    pretty easy - in SPITE of having four planets in Virgo; I've had a lot of that once I reached adulthood (whatever the hell that is) and most of it wasn't by choice with the exception of ditching the profession I landed in after a lot of college and aspiring to (and obviously, I didn't major in English). That change-by-choice came after a lot of soul-searching, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

    I adjust to a lot well.

    Wher eI go kickign and screaming is in a place where I have doen well and then new bureaucracy or change coems in and my voice isnot counted or the new procedures are detrimental to me. Then I protest. I have left 2 organizations where I used to volunteer for years due to new volunteer coordinators who felt that they were gods, not people persons, bu trather task assigners. I have plenty of tasks to do always.
    I volunteer to contribute and generally expect or hope for gratitude and furthering of the mission.

    If it's a change I choose or really like, I'm all over it but unexpected or undesired changes can throw me down.

    I learned something about change this week, here it is

    We only experience real significant change under 2 conditions;
    traumatic events that force us to change, or
    suffering beyond our abiliy to tollerate the suffering.

    The little stuff that's romantic or indulgent like careers, partners, homes don't really count to me. I think of that type of change like redecorating but afterward we're still the same person we were with the old career, partner, or home.

    Real change is hard for me, and all of us if we can be straight about it. And hard to adjust to the change post trauma, but it seems that the real changes that forced me to change have molded me into a healthier version of myself than I was pre-change.

      "The little stuff that's romantic or indulgent like careers, partners, homes don't really count to me. I think of that type of change like redecorating but afterward we're still the same person we were with the old career, partner, or home."

      What does really count to you?

      I think I understand what you mean by the deeper changes but I don't know that they only come through trauma, but I do think it's harder to kid ourselves about who we are when things are really tough, it can be a really truth telling time.

    Change is inevitable. The seasons change.
    The oceans change. The weather changes.
    So must we. Because if we do not change
    then we are not moving. And if we don’t
    move, then we are dead. Yes it’s true that
    change isn’t easy and some may resist it.
    But since it’s inevitable, perhaps the best
    way to cope is to get over it...and change.

    I'm making a lot of changes, and making them has been easy.

    Adjusting to them, on the other hand...well...let's just say that the transition to permanently living in the new state is not without its pain and anguish.

        I definitely opt for change, and like Ro, have a tough time sticking to things. (I'm getting better as I age, interestingly enough.) But I think the life I lead seems to dictate that I always be positioned to adapt to change, and quickly. I've always worked jobs where I've been asked to make changes for the betterment of the group...among other things. In my last job at the college, I was transferred to various departments per the direction of the big bosses three times in six years.

    I've been told I have a "high emotional capacity".

    I adapt to change *very easily* and *very well* when it happens *to* me, or when circumstances around me require me to personally change. I've done this throughout my careers, and my life is one big flexipop... I go with the flow. And once the wheels of change are in motion, I not only ride, but I steer and form new tracks as I go.

    In contrast, I am not good, at all, at initiating change. My tendancy is to "stay the course" and believe the best outcomes will happen, even if I don't understand it all. Sometimes this is good.... often I wonder.

    change cannot happen quickly enough for me. I am highly Uranian. ; )

    I really need to slow down and enjoy the moments, not be living in the future. I am mindful of this and have been relatively successful with it....
