The scene this was used in for Kill Bill, a little girl's parents were murdered with her hiding under the bed, and just listening to this song gets me man! Especially at about 1:55 onward 'cause that's when her mother was done in.

Deep down, I'm capable of being (and tend to be) rather callous and cold, but also some things just really get me emotional too.

I've gotten close to a couple of homeless teens in the past and use to help them out but they disappeared....

And I'm not certain how much is empathy, and how much is imagination, that is a lot of people who appear not to have empathy just instead lack imagination. I don't feel like explaining the difference so if I'm not understood on that then oh well, maybe I'll feel like explaining it later.

Some are more affected than others... For instance a poster here opened up about being hurt by something - and I had known previously that she was hurt in this way (before she even talked about it) - and the extent to which she is hurt and angry at everything (at all times) - makes it difficult for me to even read her posts.. I feel like throwing up.

So yeah - my empathy levels are beyond horrible :\

I can relate to what Odette said, and I totally agree with T about having to ground yourself. I learned first hand how other people's energies can physically make you sick. Last summer I went on a family vacation with my now ex in-laws. They are codependent, alcoholics, married over 40 years with domestic violence going both ways. They walk into the room, and it's like getting sucked into a black hole of negativity. I tried to tune them out, and everyone was wondering why I kept hanging out in the bathroom and going for walks by myself. By the end of the vacation, I was covered from head to toe in a rash, and I ended up having a flare up of an existing autoimmune disease. Not only was I covered in skin lesions from my face to my feet, I also had severe inflammation of the blood vessels which caused burst blood vessels all over my lower body. This is after being in remission for almost 5 years. When I went to my doctor, he said "I was going to ask you if you had been under extreme stress, but since you just went on vacation, I guess that's a dumb question."

It was at that moment, that I realized that my abilities to take on these energies didn't just affect me emotionally, but the emotional stress can manifest physically as well. Unfortunately my ex is a Cancer, and no matter how insanely f*ed up his family is...they are family, and he refused to establish any form of healthy boundaries with them. Ugh, just reliving the situation has my blood pressure rising.

I have learned to put up a "force field" around myself to block out the negative energy and only take in the positive energy. It's pretty effective, but some people are just toxic and should be avoided at all costs.

Your energy body is conjunct Chiron but the degree of orb is wide so you are fortunate it was not exact. Then, it would be very, very hard.

Your energy body is very linked up with your own Chiron wound.

This must make you empathetic, in that way i.e you feel pain in your body and you do.

It is your energy body.

In which house is your Chiron?

Karka has this too, I think. Hers is more exact though

Sagittarius on 2nd House Cusp. I also pick up on people's health issues but I can feel money troubles or concerns coming in waves from a person-it feels almost palpable at times. Also people open right up to me and start telling me stuff that is so personal I get embarrassed or disconcerted especially from strangers. My friends are always saying well you have that kind of face people just want to open up and tell you stuff.

Here's an example.

Last year, I went to a party at my friend's house. I was the last one to arrive. Everyone seemed to be fine, but something was "off." Nobody said anything about it, but that just made it weirder.

I went home and cried. I told my husband that I had no idea what I was crying about, then called my best friend to complain (she's a Pisces, she understands) that I just soaked up something bad and couldn't shake it or figure out what it was.

Later, I learned that two of my very dear friends had an intense blow-out at the party, before I got there. One of them, a Cap sun, was heartbroken over this for months. The other, a Cap moon, never did talk to me about it.

Oh and the moon is in Pisces right now, good time to think on these things.

Edit:

@freebrainstorms & bluejay, do you attribute your empathy to anything in your chart?
