When doing something like a cord cutting from family/blood relatives, is it a different kind of ball game compared to non relatives or can I treat it the same way?
Also for cloaking, does it go the same way for my immediate family. Being able to go COMPLETELY under the radar would help me get away from these people immensely. I’ve done so much protection, banishing and returning their ill intent work
It’s working but I’m realising they are also intuitive enough to pick up on what I might have going on, even if I don’t mention a thing or straight up lie.

The willpower for their jealousy is strong and as soon as they catch wind of something it goes wrong for me, so I’m thinking the cord cutting and cloaking myself might help me get ahead and get out as soon as I can!

I’m also open to suggestions to help or an alternate route to take. Completely starting my own path furthest from them as possible means so much to me so any help is appreciated

Retrograding planets, how could the transiting planet affect negative or positive aspects in a chart and the planet transiting a natal planet?
If the retrograding planet doesn’t aspect anything does it impact the chart, house etc.
How do you read this or from experience, how might these things show up in the mundane or affect a chart?
I feel like I have a grasp on the basics of charts but transits and aspects I’m still trying to learn.

Any pointers on websites or book recommendations are helpful! Feeling a little bit lost or there are so many different explanations on the one topic.

I’ve been experimenting with transmutation wards and spells for any energy sent towards me, they seem to be doing well, all within what is in alignment with me ofc.

But I live in a household where there is so much negativity that’s just thrown around, they all bond over their negativity (basically free game for energy), they really enjoy being negative.
I unfortunately don’t have any options to leave and live on my own due to the general cost of housing in my area and my current study + work balance.
My targeted spells for specific people giving me ill intent do work, still working but I feel like I can do more or upgrade my practice.

I guess the basis of my question is, can I use energy that isn’t directed at me/for me? Or if it’s causing me minor problems that aren’t inherently bad but just annoying to have to be around, losing sleep etc.
I feel like I’m missing an opportunity to utilise the freely given energy- if I’ve been misinformed on energy work please correct me!

Eg:
To utilise the negativity around me, as an example could I just do a normal transmutation jar for the energy in the house to turn into more money opportunities or that energy into making my passive income increase for me- something tangible.
Leave the ward in my room etc?
Considering any implications I should consider,
materials etc.
