This saying was associated with the cancer ascendant once which is my ascendant. IP: Logged |

Makes sense. To me, it shows the correlation between mind, emotion and body, to a certain degree. Not sure if that is what they were going for though. Such as someone feeling as if though they are having a heart attack, and suddenly their heart rate picks up from being anxious. Basically, I think this phrase is showing an opposition to logic being the main motivation behind things. In other words, you may be more influenced by your emotions. You may pay more attention to what you feel emotionally, rather than what is happening on a more logical level. I could be wrong though. To me, that phrase could mean a few different things.

Yeah I think something similar. I think it's to do with what you identify with and make decisions with. I'm a thinker, "I think, therefore I am". My thoughts often dictate my direction, my experience and interaction with the world. Not that I don't feel, far from it. But when push comes to shove, I think before I feel, or, feel because of what I think. Not think because of what I feel. For the saying you gave, I'd say the opposite. I'm not even sure that I'd tie specific astrological placements as much as the overall picture of that person (Which is included in their whole chart) Not sure if I made any Damn sense. IP: Logged |

I agree with what has been said. Cogito ergo sum (I think therefore I am) would be the original sentence from which this idea comes from. Definitely 'I feel therefore I am' fits a Cancer ascendant very well (and Pisces and Scorpio for that matter). Your emotions are the fundamental source that motivate your actions.IP: Logged |
