I think we are laying to much emphasis on someone's star sign, rather then realising that men's brains work the same way, regardless of their placements ect. If we didn't look at their star sign and a guy wasn't replying to your texts or returning your calls then you'd just assume they weren't interested. But then you come here and they tell you that Blah blah sign goes into retreat and gives you silence because they need to assess their feelings and make sure that you really like them. So then there is encouragement to chase them, let them know you like them, "Reassure" as it seems everyone says. But if you google any sign with the question "Why is blah blah man ignoring me" threads will come up, every single damn sign, with the same advise. These men are not assessing their feelings for you because "apparently" they like you and are scared you might hurt them...THEY ARE IGNORING YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED! And by you constantly sending them that "reassuring" text to let them know you are still there, waiting for them when they are ready, you just come across as clingy and not getting the hint. As far as I am concerned, if A guy doesn't make you his girlfriend or tries to form some kind of exclusiveness within 3 months of your first date, then it's never going to happen. You know why? Because at the end of the day we are but animals, and like male dogs pissing on anything and everything to mark their territory, if a guy liked you then he wouldn't want anyone else to have you, therefor he would make you his. The fact that he doesn't, goes to show that he isn't frightened by the prospect of losing you.

I am sick to death of reading some of these stories. Some of you have waited hand on foot for people for 5+ years, still on here seeking advise and being told to "stick it out, they need to know you are in it for the long run"...5 years, 5 YEARS! and they still need to know you are in it for the long run??

How about this...grow some self respect, realise that we are only given one chance at this thing we call life and stop wasting your time on someone who clearly doesn't value you enough to be frightened by the prospect of losing you.

haha DMV I don't have a story to share, maybe that makes me even more pathetic then these people who do have unhappy stories to share. I've always believed that the only person that holds your happiness is yourself. I can't grasp the concept of people allowing others to bring them such misery and turmoil. If the person, guy or girl, only hurts you then why would anyone choose to put up with that? Walk away, learn to love yourself and remember that there are over 7 billion people in this world...everyone is replaceable!

Ramunctious78 - I think we get so caught up in the world that we create in our mind that we lose ourselves in the real world. We are such fickle creatures, so much time on our hands to over analyse things and wonder what it would be like, how happy we could make each other, that we forget that person isn't making us happy at all. This girl you speak of, I garuntee if given the proper chance to pursue, would be nothing like you expected, you probably wouldn't even like her and you'd be disappointed in the end. Why? Because you've built an expectation in your mind, one she probably can't live up to. We are so busy trying to find the one we think we will click with, that we usually don't even take notice of the ones we already click with. I think 7 years is well too long to spend on someone and I suggest that you let her go. Keep in mind that we regret the things in life we didn't do as apposed to the things we did do. So Don't regret that you spent so much time on someone who clearly isn't for you. Instead, start living, so you don't regret never allowing yourself to move on!!

The best advise I can give is to be content with only having yourself. You came into this world on your own so why must everyone feel that they need someone else to complete them? The sooner you find happiness in yourself, the sooner you find happiness in your life...finding someone else to share that happiness with is just an added bonus!

I think astrology is useless when a person looks at it in terms of black & white. There is a lot of grey area. We have to realize that all the traits that are expected of each sign should be more considered as a tendency.. it's *possible* that the person will have that trait, likely even, but never an absolute. And it gets far more complicated. There are houses to consider, placements not only in the signs, but in the houses themselves. And then there are aspects to top it all off.

May I ask Vixen, how long have you been interested in astrology? Like really studying it?

I just dont understand how people say astrology is BS, yet theyre on an astrology board and have their astro sign in their username.

I d k



IT's just trolling... typical Scorpio trolling lol... but other earth,water,libra signs do this trolling too

and even bored fire,airs

It all depends really

You should understand it you do this [maybe not in the exact way for this specifically] but you do it subconsciously [ Scorpio moon ]


I have a Kawaii Leo friend that's a girl and she does it too LOL

she'll be all "Astrology is bs" ... Then list on her profile "LEO"

like... hahhhhhhaaaaaaaaa... it's funny when you think about it


Could be a hidden reason idk

I'm personally going to start doing that too for reasons I won't say xD


but it's not bs if you want to know the truth btw


Also there is a 5th element [outside of your basic fire,air,water,earth ] that's spirit or consciousness

which is why a full earth person can become the least materialistic person and most extroverted

Otherwise a heavy earth person would be very introverted,cautious,materialistic, fixed, rigid, practical, one view focused

@DMV - I believe that there are certain parts of our personality traits that do match up with astrology, so therefor it intrigues me, but I don't believe that people shou??d be solely relying on someone's star sign for advise as to how to handle someone when it comes to romance. It just surprises me how many stories I've read where people seem clueless to the basic signs that someone's just not that into them. And they're clueless because they think that silent treatment, someone being rude to them etc is because that is how that particular star sign handles their "feelings".

@AqMercuryCazimi - how is it trolling when I'm simply trying to tell people that they have to have some self respect?

@duchesslibro - Astrology interests me but I'm not an avid believer and don't solely rely on it for advise. I think people come here because they want hope that something can come of the feelings they hold for another person. In the real world, and not cyber world, their friends would be straight and tell them "they aren't interested, move on" but here people tell them to "stick it out" or "oh they like you, they're just assessing their feelings". It's just false hope that seems to string people along longer then necessary rather then allowing a person to move on and find happiness.

&FrostandBite - I totally agree with you. People don't come here to tell their happy stories, just the failed ones or ones they are needing a bit of help with. You have people who come for advise and their thread survives a couple of days before that person goes dormant. These people either got through the struggles or decided that the person isn't interested and moved on...cudos to you! Then you have others who have numerous threads, about the same person, for weeks, months, shit even years and they still haven't told themselves enough is enough. These are the people the thread was directed at. People who genuinly like you, don't leave you hanging around like an option for so long, because they want to be with you but it just takes them a while to open up. When have any of you seriously made someone you truely wanted to be with, wait for you because you don't know how to handle your feelings? That is what is total BS about this astrology thing, not astrology as a whole!!

She's just going to extremes in the title of the thread (its all COMPLETE BS), but then when you read on, its just a matter of emphasis for her. She has a point; she's just wording it with absolute language that actually winds up misrepresenting how she actually feels. There are also exceptions to these "basic" signs that supposedly indicate that someone is not into you. I for one have definitely ran from and avoided women I had very intense feelings for.

@Infinite8 - I'm not really wondering about it, I have always felt that way. I've always had friends who say "why is this guy/girl being like this, if they weren't interested then they should just tell me" and even I am guilty of doing this. Truth is in most cases they are, it's just not with words, it's through actions.

I do believe in Astrology to a certain degree, I think that it depicts certain qualities about a person and personality traits. But then other factors in their life, such as how they were raised, past relationship experiences etc determine how they behave. I think it's silly to determine that someone's behaviour is based on their star sign and that it is normal for them to behave in such a way, fill your head with BS that they do in fact like you but this is standard for a blah blah star sign to act this way and then continue to pursue them because they "want you to prove how much you like them". If that is the case then you either have an egotistical maniac on your hands or a very insecure being. Otherwise they are just not interested!!

@TaurusLovesScorpio - Yes I was going to extremes with the subject title, had to think of something that would catch peoples attention but at the same time fit it in the subject field lol. May I ask, how did this running and avoiding the women you had intense feelings for work out for you?

Its ok. You can share your story when youre ready. No need for this projection; DXP is here for you.



@DMV once in awhile some of us needs someone to speak out and remind us of some valuable life lessons. Scorpvixen's post was quite timely for me 😛



nope, that scorp moon is still obsessed.



If you're referring to the Aries Moon, yes a little bit 😛

But I figured I need to use my Aries bits a bit more now and stop that nonsense before it gets out of control.(Probably why I keep running away from her after every moment of honesty with her).

Can you elaborate in your thread on the moon board? Fight or flight kicks in after moments of honesty.

I've been around the DXP block enough to know, that this place is just the toilet for failed and struggling relationships.

People with satisfying relationships don't get on the internet to research astrology to find out why they're happy together.

Once users here find love, they slowly fade away and delete/stop posting or they become way more reserved in their posting typically. A rare few stick around after that mainly because they really enjoy astrology or this community.


No matter what though, astrology was alluring enough to captivate your attention and make you think it had answers you wanted. What you do with knowledge you gain determines the kind of person you really are.



+100000000

definitely. Most who find happiness, leave. But you're right, those who stay, usually enjoy astrology, and maybe help out; I can't think of any other way why they'd stay. The ones who are single and unhappy, there's a huge reason why they stay. Looking for the "mate" i suppose. But plenty here are with mates and are very helpful!

i believe it's the "capacity" to understand astrolgoy which makes alot of people don't get it. It is very IN-DEPTH. also, when i took astronomy 101, half the class FAILED. (of 40-50 people) they can't even get simple symbols. so if half the class failed on a LOW level, you have to think, many do not "get it" not because they are dumb, that's FAR from it. They are quite smart, it's just that the way astrology is founded is in the stars, and it's not a subject that is easy to "grasp" for even half.
then when you get higher level, more and more people FAIL. it's that difficult. It's just saying that many people are more equipped for architecture, nursing, mechanics, different types of skills ect.

hm that would be harsh to say that those who are single, are unhappy (but it sure seems like it because of all the posts crying and fretting about so and so sign) *smh* but i'm guessing those who stay and are single are not unhappy, but are also equally helpful and want to understand astro. I mean, i see lots of people who are in relationships and are into astrology big time, like some astrologers who keep 24/7 blogs on it. And also, there's that Alyssa Sharpe who is married, on youtube with all those youtube videos on all the placements. she seems happy and satisfied with her marriage but she's with astro alot!
