Whenever I read an old post, it usually doesn’t feel like me. lol no I’m not crazy, it’s just in real life…when I talk, I’m very expressive.
Like the way I use my voice…or change my accent, and from that you can usually tell what I mean.

For example, I tell my friends to shut up all the time - and although it may sound harsh, I don’t mean it in a malicious or negative way. I kinda mean it in a jokey way…like if someone is acting crazy or something…but I mean it in a loving way - it‘s my way of saying “oh stop saying that“. But don’t worry, they get it
*put your hand up if you’re confused* lol
I’m the kind of person that can say these thing ( if I know you enough ) and not offend you.

This is how I communicate - harsh words filled with love…it does sometimes cause confusion ( with those I don‘t know ). Which kinda makes me wonder how you guys may perceive me

I also use my face a lot. Like I’ll smile a lot if I’m teasing, or use my eyes when being sarcastic. Grin from ear to ear if I’m lying ( like I’ll say I hate it…when I really love it ) - but I don‘t actually lie…it‘s me messing around. But on the internet, all that is removed ( including body language ). I try to use loads of smilies - but that’s not enough…and I bet I still confuse everyone.

So I realised, all the good stuff about me is removed. Like how I maintain eye contact, or if you‘re speaking to me, I‘ll concentrate on only you. Or smile a lot, so the person feels comfortable…even nudge them if necessary - or touch them, in an appropriate way , if they‘ll let me. I try really really hard to make others feel happy when around me…and it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t show.

And it make me wonder - if all that’s gone, what’s left? ( ie your posts don't include body language, smiles, physical contact etc. etc. )

And from what’s left - which part of the chart do you see?
Is it just Mercury that comes across? Aspects with Mercury?

Where's your Mercury?

I, too, feel like a lot of my meaning gets lost in translation. I've experienced the same thing when going back and reading old posts, thinking that I sounded really witchy when I was only teasing.

I've got Mercury in Capricorn in the first house.

Moon square Mercury
Mercury sexile Uranus
Mercury square Pluto

lol f_u,
I don’t actually have any Mercury aspects - except with Chiron.
Smilies are my…umm, body language

Lauren, yep you’re right - I’ve got Aqua Mercury.
“It can make things come out oddly” ahhh so true

Thanks for the complements, but you guys don’t have to I’d like to read about you and how you feel about this…umm disability.

I think you’re the only one ( excluding maybe pidaua ) that can be honest without being offensive. Not many can do that…including me.

Lauren is also v. similar.

Ooooo let me go through all of you

MNF
You’re a lot more positive than you may think…I thought you were from the other side of the pond for a looooooong time. That Aries moon def. shows in your posts you’re one of those members that, I don’t think, LL would be the same without

Future
Used to think you were a Virgo for some reason. You’re a Sag right - I like Sagittarians…perhaps due to my Jupiter. You know from all your posts, I don’t think I’ve seen you say anything blunt v. sweet and considerate. Not saying I don't like honesty.

Hot ice - you’re a Gemini? - tho I see you as more of a Cancer. I’m assuming you’ve got quite a bit of Taurus and Cancer in your chart - bet that’s confusing the hell outta you this guy I know is like you. He’s a Gem Sun & Moon - with *I think* Cancer Venus and Mars. He’s a crab around me…and a Gem around everyone else. Tho you don’t have many posts, if I had to mention all the knowflakes I know - you’d be somewhere on top.

White rabbit - I love your screen name btw - my guess was, you’re either an Aqua or Pisces. Tho when I read you’re posts you seem more Aries - the good kind I don’t think I’ve ever read any of your posts without learning something - you usually give me something to think about.

I am sure my 10th house comes through in my posting, as my Sun and Mercury are there conjunct my MC. My 10th house Mercury is also trined Aqua mars - I think that Uranian-Saturnine authoritarian, overly opinionated, know-it-all, let's-me-tell-ya-how-it-is vibe does come across a lot in what I post. I'm not that much different in person, except I can be a little softer in person (my Pisces moon doesn't really come through much in my writing - I think you have to see my smile and my blue eyes to believe I have an ounce of Pisces in me at times....or hear my music). I'm not nearly as verbose in person, either, and in fact, I'm rather quiet, observant and detached (Virgo rising inclines me to be more of a writer than a talker).
