Do certain methods,techniques,systems give insights?

that is something that is relative

Honestly, I am losing my belief in the validity of zodiac signs and houses in Astrology. However,I will not say that they don't work.

Astrology is a controversial subject any way and perceived as B.S. and pseudoscience by many....especially by majority of scientific,academic community,mental health community

I don't even tell mental health professionals that I do Astrology. I am far more open to tell people that I am Dyslexic,Dyspraxic,ADHD(especially as an advocate) than tell people that I am a Scorpio Sun,Pisces Moon,Virgo Ascendant or any other astrology stuff in my chart which I don't tell people who don't believe in Astrology. I don't even charge as an Astrologer because I don't want to be seen as fraud for making money from "pseudoscience" I care how people think and feel about me. I believe some things are meant to be kept secret like metaphysical subjects.

do you mean, then, that you only believe in aspects? i'm curious about this, if you care to elaborate!

also golden section aspects that Theodor
Landscheidt came up with

I am thinking of becoming a cosmobiologist......I really like Reinhold Ebertin's concepts

Fascinating. I am absolutely the opposite in this regard. I tell strangers about my love of astrology. I know that I am being judged for it in many cases and occasionally it bothers me, but mostly I can't be bothered to care.

I grew up in a family full of secrets and ever since then, I've felt the weight of keeping things to myself as being oppressive and deeply uncomfortable. I'd rather know that someone judges me for something and then move on knowing what to expect from that person.

In fact, one of the reasons my ex broke up with me was in part because of my belief in astrology. Silly rabbit.

Anyhow, I do understand the reason that many people keep their study of astrology under wraps, but I have such a love and passion for it that I couldn't if I tried (and I have ). It just bubbles up to the surface and ultimately helps me to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I see no problem with my being reserved,cautious. I feel that discipline,structure,security are important. Those things were really stressed by my parents. I had a lot of that when I was in US Navy too. I try to be practical too.

I think of astrology as being an indicator of who we are and what we're about - our strengths, weaknesses, traits, etc. Planets, of course, do not make us do things but an aspect in one's chart indicates the liklihood of certain traits being expressed. Our own free will, however, takes precedence over an aspect in our chart.

"I've dealt with this so I'm curious..."

Well....she was cautious,reserved when we first met with trust issues. She has strong obligations to her mother.
Serious,reserved,disciplined,realistic,practical,responsible had a hard time growing up.
the conjunction being in Scorpio - sexually reserved(she didn't have sex until she was 20 years old and her exbf was the only guy she was sexually with.....that really attracted me)

Moon conjunct Saturn - 1'20
(yeah....I say that's a tight conjunction

She has Moon conjunct Saturn/Pluto midpoint ' 41
(she has Moon-Saturn-Pluto conjunction)

Her Moon is conjunct North Chiron Node with 21 minutes of arc,and I feel that when there is a close aspect to a node of an object its very significant....nodes of Jupiter and beyond relate to the collective. I say that node aspect strongly modifies her Moon conjunct Saturn.

I think any aspect has its good and bad too....really depends on the person

She's emotionally responsive too and she can keep her emotions in check

She has Moon sextile Neptune 2'10
She has Pisces Ascendant

She has Moon oppose Mars(in Aries)- 5'55

She has very intense emotional nature with Moon conjunct Pluto - 2'43

I have Moon square Saturn - 1'58, and so I have affinity with her her Moon conjunct Saturn.

I have Moon quincunx Pluto - 2'19,and so I have affinity with her Moon conjunct Pluto

I have Moon in Pisces square Neptune - 1'23,and so I have affinity with her Moon sextile Neptune

I have Moon conjunct Mars(in Aquarius) - 7'17,and so I have affinity with her Moon oppose Mars.

strong lunar affinity help with emotional compability

Our Moons trine with 1'47 orb and parallel with 31 minutes of arc, and so she and I are very emotionally responsive,sensitive to each other. She and I feel very comfortable with each other.

another thing too...there is an almost 12 year age difference(our Jupiters conjunct in Sagittarius with 2'37 orb and parallel with 1 minute of arc) with me being older. I feel that her Moon-Saturn conjuncting my Sun and trine my Moon helps me feel like we are on the same level. She and I don't feel an age difference.
