the doctor explained it to me but I'm not good with technical terms, but basically my nose is just really screwed up inside and I have to breathe through my mouth a lot.

this is really annoying, because I like to talk slow and calmly but I haev to talk all frantic and jittery because I cant breathe well out of my nose and it makes me sound nasal.

i was punched in the nose in 9th grade and my problems started since then.

the doctor said i need surgery btu i was holding off on it.

i mean- i guess this is probably the type of thing like a broken bone that calls for western medicine, right?

but i was wondering if you guys had any advice for natural ways to help me out in the mean time, or if i should have the surgetry at all.

its a nose problem - is that aries ruled, since its in the head, or is it something else? if i got the surgery, what would the best day to have it be on? like, should i wait till the moon is in a certain sign? I remember reading that in star signs but the book is in my mom's room right now and i cant get it.

and are there any other things i can do to help out my breathing? any certain colors or anything?

Avalon~ I hope you don't mind me shortening your nic, I thought maybe you could use some of it's 23 energy 'bout now

I know someone that suffered from the same nose problem, and he had the surgery, was very happy with it and never looked back.

If you decide on the surgery, I DO think you should consult *the stars* first, to determine a harmonious astro-time for this procedure. I think that is very important. And...

Just as important that you have a good, and experienced surgeon perform the procedure. Get referrals if possible - interview the doctor, to make sure you like him/her and are comfy with them

As far as other remedies, I don't know... I would be curious as to what Purple Leprechan might have to say about it tho - and Marigold too.

YIVY~ What does it mean if our nose doesn't work right?

The nose is ruled by scorpio, so make sure the moon isn't in scorpio when you have your surgury

Also, this is going to sound really weird, but I swear it works! When you are having trouble breathing, take a peppermint tea bag and take a big wiff of it. I don't exactly know if it will work for your condition, but if it doesn't help don't keep doing it!!! But I've noticed for colds and stuff, it can help breathing so much!!!

Avalon...it does sound like surgery is the answer. I did notice that you said you had to speak slower. Perhaps it is a reminder from your HIGHER S-ELF to think before you speak

I personally think our HIGHER SELVES could come up with less painful reminders.

it sounds like i should go ahead with the surgery then - i'll leave finding a good doctor up to my mom, she's a medical transcriptionist and she went to nursing school and everything and she's relaly smart about that stuff.

its funny, my mom doesn't know how to spell simple one syllable words but she can spell all those weird crazy medical words perfectly.

i'm not good with researching and stuff, i'm too impatient and i just want to get it overwith - i cant BELIEVE i have no aries in my chart

i guess having so much leo and sag in my chart is part of it but still

i didnt know scorpio ruled the nose also, i thought it was just the genitals (hey, i'm still a teenage boy, of course i'm not going to forget THAT one )

when scheduling something like surgery, does it help to have it when the moon is in - like - the polarity of the sign, like if the moon was in taurus? or does it not matter, as long as its not scorpio?

and you could be right, YIVY - i could definitely benefit a LOT from thinking before i speak - or type, for that matter

thanks again everyone!

And, a lot of us could benefit from the 'think before you speak' maxim
