I don't know, at this point in my life I'm so confused with everything. It's that transition period I think. Either that or it's this sub pulling apart the knots in my mind that have held me back.
Winter has been incredibly depressing here. I'm pretty sure I suffer from seasonal affective disorder. I'm going to a holistic doctor soon, get my blood drawn, see what they have to say about vitamins and such. But even during the summer or spring, things were kind of bleak looking. Just in winter it's amplified more. I don't know how some people live in this kind of weather 24/7, I can't stand it.
The other day I was doing laundry and putting stuff away. And I just had this terrible feeling. I had to stop what I was doing and just lay there for a couple of minutes. It was like this overwhelming feeling where I just needed things to stop. It's like I need to do something, but at the same time there is just no energy for it. Just on days like that, it's this feeling of wanting to escape somehow, but you don't have an answer.
But something I realized. I was looking at old childhood pictures of myself and I was a really vibrant kid. My mom also had a natal chart reading done for me when I was younger. I don't know how accurate it was, or if this lady knew what she was talking about. But she essentially said I was going to be incredibly outgoing and balanced, very strong and able to bounce back emotionally. Meh, some of those people just say things to flatter individuals with their readings, but what got me was her saying I was more outgoing business oriented in the future. Obviously things can change, but I wonder if my true nature has been covered up. She did also say that my ego could be very easily damaged, water sign or something, very sensitive.
I'm not really gonna base my life off of an astrology reading, especially because I can't know the validity of it. But it was interesting to hear about it. It just made me realize maybe I've been assuming I'm a certain way when I've really just had my nature twisted around and messed up because of negative beliefs and life experience. It's just important to remember to always be open to anything that changes, and to understand that expectations aren't always correct. Basically what that boils down to is, focusing on self growth and developing into the person who I am, and not someone else who I think I should be.
I have no idea how accurate your natal chart is but in my experience even one done mainly with birth place, time of birth, and date of birth can be quite insightful.
Problem with people in general with astrology is that they "expect" everything to be absolutely exact. Most things in the world we measure are never exact and most views of the world and the things in it are "subjective" in nature.
Not trying to sell astrology to you but for me it helps me assess strengths and weaknesses in my character and talents/motivations in life. Some good things dont apply to me and some bad things in it dont apply to me either. I wouldnt plan my life around astrology. It would be too much at that point.
You seem very introspective like myself so it should be easy to see what things in any measurement device apply to you and also those that dont also.
I'm going to review it again some day. It's a recording of a conversation between the woman and my mom, so it's not super straightforward, but it touches upon everything. I'm sure I'll be able to pull something out of it that I'd find useful.
