Sun Placements

Sun Sign: the "core" of a person. This is your ego, your foundation. This placement describes your center. This is the sign most people will know when you ask them what they are. Even if you don't particularly connect to your Sun Sign, most of your thoughts and reactions are filtered through here at some point. Your guiding force and driving will.

Sun in Aries: enthusiastic, optimistic, and rash. Wears their heart on their sleeve, often will let you know what is on their mind.

On the topic of being obsessed with introspection and “self discovery”, i recently read something by Viktor Frankl which I feel fits the whole following of astrology/mbti/personal discovery etc very well. He said that, because life has become void of meaning for many, because there is an “existential vacuum”, we compensate by “psycho-analyzing” ourselves, sharing our psychological problems and insights with others, discussing them, etc (and he predicted this development in the 40s!). An existential vacuum leads to an obsession with the own psyche that can be the cause of neuroses and its pseudo-therapy. Self-reflection can in itself be the root of many problems. I had a talk with someone about how phases of self-reflection and lots of journaling are often the least mentally stable and happy ones. When we feel good, we do not feel the need to conduct some sort of self-therapy. Viktor Frankl also came up with the concept of using a paradoxical intention for healing neuroses. A patient with insomnia, for example, cannot sleep because they so rigidly and obsessively try to sleep, which hinders them from relaxing into an unconscious state. So a paradoxical intention would be “for a change, why don’t you try to not sleep tonight, and just relax and think about something nice?” - which then makes them fall asleep quickly. Maybe by setting the paradoxical intention “i will not try to figure myself out and heal myself” many of the problems which were simply rooted in obsessing over yourself will take care of themselves.

why are pisces such psychopath magnets?

They truly believe they can “fix” them and allow others to take advantage of them because they can’t really see what’s going on in reality.
