Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
I'ld give you my interpretation of what astrolgy is and represents but I don't have the time to fit it into these little posts. It is way more complex than the average person can wrap their head around.

Hint: Think of it as a multilevel(multidimensional) system of symbols representing a person's growth from birth on through to old age. This can apply to countries, cultures and tribes and many sentient beings that progress through cycles of time. It depicts potentials, likely trends and events and cycles... basically the ebb and flow of life's events.

Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
Ladies & Gentlemen:
I didn't ask for an OPINION of
Astrology, I asked What Is
Astrology?
 Quoting: PsychicWitch


Ok. Astrology is a business where scammers pretend to be able to tell someone what is going to happen to them (for a fee) based on arbitrary "interpretations" attributed to irrelevant cosmic alignments and postitions.

Better?
Reality is interesting enough.

Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
Will you tell me what you think about this? My son has Pluto in the sixth squaring 5 planets within 8 degress of his midheaven and also squaring the moon conjunct his descendant. He's a very unique young man. You're thoughts, please?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 139050


There is no way any planet in the 6th house can square any planet conjunct the descendant.

Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
I have an IQ of 131, and have been a serious student of astrology since 1978, and have never taken a dime for my work, but can tell you without hesitation that it absolutely works.

But the shit ain't easy to learn, and most of the lazy ass fools in this culture don't bother to pay their dues before trying to represent the tradition.

Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
A Reason to NOT get up in the AM or NOT LIVE Your life fully... out of FEAR.

Astrology is FEAR BASED mental control.

Really, who has ever truly PREDICTED...Astrology is ok AFTER ALL IS SAID and DONE... but does NOT tell you Who What When and Where during any event.

I once knew an Astrologer who would not LIVE her life... Void of course Moon... or Mercury Retrograde...

Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
to me, its fun. Its something interesting, but Ive never really gotten into the whole 'science' of it, if you can call it that.

I like to mess around with Tarot cards, and I do pretty well with them most times. It's all about attitude towards stuff like this, and what you want from it. Ive never charged for my readings, and only do them for close friends and family. It's just a guide for them. It's up to them to choose whatever course they take.

The way I see it, its one of those'lost in the translation' kind of things. Let yourself go, and the translation is more accurate.

that goes for translating your dreams too. YOU can translate them best. Trust yourself.

Astrology does not negate free will,
or guarantee success or prophesize faiure,
but it sure does shed alot of insight into the workings of life hf
 Quoting: BlueDolphin


That's key right there, and I think a lot of people misunderstand that.

I recommend whole heartedly that everyone have a natal chart prepared. It really helped me with a sense of direction.

A lot of people have hidden talents they aren't aware of because they were never exposed to that field, discipline, or career/job.

I was 27 or 28 when I had my natal chart done. It just blew me away. This guy didn't know me from Adam, and he was like, "Oh, I see you just returned to the US in April, you lived outside the US for last 8 years, where were you? What happened on this date? What happened on that date? It was really weird.

As always when selecting a doctor or buying furniture or something, do your research and be careful and select an astrologer that's highly regarded. Just like there are chiropractors and quacktopractors, there are some not too good astrologers, too.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 97470


Well, I would agree that psychics certainly blew it.

But, you obviously don't understand astrology.

As an example, I have absolutely no way of knowing if you will have diarrhea of the mouth, unless you come to me and ask, "Will I have diarrhea of the mouth?"

Once you ask me, then I can look at your chart, well, not me, I really suck at predictions, but someone better educated and experienced can look at your chart and say yes, it's possible you might have a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth during this time period.

Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
Astrology is relationships between archetypal energy patterns making a gestalt that indicates prevailing tendencies of influence. This gestalt can be overridden by the indwelling Spirit, thus the more free one is, the less they may be held to the 'birth chart'.

but see, that makes me wonder about the Mayans..I wonder why they stressed so much importance on one's birth date. By looking at their calendar, it'd be hard to dismiss them completely.

Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
Thank you for the information, PsychicWitch. My son has 10th house Pieces and sun sign. It will be fun watching the effects Pluto will have on his life!

Oh, and Peter, you're wrong. It is very possible to have a sixth house planet square the IC if you're not using an equal house system.

His moon is exactly conjunct his IC at 1 degree Virgo squaring his sixth house Pluto at 28 degrees Scorpio.

Pluto went direct yesterday @25 degrees Sag which is the point of the galactic center. Other aspects right now are Sun opposite Uranus and Saturn opposite Neptune.

Re: WHAT IS ASTROLOGY?
It is the study of synchronicity
between what happens on Earth and what
happens in our solar system.
Planets millions of miles away don't
influence us at all,they only indicate.
And through the ages this art of comparing the movement of planets through the starsigns,to personal and
global changes grew into what is called
astrology...

It doesn't. Planets as well as asteroids are figured in astrological charts. PLease remember this science is thousands of years old, so why should the word of a few dumb scientists mean anything?

labels man made. I dont think the conscious enery of creation cares much for our labels. hehe
