Ok I'm making quite a fool of myself posting all over the place.. 2 nite is my 1st nite being able to post after reading what you all have been saying, ever since I first saw this site over a week ago; I have been sitting with my eyes glued to this screen (they're practically held open with tooth picks @ this point.) I promise I have just gone post-crazy in many different topics, for fear that I won't be seen (I promise this won't happen agian.) Well please allow me to explain; when I first navigated here to this site, I had no idea that there were people out there who knew of Linda Goodman other than myself.
You see, after beginning to read "Star Signs" I began to recommend it to others (which was not a good experience for me.) b/c any knowledge that I chose to share with my coworkers, and even family, was laughed at!! Yes, laughed at. It hurt my feelings, not b/c they thought that I was goofy, just that the people that I was surrounded by couldn't open their minds up to anything or anyone. At the time, I admit I was a bit skeptical (but, also hopeful that the things in the book would have merit and be valid in my every day life.)and the funny thing about this subject is, the further that you research things like astrology and numerology, and the $ Mystique, the more that it becomes impossible to deny!
I had always been interested in my "Horoscope" which of course was only daily "sun sign" reading, until I discovered "Astrology for the Millions," and
began to see that it was pretty undeniable. The people around me at the time would humor me I now realize by letting me try and learn to cast charts & read to them their natal interpretation out of Astrology for the Millions; what I had read to them from the book was always pretty dead on so, I had no reason to think that when I discovered Star Signs, I would begin to be looked at like a "witch." YES! A witch..
Now I'm sure that all of you are wondering 'just exactly what rock did this girl crawl out from under??' But, I promise that the majority of people out there could not appreciate the wisdom that all of the people in this lovely group get together and ponder on 24 hrs. a day. I just want to say that all of you are gems and that it takes special people to be as open-minded and respectful as you all. I am proud to finally get to discuss something with people that understand more than me on the subjects that I am so interested in, instead of trying to defend things that I may or may not have beleived in at the time in the face of ridicule.

I also have to admit that I haven't even scratched the surface on understanding near as much as I would like to about the things that Ms. Linda has written but I have gained tremendous insight by reading the posts of you all. And I just want to say that I could feel the exitement whenever I read the reply of BiBi De Angelo, when she first chose to answer the ? "Has anyone heard of BiBi De Angelo?" What a great story that was to read! An actual girlfriend of Linda's, I just have to say, (if you read this) BiBi its an honor for me to just get to read the dialogue of those that are also fans of Ms. Linda; I never expected that my curiousity and amazement of Linda-Land fans that I would ever get to read a personal story about Ms. Linda; I just think that there are such good people on here, and you BeBe are definately among them for being so gracious to share that wonderful personal story.

It was my goal to create a haven of sorts where Linda's fans could gather and not face ridicule. Glad you joined us!

Hope everyone here had a great Easter Holiday and if you celebrate any other Holiday at this time too...

Randall... I think we would all agree you've done a great service to create and maintain this "haven for Linda" and all her incredible insights... for all likeness-of-minded folk to enjoy and SHARE... it's so wonderful to read new sources... new information... new insights... the Sharing of information that goes on in this site is marvelous!

Welcome JWonderer... this site must be like an Oasis for you to have found. I feel the same way...

I believe other members will agree... you won't be laughed at here for your beliefs. You've found a beautiful family of "open minded" people here... and a large percentage of members not only talk the talk... they walk the WALK (if you know what I mean!).

You're not the only one who has experienced the feeling of being "looked at like your a witch"... I've even been told that people thought astrology was the devils work... and what can you say... everyone is at their own level... chooses their own belief systems...

Hopefully you won't let what others say take you from your own truth... because there can always be someone who wants to make your beliefs and truth wrong... mostly because it feeds their ego and identity... Eckhart Tolle's new book "A New Earth" has 2 really great chapters in it regarding this... in case you haven't read them yet.

I remember having breakfast with Linda one morning at the Roosevelt Hotel and a lady approached our table and she was "fiery mad" at Linda's belief systems regarding numerology! Instead of believing that Linda's belief was different than her's... this lady went on the attack... justifying her belief system and attempting to make Linda's belief system appear wrong. Linda just sat there listening to his lady who got louder and louder as Linda stayed calm! Linda's face remained calm, her energy patterns remained calm, Linda's Aires temper remained calm throughout this "justification" the lady felt compelled to share. Then all of a sudden the lady said: "Well, I thought you should know the truth!" and abruptly took off. Now... the big question is... whose truth? Linda felt completely passionate about her belief and it's accuracy, and obviously this other lady felt the same. So, at the end of the day everyone has the free will choice to decide their own truth.

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed all the information that was shared on this Linda Life Section.

Everyone!

That name reminds me of a super hero. Its wonderful that you "Discovered" Star Signs, its the book to have in my opinion. I find that "THOSE" that look at you in a strange way, the truth is they are not sure if they are the strange ones. They're wondering how did you find these "secrets" and they didn't, how did you figure them out, why do they seem to attach to you so easily? From this comes resentment, jealousy, anger, fear (Good Ole Yoda!) adn with those things, others will always try to humiliate you because they just can't get it, so why should you...right? Right!

So stay on your path kiddo, because even here, there are those that don't get it, but they sense it and try, your lucky to understand it in its full content!

Hi Jwonderer!

I can relate!
I get teh same look whether I talk, astrology, tarot, ufo's, David Icke, Rudolph Steiner or Linda Goodman but think of Mona Lisa's smile and think just how muc more knowledge and insight you have which they are afraid to embrace, But they will in time I'm sure.

Hello JWonderer!

Yes I get looks too from people who know me. I have a whole new look in life thanks to Linda's books. I truely believe that I was meant to find this path. It's lead me to such wonderful spiritual beginings. I say beginings because I consider myself a student with a lot to learn.
But to people who know me best like my family.. my mom gives me odd looks when I start talking about Linda's books and how I've found spirituality as a result. I get the "yeah she's lost it" look along with the fixed smile and faint nodding of the head as I talk lol.
But that's okay.. I'm happy with it and I'm not changing.
I'm sorry that you went thru something that kept you away, but glad you are back!!

I am so glad to know that I am not alone. You know, in some areas, or in some circle s, different beleifs are accepted and even encouraged.. its not that our beleifs are so strange.. once you learn astrology, numerology, lexigrams and other such things, it becomes impossible to deny them. You know? Like the story that BiBi cites, some woman claiming that astrology is the work of the devil is outragous! "The wise men in the bible, what were they?" Linda possibly could have said.. but I'm sure that she knew that some people are afraid of the truth... Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!

It is a shame that certain people aren't open minded to astrology, however, they are allowed their own free will choices & we must honor their choices.

I've heard the following statements over the years:
1. Our religion doesn't allow us to hear this... it's against our religion.
2. You don't believe in that sh*t -- do you!
3. If my family knew I was being guided by this stuff (astrology) they'd think I was crazy.
4. I can't have anyone know I"m utilizing this (astrology) to make my career decisions -- they might not understand.
5. I"m going to keep you secret -- you're my secret weapon in my work.

However, then you experience the more open minded clients:
1. clients that are over joyed to be getting insight and clarity that they other wise may not have an insight to,
2. clients come to you with a need to be confirmed. The session confirms their own intuition and then provides them the strength and courage to enact certain decisions,
3. clients hear the behavior patterns they are choosing each and every day that don't serve them and you inform them that if those behavioral patterns don't change there is a huge potential that by a certain date these choices will bring them a huge challenge,
4. clients come and think they are loosing their minds -- ready to commit suicide -- and then are educated that they are going through a very tough cycle and that cycle is on its way out of their life, and give them a focus of understanding as to what that particular cycle was to teach them -- over come -- etc. The relief that information provides is incredibly healing. (Over the years, I've had several clients on suicide watch and working with their physicians has been very rewarding.) Obtaining deeper insight into the cycles allows them to take them self from victim energy to a healing and releasing energy.
5. clients who have experienced brutal events and you can put their chart together with the person who betrayed them, raped them, stabbed them, (etc) and they obtain a complete understanding of what their soul and the other soul were to teach each other -- balance old karma -- etc.

Life is about the polarities -- and astrology is just one more of the polarities here on earth. Meaning, some believe and see it's incredible accuracy and assistance. Others, well they have certain belief systems in tact that just don't allow them to even listen to the information. So, I just rejoice when a soul sees and believes the incredible benefit of seeking the insight that this Science can provide.

JWonderer.. you said

quote:
Linda possibly could have said.. but I'm sure that she knew that some people are afraid of the truth...

YES! And my family is just like that. They are comfortable in their daily walks and anything that steps outside the lines is plain crazy or something.
For me it's exciting. It's like I've found my path...if that makes sense. The eager student wanting to learn more!

And BiBi.. I've had instances especially lately where I was scammed by a Nigerian scammer for a lot of money (long story). But the experience left me feeling the lowest I've felt in years. And I don't know a lot about astrology, but one of the things I thought of is that this is probably just a bad cycle I'm going thru and hopefully it will pass soon. So hopefully this bad time in my life is on it's way OUTTA HERE! lol.

Crimson, I am sorry about the bad time you are going through. . you can be for sure.. its probably in your chart somewhere, and if you had a reading you may be able to affirm that it is clearing soon! I too have been going through a foggy time for more than half of this year, so I am considering getting my chart done professionally, just to clear things up you know? I can do charts, to a point, but transits and such.. I'm clueless. so, I'm hoping to get my chart done soon. Only problem is I wish I could get it done in person with someone but in rural NC i don't think that's gonna happen, and to me those internet charts are too impersonal. I just hope to find someone soon I've been wanting one for years..

If you want to see about posting something in the reading request forum, there are a lot of wonderful talented people on this site and someone here could possibly help with a chart reading. Or maybe in the astrology forum even.
I know there's someone here who is fantastic at that and her handle on here is Geocosmic Valentine.
Take care!
