Why are we lurking?

How can we pull out if it?

What's the influence?

How can we work with/over come it?

I'm sure everyone does it once they're comfy with the boards...

I don't think it's just the Scorpio moons.  I'm feelin' it here, too - this Mars Rx has just been awful to deal with so far.  It stationed Rx in my 12th in an extremely tight square to my 3rd H Neptune and I'm decidedly less talkative than normal.  Feeling overwhelmed at the mo.

:-/

Hopefully it shakes off soon...

I'd like to have some enlightenment on this topic, too. AND would like to have any insight on if you  (Scorp Moons) are doing this in the rest of your life offline as well and why.

I have a couple  in my life that are in thier "I've gone missing" phase.

@Kashmere, yeah in my offline life to. I'm more solitary, less social. Just work and see to the kids..

Gotta pull out of it ;(

LTG - has it always been that way or is it just a phase of not wanting to be social?

Scorpio energy goes where it feels fed.

My withdrawal into lurkdom has been both on and off-line for the past few months.  I've also got Saturn transitting my 12th and Pluto squaring my Sun going on.  My progressed Moon is in the 10th in Virgo, which is very uncomfortable with airing my emotions publicly as it is squaring my N. Scorpio Moon.

I've been forcing myself, but I hope you all can cut a girl some slack, ehe?

*cops to being in lurk mode*

I've been so busy I haven't even had time to look up the astro for it (I have three part-time jobs), but also I just don't have anything of value to SAY.  A few times I wrote responses to a thread, then deleted because they seemed lame to me.

Mostly I've just had time to scroll through the blog and boards, read a few posts then it's off to the races again.  For example, it's 4:30 a.m. here, I'm slurping my 2nd cup of coffee, then I have until 9 a.m. to work on my city auditor stuff, then it's off to my other job at the treatment center where I'll be until 4 p.m.  When I get home from there I'm usually so fried I couldn't tell you my own name, let alone something that will add value to the discussions here.  I spend evenings and weekends writing for my 3rd part-time job - I'm part of a plant survey project and I'm doing the lit review part of it.

Also I posted somewhere in January about a long string of deaths here in our small community which kinda forces a person to get quiet for a while.  It was pretty bad:  young people, old people, it leaves all kinds of holes in a person's life.  One was my aunt and another was a much-loved uncle who was more like an older brother.  And my sister developed lung cancer; what extra time I've had has been spent with her.  Her daughters picked this time to get in a spat with her; it's been awful for her.  It's been crazy crazy!

So let's see:  between Uranus in Aries 6th and Pluto in Cappy 3rd, my plate's been pretty full!  Throw in Saturn on the Asc., then retro, and it's a pressure cooker. But thanks for this thread, it gives me a way to touch base and let you know what's happening.  Hope all's well with the rest of you guys!

While I was in the midst of making decisions about my life, I couldn't talk.  The situation was too complex.  I didn't have the energy to explain myself in order to get feedback.  Now that I am clear how I feel about everything that's been happening I have the energy to communicate on those subjects again.  

It was more than a year of shit, starting with getting laid off from my job, then getting a new job with some crazy shop dynamics, then the demise of my marriage.  New shop owner, new car and the end of the fighting and I am like a new person.  

It's unintentional. A combination of being quite tired in the evenings after work, trying to spend less time online and more time actually doing stuff around the house and socializing, and also sometimes feeling like I have nothing of value to add. But I am here today and feel as chatty as can be, considering my chart :)

My new friend has scorpio moon and uranus. She is amazing, i find so much in common with her. Especially her sarcasm, emotional depth and sense of humour really appeal to me:)

hmm, my sis is Scorp sun and she's off my radar and has been for a couple months now at least.  It's very frustrating for me but she does this periodically.  I just have to remind myself not to take it personally.  I would mirror it to her so she knew how it felt but I doubt she'd even notice...

I've been posting lately but have a long history of lurkdom and still can go *missing* for months at a time. When I do that, it's due to my personal issues - health and other life situations that either make me need to retreat or that simply drain me to the point that I've got nothing to contribute.

Kashmere, I am generally considered a VERY social person. A good friend/business partner actually talked to me just over a month ago about my lack of social strength right now. She was very concerned because Im hiding and not using the skills I need to get some where in one of our businesses. That I just can't seem to make myself go out and shake hands. Which is normally one of my strengths. This made me think of my consult with Elsa back in Dec and about a prison I locked myself in some years ago.

the first thing I did was tell myself that no matter how I feel 1 time per week I will put on my make up just to go grocery shopping and will keep my head held high while I do it.

It was a start.. I think my suns ruler Neptune has been fucking with me and I didn't even notice at first...

Im now entering my Neptune square Neptune

And yes I bet Uranus has something to do with it for me too. Its in my 11th and my business partner and I are also doing medical billing now. I graduated Massage school in Oct and it has been slow getting started. In Jan I started doing medical billing. Its actually a good combination. I do a massage then do billing then maybe I have another massage. The computer work grounds me because wow can this pisces/scorp float off when not using her Gemini ASC/saturn for any length of time..

the down side is I dont use the computer for fun anymore ... only my phone for the boards.. which makes it hard to type a decent post or response. But tonight I got on to make a decent response.

Also we only have 1 charger cord for 2 lap tops in our house and one of the laptop batteries is no good so it has to be plugged in to work.. hoping to buy another one in the next couple weeks.

Anyone have any ideas to change the tide and pull out of this??
