Proof? You want to believe it because sometimes it makes a lot of sense yet disliking the idea that planetary alignments can define you?

No, it's not truth. I'm the kind of person who believes in something whole heartedly without proof (magic for instance) and nothing seems missing....maybe it is structure and rules. But something isn't there. Maybe it's the fact we are assigned to out signs instead of they evolve with us. We should pick our signs according to our true personalities.

Nothing is missing ~ it is the perfect blend of alchemy

BTW, I like your eye ~ it is deep and watery looking ~ it would never pass off as an Aries eye

:-)

That's true, and thank you ^.^ yeah! I know....it' gets more watery as I grow 😢 but I guess it's not so bad being a Pisces.

I find myself arguing with 'hard and fast' rules of traditional astrology quite a bit and personally prefer a more esoteric view on chart reading than most would. When I look at a chart I still see the basic parts that create it, but then strive to understand how the energy flows between them all to make up the bigger picture.

But then again, Uranus square Sun, I'm probably going to do things my own way no matter what lol.

I sometimes feel it is God... Even though the zodiac is made from many gods I still feel the God is bigger... Its just something I feel in my heart

Not much missing in terms of tradition and the hermetic theory. It's pretty formulaic (four elements, 12 houses, 30 degrees, yada yada) but that's as far as I can gather from it. The rest, I think, is interpretation and personal experience and obviously not a perfect system. I like your pisces investigation though, it's very thorough when it comes to defining the "essence" of things.

Astrology is magic if you don't get it then you don't get it??_..

Astrology has always been what I needed it to be, it has guided me and has saved me from so much, I wouldn't be the happy person I am today if it weren't for this magical platform that allows me to understand myself and others.

Its like looking at people through rose coloured lenses, all of a sudden they are interesting magical beings that come from distant stars, servants of planetary rulers, sailor scouts etc??_.Without astrology life would be a story with no punctuation, just relentless.
