Self Fulfilling Prophecy or Self Improvement

Question for the Weekend:

Does knowing who you "are" astrologically help you improve on what others may view as your weakness or does it perpetuate a self-fulfilling prophecy?

I am curious about your opinion.

This is a good question topic.

I feel that having insight as to how you operate as a person can be positive or negative, depending on how each indiviual responds to what he or she learns about who they are.

I can at times, let myself get discouraged at the negative things that I have read about the Piscean personality because according to many of the things I have read, we are just dreamers, dreamers, dreamers who can barely deal with the realitites of life- these are the negatives. I have had to remind myself that even though these may be negative aspects of my personality, I do have self-control and the power to change and take control to change these negatives. I can also take what are labeled as these negatives but use them in a positive way, for instance, if I am a dreamer then I can dream about goals I want to accomplish and daydream about being where I want to be and use that as motivation. Or I can take the situations that I can create in my daydreams and imagination and turn these "little dramas in the head" into reality by writing them down which could be the beginnings of a novel or play.

I think also it's best just to embrace the negatives just as much as the positives and know that each sign all possess aspects that are negative. It's just a matter of having a balance and control.

I am very much an analytical, logical, common-sense person as well as being sensitive and emotional.

Each indiviual has the power and capability to fullfil whatever they desire of his or her life- it's an indiviual choice and not something predestined according to one's astrological sign.

Knowing all the elements in my chart and doing an in depth chart interpretation has answered alot of questions I had about myself.

1)Most people never get to know who they are, or do they care. they just love analyzing and tearing people down. Everyone does it, including me: maybe its human nature. But, until we understand ourselves better, we really have no right trying to fix someoneelse. However, I meddle when I am not supposed to. Call me naive. I just cant help it- if a fellow human being is in pain and in my proximity, I will ask what is wrong or if i can help.

2) I'm very outgoing, but also need alot of time alone to think and reflect. being a pisces sun, vens, mars & haveing a grand trine in air signs is confusing. Not only to me but friends and family. they think I have multiple personalities, lol. I had been diagnosed as bi-polar/manic depression runs on my mother;s side of the family. So its not my fault- I have been stabilized for about a year now.

3) Libra and gemini dominate my chart besides pisces- All 3 signs have double sides: pisces has 2 fish, gemini = twins, libra- scales: its like a balancing act for all my different sides. I'm know for picking things up easily, especially languages. I'm not a genius- how can i be when everything interests me! teaching and being a writer seems to be my true calling.

There is so much more...overall astrology has helped me understand myself and loved ones and I have no problems explaining astrology in great detail- it is such a passion of mine. Only if you saw me in person, you could see it: words cannot show any of you!
