I think most people appreciate a straight shooter. I get about 25% criticism and 75 % appreciation for saying things out straight and I respect myself for being strong when it is hard.

I think that if you want to build self esteem, you have to force yourself to be authentic

You will screw up. You will show your azz.

You will be hurt.

You will be humiliated when you fall, but you will find your core and your core will grow and that is really true peace

Is that why MANY people, including some of the most gifted astrologers on this site disagreed with you?

Maybe you should go read that thread again.

As I said, Points have been missed.

If I'm doing an accident recontruction, it's based on reality. Not, oh that car must be at fault because it's an Audi and Audi drivers are A-holes. Then proceed to claim that as absolute truth.
If you want to dislike a moon, dislike it. But don't announce to the world that this is just how this moon is. That's how that moon is to YOU.
If it's a snapshot of the moon's qualities in that sign, do it proper. If it's your OPINION on that moon sign, say it.
Don't spread your batshit crazy reality all over the place.

It's a real simple fix. I just won't bother to read your articles. Half the time it doesn't seem like you know up from down. The absolute worst "professional astrologer" that I've come across. (As in how often you say something that is a smack in the face lie)

The terminology being used here, 'political correctness', 'standing up for oneself' etc. is used to describe something completely different from what these 2 phrases actually mean.

Finding your truth and speaking it, does indeed take courage and can lead to resistance.

Applying your personal experience and using it to generalise a whole group of people, is NOT standing up for yourself. Do racists, homophobes and all other kinds of bigots 'stand up for themselves' when attacking (verbally or otherwise) people they don't know, based only on 1 single characteristic?
Shall we applaud them for their 'political incorrectness'?

I don't mean to fuel this argument or offend anyone, but what I've witnessed on this forum during the past couple of days has appalled me (the Libra Moon statements were mildly irritating to me but the statements and insinuations about Muslims I still feel infuriated about - and before anyone suspects I'm a Muslim aka a potential terrorist, I am not religious and come from a Christian background. The last place I expected to come across such attitudes was an Astrology forum).

Any person that calls themselves a 'professional astrologer' yet is biased and slings attacks at certain signs, planets and or aspects because they've had bad experiences with that sign isn't professional. That in itself shows how amateur they indeed are. We as people are subjective. What someone thinks and feels may be the total opposite for someone else. That's life but DO NOT regard your subjective opinions as facts. It's an opinion and will always be an opinion. I value factual statements. I enjoy reading other opinions but don't do well when that opinion is being regarded as a fact.

When reading someone's interpretation I don't want to hear what I want to hear. Are we aware of how incredibly fake and scripted that is? I want objective and something that is fluid, easy to understand. I don't want something riddled with feelings or bitterness. It's so off-putting and unattractive to me. I want to make up my OWN mind about something not have it made up for me. I can't stand people that whine and would rather not read someone else's complaints. It's negative and depressing.

I'm interested in any N N in Scorpio discussions because I have that (not only that but NN in 8th)..There's a real lack of discussions to be found anywhere on this/these placements...it's bugged me for a very loooooong time..

Agreed, I want to know I have it also!! Taurus NN in 8th!!

I guarantee you, there is LOTS of such information readily available. As well as several books on the various Node placements.

I think it can show us all how this transit is affecting us and coming out through these posts and threads. It's also the last thing I'm ever going to say about all of this.

I don't know if that emoticon is a way of mocking me, Ami, but I'm pretty disappointed in you. I was the under the impression that you were a reasonable, open-minded individual. But, clearly, you've shown yourself to be the opposite. You've handled this entire situation in a really immature, unevolved manner.

You can take pride in feeling like you're somehow winning the argument here and acting like you don't care about the objective input the rest of us have been patiently trying to give you. But, I think it's going to become a hollow victory, one of these days. A lot of people on here are plain fed up with your narrow-mindedness, including those who were once supportive of you. And how satisfying is that?

Make articles for yourself and your way all you want, without caring about the feedback. But, eventually, that's the only audience you'll be writing for: YOU. Have a good one.

And I don't know why a moderator hasn't closed this topic down already (as well as the Libra Moon one) because it's beyond counterproductive and useless, at this point.

I have a chart to do and I will write some articles on the nodes, later.

Let's try to love each other, even though we disagree. Why not?

We are all cool.

We are all members of the human race.

We all hurt.

We all want to be special.

We all have egos and we all love.

Love ALL you guys!

Blessings to you all!

Without any intention to promote defamation...

I think, that... perhaps it's because there's money involved.
