Other times I feel that it bogs me down. I check transits, compatibility. I sit and wonder how things will pan out, what holes to watch for, what I should do to make some relationship work better. It then becomes unnatural and I feel burdened by that knowledge.

Some times also the different interpretations gets confusing. What someone might dislike might be to another's liking. And so it's difficult to know if the interpretations have a singular spin to them or they are abstract. It's harder then to make a decision. Also as you keep going there is EVEN more that you realize you don't know about the subject....sigh...lol

I've had issues with people that I couldn't resolve without some astrological input. In those cases, it was a relief to have an explanation.

The guy I was in love with forever? His sun was conjunct my Juno, and all our planets had positive aspects.

Why didn't it work? Well...the composite was pretty clear that it wouldn't.

Lately, I feel good about astrology, except when I pick up too many bad vibes from the ongoing criticism and negativity involved with it. Some astrology books are pretty dark. Not saying they are inaccurate....but it's exhausting for me to dwell on vices, shortcomings, failures, etc.

The only thing that bothers me now is NOT knowing someones birthday lol .

I do obsess too much about planetary aspects in my day to day life. Knowing astrology has not made me any richer or more financially stable, nor has it provided me with better relationships.

Sometimes, it seems that not knowing is better. Maybe one day I will just give it all up.

I chose to look deeper into astrology so it's the price you pay for the insight

i dont think about people's birthday all that much.

Mostly, astrology has helped me to trust my gut when i feel an attraction to someone. it always means good synastry & composite, so i trust that, and its true bc they like me back.

It has also helped me see that sexual attraction and love are heavily linked, that love at first sight exists (love at first sight crushes with the heavy pluto and the love stellium, or sun conjunct venus? yes please), that if u dont feel a connection with someone right away it isnt going to develop later. It helps me appreciate all the love around me. I know if people's marriages are working out or not, i know if people are really in love or really best/close friends or just faking. It helps me ignore all those people who say love DOESN'T exist (yeah right, you just cant see whats in front of your own face). It helps me know that im not crazy when im obsessed about someone...

I dont look at my future. I dont feel that astrology can accurately predict that so why waste my time. Tarot and horary are a blessing. I dont waste my time with complex vertex and asteroid connections bc the general pattern is so much more important. You already know this person connected with you, so why look so into the vertex connection etc.

Most of all, astrology shows me what the pepple around me have to teach me...and warns me to follow my heart when i feel that someone who seems to be really fond of me is only using me or is not good for me (its all in the charts).

It made me believe in god. Astrology has done more for me than any religion or philosophy ever could. It has shown me how the world works more than any science. Thank you, astrology. It is not a nuiscance at all. It has helped me to trust rather than distrust. Therefore, not a nuiscance.

It showed me what my purpose is as a cancer and it helped me see how my personality was formed by my childhood. it made me a better psychologist and made me believe so much in the importance of birth order...etc etc the list goes on

What do you think? How do you struggle with astrology? What are the benefits in your life and what are the chains it brings?

You can accept your weaknesses and embrace and build up your strengths. It is all good

I wasn't actually.
I meant that astrology is so vast; it's never-ending. Get it?

lol...go away...

But on a serious note, it does astonish me when things have like sense of structure in astrology. I mean the reason we don't have a more concrete idea about it is because it's so disorganized with so much left to interpretation. I wish they would have a mother of all, astrology, go-to book or course.

You always have a nice way of putting things. I don't think I've ever seen you speak harshly to anyone on here.

I would have trouble understanding my ex's explosive temper if I did not that he has Mars in the 1st house, Saturn sq. Mars, and Mars sq. Pluto. It helped me to not blame myself for his erratic and unpredictable rage.

It also helped me to not blame myself for his feeling so confined by commitment. His Sagittarius moon was just not compatible with my Piscean one.
