Somewhere in between.. mostly cuz I’ve downsized into a smaller place post divorce. Does that make me a hoarder or just kids still live here? 😂😂
Aqua moon first house
I also like coziness, that’s why I painted the walls in warm colors 🙃
Depends on the room and space. Workspace/creativity room: hoarder. I can always put this "thingamabob" I may normally throw away to use if I am creative enough. And I am creative enough. Just give me a day, or year and I will know exactly how to use it. I would say every nook and cranny in that room is filled with something, except where I sit to create. It's like a bubble of "neatness".
Everywhere else in my home: comfortable. I am not a minimalist because similar to you I like cozy spaces, however I definitely do not have every corner, space filled with something. That feels too cluttered and busy. Every other room in my home is well thought out, orderly and evenly spaced (in some case with a measuring tape to be sure) 😉. My ability to compartmentalize seems to take on various forms in my life.
Not so Chatty Moon, in the Mothering House
I'm a hoarder only when it comes to specific things (personal care/beauty products, clothes, shoes, jewelry). Other than that, I'm a minimalist who just needs enough storage space to hide those things from spilling out.

Tape measure? Mothering?
🌜Virgo in 4th? 😀
Minimalist—if I’d let myself go, I’d probably be a hoarder though. Especially when it comes to projects!!! So many unfinished and so many things I’ll use later haha I watch Hoarders the show and I can often sympathize easily with the person. But I’ve lost all my possessions multiple times in my life and that taught me detachment from material things.
I have a lot of unframed art in tubes that I will get to eventually but I don't have enough wall space for them anyways. When I travel, I always try to find original local artists to add to it. I'd like to refurbish an old barn and have a little art space upstairs with a community meeting space/dancehall/music spot downstairs. I have a lot of nice clothes. I tend to continuously upgrade every year with better stuff so I kick down things to family and friends. I'm don't really need a new vehicle but I'm gonna get something nice next year and give my brother my Audi as he's currently driving a beat up Subaru. I have a decent comic book and vintage toy collection that I periodically add to as well. I have about 400 tickets from various shows, museums, and events. Not sure if that qualifies as a collection (more like momentos). Aries Moon in the 1st House.
Posted by MyStarsShineWhich one are you in your home?
I have just finished a book about a woman who was such a hoarder, every room in her home was covered in things, even the corridors and bathrooms. She collected newspapers which reached the ceiling. The character was a Cancer sun ....
Can you state your Moon and the house it’s in
I’ve Taurus Moon in 2nd and would find it hard to live in a sparse, minimalist environment as i like cosiness but am also aware of not keeping too many things around me. Ive just begun to donate books as already have five book cases full.
I'm happy having all bases covered and some extra(being prepared).
I only collect things that matter, value to me, or at least useful. Pictures, small keep sakes, and nest egg💰 for obvious reasons.
I'm actually not materialistic at all.
P.S totally agree with the cozy thing.
I’m a hoarder when it comes to clothes and kitchen gadgets. But everything else is just regular.
I need to stop buying clothes if I’m not throwing out other items. But for some reason, I rarely go through them.
And I buy too many convenient kitchen gadgets that I don’t need.
Could you state your moon and house placement please guys?
I'm in between. I hoard "personal things" clothes, shoes, make up, jewellery ect. House is comfy and everything has a place and it freaks me out if someone moves stuff around and I have to look for it.
Gemini moon in 8th house
I was raised by a hoarder (Taurus with Leo moon in 10th house) and feel a lot of unease when visiting “home”. I didn’t realise she was one when growing up, because she didn’t have too many things back then. They have accumulated over the years though, and nothing been thrown away. I’m visiting next month, and need to prepare myself mentally, lol. Went for a long walk today, after I’ve got an email from my parents, and found myself decluttering their home in my imagination. Unlikely to happen in reality.
I have a tendency to shop online for clothes when I feel anxious or stressed, and also like to surround myself with beautiful things like original paintings (Venus in 2nd house). I am definitely not a hoarder, though. I feel that having too many things is a burden, and merely the thought that I might end up like my mother scares the hell out me. Besides, as a triple mutable, I’m a gipsy at heart, ready to pack my belongings and go. Only one bag allowed. An aspiring minimalist. I could never live with a hoarder.
Posted by ScorpioDreamsIs there a such thing as an organized hoarder? Because that’s me. I collect a lot of things I find hard to let go of, but everything has its place. I do donate clothes and stuff once a year though or else I’d definitely run out of space to put everything. I guess I’m too sentimental with things....even things I don’t use. I mean they are just things. Yet I can’t seem to part with them. I swear one of these days I’m just gonna throw everything out and start fresh!
Leo moon, tenth house
I relate to this...I’m so sentimental too
Read the book .... it’s called “The house we grew up in” by Lisa Jewell. When I finished it i got rid of some of my stuff.

Pisces moon in 3rd house
Posted by HamstheticsI have a very hard time getting rid of old things.
I'm not attached to material things, but they're part of my memories. And i'm worried of what would happened to them if i throw it away.
The only way i'm happily to let go of my old things is through Charity. But i'm aware most of them are not worth of having a second home, and thats why my Attic is full of craps that nobody wants.
Pisces moon
Which house?

The question is how many of those books have you read and how much will you re-read? I've got a rule were I need to get rid of one book before I buy another one.

That’s great advice ... I’ll try to do that, thanks.
Believe it or not, I’ve read most of them and re-read a few too. To me there’s something about a home with lots of books, but then again......

I've not counted, but I think I have well over 50.

You’re very restrained 😀
I dare not count mine lol
I'm not an ultra minimalist. But I do enjoy an uncluttered look. Empty space is valuable to the eye. Although I do slightly hoard plants. Hey we can't all be perfect lol
