Isolation

For how long can you isolate yourself. Not necessarily physically but even mentally like not caring what is happening with others or in world.

Also what makes you do it?

Mention your sun, moon, mercury sign.

For me it's very weird. I can do it for a whole day but it's usually when I need to recharge from my interactions with people. I typically need it after a while so I like to call them my introvert day lol

My Sun and merc is in Pisces and my moon is in Cancer

8th/12th house.

"As a 12th house Sun and Venus person I have always felt the urge to withdrawal from the world and spend time alone. I loved hanging out with people for a certain amount of time, but even at a young age I realized I was different. I had a strong need to stay home or be with myself to recover and recoup my energies. I remember feeling very drained and tired after being around friends, family or after a day at school. I felt better after spending some time alone and in a peaceful environment.

Alone time is healthy for 12th house people. We need it to heal, recover and survive because of our heightened sensitivity to the environment and other people. We are psychic sponges who absorb everything going on around us. We pick up loud noises, emotions and other people’s energy very easily. This lack of boundaries between our self and others is prominent at a young age, even if we did not realize it.

I was 16 years old when I read about the Sun in the 12th house for the first time and it was the first time that I felt validated and that I felt my personality was described accurately. It made me feel better about my need for alone time. Spending time alone reading, meditating, journaling or listening to music is a healthy way to experience alone time.

The other side of this house is isolation. The danger of isolation is that 12th house people often want to withdrawal and hide when they feel a challenge in their lives or if they are experiencing high levels of stress. It is healthy to focus on ourselves more when we need to balance our life and energies. Although it can become unhealthy if we try to avoid people and places in order to be reclusive. There is a fine line between alone time and avoidance. Avoidance and isolation can be a coping mechanism designed to protect oneself, but can also further isolate us causing more loneliness, depression and anxiety.

1. Planets in 12 house(1 point for each planet-only the 7 visible ones count-Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn)





The 12th house planets indicate a very sensitive and almost psychic person, who soaks others feelings and moods, hence they need longer time alone to clean themselves from the build up of others' and astral impressions.





Ppl with such positions might also find themselves in isolated areas like, libraries, scientific researcher, medical institutions, charity organisations, ashrams, spiritual communities or prisons. Such positions are very fated, karma from past lives has a big play here, in good or harder way.





1. Planets in Pisces (1 point for each-only the 7 visible ones, as above)





Pisces has the most psychics and sensitive sign, and just like the 12th house, it indicates very psychically permissive ppl who need time alone to sort their feelings from others' and become peaceful.





Pisces people leak their pranic (vitality) energy to others just by interaction. The only way they can protect their life (prana) energy is by helping others consciously, or else it will be drained from them in more vampiric ways. People with planets in Pisces(Especially Sun, Moon or Ascendant) should find something they care about and contribute to in any way(emotional or material). Then their sense of isolation/hopelessness will diminish.





2.Planets below the horizon (1 points for each-only the 7 visible ones as above)





When you have 4 or more planets below the horizon, it indicates depth and introversion. Often the first part of life is more lonely, fate puts in you situations or circumstances which require spending more time alone while the second part becomes busier. (the first 6 houses represent the 3rd and 4th part of life-after 40 onwards). These people are more private and need time alone, or else they get drained. But even if do not like being alone so much, life will place them in such situation.





3. 4 or More planets(from Sun to Saturn) in 4th, 8th or 12th houses.

I isolate every day, whether it be in a book, in running.. I become apathetic when I have constant contact with anyone. I can only intellectualize in small spurts but I put a lot of energy into brief encounters.

I have 9 planets below the horizon, only Jupiter (11 retro) and mars (9th) are above. Most my planets fall in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th.

Sag sun 5th

Libra moon 3rd

Sag Merc 5th.

Depression, and weeks, if not months. Aqua moon, Aries mercury. Sun aries.

I always do this. The only person I'm really worried about is myself. I'm selfish and like not knowing and staying in my own little world. I like being surprised by stuff every now and then and then being able to keep it moving.

I don't know why I do it, but I know I've never been a nosy person, I could care less whats going on in your life. I'm all about ME.

Maybe 3-4 hours a day. 12 hours a day maximum. Plug myself in, headphones, distraction-free app and just write.

The motivation is just to focus + creativity.

Other than that, I'm always looking for a distraction or connection like this forum.

i'm cooking and reading.

this forum is my read feed.

and participation too.
