During my teenage years I got this A LOT. I had an ease for schooling and learning, but then talking to me… I remember people looking confused, like I was saying the dumbest shit on earth

This used to be a common trope in 80s and 90s movies too, like a nerd who’s just an idiot and can’t pick up on basic things. I always felt that was me

Well turns out that’s just my autism and communication issues. I wanted to know if the same happened to you. It feels like relief, honestly

I genuinely believe that this is capitalism being smart. I don't remember consumption being this frenetic before TikTok appeared

It feels like women have been given this impossible expectations and insecurities, and we've gone the rout of buying our way out and elevating the ones who do. Idk, sucks ass.

Spending hoards of money trying to look like social media wants me to is not a bad thing if I do it cause I’m just a girl, right? it’s basically a feminist thing

I’d love to know what you prefer, asking as someone who doesn’t have enough experience with WHS to answer this question

So, for synastry, if you’ve ever compared both, which one resonated better?

I hope I’m explaining myself well, I personally have this in my chart if not mistaken. My Aries Venus is opposing both my Libra Saturn and Libra Pluto.

Being that they are in the sign of Libra, ruled by Venus, does that mean that my Venus is hosting the other two? How do I interpret this?? Seems difficult enough by itself

And I’d say even 2010 nostalgia. It seems like when the topic comes out irl older people are like yea in the 90s teenagers thought it was cool to sneak out at night and do neighborhood pranks and be edgy and stuff, or yea in the 00s we’d binge drink for days and had iPods

But from then on is like ‘the internet was so cool, tumblr was great, we didn’t have AI and old Minecraft was peak’ stuff like that.

Like today I saw a 2020 nostalgia video and it was just that hyper colorful filter. Do you think the same?

I feel like 1/3 looks like they’re from the 80s, like old mustache, old haircut, red shorts + sleeveless shirt

Then 1/3 looks like a 90s/early 00s emo skater

And 1/3 looks like you’d expect from someone in 2026

Why is that? I think it will be odd looking back at the pictures in 30 years or so. I know fashion is cyclical but I remember zero people from the 2010s that actually looked like they belong in a past decade. It seems super prominent now.

I’m not a millennial, but older Gen Z.

I could be totally wrong ab this, maybe it’s only because I’m not longer interacting with teenagers or 20 year olds, but I remember people were just coming off the ‘90s edge’ and man, some people were brutal

I remember there was something almost intimidating about the way guys expressed themselves, specially on the internet. Girls also seemed meaner overall

By the time I was a teen it wasn’t the same anymore and I think that nowadays even less

For those of you who work with younger people, is that true?

Based on your experience, do you believe Aquarius to be co-ruled, AKA related to Uranus? Or do you just stick with the traditional rulership (Saturn)?

I don’t find much common ground between Saturn and Aqua, since this sign is supposed to represent uniqueness and rebellion, basically the opposite of structure, laws, seriousness, etc. What do you think about it?

Of course it is a malefic no matter what, but still sometimes they don’t act like that, some people don’t have any major trouble with it. Like they have integrated their mars well and they can rely on it

So if yours has been a distinct problem in your chart, what makes you say so? what house and sign is it in? Are weakened mars easier on a person (libra, Taurus)?

I didn’t go into teaching but wanted to, so I jumped at the opportunity of subbing an extracurricular once a week when I got asked. I loved it, kids were awesome, all between 9 -12 years old

What caught my attention is how knowledgeable they are about sex that used to be “niche”. They made it very clear that this was stuff they’d watched with their own eyes instead of the classic gossiping and wondering of that age

For example (trigger: gross), >!they all make that choking sound, you know the one. They do the motion with an aggressive sound. Boys and girls, but boys a bit more often. They’re all daddy/choke me too. They are pornified!<

I don’t have a solution, i don’t know the psychological impact, I just wanted to rant. Parents are sweet and they’d never imagine, but something is so wrong, because it’s not normal to be so young and into aggressive stuff. Is your experience similar to mine? I finished after a few months and not going back, but some of you have taught for 15+ years.

I have seen the show 3 times and I absolutely love it. It’s truly irreplaceable in my eyes

However I find season 6 to be… not great. I don’t like the endless episodes of Emma’s tremors, I don’t like the Regina split (her character being morally complicated is the best part of the show!!), I didn’t connect emotionally with the characters in Aladdin, I don’t know why

Then s7 rolls around and none of the characters are the same. We have new protagonists. By this time I always find something else to do and I drop the show. Should I try again? Should I push through for the ending?? What’s your take? :)

I sure was, and im born in 2001.

Whenever I see someone say Gen Z got their childhood shaped by social media/the internet, people completely deny that and say that’s just Gen Alpha and we had the “last normal childhood”, makes me feel all left out lol,

I got a smartphone when I was 11 and had all my pictures on Facebook. And if I’m not wrong I’m even considered “old gen Z”. Like, someone born after me got iPads at that age

I feel most of us were kinda shaped by the internet, specially cause back then porn was like on YouTube. I wish it were different but I had friends in 7 grade that would send gore or porn.

Is this true for you??

Better people than me have gone through serious shit, recovered and came back stronger. Maybe that doesn’t happen to all people, maybe a minority of us just have a pointless life.

I got depressed at 9 y/o, I was neglected by my care givers, emotionally abused, not properly socialized, I basically didnt go hungry but the rest of my emotional and social development was actual shit. I’m an extreme, extreme avoidant and I’ve never had a relationship. Only close friendships when I was younger but I’m not capable of that anymore

On top of that I was born (like literally wtf) with chronic pain which has made my life hell. What’s the lesson from this? What would make me go “oh!! I see now, that’s why i had to go through this”. Idk this just sucks ass.

A lot of people say for women look at mars, for men look at venus ( to figure out what you like in a partner)

Other people believe venus is what you desire, mars is action you take towards that

What’s true for you? Because as an Aries venus I’m inclined to say that shit wins.

Basically I see beautiful women and I feel like shit. I compare myself to the most beautiful women I can think of/im friends with. I’m pretty average lol.

when I’m in a relationship I feel myself not wanting him to see pretty women like ever. I don’t bring it up it’s more of an internal thing but fuck it RUINS my life to see him talk to someone I feel i can’t compare to

And life isn’t a netflix show. Her being beautiful doesn’t make her boring/shallow. I literally know someone that looks like a thinner Sydney sweenie and she’s smart, cracks dad jokes, and is into all the traditional male hobbies like cars and stuff. Yk what I mean? I try to keep a positive outlook and go like hey I’m not getting into like basketball just to try and to more appealing. I gotta have my own thing not her thing. But still, I feel so worthless.

It’s just not something I’d say out loud because it might come off wrong. I’ll never EVER be such a scummy person as to do women wrong but fuckk do they make me insecure. Thankfully I don’t show it and I don’t have regrets!!!
