I noticed I felt energized by the last client I saw today and that it felt nice to interact with her. It got me thinking, some clients I feel drain me and some energize me and I started to wonder about the astrology behind it.

I checked her chart and her JUPITER in ARIES trines my Mars in LEO! BINGO She also has sun conjunct mars natally in addition to jupiter in aries so perhaps she is an energetic person and my moon in pisces absorbed some of it.

My JUPITER conjunct Uranus which rules my chart squares her Mars, I hope she felt energized too, I know she left happy and wanted to hug me, I shook her hand.

In composite we have moon conjunct jupiter, venus conjunct mars and sun conjunct mercury so that can explain why we felt so comfortable.

I have another client that I like but I tend to feel drained with her, her venus conjuncts my sun and we have mercury conjunct mercury, she has saturn falling in my 1H perhaps that is why I feel drained around her! ?? In composite we have MARS conjunct JUPITER exact which surprised me but Mars conjunct Jupiter exact is squaring SATURN!!!!!!!! BINGO She I believe has moon conjunct saturn so my moon in pisces may also be absorbing this.

Anyhoo, thoughts? what has been your experience around this...

I often feel drained by this friend of mine. While she’s relatively ok with me, she tends to get into conflict with the people around me, even with my friends and boyfriend.

Our Moons are in quincunx signs (I’m Sag, she’s Cancer), same as our Mars (I’m Pisces, she’s Libra). Her Saturn/Pluto quincunx my Mars, her Neptune square my Mars. My Saturn square her Mars, Mercury quincunx her Mars, Pluto conjunct her Mars.

I’m thinking it may be our incompatible Moon/Mars by signs and aspects that caused these tension.

I feel very energized by my best friend. She just gives me good vibes and we always do fun stuff. She gets my passive earth *ss out of the house. Her Aquarius JUPITER square my Taurus VENUS and her Libra URANUS square my Cancer MARS. Her Aries SUN conjunct my DSC.

I have a friend who drains me like no one else. She is a sweetheart and I think she's a great person, but every time we interact I feel tired or something wrong happens around me. I need to look into her chart, but I know she's a Gemini Sun.

I also have this coworker who's a great guy and very friendly, but I also feel tired around him. He's another Gemini Sun.

I love this, her uranus in libra squares your mars in cancer and she gets you out of the house! that sounds about right

Interesting the quincux theme you have with her, the mars inconjunct mars in combo with moon inconjunct moon may be why you feel drained, maybe this ongoing pattern of having to readjust yourself to be in sync is why you feel drained with her.

I don't think just having gemini sun is why but a lot of geminis struggle with anxiety and anxiety makes you feel drained, let us know what you figure out synastry wise once you check out their charts.

I wonder if my Gemini house three is why I get drained, as you say Hypatia. It's the sister sign Aqua in my chart but I do get that "tapped out feeling" from several other's.

My response may not be of much help. idk.
I thought it was an empath situation. For many of those that this, I have no dob or anything to see the evidence in the synastry.
My mum has Earth Moon, an old friend too and both exhaust me to no end. My mum does this to herself too. I think because she has a lot of both Gem/Sag in her chart. That opposition is strong.


Earth Sun signs did this to me a lot in my single days. Funny my husband is less Earth than other's I dated. Earth can trap air. Maybe that was it with them. My husband is a lot of fire. He doesn't drain me, we do our own thing and our fires combine when there's complete balance.


Though Gem is the opposite to my asc, it never felt they drained me. I think of the other Air signs, Gems with me, it was invigorating to talk them and just be around eachother. That might be because my Luminaries and Venus is in their house too.

One past BF of mine has a Pisces Sun. He overwhelmed me but I think because he was struggling with addiction. I can't say it was him as opposed to his illness.

Virgo is the exception to the Earthly energy I mentioned. Most of the time. Virgo felt less draining. (Mercury might be why) I'm only able to see (most) these people from my past as far as their Sun's.

Taurus and Gemini drains me a lot. Which I guess makes sense since I am Pisces/Aquarius heavy.

I think I usually feel energized by Virgo. They really make me want to be more responsible and focus.

I also really like Pisces energy, especially moons. I feel like it's so easy and comfortable to talk to them and I can really relate to them on a deeper level, or they understand me better.

Oh and Cancer! Cancer moons especially gosh they make me laugh sooo much and they bring out my funny side, which I only seem to have around them its strange.

Sag placements as well can also drain me. I always feel so insecure around them and like I just cant open up.

I had a Sagittarius Leo moon friend and I felt like I had to put on another persona around her or I would annoy her. I couldn't joke around with her or relate to her at all. Like we had nothing in common. To keep our friendship I had to have my Gemini sister hang out with us to make it less awkward.

People who drain me energy are often Gemini, too much talkative to say nothing, pretending to know everything about anything when they don't, with false neutral and scientific behavior... Bullsh*t. They're bluffing.
The Sagittarius drain me energy too as if they need to jump and bounce like children. Too enthusiastic. It's tiring... And they think they are the embodiment of moral and virtue like a knight in armor while they are often intolerant about political subjects.

People that energize me ? Earth signs, because they understand the complexity of the world. And water signs make me laugh.

I specify I'm Virgo sun with Scorpio moon (conjunct Pluto) and Scorpio ascendant.
Neutrality is a lure.

Leo moons drain me energy too. Real drama queens, unable to listen someone until they finish their sentence. They're always talking about themselves, using their pseudo-experience of life to give you lessons... Yes, they like hearing themselves and don't give a s***t about you.

This is interesting. I'm a Taurus Sun with Scorpio Moon conjunct Pluto (and the Moon is my chart ruler).

I do like Geminis but I often feel tired around them, as I said above. I don't think it's just the sun sign ofc, but there's something about Gemini energy that is just... too much for me.

I also relate to what you said about how people who are "too enthusiastic" are tiresome. To me, they are. I may even like someone, but if they're too jumpy or too talkative, I get SO TIRED. It's almost a physical thing.

I don't feel energetic but drained in contact with most people. I don't know if it's because of Synastry or Natal placements.... 🤔

You are both energy sensitive and an introvert. Introverts get energy from within, and especially when alone.

People with very strong Gemini, "tend" to be at least mildly extroverted, to very extroverted in attunement.

Extroverts get their energy from other people. They tend to soak up/absorb it from others. Especially from introverts, who tend to share or give their energy out to others.

Hence why you feel especially drained around very extroverted people.

I'm also both energy sensitive and an introvert who tends to give/share my energy with others, and I've noticed the same exact thing, especially when interacting with more extroverted people.

Back in the day, when I used to go to Malls occasionally, I would feel super tired/drained by the end. Combo of hyper stimulation with being energy sensitive. I like to people watch and I naturally tune into people on deeper levels, but the combo of the two, really drained me.

There are ways to deal with this btw. The Monroe Institute has an excellent visualization/intention tool called the REBAL, which stands for resonant energy balloon. Basically it's a protective, psychic/energetic shield you put around yourself that only allows in energy you want, and keeps everything else out. The more you practice and use it, the better and more effectively it works.

I've noticed that over/very serious people tend to have ego issues. Either too much or too sensitive of an ego. Often a Saturn, Pluto, and/or Mars thing.

I'm speaking from experience. During my childhood, I was more Saturian and Uranian attuned (Moon conjunct Saturn and Uranus in the 4th). I was very, very, very serious and intense. Sun, ruler of the chart, in Capricorn square Pluto ruler of the IC certainly didn't help none.

But, as I got more attuned to spiritual Love, and started working on my issues and imbalances more, I started to become lighter and lighter in energy, mood, etc. I started to become my true/deeper Jupitarian self more and more (retrograding back into the 1st, very closely trine its Sign ruler Mercury, conjunct ruler of the IC and 9th, trine the Sun also the chart ruler).

I still have a very serious and very intense side, but I also have a light, humorous, joyous side. And when I'm not going through a lot of testing, challenge, etc, I lean more to the latter all in all.

hahahahaha

I mean you sound judgemental actually but love you shared how you feel, thanks for being authentic.

I am a virgo with mercury in virgo with moon in pisces and saggy rising with southnode and chart ruler in saggy and venus conjunct mars in leo trine AC and can be enthusiastic, warm, passionate, in love with life despite how hard it can be but definitely agree the world is not black and white and politics and life is complex and I also feel people are easy to manipulate with emotional appeal and find this frustrating.

I definitely don't think I am the embodiment of moral virtue . I am always saying I have flaws and am aware of my own shadow side and everyone has flaws and a shadow side, humility is a beautiful thing truly, I wish I was more humble, so I try to stay humble while also embracing the beautiful complex being that I am and accepting myself as I am.

My husband is very talkative and is a big reason why I ended up with him as he is intellectually stimulating but I also find it annoying, his chart ruler is in LEO.

Yet when I talk to capricorns or virgos who are deep thinkers I find it intellectually stimulating and I don't find them annoying but I think my husband at times talks about things that don't interest me and he can go on and on so hence the frustration, a lot of capricorns love psychology like me so we enjoy talking about that stuff together.

I should also add my husband makes me laugh a lot too which is part of the reason I ended up with him, his chart ruler is venus in leo in mutual reception to his sun in libra and has mercury sextile venus, I did like his voice when I heard it over the phone.

I just had 4 sessions back to back and all were pretty depressed and I feel super drained, lord jesus help us all LOL. My moon in pisces really absorbed that last session specially like WOW

Maybe synastry plays a role but also the person and how evolved they are, depression leads to fatigue and lack of motivation and low energy and my moon in pisces feels the hell out of it.

Yes ultimately you have to connect with that lighter less serious side and nourish it or you will be prone to depression and live in depression, I have learned you cannot take life too seriously, taking life too seriously will rob you of your peace and joy and if you are going to be in this beautiful planet for the short time you are here, you might as well try to enjoy it as much as you can and create stimulating experiences for yourself, as well as work in personal growth, you might as well make something of your time here bc pain and suffering is unavoidable but is also up to you to try to create meaning out of your time here and try to create good memories that hopefully out weight the bad ones.

I think so! Actually rising sign in sag Im okay with, but more with Sag moons. I find I dont get along well with them.
Actually the interactions Ive had with you on here Ive enjoyed! Pisces moon definitely overshadows everything else. Even though I mentioned sags, Im quite fond of these two guys who are sag with pisces moons (: I attribute that to their pisces moons lol
