How do you guys use astrology in your real life? I mean in terms of predictions or even star signs?

I just take astrology for what's it worth. I mean it's a good tool to use to understand yourself and others but to say use it out in the real world to stop you from doing things you wanna do because you wanna wait for a certain particular signs energy to jump start on something, or maybe because you found out your dream lover turned out to be an enemy sign is carrying it a bit too far. Or even mercury retrograde is a bunch of balony. I'm not gonna let mercury retrograde hinder me from doing anything or going anywhere.

Yes i find it interesting and useful.

I use Astro.com…

I’ve always used placidus but after talking to a very knowledgeable Astrologer who highly

recommends equal houses, it puts a lot of my planets in my 8th which makes me Scorpio

and 8th house dom 😲😅

It’s given me a deeper and fascinating insight into people…the fact that everyone’s chart is unique is interesting. I think aspects and houses are very revealing and the deeper you go the more amazing it becomes. The sun

sign thing that you read in magazines is just a tiny part of it….

When our baby was born we’d a chart drawn up for him. He read it with a very cynical mind 😃but admitted the descriptions were dead on.

Its more of a hobby to me. I do look at synastry but just for fun. I will say it has its coincidences and they can be oddly accurate. I only look at transita after major events. And it has to be impactful. I don't dwelve in it that much these days.

I will say it is a recurring relationship in my life that has played out to the tee. But most times, I rarely use it. Its just fun to see how certain things play out.

I used to use astrology a lot when I dated but now it’s like a quiet confirmation to myself when I see behaviors and then quietly guess their sign.


I use to run to dxp very time I met a guy. Even tho the interaction maybe lasts a week with the guy.


I need a “timing” indicator more so than an astrological indicators


I guess that means you are learning and have evolved then. 🙂

What do you mean by a timing indicator? And what would the indicator be? 🙂

Thank you for all your replies everyone. x

Well I don’t look at my transits often (i check my clients as part of my work) but tbh I’m a bit blown away by what i saw when I checked today ~

I’ve discovered a business deal which is proving to be quite lucrative and which is something I’d not have considered in the past

2nd house is connected to money/security.



Transits to my 2nd house

Moon

It is a good time to think about what to do for greater material security.

Mercury

this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.

Uranus

unusual ways of making money could be in place during this cycle.

Equal Houses are used only for people born beyond the polar circles or near them.

Same. Equal Houses makes me Cancer ASC, which I do not want to be. I have Aries MC, so Cancer becomes my ASC. I mean the MC Equal Houses system as more widespread in my area. There are also the ASC Equal Houses system, the Whole Signs house system, etc.

“Would you start a certain activity on a certain date to harness a sign's energy?”

No that sounds boring. I don’t use astrology. I just come as I am. Take it or leave it. I expect the same from others. Also, who’s to say that certain activities can be pinned to astrology.. For example, I don’t hang around people who smoke or who aren’t health conscious. Neither of those things can be pinned to any astrology placement.

For someone who's temper flares outta control at times and are smart (only at the mouth) I still have to give you props because dude let's face it. You ARE wise beyond your years. Say whatever you want about me I don't care but this post right here I like.

I can literally and figuratively imagine that you talk like this guy in real life and with that very same attitude and all, too.



Just basing off how you write on these message boards and comment section and basing off how you look. Only except that dude who I listened to in my high school days made a career out of himself unlike you that never made an ounce of career with your temperament and was never famous. I'm trying to side with you something I rarely ever do.

I didn’t fall for your disingenuous comments and now you are mad. Haha oh well.
