   I worry that I am never going to shake this sinus infection. But I mostly worry about losing my husband - to an illness, an accident, some blundering deal breaker on my part. I worry about my brother, who is in the Army. I worry about my sister, who works too hard for very little. I worry about my parents, neither of whom have taken very good care of themselves. And I also worry about the country and whether my nieces and nephew will inherit a very different country than the one I know and love.

   But I try not to let my worries and fears control my life. I think maybe I am more open about how I feel with the ones I love because of my fear of losing them. I want to make the most of the time given us.

   I’m worried about my emotional stability, which feels really slippery at the moment. I’m worried about staying in a job I’m learning to hate long enough to get the education for a job I think I’ll love, or at the very least feel like I’m accomplishing something besides running in circles for nothing. I worry about loving someone who has no desire to reciprocate. I worry about maintaining a relationship with certain members of my family because doing so many bring me into touch with other extended members of my family who are toxic, and who I desperately need to stay away from. I worry about the state of the economy, the state of our government, the state of the country as a whole. I worry about worrying too much.

   And no, I’m not being facetious, I really do worry about worrying.

   Honestly, I’m not worried about much of anything at the moment. Which is a little odd, as I tend to be a worrywart However, my man (big time Taurus) is/has been very worried about EVERYTHING. Mostly about money, though. I constantly have to reassure him that we have enough & that he will continue to get lots of work & that we will never be THAT poor (like we used to be) again…it’s a very big chore, as once he latches on to an idea, he rarely releases it (his chart is almost entirely “fixed”)…He’s waiting for a “sign from God” to reassure him. Until then, it’s my job ha!

   I am worrying about my husband not bringing in a paycheck for the last 3 weeks, and I am worried about being homeless with 3 kids and trying to work and pretend like everything is okay when it most definitely is not. I am worried about not having enough faith to see that this too shall pass and I’ll be stronger on the other side.

   I have been talking to someone new a lot lately that I really like and I haven’t really thought much about it or gotten attached, but I find myself worrying about it today.

   I’m worried that I will never be well again and that I will never find someone to spend my life with. I am also worried about what the next 12 months are going to be like in terms of the transits to my chart. Virgo moon needs a vacation, I’m losing my sense of humor.

   1. I’ve been oddly worried about the apocalypse all day today. I know, melodramatic, but true.

   2. I’m worried that my mother doesn’t think I’m a good mother.

   3. I’m worried that my mother doesn’t love my daughter as much as her other grandkids.

   I feel lame admitting those things, but they are truly what I’m worried about right now, today, this moment.

   I’m worried my words,actions,and intentions will get twisted into something that it’s not. I’m worried about not waking up with strength tomorrow. I’m worried that I might get upset and take it out on someone. I’m worried that someone might see how alone i feel. I’m worried that one day I’ll make some life altering mistake; again.

   I am worried that I might not get to live in America again, because by the time I can, will it be possible? Will my son want to? Will I want to?. Will my relatives still be living?

    Saturn in Virgo is kicking my ass, because it’s transiting the sixth house in my natal chart, where I have Mars and a Uranus/Pluto conjunction. Soooooo …

    I’m worried about my health (I was diagnosed with epilepsy this year) and about my employer remaining solvent (at least until I can pay for and finish my graduate degree and get the hell out of there).

    I’m a big-time Taurus like Lilly’s husband (sun, Venus and Jupiter in Taurus), but it doesn’t sound like that Taurean tranquility is helping either one of us very much right now.

    For some reason, I feel calm, even though I know I’m worried about finding a new job because I really want to, and I want it to be a good one. I’m a little worried that I should be more worried.

    Elsa - I’m kind of like you. Even though I don’t live down there, I have been feeling for a while (and if you remember my chart at all - I can often believe in my “feelings”) that the U.S. is going to change. Something is in the air.

    I always worry about everything, but I am trying to worry less about my Scorpio Sun guy and myself, because (despite everything) he’s still there.

    However - I have been stretching my jaw around all day because I have been feeling so much tension in it. Anyone get it there? I’m wondering what is causing the tension.

    say elsa, talking about accidents that change people’s lives..makes me think * unplanned pregnancy*

    and what am i worried about *lol* a friend and i have started an email list of ‘things that make us crazy’… everything from genetically modified food and general poison everywhere to big pharmacy companies to oil prices to pollution to the economy etc etc etc. sometimes you have to be in denial just to function.

14. doublecappy says on 8/11/08 at 8:14 pm:
    

    Dunno. Not much right now. I actually don’t worry about the state of the world. I don’t know why. I empathize with people who do, but I just don’t. Maybe that’s an embarrassing thing to say, but … sometimes I try to (gas shortages, economy etc..) and it doesn’t work.

    I started reading the old (1944) “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” last night. It’s great!

    Chapter 11 talks about putting a “stop-loss” on worrying.

    What fantastic book!

    Ya know, I’ve been so worried about so much over the past few months, the other day I just surrendered and feel so much better. The universe is taking good care of me and mine; we have difficulties, to be sure, but we are fed and clothed and sheltered and loved. The future is a nebulous maelstrom enveloped in fear right now, but as long as I have a good right now, which I do, I really have no choice but to plop down into it and be glad.

    Home repairs, the last remnants of my Dad’s estate, my ongoing failure to lose weight, climate change, high fructose corn syrup, the stock market, and the state of the nation.

    I worry that people don’t get how painful it is to be sickened by the choices ,we’ve made. I live with MCS (multiple chemical sensitives) second-hand smells make me crisscross the lines of normal/well/brain-fogged/breathless. Safe places to live and be in any day or night are limited. Worried, yes worried that I will forget that it’s still up to me to take care of me. Fight! Flight! Fatigue. Fortunately the fates have given me a Cancer care-giving honey who loves, rents me DVDs to divert me from the sickness,even as he gathers more and more junk about the horders of resources: liars, crooks and thieves. Venus is having her way though … so, that gives me hope and a chunk of relief. I’m re-writing the rules for what’s normal and what’s to worry about? Aloha!

    I was worried about my current relationship that made me inexplicably uneasy. As of yesterday, I am not, since I broke up with him. He was full of Gemini, and while I don’t think he was deliberately deceitful, I think he was fooling himself about being over his marriage and ready for a relationship.

    It was momentarily painful to realize he was getting a pretty sweet deal: lots of sex, my paying almost half of our dating expenses, and he had no practical obligation to me other than being my boyfriend, which apparently was a great sacrifice considering all the women *ahem* beating down his door to get to his as-yet-not-divorced tasty ass.

    Short long distance thing, it became clear this was as far as it was going to go. And this was supposed to be enough for me because it was such a powerful bond. Uh, no.

    My worries have evaporated, thanks to Mars opp Uranus!!

    Snapdragon,

    RE: your comment:
    “However - I have been stretching my jaw around all day because I have been feeling so much tension in it. Anyone get it there? I’m wondering what is causing the tension.”

    I feel this too. I feel anxious everyday, but not about anything on my own plate. More of a global thing. I can’t identify it, but I think it is huge. I think it is the shift of energy and what is happening here in the states and around the world. It is huge.

    What am I worried about? the universe, all of mankind, that it is the end of the world as we know it.

    I’m worried about the state of our country mostly. What happened to all the freedom for which our forefathers sacrificed their lives? Too many citizens have traded them in for an iPhone and a McMansion?

    Peace out,

    I am worried about my mother. She now knows that I am leaving (moving from FL (where she is) to Arizona, but she does not realize how soon that is likely to take place.

    Good quote Pisces.

    Me again. What is it with worrying about the future? The state of the world? It bothers me sometimes that I don’t as I said, but I think I’m so concerned with making me a better human, that I figure that’s really all I can do. I can judge other people and put them down and tell them they’re using too much gas, but how is that helpful? How is that going to save the world?

    I read another book recently that talks about “God’s business, my business, and other people’s business.” She basically directs everyone to worry about their own business - of course, not everyone will, but it makes the most sense.

    Be the best you can be, use less of the earth’s resources, stop complaining and worrying about what everyone else is doing. I don’t know. How can you go wrong?

    (Not that I can always take that advice, but I think it’s the thinking behind why I can’t get myself to worry about what’s clearly out of my hands.)

    I also worry about the end of the US as we know it and I wish that others could see the precarious position our American liberties are in. I worry about stuff all the time. Just very high strung I guess. At least right now.

    I’m worried about the status of my self-identification as an academic, actually.
    Five planets are currently transiting my 8th house, with Mars on my Sun and Uranus obviously opposite.

    Have had many psychic experiences over the last month or so, and have even been encouraged to train my abilities as a medium… I’m slowly getting used to the idea…
    Since I’m sensitive to start with, I want to learn to have some degree of control over the “input”, and I’m fascinated by the philosophical implications as well, but… were will it take me? I’m very tempted to take the course I’ve been offered, and I probably will - and then see where events take me from there. I’ve had a fantastic flow of coincidences happen lately, simply because I was convinced by a medium to follow my gut feeling. It’s been extremely fruitful. I haven’t made a single bad choice since I got her reassurance. The reason I’ve been hesitant to listen to my intuition until now, is that it’s almost always contradicted by what’s actually “out there” in people’s words and actions, and it’s just been terribly confusing to try to deal with. And I “accidentally” ran into two other young women in a café who, it turned out, are facing exactly the same challenges. What happened was they gestured for me to come to their table, I walked over and: “Are you by any chance spiritually inclined or even psychic?” “Mhmm, we thought so”. Unbelievable! These things don’t happen in real life, right? *lol*
    (And I’m watching Twin Peaks on dvd these days. *Minding the fine line*…;)

    I’m trying to find a framework, and have started looking into theosophy. It’s interesting enough, even if one is given the impression that Mme Blavatsky was hopping mad;D But I completely endorse the concept of Oneness and they have reincarnation covered, too:D - so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the best fit for me!;) But who can I tell about my newfound pursuits?!? And why not just tell everyone? That’s the core question at this point…:) - Little Miss Solitude

    Mostly, I’m worried that the result from my 3 hr glucose test will come back high, and I’ll have to deal with gestational diabetes, I’m worried about finances, and giving birth. I worry I’ll be a crappy mom.

    Elsa, you said you are “worried about the end of the United States” as you know it. I would be interested in hearing more about this, as it seems to be a topic on many people’s minds lately.

28. Jilly says on 8/12/08 at 6:20 pm:
    

    For all my Virgo, I have been remarkably worry-free this year thanks to a bunch of outer planet transits instructing me about how futile that is.

    The USA is already gone.
