At your own risk/discretion, seriously take HEED - proof of Pisces intuition/shamanism, gory details

[UTUSN]

So in the 1970s what's-your-sign was a fad (along with alternate stuff, Jesus-freaks, scientology, vitamins, health foods, Jane FONDA workouts, blah blah), and I am superficial, never went deep for anything of anything, but 40+ years later check the horoscopes almost daily while saying I don't believe in them. One of those piercing Libras said, "You *ARE* what you practice!" But proof of my non-compliance is that I regularly and enthusiastically disregard the '70s wisdom of "don't eat fried foods," although I abide by "milk fat is the WORST" and only use non-fat milk.

So the rap on Pisces back then was that we are moody, mealy mouthed, overly "sensitive," blah blah. Grudgingly they would say on the positive side that we are intuitive, able to see stuff coming, whatever. In my work life and ever always I gravitate to find out what Sign people are, although my focus is on the signs I've had the most contact with: Pisces, Cancer, Libra, Scopio, Leo, Aries, Taurus, Aquarius, Gemini, Virgo. For who-knows-why reasons I have zero clue about Sagittarius, Capricorn, who's left.

Anyway, I'm 78. Have had a load of recovery or hashing over of something concerning family stuff from when I was 10 (no, not abuse on me, but emotional trauma). So I've kept a total distance from a whole branch of people for 68 years, carrying the load around.

So this morning out of the blue I looked up somebody's name and the internet said that person will be 91 years old this year. Period. Then this evening I got a message from one of the Disconnected Ones informing me that that person passed today.

*** Repeating, I don't wish the passing on whomever. Am commenting on the Pisces reputation for intuition.

Disregard at will.

1. I get it. A certain person is on your mind, not

just in passing, but enough to get you to look them up. Then boom, they're gone, not that you had anything to do with it. I would have said it was random, except for the fact that you spent time researching them.

2. That's like KRASNOV telling today's Germans they lost WW II and the Chancellor

telling him that, no, they were freed from the Nazis.

To be clear, what started when I was 10 has been a life altering, chronic burden for 68 years, not just a one-day's thought. Some have said get-over-it or philosophically change how to see it. Nope, it happened, it's real, it impacted. I didn't just happen to think one day. But thanks for saying this death had nothing to do with me. Just like the original thing, its happening is what I saw happening, not my doing but rather done to my witnessing.

3. I've had a few intense "knowing" episodes.

It usually started with a brief, intense vision while I was very relaxed and had a clear head. For example, being 25 miles away from my mother, but seeing her sitting on the side of her bed crying. Thirty minutes later I got home and that was exactly what I saw. She was grieving the loss of an elderly relative she was close to.

Another time I had a feeling on at least two occasions that someone was in my apartment watching me, but not in a malicious way. The second time it happened, it felt like I could "see" something, and I recognized him. I called his name, and told him it was okay to visit me. I never saw him again because the next day I called his sister and she told me he had passed away about a week ago. She told me I was on a list of people to be called. I explained it wasn't necessary because he visited me twice. She envious of me in her grief, snd she was probably too upset to feel his presence. I told her that he was okay, he just wanted me to know he had passed.

There have been other experiences.

4. Some of my problem with my OP is not wanting to disclose the original situation yet posting about it.

Like, why do the James JOYCE and FAULKNER type of creators choose to be nearly incomprehensible expecting some others to devote large chunks of personal resources trying to decipher the stuff?

In my defense, my real point was about a life altering burden ending.

But embedded here is that we both (I think) don't believe in the superstition of astrology yet (I think) allow for intuition being real.

5. Yeah, I think I needed a little more

closure of the end of your story. I try not to read between the lines too much because it can cause misunderstandings. My nature, my bad. Anyway, I'm glad this burden has been removed.

9. All fine, ty.

6. I'll give you a few helpful insights about the Saturn ruled Capricorn

Cappies are a cardinal earth sign and are ambitious, hard working, stable and responsible.


Cappies like to solve problems and are practical. We do have a tendency to be stubborn at times. We always stand up for the little guy and ourselves. We like our set morning routines.


My best advice to other Zodiacs: Don't ever talk smack about a Capricorn in front of another Capricorn. You'll automatically go on a Cappie's shit list which is impossible to recover from.

8. Hah, nice! - luckily I didn't know enough to talk smack!

10. Hah, sounds like my usual horoscope.

11. I lean toward coincidence

91 is old so end is predictable. Trauma thought of often links to person often as well, this I would call a "constant" as in math. So the variable is the look-up. To me with no emotional connection it seems coincidental.

Not that I haven't ever had weird experiences, just doing outside logic looking in.

[UTUSN]

13. Fine, no problem at all. Just (having to) repeat that the original events that happened over a year,

consisted of decisions made by others about their own lives, that played out traumatically in front of me and then, after those other people reached their own resolution for better or worse, the impact on me determined my own decisions and lack of resolution for me. Repeating, a burdensome trajectory over 68 years, perhaps in a long diminuendo like an old wound lessening but never gone.

As for the "coincidence" part and the age of the participants when they died, I don't dispute that the great ages at death are largely expected, although it happens at any age (it's mind-grabbing in every day news when a wild Rocker dies and is younger than I am).

But I'll repeat that the "coincidence" part in my specific situation sharply contrasts with the 68 years of the traumatic burden, which is my point. This is to say (repeating and repeating), I didn't just wake up this recent day and thought about these events and people out of the blue: I've thought about them every single day for 68 years. And, yeah, this recent news might have happened on any one of 24,820 days, point taken. And I'm not linking it to glee or to the illusion that the burden will be fixed, disappear by magic and completely.

I think that where I have gone awry with all this is to cast it in a flippant tone about astrology, mixing up vehicles instead of keeping them separate: Like, make up the mind whether to treat the subject seriously or not. Like, snails vs porn - uh, oh, don't want to throw things off even more.

15. I understand (mostly)

Pondering is good metal exercise, worry can be more of a problem.
May your worries diminish to pondering status.

12. Once when I was about 12

I was thinking about a girlfriend and decided to phone her. I picked up the phone to dial, but there was no dial tone. I said, "hello?", and the girlfriend I had intended to call responded!! Totally freaked us both out. Yes, I am a Pisces. And she was not my best friend, or even someone I called on a regular basis

14. I get it. Took me a few seconds.
