I have always been interested in astrology. Someone told me I'm a Capricorn when I was about five, and I never forgot it. Then I read horoscopes when I was little, paid close attention to sun signs...it just snowballed over the years.

Huge thanks to Linda-goodman for being the catalyst in my astrology endeavours

The astrologer predicted I would understand it though. Not that I would be an astrologer but the ability to learn new things.

I got into astrology around April or May 2007. My sister-in-law was telling me about her own natal chart report and how it was accurate and fit her so well. She and I are always mentally on the same wavelength so I respected her thoughts on it. She said why don't I read mine. I said why not.

She did an astrolabe.com report for me and I rememeber reading it in awe at how accurate it was.

Then I went online to read my wife's and thats when I found cafeastrology and their free compatibility reports. So I gave it a shot and put my wife and my birth info in. My goodness! The cafeastrology was incredibly spot on! Almost everything in the depot has happened in our marriage!

From that point, I already knew there was a forum for everything under the sun so I searched astrology forums and found this place. I lurked for months before joining and posting.

Though I'm still very much a novice at this, I learned most all I know about astrology by looking at synastries with people I know. Most interpretations I learned were here and cafeastrology.

For me, I was, years ago, going to nursing school and doing home daycare and got real bored. Needed to stimulate the brain. I was in the midst of my continuing spiritual quest and one day I figured I could do my own chart.

Which I did. I used to cast them by hand, a forgotten art.

My eldest suggested that I do that again, with an awesome calligraphy pen and gift them.

This was before the net, so I bought books and read and learned...

Was also pretty lost at that time around 4 years ago I suppose. I forgot the transit he mentioned y I was in a pickle.. Of course he would never be able to explain what a transit is that well to a noob.

Oh, that's interesting!

Yeah, even though I have always believed in sun signs (practically all my life), I was skeptical when I first learned that I have a Pisces moon, Sag planets, Gemini Mars...

Like, I just wanted to savor being a Capricorn and dismiss everything else.

Transits, at first, seemed like a joke to me.

Asteroids, too.

But as you know, after you start paying attention, and reading your life story in terms of transits, asteroids, all of it ~ there's no going back.

Suffice to say I started doing an overhaul of research on all things astrological and occult after that. Many years later, I've gained a lot from my research and learned a great deal about myself. Now, I'M the one knocking people's socks off by guessing their astrological placements.
