My best friend of around 5 years is distancing herself from me. I’m so confused and I need some insight on why... we’ve always had a very deep emotional connection, but also there’s always been lots of laughter, very supportive and trusting.
I’ve just moved abroad. We had a slight falling out about 2 months ago. I was going through such a rough time and I needed her but i think she felt burdened by me and that I wasn’t able to be there for her, even though I was only just able to keep my head above water. I was struggling really hard with my emotions. I then went into my own space and process for two weeks where I hardly talked to anyone. I just wanted alone time. But I’m not sure she understood that. We then spoke about it and patched things up, hung out and had a great time together. This was when I was visiting my home land for around 5 weeks before officially moving. Now I’ve officially moved and it’s been a month. We had been communicating and I was expressing to her how grateful I was to have her in my life. We had made a time to FaceTime but I got the date wrong (thought it was a day later) and she apologized for not calling because was busy with her kids. So I apologized and laughed off the fact that we both had our reasons. We’ve always been able to laugh together. But she ignored my message (very unlike her). I then asked if we could make another time. She was so short with me. Said she was busy “hope you’re well” etc. I knew she was backing away. I sent her a voice text expressing how I felt she was backing away and that I didn’t want to lose her. I was very emotional. That was 2 weeks ago. I sent another one. Hasn’t even opened my message. I feel so rejected. I don’t understand what’s happened.. so I thought maybe the answer is in the charts ?!
I can see that tUranus is approaching our composite sun 😔
T.O.B is pretty much correct. Hers might be off by 10 mins or so but definitely a sag rising.

I don't have enough time right more for more than a cursory comment.but the transiting node was square the comp moon in middle may and the node has been conjunct the comp pluto and will be exact conjunct in early aug. this is most likely why a distance has developed, but I will look deeper into it tomororow .

I'm thinking that transiting Saturn opposite the composite Moon would indicate this cooling off period? Maybe when Saturn switches signs (because in late Capricorn it will also square your composite Mercury probably leading to even more of a lack of communication) it might be a good time to reach out to her and see if the break between you both was well needed?

Relocation abroad. WOW!!

And did you know that your relocation actually shows in your chart? Solar Arc Neptune arcs to conjunct the Ic at age 41

Solar Arc Moon in Virgo arcs to square Jupiter in Cancer at age 41.

Jupiter aspect to Moon often coincides with feeling restlessness and wanting to expand. This includes moving or changing(Jupiter) ones environment(Moon).

Neptune may coincide with feeling wipe-outs, isolation and abandoned. Perhaps this solar arc progression is heightening your sensitivity to subtle energies which are right now affecting your emotional state(Ic)?

Plus you have Sun/Mercury opp Neptune natally. I feel your pain. This increases a need to seek out solitude to recuperate and prevent yourself from feeling drained.

There is some Neptune action currently happening with you right now. This could be increasing the feeling of insecurity and feeling abandoned:new home, new country etc. It is jarring and feels unfamiliar. So it can increase the feelings of estrangement.

Trans Nep 18 degrees Pisces in retrograde motion is on Sun 20 Gem/Moon 18 Gem.

Trans Jupiter at 14 degrees is also widely square natal Sun/Moon and Neptune. It expands how you feel for better or worse.

Your friend is likely facing her own troubles. Interestingly her Sat/Nep in Virgo aspects your Sun/Mer. Hmmm. Perhaps she was also the grounding influence for you

Neptune is squaring her natal Asc/Nep/Sat.
Pluto is squaring natal Pluto
Saturn is squaring her Solar Arc Merc/Moon & Jup

All i can say is that at the moment, you will have to be a little more self-reliant or hold somebody else closer.

She could.be feeling your "neediness" too much and she herself may be drained.The timing for the connections could be off.

Things are not gelling the way they used to and this increases the feelings of being distant from each other.

Friendships that are long-standing go through peaks and troughs. And this could very well the latter. Don't feel a need to force conditions to remain "as is", let things evolve and change. Its inevitable.

Give it time though. Good friendships seldom just die.

I noticed a pattern in friendships between Aries and Gemini. Suddenly things end.

I feel like the pull you had towards her and why you both became friends was fated. You have SN and Sun contact. As well as both sides have NN and planets contact.

Sometimes SN contact can feel draining and hold people back. Both people involved or one person.

Some friendships need constant presence. Some people need you there to be involved and putting the efforts. its like a relationship some people can not do long distance. Just like you said she has kids. And she can be very busy too. Long distance requires hard work. Just stay in touch with her and give her space. Sag people appreciate their own space to think things over. Also they appreciate a talk from the heart. I would mail to her a gift with a note. To show that you are willing to make the effort. sometimes people show up to teach us things then the lesson ends and things end. especially with node aspects.

I didn't see that. You may be right. That's going to be a while though huh... I feel so ghosted right now.

Crazy that the astrology seems so spot on with my relocating ha! I just needed a change, a new environment and new people. And it happened only a few days after my 41st birthday lol.

You're right though...she grounded me a lot. I think with my SN on her sun maybe I just drained her too much at this point in her life, without intending to of course I was really trying to survive the emotional turmoil I was feeling.
Neptune is causing all sorts of fun yes. I'm feeling like at the moment people are dropping away like flies. I'm looking at them differently, wondering if I really wanna be hanging out with 24 years olds right now....I've always had younger friends but being in a new city with these hollywood dreamers, it's a bit hmmm....too fake..
That's why I miss her so much too. She's always been one of the mot authentic people in my life. So selfless like me. We were always there for one another at the drop of a hat.

When do you think Neptune might be steering away from making me feel this way?

My other bff is an aries. We give each other loads of space. We've been friends even longer and whenever we come back together things were just the same as they've always been. Not sure....hopefully she wasn't just a butterfly fluttering in and out of my life. I'll continue to like her posts and send her love. Thanks for your input

woahh, i thought you were my friend posting about our relationship at first! but neither of us has kids or face time.
funny i'm distancing myself and have a 20 sag sun, close to your friend's ASC. all i can say is i needed to end things abruptly because otherwise she would really never change. i feel guilty because, like you, she was going through a hard time, but she's been going through a hard time for years now, and the relationship is really one sided with me as her surrogate therapist and i can't handle any of that in my life anymore. it reminds me a lot of my relationship with my own mother, actually. which was toxic. not saying this applies to you, but that's what i'm going through as a sag (neptune is also squaring those degrees of sag right now)

my friend has a cancer rising conjunct your venus, a hard neptune-sun aspect, a leo mars and a scorpio moon conjunct pluto. we have a grand cross in composite that tends to repeat the same issues over and over again. it was time for me to get past that energy in my life.

you guys have some moon issues in the composite too, and a venus-neptune opposition with your friend symbolizing neptune and you as the venus, you probably idealize her and could be frequently disappointed by her because she's actually not who you want her to be. or it seems like she is and then she lets you down right when it seems like everything is going perfectly. your moon-pluto square has you symbolizing moon and her pluto. i'm not doubting your love for each other but she could feel an unrelenting pressure to make you happy and not have the energy for it at this time in her life.

in my case my friend keeps pressuring me to contact her which makes me continue to need more space, because i feel she isn't respecting this need and doesn't care that i need space, just wants to pretend like nothing's wrong and keep our toxic patterns. but you guys don't have the same grand cross that we do so it's probably less of a permanent toxic scenario. she'll probably come back just give it time. you have the mars square uranus and sun opposite uranus in the composite after all, there has to be room for freedom or disruptions will ensue.

i hope this doesn't seem like i'm lecturing you, i just want to give input on how your friend might feel with that sag energy squaring neptune in the sky. sometimes separation is actually what needs to happen for your friendship to grow and for you guys to grow as individuals

I think that this estrangement is momentarily as the pluto/moon midpoint is at 3 virgo 2 and the composite mars/Saturn midpoint is at 3virgo36. so as the node moves off this composite moon/pluto square, the realtiohsip will rebound.

your natures are very different as hers is characterized by her mars/Uranus square and Neptune Saturn square so she might be quick to take offense or feel slighted.
where as you are characterized by your mars/Saturn conjunct and might take the separation deeper.

there are similarities between you because you also have Uranus on your ascendant but her urnaus is a bit more primed to react against a offense than you are.

the composite has a couple of favorable trine sextiles ,so I suggest you let time heal this separation and don't make it a big issue for now.

No it’s ok, you’re not lecturing me. This was helpful. I know that our dynamic probably needs to evolve. I commented on her post the other day and she ‘loved’ it so I think there’s still a connection of some sort that she wants there. Probably just need some breathing space to rebalance the relationship.

Thanks Todd.
You’re spot on about her quick reactions and feeling offense. This is so her. Sometimes I feel like I’m walking on eggshells with my words. It’s like if I’m not careful I have the ability to hurt her deeply without even knowing it. I can be direct at times and I need to be careful with that.
That moon/Pluto midpoint is Conjunct my natal moon. Interesting...
Glad you think it will rebound ❤️
