I just looked at the main LL forum and there are soooo many relationship threads popping up there recently. There's even one of the synastry of bullying right now. It seems like most of the newbies and even some of the oldies are still posting relationship threads in the main forum. The result is that there are like 15 to 20 people who post threads in this forum over and over again and they same people always respond.

You're welcome to contribute to the diversity of the threads here with new and exciting ideas, you know you have a lot of fans here, me included.

I agree with you, there's a little community here already, hopefully more are coming and apparently many people go first to the main forum, until they figure out there's one for relationships as well.

As a moderator, I can barely keep up with answering as many posts as possible, I haven't been notified yet about certain "fishing" methods we should use for other forums, so I have tried to create a number of threads I thought people would be interested in, being more popular, apart from the let's say more technical ones.
And the three of us are always here to answer any questions and we keep the threads coming.

What do you suggest for improvement?

Don't get me wrong I love the people in the community that we do have, but sometimes when the are questions that require multiple different answers there's not a big enough cross-section of people here to get all the answers you need. For example, if I were to ask what was your experience with Mars square Neptune in synastry most might not have even experienced this aspect, and I'd get like two responses based on experience for the entire thread. For survey type questions we especially need more people.

But everyone can contribute to this traffic increase and this mutual interaction by sharing their knowledge and answering the threads of newbies and older members.
There are several "hot" threads (pages 1 and 2) waiting for more opinions and many of them are survey type threads:

The survey people can worm through the other sections for additional information, if they want.

As a baby astrologist and non-moderator, I guess I just don't see this. Most of the threads I read/respond to are focused on techniques, not a specific rock or rocks in the sky. Yes, people may mention asteroids in their responses, but that certainly isn't a requirement.

It would be helpful to me if you would participate and explain why an asteroid with which I/others may be too enamored isn't relevant because of X or Z in the chart.

Edit: I think most of the ones you may be concerned about have been moved here from the Asteroid forum; maybe consideration needs to be given to leaving the questions that are related to specific asteroids in that forum?

I do think it might help traffic/interest too if the advanced astrologists would more clearly define what they are talking about when they a start a thread, either by linking to another thread or by briefly explaining.

Not to pick on any particular person, but the current thread on Secondary Houses just made my eyes glaze over after about the 3rd or 4th post because I have no clue what a secondary house is without going somewhere else to educate/remind myself. Some things I have memorized; some things not so much; and some things I haven't heard of yet.

Hi Delilah, this post should explain secondary houses for you.

SECONDARY HOUSES: THE HIDDEN INDICATORS OF ATTRACTION…

After looking the obvious indicators of romantic attraction, as is shown directly by the 5th ,7th and 8th houses, I’ll start examining the HIDDEN INDICATORS OF ATTACTION in the person’s chart…

Our SECONDARY 5th, 7th and 8th house cusps…

Just as we all have the PRIMARY 5th , 7th and 8th house cusps in our chart, which we all know about, there are also other houses in our chart which function as secondary versions of these houses. A backup, if you will, that provides extra information about our tastes in that area of life… These ‘backup’ houses are called SECONDARY HOUSES, and I’ve found, they can be amazingly revealing in terms of our romantic tastes when scrutinizing the secondary 5th, 7th and 8th house cusps and rulers…

I’ll continue to explain this using the Dsc as an example. But remember that EVERY house in your chart (including the 5th and the 8th ) has another secondary house that functions in a supplementary way regarding the theme that house.

Here’s how it works… (Using the Dsc as an example)

Every sign in the zodiac is naturally linked (on a symbolic level) to a certain house cusp in our chart… Aries is linked to the 1st house, Taurus is linked to the 2nd house, Gemini is linked to the 3rd house, Cancer is linked to the 4th house, and so on….

So if you want to know which of the house cusps in your chart are symbolically linked to your Dsc… look at the sign of the 7th house cusp (our PRIMARY 7th house), and then find the house in your chart that is symbolically linked to your Dsc cusp sign. For example, if you have a Pisces DSC look at the 12th house. In the case of a Pisces Dsc, the 12 house will revel supplementary information about who you are attracted to, and who you have chemistry with. Also look at planets in the 12th, the sign of house ruler, and how this ruler is aspected. In another example, if you have an Aquarius Dsc look at your natal 11th house for extra clues on what you like in partnership. For a Capricorn Dsc look to the 10th house. For a Virgo Dsc look at the 6th house. For an Aries Dsc look at the 1st house, and so on through the zodiac….

The house symbolically linked to the DSC sign is the ‘SECONDARY DSC’ and it can function as an extension of the 7th house….. In terms of what you attract, what type of partnership experiences you have, and what you look for in a partner…. It’s like the secondary Dsc is an ECHO of the primary or original natal 7th house…. The first time an echo bounces it is the clearest and the loudest…. And this echo is shown by the house symbolically linked to the sign on 7th house cusp…

Looking at it in another way… People with an Aries Dsc look for others who ‘energize’ their personality and self assertion…. So when a partner places planets in Libra or Scorpio in this persons 1st house, it will feel like natural partnership material for them. Same thing for people with a Gemini Dsc… They look for those who will energize them in the area of communication…. So when people put planets in this person’s 3rd house of communication, it also brings to the fore issues of partnership… And for people with a Sagittarius Dsc, they look for others that they can share their beliefs with, and explore with, both mentally and physically… So when people put planets into this person’s 9th house it inspires them to want to join forces with this person… And as you can guess it continues like this on through the zodiac using Dsc signs…

FOR ANYONE STILL CONFUSED ABOUT LOCATING THE ‘SECONDARY DSC’…

Here’s a list of the house cusps to look to as an extension of your DSC for each rising sign. These house cusps are symbolically linked to the sign on your DSC… showing what other traits you are attracted to in others, apart from just what the DSC alone shows.

Aries rising, Libra DSC… The 7th House has double importance.

Taurus rising, Scorpio DSC… Look to the 8th House.

Gemini rising, Sagittarius DSC… Look to the 9th House

Cancer rising, Capricorn DSC… Look to the 10th House

Leo rising, Aquarius DSC… Look to the 11th House

Virgo rising, Pisces DSC… Look to the 12th House

Libra rising, Aries DSC… Look to the 1st House

Scorpio rising, Taurus DSC… Look to the 2nd House

Sagittarius rising, Gemini DSC… Look to the 3rd House

Capricorn rising, Cancer DSC… Look to the 4th House

Aquarius rising, Leo DSC… Look to the 5th House

Pisces rising, Virgo DSC… Look to the 6th House

Can you see the pattern now?

Celebrity examples…

Ryan Reynolds has late Virgo rising, with a Pisces Dsc. His secondary 7th house is the 12th house. So he’s attracted to Pisces and 12th house energy in his love life. He married Blake Lively who has a stellium in early Virgo (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and possibly the Moon) all falling into Ryan’s 12th house… Blake’s Asc is unknown, so we can only guess as to why she was attracted to Ryan.
