Does your mind mess this feeling up trying to justify that logic is better? How many mistakes have you made not listening to your feeling?What are your "feeling aspects"? Example: you talk to a potential business partner that lays it out perfectly. Everything on paper adds up. But your feelings say the exact opposite! You will proceed accordingly: 1: look at logic and say "this seems good, let's do it!" OR 2: think for a moment and say "this feels wrong, I'm sorry". Which planet/aspect do you thank for having?

Yay, Vajra! *waves hello* Nice to see you on here. Not to sound creepy but I was wondering if you'd left LL (which would be a shame, cause I like your posts). Apparently not. On topic:
I don't have experience with business partners or projects, but I do have experience with not following my intuition and ending up in pretty bad situations. However, the tricky part is recognizing when you're being intuitive vs. when you're being paranoid... Although, in my case, very often, even the 'paranoid' feelings end up being justified, eventually (and I don't think it's a self-fulfilling prophecy either, because sht hits the fan after I've started trusting the person/process...) But who knows? It's definitely not something I have figured out yet (and perhaps never will). IP: Logged |

Who are you talking to, Aries? Vajra,
I hope things will get better/easier for you, and that you'll be able to get some rest very soon! Good luck, hang in there. I am a Scorpio Sun indeed. Cancer IC. Interesting about the distinction... Hmm, well perhaps it's because Scorpio/Pluto energy is often said to have the power to manifest things more readily than other signs/planets? Or is it just a "knowing" that things will go wrong? Hopefully I'll get to the point where I can distinguish between "vague uneasy feeling" and actual warning intuition. Ahh.

You can't always go by what feels right because then you may end up living in your COMFORT ZONE.I'll give an example I used to be this crazy loner type person who would never go out. I would just brood and be miserable about how my life was,ETC. So when my friends from school offered me to hang out with them, I was so used to being alone at my house that is was like foreign. And it felt unsafe and something thT wouldn't work out I just didn't want to do it... But then I got out of this bubble I lived in and forced myself to be normal, do what my sisters and other family were doing And no matter how much I hated it and that "not right" feeling from doing something essential, It was well worth it. So you can't always listen to your heart. You have to do what needs to be done. End of story

Does your mind mess this feeling up trying to justify that logic is better?I don't think I've had many cases where I try to convince myself that logic is better or gut feeling is better. To me, either of those when stands alone, doesn't reflect the whole picture. How many mistakes have you made not listening to your feeling? Oh well quite a few. Some of those mistakes happened because I interpreted gut feeling wrongly. What are your "feeling aspects"? Just neppy aspects. And aries moon. Example: you talk to a potential business partner that lays it out perfectly. Everything on paper adds up. But your feelings say the exact opposite! You will proceed accordingly: 1: look at logic and say "this seems good, let's do it!" OR 2: think for a moment and say "this feels wrong, I'm sorry". Which planet/aspect do you thank for having? I'd ask the potential partner to explain one more time. Then if I could, I'd take everything somewhere private and look at it closely and thought about it very carefully in order to determine the source of my uneasiness and to see if there was any hole in such plan. I'd discuss it with the potential partner, and with other people, to get some perspectives. If I couldn't buy some time, then I'd either proceed with extreme caution, or drop it all together. I don't do anything that could bind me legally when I feel unsure.
This scenario has happened quite a few times. In all of those times, it turned out they were trying to pull the wool over my eyes. I attribute it to my cap placements. I get excited about new projects and plans easily. But I'm extremely cautious in financial agreements. IP: Logged |

I personally only enter into something that feels right after looking right. Going by this; I have fully prepared for the outcome,and therefore can't be fooled per say because I've determined what I need from the situation beforehand( selfish or selfless). Even if I lose, I win. This doesn't mean others get hurt or whatnot (for instance in financial or personal I expect to be on an even level sort of thing- from business, I expect lies, personal I don't).So I guess for me they are both one and the same and they must line up or it just won't work either way. Also, I've never lent money to friends, but I've paid for the last of what Can seem I have, whether it's material, financial, etc. with no loan attachment ever. I've also never been asked personally for a loan. When it comes to business, as stated above its an even playing field and therefore judged off of personal needs/gain by both parties, and having backs covered regardless. This is business and would never apply to a friendship. Never experienced it, but if it did it would no longer in that state be a friendship, but business.------------------ All that glitters is not Gold. IP: Logged |

You're the only person I've heard, besides myself, saying that "even if I lose, I win". IP: Logged |

Virgo stellium in 12 Uranus moon aspect Probably other thingsThrough years of experience (and mistakes) I've learned that what I feel is very often right. Too much logic has interfered and led me down wrong paths before, broken relationships, etc. IP: Logged |

I try to postpone the decision so I meditate to feel the answer while in a peaceful state. But yes, I can also add everytime I had a strong bad feeling things went bad down the road.I try to balance the intuition and rationality. Checking the transits can help. I don't like to take important life changing decisions under Neptune's transits. If I can avoid that is... IP: Logged |
