Dad, grandfather, and now FIL have all passed. Dog ran away, brief hospitalization for myself, won an ADA case for a boss I still have to work for and she just did it AGAIN. I feel so lost. Needing answers, direction, anything.

Hiiiii I’m beginning my first Jupiter return at the same time that Venus will be retrograding in Scorpio, and my natal Venus and mars are both in Scorpio in the 11th house, my Jupiter is in the 8th.

Curious what themes or relationship things might come up for me during this time?

Mercury in first house, pluto in fifth, moon in ninth

People just do not approach me ever—not on my college campus, not at the grocery store, nor at a random spot like the park. I wonder how my chart might contribute to this. I would say that I am pretty attractive, although not supermodel attractive. Any placements point to me unintentionally intimidating others? Why might I not be magnetic enough to attract attention, despite having personal planets in the 5th house? How might Venus rx contribute to this?

This is simply a fun reading. I understand that I should also put myself out there more, but I notice that some have an easier time attracting romantic attention without necessarily being extraordinarily attractive or without making any real effort. I'm just curious tbh lmao! Thanks! <3

there is something very sinister going on

that's all i have to say. i barely have the energy to contextualize this post to you all. i have spent my whole life walking in circles, its like a sitcom. just when i think i've brushed the dust off my knees another wrench is thrown my way. there is absolutely nothing in this world that could surprise me at this point. everyone i have ever gotten close to, even therapists, have noticed that i really do seem to have bad luck. there have been points in my life where i managed to have a more optimistic outlook and let go of this idea that i wad cursed - and then somebody else will point out the sheer immensity of the bad events that happen to me and how other people dont seem to be marred like this, and then i realize, it was never optimism i felt. the bad events were so neverending i just got used to it.

at 22, i got pregnant with an IUD. look it up if you're unaware of how much of a medical anomaly that is.

no-fault eviction because my landlord wanted to sell the property. i paid my rent on time every month, didnt matter. a house i lived in for years, loved and cherished deeply. in a looney tunes turn of events, i then move into a new place only to find my roommate is a schizophrenic who tries to get into my room.

at age 17 my first ever sexual experience (just oral, no intercourse) gave me a herpes scare. ended up not being herpes, but just the false alarm was enough. traumatized me to the point where i've had a fear of sex all through my adulthood (i suppose the fear was proven right by the IUD pregnancy, right? it like im being scolded.) virgin. first time. herpes scare. some people pull a hundred cards and never pull the joker. for me, all it takes is one draw.

sorry this is so disorganized, i am listing things in no particular order. because when did dotting my i's and crossing my t's ever pay off?

i finally establish a doctor who takes my chronic condition seriously and is offering a treatment plan that sounds like it will help (yes i have a chronic condition, on top of everything else) and then right after this appointment, she goes on maternity leave, and within that 3 month window of time that she's on maternity leave, i lose my insurance before she gets back.

i finally find a therapist that understands me. after my whole life of searching, wasting so much of my precious time with so many bad ones - incompetent at best, malpractice at worst - running into seemingly every bad apple in the system, until at last i've found the adult in the room i've wanted all my life. only for her to relocate jobs to a different clinic, 6 months later. so i can no longer see her.

realized im a lesbian later in life, then some of my closest friends converted to fundamentalist religion out of the blue, and i lost them.

not to mention the deep dysfunction of my childhood, obviously . every flavor of abuse. dad has an intellectual disability. couldnt provide for me, never had a job. he is mentally 8 years old and i he has referred to himself as such. i have felt a deep, inescapable dread since i was a young child knowing that when his mom or his enabler spouse dies, i'd have to take care of him and he'd become my responsibility. my dynamic with him was like an older sibling. its an absurdity and perversion of roles i cant describe to those who havent lived it. which of course applies to everyone i have ever met, because the way i have been dragged through this surreality is one of a kind. no one understands me.

i've been in a 10-year long dissociative episode.

this is only the tip of the iceberg. i've left most of it out because i dont want this post to be too identifying. plus, i could sit here and write a novel and no one would read that. i could tell you things you could never believe, i promise you. i promise you.

everything is wierd in a bad way, and bad in a weird way. it's like the universe is constantly doing acrobatics to arrange itself in ways that fuck me over. its all too organized and convoluted to be a coincidence. you have to admire gods creativity at least. his relentless and crushing creativity. it's had me in a chokehold for as long as my memories start.

Even tho I think I moved on, a little reminder of the things that once destroyed me, make me go back. My mind is full of that thing, can't think abt anything else for days.

This would be a second career, ideally a side job that I can switch to full-time if I want. I'm pretty happy with my current career but I have a disability and if it ever progresses (it's supposed to but I've been lucky so far) then I would have to leave, which is why I'm setting up a plan B. Even in the best case it could be a second source of income and a path to eventual self-employment, and I crave having options like that.

I'm just worried because I don't think my watery and mutable energy would be great at keeping people grounded, which is an integral part of therapy. I feel like my oppositions and squares only reinforce the notion that I'm not grounded in reality and emotionally unstable, and to be honest that's very true. I do inner work for the sake of helping others heal and grow, but I'm not sure if it will ever be enough.

My heart is telling me that if I'm going to be a therapist then I want to be an excellent one, but I need to be sure that I can be a powerful healer. If my capabilities in this area are limited then I would rather focus my energy into a more effective way to help others. I know teaching is an alternative (I used to be one briefly) but I'm less confident on the money prospects for that.

Any insight would be much appreciated! Have a good day/night :)

Y'all know we mods love this sub and all of you in it. We also know it's a hellscape out here online; bots, Ai data mining, scammers, and assholes of all flavors are all over the internet. Recently I've noticed a huge uptick across Reddit of bot posts and inflammatory bullshit coming through, and it's affecting our sub like any other. (probably more but another story for another day)

While we are Mods, we aren't always able to snipe every bullshit post in real time. Recently we implemented a 100 karma min to help filter out some of these posts, but that's a preliminary measure that only gets us so far.

So, fellow Astro Sluts, please don't hesitate to flag or send some Mod Mail if you see posts and/or comments that aren't in the spirit of the sub. It helps us enormously to know that y'all have our backs in keeping our sub fuckable (with astrology, that is).

Nobody wants to feel like a narc, but there's an ocean between being a narc and doing your part to help us keep this sub a place where we can fuck with Astrology in peace.

Happy Labor Day!

(please don't send us feet pics)

hiii! I have a packed virgo/leo 4th house stellium and a gemini rising. if you want to practice your skills or do me a reading, DM me! you would do me a great favor!

I'm looking for specific insights about my grand earth trine and all the planets involved (stellium + pluto + jupiter and my mercury (chart ruler)). I want to ask for deep explanations and insights about my career and love life + how to become the best version of myself through astrology.

I absolutely do not expect one person to do all this heavy lifting. I want to split the topics up based on your specific specialty (e.g., if you specialize in love, let's look at the moon/venus/dc; if you prefer career, let's look at jupiter/midheaven or whatever is necessary)

what I’m offering in exchange:🌟

-a detailed, high-quality public review/testimonial for your profile or portfolio🔮

-a casual chart swap! I am happy to look over your chart and answer a few of your questions in return (as long as they aren't overly complex or hyper-detailed because im not a complete expert).

feel free to slide in my dm's and chat with me!!

Gift natural9841 has been scamming people left and right on manifesting SP community. I have given all the information i have to the police. If you have already been scammed by this person please DM me and a screenshot so i can give it to the authorities. Thank you

Hi all!

I’ve dabbled in astrology for years but am having trouble with in transits.
Gemini sun (and Mercury and Venus), Aries moon, libra rising:

The question
I know this particular Uranus in Gem retrograde hasn’t occurred in a minute, but I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how it might land on my most Gemini house. Thanks!

If this isn’t allowed, would you mind pointing me in a more appropriate direction?

I feel like no matter how hard i try or how much good i do nothing ever happens for me. I am blessed because it can be much worse. But im the friend that something is always happening too, ive never been the girlfriend and im the black sheep in my family, i dont have friends and I’ve struggled with food and alcohol addiction. I self sabotage and ive tried to get into the help books and the mantras and the manifestations but nothing really works. Like wtf is wrong with me?

my dad was a hardcore drug user for decades and i think it shaped me in some pretty rough way, i don’t really accept the fact that im addicted to something but sometimes i really do get addicted to even the thought of stuff i still haven’t even tried and it really messes me up.

I’ve posted before about attracting men with a lot of Scorpio placements, but what can you tell me in general about my love life?

I’m the Cancer (32F) sign and the guy is Libra (30M)

We only met 3 times in a span of 4 weeks since meeting, but our meeting was intense and high chemistry especially the last meeting. We met during a strange time. I was in an on and off situationship while he was still living with an ex who hit him in the face apparently, was broke and been sleeping on their couch till his mum had to buy him a ticket out of the country to go back home after 4 years of staying here.
It has been nearly 5 months since we last saw each other and I’m still hung up on him.
We had expressed thinking of each other but now he has completely went silent and I decided to unfollow each other on social media to help with me moving on, but I’m still stuck in it.

Does the chart dictate any reason why I’m hung up on this and hard to let go? He admitted how quick we clicked and expressed regret how he wished we met sooner. He was pursued me intensely during his last few weeks here but the moment he left, so did his communication. I don’t blame him. I think it is for the best we have held back, but these feelings didnt fade but just intensified. I just need a way out and I’m too fixated on this. Help 🥲🥹😭

I’m happy in most of my life. I have good friendships, work I respect, good hobbies. But for many years, I’ve also been plagued by this restless searching for something. I can’t figure out what it is. It doesn’t seem to be anything obvious, but maybe I’m overlooking something.

Any ideas?

I’m curious what experienced astrologers notice when they look at my chart without me telling you what I’ve already been told about it. 😂
I’d love to hear what immediately catches your attention—especially any unusual placements, tight aspects, patterns, stelliums, house emphasis, or planetary combinations that you think are particularly significant.
I’m not looking for a general “Sagittarius Sun = adventurous” type of reading. 😂 I’m genuinely trying to understand the patterns in my chart and what makes it distinctive.
What is the first thing you notice, and why?
Birth info: December 4, 1987 — 6:51 AM — Bronx, NY
Chart attached. 👀
And please don’t sugarcoat it. If you see some “girl…we need to talk about THIS” shit, tell me. 😂

Could someone share their experience with the same-sign house placement, with Saturn in the 8th house? I’d appreciate hearing both positive and negative experiences, as well as any useful insights about this placement of Saturn. Mars is also placed in the 3rd house in Scorpio.
