This Mercury Rx is giving me my own Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind moment

For context this Mercury Rx in 25° Cancer is happening in my 6H, opposing my 12H Capricorn Moon in 29° and 23° Uranus in the same sign and house, trine my NN in 29° and Pluto in 27° both in Scorpio 10H.

I've been through a lot 2 months before this retrograde happened (transiting NN conjunct my chart ruler Saturn in Pisces, but now, it's separating). Lots of betrayal, month-long sickness, my family shamed me for not earning much, deaths... And then the pattern just died down.

I was expecting even more mental torture (due to the opposition and aspect to Pluto), but for some reason my Psyche just stopped giving a damn, and now I couldn't even remember how this certain person looks like.

They did the worst, even traumatized me as they were leaving less than a month ago (I think almost 3 weeks ago?), but now I can't remember how they look, how they sound, could barely even remember their name unless I'll see it.

I could barely remember them, that I think if I'll ever saw them nearby, I wouldn't remember them.

It's literally like "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" moment. And honestly, looking back, my brain could barely remember the details of the people who harmed me. It's like my brain just slowly hid their file somewhere.

For those wondering, my natal Mercury is in Pisces 2H, conjunct my Saturn in Pisces and in exact opposition to my Chiron rx in Virgo, 8H.

The Tacloban School Shooting Event Chart, Fixed Star Algol, and the Nodal Square

Hi everyone,

First I just want to say that this is probably one of the most heartbreaking incidents in my country. The videos circulating online of a student preventing the perpetrators from entering their classroom, injuring himself in the process, which also caused their life is an image that would forever haunt my mind.

It's really sad that a young kid with still a bright future ahead of them had to become a hero because of malicious beings craving the spotlight.

This post is about the astrological breakdown of the event chart for the recent school shooting in Tacloban, Philippines.

This is the event details:

Date: June 22, 2026 Time: 9:20 am (UTC +8:00) Place: Tacloban, Philippines

Before diving into the analysis, here is the critical background context of the event itself:

The Event:

A devastating, premeditated school campus massacre that resulted in the loss of innocent lives, including that of a student who died acting as a human shield to protect his classmates. Crucially, this is the first time a mass school shooting has ever happened in the history of this country.

The Perpetrators:*

Two highly calculated minors (ages 14 and 15) who, according to the Department of Justice investigations, were radicalized online by studying foreign massacres, specifically showing patterns of Nihilistic Violent Extremism (NVE).

The Legal Loophole:

The central axis of national outrage stems from the country's juvenile justice law (RA 9344). The perpetrators actively audited the statutory age limits, bragging that because of their exact ages, they are technically exempt from criminal accountability. They calculated that even with mandatory institutional intervention, they will simply be released back into public life by the age of 18 to 21.

The Weapon:

The assault was executed using a service firearm explicitly stolen from a family member (the 15-year-old suspect's aunt, who is a law enforcement officer who had recently passed the bar exam), and another gun from a security agency.

The Leaked Communications:

Leaked Messenger chat logs exposed a terrifying level of psychopathy. The perpetrators actively mocked the legal system, stating that the “punishment” didn't matter as long as they got to kill people. Horror of horrors, the logs explicitly revealed a desire and intent to commit mass murder again after their eventual legal release.


Structural Analysis of the Chart

The Event:

25°36’ Leo rising, sitting on 1°55 Virgo True SN in the first house

The chart ruler’s (Sun) t-square - Sun is in 0°40’ Cancer in 11H, in applying square to Neptune in 4°21’ Aries in 8H; Sun is also in separating square with Moon in 2°21’ Libra, 2H

The chart ruler is sitting in the house of community, networks, higher aspirations, in the sign of the caring and maternal Cancer.

The event happened in the early morning of Monday, 9:20 am inside the school premises.

Unbeknownst to everyone, this quiet and peaceful morning is heading (applying square) to the unprecedented betrayal and violence by the dark, drunk and malicious Neptune in Aries, 8H, the house of death and rebirth.

Fueled by the active departure of harmony, balance and institutional law (Libra Moon separating from the Sun).

This incident took the lives of 3 innocent students, injuring 20 more.

According to wikipedia:

“The suspects opened fire at around 9:20 a.m. while classes were ongoing.

The students at the campus were originally unsure of what was happening before panicking.

According to the investigator's interview, the suspects scampered off after firing shots, unsuccessful in hitting their targets.”

And while reading this wikipedia page, I stumbled upon something that perfectly mirrors the 2H Libra Moon (ironically, the 12H ruler; 12H being associated with hidden enemies and blindspots), separating from the 11H Cancer Sun:

“After the police received information that the second suspect was hiding in his house, they arrived at the residence at 10 a.m. The suspect did not leave the house, leading the police to leave, but a neighboring tricycle driver escorted the suspect to the police station.”

The law enforcers themselves failed at arresting the suspect, leading the “community” to stand their ground and complete the arrest.

In the viral video showing the arrest of the second suspect, it was the neighborhood men (citizen’s arrest) who negotiated with the suspect, told them to surrender the gun (the exact wording is, “throw your gun in the grass area”), asked them to remove their shirt, ensuring that there is no other weapon that can be used against them.

12H Cancer has Jupiter in 28°16’ conjunct (applying) with Mercury in 24°01’ Cancer in 11H (also the 11H ruler), which tells me that despite the failure of the law enforcers in arresting the second suspect, with the swift action of the community (11H Mercury in Cancer), the second suspect was still arrested.

The Gun

One of the guns was stolen from one the perpetrator’s aunt in law enforcement, who recently passed the bar, mirroring another 2H Libra Moon theme, with separating square from the Sun in 11H Cancer theme. Reiterating the failure of a law enforcer (who is also a lawyer) to secure their own service firearm.

The Psychology of the Brag

The 3rd House sits in Libra (communication intersecting directly with the law/justice frameworks), while the 3rd House ruler, Venus, is hidden away at 9°58’ Leo in the 12th House (hidden spaces, psychological decay, confinement).

This perfectly mirrors the precise mechanics of the leaked chat logs: an intense, narcissistic and deeply disturbing desire to brag, that because of their ages, 14 & 15, they are immune from the actual heavy accountability from the law.

I wouldn't be surprised if these two teenagers purposely kept their communications intact, showing how they're openly mocking the law that was supposed to be protecting the community from malicious actors like them.

Venus in Leo 12H, represents the narcissistic Leo ego demanding a stage, but building that stage entirely out of a perverted, calculated exploitation of the legal system (Libra).

The 9H/MC Algol Sandwich: Foreign Radicalization

The Midheaven sits at 27°31’ Taurus and Mars sits at 25°09’ Taurus in the 9th House. This means Fixed Star Algol (26° Taurus), associated historically with decapitation, extreme violence, and ruthlessness, is tightly sandwiched between Mars (violence, firearms) and the MC (the public manifestation/zenith of the event).

As this alignment occurs in the 9th House (foreign lands, foreign philosophy, imported ideologies), the incident mirrors the speculations that this incident is heavily inspired by foreign school massacres the perpetrators studied online.

Mars conjunct Algol in the 9th literally reads as extreme, cold-blooded violence born from an imported, toxic ideological framework.

The MC ruler, the isolated ego with malice

Expanding on the MC ruler, again, Venus in the 12th House Leo is in a separating opposition to Pluto Rx at 5°03’ Aquarius in the 6th House.

Instead of bowing their head, embracing the humbling shadow work of the 6th house Pluto by focusing on routine, duty, or daily accountability of a student, the isolated 12H Leo Venus showed a desperation and desire for notoriety at the chilling expense of human lives.

The perpetrators explicitly stated that their primary goal was simply to kill people, and they were still planning to repeat the incident, showcases a hidden ego operating in the "shadows".

Uranus in the 10H Gemini

At the highest peak of the chart, is the sudden and shocking (Uranus as the planet of surprise) collapse of the institution (the MC as the institution, the public) at the hands of 2 kids (Gemini as the twin). It highlights the rare, deeply unsettling nature of this crime involving two minors acting in tandem, completely destabilizing the nation's collective sense of safety and fueling an endless national conversation (Gemini as the messenger).

Mercury Square Vertex - The tragic event against the community

The 11th house cusp is ruled by Mercury. Mercury sits at 24°01’ Cancer (11H) in an exact, tight square to the Vertex at 24°35’ Aries in the 8th House.

An unavoidable violence inflicted (8H Vextex in Aries) by minors, to their fellow students (Mercury also represents the youth) in their community/school grounds.

The Nodal Square

Finally, Uranus at 3° Gemini squares the Nodal Axis (North Node 1° Pisces in the 7th, South Node 1° Virgo in the 1st). When a planet squares the nodes, it indicates a collective "skipped lesson" or systemic bottleneck.

South Node in Virgo (1st House): - Relies on sterile, hyper-bureaucratic complacency, rigid legal frameworks, and the illusion that existing checklists are sufficient safeguards.

North Node in Pisces (7th House):- Forces a terrifying plunge into the unknown, demanding the acknowledgement of boundaryless (loopholes in the existing law) chaotic mutations of modern violence and our shared vulnerability with others.

Uranus has violently shattered the comfort of the Virgo South Node, leaving the public completely blindsided and forcing a shift toward the uncertain reality of the Pisces North Node.

This is reinforced by Uranus opposing a stationary Black Moon Lilith at 8°05’ Sagittarius in the 4th House, indicating a deeply sinister, opportunistic manipulation of ideology at the very root of the domestic sphere.

What's the most unexpectedly romantic gesture someone has done for you and what's your Venus and their Venus?

I have an Aquarius Venus.

Last year, exactly on my birthday, I had the worst stomach flu of my life. I was sick in bed for 5 days.

Then a Capricorn Venus guy message me, told me that they heard I'm sick so they made something with chickpeas for me as they believe chickpeas is good for digestion. And I was like... Can I have you forever? Lol.

Happy 12th year anniversary, WR!

Dear WR,

For years, you spun a dark fairy tale. You built a castle out of empty promises, fake identities, and illusions, and you used my empathy to lock me inside it. I was only 20 years old. I was naive enough to mistake my pity for love, and you were cruel enough to exploit that until I was completely drained -- emotionally, mentally, and financially.

While you hid behind your convenient telecom blackouts and sob stories, I was the one sacrificing my real-world resources for a ghost.

The most pathetic part of your delusion though, was your entitlement. Spreading my private pictures and then cowing away -- blocking me on WhatsApp every single time I confronted you, showed exactly who you are. You aren’t a king, and you never were. You are a weak, insecure coward who had to violate my privacy and steal my light just to feel powerful.

You thought you caged me, but you only exposed how deeply broken you are.

You told me I couldn't live without a man in my life, guess what? I didn't need a man to ensure my younger sister would finish college with flying colors, I didn't need a man to secure our own house, I didn't need a man to survive all these years. 🫠

Leaving you didn’t break my heart; it woke me up. The second I stepped out of your fake castle, the fog cleared. I realized that my love, my money, and my friends are real, and online debates are definitely more fun and fulfilling than listening to all your delusions lmao.

Your entire life is a lie.

I don't hold anger for you anymore because you simply aren't worth the energy. I am completely free, completely happy on my own, and you are still trapped in the absolute wreckage of your own identity.

What are the red flags in this synastry?

I am the outer wheel (orange), and an ex-friend is the inner wheel (blue).

What we had is incredibly toxic connection, with so much emotional and verbally abuse on their side, despite the "I wish all the best" wordings from them.

I havent met anyone as two-faced, as backstabber, as malicious as this person.

I would understand all the things he did to me if he was someone I dated and I hurt because of jealousy or any stronger emotions, but this person is not even my boyfriend, yet whenever they're perceiving that I have other friends/talking to other people other than them, they're hurting me and betraying me in the worst way possible ever.

I asked them out before so they can atleast have some justification of when they're being possessive and jealous, but they rejected me twice, and everytime we were fighting, they would tell me that "You really don't love me", like what the hell?

During the Gemini New Moon, which happened exactly on their rising/SN, they sent me a frantic and ridiculous message, which I initially thought as an actual emergency or an emotionally abusive ghosting tactic.

They know I would be extremely worried because I'm clinically diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and they still sent me that message that would be 100% triggering all my fears and trauma.

Like if you want to ghost someone/hurt someone, why overly complicate it? Why don't you just block me as what he'd been saying to me before?

The worst thing is, he did it knowing I'll be going to the hospital because I was extreme sick then, that I literally passed out after talking to them earlier that day.

When I seek external help because of their messages, they harassed me here in Reddit, using a dummy account.

I have been in 8H synastry before, but no one is as worse and abusive as this person.

I'm not going to detail everything, but I'd literally nope tf out if I'll meet someone with similar placements as this.

Have you ever experienced burnout from advocating for other people?

Aquarius is known for being helpful and for advocating for other people, especially when they're sensing injustice, neglect (self-imposed or not) and anything that's becoming abusive to everyone.

But have you ever felt like you're the only one doing all of that, and the other person/other people doesn't really care, or worse, is not even helping themselves get out of the harmful situation?

Have you ever felt unmotivated because it feels like you're the only one noticing the problem, and worse, there are people who are literally shaming you for doing something about it?

Is it a common Aquarius dilemma that one moment I was doing all that I can to help someone, to a complete withdrawal and apathy because I was shamed for trying to help?

How common is a major Mercury transits in death charts?

I have been reading a lot of death charts last year and what I noticed is that a lot of them has prominent Mercury + Saturn transits, but most of them are following whatever theme is also in their 4H.

4H is not just the roots, home, family, but is also the final resting place, so when I'm reading death charts, I'm also looking at the 4H and what's happening there along with Mercury (Psychopomp) and Saturn (limitations, restrictions, Karma), but 2 deaths happened in my family this year (actually there is another death chart that I was also asked to read), but none of them has the common transits for death.

How common it is for Scorpio Moons to fake a crisis just because they want to get rid of people?

I know that most Scorpio Moons are struggling with maternal relationship, and based on what I know with this Scorpio Moon person, they were generally invisible to their mother before their father passed away.

I know I'm not in the position to judge, but I find their mother highly detached before their father passed away, but when he did, she seemed to have shifted her attention to this Scorpio Moon person.

The Scorpio Moon person is visibly struggling because of an overwhelming workload in their everyday life (Pluto is in the 6H) and when they called their mother to vent, the call and their conversation shifted to how lonely she is now because she was expecting his father to be there on her retirement.

Now my connection with this person is not perfect. We are always fighting because they're very avoidant and it's really annoying when you are advocating for them but they're letting everyone else walk all over them.

So when they sent me a distressing message almost a week ago, saying their "family" is taking over their life, because their worried about them, I don't know if I'm being ghosted and emotionally manipulated at the same time, or their family is really that controlling that they were taking all their communication devices (which is never normal unless they are in active crisis, and they were not based on their message) and isolating them from the world.

This Scorpio Moon person has 12H transits when it happened (Sun, Moon, Mars, Uranus), with the new Moon in Gemini happening exactly on their South Node and rising.

I think I did what I can do to ensure their welfare (alerted their friends and asked them to also check on them, then later escalated it to the authorities, even though I'm abroad and it's a real pain in the ass to handle it all), so if they are genuinely under crisis, I think I did what I can do, and if they're faking it, atleast I prioritized their safety.

At this point, I can say that I'm also heavily traumatized. I also removed all my communication apps after telling my friends that I just need time for myself.

My Jupiter is in Scorpio and is exactly conjunct their Scorpio Moon, if that also matters.

When my nephew died...

I was stuck in my home in Laguna. I wasn't even able to see him in the hospital.

They said he died in his sleep, but after all the things that happened, the lack of autopsy, and the questionable circumstances about his death, I don't know.

It was around the late morning of January 31, 2026. I was talking/arguing with someone because it's so hard to talk to them, I'm feeling really sick but I had a weird dream that day, surprisingly, very calming.

The news was shared to me at around 2pm and I kept asking them what happened, what caused it. I was given multiple variations of the events, and I think it helps that I was not in the hospital or I would also be forgetting how bizarre the "official" story was.

I cried the whole afternoon, then evening came, I forgot to even have dinner. I was so hurt and so sad, I forgot my own needs.

At around 11pm, one of my friends talked to me and I am still not telling them what happened, when I heard some really loud noise outside my house. Someone is shaking my gate so violently, it's like someone is asking to be invited inside.

Idk how long it lasted, but it's really loud and scary. Then what followed is something that Im no longer sure of because I was passing out from exhaustion.

I can hear knocking on my front door. Silent knocks, as if someone respects the fact that whoever is inside is already resting. These knocks lasted for hours and it's only just one 2 or 3 knocks.

Around 2 or 3 am, I stood up and no one is knocking anymore but I still did what I know would calm them, I turned on every lights in my house because I know he's afraid of the dark (he always sleep with lights on).

Another night later, I told my sister about what happened and how funny it is that he was a ghost now but he's scared of the dark, what her reply confirmed my suspicion.

Apparently, the same time I was sharing the story to my sister, the CCTV in my nephew's house was turned off. His sister and brother in law (his housemates), had to go home and check it personally because they have valuable items in the house.

When they reached their home, all the lights are turned off (as a respect to his memory, they have all the lights turned on, but they forgot to turn on the lights in his room), except for the lights in his room. When he was still alive and he was alone in the house, that's what he's normally doing.

The following night, was finally able to see him and I watched over him the entire afternoon and night, and I would invite him to have dinner, would ask him how is it and I'm hoping wherever he is, there is always lights everywhere, so he wouldn't be scared.

When I finally fell asleep, I dreamed about him (I'm still in the funeral home), and we were in that funeral home, and he was saying that I shouldnt believe their accusations against him. He just keep on telling me if his character was really like that and I was too stunned to speak.

Even when I finally woke up, I can still hear his voice.

While we were having breakfast, while still watching over him, my sister said that we should have some boardgames, and I agreed by saying, "yeah, we should have Ouija boards".

We're literally sitting in front of his coffin and honestly, after his death, I do understand why some people would be leaning on using Ouija boards.

More and more people are coming, with some even saying that he was calling them, that's why they're rushing to see him before he's buried. Like there is this urgency that people should talk to him while he still looks fresh and himself.

The entire funeral is painful, but solemn and very respectful. It's just really weird how almost everyone dreamed about him or he haunted them, especially when everyone knows that he was a huge scaredy cat.

And oh, regarding ouija? A few months later, one of my nephews (5) was talking to a character AI character, I think Sonic, when my sister heard the character repeatedly ask a name that was never mentioned by anyone in that household.

It's my nephew's nickname, the dead one. Sonic was asking who he is and why his name kept on being mentioned.

My sister reviewed the chat history and that question from Sonic was not there, but there's a chat about someone saying that he is dead and he hates where he is, repeatedly.

That wherever he is, it's really dark and he is dead but he hates it there.

It's been months, I was no longer dreaming about him, but I would still occasionally see him staring at me from my own fronthouse window. It's like he was judging my life decisions.

I'm hoping wherever he was, he's happier though. And because I know he hates the dark, all the lights in my house are all still turned on every night.

A month before pandemic started I started a new job with a bunch of Aquarians.

I dunno I just find it fascinating that before pandemic started, I was in a new job with a bunch of Aquarians, 9 out of my 26 colleagues are Aquarius peeps. Most of them are very introverted, always keeping to themselves and it also affected everyone in a way.

We don't have office gossips, drama, everyone is just doing their own thing when there's downtime and most Aquarius are just doing their respective artworks in Paint.

Our manager (Virgo) even noted that we are the most unique batch of employees she ever worked with, then she would silently chuckle while looking at everyone, but imagining it in her POV, I can see why it's amusing and funny to her, it's like we were all in a rehabilitation center, doing ✨art therapy✨.

We do have an extroverted Aquarian. He's the one that started this ✨art therapy✨, making "family pictures" of everyone, making portraits of everyone in paint, giving us all with the wildest hair colors he can think of lol.

And no, we didn't know that there would be a lockdown around that time, in fact, we were rushing to go home when lockdown was implemented in our country because we were still out on a trip in a mountain resort hours before the actual lockdown started.

I wish someone was able to keep the copies of our ✨artworks✨ though.

I tried to save my friend’s life from overseas. It turns out the entire "crisis" was a sick manipulation tactic.

I need to get this off my chest because I feel physically sick, heavily manipulated, and incredibly hurt. I am clinically diagnosed with anxiety and severe depression, and someone I considered a close friend just weaponized that to play a cruel psychological game with me.

This morning, my friend (a 34-year-old hotel manager who drives a luxury car and has zero cognitive impairments) sent me a frantic "goodbye" text. He claimed his family was suddenly staging an intervention, calling his phone a "family phone," and confiscating it to prevent a relapse. He claimed he was typing the message "under supervision" and begged me, "Please don't expose or hurt me, remember the good times." He then went completely silent.

I am not a heartless person. he has a history of self-harm, has a weird living situation with his family, I panicked. Specifically by the fact, that this is a grownass man, with a stable job, his own money, telling me that he lost his agency over his life and he surrendered his phone to his "family", so I panicked, because it sounds really serious and alarming.

I am overseas, so I tried calling local authorities and helplines in his area for a wellness check, but every single one required a local phone number. I couldn't get through.

In a state of absolute desperation, spiraling and having an anxiety attack, I did what any decent person would do, I reached out to his local circle and an ex, politely explaining that he sent an alarming message, was unreachable, and asked if someone closer could please do a temporary wellness check.

I was so distressed that I posted in a self-harm prevention forum looking for support. Within minutes, a random account commented, harshly lecturing me. They told me I violated his privacy, shouldn't have messaged his ex, and said, "Honestly, If I was him, I would feel incredibly exposed and probably stop talking to you for good... this whole story sounds weird." Immediately after, they downvoted me, deleted the comment, and blocked me.

But they made a massive, undeniable Freudian slip.

The Word "Exposed" - I never used the word "expose" in my Reddit post. My friend, on the otherhand, used that exact word in his text to me just hours prior.

The Threat - A random internet stranger has no reason to threaten that they would "stop talking to me for good." This a highly personal threat disguised as an opinion.

The "Weird" Story - they called the story weird, and it is, but having a firsthand account of DV situations (I was working with DV victims before, domestic abuse is not only physical, but is also psychological, emotional and financial, what he described doesn't sound like someone who is undergoing an intervention, but someone surrendering their entire agency even without any known cognitive impairment, like he is literally managing a hotel).

The Logistics- if his phone was truly confiscated by a strict family intervention, how did he manage to find my specific Reddit post, comment, and block me within hours? Speculative, I know but the commenter gave me enough reason to think that he is that person.

He wasn't in a drug crisis. He was monitoring my digital footprint. He wanted to drop an emotional bomb on me, leave me spiraling with guilt, and walk away looking like a tragic victim. The second I brought real-world consequences into his play-act by messaging his friends, he panicked because his lie was about to be exposed to people who actually know him.

He created a fake suicide and relapse crisis just to mess with my head, and then stalked my profile to punish me for trying to save his life.

I am posting this because I am done. I am done playing a role in a script I never signed up for. I acted with genuine empathy and care, and he acted with calculation and malice. You didn't break me. You just exposed yourself.

My friend with Libra Sun, Scorpio Moon sent this while I'm sleeping and before his work started today.

For context, my friend and I has a toxic relationship.

We were always fighting and he was always accusing me that I'm going to sabotage him because I know his secrets.

Knowing his secrets didn't stop him from doing questionable things in the past. I saw him sabotaged his own life like walking long hours (3hrs) in a winter night, every night, while on substance (THC) after his long, tiring shifts at work (he is working in service industry).

He is living in a family home with his younger brother and his fiancee. One thing I find odd is that he would sometimes refer to them as his "roommates" and sometimes, just my brother or my brother's wife. Sometimes mentioning their names.

He told me before that his brother knows his long walks at night and they had an agreement that he would pick him up if he won't be home at a certain time. So that seems fine, but he would also complain that he couldn't feel his legs and that he could barely walk. Like why are you torturing yourself? Also in that moment, an actual crisis, his family hasn't intervene?

It was also during the time that his ex-gf ghosted him and his father recently passed away, so it was depression/substance abuse/borderline self-harm.

That was almost 6 months ago.

Now, Summer, we were still arguing, but apparently, he was already clean since March. I noticed that he is no longer lashing out that much or was saying some really mean things. So the arguments is no longer as bad as they were 6 or 5 months ago.

Last month, we had an agreement, I'm no longer going to bring up all the bad things he did in the past, things that are very hurtful and he has never taken accountability for (he's always brushing them off/dodging the conversations about them), if he can atleast be a decent person for 3 months.

A decent person don't make up lies (he would lie a lot, even unnecessary ones), don't make things that are going to be hurtful for anyone, don't twist people's words (he would take my genuine concerns for his health against me, like when I asked him if he can atleast ask his boss when he can have a day off because he has been working for straight up 1 week, but he took it as me asking him to quit his job. Or when I call him out because he even asked his boss to adjust his schedule so he can go to a concert with his mom, because apparently, his mom can't go to a benefit concert alone before her retirement, even though he has been working 12 or more hours per day for straight up 8 or 9 days at the point), and so on.

He said it seems doable but later on, said he can't do it, and he would say that he just want an out.

Part of what we agreed on is that after 3 months, we'll finally go on no contact and he would say he doesn't really want that, but he thinks it's necessary and we both agreed.

During all these fights he would also say that he just wants to be friends with me on equal footing, he wants me to be happy and he cares a lot about me, even says that he would hug me as a peace treaty if I'm not living on the opposite side of Pacific Ocean.

And then he just sent that message all of a sudden after our normal conversation in the morning.

My initial instinct is to call BS on this message because of his history of lying (Gemini rising, Mercury in Libra, square Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn), but there are also serious red flags in his message.

First things first, his family taking his phone?

He is a grownass adult. A 34-year old man, managing a luxury hotel, who needs consistent access to his phone because his supervisors and boss are calling him even after work.

He says his phone is a family phone. Like what? He has thousands of savings in the bank, owns a really expensive car, but he does live with his brother in a house with no proper ventilation (he says he doesn't have an AC on his room, not even a fan, so when the weather is really warm, he would feel jealous with houses with AC. He says, sometimes he would come over his parents house because they atleast have a pool and an AC).

There are things I have been asking him before, like why is he living like this, not even a fan in his room (I suggested he get one when it was really hot in his room and he was complaining how warm it is, that's why he would keep his dog on the floor, sometimes, even join him, just not to feel the heat), but he was brushing it off, saying even when he finally have a new gf, she must also endure his living situation, like wut?

He can book thousands of dollars of trips abroad, but couldn't even get a fan for his room? Couldn't even have his room properly ventilated, calls his phone a family phone?

Sorry I was mumbling and I'm probably not making sense but I think his message is really odd.

Like is it even normal for his family to take his phone like he is a 12-year old kid, even supervising his messages when he is managing a hotel? Like wut?

If this is just him making up a really ridiculous story, then I'm losing all my respect for him and I'd rather not talk to him forever.

I just find this both outrageous and alarming at the same time and I don't know if this any Scorpio Moons can share their thoughts on this.

If you have questions about his relationship with his mom, there are some things that are indeed kind of alarming but I'm probably just reading too much on it.

Thank you everyone.

How are you preventing your astrology beliefs from turning into magical thinking?

I have been reading lots of charts for years, even offered paid readings, and there is always this one thing I was reminding my clients, that they should not 100% rely on astrology, that they have freewill, and instead use the readings as an advice tool, not something that will happen 100%, but a possibility, if they're not self-aware enough. And that they should always follow the safest, most logical decision instead of diving into something (most of the time, relationship issues) just because the reading or charts look promising.

At the end of day, our charts is just a part of our existence, it doesn't dictate who we actually are in the 3D or what we're going to be exactly in the 3D. It's more of a framework, and frameworks can always turn into a thousand different things depending on the mold and the need of the situation (our genetics, environment, etc).

The reason of my post is that, there are times that I'm reading some worrying posts and comments, saying if things are not working, then (insert excuses/fallacies) just to fit a certain narrative, which is kind of reminding me of magical thinking. 😔

We all have our own biases, our backgrounds, preconceived notions, but when something is turning into <I'll fit whatever BS to this because it has to conform into my belief>, that's where we should be drawing the line.

Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart. It’s a shame I couldn’t make the memory permanent, but the image of you playing Vogel im Käfig on your guitar, while I was barely paying attention, and nobody else even noticed you, will forever be etched in my mind.

Then I walked by and exclaimed, “Vogel im Käfig?”

And you smiled and said, “Yes, Vogel im Käfig, such a beautiful song.”

I wish I could watch you play it again and again. It feels like our secret song, our shared sadness, regret, and rebellion.

I hope that wherever you are, you’re happier, twin. 😊

For context, I'm an Aquarius Sun, Venus, Mars, and rising, making my angular houses (IC/DC/MC) in fixed signs.

My MC is Scorpio with Jupiter conjunct MC, but I also have Pluto and North Node in Scorpio, 10H.

I also have asteroid Asmodeus in Scorpio, conjunct my MC, and though asteroids is not much of a major thing in astrology, the fact that Asmodeus is linked to the sacrificial lamb is eerily reflecting on my life trajectory too (kind of my MC).

A lot of people says that Aquarius are just rebels without a cause or that we're just rebellious just because we're contrarians but that's inherently wrong.

Unpopular opinion, but we may not be 100% right all the time, but we always fight for what we think is right, whether that's objectively right or not is debatable, but the passion to correct an injustice is not because we just want to play the devil's advocate.

Recently, I dealt with someone whom I believe heavily projected on me and blamed me for a lot of things I'm not doing/haven't done/never had a history of doing, and it caused me to go no-contact with this person.

I believe I gave them all the time to clarify their thought process, but it ended up with what they felt>the reality of the situation.

I felt crucified, felt like I was the sacrificial lamb, turned into a punching bag, into someone that's just always angry, because they're always conveniently forgetting the context of why we were even talking.

I know I'll never have this person's perception of me, including the accusations thrown (that's why the contact was permanently severed), but I just keep on crying and getting hurt because of how unfair it all felt.

I'm not expecting an actual apology. They apologized but they only said, "I'm sorry for what I did but-" then they would proceed on justifying their actions, so it's overall a non-apology, which doesnt really matter to me. I don't need it. I just need to learn how to detached from this situation because it's not helping me and it's just keeping me stuck.

It's crazy because I also have a Capricorn Moon, which is not really a "feeler" kind of Moon, but yeah, I'm stuck here.

I never told anyone what happened, never written anything about it somewhere, never vented on anyone until this post.

Any insights is highly appreciated. Thank you.
