@Louisa Munson I'm sorry you had to go through all that. Children can be extremely cruel to one another. I recall little girls at school liking me one day and hating me the next, for no discernable reason--- just mean little girls. I'm happy that I (and my kids, for that matter; they're in their mid 30's) am not growing up in this time of social media. It's horrendous pressure and sitting behind a computer screen gives some people license to let their inner devil out. Anyway, if we had grown up in the same time and place, I'm certain we would have been fast friends.

I just had a birthday! My sun is in Libra and so is my Mercury, in the 3rd house. I love it when things are fair, and I lament that life often isn't. I do like bouncing ideas around in a group setting, even if I do prefer creative work alone. In my work life, I was always a good intermediary.

My Mercury is in Libra in the 3rd house, and it's opposite Aries in the 9th house. My 9th house is empty. Although I can be very independent, I prefer learning in person. I like being able to bounce ideas off other people. I definitely don't think of myself as any of the Aries characteristics. I don't embody much fire energy. I'm not courageous. My thinking is very subjective. My Mercury and my sun are both in Libra.

@Louisa Munson At the root, I'm always interested in healthy ways to transcend the denser energies of this earthly life. So, through art, philosophy, and dabbling in esoteric pursuits. I'm always interested in ways to flow with life, and astrology is one path. Although, with astrology, I hold things loosely. I believe each of us has potential for absolutely everything within us. So, as far as "figuring myself out" through astrology, that's not going to happen. But I'm still curious and still open to experimenting with it!

My Venus is in Scorpio in the 4th house. I have a stellium in my 4th house--- my moon, Venus and Neptune are all in Scorpio.

@Louisa Munson Big and gorgeous and all-encompassing, eh?

@Louisa Munson I find some peelers difficult too, and I'm right handed. To be honest, I use a paring knife to peel my potatoes. I use a peeler only on the smaller veggies, like carrots.

@Cindy VonSutphen We may have proclivities based on planetary forces, but we're also self-sovereign and free beings. I love your commitment to keeping true to yourself in relationships, Cindy! Yassss!

@Carmen Noseworthy my Mars is in Cancer in the 12th house. This completely tracks.
