I am kinda offended by that. I hate gender stereotypes any way. Because I don't fit male stereotypes, some people think that I am gay..especially because I have a high pitched voice as well as highly sensitive,emotional (my Sun,Mercury,and Venus in Scorpio with Moon in Pisces square Neptune), and that's bullcrap. I have Sun trine Moon,and that indicates that I am easily in touch with my feminine nature...especially when it's a watersign trait. Watersigns are feminine signs.

I actually hate stereotypes of all kinds..especially gender and racial ones.

another thing...there are many men that are into Astrology, and as you see there are a lot of males in this forum. Also..many famous astrologers are men like Noel Tyl,Steven Forrest,Robert Hand,Jeffrey Wolf Green...not just women.

I got into Astrology because my maternal grandfather committed suicide, and so I went on a soul search, looking for the meaning of life,and so I got into believing in God again after 2 years of atheism. I got interested in metaphysical things,and that eventually got me into Astrology. I was a skeptic of Astrology,and I thought it was bullcrap. My skepticism eroded after I found out that my moonsign was Pisces,and I could relate to the Pisces traits....even more Pisces like with my having Moon square Neptune too! I checked to see if my mom's sign was Scorpio because as a Gemini,she's more Scorpio-like than I am. Sure enough...she has Moon in Scorpio,and it happens to be square Pluto too! I realized that it was a cosmic form of psychology after reading my natal reports,and my mom agreed with me. It was after reading about the Swiss psychoanalyst,Carl Jung using Astrology for psychological insights, that I started studying Astrology really in depth. I was mainly into psychological astrology, reading Dr. Glenn Perry's psychological astrology books. I am very interested in evolutionary astrology because I am interested in seeing astrological insights from a karmic perspective...that's why even check out planetary nodes...even asteroid nodes for karmic lessons/indicators.

I don't believe that Astrology is feminine at all. Astrology is spiritual. Spiritual is not something feminine. I believe Astrology is like science of the soul which I believe has no gender. I believe that I and many had pastlives as other genders as well as other races,ethnic groups. Of course,I believe the soul has no gender.
When you look at astrological charts, males and females can share similar placements. Males can be emotional as woman with strong water placements,and that doesn't mean that they are gay. Females can be aggressive as males with strong fire placements,and that doesn't mean that they are gay. Being emotional is not something that's just for females. Being aggressive is not something just for males.
I believe that belief in stereotypes is what leads to sexism(whether it's male or female). That's one of the reasons why I like Astrology because it points to me that males and females have similarities and not just differences. Maybe this is easier for me to me with my Sun trine Moon which is masculine and feminine being in harmony.

As you see, I believe in equality of the sexes,and I respect their strength and power. I have Sun conjunct retrograde true Black Moon Lilith(osculating lunar apogee) with 21 minutes of arc, and that could emphasizes more of my strong lunar nature of my Sun trine Moon, my feminist nature and belief in women's rights....maybe I had strong karma involving feminism and women's rights...maybe I had pastlives as a woman who struggled to be equal to men as well as a sexist man who treated women like crap. I became a member of NOW(National Organization for Women). The woman that I love is a feminist.

the date I got into Astrology....June 29,1998 at the age of almost 28 years old

i think you may have taken my statement the wrong way..

i didn't say it was a girls thing, and i didn't say i stereotype it to be. i said it is stereotyped.

i don't know if it is in the country your in, but in my country, astrology and signs are stereotyped as ' a girls thing '. thats just a fact, you can't refute facts, its just the way it is (at least for where i am). its the same reason why this forum is coloured pink, which is again, stereotyped as ' a girls colour '.

im sorry its that way.. and im sorry it offends you.

I can verily place Astrology in the social science category (apart from its Astronomical links) since its deals primarily with the interaction of the individual with the environment he/she lives in. Hence through association of abstract thinking and placing emphisis on the Psyche, the concept of Astrology has been regarded as something that females would be interested in.

I don't like it when people can't be passionate in communications without being accused of ranting.

My Sun is in Scorpio after all....it's about intense,passionate self expression

My Mercury conjunct Venus in Scorpio in 3rd house....that's intense communications

disposited by Pluto in Libra in 1st,and that strongly emphasizes equality

also disposited in old rulership, Mars in Aquarius in 6th....that's a universal brotherhood,humanitarian placement...and can be an activist.

any ways....I am in USA.....I think all stereotypes are B.S. and it leads to a lot of people being misunderstood and mistreated whether it's racism,sexism,homophobia,xenophobia,etc.

btw..Roy MacKinnon is a really cool British astrologer. Chris Mitchell too.
