Burnout in the Overshoot, A. R. Ammons

Do you have any tips or resources for animating?

it’s a little difficult for me to think about concrete resources since i taught myself to animate around a decade ago and i lost track of the books and/or videos that helped me, but i do really recommend manu mercurial’s channel for technique advice AND just general wholesome inspiration!

as for tips, i can try to offer some but i’m a really bad teacher so idk if it’ll be helpful haha 🥹

i’d say the first and most crucial step you can do is just observe. observe everything, observe little things. observe the way your body twists when you throw something, observe the way your cat walks, observe how a pencil bounces when you drop it on the floor, and of course try to consciously observe how your favorite cartoons or anime to try and pick up on techniques. after that make sure you understand key concepts like squash and stretch, anticipation, overshoot, animating on ones/twos/etc

for when you actually get hands-on with a program (which, btw, animation software UI tends to be very intimidating and i am sorry in advance if you have not already been exposed to it) i think it’s important to let yourself be messy. imo the gestures and movement are more important to understand if you’re starting out, and if you focus too hard on clean lines you’ll want to quit sooo quickly lolol

also a lot of people will tell you to start slow but honestly i’d say jump into an ambitious project if you’re passionate about it. doesn’t matter if you think you have the skill to do it or not, but animation to many people is a “destination over journey” kind of thing because the process is TEDIOUS!!!! seeing a finished product is amazing payoff though and very motivating. obviously don’t work yourself into burnout but if you have like an amv that’s been stuck in your head for months then just do it man i officially give you permission

this was kinda lengthy but i hope literally any of this is useful :-) there are a lot of great resources online i just personally haven’t looked into them recently

i'm obsessed with the idea that sustainability is nurturing. i'm obsessed with healing being healing for all of us. i'm obsessed with the way that looking after our environment so mirrors looking after our bodies and our minds. i'm obsessed with integrating this.

when i was in my late teens going through burnout and starting my enviro sci degree I remember comparing what was going on in my head with planetary overshoot. as in when we've gone through so much in one year that we've borrowed some from the future, more than used up the resources for that one year. I did that with my brain then, and I did it again now. I need to stop, I can't sustain this. we need to stop doing this to the planet, we can't sustain it.

but no one overworks themselves unless they think it's going to get them something. no one overworks themselves unless they're scared not to. unless that option might be somehow worse. i know it was for me. trying to get off the grind but when it was either that or feel nothing? I don't know what to choose. I needed to meet my needs elsewhere. same goes with the greedy exploiters of the planet, they need to be stopped, yes, but they're all chasing something. we all are. sustainability is simply meeting those needs in healthy ways.

Day 2

Still on track, still up to the word count. 1712 words this time, exactly one word over yesterday`s word count, but I`m trying to tone it down a bit and don`t overshoot the word count too much, that`s a recipe for burnout and failure.

Pretty standard stuff today, the chapter is still going as expected, even if I can`t remember what I wrote in the previous revision, I just know that I once again mixed things around and changed the overall structure lmao. It still is the same chapter as the previous revisions, I think just a few dialogues and jokes got cut in favor of other ones. Now, I do feel like I`m going a bit too overboard with this character`s inner thoughts, but yet it is less than his teacher outer thoughts, Christ is this man loud. So loud. Every time he opens his mouth he goes on and on for at least five lines.

And just as I was done with a scene I realized that I completely forgot one very important setup short scene and I had to go back to add it to the story. Lmao I`ve been writing this thing for year, and yet I still manage to forget what happens when. Amazing.

Idk if you're still active in this account but anyway. I was in quasi-recovery since Feb 2022 and I started real recovery and being committed in Feb/March 2023. I gained 3 pant sizes since then, and I stabilized in that weight months ago. I think I kinda plateaud. The thing is, I don't really trust continuing to eat what I want and as much as my body asks (the cravings and the extreme hunger have lowered a lot but I still feel like I'm eating too much and too many cravings for "bad food") I just feel like I'll keep gaining if I don't have any control over that. I also do moderate movement, like walking, dancing and some yoga/stretching when I feel like it and when I need a break for my mental health, but I don't do it everyday nor am I super consistent because burnout from a really stressful, busy and traumatic year leaves me tired and I just want to rest. I feel like I won't stop, like I haven't plateaud and I will continue to gain.

I've always had wide hips, really big thighs and big arms so it's already kinda tricky finding some clothes in shops. I'm scared of not being able to fit in airplane sits, that I will just have a worse life due to gaining more weight, because no amount of self-acceptance denies that you're treated less like a human depending on how big you are. I feel way better since I started recovery but societal fatphobia and my fear of gaining weight make me anxious and scared. I also fear I will never find love. I'm learning to love myself and I don't base my self-worth on a romantic partner, but I still want to experience genuine love in which someone actually loves my body, and that my body won't be an impediment to have a partner (i'm bi). I'm also desperate everyday to know if I'll lose overshoot, I hope so but I fear it won't happen. I have made a lot of progress with food but I fear it will be hijacked due to these problems. I feel like my body works against me. I just want to be normal, and I feel like I'll never be if I gain more.

I know this is a lot but I'm desperate and I've had an extremely rough year, I really don't have anyone to talk about this. I hope you have some advice. Thanks for reading me ❤️

Hi, anon.

Let me start off by saying how proud I am of you. Not only for being in recovery, but for being aware enough of your body's tolerance levels and being able to limit your exercise. That's so amazing, I'm really happy for you.

About your weight gain, I'd say that since you've plateaued, you should be able to continue eating what you've been eating. If your body is craving certain things, it's probably trying to tell you that you're not getting enough of whatever it is. Craving "bad foods" (there's also no such thing as good and bad foods, they all nourish your body and keep you going, but I get your point) might mean that you're missing certain things like fats, salt, sugar, etc.

As for the clothing, lots of things in stores aren't designed for some body types. I've always had a hard time with jeans, even before my ed. My size would fit me in the thighs, but be too big everywhere else. It's really all dependent on the designer. If you can, try not to let that get you down. Maybe you could google some brands that work for other people with your body type, and try those out and see if they fit you better.

Gaining weight is a huge fear factor in the recovery process, and your fears are completely valid. Unfortunately, you're right. People do treat people differently based on how they look. But you know what? People that are worth your time, love, and attention won't care about what you look like, or what size you are (the sizing is all a joke anyways). I know that sometimes stuff like that is hard to take because your initial reaction may be, "Yeah, right. That does nothing for me.", but it's true. I've been lucky enough to have people in my life that don't judge me based on my body or appearance, but lots of people don't share that. You will find a partner who will love every single inch of your body, and won't care if it changes. I've felt the exact same way (and sometimes I still do), but I can guarantee you that the perfect person will come along and adore you for you.

Also, the people who go along with societal pressures, like judging others for who they are, and what they look like, are most likely insecure themselves. Seeing people be who they are, and not ashamed of themselves makes some people angry. You have no control over that. If some people don't accept you for your body, that's okay. Sometimes I think about all the people I've seen be body shamed online. People will dislike you for anything. They'll hate you for being too thin, too "average", or too big. There's quite literally no winning here. If you try to care a little bit less about how others perceive your body, you'll be much happier, I promise.

A big turning point for me was realizing that no matter what size I was, pre-ed, during my ed, and during the first part of recovery, I didn't like the way I looked. So I might as well pick the choice that let me live with as little food restrictions as possible, right?

You *have* made a lot of progress with food, and you should be proud of that. The things that you're doing aren't hijacking your accomplishments. Recovery isn't linear. You're going to have bad times with your body and food, but you've still made wonderful achievements. And you *are* normal. Your size doesn't determine who you are. It can feel like it, for sure. But as an outside party, you're normal. Your mind is telling you you're not, and society may be as well. But as another person with an ed, as another human, you're normal, and you're perfect just the way you are.

I really hope this helps, and best of luck to you in your recovery. You're doing beautifully.

If you need someone to talk to, you can message me if you'd like, anon. <3 Or if you'd rather stay anonymous, you can just send more asks if that works better for you!!

March 2023 in Review

Well, I’ve finally done it to myself. My posting rate has flagged because I have overshot the limits of how much one person can reasonably do between work, family, school, and life. You can overshoot the limits for awhile, even quite a while, but eventually you pay that debt in the form of burnout at a minimum, and mental and physical and social difficulties if you wait too long to address it.…

A Particularly Chaotic Afternoon

Sitting on the edge of my chair with the explainatory detailed notes which still felt quite incomplete, I stare at my planner. February has been particularly difficult with the ongoing exams --20 percent of the course-- and the immensely effortful work. I have realised one thing about me today though, I take up more work than I can possibly complete. This inturn pushes me into an deplorable state where I feel like I've let people down.

I stare again at the planner and whip out my pen to make certainly changes. I write the possible number of hours next to each task and then add one more task in red ink.

Time for you. (2 hours)

Eventually, you're going to burnout if you live your days like they are hurdles that you need to overcome. Preventive methods like keeping time for yourself really helped me this week, and I hope to continue this.

Whilst marking the number of hours next to my tasks I realised that they overshoot the number of free hours I have in a day. That's worrying.

I've been spending weeks feeling bad about the tasks that I couldn't complete, but never really figured out that it was physically impossible for me to do that.

I've narrowed down the list now.

French.

Prepare for Advanced Processor practical exam.

Send out emails regarding research projects.

Finish the paper.

Four days, four tasks. Let's see how this goes.

How was your week?

A.R. Ammons, from "Burnout in the Overshoot", The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons: Volume 2 1978-2005

Globaler Burnout, kollektiver Erschöpfungszustand?

Deutschland setzt sich härtere Klimaziele. 65 Prozent weniger CO2 bis 2030

Plant die Bundesregierung.

Es ist höchste Zeit, dass die Menschheit beginnt sich ihrer Verantwortung über die Natur und die Erdbewohner ernsthaft Gedanken zu machen. Zu viele Jahrzehnte wurde das gedankenlos vertagt und andere, mindere Ziele wurden verfolgt. Sich ausschließlich in dieser Politik auf CO2 auszurichten, halte ich für Augenwischerei. Noch immer gibt es keine Vision für die Zukunft. Es ist ein falscher Ansatz, wenn die Politik glaubt mit solchen Insellösungen einen ganzheitlichen und nachhaltigen Beitrag zu leisten, denn es ist wie so oft, nur Symptombehandlung und re-aktives Handeln. Wir sehen es vergleichsweise in der Medizin und im Gesundheitssystem.

Symbolisch dient der Earth Overshoot Day, der sogenannte Welterschöpfungstag, zur Erinnerung daran, dass die Menschheit alle natürlichen Ressourcen aufgebraucht hat, die die Erde laut bestimmter Annahmen, innerhalb eines Jahres wiederherstellen und damit nachhaltig zur Verfügung stellen kann. Betrachten wir die Vernichtung des brasilianischen Regenwaldes, gehe ich davon aus, dass das jetzt anders aussieht.

Im Jahr 2019 lag der Tag am 29. Juli. Der Trend der letzten 25 Jahre zeigt eine deutliche Vorverlegung zu einem früheren Datum. 2003 wurde der Tag für den 22. September berechnet, 1993 für den 21. Oktober. In diesem Jahr. Würden alle Erdbewohner so wie in der EU leben, wären 2019 die weltweiten Ressourcen bereits am 10. Mai verbraucht gewesen. In 2021 wird der 6. Mai 2021 genannt.

Doch annehmen müssen wir, dass Klimaziele und Klimaneutralität nicht simpel durch Reduzierung in Deutschland von CO2 erreicht werden. Das ist Augenwischerei und ein Denken in Insellösungen. In den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika waren am 14. März die Ressourcen für 2021 bereits verbraucht.

Zudem es vorrangig an der Konsumgesellschaft liegt, der Gier nach noch mehr,, wie der Mensch mit Natur und Lebewesen umgeht. Solange die Börsen und Finanzmärkte auf Wachstumsraten setzen, der DAX über 15.000 Punkte gefeiert wird, gewettet wird um höhere Gewinne zu erzielen, wird es keine notwendige Veränderungen geben können, die für gesunde Ökosysteme und ökologisch, nachhaltige Politik sorgen wird. Das Motiv davon mag systemisch sein, liegt aber ursächlich am Menschen, seiner Moral, seinen Werten und inneren Haltung selbst.

Verstehen muss der Mensch, dass diese Situation nur durch Eigenverantwortung, Eigeninitiative, einer grundlegenden Veränderung des Verhaltens und des Mindsets verbessert werden wird. Zudem muss ein Verständnis entwickelt werden, für globale Zusammenhänge, für kollektive Systeme, Kollektivbewusstsein und einem global Brain. Nicht durch die Illusion einer CO2 Einsparung oder Klima-Lockdowns.

So wie der Mensch selbst erschöpft ist und viele im dauerhaften Burnout leben, ebenso leidet unsere Erde unter dieser Burnoutsituation. Verursacht durch einen kollektiven Erschöpfungszustand.

Change begins within.

Enjoy 20 Years of Nürburgring Wipeouts In One Incredible Mega-Compilation

There are but three constants in life: death, taxes and compilation videos of people wiping out on the Nürburgring.The Nürburgring is infamous for its touristenfahrten sessions where the 12.9-mile Nordschleife race track itself essentially becomes a one-way derestricted toll road. Anyone can take any road-legal car, and well, everybody makes mistakes sometimes. With the rise of the portable camera came the rise of the Nürburging crash and fail compilation. The Nürburgring's management may not be a fan of these videos, but short of people posting their tow and repair bills, they are a pretty convincing reminder to take it easy out there. The most fascinating one I've seen to-date is this one-hour, 18-minute-long supercut of 20 years of wipeouts from 1993 to 2013. It has absolutely everything you could ever hope to see in a 'Ring video, autel update cost. from Radwood-era youngtimers to cool stuff from earlier this decade.There's what appears to be a Porsche 911 GT2 that overshoots the corner but holds it at just 3:19 in, shooting back onto the pavement like it's no big deal. Even a Ferrari F40 boops the barrier at 31:47 in. Everything you can imagine from Volkswagen Golfs to a drop-top Benz straight-lines some corners through the grass. A too-low BMW completely wrecks the front end of his car doing just that. Needless to say, the Jeep Wrangler fared a lot better when it went off-roading.There's even a glorious beater with "THE PACE CAR" written on the roof. I wouldn't recommend following it into the grass, though.This also shows how laissez-faire the 'Ring used to be. One car right at the start rips a burnout for the crowd. Spectators would rush to overturn flipped cars, not unlike what you'd still see at rally races today. There's even a bit of drifting, which still happens, although it's officially a big no-no. There's plenty of near-misses, too. I audibly no no no NO NO'd at the screen at a Porsche 968 in here along with the 944 Cabriolet with a very brave, very cramped back seat passenger. Whatever happens, though, the crowd is there to cheer you on and wait for the rainbow to come out over your very expensive tow truck. I can't wait to get back there when crowds and international travel are doable things again-although let's all try to avoid ending up in one of these videos. If you're eager to see some present-day cars on the 'Ring, though, there's always Nürburgring 24 Hoursthis weekend.

DAILY ASTROLOGY REPORTS AND HOROSCOPES FOR, 8-4-17

Astrology Cafe Daily Astrology ABOUT TODAY DAILY MONTHLY CHART You are here: Home / Daily Astrology / Astrology of Today – Friday, August 4, 2017 Astrology of Today – Friday, August 4, 2017 Aug 3, 2017 by Annie Leave a Comment  The Moon is in Capricorn. The Moon is waxing and in its Waxing Gibbous phase. The First Quarter Moon occurred on July 30th, and a Full Moon (Lunar Eclipse) will occur in Aquarius on August 7. Mercury is in its pre-retrograde shadow (Mercury will retrograde from August 12-September 5). Times are EDT. Horoscopes Aries  Aries You’ve been dealing with serious pressures to perform with Pluto in your career sector, dear Aries, and its squares to Jupiter, first in effect in November and ending this week, come at a time when you enjoy time spent with others more than usual. This is certainly a time to do an overhaul of your career, long-term goals, or reputation/status generally speaking, but you’ll likely need to ease up on this for the sake of lessening pressures on relationships. Look for a compromise. You’ll get planetary support for toning things down, particularly as the month advances, when you should be avoiding overreaching and attempts to “do it all.” Also today, watch for misjudgment related to purchases, entertainment, and romance. Taurus  Taurus Jupiter and Pluto first formed a square in November and then revisited it in March, dear Taurus. Today, this discordant aspect forms for the third and final time, casting some tension over the week and pulling up unresolved problems related to balancing routine and adventure in your life. You may have been trying to do it all or have it all. This influence may have lead to overblown expectations that prompted putting too much pressure on yourself and others in the past year. It’s compromised your happiness, and now it’s time for some moderation! You get support for this, particularly as August advances, so that life feels less pressured all around and you no longer set unreachable goals. Even so, pushing yourself to enjoy or expect more has had some positive effects on your ambition and outlook, and you’re bringing this new vision forward with you. Gemini  Gemini Jupiter and Pluto first formed a square in November and then March, and is revisiting this tense aspect for the third and final time today, dear Gemini. This has put considerable pressure or strain on intimate relationships, your creative world, or life with children. There may have been some struggle with the level of intensity you want from your relationships. While financial, sharing and power dynamics have been tricky, you’ll now begin to put less pressure on these areas and more thoroughly enjoy yourself. Jupiter’s transit of your solar fifth house will wrap up in October, and from this week forward, you’ll have an easier time benefiting from this freeing, entertaining influence. Aim to put yourself on solid footing in your financial and emotional life rather than pressure yourself to do everything in a short period. Cancer  Cancer A Jupiter-Pluto aspect that first formed in November and then again in March returns to exactness again today for the final time in the set, dear Cancer. This influence charges up the week with intensity and ambition. Pressures in close relationships that impact your enjoyment of family life may be in focus now, but a resolution is in sight. It has been difficult getting your goals in both areas of life to cooperate. If you’ve been overdoing, obsessing, or overshooting, it’s going to be obvious now, and you’ll be looking for ways to bring expectations down to earth. Moderation isn’t easy with so much that you want to accomplish, but as this aspect fades from your life and you move closer to a Jupiter-Saturn influence as August advances, you’ll slip into an easier pace quite naturally, and your enjoyment of family and domestic life improves as a result. Leo  Leo An influence that’s been with you since November comes into stronger focus this week and then subsides, dear Leo, pulling up rather intense, competitive, and ambitious themes that impact your daily life, communications, and attitude or mindset. You’ve wanted to do it all, but you can’t push yourself so hard without paying the price, which can be tension or exhaustion. Pressures to produce or go hard with self-care and healthy living may have driven you to the point of feeling overwhelmed, especially in light of your personal interests or studies, and this works against you over time. Pacing yourself doesn’t come naturally now, but will begin to very soon, particularly related to work and health goals and coming to a better balance between duties and learning. You’ll find that your expectations become more reasonable as August advances thanks to a Jupiter-Saturn aspect. Virgo  Virgo Jupiter in your solar second house (since September and until October) has increased your desire for comfort, playing things safe, and enjoying a predictable pace, dear Virgo. However, since November, Pluto has formed a square to Jupiter, putting pressure on you with increased ambition and perhaps some obsession related to creative work, hobbies, recreational pursuits, or romance, which has presented a dichotomy within you. Taking a creative risk has been attractive but daunting all at once, and going overboard with pleasure or money can have its price, too. The tendency to overdo in too many areas of your life is subsiding, even though it’s strong this week, as the Jupiter-Pluto aspect forms for the last time in this set. You’ll find it easier to see where you’ve been pushing yourself too hard and you’ll begin to see the value of moderation, which becomes simpler in the second half of August. Libra  Libra Jupiter transiting your sign since last September has encouraged you to grow, improve, and seek out new opportunities, dear Libra. However, since November, Pluto has put pressure on Jupiter via a square aspect that has introduced tensions, conflicts, or blocks related to family or psychological issues. This aspect forms its final square today, and these themes are intense this week, but also set to subside considerably! This has been a time of wrestling with a need to stick with the familiar or with family responsibilities and the desire to spread your wings, explore, and venture out with full confidence in yourself. Aim to loosen your grip on family matters so that you can take better care of yourself and devote some time to personal goals and plans. You’ve been under a lot of pressure, and as the month advances, you’re more able to nurture your ambitions to grow, expand, and make improvements at a moderate pace. Jupiter will continue to transit your sign until October. Scorpio  Scorpio Jupiter and Pluto form a square today, dear Scorpio. This aspect first occurred in November and was exact again in March, and now forms for the final time. This influence has been pitting your love and joy found in private time or the relative background this year against a strong compulsion to take control of or stay on top of your daily affairs, projects, and studies. However, if you play your cards right, you can use it as motivation to improve and grow, and as the aspect wraps up this week, you have a better chance of doing so. An upcoming Jupiter-Saturn aspect helps you further as it encourages more moderation and a realistic pace. Do your best to minimize stress over staying on top of things — you are driven and powerful, but even you need to lay low from time to time! Sagittarius  Sagittarius Jupiter and Pluto form an exact square today, dear Sagittarius. This is the third and final square in a set that began in November. Since then, you’ve been dealing with tension or intensity surrounding personal possessions, boundaries, matters of respect, ownership, financial issues, and friendships. It’s tough to stay objective about these things with so much on the line! However, if you can use this tension as motivation or fuel to make necessary changes, then you’re in a good position. Worries about your money or security can take over your life, and this is what you need to tone down so that you can better enjoy Jupiter’s transit of your social sector. There is a need to rise above fears for growth to happen, particularly in your social life and ventures. Especially as August advances, you have cosmic support for easing back and enjoying yourself with less pressure and more moderation. Tame tendencies to push too hard, spend too much, or hold on too tightly to your resources and relationships for best results. Capricorn  Capricorn A Jupiter-Pluto transit that’s been in effect since November comes into force for the third and last time today, dear Capricorn. This aspect has taught you something about attempting to control your life and how it’s affected your pursuit of your ambitions and goals. It may have lead to excesses, immoderation, and overreaching. Pushing yourself is good, but beyond a certain point, you no longer enjoy yourself. What’s the point if pushing leads to burnout? With some adjustments and self-control, you can take the lesson from this influence and go forward more motivated and empowered. It can be beneficial to pay attention to your image and reputation now but resist the urge to maneuver these things excessively and work on self-control instead. Finding a balance between attention to your personal and professional lives is necessary now for optimum success, and a solution is in sight. A Jupiter-Saturn influence that’s building this month helps you pace yourself effectively. Aquarius  Aquarius An aspect that’s been in influence since November forms for the last time today, dear Aquarius, pulling up intensity today and this week. You are receiving great prompts to push out and discover new things and move beyond your usual boundaries, but an intensely private side or a tendency to cling to the past or help others can prevent you from going too far. You may be discovering tools to overcome fears so that you can reach higher this week. Try not to pressure yourself and allow things to unfold naturally for best results. Pacing yourself is your best bet now, even if you feel that life is running ahead of you at times these days. You’ll waste less time this way. You’ll get help from a Jupiter-Saturn aspect growing in strength as August advances that encourages just that. Moderation and realistic expectations are the way to go now. Take it easy today and strategize your next step. Pisces  Pisces Today, Jupiter and Pluto meet for the third and last time in a square aspect that first reached exactitude in November, dear Pisces. This meeting can serve to force a point regarding tension in relationships this week. Since taking effect, you’ve experienced recurring tricky themes with financial and emotional ties, worries related to dependency, attachment, indebtedness, and intimacy. You may be feeling more joy through deeper connections and commitments these days, but frustrations related to friends and casual relationships have been raining on your parade. However, these kinds of pressures may ease going forward, particularly as you adjust your expectations and try to divide your time more evenly. If you feel uncomfortable or restless, aim to lighten your load or hone what you already have going rather than take on new or additional activities. You can still grow and improve, but doing so at a steadier rate will help you avoid burnout. * Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.

Date & Time: Aug 4 2017 10:31 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mar Sqr Pal Description: Transiting Mars Square Transiting Pallas Plans temporarily seem less doable, or enthusiasm blows out of steam. Avoid hasty decisions now. Date & Time: Aug 4 2017 2:48 pm Event: Tr-Tr Jup Sqr Plu Description: Transiting Jupiter Square Transiting Pluto You can move mountains in order to achieve aims and objectives. Act with integrity. Avoid manipulative games, either your own or others’. Strong Signs, Elements, Modes BALANCE OF SIGNS LEO STRONG Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant. CAPRICORN STRONG Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous. BALANCE OF ELEMENTS FIRE STRONG Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily. AIR WEAK We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative. BALANCE OF MODES The modes are balanced. LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun. We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving. The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on August 4th: Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies. Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today). **I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime). THE MOON THE MOON IN CAPRICORN You feel secure when life is structured, or you are working hard. You may be emotionally distant or cold. You mother’s love may be limited in some way. Your mother may have been strict or cold. 8TH DEGREE OF CAPRICORN Part of Body: Lymph vessels of knee Sabian Symbol: Birds in the house singing happily. ASPECTS OF THE MOON TRINE MERCURY Orb 1°07′ Applying Our hearts or emotional needs and our minds seem to be cooperating, and we are able to communicate effectively. It’s a good time for publicity, marketing, writing, and studying. OPPOSITION VENUS Orb 2°59′ Separating We may be attempting to please others and ignoring our own needs, or tending to our own needs and alienating others. We can be feeling needy, looking for love or attention outside of ourselves. Indulgence, dissatisfaction. QUINCUNX MARS Orb 2°05′ Applying You suffer from irritability and nervous tension. You need to make adjustments and slow down. CONJUNCTION PLUTO Orb 9°51′ Applying Deeper feelings emerge. Emotional extremes can be experienced now. This can be a time that we crave or recognize the need for an overhaul – a deep, lasting change. THE SUN THE SUN IN LEO You are good-hearted, have a sunny personality, and a strong need for attention. You have a generous nature, but can be arrogant. 13TH DEGREE OF LEO Part of Body: Right ventricle of heart Sabian Symbol: An old sea captain rocking on the porch of his cottage. ASPECTS OF THE SUN CONJUNCTION MARS Orb 2°42′ Separating We are more direct, spontaneous, and impulsive now, but can also be too self-focused and impatient. QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 1°12′ Applying Dreaming, creating, and imagining have better results than hard decision making right now. There can be a temporary loss/lack of clarity. We can be questoning whether what we are doing or pursuing feeds our spiritual needs. Make adjustments if there is a discrepancy. MERCURY MERCURY IN VIRGO You have a discriminating mind, and can be critical and analytical. You can also become obsessed with detailed knowledge. This may be to your detriment in daily life, although it is very beneficial for doing any kind of research. You like to be precise in your communications with others. 9TH DEGREE OF VIRGO Part of Body: Right hepatic lobe Sabian Symbol: A man making a futurist drawing. ASPECTS OF MERCURY OPPOSITION NEPTUNE Orb 4°52′ Applying Our minds open to many different possibilities and options.

We may be dealing with deceptions or self-deceptions, and it can be difficult to be discriminating. We may not be seeing the obvious, and instead are imagining more complicated scenarios. VENUS VENUS IN CANCER You place emphasis on family relations. You will form strong emotional bonds within your own tribe. You may have an emotional need for financial security. 5TH DEGREE OF CANCER Part of Body: tenth to twelfth ribs Sabian Symbol: An automobile wrecked by a train.

You may also be arrogant. 10TH DEGREE OF LEO Part of Body: Jugular vein Sabian Symbol: Early morning dew. JUPITER JUPITER IN LIBRA You have a strong concern for justice. You are a diplomatic teacher, and express your spiritual values in your relationships. 18TH DEGREE OF LIBRA Part of Body: Fatty capsule of kidneys Sabian Symbol: Two men placed under arrest. ASPECTS OF JUPITER SQUARE PLUTO Orb 0°01′ Applying You will need to learn to have confidence in yourself even when life deals you a few blows. You range from over confident to completely lacking in confidence. The truth lies somewhere in between. SATURN SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS Saturn in Sagittarius asks us to take on the responsibility of living according to our personal truths and principles — and to be loyal to these. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those beliefs and principles that don’t accurately reflect our authentic selves.

DAILY ASTROLOGY TODAY MONTHLY Astrology of Today – Friday, April 7, 2017

Apr 6, 2017 by ANNIE LEAVE A COMMENT



The Moon is in Leo until 12:19 AM, after which the Moon is in Virgo. The Moon is void until 12:19 AM (since yesterday at 8:16 PM). The Moon is waxing and in its First Quarter Moon phase until 5:25 AM, after which the Moon is in its Waxing Gibbous phase. The First Quarter Moon occurred on the 3rd and the Full Moon will occur on the 11th. Mercury is in its pre-retrograde shadow (Mercury will be retrograde from April 9-May 3). Venus is retrograde (Venus is retrograde from March 4-April 15). Times are EDT.

Horoscopes Aries



The Sun in your sign opposes Jupiter today, dear Aries, and this can point to opposition to your plans or a conflict that can ultimately lead you to a place of greater understanding if you learn from the experience. For some, there can be a clash of egos occurring now. If you’ve been overdoing togetherness with or dependency on someone, then this can be a time of expressing your independence. As much as you enjoy company these days, there are times when you feel a little torn between going your own way and togetherness. As much as you’d like to do both sides well, you may be feeling a little confused or tired, and finding a way to tone things down makes sense now. Getting to a state of balance can be challenging but rewarding now.

Taurus



A Sun-Jupiter opposition today points to a situation in which you feel that you want to do it all, dear Taurus, but it’s simply not possible. Toning things down becomes necessary with the events of today and this week. You are looking to do your best in your work and with your fitness or health regimes, but you also have a strong pull towards rest and dealing with private matters or emotional needs. You may be giving or serving a little too much for your own good these days. You want to please everyone, grow your work and improve your health, and get the rest and time for reflection you need. However, there is only so much time in a day, and spreading yourself thin will not serve you well in the long run. Look for ways to make adjustments that lead to a healthier, more balanced life.

Gemini



With the Sun in opposition to Jupiter today, dear Gemini, you may reach a turning point in your social life or the point of culmination of a project. Sun-Jupiter oppositions always occur when Jupiter is retrograde, and they point to the need to slow things down and make adjustments before moving forward. This is likely to be about romantic, pleasure-seeking, and creative pursuits. For some of you, you may be considering whether you want to pursue your goals on your own or enlist the help of others. Aim to curb excesses when it comes to going too far out in the pursuit of pleasure or overdoing in your romantic life. Benefits are coming to you in these areas of life, but if you are going overboard, there’s the chance you’ll pass these opportunities by.

Cancer



We have just recently passed the midpoint of Jupiter’s transit through Libra, dear Cancer, and in your case, through your family and home sector. While this is an excellent time for your personal life and it will continue to be the case until October, if you’ve been spending too much time at home or on yourself, then you may see the need to tone things down a little now so that you can reach out. You also want to shine in your professional life or to move out of your comfort zone and take a few risks now, but it’s not always easy to go hard in both areas – you’ll need to come to a healthy balance. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. It makes sense to cut back on excess. With Saturn also now retrograde, simplifying makes sense now.

Leo



You may be wrestling with a situation of too much information now with the Sun’s opposition to Jupiter today, dear Leo. You have a lot on your plate these days, and it can be tough to manage everything you want to do. You have a bigger than usual appetite for taking on new interests or developing and learning about those you already have, but you only have so much time for all of these things. The trick is not to squash your enthusiasm while also drawing some limits. For some, there could be a clash of opinions or messy debate now. Consider that you may have a bigger than usual ego investment in your ideas or work right now. For others, this can be a time for a big announcement or the culmination of a publishing or learning project.

Virgo



With the Sun in opposition to Jupiter today, dear Virgo, you’d do well to look for balance. Inclinations towards excess or indulgences are high now, but you can feel as if something has to break! You’re wrestling with demands on you from others and expectations of yourself. In your relationships, you may be grappling with power dynamics or matters of ownership. If you’ve been going over the top either indulging your interests or giving to others, this is a time for feeling overwhelmed and ready to simplify. You may decide that focusing on your personal goals and values will do much more for your happiness than an excessive focus on outward signs of success or progress. Rein things in as much as possible, as simplifying now seems to be the best solution to problems. The trick, however, is to maintain your enthusiasm.

Libra



Jupiter in your sign is opposed by the Sun today, dear Libra, and you may be confronting your excesses or reaching an important turning point in your journey. A partner may be reflecting back important things about yourself. There may be some resistance from others that pushes you to face the fact that you need to make a change. Watch, however, for a tug of war that does nothing but frustrate. Balance and compromise should be sought – if you’ve been overdoing your cries for independence or freedom, for example, then this is a time for toning this down. A partner may help you see your next step, even if this is in an indirect way. Once over this hump, you may be expressing yourself in new and creative ways and adjusting your plans to suit your life better.

Scorpio



The Sun in your work and health sector these days suggests you take greater pride in your work, daily routines, and your health and wellness, dear Scorpio. This may conflict with Jupiter in your solar twelfth house encouraging you to break out of the routine and enjoy more time to yourself taking part in undemanding activities. Going hard in both directions won’t serve you well in the long run. Excesses on both sides are likely, but now you reach a turning point. This can also play out with you doing far too much for others to the point that you don’t have much energy or time for yourself. However, with today’s Sun-Jupiter opposition, you get the chance to make compromises and seek out a better work-life balance.

Sagittarius



As the Sun opposes Jupiter today, you may come to a turning point in a romantic relationship, friendship, or creative project, dear Sagittarius. There may be a project or connection that began in September that now comes full bloom. For some of you, there can be a choice between shining on your own or sharing the work and credit. For others, there can be a conflict between attention to group or friend activities and individual or romantic relationships. As much as you’d like to please everyone, including yourself, there can be the need to tone things down now. After all, you can’t spread yourself out too thin without something taking a hit. As well, although you can feel conflicted today, reaching out to others can be immensely rewarding now.

Capricorn



You have stronger ambitions to grow and improve in your career or public life, dear Capricorn, with Jupiter stimulating you to reach a little further than you normally do this year. The Sun, however, has come along to encourage you to shine in your personal life, with family, and at home. As much as you’d like to go hard in both areas, you’re realizing this week that you won’t do either well if you exhaust yourself doing too much. After all, there is only so much time and energy in a day. If you’ve been expecting too much from a project or venture, this is a time for seeing your next step. A turning point is likely for some of you with an endeavor you started in early Fall. Putting pressure on yourself to reach too high in a short period will only subtract from your joy.

Aquarius



Where you’ve been overshooting or pushing too hard for results can become quite apparent today and this week, dear Aquarius. The Sun and Jupiter reach an opposition, and projects and pursuits that may be excessive come to light. You’re finding more joy in various pursuits, studies, and personal interests these days, but as much as you want to shine in these areas, you may be overwhelmed with things to do. In fact, you still have every chance to shine, but you may need to release some of the pressure to do more than is possible. Juggling too many things can lead to a feeling of burnout, particularly with Saturn also having just turned retrograde. This is not about ending things, and more about slowing down enough to get things right.

Pisces



Merging your resources or talents with others can be very rewarding this year, dear Pisces, and this continues for some time with Jupiter in your intimacy sector blessing unions. However, with the Sun in opposition to Jupiter now, you can feel a stronger desire to succeed all on your own, presenting a conflict. The desire to merge with someone or their involvement or support may seem to clash with recent urges to make your mark or may be affecting your sense of self-worth. You want to succeed on your own merits, but you also recognize the need for others or outside resources and talents so that you can excel. This is a time for testing the waters, but also acknowledging the need to make compromises and avoid excess, even with those things that are good for you.

Date & Time: Apr 7 2017 5:25 pm Event: Tr-Tr Ura Cpl Jun Description: Transiting Uranus ContraParallel Transiting Juno

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes ARIES STRONG Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety. TAURUS STRONG Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent. VIRGO STRONG Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic. PISCES STRONG Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.

BALANCE OF ELEMENTS

EARTH STRONG We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting. AIR WEAK We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

BALANCE OF MODES

The modes are balanced in this chart.

LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun. We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 7th: Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.

Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).

**I suggest paying close attention to applying  aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over.  Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).

THE MOON

THE MOON IN VIRGO We have an emotional need for order with the Moon in Virgo. Diet, nutrition, health matters, work, and routines are in stronger focus. If we’re feeling out of sorts emotionally, we might also experience symptoms on a physical level now.

7TH DEGREE OF VIRGO Part of Body: Rectum Sabian Symbol: A harem.

ASPECTS OF THE MOON TRINE MERCURY Orb 1°45′ Separating Our hearts or emotional needs and our minds seem to be cooperating, and we are able to communicate effectively. It’s a good time for publicity, marketing, writing, and studying.

OPPOSITION NEPTUNE Orb 6°42′ Applying We may be looking for emotional happiness outside of ourselves, and have a tendency to glamorize the past or what we don’t currently have. We can be more vulnerable now.

CONJUNCTION THE NORTH NODE Orb 3°39′ Separating There is a stronger drive or need to be around others, to share ourselves, and to belong.
