Help me, help someone else. You know you want to.

So I've been hanging with a friend of mine, whose become much more to me. He is a Sag/Scorp cusper.....so a lot of what I am not.......logical, scientific, grounded....you get the drift. Well he's going through a rough spot right now. A lot of upheaval and uncertainty----which throws his Sag butt into a bit of a tailspin, and he's just incredibly withdrawn and sad......

I hung out with him last night and I really just soaked up all of his sadness......I feel terrible (my heart hurts 😭 ) and all I want to do is help (of course I do 🙂 ) but i haven't had too much experience with this sign so any input would be greatly appreciated.

a pisces work is never done eh?!

Don't get drawn into his mood - Pisces can do that easily ! 🙂 may be detrimental in this case...

Smile when he's sad, take him out - what did he enjoy?, etc...had similar with a Nov 22nd born recently...if he's mostly Sag, then it won't be long to come out of, the pessimism is temporary and philosophy based...but with Scorp, just try not to go under with him.

Thanks zenalchmy,

You're so right. I got sucked in so fast. It was overwhelming. But sure enough, the next day he was in much better spirits, and as soon as I heard that in his voice, I immediately felt the relief. 🙂

Yeah, I used to pick up on other peep's emotional stuff CONSTANTLY when I was younger. Now I keep my garage door closed. Seriously, it works! If you're taking on someone else's troubles, just visualize a garage door closing. This doesn't mean you can't or won't be there for them, but it will help you stay emotionally detached, which will help them more in the long run anyway. They'll be too close to the situation to see it clearly.

Thanks for the tip SS! Sometimes this empath butter is for the birds! So draining.......curse and a blessing though, right?
