T O P I C R E V I E WteaologistLooked through old threads, found some nice info, and wanted to take a survey...If you have poor vision, please answer:1) How old are you? At what age did your vision begin to impair?2) What are your aspects to Mars and ASC?3) Any outstanding birth issues? (i.e. preemie?)4) Random question for anyone interested... do you think there any past life karma indications for vision impairment? I’ve read one theory that a hard Merc-Saturn aspect could indicate having had your tongue cut out in a past life for speaking out. The symbolism behind that sounds appropriate... any thoughts?blue moon1> Of full age. Around the age of 10 my poor eyesight was evident. Problems reading music was the giveaway. 2> Mars Square Asc within 1 degree. 3> DNA normal, born through natural childbirth 2 days before due date. 4> I must have looked at something that wasn't my business in a past life, so in this one I can't see my own feet without artifical aid.Poor eyesighted people are still in the gene pool as we are good breeders, this is because we are less fussy about what is headed at us - and we don't see before it before it is too late to run off. Or an alternate theory from my optician - in the modern world we have more cause to notice poor eyesight because of the high literacy rates - if we didn't read or use computers would we notice milder eyesight problems as much?

LOL!!! Why not hands being cut off, or movement being blocked somehow. Look at Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Solar Arcs that occurred when he became debilitated and couldn't walk anymore. He has Mercury-Saturn conjunction, Einstein has Mercury-Saturn conjunction, Mark Twain has Mercury-Saturn conjunction, I have Mercury-Saturn conjunction. How am I suppose to find out if my tongue was cut out in a previous life for speaking out.I hope I don't sound harsh, but without some very reliable Past Life Regression by someone you trust, there's no way to prove any of those karmic possibilities. My Mercury-Saturn conjunction is expressed through my extremely precise speech and trying to adhere to grammatical rules in writing (it doesn't always work, but I strive for it), I also have incredibly neat handwriting to the point where I can brag about it, and my memory is clear and strong back to when I was 1 and 1/2 years old.I'm neurotic about traffic rules even though I don't drive, but walking with me can be nerve wracking for the other people with me because I insist that people walk on the right side of the sidewalk in New York and if people don't even try to use their periferral vision in a crowd of people walking, I get really ****** off because I feel they are disrespecting me and the crowd of people they are walking with. Yes, I get neurotic about respecting me while I'm walking.Oh lord, help me, I'm writing a book about walking in a discussion thread, AAAaaarrrgg!!Sorry about that.
