Same here, I resonate very strongly with Advaita Vedanta but unlike you I see the Bible as complementing and enhancing understanding not contradicting it. One of the greatest Vedic sages ever, Ramana …
I’ve failed at startups, lived on the road, and I still believe I’m successful — I was 19 when I started my first startup. I led a team of 15 people, wanted to change the world. And I failed. At 21, back in 2016, I left home without any money, hoping that traveling would help me …

Why do so many high achievers seem to have strong Rahu placements? — I’ve been looking at charts of highly successful or influential people and noticed that many of them seem to have strong Rahu placements, especially in angular houses (1st, 7th, 10th) or closely influ…
You can be pretty and still fucked up. Attractiveness will not save you from this disease. — I am not model-tier attractive, but I have modeled for local brands and have a very unfulfilling "successful" dating life. Everyone in the internet, and in real life claims that attractive people "hav…

The most unconventional ways of thinking that help you? I'll go first — ***"They have the audacity, why can't I?***" Sometimes I struggle with standing up for myself and my needs/boundaries. I get stuck in my head, scared about whether what I'm saying is fair, or balanc…
Do narc parents head into retirement in a disastrous way? — This post is extremely spontaneous. Basically, my personal life and that of my parents are completely messed up. My dad is going to retire in less than a year, and my mom is more of a homemaker than s…
How to determine if your spouse is likely to be younger than you.(An important astrological analysis.) — In astrology the birth chart often highlights patterns that deviate from what is socially considered “normal.” For men marrying a younger spouse is quite common so the chart usually does not emphasize…

Anyone come here from a sobriety/recovery background? — I got clean/sober almost 5 years ago. My path was somewhat unconventional—I went to NA meetings sparingly for my first year, but it never felt like it was “for me.” After my first year sober I decide…

Extreme Guilt — Hello! I’ve never posted here before. Going to attempt to not make this super long but no promises. I’m (32F) about to ask my (34M) husband for a divorce. We have been together almost 8 years and ma…
How do I manifest a short-term relationship? — Hey guys! This might be a somewhat unconventional question but I am curious if anyone here ever manifested a fun short-term relationship. Most people on this sub want to manifest long term partners/ s…
Dates are different though, because it’s normal to state your intentions on a first date. Op simply ran into her at a party, and that was the second time they had met. Even my DA bf and I spoke about…
Hi everyone, I’m 25M (Middle Eastern, living in Turkey), in pilot training and under a lot of pressure to stay focused. Earlier this year I met a 30F Russian woman (“Y”) in a very unconventional way …
I would say he’s unconventionally attractive—he looks like younger Paul Dano. He’s not exactly charismatic as he’s quite reserved and analytical. However, he is a good, stable guy with an interesting …
>I think I have the ability to appreciate people and care about them deeply >even when I like someone and can imagine building a life with her, I just don’t *feel* anything. I think you need to re…
I do think that a lot of attachment issues are a downstream effect from the fact that our society is basically built in anti-human ways and that we've been pushed into really unnatural family structur…
I’m Jupiter Aquarius in 3H 🙋♀️ I get why Jupiter in Aquarius feels confusing. Jupiter is supposed to be warm, abundant, obvious. Aquarius is detached, future focused, and kind of impersonal. It doe…
Uranus (in mid-Taurus, a few years ago) square natal moon (Aqua). I got into a relationship with someone who seemed great at first, but was bad for me. It was confusing because we explored a lot of th…
jupiter in aquarius is a genuinely tricky placement because jupiter's mode of expansion (organic, faith-based, through meaning and generosity) runs into aquarius' saturn-ruled framework (systematic, i…
Aphantasia and autism are strongly corrected. I have both. I see no OEVs or CEVs under any substance regardless of dose. Increasing doses of tryptamines do not increase the likelihood of visuals for m…
rahu feels more like amplification to me than guaranteed success, but if it connects strongly to the 10th or angular houses it can definitely push visibility, ambition, and unconventional rise
I honestly wouldn’t care, as long as you were honest and respected established boundaries around monogamy. I wouldn’t even assume someone was not dating anyone else until we talked and agreed on that.…
you’re onto something. Rahu placed on angles or touching the 10th often shows up in high‑visibility charts because it amplifies ambition, rule‑breaking creativity and a hunger for quick results, which…
It's reasonable to date people for any reason. It just burns my ass that liking bigger people means you must have unconventional tastes. Which is weird when you consider that *globally*, over 40% of a…
there are clear indications of foreign travel or long-distance environments playing an important role in your life path so pursuing higher studies abroad actually aligns with the overall direction of …
Yes, you will conquer your exam. Wish you all the best :) Mercury is considered “weak” in Pisces. But like everything, weak just means it acts in unexpected/unconventional ways. Pisces Mercury is in…
I’m walking 3-5 miles per day to deal with the extra anxiety, I practice intermittent fasting for over a decade so I’m thankfully at my height/weight proportion. As far as feeling old, well…I can’t go…
Pass: -Bathroom mirror selfies. -Quips about “well, I’m 50 and on a dating app. So I guess things didn’t go as planned.” -ENM -Anything at all that even implied bad vibes about exes or stereoty…
Not super related to the post but are you me? Lol I got married to my high school boyfriend (my first real boyfriend and the only one I've ever been with) at 20 and at 31, he asked for a separation (w…
I guess I would say: maybe stop *trying* to be vulnerable. Just give things a lot of time and let them unfold. A moon in fall is an uncomfortable moon but also a creative moon, who has to figure out u…
For sure, but it is the *house* that rules mental illness. You also have to look at Neptune aspects, hard aspects to your moon, the sign your 12th house is in and the ruler of your 12th house+aspects …
"Oh so I'm your boss?" Proceed to bend him over and dominate lol. I'll be honest this is different than my and my husband of 10 years but we also have a somewhat unconventional relationship. A fe…
I have Saturn in Aries, and I am struggling to see its full meaning and how it can be used. If I remember correctly, in "The Astrology Podcast" there was one episode where the presenters said that pla…
Yeah, I think this conversation has led me to realize my self worth is a lot more tied up in my looks than I previously thought. I have an art background, so I'm a person that finds lots of unconventi…
Indecisive. Goes for the bad boy, dark underdog types who cause trouble. Intense, magnetic, push and pull dynamics and likely struggles for power and control. You likely have trouble opening up emotio…
He's on board and says it's not so unconventional but it has to be clearly unrelated to child support or custody, which it is. What's stressing me out is my parents and sister are saying that the wedd…
I think your lawyer is wrong in that it is in fact very unconventional. I have never heard of a clause like that.
I mean it is unconventional, but think about how much women sacrifice for having a baby - many of us miss a year or so of work to take care of an infant (which our employer often doesn’t fully reimbur…
It is extremely unconventional from the pov of your parents' generation esp where the woman is just supposed to embrace pregnancy and labour and childbearing for the immense joy of it all. It is uncon…
You're right. I didn't even intend to go into detail into ours specifically, I was trying to dispel what she was saying about trying to regulate child support and stupidly didn't connect the dots as t…
A typical prenup doesn’t do this (and your lawyer doesn’t give a crap if you sign your future away, the lawyer just want to get it over with). If she stays home, there’s a formula for alimony. Ther…
Yes, it’s unconventional in the sense that most couples probably don’t make a prenup and include that in it, but that doesn’t make it incorrect. Do what you think is best for yourself and your marriag…
I'll be that guy. This is weird. The thought of paying someone you're married to... for having kids you both agree to have... is unconventional. I totally see where your family is coming from wi…
Weird to think recognizing her investment and contribution is fine if it's my idea but her valuing herself is strange and unconventional
You're starting off this whole thing with the assumption that you're right which makes any kind of convincing unproductive. Why not play devil's advocate against yourself and figure out why they they …
I mean, I'd never even consider agreeing to anything like that but you do you. It is absolutely unconventional.
It is unconventional (although it's becoming more common as it should) however what matters is your relationship. Are you marrying your sister, are you marrying your mom? If you are then you wouldn'…
Absolutely! A lot of it is fear based where you don’t want to express your vulnerability. When it comes to actually choosing a partner, you want more than one. Intellectual stimulation is a must. I’m …
I think it could be because most of your personal planets are ruled by mercury so you might need a lot of mental stimulation and perhaps that’s why you’re great with friendships since it’s all about i…
I consider myself a fairly advanced reader but I still benefitted greatly by starting with Erick Cloward's "Stoicism 101". It's a nice, inexpensive little book with 1-2 page sections on the essential …
Sun and Mercury are conjunct and sextile Mars. The Sun and Mercury may make you talkative, creative, lots of communication, thoughts and ideas going on. Could have ADHD. Sextile Mars lends confidenc…
It’s not the only option for communal living if that’s what you’re interested in! I come from a culture in which multi-generational households/living with extended relatives is the norm, and that rea…
You have very complex D1 & D10 charts . Strong stellum in D1 indicates the following : \-Delay in marriage \-Unconventional marriage. Marriage outside the traditional norms or with a foriegn person.…
I’ve noticed a pattern over the last year. I meet someone → we get along → good conversation, good chemistry And then 2–3 dates in, it comes up: Kids. Marriage. Lifestyle. Where we want to live. …
You are disciplined and goal oriented person also follow structure and long term planning... But your thinking is unique and you bring change in unconventional ways( balance tradition with innovatio…
Debilitation and combustion are two different things, and they get conflated a lot. Debilitation means the planet has to work harder in that sign because the sign does not naturally support its style.…
Tell her you will talk with your accountant and/or lawyer friend to make sure that is a something they would recommend you doing. Put her off... "Oh, my lawyer is consulting with a colleague because …
I agree that one of the worst ways to respond to all of this is to develop a victim mentality, and victim identity. and that doesn't mean that people in this dimension don't actually get victimized, i…
You have Jupiter in detriment and retrograde in your 2H of Gemini which rules the voice. Your nodes are in the 3rd and 9th house which can suggest a lifelong challenge regarding communication. Your Me…

I know scientifically, electrons aren’t air, but I think of Aquarius fixed air as static energy. It exists within the atmosphere and is invisible to the eye, but it is its own thing. Electricity is of…
