Hey! So I would love to hear your thoughts on my relationship! I am a ♌ Sun, ♍ Moon, ♓ Rising, ♍ Venus and ♏ Mars dating a ♉ Sun, ♓ Moon, ♍ Rising, ♋ Venus and ♎ Mars! Thank you so muuuuch 💖💖.

I sense a lot of conflict. Y’all are very different people. Some similar core values, but a lot of different approaches to life. Probably both pretty stubborn too. 

It could be very rewarding being able to learn and grow together - but probs takes a lot of work.

[astraltwelve]

I get emotionally too attached to someone who typically i'll just cut them off. With him surprisingly i can acrossed my own rules and it just very overwhelmed me. I don't even have a clue at all does this connection is positive or negative for me. I curiously really wonder about it based on astrology. Im Pisces sun, sag moon, libra rising, Aqua Venus, aries mars. And he is Gemini sun, aries moon, libra rising, Gemini Venus, taurus mars. In other side ThankYouSoMuch for opening question session🙂

Oh yeah. You both have the same ascendant and moon. You present yourselves to the world similarly, and you have the same internal headspace in a lot of ways. He may be a bit less emotional than you - but you’re into it. Bet your love languages are similar too.

Zodiac Signs and Sorrow

~More applicable to Moon Signs than Sun Signs~

Aries

The Ram is seldom sorrowful. Their natural optimism keeps them cheerful and excitable. Aries is not immune to sorrow, though. Their reaction to such is usually through distractions by being active (think of Tony Stark in Iron Man 3). They’ll keep themselves busy, because doing things is better than feelings things. When their sorrows do bubble to the surface, it is likely they’ll seem angry, because that, too, is easier for them to handle. On the other hand, Aries may cope by discussing their best traits, or the things happening in their life. This, too, is a sort of distraction for them - talking about the good can help them forget about the bad.

Taurus

Only those who are closest to the Bull will ever see even a glimpse of their sorrow. Taurus individuals prefer to isolate themselves when they are affected by their sorrow. They won’t usually cry unless they are alone. They also have a tendency to temporarily stop talking to everyone as they try to work through whatever has them upset. When around people, Taurus will bury everything, and choose instead to be cheerful, and silly. They’ll focus all of their energy in taking care of every else.

Gemini

When plagued with sorrow, the twins usually try to ignore it. They aren’t fond of unnecessary emotions. However, when something can’t simply be ignored, it tends to fester under their surface, causing them to erupt with anger and criticism that may seem source-less. When they aren’t lashing out, Gemini can feel an uncomfortable sense of restlessness. They may feel as if they absolutely need to be doing something other than what they are presently doing. This restlessness may manifest as a sort of irritability. When Gemini properly identifies the cause of their anger, they will try to apply logic to it. This can often be seen when they place labels of mental illness upon themselves, or simply by blaming it on the events leading up to it, or the people they believe to have caused it.

Cancer

When it comes to Sorrow, the Crab has a tendency to hold on tightly. They don’t lack the ability to move past whatever is causing them pain, but often don’t try to. Cancer can be rather reserved, so you may not know the source of their sorrow. However, they do have a tendency to wear their heart on their sleeve. Often, it may be obvious that Cancer is upset, even if the reason is kept to themselves. These people tend to have difficulty seeing past their intense emotions, so may seem recluse during the times that they are burdened with sorrow. However, Cancers also can be very open to people they consider close, and will often talk to their loved one about what’s going on.

Leo

Similar to Aries, the Lion isn’t usually burdened by sorrow. When Leo is upset, however, they will not usually make a big display of it. As flamboyant as Leo’s are, they need to protect their public image. Tears aren’t something they want associated with their name. In fact, Leo’s are so skilled at hiding their misery, that they can often hide it from themselves. When behind closed doors, though, they are prone to outburst  Whether it’s via temper tantrums or fits of sobbing can vary greatly from person to person. Typically, these Fire Signs busy themselves by focusing on the affairs of others. 

Virgo

The ever vigilant perfectionist, the Virgin often see sorrow as a weakness they’d rather do without. That’s not to say they’re impervious to such feelings - they simply have a tendency towards burying it. Virgo’s will often choose productivity instead. Whether that be reorganizing, cleaning, completing, or being productive. Virgo’s aren’t the first to open up about their sorrow, but if you’re close to one, they just might. They aren’t the type to mope and cry about it, but even stating that it exists is a big step for them.

Libra

The Scales know balance like the back of their hand, and with that ability they aren’t often weighed down by sorrow. Like the other Air Signs, Libra’s aren’t renown for having feelings run too deeply. They’ll likely think their way through problems, and detach from anything, or anyone, that weighs them down. When their balance is trifled with, Libra’s can find solace in social interaction. Since they are ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, they may find a shopping experiences or surrounding themselves in beauty will help sort things out. Since they aren’t fond of misery, Libra’s will do anything to normalize their balance. Libra’s don’t often express their sorrow, even to those very close to them. Instead, they may withdraw slightly, returning when they are feeling better.

Scorpio

Prone to profoundly deep emotions, whatever the Scorpion feels vibrates through their entire core. Sorrow is no exception. When a Scorpio is plagued by Sorrow, they will usually keep it to themselves. Since they are so secretive, only the people they deem worthy are allowed to see them at anything but their best. Scorpio, ruled by Mars, will seek action to solve their emotional turmoil. This can be through busying themselves, though occasionally they turn to substances. They are, however, also ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation. As such, they have the ability to muster enough will power to move past their sorrow continue with their life.

Sagittarius

Optimism runs deep through the Archer, and as a mutable sign, they have a knack for bouncing back. When Sagittarius people are burdened by sorrow, they almost never show it. They choose instead to continue behaving upbeat, friendly, and chipper as ever. If it does ever become too much to handle, the only thing you’ll notice is that they won’t be as talkative as normal. They’ll withdraw into their thoughts, only speaking when spoken to, though their tone will remain light and happy. Those closest to a Sagittarius may be allowed a small insight into their misery, but it isn’t the most common occurrence.

Capricorn

Ever proud, the Sea Goat doesn’t often show signs of sorrow. Equipped with an unceasing gift of logic, many people assume they don’t feel such emotions (or any emotions). Since Capricorn’s are naturally aloof, they often withdraw due to negative emotions. They are not immune to sorrow, though, and are quite often touched by it. Similar to other Earth Signs, Capricorns will usually bury their emotions rather than deal with them up-front. They also don’t show people when they’re down, as they have a public image to preserve. Capricorn’s often try to use logic to expel their negative emotions. Things don’t always blow over as quickly as they like, but it doesn’t usually take very long at all. Capricorns, as mentioned, try to maintain their public image. So only those whom they are closest to will know that anything is wrong at all.

Aquarius

As the Fixed Air Sign, the water bearer doesn’t often feel sorrow too deeply. Usually this intellectual individual thinks through their problems until they find the solutions necessary. If there are people they are close with, and feel that they can open up to emotionally, they may talk out their problems as another way of finding a solution.When upset, Aquarius often uses their aloof nature to mask any sorrow. They’ll continue their philosophical debates and friendly conversations as if there’s nothing at all wrong with the world (save homelessness, and the other humanitarian causes they are involved in).

Pisces

The fishes feel every emotion intensely. When Sorrow has struck them, it tends to hit them hard.Pisces are stuck between to impulses, when burdened by misery. On one hand, they find it difficult to not wear their heart on their sleeves, and express their emotions. On the other, they don’t want to bother their loved ones, so may often try to bottle things up as an act of self-sacrifice.The Pisces individuals will often seek an escape, whether that’s through fantasy (books, movies, tv, etc) or temporary mood alteration (drugs, alcohol, etc).

What is your opinion on interpreting the houses by associating them with their correlating signs? For example, people who have a certain house in a planet are interpreted to have tendencies like the sign it correlates (house=sign). Is it really a rookie move to do so in interpretations? Or is there more validity than what people give credit for?

I think its a good way to start learning! Astrology is so vast and complex, I think its definitely important to start forging connections like that at the beginning. It will allow you to recall information more quickly. The more you learn and practice the more you will deviate from thinking house=sign, and more towards the true meaning of the houses (which are, in reality, associated with the signs!)

Can you talk about the signs and the affects depression has on them?

Okay, so depression is tricky because mental health is tricky. Everyone has different symptoms, and they can present differently in different people. 

Here’s what I do have for you:

Zodiac Signs and Sorrow

[astraltwelve]

not a question but more of a comment. I hate my natal chart! i’m literally drowning in water with being Cancer from sun all the way to mars including ascendant 😩😰

Oh no! Don’t hate your chart! Water is intense af because it is powerful af. Especially Cancer - the ocean of the zodiac. 

Look at these waves. It gives me chills. 

You are powerful.

Ask me your astrology questions!

My askbox is open to help me shake the dust off my astrology knowledge. 

Ask me things!

Could you do pro and con of relationships between the two: (1&2) (1&3) 1.Sun-Cap Moon-Aries Venus-Aqua Rising-Taurus, 2.Sun- Libra Moon-Pi Venus-Libra Rising- Cap 3. Sun-Pi Moon-Leo Venus-Pi Rising-Aqua

1&2 - 

Pros: Venus signs are trined; you relate to each others values and needs in relationships. Ascendant signs are trined; you take a similar approach to the world. 1′s sun sign is the same as 2′s ascendant; your external energy is very similar. 1′s Rising sign is inconjunct with 2′s Sun sign, and have the same ruling planet (Venus); you have very magnetic chemistry. 1′s Sun is Sextile 2′s Moon; 2 probably feels very attracted to 1.

Cons: Suns signs are squared; similar enough to be attracted, but prone to tension. Moon signs are neighbors; your emotional realms are incredibly different which can make each other hard to understand. 1′s Moon is opposite to 2′s sun - enough similarities to fuel attraction, but major differences may cause conflict.

Summary: I sense a lot of chemistry, and magnetic attraction. I am concerned that this is mostly surface level, and you may find deeply rooted differences that could cause a lot of tension.

1&3 - 

Pros: Sun signs are Sextile; a good balance of similarities and differences.  Moon signs are trined; very similar emotional energies and environments. 

Cons: Venus signs are neighbors; you have very different values and needs in relationships, probably speak different love languages. Ascendant signs are squared; same underlying motives, but different approaches to the world. Sun/Moon are either Inconjunct or neighbors; you have difficulty understanding each other at times.

Summary: I think you have a bit of differences that will make the initial phase a bit confusing - you relate deeply on certain things, but don’t understand each other in a lot of ways. I think if you take the time and slowly try to really understand and communicate with each other, this could be very good. Make sure you respect each others different values in relationships and try to find common ground.

Hello! How are you? I hope you're happy and healthy! I do have a question about compatibility that has been bothering me for a while. I find myself drawn to four signs; Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, and Cancer. I feel romantically drawn towards earth signs, and I make friends with Cancers easily. But why? I have a Pisces rising, Aries sun, Venus, Mercury, Virgo moon, Taurus Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Aquarius Uranus and Neptune, Sagittarius Pluto, and a North Node in Cancer. Does any of this make sense?

Yeah absolutely! With your Pisces ascendant, you present yourself a bit softer than other Aries Sun signs would. Combined with your Earth moon, you’re pretty grounded. 

However, you probably feel a lot of conflict - emotion vs logic wage wars in your head.

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, and Cancer emit energies of stability - something you probably crave deeply. 

Similarly, you emit energies of passion, and ambition that draw in Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, and Cancer, who sometimes have difficulty expressing passion as easy as you do.

I feel like you’re each looking for something in the other that you struggle to find in yourself.

[astraltwelve]

I think I'll start getting into astrology blogging again. I'm a bit rusty!

Ask my questions. I'll do research for answers.

I won't answer every single question since I work full time, and I'll likely delete compatability questions unless you have a specific question about it.

What is Astrology?

Astrology is the study of the movement of and relative positions of the planets through the Zodiac and how they are interpreted as having an effect on people. There are two basic systems of Astrology: Western/Tropical and Vedic. Both practice several different branches, including Natal, Horary, Electional, Mundane, Medical, Meteorological, and Agricultural.

My Sun, My Moon...

Fire Sun, Fire Moon: The Star

Individuals with this combination are enthusiastic, passionate, and active. They know what they want, and how to get it, and don’t hesitate in doing so. They can be rather egocentric and arrogant at times, but also have a genuine concern for their family, friends, and other loved ones, and have a knack for taking care of and protecting them.

Fire Sun, Earth Moon: The Meteorite

Charming and tactful, these individuals have the ambition and drive to attain anything they desire. They’re often torn between following impulses and thinking things through, and often succumb to the former. These individuals are strong and tough, though it may not always be apparent at first. They’re also very genuine and nurturing to those they care about.

Fire Sun, Air Moon: Heat Lightning

Energetic and spontaneous, those with this combination of Sun and Moon Signs radiate optimism. They’re active and tend to be rather extroverted. Sometimes rather unpredictable, and often quite hot-headed, these individuals can have intense mood shifts, but calm down rather quickly, too.

Fire Sun, Water Moon: The Obsidian

Individuals with this Sun and Moon combination are intense and passionate. They are compassionate, generous, and genuine. They have a soft side beneath their bravado, that only a select few get to see. They’re kind and sensitive, while remaining proud and true to who they are.

Earth Sun, Fire Moon: The Volcano

While individuals with this combination appear aloof and detached, there’s usually a fire burning within them waiting for the perfect moment to manifest itself. They’re the type of people who invest themselves into what they care about, the type to get things done. They can have rather explosive tempers, but it usually takes a lot to get them to that point.

Earth Sun, Earth Moon: The Plains

Strong and stable, these individuals aren’t prone to mood or personality shifts. They’re reliable and consistent. People with both their Sun and Moon in Earth Signs are also warm and nurturing, providing welcoming habitats for the loved ones in their lives - much like the fertile plains.

Earth Sun, Air Moon: The Cave System

These individuals are logical, through and through, relying mostly on what they know rather than what they feel. They can be rather complex, much like an underground labyrinth, and take patience and skills to navigate. They often appear aloof or otherwise unattached, but are easily brought back down to Earth.

Earth Sun, Water Moon: Underground Lake

On the surface, these individuals appear calm, cool, and collected, but often have much more going on internally than they let on. They often feel a struggle between emotion and logic, and prefer the latter. They tend to be rather secretive, but are compassionate, nurturing, and protective over their friends, family, and other loved ones.

Air Sun, Fire Moon: The Thunderstorm

Energetic, social, and passionate, individuals with this combination tend to enjoy life from center-stage. They’re passionate and driven, though often conflicted between following what they know and what they feel. They can be a bit unpredictable, much like a lightning strike. They often have a presence that makes itself known.

Air Sun, Earth Moon: The Tornado

Individuals with this combination of Sun and Moon Signs are known for their aloof and logical natures. They have an ability to be compassionate towards others, while still taking care of themselves. They’re determined, like the mighty Tornado, and nothing can stop them when they  set their mind on something.

Air Sun, Air Moon: Wind

Individuals who have both their Sun and Moon are social, and energetic. They have a lively nature to them, and thrive on intellectual stimulation. A bit unpredictable, these people can go from 0 to 60 in a relatively short amount of time, and sometimes the stimulus causing it is unapparent to everyone else.

Air Sun, Water Moon: Hurricane

Unpredictable and compassionate, individuals with this placement are known for following their own paths. These natives can be rather intense, and are known for fighting for the freedom they know they deserve. These individuals are a powerful and passionate blend of following what they know and what they feel.

Water Sun, Fire Moon: Hydro-thermal Vents

Individuals with this combination are passionate through to their core. They’re intuitive and impulsive, often acting based off of what they feel more than what they know. Similar to Hydro-thermal Vents (or Hot Water Vents), which are created by water being super heated by magma and then erupting from the vent, these individuals can be rather hot-headed, most often when they’re watery emotions are compromised.

Water Sun, Earth Moon: The Islands

Individuals with Water Suns and Earth Moons are a blend of emotion and logic. Much like underwater mountains rising up from beneath the waves of the Ocean, there’s an underlying steadiness to those who have this placement.

These people, much like tropical islands, are warm and welcoming, but are prone to stormy weather.

Water Sun, Air Moon: The Clouds

Individuals with a Sun in Water, and a Moon in Air are compassionate and friendly. Like the clouds gently drifting above, they have a knack for seeing everything. Their Watery intuition combined with their Airy logic gives them quite an insight into the affairs of others.

Similarly to clouds, these individuals can change with their moods. Sometimes they’re light and calm, other times dark and ominous of impending storms.

Water Sun, Water Moon: The Iceberg

Individuals with both their Sun and Moon in Water have a lot that lays under the surface. There’s much more to them than meets the eye - much like the Iceberg, where 85% of it’s mass resides below the surface of the water.

They tend to drift through the waves of the ocean peacefully, but can be lethal to those who underestimate them.
