Funny enough, I'm taking my partner to go indoor skydiving in a couple weeks for her b-day. Neither of us have ever done it before, but it looks fun. I'm not sure I could do the real thing. Probably could, but that would subject my body to more stress than I'd prefer.

Hangliding, paragliding, or the like is more my speed.

I live a couple hours from the ocean, and I plan on making one of those large kite/small paragliding kites and mini surfboard type set ups from scratch for this upcoming summer. If you do it right, and jump off a wave or catch a good wind, you can glide in the air for a bit.

Anyways, when you go skydiving, let us know how it was.

That sounds like a lot of fun Galactic, the indoor skiving and the paragliding in the ocean! Love it, I think I would love that too. I will let you all know for sure, its in my bucket list, last year did the hot air balloon so hoping this year I go skiving finally

Have fun with those exciting/excitable transits.

hahahahhaha @albuquerque, I was excited to go visit there but then I read online the crime rate is high there and I was like "oohh shoot, never mind then" but it must have been really cool to do the Hot Air Balloon Ride there.

I love we both have done the hot air balloon thing and are moving unto Skiving!

Nah, Sun and Mercury in Cap. Mars is in Virgo (2nd House) conjunct Jupiter in 1st, trine Sun+Mercury, and widely square Sag Neptune.

All in all, my Mars feels a bit like a cross between Pisces and Sag with some Virgo background (focus on diet, health, practical service to others, etc). A little more fiery than Pisces, but a little less fiery than Sag.

I'm slightly tipped to the introvert side of the spectrum, but with a somewhat adventurous side.

I would think mars conjunct jupiter is up for adventure and new experiences too but loved your statement "I'm slightly tipped to the introvert side of the spectrum, but with a somewhat adventurous side." I feel it fits perfectly your mars conjunct jupiter in virgo with Sun and mercury in Capricorn.

Loved "All in all, my Mars feels a bit like a cross between Pisces and Sag with some Virgo background (focus on diet, health, practical service to others, etc). A little more fiery than Pisces, but a little less fiery than Sag."

We did it right here close by in Boulder, it would have been cooler to do it out of state but glad we did it still.

I finally joined the gym today (24 hour fitness), they have a promotion in Colorado right now $1 first month and after $25 per month and you can cancel any time, month to month, this includes the pool/hot tub/sauna/steam room area of the gym too. I was not excited to go to the gym but did notice my muscles feeling more relaxed and less tense after my work out and that is very much something I need more of in my life, I am doing it for health and wellness, it was interesting weightlifting my shoulders, arms and upper body, I feel that I neglect that part of my body so is like my body felt empowered for giving this part of it needed attention.

Tr Mars in cappy is travelling through the 1st. Hopefully I stick through it and go at least once a week.

Wasn't aware that Boulder had that. Pretty cool. I've been to Boulder before. We went during the time that we hiked the Colorado trail (starting off in Durango and going towards Denver, opposite of everyone else).

That's a nice deal on the gym rates/fee. I really should use our gym membership more. I just feel weird going to a public gym, especially doing weights there with those big arse mirrors.

I recently bought a home exercise machine made by knock off brand that is very similar to the Total Gym, but haven't been using it much since I tend to come home tired. My job is moderately physical and I tend to not get full nights sleep.

I agree, it's a good idea to work all different parts of your body.

Funny, when T. Mars was last in my 1st, over the Summer (or late Spring?) I think, I briefly went through a period where I was focusing on building muscle and learning about how best to do so, etc. Was also more amorous than usual during that period.

That is so interesting the connection with building muscle and tr mars through the 1st house. I wonder if body builders tend to have that placement natally.

What I am noticing is that I feel a bit bipolar lately in the context of my marriage, I feel saturn is pulling me in one direction and uranus is pulling me in another direction. Saturn wants me to stick it out and work through it, stay with what is familiar and uranus wants me to walk away and make a clean break, go with what is unfamiliar. I am not sure which side will win, one moment it seems saturn is winning and the next it feels like uranus will get its way.

Mind you I have DC in GEMINI with its ruler MERCURY RX in the 9th, I have always questioned all my romantic relationships even when deeply madly in love I would wonder if they were the right person for me and if I should end it, and it dawned on me today that this stems from my immigration experience and the disruption of my roots and attachment figures. I have always felt pulled into two different directions and this pattern carried over to the romantic relationships I enter into, I am always wondering if I made the right decision and always feeling pulled into two directions; this is a direct reflection of my immigration experience and how hard it was for me to let go of my roots and the experience of feeling split off between two worlds for so many years, second guessing for so long that I made the right "decision" moving here even though it was not my decision as I was 10 (but I was excited to move here so in that sense it felt like it was my decision).

Then you add that my father for about a decade lived half of the time in our home town and the other with us in the USA, not fully committing to being with his family full time, feeling split between his commitment to his family of origin and his commitment to us the family he created, also being pulled into two different directions. I feel experiencing this while also experiencing what I described earlier was more of a disruption to my psyche than I have ever realized until now.

Then you add that I did regret ending things with who I thought for a long time was the love of my life and me ending things with him was a trauma response bc he triggered unresolved trauma that I wasn't aware of at the time, years later I realized he triggered unresolved trauma involving my father. This is a decision I made I regretted that stemmed from unresolved trauma. Then I decided to move back to my home town after I ended it with him which was another decision that stemmed from unresolved past trauma related to my immigration experience.

I think I don't trust my ability to make decisions when it comes to important attachment figures which as an adult translates to romantic partners/committed relationships I enter so I stay stuck in over-analizing and weighing the pros and cons, worrying I will regret my decision so I don't make one.

Its interesting to see as I write it all down how much of my love life has been dictated by trauma responses from unresolved trauma. Is that VENUS conjunct MARS in the 8th for you with Mars ruling my 4th (roots)? or is that mercury ruling the 7th parallel pluto in the works?

I have been thinking of doing this ever since Uranus started in Tau. And perhaps this goes hand in hand with Tau being associated with land and buildings?

So since it is a property /something very valuable to me(Tau),the change of the external anď the internal reflects the energy of Uranus ?❤

I am personally not very amorous currently, I feel a little dead inside when it comes to romantic love tbh, I was just reflecting on this today and I concluded that having Tr URANUS in my 5th house with Tr SATURN squaring that could be why. Its like I am realist to a fault, I was thinking I want to have a healthy relationship were there is healthy communication dynamics, real intimacy and connection and I want to make it work with my husband or try again with my ex, the idea of going back out there and dating again and starting completely from scratch with anyone sounds super un-appealing and daunting to me. I think Tr saturn squaring tr Uranus in the 5th could be why I feel this way but even tr uranus in the 5th on its own made me more detached when it comes to romantic love but then you add tr saturn squaring that and it would seem I am just jaded I guess but to me I am being a realist and not seeing romantic love through rose colored glasses.

Dunno about the first question, but French Statistician scientist Michel Gauquelin, who set out to disprove astrology, but ended up finding support for it, found that Mars was above average highlighted (in or near the Angles) in the charts of athletes in general.

I hear you on the whole relationship/romance thing. With T. Saturn closely conjunct my Desc again, I've been feeling separative towards my partner and to people I feel closer too. Like I want to detach and be alone. Probably a temporary, fear based, pattern/cycle.

The issue is that I don't yet have the wherewithal I feel I should to just "get on with it" and get it done. And so I am waiting for Universal timing. I will feel it when I can go for it.

I am not sure to be honest. But the transit of Ura in Tau will not cross over until I have done it.

Ura is also opp natal Sat. So once again Sat is about structures. So the arc of Ura towards opposing Sat suggests structural changes as well.

Interesting how you described Saturn on your DC, feels like a dismissive attachment style triggered by transit.

With transit Saturn square Uranus it shows up like a fearful avoidant attachment style for me even though that is not my attachment style but with his addiction to minecraft and this transit happening, internally I want to move towards him and simultaneously away from him like a fearful avoidant style, is more like they fluctuate; sometimes I want to move towards him and sometimes away from him.

Interesting how the transits can also play a role in bringing out different attachment styles.

I am glad that Saturn and Uranus are separating, they are currently on a 4-5 degree orb, it will be a 6 degree orb on Feb 14th and the last week of February it will be a 7 degree orb square so by then influence should not be active.

As T. Saturn has been getting closer and closer to my Desc, I've been contemplating moving out and getting my own place.

I also hadn't listened to the hypnotic/suggestion recording, for awhile, that I use in relation to that other woman, but I got a bit drunk last night while out (rare for me), and between my anger/intolerance at my partner and at this woman, I came home and was like, "f her, I'm listening to this again, and want nothing to do with her". (T. Mars is also in my 5th House and starting to conjoin my N. Mercury, though at 7* away, it seems to far away for now to correlate to this).

Should I just accept that this is how the rest of my life is going to go!?

I just want to live my life...but then condo situation, getting covid, and now I have bad plantar fasciitis. I have all these fun activities planned with husband. And I keep trying to joining my friends gym.

I feel like sometimes I need to use reverse psychology with the universe so more things go MY WAY!!

A couple of my random transits are....
Sun trine rising
Lilith rx oppose Neptune. (anything rx involving Neptune seems to be awful for me)
Sun square Mercury

I also know I am dealing with Saturn square Moon transit. As it gets to the climax I might feel completely defeated.

For me, it's my partner's addiction to dating that is becoming annoying. She's been going on a lot of dates of late, and is neglecting the house and chores that we both do, but I feel like I've been doing the lion's share (since she has "such a lack of time", well yeah, but you have enough time/energy to go on dates).

---

BINGO! Is nice to read bc I can relate for sure.

Like I was just thinking last night, I just want him to at least keep up with the house and just basic stuff without me having to remind him to follow up with every little thing (this is getting annoying), I noticed how good it feels when he starts to get something done and thought to myself how much the acts of service piece has meant for me over the years, his love language has been quality time and acts of service all these years and that has kept me happy enough for sure, is why I have stayed even though I am big on physical touch as a love language.

Lately with his addiction to minecraft quality time and acts of service are not been delivered in the quality they have been in the past, bare minimum is his new life motto LOL. I have been communicating all this to him and he actually has at least stayed quiet and is listening without becoming reactive 90%, he is making a bit of an effort (small) but we are not out of the woods for sure, its almost frustrating when he makes an effort bc it lasts a little and then he is back to dissociating with the game which again reinforces this fearful avoidant attachment style he is bringing out of me lately since it gets my hopes up and we then go back to square 1 so to speak.

In truth, I'm less angry at her, but more angry at myself and at the possible delusion that is involved, in hoping that we may reconcile/reunite one day.

I know he doesn't want to lose me so that is why I think I could do something like that, I also think just leave him for a year..but ultimately I would prefer he just snaps out of it, I am just asking for a little bit of mindfulness and presence for the love of god LOL

YEP, and yes, that seems more balanced and reasonable than completely disconnecting permanently and for good. Sometimes people do need reminders of what they have vs what they don't, to better appreciate what they do have.

I have noticed that when I have done long backpacking trips (like a month or so) and go without everyday societal conveniences and amenities that we tend to take for granted, that when I come back, I tend to be more conscious to and appreciative of those conveniences/amenities. (like climate control, showers, big and complex meals, etc).
