Anybody else restless and crabby?

And lol it ain't PMS. I just find myself really irritable and impatient with just about everything and everybody in my life, and quite often I find myself on the verge of tears. It's been going on for a few weeks, and I can't pinpoint any reason for it.

I'm not usually like this, so I don't know what's going on. At this point I'm putting it down to the Shift more than anything--I'm not very good at astrology but I pay attention to my chart, and I don't recall anything looming that could do this to me.

I keep it to myself because I know it's not rational (these poor friends and relatives of mine aren't doing anything wrong--it's all coming from me), but dang I just want to blow.

Oh yeah--and I get this overwhelming urge to walk away from everybody, and I get this feeling like none of my friends are real friends (definitely not true--I know they are--I just feel like I'm not in sync with any of them right now).

Anybody else feeling this way, or am I losing my marbles? :crazy:

The truth is, I don't know whether that is what has been bugging the crap out of me, too, or whether my personal transits at this time (Chiron square Ascendant, Saturn square Chiron and Neptune square Uranus to name but two that just...suck) are what's helping me feel perpetually irritable. But I'm pretty sure Mars/Saturn pressure hasn't been helping. I didn't think the Mars-Saturn conjunction would bug me as much as it has. stella describes that transit as inflicting a sensation akin to feeling like you have to scale Mount Rushmore equipped with only a butterknife and my first reaction to hearing that was, "Oh, is that all? I've done that before, in worse circumstances than this!" I know that sounds arrogant, and I'm no martyr or anything, but, well, I have. I didn't always arrive at the top in one piece, and a lot of the time there were other climbers waiting there who snickered rudely at me, but I lived. Now...egh. I'll admit that it's very frustrating.

I thought it was starting to fade. That would explain a lot! :banghead:

Sigh. I sure hope that's it, because I kinda like my marbles and I want to keep them.

Thanks, folks!

You know, like an earthquake?

Cancerians, and I am one, are often known for their crabbiness. As am I. So, it could be that. Check your charts to see what aspects are happening to your Sun/Moon/ Cancer placements in your chart - you'll probably find your answer there.

but it says the following:



The second paragraph sort of sounds like what you're saying.

(On edit: I see that you did post in it, so you saw it already. It still seems applicable, for what it's worth.)

I hate my job. I interviewed for something better a couple weeks ago; it went very well, but it's likely to be up in the air for a while yet. I auditioned for a band, and was offered to join, last week. I want to join, but there are a puzzle piece or two missing before I'm 100% comfortable committing.

I just want to bolt. No, not from the earth, but from all my commitments (or lack thereof) on it.

I do have some personal things going on that are eating at me (for instance, am looking at a layoff that may come sooner that I expected), but, I do think I am more out of sorts than would normally be the case.

I think, for me, it is pent up anger. I have sat back and observed what has been happening to the US (and, of course, the world) since 2000 (and even before that, but it was more gradual then), and, the feeling I get is very like being a small child who is being abused and who can't do anything about it. The helplessness is getting to me.

Hi all,

Thanks for the support and commisseration! I was less crabby over the weekend--apparently I'm not ignoring the stress at work as well as I thought (looming reorganization, so a lot of secrets polluting the office at the moment--plus I found out that my boss is lying about my performance to the new VP to try to get me fired--I'm not surprised, as he's quite the weenie, but of course I am deeply offended and if he weren't on vacation I would have to restrain myself from marching into his office and kicking him in the first sensitive area I could find).

I just visited astrologyzone.com and got a bit more insight from my July forecast (I'm a Capricorn by the way). I like Susan Miller, but with her forecasts it's either all completely on the money or totally off. (I know how hard it is to do a general forecast for everyone born under a particular sign, so I take it all with a grain of salt.)

Anyway, with Jupiter retrograde, my friends haven't really been there for me, which has added to my stress, but I really wasn't thinking about that while I was crabby. Now I realize that I desperately need them to actually BE my friends (they've been standoffish of late). So I'm looking forward to Jupiter going direct on 7/6.

I guess I'll just hang in there and wait for more stuff to work itself out. In the meantime, thanks again, everybody!

I hope that you are able to tell your friends that you need them right now and that they give you the time and attention that you need.

:hug:
