For the most part it is essential that much of this seems true and lines up as the stars align our lives. Sometimes though we over think it or perhaps don't trust it enough. I always go by intuition. It wasn't until this site that I learned my moon effects me in a horrible negative way, but it doesn't take away my intuition. I have a hard time trusting myself or believing any of it is true until it happens. I am in a very negative mood tonight. I have something major happen in my life I cannot fix, and if I attempt it is going to take everything I am to do so. In the meantime everything else that I had been working for has to be tossed out. I don't know the facts in situations unless they are proven face to face, I trust my instincts, yet I also trust my intuition. (no not the same) My intuition is usually guiding me in the truth, and my instincts are based on actual apparent facts that would only be dissuaded if I were apparently wrong. And then there is the obsessions and the delusions as well. Wanting something so bad, yet never doing whatever it takes to get it. Is it wise to look to the stars to tell us how we are to live our lives? Or is it just a guide that only gives us so much? I like most of mine, it is an easy go, but then another part of me says, hold on it ain't that easy. Which is it? Why do I have conflicting thoughts and feelings? I don't understand the complex in this? Still learning here people. I know there is much smarter people in astrology then me. But if you need some psychological advice, I can guide you there.

Sorry I'm rambling tonight but I gotta figure this stuff out and get my life in order. Thank You, anyone who bothers.

Is your moon square or opposite your mercury?

I tried.. I really did but my attention span is only so short; good luck! I think we've all been there... Mind you, i only read the heading and first line.

Astrology can be a tool for guidance but at the end of the day, you still make the decisions.

I don't know where any of it is. How do I figure it out on my chart? Is that a good thing or bad thing?

Well from what I read and understood, you're questioning how deeply we need to use astrology in our lives.

I say, we don't even need astrology to lead a healthy normal life. If you are already reflective, learn from your mistakes and develop optimism, then there is no need at all for astrology.

For example,we try and uncover and learn about how a volcano is formed or how a child is born. If we hadn't known about their origins, would it change the extent of enjoyment they provide? No, it hardly alters our ability to enjoy it.

Astrology is the same thing. We basically have events take place and interestingly enough place them in accordance to certain transits, natal aspects etc etc.

That's the majority of our use. Why is that?

Well we learn from studying the formation of a volcano whether it's active or dormant, and if it's active when next it will explode, and the perimeter it can affect, these are at best close guesstimates. It never explodes when we most expect it. We give a broad range with a large emphasis on the false negative value of it.
We tally up the risks a woman encountered during pregnancy and possibility that it would cause a birth defect. We don't always get all the defects we expect. Fact is it might point to an answer but it might not have a strong effect at all. Now why would we then put so much emphasis on something that 1. Has a high error rate. 2 Is not reliable for one to life by? If astrology were perfect, and we'd done so much extensive research that the gurus of astrology came to an absolute consensus then it would be another story.

But reality is that one astrologer's point of view it quite different from another. As we all have our own experiences to fall back on when interpreting, we can never give a readign without that entering into the discussion.

I think if it's too complicated in your life at the moment. You need to take a step back and look at astrology as a distraction from your being able to cope with life, to be able to fix problems as they arise without being dependent on astrology. I think majority of us however fall into studying astrology because of confusing situations that take place in our lives. We are basically looking for answers and solutions every which way possible. Trust me; I did that. lol

Eventually one develops a healthy attitude with astrology where it becomes a hobby, not a crippling habit. Something that is just fun and light. That's how it ought to be.

Nothing and I mean nothing is set in stone. No aspect will haunt you forever, no aspect will pamper you forever. No astrologer in the world can tell you concretely that your personality is such an such or that your life is, was and has been a certain way. No astrologer is all-seeing all-knowing--though some think they are. lol We are at the end of the day mere mortals. That's it.

Astrology should never burden a person.

Thank you, that is all true. More or less I am asking if is apparent any of it is official. I look at it for fun, never engage in anything as life or death. I have alot more going on right now that is alternating my life tremendously, and all I'm really doing is venting and looking for feedback. There are things that I want done right now in my life but I have to alter them once again for the same ol b.s. that I've been encountering forever and trying to get rid of. How does one take it when you are slandered on the internet for all to see? Not going into specifics but there is a website on the net that is taking peoples personal information along with their photos and posting them on this site, and I think it's illegal but the crap remains. I want it removed and I honestly don't know how to go about doing so. Such a frustrating turmoil I'm in! All I want to do is obsess about my Scorpio. (that is if he is even mine)

If it's myspace, facebook, cheatersville etc then it's difficult to remove unless they are lying. If it happened and they are writing in their personal space then you can't change it.

If you gave them pics in private then they can't use it. You can take legal action for that. If they used public pic of you from facebook or myspace then you I think waived your right over them.

If they are lying I suppose you talk to the owners of the website.

It's a public domain that has taken many peoples information and posted them publicly on google search. It is none of those you listed, so it is not personal, it is world wide. The f***ing site is set up they want you to pay them to remove the **** . It's a crock of **** and if I had money, I'd spend it suing them instead!

Ok how I see it is, whomever is running it has hacked into files of personal information that should be kept within the originations, made it public for anyone in the world to access and view. It is one thing when it is in the database of the actual ordeal, but when someone makes a public website out of it and has your name in the google search to locate it, is f***ed up! It is no one's business of anything on here unless the person distributes it themself! It's been a very tiring angry couple of days for me.

I agree 100%.
You could talk to someone in the computer industry or a lawyer to see if this stuff happens and what to do about it.
I'm sure this happens a lot. I'm so paranoid about the net.

I think astrology is just a tool to use but nothing to totally rely on. You make your own destiny to fill in the middle and path to choose. Try meditating to clear obsessive over-analyzing thoughts

lol thanks I did...I had something else on my mind and I used this subject as a pass over. I clearly admit daily I've been obsessed with a Scorpio but I am trying in all my will power to make him as pathetic as possible to wash that stupid obsession away. I really don't know why I'm obsessed in the first place. He's got just as much gayness as the next Joe Blow.

Astrology is comforting to me. If I'm going through rough stuff in my life, I looke at transits and progressions and think "oh good, this feeling is only temporary."

I also would not bet my life on an astrology reading.
