I’ve been watching True Blood and really enjoying it (Season Two) and waiting for my next discs to arrive in the mail.
And it was a Vampy metaphor that came to mind today when I was thinking about the 2-hour Astrology Lesson I gave yesterday.
This is what I typed in draft form in my (still hard to use) phone “Drain the energy like blood i.e. clear the energy out.”
See, this is why I don’t read books on the train lately. When I do a lot of readings or like yesterday, meet 1:1 with a person, I’m downloading their stuff (during the reading) and then the next part of the process, at some point, is to clear their stuff. Drain it out. Like the Vampire drains the lifeforce from um someone.
Yes yes yes yes I know it’s a repulsive metaphor…
But listen: your stuff is precious stuff. But the thing is this, peeps who do readings: they pick up your stuff and then they need to put your stuff down. It’s a little like… stepping into someone’s body and walking around in there. And to use another True Blood reference, last night I was trying to figure out if I was reading her thoughts at certain points or if those things I was thinking were my own thoughts! I wasn’t quite sure. Maybe a little of both. All I know is this process (Virgo) fascinates (Pluto) me endlessly (Pluto).
My Moon Pluto conjunction acts as a receiver, tuning in. And of course there are other chart configurations or placements that can receive like this. A stacked 8th house for example.
Everyone’s got their psychic sense or instinct somewhere in their chart. The difference is in how it manifests and when, and if they choose to work with it, direct it, strengthen it, etc.
Moon still in Cancer, by the way, heading to square Saturn — so if you feel gloomy at all, know that it’ll pass (the Moon moves fast) and that sticking close to home may make you feel better, more secure.
By the way, if you have Moon square Saturn in your natal, you will be feeling this transit more intensely than most so, again, hug your teddy bear and know that Moon in Leo is coming, baby!
Do you “pick things up”? Share your process here!
Note to self: no, you’re not weird at all for comparing your process to True Blood oh no not at all

My husband, the Pisces, can have the radio on, tv going, his phone beeping, dogs barking, baby crying, car alarm going off, and it’s like he can’t even hear any of it. This has always really surprised me. But, in his case, possibly, he needs THAT much distraction from his own thoughts or he might go mad. (He also has a Moon Pluto conjunction.) He’s very upset when any of the chaos is stopped or turned down.
I’ve always had a sixth sense of sorts, I can locate objects that have been moved, without being in the room, I can just sense where things are. I can always follow people’s thought processes, and usually know what they are going to say. I feel every tiny little thing from people. But I try desperately to block it out. I love complete silence. I’m always turning the radio down or the TV off. I won’t answer my phone. Maybe following my 8TH House NN means that I should try to tune into this energy a little more. The wise Aliza 🙂 recommended that I try meditation, and I did, and it was like feelings and voices and ideas and realizations attacked me from all sides – scary! And impossible to concentrate. I’m still trying to do better.
I have a Moon Uranus conjunction in Scorpio. Maybe it comes from there…
And our son has a Moon Neptune conjunction. Crazy combination for 3 family members huh?!
regarding meditation practice: remember – to use a light touch in your mind. Don’t *try* to shut anything out. And no need to ever be angry with self. Follow your out breath , kindly pay attention to it, and when thoughts arise, you can just thank them for arriving. And then return to observing the out-breathe. No judgement. That’s the nature of the mind: thoughts arise! But when we can open in this way…. we chill out easier when life really takes us by surprise – and I believe we also get to the truth of our life the more we live this practice.
And yes that is totally normal – it ALL will get louder at first. Or perhaps always be that way.
But it’s okay.
It is worthwhile to notice what your mind does–
I’m not surprised with your Moon Uranus, everything you’ve said – it’s a wild moon, wild mind–
Moon in Pisces in the 8th- ever since I can remember, I would always “sense” things- just random things, what might happen in a certain situation, things about people, picking up on how they felt, who they really were, and things about myself. But for year’s I thought to myself “It’s just my overactive imagination.”. It took me a while-until recently, actually, to accept my ‘sensings’ or psychic abilities, and to acknowledge that about myself. I’m trying to write what comes to me nowadays so I can keep track. Sometimes I still self doubt (overall issue I have) but it’s a process. To let go.
you shld def trust a water moon in the 8th house! I mean, trust your instincts 🙂
Moon Neptune sextile Pluto in the 12th and trine Jupiter Chiron in Pisces. Yep.
I keep bumping into people with that Jupiter Chiron conjunction thingie. Interesting. How do you experience it, opal? Do you see Jupiter making your Chiron “issues” BIGGER? Or do you feel less affected by Chiron? Or do you think this makes you a healer? Does it hurt to have faith?
This is a gift except when it isn’t 😉 It’s exhausting when you don’t recognize your boundaries and respect them. For example, I don’t *do* negative people. I can’t help but soak up the crappy. There’s no defense, can’t even be in the same room. Interestingly, I don’t think there’s anything in my chart that says ‘sensitive’. I vaguely remember being told ‘psychic stuff’ was ‘dangerous’ for me because Neptune in sag/11th trines my sun & squares my mars in Leo/8th. Also sun square chiron & trine Neptune. I don’t think compassion & empathy really qualify as psychic stuff so I’m not fretting.
I remember some very obvious pieces of your chart and I respect your privacy so won’t reveal them here but HELL YES YOUR CHART SAYS sensitive 😉
Ah, geez…..
Yep, today is like that. Here I am, having the best day in a long time, feeling really, really good and then…….
I start picking up on a couple of my friends who have both in the past 24 hours, no less, lost a beloved pet very suddenly. Next thing I know, I’m fretting about MY dog. ‘Cause, you know, he’s the last dog I’ve got left.
(Was he too hot when I fed him? Is he drinking too much water?) And I ran into someone who asked about Libby, and missed her. And another person who stood in the grocery store and told me how her brother, (who I dated a long time ago) died.
Yep, had to get rid of that. Gabe helped – he proceeded to be very funny, and insisted I throw his ball over and over again, so he could make these amazing and goofy catches, and bring it back to momma with a smile on his face.
Weird how I’d be having a fabulous day, and then be in contact with all these people grieving. I feel for them, but don’t need to FEEL for them. Yanno?
Sometimes I feel people’s pain when I do email readings. But this thing that I experience when I meet 1:1 with someone is … something else. Not sure what it is yet. But I feel it (although it’s not really a feeling – damn I need to figure out how to describe it) when I do a reading or sometimes even when I GET ONE.
Boundaries/shielding… all that good stuff..
I know! That happens to me, too.
I have enough to deal with right now, and can be feeling perfectly clear and happy for a change, only to go into a spiral, and sure enough, it’s that guy who started trouble with me over christmas, or my sister’s upset with me or someone else, and then there’s the taurus who seems to be in a sarcastic mood – he helped to screwb me up in the first place, and is no longer welcome as an emotional hitchhiker.
I never did respond to your email last September, but I will (I’m Salali).
