Although, I am still relatively a new member to this community, I have noticed that people are quite reluctant to voice their true opinions or advices, if it meant political incorrectness.

Just like everyone else, I love hearing what I want to hear. But that is not why I constantly visit this forum.
And yes, this forum can be, if it isn't already, THE place for comfort and entertainment for many. But if we were to discuss Astrology, while just telling everyone what they want to hear, I think we are seriously restricting ourselves from true purpose of astrology and self improvment.

By no means am I suggesting that we should be irresponsible with our statements, but what I am simply suggesting is that people here should not be this scared to offer their true advices, ideas or opinions, as long as it does not come off rude or classless (For instance, insulting someone in particular for no good reason, using foul languages or assuming that someone would be ugly solely due to ASC sign and so on)

Furtheremore, I think we owe it to the people who were brave enough to open themselves up and talk about themselves or other subjects, which can be quite difficult for many. What I mean is, if we bothered to reply to someone and if we truly respect that person, we should not treat/spoil that person like a baby, if it meant against improvement.

I mean I don't know about you guys, I visit here as often as I can, to truly learn more about myself and find more ways to raise self-awareness. This means, if people were to just tell me what I want to hear, or what the majority would love to hear, they are wasting their own time and my time! We are not here to become politicians or build some sort of popularity contest I hope!!

Also, to be blunt here, I don't think any of you will meet me in real life. Even if any of you were to offend me, nothing is going to happen!! I mean, can't you people just tell me what you really think in resonable manners? Without being so worried about the possibility of being politically incorrect?

Personally, I really love it when someone gives me good advices, even if it's not politically correct.
For example, astrolgers such as Ami Anne, commonly known for her researches in asteroids and their astrological effects, is brave enough to touch both the good and dark effects of asteroids. Not just good, but also bad.

Not only is her work balanced in such manner, she was also able to truly help someone like me, simply because she did not shy away from voicing what she believed in. If it wasn't for her, I think I would have not noticed that there were certain asteroids that could take me to dark places and so on.

Examples go on and on.. I post many many synastry questions, and I just love those who guide me to the truth!!

Hey, I don't know if you're posting this as a response to what happened in your North Node in Scorpio forum. But, I'm really sensing some projection going on...

I think that the discussion was progressing in an intelligent way. You voiced your opinion on North Node in Scorpio being a "weak" placement and a few other people, including myself, responded in the contrary. Not offensively or defensively or aggressively. Just providing different points.

Yet, you were convinced that you had offended people and kept going on about that, even when I said that you weren't. I personally think you might just be very scared of BEING politically incorrect, which is a pretty odd phrase to use for astrology. We're not talking about climate change and immigration, after all.

I don't know exactly what answer you were looking for. No one was discouraging your opinion. You're entitled to have it. I'm just as entitled to disagree with it, though. I'm pretty sure I clearly stated in that thread that I think balanced interpretations of placements - showing both the strengths and the challenges - are the way to go. I don't believe in telling people what they want to hear but I also don't believe in narrow-minded stereotypes of placements. That's all I was saying. But, it just seemed like you weren't exactly listening...

I don't know. I don't feel like this is particularly aimed at me or anything. But, I'm just sensing an oddly defensive/apologetic vibe from you when none was called for. It seemed like you felt you were hurting everyone's feelings or something when I'm sure that wasn't the case at all.

Just relax into these discussions. We're all just tossing our thoughts around and, again, you never once offended me.

My statements above are not the result of my previous thread
It just happens to be that I feel like... people are becoming too sensitive regarding political correctness to a point where purpose of astrology is becoming weakened.
I guess I kind of held this frustration in for a while, which is why I falsely assumed that you were sensitive about the political correctness.
In short, I have had this frustration for a while and... I figured it's about time for me to speak for what I believe in, even if I may be viewed as an unpleasant individual by many. At least worth a mention xD

Alright, I see where you're coming from. But, I wouldn't let yourself get frustrated by people's opinions. Like you said, you don't even know us and probably won't meet us, right?

It doesn't make you an unpleasant person to speak your mind. But, I think the more frustrated and defensive you get with people, the more people might just get a weird kind of vibe. And then it kind of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, because your assumed opinions about what people might think about you (which might be blown out of proportion) can make them think that very thing about you.

I don't think you're unpleasant. But, it's good to know that other people practice astrology in their own ways. It's good to honor that. Everyone in the astrological community has their own approaches and beliefs. For instance, I could care less about minor aspects like quintiles and all of that. In fact, I really don't believe in them. But, if someone else does, they're totally free to. I think one of the true things that weakens astrology is that there is some sort of rigid, "right or wrong" system to practicing it. That makes everything too black-or-white.

So, it's good to keep an open mind and not get so reactionary when people have different opinions or when you just have to agree to disagree. That's not something that should be seen as threatening or as evidence that people don't like you or are getting ****** off by what you have to say. Just see it for what it is: a different perspective.

Anyways, we're cool, just so you know.

Thank you, Venus, so very much <3

You really made my day and I really needed it today, badly.

Bless you, my Friend/Angel

Some people are more blunt than others. You can't change an adult's self-expression... so take in the advice you find helpful and ignore the rest.

I don't personally believe that certain placements are weaker or stronger than others. I would use the words more challenging or less challenging/easy.
It's not because I want to play semantics - but because I no longer believe that *weak* or *strong* are accurate or helpful descriptions.
To each their own

And yes - Ami is an awesome astrologer

Oh Guys

I am so touched and so humbled. Thank you so much. It is really hard to stand up when I know I will not be liked

I force myself because I know the ONLY way out of any problem or issue is the naked truth and that usually hurts because it brings down walls.

Thank you for loving me through all my many, many, many warts

Did you say North Node in Scorpio forum??
WHERE? WHEN?
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..

I have a no BS policy. My 0° SAG MARS does not allow sugar coating. Granted, my VIRGO rising is a bit tactful about it, but I still have to tell it like it is.

I've also been an astrologer for 25 years. I've seen all kinds in that time. I prefer the ones who are less into anecdotal evidence, but that's just me. I'm not into absolutist law. Nothing, in my view, is 100% the way someone sees it. But many are married to their opinions to the detriment of seeing the biggest picture. That's tough to see, but common.

Go to your favourite search engine. Type: 'Scorpio north node' or what-have-you, with 'site:linda-goodman.com'

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

Lots of "info"- YES ...but a lack of discussions about this/these particular placements. Discussions with other people who have THIS in their chart.
I have been on a search for very looooong time, for other peoples experiences of this placement.
I have NEVER come across any person on internet sites who has DOUBLE this!
I wish there were an entire website or support group for Nth Node in Sc/8th house
people!
(it is possibly the most difficult sth (taurus)node position to extricate oneself from..

I think I sense what you mean, re "political correctness"...affecting even the study of astrology.
It is an undeniable fact that "political correctness" today has become rampant, and is being used as a tool to distort people's sense of reality.
(I have often wondered myself, whether, and to what extent even astrology has been affected.)
I noticed that when you used the word "weakness"...everybody (even though well meant) quickly jumped in to deny, or explain away why Nth Node in Sc is NOT a weak placement.

However, this placement DOES suggest a weakness.
ie (for those with this placement who can identify)...That of over relying on old modes of coping..
eg OVERINDULGENCE in sensory comfort to provide a feeling of security...
Of course the lesson is that true security can not be gained from material things..

Sigh.

Swan--with the NN, you just have to remember PURPOSE and ASPIRATIONAL. Think of the sign as that and the House. Does that help?
