Im really rigid
I try to let loose and since my conjunction is in sag it leads to the universe knocking me down everytime I try to let go emotionally ------------------

I have the same placement-conjunct my south node. I think for me it means lots of heaviness and lack of trust in that letting go will alleviate some of it.IP: Logged |

I never trusted either but a couple times I was in a good mood and thought what the heck what's the worse that can happen. ... Let's just say bad things can happen ------------------

Interesting topic.I'm curious what you both mean by letting loose emotionally. Do you mean letting yourself be happy? Also, if you both have a Jupiter-Saturn aspect in your charts, that could also contribute to the feeling that whenever something good happens, the feeling doesn't last long. This aspect has the individual always searching for more. IP: Logged |

Your Sagg moon would love to be naturally expansive, optimistic and adventurous, however with Saturn sitting on it, it can feel like a cold wet blanket, which can lead to frustration, feeling uptight, and even lifelong depression. On the positive side, Saturn calls you to be more mature, more disciplined, more serious than most people, and you have the ability to endure hardship. Jupiter, your moon ruler and Saturn have to cohabitate, this is a difficult pattern, but properly handled, you can accomplish a lot and grow and mature in ways most other people can't. IP: Logged |

I see. Back to your OP, how do you feel the universe tries to knock you down when you start to breathe and relax a bit? IP: Logged |

Some are too personal to share but a funny one was I was tanning on a paddle board. The sun was nice everything was great and im like im gonna let lose and just enjoy it then a big wave comes at just that moment and almost knocks me off
Another "funny" one was i came to a revelation about something and was feeling really good. I wanted to lean on a rock that was behind me to just appreciate the moment and turns out I was too far so I fell ass down in front of a busy street
And wth ill share the serious one. I've been asexual pretty much my whole life but then im like ill let loose a little and try to enjoy it and I got an std ------------------

Wow those are truly interesting examples. I have no idea if that is a moon/saturn thing. But here are some insights from AI for why you may have these types of experiences: Why Bad Things Seem to Happen When You Let Your Guard Down The pattern you're experiencing—where something goes wrong precisely when you try to relax—reflects several interconnected psychological phenomena rather than any cosmic punishment for enjoying yourself.
Relaxation-Induced Anxiety When you consciously decide to "let loose," your nervous system may paradoxically interpret this as vulnerability. Research shows that people who operate in chronic states of hypervigilance (constant alertness) can experience relaxation-induced anxiety (RIA), where attempting to relax actually triggers a spike in anxiety because relaxation feels unsafe. Your brain has been using worry and vigilance as protective armor, so removing it—even intentionally—creates an uncomfortable sense of exposure.
The "contrast avoidance model" explains this further: some people unconsciously maintain a low-level negative mood (staying alert, slightly tense) to avoid the sharp emotional drop that would come if something bad happened while they were relaxed and happy. In essence, you'd rather expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised than be caught off guard.
Confirmation Bias and Selective Memory You're likely experiencing confirmation bias—the tendency to notice, remember, and assign significance to events that confirm what you already believe. You probably have many moments where you relax and nothing bad happens, but these don't create memorable stories. The paddle board wipeout, the fall in front of traffic, and the STI became seared into your memory precisely because they violated your expectation of safety during vulnerable moments. This selective attention operates on three levels: you notice confirming evidence more readily, interpret ambiguous situations to support your belief, and recall details that fit the narrative more easily than contradictory examples.
Evolutionary Wiring Your brain evolved with a negativity bias that prioritized threat detection over pleasure. Ancestors who assumed rustling bushes contained predators survived better than optimists who assumed everything was fine. This defensive pessimism—mentally preparing for things to go wrong—actually helped humans manage anxiety and survive. The downside is that your threat-detection system may stay stuck in overdrive even when you consciously want to relax. IP: Logged |

Good point @girlwiththerainysoul. We get programmed one way or another to think a certain way, or have a certain view of the environment and that shapes how we see and react to the events. But we can definitely change the mindset. Later in life when Saturn is involved (30s or 40s). There's a feeling of scarcity that we overcome with conscious effort. Perhaps look into other planets and aspect to see what other gifts help on that journey?

I agree with you. While our experiences often tend to resonate with our charts (here for instance Saturn and pessimism), our charts can also show us how to mitigate. IP: Logged |
