My nodal axis and gaming addiction

I think this it is about video games and not casino games.

I had the same problem with semi-addiction to a video game that seemed to never get old (in my case it was Quake3). I stopped playing after I finally made the switch from my big 21" CRT to a more practical LCD. Playing Quake3 on a 60Hz LCD is just not the same as on a CRT at 120Hz refresh rate. As a gamer you can probably understand. But then I was planning on getting one of those big screen 120Hz LCD .

Now back to astrology. Mercury, your 4th house ruler is conjunct Uranus so I think that explains why you like to play video games (Uranus) especially older games (4th house: past, nostalgia) at home (4th house).
Also, Venus in Aquarius probably makes you more likely to consider video games as a fun activity. Saturn square Venus could be what is bringing those feelings of guilt when you are having fun playing games.

Maybe a good alternative would be to use the originality and creative force of Mercury conj. Uranus to design games instead of playing games. Uranus (technology, video games) conj. MC (career). Also, Jupiter ruler of 10th house is located just inside of 12th house could mean career involving your imagination (creating imaginary world in video games). Also Mars in pisces sextile Neptune trine Pluto (strong imagination?). Mercury 4th house ruler conj. Uranus in 10th house could mean work using computer, from home. No cummute so more free time to play games (but now without all the guilt).

My sun trine moon, I have read is such an easy aspect that the person may find it hard to come out of his/her shell, so with all these other aspects I am finding it hard to stop playing games alot.

What do you think would help me with this, can you provide insight in this matter?

First, I would blame Mars in Pisces for gaming, since Pisces tends toward escapism. You need to have an outlet for that Mars. If not gaming then what? Remember that there are worse things than gaming that a badly working Pisces will do, at lest gaming doesn't outright hard your health like drugs and drinking. how about some more creative outlet? Writing? Painting? Music? Maybe even programming games?

If nothing else helps, how about aiming for games that are more social? An MMORPG? Facebook games? Sports? Maybe even discussing events in those games with people?

EDIT: Also see last paragraph from Mtle640 above about Merc con Uranus in 10th.

Games that are more social I dont think will help.

I have thought somewhat about this since the lase post and I think strangly in my case my sun-moon trine is actually causing me to lack motivation of all kinds (too self-satisfied). The other thing is that my sun's ruler and my moons ruler are square to eachother and my AC is squaring my saturn as well this seems to be a very difficult aspect, and of course my nodes are in on that also.

Saturn opposing my moon doesn't help............

The sun moon trine makes me too self-satisfied to break out of the addiction or at least isolation that mars in pisces is in, so mabie I have to motivate myself some more.

So its very interesting to my about my sun-moon trine and their ruling planets (saturn-venus) squaring eachother and my AC.

It seems like a strange configuration.

Also I seem to have a case of the lone wolf syndrome given my venus in aqua, merc in saj and jupitor in the 12th and in cap (that is what the thread about it said). This probably doesn't help either.
