I'm a researcher by profession and love astrology too! I'm spiritual and okay to accept that there are just things in universe in which we cannot understand or explain. I am okay to accept things as is. No need to pursue logically to try and find out answers to all my questions. Astrology works and it's good enough for me. There is larger energy at works and I'm part of it. IP: Logged |

I just have one question: do the two need to be linked in order for astrology to be significant to you?IP: Logged |

^^ no it never did before. But now it would be nice if they were linked simply to meet in the middle with this man so that neither one of us is completely wrong lol. I feel like one can't exist without the other.The more I learn about it, the more science DOES fascinate me.IP: Logged |

I look at astrology as an art and possibly a soft science akin to psychology. Both are subject to interpretation and are intuitive.It doesn't hold up to the venerable scientific method. Drop the argument with your friend. Comparing astrology/art to hard science is apples to oranges. ------------------ Claire "When going gets weird, the weird turn pro." -HST IP: Logged |

Astrology is the science of mathematics, geometry precisely.its a science of relationship, how one point relates to another. Mathematics is the only discipline that transcends language. It is the same throughout the universe. No matter how you calculate the result is the same. How can you argue that? It takes a material scientist to destroy the validity of astrology. It takes an abstract scientist to unlock the potential of astrology. In my experience anyone who tries to disprove astrology really doesn't know much about it, they are materialists who are brainwashed into thinking it's not real because someone else says so or because they never took the time to really study it, understand it.

I am going to go with the answer of what I quoted above.. I am a girl who grew up with Astrology. ITs my heart and soul. Some people speak multiple languages, mine are dogs, Astrology, Gym, Music and life.Too much info..... (??) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- I have noticed math plays a big part. ----------------------------------------- Back to the craziness. IM BUDDHA!. Jk. Am I ? Maybe! So I feel like we are all a blend of god. We are all little particles of a beautiful formation that exploded into this thing called Earth. And its not just humans, its everything. We all make the World. From the sky, to the trees, to the rocks and the clouds.... I have been posting way too many of my personal thoughts of Astrology on Facebook, and not on here. I deeply regret it because you deserve my thoughts. Astrology needs to be broadened, right? Because its my soul! MATE. Basically. Quick summarization. Theres more to life . EVERYTHING has an alternate meaning. EVERYTHING. Including Astrology. My never ending, incessant thoughts on the matter are this. Im born a Libra, but Im actually a Virgo. The internal world and the external world dont mingle. In Western Astrology, im completely Libra. LIKE superbly. ITs the way the world may see me. In Vedic, #sidereal. My true self evolves. This is the way I feel, and see life. This is the more intimate aspect of my character... I know theres dualities to everything because just like Astrology is a story, so is the real world. And so is the MYTHOLOGICAL WORLD. Thats a story also! But like all stories, there needs to be the logic side and the fun unplanned side. Look at my name. ASTRAEA. Thats me. Thats my unplanned life mythologically stated on a piece of paper. The books have been written. Astrology is the study and the scriptures, Mythology is the movie and the unsequenced evolutionable turn out.... Im coming along with these theories as I go along but MYTHOLOGY is a very important factor. IP: Logged |

Mythology is art/metaphors. People on here easily interpret my intended jokes/meanings of my words, when it wasn't too hidden. So I don't think we can just assume the greek or whoever actually believed there were zeus in the sky. Probably metaphors, like when you are sitting, you have been waiting on a bus corner in the rain, something stops you from catching the bus. So it came and left, then a person comes up, in the rain, mysterious, hands you some flowers, doesnt say anything and keeps going. Someone might say that the god of venus ordained that. Maybe it was something magical. To call it venus is just a fun play at the unknown. Maybe they didn't even think it was venus. (god). I don't know especially since people on here can see what I say and not understand how it wasn't litteral, same goes for reading stuff about 2000 year old people in different technology, different earth energy (age of aries/libra). Not saying you shouldnt do it, just saying anything is possible. IP: Logged |

i mean it probably was god who ordained you to meet the guy with the flowers. i know from experience ordained things like that always happen. so it was from god. but since that specific scenario was about beauty (recieving flowers) they might say "it was the god of venus" which venus is about beauty. if 2 people are getting angry, and starting to fight, there is actually an energy, metaphysical, between them. their own energy, and maybe even the energy on the planet during those moments. Then people can say - it was the god of mars at work. Or pluto. Vengeful. It's just calling a certain type of energy, god's forces, a different name.

So they saw these forces and knew they were real things, higher workings. Maybe they did think they were actual physical entities, with a body. Or maybe those were just plays, artforms, to depict these kinds of metaphysical experiences/phenoman. and make a bit of joke/ pleasure out of it. ease the tension. make it into a funny thing that all can relate to IP: Logged |

since there are different types of energy, they named each type. just like there is happiness, sadness, when you are sad, because you lost something, you can say it was hades's work. IP: Logged |

actually it makes sense. libra/aries (the age of greek gods) are cardinal signs. i know that cardinal highly understands WHY something is how it is. Like how did it get that way. so it makes sense after something happens, you lose a valuable note. you can say "dang hades!" cause they instantly wonder- how did it happen. They have a reason.

in the piscean age it would be more "what is about to happen". they lose the note "aww now i can't go to the king with the letter, now i'll lose my chance for the future job" but cardinal sign doesnt care for the future IP: Logged |

as i sit here, seeing the forum slowly get worse. i am highly cardinal, with my 1st house sun+ . as i experience the forum, i don't care or wonder how it's going to be. my prime understanding is just of why it is this way, why is eveything this way, i am constantly rumaging through past things, the arguements, re-working if what happened was i right. or understanding how i've been wrong for a long time. this is cardinality. thinking of the past. how are things going to be 10 days from now? i have no thoughts or care. even on the forum, when i wake up, or with email, i check for notifications. i see what things people responded to, so i see why they typed the things they said, cause i see what they were responding to. i see what motivated their feelings at the time. the source.

sorry maybe others dont have as much interest in their own modality because most people have more evening of a spread. they wont find any truths about themselves from their modalities if they are evenly each modality. me however i am highly cardinal. so i enjoy finding out about what my modality is. most others arent just 1, so they arent finding anything about themselves if they read about them. since all apply.

I believe Quantum physics/mechanics could be used to explain astrology?Quantum mechanics is THE coolest things in our times.  At last maybe we/they can begin to explain things like the placebo effect etc, and its just the beginning! IP: Logged |
