That was an attempt to post my chart. If I didn't get it right, sorry, and I'll try later.

I just thought there were people on this forum who do this for purposes of "practice" or "enjoyment" or group discussion or whatever, and since I've seen it done here for others, figured I'd try, too. Why do I get reamed when nobody else does? Just because I mentioned a psychic?

I'm actually surprised you took offense.

Scorpio being Aries's 8th house almost kills the approach or Open Book Aries questions Geo has.

Astrologers who post here on this forum tend to be very generous with their advice and their time. And it's not always appreciated.

We get many newbies that do the hit-and-run things: They make a few posts, then ask for advice, get it, and oftentimes don't even bother to thank people.

I think Jugular handled the stated concern very well.

True, but no professional astrologer nor the hobby experts on here are forced to share any advice for free unless they choose to do so.

If a person very urgently is in need of advice from an astrologer I think they would be prepared to pay for it – at least I would be, considering that I know that astrologer put a lot of time into the studies to become good astrologers – they are worth it! (I´m gonna charge sooo much when I get good at this... in the old-people´s home ... he, he he...)

I must add though; I think there is a huge difference in what you are in need of when you ask for advice from an astrologer or if you ask advice from a psychic/medium. If you are ready to pay for a psychic reading it´s because you want psychic advice and if you need an astrologer to have a look at your chart I would say it´s a different type of help you are expecting. So I don´t really see where the competition is.

I wouldn´t say people don´t chose the astrologer because they think the psychic is better – it´s just a question of what way you would like to find out about whatever it is you need to know at that moment. That is my approach anyway – if I need an astrologer I would not go to a psychic and vice versa.

Finally; I think both Jugular and Geocosmic Val handled this really well! And having read Geocosmic Val´s posts on this forum, I might have a reading one day soon myself .

By the way; I take the opportunity to thank everybody on here who have helped me … in case I ever forgot to say Thank you! (I got a bit worried there… did I ever forget to thank anyone?...;-)

I love this forum and especially the freedom of speech aspect to it. Everyone has valid points and is able to converse adultly with little or no judgement.

Thank you for making this such a wonderful forum where astrologers like Geo are kind enough to help us fall in love with astrology.

I'm wondering about the communication thing involving a new career, but I could see it being applicable.

Who has the roving eye, me or my partner? I think you meant me, but not sure. Because my husband is always pointing out beautiful women, but I think he does it to emphasize that I "used to be" and am now 30 lbs heavier, so he's reminding me about my weight.

I am not cheap with money at all, in a relationship or out. I'm actually quite the opposite. So I don't know about that part...

You are dead accurate with the mother situation.

These issues tend to dominate your life. You have Jupiter conjunct Venus there, so you have a natural propensity to acquire money and to enjoy sex. Good for you.

I noticed a square of your mercury to your mars, and it's interesting that your screen name is Jugular, as it is quite fitting. The jugular vein is in the throat where speech arises (mercury). Sometimes, you experience opposition to your way of speaking, and though it seems to come from the outside, pay attention to what you do to contribute to it.

You have pluto in your 7th house, so marriage is a very intense issue for you. Lots of power struggles over it. Your saturn and Uranus squaring your Chiron makes it difficult for you to settle with who you would consider your soulmate.

There is more to say, but I'll come back later.

ETA: I noticed that your natal location was Tel Aviv. Since you relocated, your planets must have shifted into different houses, so the focus might be different.

Jugular, it's not necessary for you to pay me or anyone here. You should be able to participate in the learning process on this forum just like everyone else by volunteering your chart. I now regret some of my statements that painted you or anyone else here as "cheapskates" for asking for free readings. And I also have to say that when I have given readings here in the past, each person has thanked me, each person has been grateful so I've never had an experience with someone being ungrateful here.

I think that you would be passing up a wonderful opportunity to have a reading with Belage here, she's a great astrologer. I know of her from a different astrological forum, I believe we have studied with the same person which means that she is a power house of an astrologer, so feel free to respond to her and allow her to continue with you, her responses to you will add much to the learning here.

I am now going to delete all of my other posts on this thread because it seems people have unfortunately started doing very unnecessary target practice and that most certainly wasn't my intention either.

One last bit of learning from me about the anger. The day I got angry (of my own free will), transiting Mars first squared my Mercury-Saturn conjunction (that can suggest huge arguments in terms of details) and then Mars conjuncted my Moon (that's big time anger.) My Moon rules my 2nd house of finances and self-worth and it also rules my 3rd house of communication.

How's that for a doozy?!

Our friend Jugular truly got caught in my crossfire about finances and my self-worth as an astrologer what we are worth compared to other services.

I'll end by saying that you did a great thing by trying to offer our friend Artemisss, who was in terrible pain at the time she posted her request and your offering of pain relief and comfort, no matter what form it comes in, should be commended and no one should be put down for offering someone healing and compassion. So I hope you accept this different apology from me. And don't pass up Belage's reading, without giving away too much information about her, I just want you to know you're getting valuable stellar information from her.
