Hmmmm. I dunno. It was sometime in the summer of 2005. Right around the time Saturn shifted in Leo and I went, "Ah, that feels better. ...Huh."IP: Logged |

When I was given the birth details of a boyfriend many years ago, the chart didn't fit his character. I just plain out asked him if he had given me his true details, and he shamefacedly admitted he had given me the wrong year. Then I did his true chart and it was a perfect fit.IP: Logged |

For me, it was March last year. It was when I read my natal chart for the first time (alabe.com). When I read it I thought my sis in law was playing a practical joke and just wrote the whole thing herself. I just remember my jaw hitting the floor saying, "how is this possible? How do the know?" And for synastry, it was in Early May (but at that time, i only knew about sun sign compatibilty). I didnt find out about whole chart synastry until later that month on cafeastrology. Ever since then it has ringed true for me at least 90% of the time. I'll tell more later, my break is over LOL! ------------------

Every major transit from an outer planet has had a significant impact on my life. Usually pretty dramatically. IP: Logged |

Very interesting question:It was my very first professional consultation. I noticed that the client has an extremely difficult Solar Arc to her Sun/Moon midpoint. I will not divulge what it was, but it occurred when she was 6 months of age. When I mentioned this pattern, she divulged the story of horrific abuse that began for her at that age and continued on until the age of 7. Can you imagine that for your very first professional consultation. I remember saying to my mentor/supervising psychologist, "I knew that this was supposed to be real, but does it have to be really, REALLY REAL??!!!!" The most recent reality moment had to do with my beloved uncle who was more like a big brother to me. He passed away on March 17th, 2006. A little more than twenty four hours before he passed away in hospice, there was an eclipse in the early morning hours of March 16th. That eclipse occurred right at his Mars/Saturn midpoint. Later on that morning I was moving very slowly to travel to see him and I thought, why don't I check his chart to see how he's doing. I looked at the chart, saw where the eclipse hit. I dropped everything I was doing, threw on some dirty clothes, jumped on the train and got to the hospice where they told me that he had a respiratory event very early that morning - the same time as the eclipse - and they had to put him in an induced semi-coma. If I hadn't dropped everything to run and see him, I might have missed having my last day with him, holding his hand talking to him and saying goodbye. So yes, there's no question that it's real when used with "sound judgement and personal maturity." Geocosmic Valentine

ool question...
I owned a copy of Sun Signs and Love signs...i loved both of these books....and although i believed they had some truths i didnt know much more about astrology than that...then i was moving to another state and knew for a little while we would be staying in a caravan until we found a new home and knew i would have to find something to occupy my time there of an evening so i bought myself this pack that was a do-it your-self horoscope chart... well when i did the first chart which was mine...after hours of mistakes etc... i thought this is way to complex for me to understand... so i left it...a few days later i was so bored... so i decided to just draw up my 3 children's charts and my sisters even though i had no idea what these charts meant...etc... then after making the charts and a few more days of boredom i actually really read into the books that came with them to describe what different things meant and was shocked at how acurately these charts described each of the people i had done... thats was like the light bulb moment for me... even though i didnt how a large amount of knowledge and still dont have to the extent i want to... i KNOW astrology is real...and i am never ashamed to tell people that i bellieve in it...even though alot of people think im odd or crazy... you dont have to believe in something for it to be real...
Oh and i think the final thing that sealed my belief was when i found a copy of Star Signs in a library ...i was like wowed!!! It was like i KNEW it!!! So many things fit and made sense!!IP: Logged |

When I first did my chart and discovered my ascendant and that it was so accurate. But the one I remember most is doing the chart of my last relationship and seeing everything that went on in our relationship spelled out in such accurate detail and so explicitly. I wish I had done it two years earlier. It may have made a real difference. IP: Logged |

I think its also things like how we look like our chart placements i can almost always guess what star sign someone is or where their moon and venus might be. The first year i got into astrology i knew my dads mum was going to die this was back in 1998. It was weird and now its changed me alot where i accept everything in life rather than question it. I now believe everything happens for a reason and everything is meant to be and thats why things happen. I was a very clingy cancerian when i was younger and believing in astrology helped me alot it made me accept things. ------------------

I had a friend who was the most brilliant astrologer and I asked her why I couldn't relate at all to this Tuarean woman I was working with.
I mean she was sweet but boy did she grate on me and I felt bad.
And Diana said "You as an Aqua are too cold.
Taureans are tactile and hedonistic. Like to be hugged. If ever they get upset just hug them"
Anyhow weeks later this Taurus had a complete meltdown at work, crying and screaming and no one knew what to do.
So I went up to her and hugged her.
Now as an Aquarian if anyone had touched me when I was "on one" they would have been bouncing off all four walls in the room.
But what do you know?
She collapsed in my arms saying she was sorry and how much she loved me and I remember looking over her shoulder and goingWTF!!! This stuff works! IP: Logged |

I found this amazing book on astrology and I had been reading and learning from it, and about 1 year later, I went on a date with this new guy. He was pretty intense with strong opinions, and in the course of the conversation, he said he was atheist. Fine. So, we're talking, and at one point, the subject came to astrology. He said very strongly, I don't believe in astrology, it's all hogwash!! The way he said it, his eyes, it was like something hit me, I looked at him and said, you're Scorpio, aren't you? Mind you, he had not told me before his birthdate. Well, his jaw literally dropped to his plate of tortellini. He said he was indeed Scorpio. We were very quiet for about 10 minutes after that, as he was trying to reconcile his atheist world view with the fact that I had correctly picked out his astrological sign. LOL!! That's when I knew, astrology is real... IP: Logged |
