I first got interest in Astrology about over a year ago when I watched an classic anime called Saint Seiya. Its near the end of that series first arc I was introduced to the Zodiac via the "Gold Saints" (which in the SS universe are the elites of the Athena's Warriors) and watched the protagonist fight them sequentially from Aries all the way to Pisces.Of course I didn't really get interested into Astrology until my 2nd Rewatch which was back last December. After re-watching the series I started dabbling in Astrology, even buying an Astrology Book for Pisces 2011 and creating an account for Tarot.com (the book came with free tokens to purchase things in that site). I read the book but that was it. It was after I decided to research the "Moon" and "Rising" Signs that a genuine interest began. I thought Astrology was all fun-and-games esp. since Pisces are described as "Beautiful", "Kind", and "Forgiving" which was the opposite of me. However gradually once I learned of an approximate birth time from my mom, oh the descriptions of those two aspects FIT ME PERFECTLY (well at first I didn't think Leo Moon suit me but after reading Scorpio Rising it began to all make sense).!!!!!!!!
Then I went on to the planets and learned stuff about me I never realized. The final blow came when I burrowed Astrology For Dummies via Interstate Library Loan by I was absolutely Awed and Shocked how much the stuff in the book of my placements ABSOLUTELY DESCRIBED ME PERFECTLY esp. when combined all into one.
While Saint Seiya was my obsession for 1 whole year (I even tried to go on a Rewatch last summer but quit as other series got my attention more), after learning of new series, getting deeper into Astrology,and putting more important priority such as my health, my love for this series all but faded. I might rewatch it this December out of Nostalgia (and who knows I might fall-in-love with it for its lore which is rich despite its stereotypical portrayal of Astrology).
Right now Yu Yu Hakusho is my obsession with Rose of Versailles and Ashita no Joe coming in next.Also Scott Pilgrim, which is an American comic book, is easily in this top 5 list.
I've started getting into Romance and Erotica novels as well love movies.Oh my Pisces in Venus is slowly making me obsessed with Romance !!!
Now I'm not an Otaku (I'm mostly just interested in a very few series). As mentioned earlier, my current obsession (and with my Leo Moon 25° and how much it helped me, I think it will remain my obsession for years to come) is Astrology. Boxing is quickly becoming a 2nd Place as I learn it (though I did follow up on it as a spectator sport;now I'm actually doing it and it will help me along with Astrology and Religion achieve my Scorpio Rising Transformation).
Third current interest is religion. Not really gonna remain a long term Hobby, I'm using it to transform myself (though the 7 Deadly Sins will most certainly remain a strong interests for years to come).
Cleaning will be my fourth Activity (not hobby lol) as I transform myself.
Hmmmm. there's other stuff I'm interested in but right now they're just interests not hobbies or activities I actually do.
Diablo is my favorite game and while I've neglected gaming for a while, I might get back to play again (not to the extent I did for years).
Lots of other stuff but I'm bit of in an unstable internal state of mind right now XD so I'll just end it here.
