Since nobody is really going to honestly read this thread considering who posted it, let me take the time to get some things off of my chest.
I feel like the child that everything thinks stinks in the classroom-given smiles of pity occasionally, but otherwise ignored. I may get a pity reply here or there, a wave, or smile by some compassionate soul making the best out of an interaction with me, but for the most part, I'm alone.

I come on this forum to vent and express myself-to interact with people who are open-minded; conscious, but instead I'm facing cliques, chitter chatter between private groups, and feuds between folks who have been posting for years.

I try to tell myself that situations like this don't make people who they are-the number of followers you have, likes you get, or friends you make don't make you any more or less visible to the world.......but let's face it, it does, as all the worlds a stage, and everybody is a guest judge.

I know LL is starting to make me sad though.........just another place where I'm invisible.

I know how you feel - in real life and on line.

I initially registered for this forum because I felt that my energies were not being channelled in my real life. I had/have questions, but my real life friends are not at my disposal 24/7. This made me somewhat anxious because sometimes, I need comfort during the night or an answer or sign during the night; and I have found that LL is my release (at times).

You are not the only one who does not get their posts read or responded to. You need to look out for my name on here I have plenty of 0 reply posts, but I just keep going - regardless! Making a name for myself and learning new things by trolling other posts - just so I can do the things that I want people to do for me, for myself.

On the other hand, I think the thing with this forum is that you need to make your presence known and input where you can. This builds up respect because other posters begin to understand that you are not just here to ask for a free reading etc. I did see something about that being a problem here. You have to earn your kudos (somewhat) as a big dog, and that goes for the real world, as well as on line. It's not always nice or fair... but keep going!!! You already on 500+ posts

P.s. It's a shame that you deleted your original post because I was going to make an attempt at an interpretation for you (using the limited knowledge that I have picked up)

P.s.s. What private groups? No idea they existed, let's start our own! lol xxx

Hope this made you smile

In response to the title of this post, I would say that the answer to your chart involves the 4th house and any aspects made to the ruling planet of this house. You would be Moon or the planetary ruler of your ascendant sign. Obviously, there is more to the interpretation... but that is always how I get started x

You made me cry actually because I thought I was misunderstood, and even though it makes me sad thAt your posts or threads go un-noticed as well, you have been experiencing the same thing.

You're right about keeping on, but I often feel as though I'm interjecting in a conversation where I'm not wanted, or talking to myself; my gemini MC wants to talk to anybody, everybody and spark new friendships like in real life, but it's not like that online. Lol

Oh, By private group, I mean in H&H they have group threads that people write in.

Girl (?), don't be afraid to interject. If a thread was not for commentary, it would not be on here! So, just take a dive and get your feet wet!

For example, I recently resurrected a thread about Sun-Uranus aspects from 2013. Though I didn't think it was an interesting topic, a number of people had stuff to share/input - even if it was not in response to what I said!

I would strongly encourage you to research alongside the topics that you post, and also to ask others how they do certain things or interpret certain things. It helps to get you started and when you know a little bit more about a subject matter, people are more willing to engage with you because they can see that you've done your homework.

For example, you are a Gemini MC. Isn't it always alot better when you speak to someone who has ALOT to say, or someone who is more knowledgeable than you about a particular issue? I assume you will say yes (I am a Gemini Sun btw). If that is the case, you know that you need to show an informed interest in their area of expertise to get a rapport started and that's similar to what you have to do on here.

Just keep rolling on hun, and don't take the 0 replies to heart. Also, it's worth remembering that people on here are living in different times zones and therefore, sometimes the moderators/experts/top posters may be asleep at work etc or just unavailable. Example: I had an email exchange with someone (from LL) when it was 3AM in London, but 8AM for them.

Thank you Ikja for talking to me. I know that sounds lame, but I will definitely try not to be so sensitive about it(progressed Moon in Cancer lol), and just engage.

btw, I'm a Gemini Sun/MC too!! plus, I went to school in London in 2011.

Lol... I opened this thread to try to answer the question and then I got this long series of totally non-horary-related posts to read, most of which I skipped through. Basically, I experienced exactly what you were complaining about - the rants, etc... How's that for irony...

But, yes, we ALL get zero answers on posts all the time... why are you taking it personally? Here's a goal for you. Give yourself a number of posts that you need to reply to before you ask a question (for example, answer 10 questions before you ask one for yourself) and see how that goes.

If it's a horary question, you can show you interest in learning horary by trying to answer the question you post yourself and ask others to let you know where you may have gone wrong or to give a second opinion. People are much more responsive to people who make an effort.

If you're asking a horary question, try to make it a proper chart to get the maximum number of readers. Many people post charts in Placidus or Whole House rather than Regiomontanus, and that will cause many people to skip answering you because only certain people read Placidus with horary. I'm pretty sure everyone reads Regiomontanus if they do horary.

A guide if you need it:

Thanks for your response. It's not so much no responses, but rather the attitudes of people within the forum There are cliques here, people who are argumentative, and based on observation, people don't like each other(people are unregistrered) that's discouraging.

LP, where will you move it to?

I think the content of this thread is actually rather useful.
I also think that many people can learn from it, given the views expressed.

There are people in this particular forum who want to learn more and/or feel like they need further help and I think advice should be given (as it would be in any of the other forums). If this thread makes that issue or problem clearer or brings it to the fore, so be it. I mean, it's taken approx. 7 days for someone other than me (a newbie) to chime in and provide support here. That's ABIT disheartening.

I do not think it needs to be hidden, dismissed or pushed to the side. Rather, support and advice given, especially by moderators (please read neutrally). People who are well liked/respected in the horary forum.
