…..
Has anyone ever looked up their birth/natal chart? I did today and started researching and now I worry about things I didn’t worry about before. I feel like I opened up a new phobia.

My mom’s obsessed with all that stuff, so yes. But I’m not, so she can say whatever random stuff she wants. It doesn’t affect me because I don’t let it.

When I first started with NOCD one of my biggest triggers was astrology relationship related stuff. I grew up with a mother who would tell me if a friendship wouldn’t work out because of our signs, or if I did something she didn’t like she would say “that’s such a Gemini trait.” I never truly believed in it but it started to scare me when I was in serious relationships that we may not work out because of some predestined chart. Especially since the first thing she does when she meets someone is ask what their birthdate is🙄 I’ve learned to accept that I can’t control that stuff but I can control my actions. And I don’t have to know if it’s fate that I’m with my fiancé because I choose to be with him. Astrology is cool but it doesn’t have to control the outcome of your life. Try making some Erps about it. To work on my own I had to read astrology related stuff that said my fiancé and I might not be compatible and just sit with that😅

As someone who wholeheartedly believes in astrology, your natal chart doesn't define who you are. Your natal chart suggests what you're like at your core, similar to genetics in the way that they're with you for life but they don't affect much. In my opinion, your characteristics are mostly defined by learnt behaviours and how you've been brought up to see the world. Even your traits from your natal chart can be controlled and altered throughout your life, you generally have full control over who you are and who you are becoming. Your natal chart just gives guidance about your inner traits

For example, I'm on the cusp of Leo and virgo, Virgos are suggested to be serious and stern, and I know I can be like that sometimes. I switch instantly and go into a serious and stubborn mindset, that might not be wholly because I'm a virgo, but even so, I can still be aware of when I'm like that and how I'm acting, and I can manage it accordingly. Your birth charts give you awareness of what you *can* be like

My OCD has definitely used my horoscope before to latch onto as 'evidence' that my fears are true. Madness when you think about it and I can laugh about it looking back but the fear felt so real. I'd take this as a prime example of OCD looking for evidence of stuff you need to worry about. Tell it you don't need to worry, tell it you don't need to answer these questions.

Just read something about astrology that was kinda triggering. This girl was going through different ideas (for example ‘most toxic trait in each sign’ or ‘something each sign needs to hear’) and truthfully I found each thing SO relatable to me. I’m an Aquarius and whilst I’ve always found astrology cool, I’ve always felt it was a bit fake and inaccurate. But what I read in her videos was almost too true. She talked about jealousy issues (which I have struggled with for over a year now) and how aquarius’ never express it. I always repress my envy for people because I’m ashamed of it. There were a couple other things she mentioned that I resonated with. A lot. So when she went on to talk about how Aquarius’ have God complexes and hierarchy issues, I got anxious. Being a narcissist is my worst fear and obsession with OCD. She said my sign lacks compassion which scares me too. Naturally I wouldn’t care too much because I see astrology as a little far fetched sometimes. But the fact that she got some things spot on is what makes it so believable.

Tarot and ocd
Anyone else super into the metaphysical? Like, YouTube astrology videos and tarot readings? I keep watching stuff about the "age of Aquarius" that we are entering, and how it's going to cause some "identity shifts" in individuals. I've been spiraling out of control everytime I hear this phrase being used. I automatically think it means my sexual identity is changing/going to change/already did?! To top it all off, I keep getting LGBT content recommended to me on all social media platforms. It feels like the universe is trying to send me signs that I'm actually a Lesbian and not a woman who loved men?! I can't take it anymore. I can't even be around my bf or say "I love you" without overthinking that! ? We are about to celebrate our 3 years anniversary together and I STILL am dealing with this stupid theme!!!???

Horoscope reading triggered me
Hey everyone, my mum gifted me a birth chart reading as a birthday present. I don’t necessarily believe in astrology but its fun to hear, yk? So today I went and got my birth chart analyzed and and she said something that really triggered me. Most of the things she said were true, some things even were realllyyy specific and true. So in the last 10 Minutes she wanted to explain what Lilith meant in my chart. She listet a few things and one of them was „accept your homosexuality/transsexualitiy“ and now I am very scared. I’ve been dealing with soocd and Rocd for the last 3 1/2 years and lately Ive been doing quite good. But that phrase shook something in me :,) Does anyone have an idea on how I can deal with this feeling. I know astrology does not necessarily need to be true or 100% true and she also said things that didn’t apply to me but I am so scared. How can I deal rn..?
