I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

we are alike. we want same things. but then he is a little more emotional (which I'm not) and sensitive (which I'm not). so he sort of is my copy, but just complimenting one! he balances me alot though.

Astrology "states" that things perceived on a dualistic way, are either identified as "Self", or "Other". It also "states" that when those things are being perceived, they can either be perceived "Subjectively" (meaning "as it relates to the perceiving party"), or "Objectively" (meaning "as it relates to forces outside the perceiving party"). This means there are four possible ways to perceive dualistic reality:

1. As it applies to one's self, via internal forces (thoughts, feelings, senses, and actions perceived as internal)
2. As it applies to others, via external forces (thoughts, feelings, senses, and actions perceived as external)
3. As it applies to one's self, via external forces (thoughts, feelings, senses, and actions perceived as external)
4. As it applies to others, via internal forces (thoughts, feelings, senses, and actions perceived as internal)

Signs on the Northern Hemisphere of the wheel (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, & Virgo) view reality subjectively, where Southern Hemisphere signs (Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, & Pisces) view the world objectively. Additionally, the Eastern Hemisphere signs (Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, & Gemini) view experience based on how it involves the self, where Western Hemisphere signs (Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, & Sagittarius) view experience based on how it involves others.

--------

Each quality contains one Northeastern, one Northwestern, one Southwestern and one Southeastern sign.

Cardinal:
Aries (northeastern hemisphere) subjective/self-aware - Sees the world as it relates to the self and judges experiences based on internal forces.
Libra (southwestern hemisphere) objective/other-aware - Sees the world as it relates to others and judges experiences based on external forces.
Cancer (northwestern hemisphere) subjective/other-aware - Sees the world as it relates to the self and judges experiences based on external forces.
Capricorn (southeastern hemisphere) objective/self-aware - Sees the world as it relates to others and judges experiences based on internal forces.

Fixed:
Taurus (northeastern hemisphere) subjective/self-aware - Sees the world as it relates to the self and judges experiences based on internal forces.
Scorpio (southwestern hemisphere) objective/other-aware - Sees the world as it relates to others and judges experiences based on external forces.
Leo (northwestern hemisphere) subjective/other-aware - Sees the world as it relates to the self and judges experiences based on external forces.
Aquarius (southeastern hemisphere) objective/self-aware - Sees the world as it relates to others and judges experiences based on internal forces.

Mutable:
Gemini (northeastern hemisphere) subjective/self-aware - Sees the world as it relates to the self and judges experiences based on internal forces.
Sagittarius (southwestern hemisphere) objective/other-aware - Sees the world as it relates to others and judges experiences based on external forces.
Virgo (northwestern hemisphere) subjective/other-aware - Sees the world as it relates to the self and judges experiences based on external forces.
Pisces (southeastern hemisphere) objective/self-aware - Sees the world as it relates to others and judges experiences based on internal forces.

--------

All three qualities therefor outline three "Taos" (I am punching myself every time I use the word "tao" in this description. What I really mean is "synthesis of a receptive and protective energy").

The Cardinal "Tao" of Actuation:
The Yang of Aries/Libra flows between one's relationship with self and others.
The Yin of Cancer/Capricorn flows between one's personal and public spaces.

The latter is Yin, because our personal/public space is the soil within which our external relationships are planted and abide. The former is Yang, because our relationships with self and others, thrive as direct expressions of our personal and public space's health.

The Fixed "Tao" of Realization:
The Yin of Taurus/Scorpio flows between what is apparent and what is not apparent.
The Yang of Leo/Aquarius flows between what is real and what is imaginary.

The former is Yin, because that which can be quantified and that which can only be experienced are the basic foundation behind what one considers "real" and what one considers "imaginary". The latter is Yang because what we consider "real"/"imaginary" is capable of sculpting one's ability to quantify/experience and is a direct expression of our capacity for experiencing/quantifying.

The Mutable "Tao" of Refinement:
The Yang of Gemini/Sagittarius flows between samsara and dharma.
The Yin of Virgo/Pisces flows between what is constructive and what is destructive

The latter is Yin because construction/destruction are the basic soil out of which samsara (being caught up in one's mind) and dharma (the path to liberation) spring. The former is Yang, because the consequences of our actions (karma) are based on ignorance or awareness of one's constructive/destructive nature.

That's how I have seen it work at least. =)

Astrology can get frustratingly complex if you follow it down the existential rabbit hole. I had to give it a rest for a while because I get stuck for hours pondering things like.

"In the above description, why does -
Fire have no Southeastern sign?
Earth have no Southwestern sign?
Air have no Northwestern sign?
Water have no Northeastern sign?

I wish I were better at math, because mathematical principals always seem to apply to Astrology. I have this feeling that if I were a math genius, it would all kinda just fall into place.

So if i hav emars in pisces...

above - warring with art, battles involving compassion, battling for people compassionately, battling for the wrong groups, or battling for the right groups...

internal - warring with art, battling with different grops within, chsoing the internal criminal over the heroe...invoking the martyr instead of the artist,

so the archtypes are keys for me internally...as i just see the internal a reflection of the external..

it worked for me...i had an internal battle and my outside world changed when my inside one did....but there comes points where you have to bounce between both...or else you stagnate..i'm at the point now where i have to take action..

Linear thinking caught in duality says that points A and B are separated (by distance), therefore they cannot understand each other or be unified. Cosmic energy does not work that way. Quantum physics has shown us things seemingly separated by a great distance can resonate or be identical. Like the yin-yang symbol illustrates, the cycle of energy is singular and expresses itself as its own internal 'opposites', like waves and troughs in the ocean.
