Dear Elsa,
It seems like I am karma's bitch. Every time I think my life is getting on track, somehow it gets derailed. Sometimes it's a little thing - but more often than not, it's something that's huge and bad.
I struggle in relationships. I am constantly being torn between my family and my life. It's getting to the point where I've stopped saying, "It's going to get better, it has to eventually' and have just started giving in to my inevitable land of suck.
It's hard not to wonder what you did wrong, when things just keep falling apart! I know as an Aries, things aren't always going to be sunshine and kittens... but please, is it ever going to lighten up just a bit? I'm a really good person who deserves a break now and then.
Aries in a Vise
Dear Aries,
Are you prone to depression? Yes. Is your life subject to intense upheaval? Yes. Is this ever going to evaporate? No.
And I’m sorry, because I believe you are a good person. But as you’ve noticed, you’ve been dealt these cards. And you’ve got to play them in the most inspired way you can - as opposed to waiting for a different hand to be dealt when it’s never going to happen.
I have some tips. First: in spite of having your Sun in Aries, you are primarily Virgo and Pisces. This means you must serve or suffer. And I’m talkin’ on a daily basis. If you accept this as your mission, I think you will find support. From the universe in various forms, but also a solid feeling inside that you can only get via fulfilling your destiny.
And perhaps it will look like this: you help people, help people, help people, and then WHOOPS! A bomb goes off, so you stop to mop up. Because in your life, this happens, doesn’t it?

I could have written your post word for word and I do not have Pisces or Virgo. I am an Aries with an Aquarius Rising 3/23/78 5:02AM EDT. I feel like everything I read about Aries is exactly true for me personality-wise. I am a born leader, but life won't let me lead. I can never get a promotion or a good "leader" position and I feel like such a failure in every facet of my life. One challenge after another and like you, big stuff not just little stuff. So I get it, totally. And I no longer will accept anyone telling me things will get better. They won't, I have to face it. While it's nice to know I'm not alone, I'm sorry you have the same crappy existence that I do. :(
