Do you feel energy? Sometimes I need to feel energy around me, more than I need to talk, although I need that too. And I give this quality to my Cancer planets. Mercury in Cancer can be quiet or just… a sideways communicator.
My Cancer stellium is in the 11th House so I love to absorb energy from a group, like in my meditation class or at a church or shul or really any pleasant enclosed environment. Enclosed, yes. I’m no nature girl but I do love the ocean of course. Shopping, conversely, is something I dislike; it overwhelms me. Energy overload.
This was on my mind because once I told my quadruple Taurus roommate that I could feel her energy and that was enough for me. I had less of a need to speak or be social in the way that her Venus-ruled life needs. And she was shocked, and complimented: “Really? You feel my energy? It’s good?” (Apologies if I’ve told this story before; I think I have.)
When someone is quietly puttering around the apartment, doing their thing, it can bring me such a feeling of peace. And when the energy is gone, well, that can also bring me a feeling of peace. And maybe this is also why I enjoy the cats so much: it’s an energy relationship even though they do talk and I talk to them. (Oh man do they talk!)
What about you? What do you need from other people?

Haha I’m on a role with your old posts today and I keep feeling like commenting. It sounds like we have an opposite chart, moonpluto. I have a Capricorn stellium in the 11th. The only planet in cancer is Chiron on the cusp of the 6th.
(in ref to “challenged Mercury”) Yes. Mercury square Neptune (6 degree orb, leaving aspect, Neptune Retrograde, but finding out it’s powerful).
Aquarius Chiron in 3rd, square Ascendant.
Oh I think we did talk about this once. Mercury-Neptune is a tough one. How do you trust yourself when you’re not sure what’s real?
Exactly!
I’m with you on the shopping. Can’t stand it.
I am totally into energy too.
I feel energy but I am lousy at interpretation, because I am always anxious and cannot tell WTF is going on.
I cannot distinguish between my issues and another’s. Since (on a rudimentary level) we attrack what we are, I must really be messed up. 🙂
I received a Resonance Repatterning healing by proxy a few weeks ago, and the healer kept having to clear her throat. My main issue, for decades, has been “no one wants to take the time to listen to me”. Therefore the interpretation at the time was “I feel like I don’t have a voice”.
Yet, there is an imposition on others when a person expresses. Their energy goes out to whoever they are trying to communicate with. Therefore, If others choose not to listen to me, that is their right, and I certainly do not want to impose. Thus the dilemma: I constantly worry of imposing, and I don’t want to shut up. Therefore, I cannot interpret clearly if I need to shut up.
That’s where energy interpretation gets messed up for me. Many times I’ve interpreted I was not wanted, yet later find I was welcome. And vice-versa.
Dogs and cats…..the last two weeks I’ve been petting them at the same time, and their energies are so different, it is discordant for me to try to be there in both energies at the same time. They both get along, so it’s not disharmony. It feels like the cat is vibrating at a higher energy and the dog is throwing her energy outward. The cat is content, but the dog wants more.
Since living on a busy road, I have found myself in a state of constant agitation and muscles all tight frequently. One day when it was totally quiet, I finally figured out it was the energy of all the cars speeding by,
Last note…I must live alone to be happy and centered. People in my space are an extreme disruption to my functioning. I end up very grumpy and miserable to be around. Don’t like this about me:(
I wonder if you have a “challenged” natal Mercury? Hmm…
I would love to have a cat! Energy is so important – it realyy makes a big difference which type of energy you surround yourself with. It heals or can make you sick. I like the show the Dog Whisperer- it shows how important the energy is we ourselves put out in the world. And how simple (not easy) it is to change the energy by living in the present.
I used to watch the Dog Whisperer. He’s really an energy master.
MoonPluto, do I feel energy! People, places, animals, objects.
I relish walking into a room full of people and putting out my feelers. I think it is sometimes about me: I love the energy of a busy market in India on my holiday yet a shopping centre in Melbourne saps me of my own energy.
However, I have to be careful around negative energy because I still forget to protect myself and take on someones’ anxiety or anger.
I know about the lovely comfort of another “pottering” around the house without words. I also know about feeling squeezed out or suffocated by an over the top presence. That’s exhausting and over time depleting.
Recently, I have removed most of another person’s belongings from my basement. What relief! No longer stuck and weighed down.
Thanks for excellent readings 😉
Thanks Joanna! I often forget to protect myself as well, the “ground and shield” …
