the signs as words for emotions that we all feel but can never describe

oceanstrology:

aries: rückkehrunruhe- the feeling of returning home after an immersive trip only to find it fading rapidly from your awareness.

taurus: enouement- the bittersweetness of having arrived in the future, seeing how things turn out, but not being able to tell your past self.

gemini: lachesism- the desire to be struck by disaster – to survive a plane crash, or to lose everything in a fire.

cancer: heartworm- a relationship or friendship that you can’t get out of your head, which you thought had faded long ago but is still somehow alive and unfinished.

leo: occhiolism- the awareness of the smallness of your perspective.

virgo: mauerbauertraurigkeit- the inexplicable urge to push people away, even close friends who you really like.

libra: altschmerz- weariness with the same old issues that you’ve always had – the same boring flaws and anxieties that you’ve been gnawing on for years.

scorpio: sonder- the realization that each passerby has a life as vivid and complex as your own.

sagittarius:  anemoia- nostalgia for a time you’ve never known.

capricorn: opia- the ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable.

aquarius: kenopsia- the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet.

pisces: onism- the frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time.
