Astrology doesn’t seem to be helping me (Page 4)
You are on page out of 4 | Reverse Order
The truth is
Astrology isn't helping you find a partner.
So then you decide you need to look at different placements or whatever.
Eventually you find a partner
Then you say "AHH that's why it wasn't working, because I wasn't looking at Venus conjunct Jupiter" or whatever the fuck random shit coincides with you finding someone. Then you make up some pattern with hindsight which like I said is worthless since we'd all be Billionaire traders if we could do that

Synastry is way too complex to use it as a predictive tool. It does work sometimes. But there are also other factors, like this girl was from a big city and I’m from a small town. So for a big city girl she was very compassionate and kind, but she was way too cunning for me.
Astrology is undisprovable? anecdotally
You're making up stuff about 1 person and giving anecdotal evidence (my mum was a Libra and she was like this)
Scientifically, it has been disproven many times where possible and inversely not proven to be anymore accurate than randomness in the situations where it can't be directly disproved (since a lot of it is subjective and vague)

No, it’s a very coherent and consistent. It’s not a gigantic influence, but it’s there. I saw the way scientists analyse astrology, they don’t look into it at all. They don’t listen. They don’t study it. Just like you don’t.
Also, why are you on an astrology site if you don’t believe in it?

Recently, I got the full chart, she was very nice and nurturing, a triple cancer with moon on the rising. I thought perfect. This is the kind of nurturing person I’m looking for.Are you a big baby?

Oh I should’ve told you, the reason I look for a nurturing woman is because I’m a cancer rising and Jupiter and moon in the seventh.
What day were you guys born on ? the numbers matter as well

I don't believe in it but sometimes it's fun. Also, like I said we can't help but find patterns in things so I 'm not immune to thinking of people as Virgos etc but I don't think it causes any harm
Why would I spend time studying something I'm not interested in studying and has no evidence except anecdotal that it has any worth?

Because that’s the normal thing to do, astrology is a science, and you should study it. You spend this much time talking about it but you never actually study it? You’re mentally challenged, aren’t you?

Good on paper doesn't mean always good, especially if you're only partly reading it (which I'm pretty sure you are). You need to get a full reading on someone to really understand how they are. And just placements alone don't give as nearly as good picture. I find aspects to be much more telling about the person, than placements themselves are. Poorly aspected vs well aspected same placement will have way different outcome. A person who's Moon makes squares compared to the one who's makes trines to their Sun or Venus are going to be very different, even if Moon is in same sign, even house.And also, use astrology as a tool to better understand someone, not to create an image of them without getting to know them.
Also, looks like that woman did you both a favor by not entertaining something that leads nowhere. And while I do agree, not all loves start with attraction at first glance (I've experienced this just now for the first time, at 38 yo) and they can develop over time, it's less likely to happen if neither side is interested in further entertaining of that kind of relationship. Imo such loves can only happen if two people are brought together by other circumstances - either they are part of the same social group, work place etc. if you don't have shared daily activities it's not likely to develop over time and just going out to see if it will, seems like forcing it too much
I did look at all of it. Why would you assume the contrary why do you assume the worst of people? Better understand./create an image are the same thing! You want to give a lesson but you have nothing to teach😂
She didn’t do us both a favour, that’s such an American way of thinking, you invent millions of reasons why people shouldn’t be in a relationship, and you loooooove telling other people that. It’s like your favourite thing.
Internet dating is a big thing nowadays, a loooot of people meet that way. Again, you’re trying to teach that you have nothing to teach.

click to expand1. Because you need a quality understanding of astrology and you literally just named a few placements - so my comment is based on what you wrote. I don't assume anything, I read what is written and comment on that.
2. I'm not american / have no idea what american way of thinking is
3. Clearly you're hurt from rejection and you're frustrated at anyone who tries to explain to you why it was in fact good for you both
4. I'm not teaching you anything, I'm explaining things in more clear way that clearly lands on deaf ears and wastes my time so I'm not going to waste a second of it any more.
Good luck.

I mentioned the really good points we had. Doesn’t mean I didn’t look at the rest.
You probably spend a lot of time on social media and so you met a lot of Americans and so you started an American way of thinking. It’s really primitive.
I’m not hurt at all. I’m just saying there’s no reason it shouldn’t have worked.
And like I demonstrated your advice is garbage. I understand why you’re running with your tail between your legs. I shoved your bullshit back at you. I don’t suffer fools and I don’t take any shit from them. Run forest run!!😂

Couple things:
1. Kudos to you for trying to find love despite that you’re unable to have penetrative sex and self-aware that your pool will be diminutive.
2. There are chat rooms / Reddit pages where asexual/sapiosexual folks get together. These people seek to establish mental or emotional connection first before jumping in bed. Sex isn’t everything to these people, so long as the personality matches and you can offer other means of pleasuring your partner like oral sex.
3. Most importantly, stop playing penpals. Virtual connection doesn’t necessarily lead to nor translate to physical attraction. I met my share of insecure dudes who used dilatory tactics to avoid meeting me right away, so I didn’t reject them if there was no chemistry in real life. They wanted to tie me emotionally to them. Utter waste of time for everyone involved because I still rejected them when I met them in real life and found no chemistry with them or they lied about various things. Talk for 3-4 days and then meet the person.
Astrology is very deep my moon mercury and mars are in water but I hardly ever get along with water signs or earth signs with the exception of Virgos. I normally click with fire signs, geminis and Aquarius.
However my venus is in Aries even tho it’s retrograde I also pay attention to the day a person is born for example even tho I’m compatible with a Gemini if that person is born on 2nd 4th 8th 11th 13th or 17th then it won’t matter their sign because those numbers aren’t compatible with mine, Aspects also play a part but they have to be attracted to you first.
I don’t know how much you’re into it but if you need more info then l can be happy to elaborate or if you wanna know which sign you’ll attract just based on ya bday let me know.

Again you’re just thinking of things that could disprove astrology and not actually studying things. This is a one-sided conversation. I’m carrying you and it’s tiring.
