how signs channel their pain, what they should do to grieve or find a productive therapeutic outlet: this thread is meant to be simplified so we can plug in different parts of our chart as needed.

moon: our feelings, mars: our drive, ascendant: how we navigate our world

all are applicable, but keep in mind this thread isn't to be cute or relatable, it's to help ppl channel their energy in ways that can help them and learn how to work thru emotion in healthier or productive ways, whatever that means to you. it's not my place to define your peace.

ARIES tends to carry this flight or fight mentality when they're faced with conflict, they like to deal with issues head-on and don't like to let them fester, but at times they can unintentionally stifle the grieving process they need to allow themselves to have in order to

reach a healthier sense of peace or clarity with what they're facing, instead of pushing through it with impulse. aries are also extremely hot bodied and active, and finding outlets they can channel aggression in productive ways is extremely helpful for them.

kickboxing, hiking, going to the club and dancing their a** off, really anything that can help them feel intune with their body is extremely important in their healing process and growth as a person

TAURUS tends to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, bite their tongue, and hold onto their pain. They let it fester in them like a sense of decay, and have a harder time working through it because they want to keep it close as a reminder, like a lesson they need to

always learn from. But they can become incredibly tense and apathetic because of this, and learning they can let go and forgive doesn't entail they're going to give the universe an excuse to hurt them again. They need outlets they can create and nurture to soften the parts

of themselves that they tend to harden when hurt. Gardening, Journaling, Running, Thrift shopping, Reading books, they need to create beautiful things to stay true to the core of who they are and what they love in life.

GEMINI tries to detach from their emotions when they are hurting, they try to take off all of the masks they carry and create one that doesn't know the pain they're facing. but they struggle to find peace because it often lingers on or manifests itself as skepticism in them -

that blockades them from being vulnerable or connecting with people on an intimate level. They are communicators and intellects and do their best when they're able to engage with things head on. Being able to express themselves or vent the things they keep hidden helps them find

a sense of peace. Journaling, talking to someone, creating music or videos, writing a story, or even giving their mind a break and watching a new movie or TV show - these all help them process what they're facing, in ways that they don't have to ignore or pretend it's not there.

CANCER feels everything like music turned all the way up, so when they are faced with hurt or pain, they often become consumed by this. but they hold a tough exterior and refuse to let people see them as vulnerable. because of this, they can appear aloof or cold but if

they're bottled up, tend to dwell on what hurts them until it transforms them into someone they're not wanting to become. because of this, they can be jaded or hardened and need to find a way to feel understood and nurtured to grieve or process what saddens them. a support system

is the most helpful here, but 4 those that struggle to find this, journaling or reading books that are sweet or romantic, watching films or anything that allows you to cry and not bottle up what is festering, music is incredibly helpful but also a safe space, candles, a cozy bed

LEO like all cats want to lick their wounds in private, they have big chest cavities that puff out as a front, and even bigger hearts beneath them, but typically only want to be seen in a light that makes them appear courageous and strong. they struggle with being emotionally

vulnerable because they feel it compromises their integrity, so they often want to isolate themselves when they're sad. they struggle to believe in sentiments and feel like a compliment is an ulterior motive to butter them up, but become jaded and ruthless because of this. they

need an avenue that gives them hope, when they're feeling dim and need to often feel creative or inspired to recover from pain. connecting or engaging with others thru hobbies like writing, v/blogging, also vitamin d is crucial.. sunbathing, tanning, a walk thru the park.

VIRGO often struggles to find balance in their personal life, they will drown out their sadness or grief with an extra workload. they are the kind of person that often finds themselves comforting others when they need it the most. if they're not cautious they can get swept away

with needing to serve others that they lose themselves, and will receive big waves of emotion unexpectedly and become frustrated or even cold because of this. they are incredibly sensitive, but struggle to engage with their vulnerability, and often try to ignore their needs to

run away from their emotions. they need peace and quiet, a nice comforter, a clean home, a new recipe to teach themselves, or being able to mentally engage themselves in learning a new skill, sometimes they need to hide away to recharge themselves and become okay again.

LIBRA often handle their struggles or sadness by either avoiding it completely and putting attention on other people or having huge waves of emotion that they struggle to hide or know how to channel positively. because of this, they can become incredibly aloof or detached to

avoid causing discourse, because they're so sensitive with the needs of others that they can become easily depleted because of this, but in turn could stifle feelings they need to work through or be honest about with other people in their lives. they need an outlet that makes

them feel understood: making lists, organizing their home, having time to themselves + giving themselves a mental break from needing to accommodate everyone else, trying to identify and discuss their needs instead of hiding them will help them connect w themselves + others

SCORPIO is incredibly hidden and private about how they process their emotions. They won't let just anyone see them cry, and if you have seen them cry you're incredibly close to them. They have a way of compartmentalizing their pain and keeping them disclosed in tiny boxes to

open later on behind closed doors. But if they aren't handled properly, it becomes a Pandora's box of everything they refuse to deal with and can be easily consumed by. They carry a lot of pain and distrust for things that have gone sour in their life and can become resentful

because of this. They need to be able to get away from the world to decompress, due to being naturally empathetic they can be drained easily because of this. Postmating a nice meal while binging Netflix, Painting, creating music or a story helps them process their pain healthily.

SAGITTARIUS needs to mentally escape when feeling saddened or hurt by something when initially shocked they need a moment to themselves, to be able to set it down and pick it back up later. They often want to keep things light or offer advice for others, but struggle with

accepting help or comfort when they need it most. Sentiments can feel uncomfortable for them, and they often want to run away entirely when things feel too heavy. Being able to decompress with nature is incredibly important for them. A hike, going to a new city, a town festival

even being able to pack a picnic and catch pokemon in the park is small but incredibly peaceful for them. They find comfort in sunlight and need time to process through things alone before they can regroup with loved ones and friends. They have to go through it alone, first.

CAPRICORN needs to pour themselves into their aspirations when they feel defeated, to remind themselves of their hopes and dreams. They are governed by the need to be useful and provide for themselves and are incredibly private about their sadness because of this.

As much as they want to take on extra shifts at work, scrub linoleum with a toothbrush, or remodel their living room to focus their energy on something physical. They can repress what hurts them and prevent themselves from healing properly if they ignore what's really happening.

Things that could be really useful for Capricorn are cheesy movies, going to an art museum, a wine tasting, buying new ingredients for a recipe from Pinterest, being able to nurture themselves and eventually allowing themselves to discuss it with people closest to them.

AQUARIUS pours their energy into other people, similarly to Libra, they want to help others and empathize with others. They often put themselves on the back burner because of this and carry the burden of struggling to express what they feel or think to put others first

so when they are initially hurt, they go into hiding. They are easily drained by the world and struggle to feel understood in general. So when they are faced with grief or sadness, they initially want to be alone. They have a lot of faith in humanity but can distrust people

as individuals, which can leave them easily jaded or cutthroat. They have to find outlets that make them feel decompressed: Music, creating art or literature, reading comic books, anything outdoors like camping or hiking, and athletic hobbies like running are useful for them

PISCES is incredibly clairvoyant and often look to heal others hoping it'll somehow remedy what hurts them as well. They are similar to Sagittarius, where they must initially block out what is hurting them to cope or process their thoughts. They often want to surround themselves

with good company or new friends, vs. sitting too long in isolation. They need to feel encouraged creatively and nurtured to feel better about what they're going through. They may choose to lean on someone, but can still feel incredibly mysterious about what bothers them.

They don't like to fuss over themselves and often can suppress what they shouldn't because of this. Positive outlets for them: Going to a movie, a walk through a forest, a museum, painting, going to a party with friends, or going out to eat alone somewhere nice with a good book
