the astrology forum is becoming everything but an ASTROLOGY forum. mods are not doing their job and it's boring. between the antichrist thing and the celebs horoscope this is just cr@p!

lindaland is cool no problem about it. but this is about astrology too, i mean a little, or not? am i wrong to expect to see stuff about astrology, and i mean SERIOUS stuff, not just like what is her rising sign!

BORING!

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE?

To the extent that we are capable of doing so, we ought to distinguish between pride and vanity. I myself am guilty of both, but far more guilty of vanity than pride. Mostly, it is my vanity which offends, though, largely, because it is mistaken for pride. My vanity is immense, but more to be pitied than reviled. My pride is not so bad, and has its reasons. In any case, it is only my candor which makes these things so apparent, and such easy targets. They seem larger than they are, only because I confess and display them so honestly. There are many who harbor these vices to a far greater degree than I do, but it is not in their nature to unmask themselves, and expose themselves to every slight which lies in wait for a man willing to be, and to show, himself.

"Pride and jealousy there was in his eye, for his life had been spent in asserting rights which were constantly liable to invasion; and the prompt, fiery, and resolute disposition of the man had been kept constantly upon the alert by the circumstances of his situation."
— Walter Scott

"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
~ Jane Austen

"Vanity is a mark of humility rather than of pride."
~ Jonathan Swift

The whole site is worth a read if you have never done so before, it opens up a whole new way of looking at synastry.

the theory of progressed synastry as Paul Westran describes it, is really amazing. Got me all enthusiastic about astrology again, when I stumbled over it.

I understand you.

Sometimes I am quite a bit frustrated myself; I`d love to do more astrology in depth, but I guess there are only a handfull people who are interested in investing so much time and study into it.
And it`s probably okay, astrology should also be something to enjoy.
And not everyone enjoys searching for patterns like I do.

But there are interesting threads, too. At least interesting to me.

Vain is a word that seems to get attached to the phsyical more often than not though I think the intellectual version is just as abundant. My true love did tell me early on in our relationship that it was not attractive to flaunt my cleverness so that told me, lesson learned -> there you go astrologers, his Sun/Saturn is Conjunct my 3rd House Mars/NN.

"inordinate self-love is the cause of every sin ... the root of pride is found to consist in man not being, in some way, subject to God and His rule."
