1) Which sign do you think is most liable to commit suicide? Virgo

2) Which element? earth

3) Which modality? mutable

4) Which zodiac axis? Pisces-Virgo

I have to admit I saw that thread so I kinda already know the answer to at least one of the questions (1).
That was my gut feeling, I don't know whether it's Virgo or not. Haven't compiled all numbers yet so you can guess.

I don't think suicide can be attributed to a sign. Astrology is entirely surface based. Internally our emotions and mental state cannot coincide with astrology, maybe a behavior yes but internally we humans are entirely too complex and changing for it to be associated with astrology. Internal mental health is effected by so many factors...astrology couldn't begin to tip the iceberg of how deep things can go.

Suicide is deep, dark, lonely and internally harsh. It comes from a place that is inhuman. It leaves you without any hope and strips you of your dignity to survive and continue on.

If suicide could be attributed to a sign, element, modality or zodiac axis....then psychotherapists are using all the wrong tools to analyze their patients and should all just be picking up "He's just not in the stars" book and doing chart readings for their patients.

Seriously
Mindblowing.

Alas, we're on the Astrology board.

Well honestly. Use some of that common sense and "social givens" you're always bragging about having you old "owl" and don't ask questions you know are emotionally void of the true concept of the question you are asking.

Instead of trying to attribute questions about suicide to astrology maybe ask questions about suicide that are more human than being emotionally detached by associating it with an axis in astrology.

Seems moronic.

What seems and what is..worlds apart.

Point is, you're better off posting the same spiel about how Astrology doesn't apply to anything on all Astrology topics. Because...it should be common knowledge but if you feel the need to emphasize it..by all means, go down the broken record path.

In the meantime try to grow up.

Laters.

I'll edit this post with pie charts later but until then...

1) Which sign do you think is most liable to commit suicide?

2) Which element?

3) Which modality?

4) Which zodiac axis?
Might want to generate a statistic based on who self deletes from DXP the most.

It would have about as much scientific validity.

I'm not applying for a peer reviewed scientific publication man.

Also who deletes from DXP is rather boring.

I just want to see if some stereotypes hold water or not.

Well, if you can find out the predominant sign that calls Scorpiofish's hotline, you could get off to a good start.

Although I doubt astrology is the factor in that case....

Keep in mind that most people are Virgos so that can skew your data if you're not careful

Yeah, Virgo and Libra.

Saying the reason they are who they are is because they are fated to be this way...
No, that is YOUR assumption and not what I am saying.

What I am saying is...I have this list of people and I want to divide it by signs/modalities/elements.

It's same as pretty much every topic ...or is it not damaging to Geminis to have people apply the cheater stereotype to them?

Try to keep a grasp on rationality. There is no hidden message here, nor is it a worldwide statistic, nor any conclusions to be drawn.

But by all means, keep on typing novels of projection about what I'm actually doing. Your feelings are your own to deal with so..sorry but not sorry.

Look at it in a broader view. I'll put it down plainly. Astrology cannot be associated with suicide. A human mind goes deeper and darker than generic astrology can pinpoint. There's no way to understand someones conditions for committing suicide, these are deep and internally dark emotions that astrology cannot go near. If so then a psychotherapist would be out of a job.

Chalking up suicide to a fucking astro placement is such a heartless condescending way to try and grasp suicide. It's so detached that I felt compelled to point it out.

You are so emotionally void and disturbing.

Nah, she's a Pisces moon. I just know where she's coming from with this, it has nothing to do with the topic itself and it's way too transparent to me.

And there are several Leo Moons I like, the ones I dislike are in the minority.

One can post whatever one desires.

A lot of things are sad in life. If you want to avoid topics such as this since you're easily disturbed or offended, then perhaps it's better that you not click on it.


that would involve having accountability for your own actions.

can't have that with the pisces moon pity party parade.


I like Pisces moon... but now I think they're too sensitive.

But didn't you say that people could post whatever they desire?

To me it's pretty normal that there's a clash of opinions on a topic like this.

I believe there's a correlation between MBTI personality types and astrology and that people physically and vibrationally remind of the archetype of their Ascendant sign. Consequently, I wouldn't exclude death from the picture. Since astrology has to do with ones' personality, past and predictions about one's future, I personally think it is logical to look for suicidal propensity in a "Natal, transits and progressions combined" chart. Only.

I think I'm following a similar pathway, trying to combine MBTI, natal, vedic, draconic etc... with an experience-based approach. Personally I find looking at astrology that way a lot more stimulating: there's more data to stockpile and patterns to be noticed.

I'm not that interested in getting too knowledgeable about any of them, but more interested in finding a logical and pragmatical use to what intuitively feels right to me.

I don't think suicide can be attributed to a sign. Astrology is entirely surface based. Internally our emotions and mental state cannot coincide with astrology, maybe a behavior yes but internally we humans are entirely too complex and changing for it to be associated with astrology. Internal mental health is effected by so many factors...astrology couldn't begin to tip the iceberg of how deep things can go.

Suicide is deep, dark, lonely and internally harsh. It comes from a place that is inhuman. It leaves you without any hope and strips you of your dignity to survive and continue on.

If suicide could be attributed to a sign, element, modality or zodiac axis....then psychotherapists are using all the wrong tools to analyze their patients and should all just be picking up "He's just not in the stars" book and doing chart readings for their patients.

Seriously
Well, maybe your understating of astrology is entirely surface based. Cause there is also such thing as - in depth astrology. Astrology is not about the Sun sign alone (a common subject in most topics from DXP - in case you used those as reference - something that might also reflect your knowledge of astrology - since you put it like that).

So, never mind that (astrology). I can approach this subject on different grounds be it - psychology, spirituality, philosophy or history (actual evidence).

For start, what you described above - as suicide, has more to do with depression. There's plenty of people - who went through that type of depression and didn't kill themselves.

Carl Jung - for example, a true pioneer in the field of astrology (the father of analytical psychology), he dabbled with deep states of depression for many years. Though, in his case, those dark times - proved to be the pillars of his legacy. As depicted in one of his writings (The red book):

“The years, of which I have spoken to you, when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.”

His approach, is also - quite spiritual in nature.

And then there's - Abraham Lincoln. Another important historical figure - who fought with clinical states of depression for most of his life and yet, not only that he didn't end his life - but he paved the way to a brighter future for others.

---

Suicide is not always the result of depression. Believe it or not, it's a part of a defensive mechanism (the ultimate defensive mechanism - as i like to call it). And sometimes... there's no depth to it, or loneliness, there might be darkness and partial internal harshness (a deep state of fear or an inability to cope with a given situation) - that's derived from external factors. As history goes to prove:

http://www.weirdlyodd.com/the-most-terrifying-mass-suicides-in-the-history-of-mankind/

Again, what you described above is called Depression. It's true that - a deep state of depression, where one lingers though deep states of darkness (since even the chemistry of the brain can change on a physical level - which makes one more prone to such states) - can imply suicidal thoughts, though... fortunately, most people manage to avoid the actual outcome.

I believe there's a correlation between MBTI personality types and astrology and that people physically and vibrationally remind of the archetype of their Ascendant sign. Consequently, I wouldn't exclude death from the picture. Since astrology has to do with ones' personality, past and predictions about one's future, I personally think it is logical to look for suicidal propensity in a "Natal, transits and progressions combined" chart. Only.
I think I'm following a similar pathway, trying to combine MBTI, natal, vedic, draconic etc... with an experience-based approach. Personally I find looking at astrology that way a lot more stimulating: there's more data to stockpile and patterns to be noticed.

I'm not that interested in getting too knowledgeable about any of them, but more interested in finding a logical and pragmatical use to what intuitively feels right to me.

Yeaah, esattamente :p I think I know what you mean, looking for pragmatic counterparts to our instincts. And isn't it truly satisfactory when another piece of the puzzle fits...for my Pisces Mercury it certainly is.

This thread was just really bizarre and awkward to read....

Lots of random and very personal beef being slung around for 10 whole pages.

😆

What is with you guys??

Am I the only one who read this whole thing and thought "wtf?"
It would be genius if damnata set up this whole thread just to get a flippant rouse out of everyone while analyzing and recording everyone's responses just for her own benefit to satisfy her data gathering craving. Right now i'm sure my name has a percentage next to it on a excel spread sheet.

Well what was supposed to be a thread not too unlike any of the others on this astrology site, turned into some kind of a gorilla gang showdown with everyone beating their chests, like some kind of zoo.

I personally don't see how this thread was any more stupid than the shit-starter threads in Misc board, or hollyhocks "which transit is destroying my life now" threads.

What was different about this thread is the word flippant was used.

I don't think there can ever be enough suicide awareness, in whatever medium it comes in.


I believe more awareness should be brought to those who know or live or love or related to those who are suicidal, especially those who have lost a loved one to suicide. Everywhere there is simply a lack of support for those behind the scenes who suffer, the wide impact in which the suicidal one causes, the damages done and catastrophe left behind. The pain, the anger, the disillusionment, the isolation, etc ...

I can't even begin to fathom the way that that kind of tragedy can touch someone's life or family. I mean even when I start to try I just get overwhelmed with sadness and deep loss.

Most of the time I shield myself from even going here. It's too much. It makes me want to give up everything and live for a cause.

Those people the world over, live like a ghost population, ghost statistics, completely forgotten and they truly need support or at least awareness on the impacts of suicide. Sometimes they are shunned and rejected from society, they really have no standing in many places. They did no wrong yet why are they the ones that are cast in the shadows.
