Emotions begin very quickly , so quickly in fact that our conscious does not participate in or even witness what in our mind triggers an emotion at any particular moment. Sometimes that speed can saves our lives in an emergency but in can ruin our life when we overreact.
Anxiety is an uncomfortable feeling of fear or imminent disaster. Normally is an emotional response to danger. What makes a person anxious may not create the same response in someone else. Sometimes facing the fears we have can make us realize that there really isnt much to fear.
For instance, being afraid to speak publicly is a common problem but if you think about it, the more you talk the easier it will become. Self-worth anxieties taken on through the early homelife experiences it affects our relationship dynamics. In life we all have problems, personal frustrations and disappointments. So often we are confronted with the uncertainty requiring choices between the possible options. Dilemmas easily comes up and we must deal with it.
The anxiety develops. Anxiety being an emotion is what motivates our behavior. If he emotional state is unpleasant we try rapidly to end it from the pain. If the emotional state is pleasant the person tries to repeat it over and over again. We are permanently conditioned. We unconsciously create life-patterns of behavior !
Astrologically, Mercury is the observer of our conditioning We learn our fears through Mercury as we interpret and define the responses we receive and give to the environment.
Mercury is the symbol of our mind. Its sign and aspects dictate how we assimilate life conditioning. There are specific types of fear, It is important to human being to be able to identify the cause of it. It is a crucial point !
When the tension structures are focused strongly in water signs we can expect surely generalized anxiety and fear constructs within the sense of being taken advantage of. In fire signs we can anticipate anxiety and generalized fear constructs within the sense of being ignored. In air signs is in the sense of being unappreciated and finally in earth signs the fears are around of not being valuable, not being taken seriously.
