Hey, Uranus is/was conjunct the Moon today! Uranus = sudden, unexpected Moon = mother This took place 10-11 degrees of Aries. Any aspects to your chart, Charlie? IP: Logged |

Hmmm. I was wondering about a transit to your chart from that position in Aries. Perhaps it squares your Cappy Moon or your Mom's Cappy Venus or is conjunct her Aries ASC? Or perhaps the transit creates a trine to a Leo or Saggy placement in one of your charts? Just curious. IP: Logged |

Honestly? Your reaction is weird to me, yeah. I don't understand why people get so worked up over whether or not someone [i}says[/i] they love them. Especially their family members. I'm like, "You shouldn't have to be told that this person loves you when they wiped your poop off your butt before you could even do it yourself, kept you fed, and protected you. They shouldn't have to state the obvious." I grew up in an emotionally undemonstrative family; my mother never told me she loved me until I was 19 and had gone away to college, and hugs were a rare phenomenon in my household. Did I care? No, because I already knew it. When she did actually say it I didn't feel anything because it was like saying "The sky is blue", to me. Then for a few seconds after that we kinda talked on awkwardly because we weren't used to talking about stuff like that. In general I think people don't focus on the right things. They get way too hung up on words and should focus more on actions. So yeah it's weird to me that you didn't think your mom loved you and that your mind is blown because she said it, when all the years she took care of you should've answered the question for you right then and there. Then again my feelings/reaction to this might be colored a bit by my own chart, where I have Venus in Virgo so to me love is shown through service to/taking care of others anyway. Someone with Venus in a sign like Gemini probably needs to actually hear the words; someone with Venus in Cancer probably needs to actually be hugged, and all that... IP: Logged |

Wow that was kind of harsh but i would expect that from someone with a cold venus sign. A mother should tell a child she loves them. I told my 4 year old daughter i loved her today twice today. She said i love you too mama. I dont give a crap what anyone says. Thats why kids nowadays grow up unemotional and eventually serial killers. Because of crappy mothers. I hope you dont have children or if u dont please dont plan any.
You sound like my mom. ------------------ Gemini sun 12th Cancer asc 1st Taurus moon 11th Taurus venus 11th Libra mars 3rd Gemini mercury 11th IP: Logged |

Venus and Cat- Charlie..I have to wonder whats going on in your mother's natal chart. Im guessing some sort of Uranian/Aquarius/Cap energy. They tend to think if they've said it once, that's enough. They show their love thru actions, not words. IP: Logged |

Well I do think saying kids these days are growing up unemotional and becoming serial killers IS overstating it a bit. (Though I do hope the one who said s/he had a crappy mom and that having a crappy mom turns kids into adult serial killer ISN'T a serial killer... )In any case I bet a mom who said she loved someone while abusing and/or allowing others to abuse her charge would do more damage than a mother who acts loving and protective yet never says it. Granted, it's best to say AND show it, but actions still count more than words. Meanwhile, my mom never said she loved me, and never really showed it in her actions either (and my first 4 years were with Granny, and Mom only took me to hurt Granny, her mom, rather than because she or Dad wanted me) and I'm 30. Maybe 7 more years. Oh, yeah, she blamed me for ending her modeling career because she got pregnant with me at a crucial time or some such, and when I spent months on the streets as a runaway--and that was just the first time--she didn't report me missing for fear she'd lose her child support (which she used to fund her addictions even when I was home). Now if you excuse me I have to go sharpen my knives. IP: Logged |

You sound like my mom.
No offense but that's the stupidest thing I've ever read. Words are just that - words, and frankly it's easy for someone to open their mouths and claim to love you but not mean it - but to actually put in the work day in day out of being there for someone and looking after them, that is not easy, and a lot of times, it's not fun or particularly pleasant either - and people only do that if they truly love someone. My mother was always there and she literally devoted her entire life to her kids, at the expense of her own dreams and personal happiness.
So yeah, I know my mother loved me. She didn't have to take me aside and go into waterworks and clutch me dramatically. For me love is in the practical and the real, whether you're there for someone and put in the work on a daily basis. Now, if that's not sentimental and touchy-feely enough for you, that's your issue not mine. None of us had a problem with our mom and we're all grateful she belonged to us and every last one of us speaks highly of her. Will you be able to say for sure that your kids will do the same? Don't worry about my mother, she did her job and did it well. She may not have given us love in a way you like but really it's not about you. If you think love is Hallmark cards and Theo-moments, go for it. But to say that because someone else expresses their love differently, means they were a crappy parent, is inherently offensive and says a load about your character as a human being...which does make me wonder how good of a mother you can even be to your own children. Worry about that instead of slamming my dead mom, eh? Say what you want about her, but she was never online attacking strangers - she was too busy actually being a parent. And I think all kids would prefer to have a parent that was actually present with them in a real way instead of telling them they love them a couple times, planting a kiss on their cheek, then hopping on the internet. And to even associate not being outwardly emotionally demonstrative, with serial killing would get you laughed out of any intelligent discussion of the subject with any criminal psychologist worth their weight in poo. There's a difference between playing it close to the chest and outright sociopathy, where you don't have a conscience whatsoever and are completely incapable of feeling any real love or empathy for another person. I don't know where you got your education from but five bucks says the address is on a matchbook in some stripper joint. quote: Ok, I'll focus on the actions!!

I've gotta agree with you on the abuse thing, but the last thing sounds more like she was trying to be protective of you and went overboard with it - which, is an act of love. The first thing I'm not going to hold against her because everybody has issues. Having an addiction doesn't mean she didn't love you, it means she was sick, and frankly most people that are heavily addicted to something aren't really in their right mind so they can't really be there for the people that are around them, as much as they should be, and they f**k up alot.

Chirp:I know I said I wasnīt going to read your posts because they are too harsh and cold, but I would just like to say that it seems like you didnīt have a very loving enviroment growing up. I know that feeling. I do wish you stop spreading the negativity. I know you donīt mean to, but it does make people uncomfortable. I hope you find alot of love and happyness and start spreading the love instead. And if you donīt have children but you wish to, some day, I hope you do - and that you tell them how much you love them every day, because every child deserves to hear that all the time, weather they have acknowledged that need or not. Stay well. IP: Logged |

She is in denial. She also might have some mental problems. She is anti-social, per her words, and being nice to other people gives her headache, per her words again. It's a pity to watch someone being so screwed up. What she needs is a long therapy with a shrink to get over the fact that she was unloved as a child and that it is okay to be nice to other people and show them love. It's a vicious circle - "If I didn't receive any love as a kid, why would i give back love to other people now." Some get over it, some people just live in denial and become bitter. "It's not me, it's them" Therapy with a shrink or living with monks in an asian temple for a month...heck, make that an year. It's not too late. "eat, pray, love", honey IP: Logged |
