Virgo Rising, Leo Rising and Ascendants in General by Nota

Real Conversation

I went out for noodles with my yoga teacher and another girl after class.

Cherie starts talking about how she’s working on letting go of this compulsive sort of feeling she has where she needs to tell people she is smart.

“I’m smart. I know people can tell I’m smart when they talk to me. I know this. But for the longest time I have struggled with feeling like I have to let people know.”

“You even advertise it.” I say tracing a line across my chest. I am referencing her collection of math joke t-shirts that she wears to class.

“I do! I want people to see. What’s that about?! You know, why do I keep doing this?”

Open Question: Your Experience With Virgo Rising (Venus Neptune) In Relationship

September 16th, 2008 @ 10:30 am by Elsa

Ask the collective

chart Dear Elsa,

I have Pisces on the cusp of the 7th. Would you think that with that particular arrangement that you might attract or
be attracted to dead or ghost relationships? It’s like trying to be friends with zombies or mannequins. They let go of the
closeness a long time ago, but you keep hanging on from your end trying to breathe life into it, sometimes for years. At one point you had a very close and sincere connection, you expect it to wake up and come back to life any minute – like if you let it go, that might be the end. It will just sink to the bottom of the ocean which it probably would and probably should have long ago since the other person isn’t trying to keep anything afloat.

Heads Up To Venus Neptune, Venus In Pisces, Venus In The 12th, Neptune In The 7th, Virgos And Virgo Rising:Lie Down With Dogs And Kiss Your Love Goodbye

Astrology in real life

There is another angle on that Venus Neptune painting piece I want to flesh out bit for very specific purpose. It is the mention in there of HQ’s vote of confidence in our relationship.

The soldier and I were facing a very hard road if we were going to find a way to come together. For example he had to live in a truck for a year while I had to drive all over the country in support and to maintain the relationship so really, how many people are going to do that for each other? Virtually none.

To embark on something like this we had to BELIEVE. It took copious amounts of faith and maybe you can see how important it was to have HQ state his belief if we took this hard road it would lead us to happiness. That one statement kicked me into a higher gear and what if he’d said something otherwise? What if he’d said something cock-blocking, hmm? Something to undermine. Where do you think we’d be right now?

Capricorn Woman Falls In Love With The Wrong Men: Astrology-Based Advice

June 23rd, 2008 @ 8:30 am by Elsa

Hello Elsa,

I have a problem with falling in love with the wrong people. I fall in love with friends. We meet, there is no initial interest, then they overtake my life and I find myself thinking of them romantically.

This places me in a position of vulnerability and angst. I become this loathsome pathetic person and I lose myself—that is, they become the object of my living. I often express these feelings, but I have not enough pride to walk away. Instead I am faced with bouts of dramatic manic depression, I isolate myself for days.

One in particular became the person I shared the most of myself with, he eluded me with “soul mate” “best friends” and such, but I loved him more than that. Pathetic. It has been going on for a year now, and we have mutual friends.

I always come out being the crazy person, which is understandable, I don’t control my feelings I burst. I am now in one of those bouts. Phones off, alone. Waiting for something, but I’m not going back, it’s not good for me. Please help me, some guidance is appreciated.

capriocorn embroidery zodiac Dear Capricorn,

First, your problem is common and congratulations on articulating it so well. Not too keen on how you berate yourself but you do have this situation very well described and defined which is always at least half the battle. You know it is you not them and to have this delineated at 24 years old is impressive so now what to do?

Well these tendencies do show up vividly in your chart so you while you will not be able to rid yourself of them you will be able to find other outlets and ways to channel your energy. It’s no different that having a knife. You can stab yourself with it, you can stab others or you can carve a bar of soap into something beautiful. Learning to do the latter or something like it would be my recommendation and since you are you are a Capricorn, I’ll provide you a plan:

Quit berating yourself. Calling yourself “pathetic” does not help. Crediting yourself with having figured out your problem will. (Use your Capricorn to support rather than punish yourself)
Recognize you have a (Pisces Moon) need to serve and sacrifice and this is in effect what you are doing in these situations. There are other ways to serve and causes worthy of sacrifice, for example a mother who raises her children sacrifices herself on a daily basis.
Recognize that you have an attraction to pining (Pisces on the 7^th) and also to being terrifically critical of yourself (Virgo rising) and commit (Capricorn) to working on these tendencies.
Start to slowly work on your problems and expect success to come in small increments.

Last, astrologically it is a Saturn transit forcing this issue. You can take heart in that, it means you are right on schedule.

Good luck.
