I am also a Sagittarius sun with Pluto in Scorpio.
-How religious/spiritual are you and why? Well I grew up in a fairly conservative house. My parents are faithful church goers on Sundays, and I spent every Sunday there until I graduated high school. In college, I did attend religious-based groups for about two years before encountering personal struggles (non-faith based personal issues). I tried to use religion and spirituality to help me during this time, but slowly my beliefs have morphed and altered within the span of the last 8 or so years. I still am spiritual to some extent, but I also do not feel confident in confirming my beliefs one way or another. I think I am still searching.
-How materialistic are you? More than I am willing to admit to myself, lol. Part of me wants to live on a commune where we grow gardens and use natural soaps and provide for each other and generally help one another without focusing our lives on money. But then my Leo moon kicks in and reminds me that I enjoy nice things and want a pretty little house one day that I can construct or remodel to my desire. I left a job as a social worker to pursue a career where I earn more money. Honestly, I feel so much better with my career change. (To be fair, money was not the only reason for a job change.)
-What gives your life meaning? Love and happiness. Sometimes I feel like my life is a roller coaster of emotional, physical, and mental struggles, but it's the feel-good moments with loved ones that I truly live for. I also can't imagine going a day without laughing. How miserable would it be otherwise?
-Have you ever experienced an emotional catharsis and what was the cause of it? To some degree, yes. I still don't feel as though I have truly released all of the repressed emotions I have within me. To some degree it comes out in my writing. I write stories whereby the characters will experience or act on my own repressed thoughts or feelings.
-What do you hate and fear the most? I feel like I have many different talents and ways I can help others. My biggest fear is that I become severely disabled or die and am unable to accomplish what I want. The frustration I feel by indulging in that fear just leads to anger.
-Describe your utopia(optional) People don't hurt each other; clean energy; organic foods; we heal the planet in a way that we can continue to thrive on it (the earth will eventually repair itself - it's humans who are in danger of extinction); we care for others and work together, not taking advantage of one another.
-Describe your dystopia (optional) Greedy; excessively materialistic (I know I said I want a nice house, but not like a mansion or anything); we harm others without remorse; no empathy; using your damn cell phone all the time and posting pictures and videos online without the consent of the people in the picture/vid (this is just a pet peeve of mine)
-How many friends do you have? How many would you want? What function do your friends serve in your life? I don't have a lot of friends in one general area. I have two friends from high school I still speak with every few months, three good friends from college I speak with every one-to-two weeks, some good friends from my old job I keep up with every month or so, and a few friends from my current position - it's still kept fairly surface level. I generally take a lot of time to develop trust in a friendship. Some of these people know others; some don't. It's all very compartmentalized because I have lived in different regions.
-What you miss most about your childhood Feeling happy and carefree. I must admit my childhood was really good on the whole. My parents worked a lot, so I spent a lot of time with babysitters or in daycare. I picked up a lot of interesting social cues from that. I was more of an observer than action-oriented. Because they worked so much, my parents could afford to take us on a vacation to Disney World or to the mountains etc every couple of years, so on the whole, I consider my childhood really great. I did develop some anxiety toward the fear that my parents would leave me (either through death, divorce, or just leaving). I was pretty young when I began having these fears, telling myself "if they just stay around until I'm 8, 9, 10, etc., I will be okay." As I got older, it turned into "if they just stay around until my siblings turn 9, 10 ,11...and so on." When they weren't working, I absolutely hated when they would leave us. Now that I'm older, I understand their needs to get away from work and kids; they needed a break once in a while. As a kid, though, I felt betrayed in a sense. (I am/was somewhat dramatic.)
-What hurt you the most as a child I was - and am- a very sensitive person. As a child, I think what upset me most is when an adult would yell at me. I could be defiant at times and did not care, but other times I was painfully shy.
