Hmmm. Yeah I see your points. My ex was on the private and separation side a little bit. More than your average Scorp but probably not to the extent you are so with the explanation now I get it. It screams Gemini moon lol. My best is like that, as well as my Gemini moon sister. A foreign process to me but it works for them lol.

In terms of OP, my insinuation wasn't that he was cheating, that's a miscommunication on my part. But the boyfriend had public freakouts and shut downs where he'd push out the OP. To me that says he's withholding a part of himself out of insecurity, fear or some other negative drive to withhold himself from his partner, not simply process or evaluate. That's what I meant by no good reason, not implying he's a cheater.click to expand

Ohhhhhh sames. Was just talking on this today as well with someone. Every time I've been accused of being controlling is normally when I am trying to control myself in reality, and shield someone from unnecessary emotions that knowing would hurt or overwhelm them. But the same blocks I think are protecting them have been interpreted so negatively. That is difficult to explain once someone already assumes poorly of you. I can very much understand now.

I myself still have a lot to learn about relating and relationships. So I'm certainly not fit to paint everyone with the same brush. Thank you for taking the time to engage with me. 🙂click to expand

folks!

I took most of this week off to go out of town and then celebrate the crabs birthday. However at the last minute I decided to not go out of town and obviously I am not celebrating the crabs birthday either. I'm at an odd place.
I know the crab is gone for good. But it still nags and hurts as if he isn't. My plan to simplify my life by removing him as a distraction has backfired a bit I'll admit. He's not around, but honestly not a single day goes by without thinking of him. I believe it's because he's not a distraction. I fell for him and just didn't want to admit it. That's a hard thing to say out loud after the fact. And it's a shot to my pride, as I always believe myself to be in touch with my feelings.
I spent two days with my Pisces bff. I spent all my teenage years with her, practically living at her house and am terribly close with her family. It's one of the few places where I can mope and cry and be my most honest self without a second thought. No fear. No insecurity exists there for me.
The cancer lessons continued. She has a young crab daughter who is devoted to me. She's like a magnet whenever I come around and constantly wants to share and show off to me at the insistence she avoids all others. (Scorp rising baby, adorable). Funnily enough, the Pisces told me something I never knew. Way back then, the Pisces and I were repairing our friendship after damage and distance, that was when the crab was born. The Pisces told me that outside of her, I was the first one ever to hold the little crab after she was born. I was deeply moved by such a revelation.
The crab has an adorable stereotypical fascination with family. She likes to watch these homemade dvds of family events and memories. Especially when I am around. The one she chose was about her cousin who'd been born recently. Family and children are a tender subject for me at the moment. And I cried watching the home movies and slideshows set to moving music. Snuggled up with the Pisces and the brand new puppy she just bought. I broke down.
Let it all out about the crab. How deep it felt. How much deeper it hurt. My belief that it was truly over and the struggle that accepting that didn't remove the feelings like I wish it did. My fears about my father and being a good daughter. My fear I'd never have the family I so deeply desire and believed I was totally undeserving. The deeply scary idea of dating and meeting new people and me not even having the first clue about where to look let alone when the time would be right. That leads into the fear it will never happen and I'll have to settle for being a fun aunt type. How afraid I was to admit to everyone around me that no, I wasn't giving up on my dream career. It just isn't my dream anymore. I'm so happy with the job and life style I have and that people's high expectations for my life would be disappointed. All the fears came pouring out.
And the Pisces listened. And listened. And loved. She didn't jump in with advice on how I should change or grow or fix myself. She didn't ask anything more than questions which prompted me to talk when I'd start to shut down. She didn't tell me I was crazy or my feelings delusional or irrational. She didn't disparage the crab (something I hate that others do, as I did when they did so with my ex Scorp). She listened, loved on me and nurtured me.
Exhausted I fell asleep unintentionally on her couch, her brand new puppy snuggled in between my neck and my chest. We slept all night. Straight through. In all my adult life, I've had crippling insomnia. I sleep 2-4 hours most nights, occasionally six after a long week. Medication and routine rarely fix it. Smoking sort of did before I quit. The only other time in my life I ever slept a full 7-8 hours, was when I was with the crab.
The next day she doted on me. Cared for me. Made me laugh. Let me cry some more. Spoke to me with such insight and positivity. I left her house feeling healed.
Now I'm sitting on my porch, on a holiday of contrived freedom and colorful explosives. And I feel free. Free enough to admit my fears. To say them out loud. To address them directly in my life in new ways. And I didn't receive a single bit of advice or inspiring words to do so. She just loved me. Watching the fireworks, all I can think here tonight is I feel free. Free to let go of the crab. Of my fears. To trust in all due time, my life will find its way to my heart desires. To not be consumed with all my suppressed fears any longer. The lights are in the sky tonight, but in my heart and soul as well.


Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingLol!!
I'm not sure why I just find it harder to post on threads that represents my Moon or Rising sign. It feels....foreign. Where others do so with ease.
Scorp Sun thread? Everyone and their mama that has Saturn, IC or whatever in the 8th house feels compelled to contribute to that thread because they somehow feel....like they can relate.
There is a level of understanding of people that conjunct my Moon (not so much Rising with the exception of people that have the same Rising signs as I do), but that's it.
I feel I can relate to them as much as I feel like I can relate to a cat.
What are your three most dominant planets on pullen?
Posted by Ellygant
If your sun is I conjunct your moon that might explain that disconnect. I have dealt with that with my mars a lot. As I've aged I've managed to blend the energies better though and I see certain Gemini attributes more.click to expand


Posted by Ellygant
To be fair PR, on occasion you can be observed to have very cat like qualities.
Crafty and very intelligent, quiet, stealthy, come and go as you please and when you feel like it, warm, snuggle and deeply affectionate to those in need. When you feel like it.
😄 😄 😛

Dr said dad's chemo going great. I repeat, great! Exact word.
🙂
Happy day.


Posted by MysteriousDreamerHair which is touched by fire and milky skin, always a beautifully stunning combination. 🙂
So I'm sitting on the beach today envious of all the gorgeous tanned women around me lying in the sun while I'm hunched under an umbrella after taking a bath in sunscreen. Yet I still walk away looking like a lobster. ? Red hair, fair skin problems. Sigh....life just isn't fair.

Posted by MysteriousDreamerJust have fun. See where it takes you.
What do you guys think about these two charts? And how do they mesh with mine? Have a date with these two guys this weekend. One's a second date and one's a first date.

That gif just reminded me of the dynamic between the two.
Scorp Venus is the only Scorp placement I handle with caution. I would unintentionally leave a few scars simply because the social expectations are different.click to expand

Imo, tho. Scorpio venus can be hardy *sometimes*.

@ellygant - where are you? 😢 I hope everything is going well.
Everything is good. 🙂 I've been having to be more internal as of late to sort through everything. I am so grateful you are thinking of me!
More good news is dad has finished chemo. Now we wait a month then they'll test to see where we go from here. Hopefully September will be full of good news.

Totally, utterly depressed.
It's been a week since my dog suddenly died of a heart attack. She was ”my" dog. All the other dogs were the Virgo's or a ”family” dog.
I remember when we adopted our son, she would go into his room every night without fail and sleep at the foot of his bed until he fell asleep.
I know she was "just a dog" but her loss has really left a hole in me.



Posted by AneemA08I wasn't addressing you, sorry if you thought I was. Upfront I haven't read your post since I figured this thread was more of a 'screaming into the void' situation.
Love isn't something shitty. It's complicated.

Posted by EllygantShould share your photos, that's a really neat hobby imo but stay safe while exploring abandoned buildings.
Went urban adventuring today with future roomie and got some amazing shots of abandoned warehouses and railways. I forgot how alive I feel with a camera in my hands.
So. Excited. To. Move.

Elly: I'm always sassy.
Leo: yeah. But like scary stab you sassy. Today you're sunny sassy. I like it.
Posted by Ellygant
He's showy and proud like Leo but not in the same way as others. More down to earth. Less obsessive about winning or feeling on top. I honestly thought he was a cancer the first few months at work. He was quiet, observant and withdrawn.click to expand

Posted by EllygantPosted by PhoenixRisingWas your ex Leo more agreeable than other Leos? This one is. I'll admit it's a huge part of his charm. Occasionally he'll play bicker back and forth. Then when it starts to turn to a real power style argument he'll normally pause, roll over and be like 'Actually, you're probably right.'Posted by Ellygant

Sounds like my ex Leo. I always wondered why he was (and still seems to be) the only Leo I can tolerate for more than an hour.
So jarring for me since I rarely experience that with Leos. Disarms my defenses totally lol. He slowly is creeping up on the chinks in my armor.click to expand

I understand the bit about Masculine signs... I like the way they address and challenge me. I feel I can be soft and taken care of and people rarely make me feel that way.
Posted by Ellygant
Now I think I'd like a Masculine sign as sun or moon. Not for both lol.

So yeah, pussyfooting indeed I guess I suppose.

... What he didn't know was that shortly after we stopped talking I did a background check on him for the hell of it. Found out his real age, real name...


Posted by MysteriousDreamer
I guess I'm just fed up with being deceived and lied to by guys...having them walk all over me and use me like I don't matter...

Posted by MysteriousDreamerPosted by PhoenixRisingToo many things just didn't add up. He told me he was a doctor at a hospital I used to work at so I searched the hospitals directory and could not find anyone by the bogus name he gave me. His excuse was he was new and they didn't have his name in the system yet. So I did my own digging and found out everything about him.Posted by MysteriousDreamer

I try to be a very nice person....sweet, kind, trusting (maybe too trusting), but I'm sorry, when it comes to this kind of stuff...don't fuck with me. I'll find out the dirt on you one way or another.
