiculed. My boss really had a tunnel vision issue with me.

I have been dressing less feminine lately. Feeling bloated from having booze that has sneaky gluten in it. While my weight has been stable. Last Sunday I had food poisoning on my way back home from girl trip. I was in a public gas station bathroom for 15 minutes. My mom text my dad about that while she sat in the car. And then my dad text my mom cow emojies. LOL

Well I have just been snatching up husbands sweat pants. He owns a few and so do I. I'm snatching up his Tshirts too. My style is very business casual and dressy most of the time. I relapsed with smoking. Though I've cut down to two a day after my episode.

I was emotional and irrational with husband, but we are doing better now.

Sometimes with bad transits to my Venus, I can sort of have a fashion sense of "giving up"

It's been more of a challenge to keep up with my fitness routine too.

I can barely get contacts in today.

Usually with my drivers license pictures I put a lot of effort in with hair and make up. This time I just had my hair down and clean with barely any make up. I ended up liking my picture but it is very "natural" looking compared to my previous photos.

I also think ARIES tends to be in great shape bc they like to be active and love the outdoors but virgo transits can push us to get back on track with fitness goals.
