I've never understood myself. It seems to me that I've changed identity so much since I was a little kid. I was original and unique and I have never known why. I needed to know.

Being a typical teenager, I felt super f***** down one day and I had no idea what to do. I felt depressed, confused and had felt like I had no motive in life. I read my horoscope one day and it interested me.

I was curious. I learnt more and it not only helped me to understand myself, it blossomed me. I developed a new degree of self esteem, I felt happier with myself, I understand myself more now. I have a vision, an ambition that I aim to reach and I believe God has brought this world for us to understand, to live and to enjoy. All that confused energy, I understood through astrology and inside my head I have this massive world which works for me and I can interpret it and yeah. Astrology helped me become more spiritual.

What about for everyone else?

M.Blade, I am so happy to hear that astrology has benefited you so profoundly. I think it is a valuable inventory of strengths, weaknesses, gifts, etc.. to navigate challenges and obstacles we each face. Also, I believe self understanding brings self acceptance which enables us to bring compassion and acceptance to others.

I like to probe into people's psyches, including my own. It's a tool to see a bit more deeply (possibly) into the intricacies of who people are on a deeper level, what their struggles or strong points may be, etc.

It only offers a general blueprint for me, as I don't like to assume things about people based on placements or signs, but it does offer a blueprint, and a glimpse into things that people generally don't disclose otherwise.

Also, it helps to offer insight into my own behaviors and idiosyncrasies, although I've found that looking deeply within ourselves will often offer the same results.

To gain a better understanding on Libras. I have since realized it wasn't the Libra in him that ticked me off, it was his Gemini Moon....

This was exactly the case with me. Like exactly.

*Warning: novel to follow* I have always had an interest in astrology since childhood (turning 40 early next month. I also have Libran Sun conjunct Uranus. When a relationship is over, I never look back even when exes contact me. When they or I am done, I am always more DONE. The exception/anomaly decided to friend me over crackspace a few years back as we have many mutual friends. We were together 20 years ago & he broke my heart. When I was going through my separation/divorce, he reached out as he had gone through it himself. I, the Hard Hearted Hannah, fell right back in love again. I had to figure out why I broke my modus operandi. Our synastric and composite charts are insanely karmic. He is skeptical. I am fine with that. As long as he is loyal, honest, and respectful towards me, we are golden. We are going on 4 years. Damn, I probably just jinxed myself.

Just super flakey in general. I should have known though because it wasn't my first problem with one. I do like Gem Suns however!

I feel it's a very similar story... I actually did fine in school, I was very social and ok popular...then something just happened, it actually started when I got into astrology...it was a mix I think of many things that was happening in my life back then, so I really need something to explain why I felt that way... when I first read my horoscope I got more depressed because my chart is very difficult, but resently I learned that some of the hardest things in my horoscope can make me evolve into something greater...that bad aspects and placements are some challenges I have to overcome in some way, and there IS no other way than just keep trying...
I think it was kinda scary how much my chart fitted my personality and my overall situation in my life...
But resently I feel a burst of optimism again, and I think I'm very close to who I am, and it's never been like that before.. I think astrology really helped me to see what is real, even though many would point out that astrology isn't real, I do think it is, cause it just make sense to me and the way I am..
Also everybody else...I can just really see how they fit their chart 100%, even when I don't know their exact birthday..
I don't know WHY astrology is so true, it just is, I can't explain it, cause rationally it isn't...

But the more I learn about astrology the more I've come to see that though my chart may be one of the difficult ones, there is also very much potential for me, and it is really my own decision to be a good person...

So, this was a little pep talk, especially to myself lol:P

Aw thank you.

The answer is probably...

Because i'm a leo moon,
And we like attention. Hahaha.
Ugh.

But more specifically ... I chose it because it makes me laugh to think about someone running around screaming.... like Macaulay in Home Alone xD

I was sick and bored one day...
So I picked up a book on Cancer.
Then I started reading everything about Astrology, and then I got into witchcraft and other sorts of divination.

RunsAroundScreaming, My poor mom has a Leo Moon. I have 7H Pisces Moon. I feel bad for her. I showed up 3 weeks early and she had to protect a human shell deficient snail . You have my sympathies.

I'm into astrology for better understand myself. Before I didn't understand how I could be so paradoxical and considered myself an itinerant question mark lol. When I started learning astrology I found out my opposition between moon/rising and sun and thought: aha!! --> fell in love with astrology forever.

I was pretty young when I did... about 10 or 11. I saw a book at the store about sun signs. My mom let me get it because she was into astrology before.

I read it and saw how it fit my family members and some of my friends. I became more interested on why some fit more than others. I would read 'textbook' descriptions for Virgo and find that it didn't fit me well. Then I came across a book that gave interpretations for other planets. After that, I dropped it for a while.

Recently (earlier this year), I was looking for a little guidance in a relationship issue I've been having on and off. One of the things I was reading linked to astrology... even though I wasn't looking into astrology haha. From there I started learning aspects, degrees and asteroids. A lot from this site.

In my family, oriental/chinese astrology is a big thing, I'm influenced by it. However there are certain parts of my personality that my birth chart doesn't show, so I turn to western astrology in hope of finding answers.
