When I came to LL, I decided that I wanted you to know me. I dropped my mask of "perfection" to the best of my ability. Instead of being hated, I was loved.Now, I am in the next stage of trying to be more real with the deep well of stuff that is inside I have a whole mess of "bad",inside, like Chinese food too mixed up Last night, I got angry at someone and freaked out that the person would not like me anymore lol I have to force myself to be more real at this next stage. There are so many parts of me that I find unacceptable. Anger is just one. However,I am gonna force myself to be "real" about it as well as real about the other emotions/passions swirling inside. ------------------ If I am not for myself, who am I?

Hi Ami I totally get this! Sometimes when you don't own something it is magnified a thousand times over! Like I consider myself to be a peace-loving person. I don't like confrontation or aggressive people and yet I can be a surprisingly angry person... especially in relationships. My 7th house is in Aries.Anger has always had negative associations as well as competition, so it's something that I repressed in myself... but then when someone challenges me or makes me feel angry it's like a volcanic erruption, the lid is flipped and it all comes out in one go. It's difficult to know how to express negative traits appropriately and especially if you have had bad experiences of other people's anger and negative stuff. Well-intentioned people can actually come across so negatively to others because their good intentions are masking real feelings? IP: Logged |

Well since the 7th house is about the other person it is also about the qualities that you project onto the person and in other words, deny of yourself.Taurus in the 7th house and Venus in the 7th house suggests you might look for a sensual, sexual and attractive partner but you might want these qualities to be exclusive to your partner not cultivate it or own it in yourself. Communication with your partner too might be difficult because you expect them to be the communicators and prefer having someone who can bring that side out of you. IP: Logged |

What aspects and position is your Mars, Moon and Saturn in? I have a feeling there is some sort of anger or emotional repression shown in these aspects because it doesn't show in the 7th house.IP: Logged |

THANK YOU Quinnie for taking the time to help me. I feel like a powder keg of emotional repression I have an 8th house stellium--Gem Sun,Gem Merc and Cancer moon. The Gem Sun and Merc trine Neptune in the 12 house. I have Pluto conjunct the MC which sextiles the Sun and Merc. I have no squares,except a generational one and no oppositions. I know you asked about Moon, Mars and Saturn My Moon is almost unaspected( 8 degree conjunction with Mars) It FEELS unaspected ,to me, in many ways. I feel very fragile but ,perhaps, it is not innate but just life circumstances ,say,for the past few decades Mars has good aspects--a trine to Saturn in the 1st house. Saturn is conjunct the ASC but has the trine with Mars. I am not including Quincunxs and other more minor aspects. I would have to check for those. I feel that my moon is a key in my problems. I need to overcome the fragile feeling,I think. Please, tell me what you think and AGAIN, Thank you!!!! ------------------ The human heart is wicked above all things. Who can know it? IP: Logged |

About the anger, I want to say as a fellow Plutonian , that there's a difference between aggressiveness and assertion. Not to assume, but it seems you're afraid of the aggressiveness as you're a sensitive. Scorpio/Pluto tends to hold on and then erupt, Taurus your opposite from what I've seen doesnt erupt, they are forward with what theyre experiencing, in many ways, yes their anger can be like an earthquake if very riled, but it's usually about a cause that invokes their passion. If I remember correctly you have Cancer Mars, and I'm thinking back on others I know with that placement and their struggle is similar. I think healthy assertion and self respect (and also self knowledge) can go a very long way toward dealing with overwhelming anger. From what I've seen people either didn't grow up in a home where they were taught about healthy assertion, or (and I see this a lot) they get caught up with still being the child whose needs were frustrated time and again and now as an adult are still acting in the same manner, and their action is a reaction, it's not proactive. I get stuck in this mold too sometimes so I get it. And for me staying clear of my objectives and what is meaningful to me alleviates a lot of that. Another one is to pick my battles, if you're a Plutonian you get this Some things are just not worth your energy and some people will never get what you want to tell them no matter how badly you want them to. I read over the thread that was locked and you mentioned about needing to feel that the message is coming from someone who cares, and that is so relevant, because the rest of it is just noise. . . . And I just wanted to comment on the astrology of a 7th house Taurus for a Scorpio Riser, The 7th for Scorpio is a security-based need, Scorpio rising needs that safe container that a Taurus energy person could provide to feel they can let out their energy. Ami you saw what I wrote on astro 2.0 about Scorpio Suns and you commented, this is basically the same idea. Taurus is stubborn but they don't leave, they stay and weather the storm, and this gives security to the painfully sensitive and deep feeling Scorp riser, who needs loyalty & a place to just be and feel what they're feeling, because it can get to be overwhelming, and when it overwhelms they start to feel as if they're losing control and Scorp rising loves control. But in keeping with the 7th it's also a house of projection. When we fall in love we only see the image of ourselves as reflected in another. If you can fall in love with this trait in another, and this goes for anyone's 7th (or its ruler), "Can you be strong enough to fall in love with that image in yourself." For Scorp rising, can you own your own home and cultivate self worth, hard earned, and do it just for you. Can you stay in a safe place and weather your own storm and come out OK on the other side, or are you always looking for that earthy container. When you start embodying that image it looses it's fascination and you are more centered in yourself, if you don't it holds sway and controls you because you feel as if you need it to be whole. I don't believe h7, etc. is ever completely owned, but we can work a very long way in acquiring it and navigating away from some of its downfalls. . . . Also, Have you heard of the author David Richo? He has a title 'How to Be an Adult: A Handbook for Psychological and Spiritual Integration' -- it's VERY DEEP and I think you'd love it really cos you can delve in there and you're open to change. A lot of people can't as it speaks too many truths. It's a small book but it takes some time to get through as it's so powerful. I recommend it to you because you're open, psychologically oriented, spiritually aware. Despite the seemingly offensive title, I would not recommend this to someone who I didn't hold in good esteem. Here's a review from LibraryJournal, quote: Richo uses the metaphor of the heroic journey to describe the process toward psychological and spiritual maturity. First he discusses "personal work" and the three challenges to adulthood: fear, anger, and guilt, as well as the self-esteem that comes from meeting those challenges. Then he discusses relationships and the dual problem of maintaining personal boundaries and establishing appropriate intimacy. Finally, he discusses the techniques of integration: flexibility, befriending the shadow, using dreams, and developing spirituality through openness to the self and unconditional love. This guide contains useful quotations, summary reflections, and affirmations, as well as other techniques that give concrete advice on the process of growth.
I can't get enough of Jung! I don't really tell a lot of people about it cos you have to be a certain type to really get it, because we grow from open-minded children to close-minded adults, but I definitely think you would. IP: Logged |

Ami and Lonake, I will be back to comment more but just wanted to add quickly... As a peace-lovign Libran I fins it difficult to accept those aspects of myself and especially anger, but I do come across as angry to some. I rememmber hearing someone comment on John Lennon, that for someone to be such a peaceful activist he had quite an aggressive or asseritve persona... The key word here though is ACTIVIST... He did things and being an open human being, his emotions came out. It's difficult NOT to show anger when you are a caring person, perhaps this is the conflict when you see things that make you feel angry.Ami I share with you.. Pluto influence Pluto is in my first house...I'm owning it But my Moon is the same as yours ....a nice trine to Saturn and sextile to Mars The thing about Saturn/Moon aspects in a natal is that even though it's an easy aspect , the energies are in conflict so it is NOT an easy aspect to live with. Be back later IP: Logged |

I take a long time to anger and an even longer time to express it. Mars in Taurus in 2nd, trines Pluto and squares Moon. Not many things bother me. Certainly less than used to. I think that's the Aqua Moon - distance, objectivity. I use anger as fuel. When someone says I can't, I go and do. It fuels me to achieve. When I was younger I used it as "I'll show you". Now I only use it when for things that I want to do, that mean something to me. Last year our class had to partke in a counselling session because there were issues and I was described as "driven". I think it was intended otherwise, but I took it as a compliment. That's where I channel my anger - that energy - it gets things done.IP: Logged |

I am moved that you ladies wrote to me---Lonake, Peace Angel and Quinnie I felt like such a failure,losing my cool and disintegrating. Then,I find balms in the form of sweet words and support. Thank you, AG, a foxhole kind of a guy lol I have been numb for a long time as you all know. In that state of numb, I never ventured out with any state that was not scripted or "perfect". By perfect, I mean, I lived a robotic life. I never got dirty with the types of things I have gotten dirty with here. By dirty, I am sure you know I mean"flawed", looking "dumb", ridiculous,etc---in a variety of ways My point is that because I was so programmed and rigid, I NEVER had anyone comfort me either when I fell cuz I never fell. I never soared and I never fell. I feel different ,now. I gave up my basic faith in humanity,last night,in some deep way. I got a little harder, which I should, but not TOO hard. Maybe, that is everyone's balance. I bet it is. Thank you,Lonake, Peace Angel , Quinnie and AG for your words, your wisdom. I can receive it in the spirit in which it was given i.e.LOVE PS You are a stand up kind of Girl, Abs. Thank you. I would want you next to me in a foxhole, too. You got character. I admire that and aspire to that!

Dear Lonake You had it totally right. I am afraid of my OWN aggressiveness--that is it. I am scared to death of it. I had to suppress it cuz if it came out,I could have KILLED my mother,I am sure. Hmmmmmm----that is the thrown away part of myself,I think. Thank you for that insight. I will start a new thread on that. I told you I was gonna have a series ------------------ It is either a lesson or a builder of intestinal fortitude,Bruh. IP: Logged |

My favourite thing about being human is that we're not perfect, and not meant to be. If we were "perfect" as such, there'd be no need to be humans and experience life in this form. That's my take on it.I love my "imperfections" because they allow me to accept them in other people - otherwise I'd be hypocritical. And I love the imperfections in other people because I hope that in recognising their own, they'll allow me the same consideration of human frailty and strength and non-judgement that they would like to be given themselves.
