I don't know alot about OCD so I imagine there is a wide spectrum of how/why it is expressed.
Astrologically, is there a likely influence or combination of ruler/rulers?
Pluto/Scorpio obsession? Mercury/Virgo routine? Cardinal control? Mars/moon is combination with any of these as being emotionally motivated?
Any experience or ideas?
Diagnosed OCD here. Three planet Virgo stellium with a peregrine Mercury. That Mercury is the likely culprit. My mind is like a pinball machine!
I've been on meds for 13 years. I still get spells from time to time, but they're nowhere near as bad as they were (they would come and go, I had years-long lapses) before I was diagnosed.

Thanks LisLioness. Would you be able to describe a little about your OCD? Don't want to be invasive if you'd rather not, your reply was really helpful
I'm interested the different types of compulsive behaviors that exhibit and why.
Kingsley implicated Venus in Virgo which makes sense.

He was very talented even though he nitpicked me to death. He just could not stop psycho-analyzing me... which was his profession. He's not posted anywhere for awhile... years.
We had a mutual friend. I think she went as far as to ask him what his deal was with me - why he couldn't leave me alone.
Whatever conversation they had, when it was done he did leave me alone.
This must be Venus Pluto recollection.
