I was watching The OA the other night, and I thought to myself, “Whoa, this is one helluva claustrophobic show.”
Every scene leads to some kind of breath-grabbing trap, where the characters are all gasping for air.
And while this is mere fiction, it got me thinking about astrology and how some of us get that trapped feeling more often than not.
While The OA is a TV show, and the parts about being trapped are fictional and over the top, it’s still not unrealistic for us to feel as though we too can be trapped, or at least feel it in some very acute ways.
What makes the zodiac signs feel trapped?
Each zodiac sign has their own special version of what it’s like to feel trapped.
We don’t all fear or run from the same things, nor are we programmed or designed to feel trapped simply because something traps us.
Depending on our sun sign, we tend to express or feel that claustrophobic sense of entrapment in different ways.
SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
You feel confined by other people’s freedom.
You do not like when others get their way, and your dire resentment for the happiness others have is enough to make you feel trapped within your own hate.
You can’t control everything, and the desire to control all things is exactly what keeps you trapped.
