I believe our birthdays are only a few days apart, PD? At least by day, anyway. Even with my Virgo Moon and Cappy Mars, I do exactly what you just described here, hahahahaha.

I don't mean to negate what you're saying about yourself at all, but I did find that very amusing.

Pisces Power, Activate!

Eta: I want to add here that the absurdity continues, as I'm married to a man with a Leo Sun, Sag Asc, Leo Venus, and Aqua Mars.

You can probably imagine how happy he is when it takes me a couple of hours to "get ready" (i.e. leave the house).

OH THANK GOODNESS I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS BOAT OF SUPREME LAZINESS and with a Pisces Sun too??? It couldn't get better. I was born on the 20th of February, first day of Pisces I believe?

You know what, though?

(Ami, I'm definitely not trying to derail your thread, so I'll make this quick, or take it back up in H&H.)

All of my fire placements are at least somewhat afflicted (most of them are quite afflicted, some with hardly any positive aspects to speak of), and I also have the lack of energy that you mentioned, except for in sporadic bursts when I need to clean or do something physical that my Mars enjoys, like work outside or whatever. Cappy Mars stuff is good for me, and I get a lot of energy release from that, and Virgo Moon stuff. But otherwise I can often feel somewhat lethargic.

Eh...no.
I have plenty of fire. It's just that my fire placements all have hard aspects, are in detriment, or sometimes a little of both.

Eta: Your question made me laugh, because I can be so impatient with some of those fire placements, but no...not lacking, hahaha.

They haven't been as able to be "good teachers", owing to major external changes beyond their control, -
1) Far less time for parenting due to economic pressures forcing BOTH parents to work (+ Longer hours working, weekends no longer free.)
3)Vast influx of outside distractions nowadays -young people no longer inclined to listen to parents
4)The quality of schooling itself has drastically declined over past decades, with kids now being taught largely irrelevant stuff..

Re "Good Common Sense": I have noticed a distinct decline in, AND that people are even lacking understanding of what it actually means.

Here is an example of ABSENCE of "Good Common Sense" -
In economically depressed times when a large percentage of a nation's OWN citizens are struggling to make ends meet, can't afford medical care, or barely even keep a roof over their heads, because of a shortage of jobs, and wages not high enough.....
- DOES IT MAKE SENSE for the govt to open the
floodgates and let tens of thousands of immigrants in???

Common sense (= MOST people would agree)that this does NOT make sense!

Common sense politically can also mean one reality is presented as if common sense.

This same question was raised on a panel show in my country where it was contested that there is wealth but it's held by certain people e.g bankers and it would be common sense not to bail them out and then they receive massives bonuses. Another common sense view but the context of this is removed from the debate so it appears less natural a conclusion. A lot of politicians are using economic depression to push through their own agendas.

I was meaning to respond to this part.

No money (therefore it's common sense) = no immigrants should not be allowed = more money

But if you widen the angle on that lense

No money (therefore it's common sense) = no bonuses and the rich becoming richer = more money

Or, even looking at the premise there is actually more money than the public is being led to believe

(Money but act like there is) less money = people expect hardship and accept hard austerity = more money for the rich

So, I've not been personally affected by immigration at all and I know some areas have. There are definitely objections to it that seem valid. However, I do think politicians are using it, it serves their purpose on many levels to blame this matter when other matters are not brought into the discourse and therefore not into the realm of common sense.

I think theorists have often cited the Iraq war as 'common sense' being used to make something tenuous become a logical answer.
