I was born with a cloak of invisibility. It's cool in some situations, but a huge disappointment in situations where I wished I were actually recognized. I mean people don't see me there physically sometimes, or maybe they choose not to...idk.



Aries in the 9th house. I also have sun, moon, and Mercury in the 9th. (I really like my 9th house placements.)

Any 12th house planets? Many people with 12th house planets report a similar experience.

I have Saturn in the 12th. I found this statement to stand out when I looked it up:

"There may be feelings of loneliness or isolation, either self-imposed or due to external circumstances."

Does Saturn in the 12th manifest as fears surrounding spiritual experiences in your experience? I have my Sun in the 12th and have delved into this, but now I'm swimming my way back to the shore. I think my lesson has been to appreciate the physical and material realm more.

They also say Saturn is all about structures, morals and the practical/ material realm, yet the 12th house dissolves all that falls into it.

Yes Saturn is all about structures, morals, practicality, time, tasks, staying the course and facing reality. I think Saturn is strong enough and grounded enough not to lose itself in the swells of the spiritual world of the 12th house, but to go through with the intention to learn it's inner workings. At least that's been my experience. I've always had a deep curiosity for the profound and the esoteric.

May I suggest that it sounds like you have a strong Saturn then, with some trines to it perhaps or with it ruling your Ascendant. Maybe some earth or something very grounding elsewhere. A strong Saturn is one that upholds it's structure in the 12th house.

My whole entire perspective in life changed when I returned to college to get my Econ degree. Ive always been fascinated with psychology, but never fully understood how they're so intertwined. There is no economy without psychology. Its Macro vs Micro, in layman's terms. The phrase "the path to hell is paved with good intentions" rang so profoundly to me when the entire picture formed, it changed my entire outlook.

Very very few things aren't transactional in life. We're even transactional with ourselves. Just like big business trying to create the next big thing that saves humanity, there's unintended consequences that can offset any progress, sometimes create a whole new problem. Most drug dealers (most not all) sell drugs as a way to pay bills and not users themselves, they sell to people who want an escape, to feel good. We all know what drugs will do.. thats 3 transactions- 1 between the drug dealer and the addict, but then another between the addict and their self (how many people don't try drugs in fear of what they know could happen? Those people didnt see the value in the transaction within themselves), the third is between the drug dealer and themselves and their values/morals (their financial situation is deemed more valuable and the risks worth taking).

Some transactions offer value to all parties, some take advantage of someone, sometime kill off little parts of ourselves as we go. Some with intended consequences that we are aware of... some we have no idea how it will play out until it starts to play out. Its all a stone's ripple in lake.

This plays out in almost everything.

Finding something in life that isn't transactional is rare, so grab ahold of it when you see it.

I would say learning that freedom is not being free from everything .

Do you think freedom exists? I think freedom is an elusive concept. Maybe @WarAngel79 or @Walk_on_by has it the closest with camping, hunting, or spending times with animals. But it's definitely not there in city life...

Yes of course it does but it's freedom within yourself. Freedom to commit, freedom to reject. It's not being free of but being free to
Like you're free to use my post as an excuse to tag your dxp crushes 😄

I get the whole concept of freedom of choice. But is it freedom though if this freedom of choice is subject to constraints or conditions?

Like in your example 😛...

I was only free to "use your post as an excuse to tag" when...
1) I'm not banned from this site
2) they haven't deleted
3) dxp is working as it should

So you want freedom with total disregard for the world around you? I think that's called death

Me? No.

Freedom is something Canada brags about. I see it almost non existent without constraints and conditions....Almost... So was just looking for others POV.
