All things Astrology; post all new Topics in this Forum, but no personal reading requests or personal chart postings are allowed

---

That is not to say you cannot give a link to your chart image elsewhere in case we need clarity in answering a question of principle or about some specific factor in your chart.

--->All threads with requests for personal readings with charts will be closed and transferred to Personal Readings.

--->All threads discussing relationship astrology will be closed and transferred to Interpersonal Astrology.

The Astrology sub-forum is for general astrology discussion. It has a variety of topics.

The Astrology For Beginners sub-forum is for those new to astrology and the most basic starting inquiries.

Please make use of these sub-forums rather than posting everything in here in Astrology 2.0 -- Thank you.

i posted my charts in that thread because it was asked for. and it became personal.
but i did and do want it to be for all.

what are the limits for this? :P

... and it says under the "Astrology" sub forum that we shall not post new threads.

nice catch that you saw people are 'forbidden' from starting new topics in Astrology beginner's forum.

"accuracy" of information is NOT a high priority or valued at LL 'in general' -- (in case you're a beginner who is wanting to learn good astrology in earnest).

BASED on former years of conversation and resolutions here--
LL is ONLY to be "a social forum" for discussing various notions, topics around astrological words, ideas, and interests.
.. Gently, it is NOT meant to be an accurate "astrological teaching" place. That has been something I personally wrestle with here, since I am into the research.

A few years ago, we had a year-long battle with discussions about 'what' LL ultimately was FIRST considered to be.
.. We lost maybe a third of our members after that. A lot of quality talent left.

Sooo .. It's a great beginner's place to get comfortable using astrological words. And, there is NO guarantee that the information you receive or find here will be 'accurate' or true astrology according to competencies.

There are paid-forums outside of LL if you want actual accurate information by professionals in the field.

LL 'hiccups' every once in a while--
materials edited-out re-appear

Some posts at time will completely disappear (for ~whatever reason). If you've written, or value what someone else wrote to you, then I would suggest printing it out for your own files?

TIP on reducing space ---

You have the option of taking away the "[img]" code after your group of friends/people have made their own suggestions about your chart.

Delete the 's' from http for the url IF you desire. It will be clickable from LL.

Some people provide their own chart url,
or website urls--
in the 'signature' box,
simply check-it on/off,
when you create posts and submit.

*~
I own that it's "my fault" that some threads go into depth-conversations. I tend to go deep and into too much depth and detail. Take it as a sign and clue that 'I cared' about you, and what you wrote touched me in some way.

(humor) *ahem* In the future i'll try to stay fluffier, light, shallow and more entertaining with 'chit-chatty' posts????

and thank you for explaining mirage29 <3
I now understand why some posts in the beginning dissappeared :P
and great knowing how accurate you are, so I dont take all as "this is the answer".
but its good to have an open discussion.
personally i feel astrology is very open, and bendable. (if that is a english word)
I use it you work with myself, and it gives me hints on what to work on, and pinpoints me in different directions.

there are still some people with some interesting insights, but... if i need to go over 500 threads to find one that is useful, i better buy a good book of astrology and read it, which is what I am doing. that is what forums like these are suppose to. people study, read, and come here to comment and expand and learn. but when people just learn few post from here and there and come to "discuss", there is such non-sense...

I am not a professional astrologer. i have never taken a systematic approach to learning astrology, so i am not excluding myself from the problem here, but hey... really "what is my ruling planet" type of question... that takes us to so many basics discussion here...

said that, this forum has a social feeling and many people visit for that reason. if you want to socialize, then, that is the forum.. if you want to get insights into your astrology journey.. hum.. probably, you better go to some books or maybe blogs (some are worse than this one)

from my side, i am in an age and circumstances, where i just want to continue my learning journey and this forum is not giving me what i need. i am not withdrawing totally, but i see this forum most suitable for teenagers who want to play astrology...

posted September 15, 2018 07:32 AM            

There is so much more insight I have gotten from "newbies " and other so-called "beginners" here lol. Clarity on something that I thought complex to figure out.

But its a fine balance : too many "experts" remove the fun part and make it more austere and serious.

Too many "newbies" or those who just want to have fun, can make the forum seem more like pop astrology. Not fun either.

I honestly don't like threads like "What aspects would cause a pimple to burst?".

Yeah some of the forums on here are very outdated and haven't had people active on them in months/years. While I agree we should stick to a particular forum, I think it is unrealistic to say we should use all those little random sub-forums that clearly aren't going to get any replies from anyone in them. Most people don't even bother scrolling down through the sub-forum list, they just check the first 4 or 5 for topics.

You can choose among your various friend-cliques here. It promotes ways to go deeper into various interests. It supports social bonding.

Different 'atmospheres' are created on each floor of our mansion-home here!

I am GLAD we are not "like other
websites."

People can choose to go into slower subforums, that would overwhelm some. Some of the subforums are more "personal" and intimate.

Pace at some of the other forums go at lightning speeds!! LOL

TEEN Subforum

I would love to see some of the more-advanced astrologer teens here take Leadership there. Start some Quality discussions. (You are not babies!!! LOL)

There have been articles in the past year at Astrodienst that talk about generational developmental aspects {dealing with Mars and Mercury??? not sure}.

UK astrologer Alex Trenowith has published materials on the adolescent generational transits. Saturn and Jupiter.
.. Would be good to see topics and discussions started on personal experiences dealing with those.

The previous active members there have "aged-out" long ago. Randall is carrying the ball and talking to himself now, exclusively?? -- Help him out????

*~
I'll put another plug in for Yellow Wax sub forum. It's intimate, and a sanctuary for sharing Creative personal work. We have had a very supportive atmosphere.

The moderator there also mods at Astral Realms. If you have dreams when you go to sleep at night, and want to discuss the possible meanings of the content of your subconscious and unconscious creative realms, then you are welcome to share your interesting content there.

Asteroids Rock!!!!
We have different contributors, with varied points of view. I invite you to creatively explore name asteroids. If you're good at "puns" and word-pivots, then you have what it takes to explore this amazing synchronous side-dimension of astrology.

Divine Diversities.. for the more philosophically minded, especially in regards to 9th House topics, belief systems of all kinds.

Just because a subforum is not as 'active' with quantity of visitors, I can speak for the Quality of indepth-discussions surrounding topics that would be easily glossed over and lost in some of the busier and more-active places.

*~ Personal Readings subforum.
It's not as active for astrology as it is for oracle and divination, although there seem to be some very good astrologers hidden in the lot?! But the 'focus' there is more on divination.
-- I am not as familiar with the other oracle-oriented sites at LL.. but maybe they need to introduce themselves, and leave links TO ongoing conversations in those places.

*~
When I first came to LL, I was stiff and very very shy to move-away from the one thread I devoted my attention to.

When LL Jovian started leaving 'breadcrumbs' {links} to other discussions around LL, it lead me to discover the "other rooms" of information here. Slowly slowly slowly, I got to know the various LL-posters, and which forums discussed topics of interest comfortable to me.

I am grateful to her, for her friendship, and I miss her presence.

I see us having subforum-structural bones as being a strength here.

*~
NS!!! { }
There was a saying here long ago-- that you need to get to know the various posters at LL first, before understanding the kinds of relationships that are older and already-established here. .
.. It takes a little time.
I'm glad that you read those astrology books, and personally will look forward to what you have to share in the future.

*Heart*

Maybe other people here who are more prominent, active, and familiar with other subforums (especially the 'slower' ones) can describe their experience in that forum?

Maybe you'll help shape and fill-out some of our subforums? Some of them need a boost. Content-providers.

The subforums should be allowing for a deeper dive into some topics.

They are Opportunities.

Maybe like some have been doing--
a poster can "announce" a subtopic in the 'busier' forums, with a link to their discussion thread in smaller forum?
