   I’m depressed today. I wouldn’t call it melancholy. When I get a certain way I swing to extremes sometimes Moon and pluto in scorpio conjunct. But I get back up and I just as easily swing the other way.

   I felt it coming on today but I put it to a halt!! I’m getting better at monitoring my thought process. I just have to tell my mind “Nope, not today. There’s nothing to be depressed about.” It’s working wonders.
   It did try to ease in there though.

   Mars square Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter.

   It depends on the fight. Sometimes it makes me sick, sometimes it makes me depressed, sometimes it lightens the load and I feel way better.

   Depression to me feels like sinking down.

   Melancholy is like floating on top. A more tangible sadness… feeling wistfull. Sorry to get lost in semantics. Mercury in Cancer always has me talking about feelings. And Mars in Cancer has me eating those feelings (literally).

   My Mars squares Jupiter in Libra/11th house to 2nd house. Mars square Jupiter: too much of a good thing? Or too much of a Marsy thing?

   I feel strange today but that is because I had my first ever acupuncture treatment last night. I can still feel my body processing it. Chiron in Aries? Healing with metal?

   With Moon, Mars, Uranus and Pluto conjunct in Virgo I can relate. Even with Mars and Uranus in the mix it’s getting harder to “get the adrenaline going again and you go back out there”. Dear old Saturn ain’t helping matters these days either.

   Moonpluto, I felt very similar after my first acupuncture appointment. I talked to my TCM Dr. and she explained some things to me…definitely make a note of it and ask questions.
   I usually book personal quiet time after an appointment. Don’t know if this is possible in your life, but hopefully it could be.

   Hi Kashmiri:

   Yes, I did have quiet time last night and will again tonight. I was surprised how tired and tender I felt today…

   The gal said some people can continue to feel effects for 72 hours!

   One’s natal chart must influence how one responds to treatments, wouldn’t you think? Or what treatments work best…. how long healing takes. This makes me think of the “trauma blog” Elsa had up the other day…

   For example, any kind of bodywork makes me cry (releasing old stuff) but I’ve never had such a prolonged physical reaction as this before…

10. kashmiri says on 1/10/08 at 8:16 pm:
    

    That releasing stuff sounds very similar to my own experience with body work. A great teacher once told me it is the dissolving between the ’small self’ (ego) and greater self (soul?)
    I’m glad for you are able to be open to it it sounds like it has benefitted you greatly.

    I’ve read that 8th/Scorpio is where trauma gets uncovered/released/lanced, and 9th/Sagittarius is where the trauma begins the traverse through the healing process.

    For me this makes sense (I have Saturn in 8th [Koch] and Pluto in 9th) but perhaps this isn’t everyone’s experience.

    why do i feel a deeper heavier sense of depression at this time? what is happening astrologically?

    is it the pluto transition into cap and the fact i’m a cap? i’m sure it is more than that but i’ve not yet felt it in this way. it feels more like a bondage to something i cannot see. some part of me that is so deeply bound to something false. and an inability to feel free.
