Sounds like you're hard on yourself to the point of paralysis, or maybe that's just me projecting. lol
Everyone keep saying the same thing too. Lol
I'm turning 24 this year btw.
And..whoa..
There're definitely a lot of going on in your life. That family and friend deaths too. I'm sorry for your loss, I hope everything is going well for you and for everyone around you. Uranus is indeed scary sometimes.
For addiction, since I have quite same Neptune placement, I honestly have zero experience with drugs, alcohol, and ciggarettes. After knowing astrology, I'm extra cautios to addicting things. I can't even handle ciggarettes bcus its smokes and caffeine bcus they're so bitter 😅
Anyway, some people said, we just have to project Neptunian energy (or Pisces since they share same energy) in different way. Since I'm a big fan of kpop and love arts, so I just spent my energy on those things. Sometimes they act as a distraction/escape. If you have creative/neptunian streak, maybe try to channel it? Many people said it does help a lot of times.
But I don't really have any idea for pisces steallium. Maybe that contribute too.
Friends exodus definitely not happening, in fact it kinda reverse lol. Every people (friends) that I try to avoid suddenly just come to my life. Life definitely not in my favor back then 😅, but now I just accepted it and get along with them.
For uni, I sincerely wish you the best. My friend was having the same situation last year. She alrdy on her 11 semester and kinda stuck. I don't understand what's blocking her. But after a major down and shock, she suddenly finished her thesis for just 3 weeks! (usually we take 1-2 months)
I think you need someone to help you to orginize (?)
As for my friend, I tried assisting her sometimes and tried to understand what's blocking her. There was this time that I had enough and was unable to help, and voila, she suddenly finished everything in a blink of eyes. By herself. Lol
I believe you can do it and will definitely finish your school according to ur plan. Don't try too hard, but remember to make new progress everyday.
You'll make it. After all you are a cap rising with Aries sun 😉. Believe in yourself. We just have it rough and definitely tougher these past years, but we never surrender. That's not in our blood lol.
I wish you sincerely the best.
