"It isn't a definitive guide, and that's the point. People have to be willing to take into account reality and actual experiences vs. just book knowledge and what would happen in a perfect world."
Naw, nothing is a definitive guide, but with astrology, there is a general consensus by people who have studied it for years. So, when I see things that blatantly dispute that I speak up...cause why not? We might as well consider the "expert" opinion if we're going to consider all the "I wrote this on my blog" opionions.
"I haven't met any Cancer's really, but if they're clingy, I can't deal with that. Nor could I deal with mom coming over for dinner every night. LOL!"
LMAO! Point taken. I work with two Cancer men. I haven't noticed them always on the phone with their mom. But, then I have my headphones on most of the day. 😛
Wait, wait..I did that all wrong. You WILL wear that outfit for me, because I like it best! Now, you must kiss the whip before we begin..(were there rules or something about your back door? I can't remember?) lol
"What did you leave me?"
My DVD of E.T., of course! 🙂
"but if you must sing to me try "So Hott" by Kid Rock, that might soothe me."
Erm..I don't listen to Kidd Rock if I can possibly avoid it. How about some Tool? They're nice and soothing..😉 *hums "Hooker with a Penis"*
"If we have a mob of people here claiming that the sky is yellow, and in truth it isn't, just because everyone has agreed that it was, doesn't mean it is."
Yeah, but a mob of random people (on LSD? lol) is not the same as a collective group who have studied a subject. Why would we discount their opinion, but consider username VirgoSunCansirRising's or whatever as truth? That's all I'm saying.
"And if Virgoes are supposedly so organized and neat as SP talked about, how come I've met so many who aren't?"
Because we don't all exhibit every trait given each sign. The descriptions in books are an ideal. And there's also the rest of the chart to consider. It's like "types" described in Psychology. Not every borderline personality will exhibit the exact same symptoms, but those they do exhibit will help narrow the diagnosis.
Everyone has their own experience, and it either supports astrology, and they find some truth in it, or it doesn't. My experiences have supported it far more than not, so my only natural conclusion would have to be, there's truth in it. I learned about it through books, so if I'm seeing what I've read in people, that's pretty good proof, as far as I'm concerned.
"~kneels down before you and slowly gazes up those sexy, shapely legs with those high heels to her eyes with ever so much admiration and adoration, leans forward and kisses the whip"
And now...you will agree with everything I say...for I must go noddy blinkums..lol
"I should clarify and say that just because you've studied something doesn't mean you're not still learning about it. Astrologers continue to make mistakes, and astrology isn't even an exact science. It's a pseudoscience, so there's even more room for interpretation."
Oh, there's always more to learn! About anything, that's not what I mean. But, astrology has been around for centuries. Yes, it's a pseudoscience, but so are all these ghost shows and things. Just because some people haven't experienced, say a haunting, in person, does that mean spirits don't exist? They all say that's bunk, too. And again, as someone whose experienced that sort of thing..I'd have to disagree. In a MAJOR way.
"Pretty when you cry" by Vast"
Ahhh..niiice choice. A VERY Scorpio song.
"I didn't want to hurt you, baby, I didn't want to hurt you, but you're pretty when you cry" Heheheheeeeeeheheeeeeeeeeeeeeee
"Why can't us everyday folk be given credit for our insight and experiences too?"
Well, because I haven't spent most of my adult life doing research on it to write a book, so I defer to those that have. Yes, they have their own opinions and biases, as well, but of everything I've read, they're more alike than not.
"SS, You just proved my points then all along. That's a lot of what I've been saying."
Then, SHAD-Up already, you freakin' argumentative Aries..
"So, it's not just about what someone says or what experts say, it's about what you experienced as well."
Not necessarily. For example, I've never seen a UFO, but I do think life exists on other planets based on what I've read by scientists about our own planet and the universe. However, that doesn't mean I believe everyone's story of how they saw a UFO outside their trailer....ya dig? I always consider the source. Some are more credible than others. Around here...some people are the dude standing outside the trailer when it comes to astrology. In my opinion if you're going to talk the loudest, it's best to have at least some knowledge about the actual topic. That's just common sense..on any subject.
I was just expressing my opinion and you came at me like a hornet! Did I not mention that I had a LIVE debate earlier...jeezus woman. What am I going to do with you?
I must be losing my eyesight..I could've sworn you said you were going to put me in a cage..and then i laughed until I cried..😛
YOU ARE TOTALLY MINDFUCKING ME...cheating on me in one thread...talking sweet in the next.
Well, I'm going to bed with all of my slaves now so you can think about what you really want. Sergei is rubbing my feet and sucking my toes right now. He's a Russian swimmer. 🙂
Well thanks for taking the time to look at my placements and post up all of that information Elena. You may have some good points there but I'll have to disagree on the communication issue with Pisces...they make me feel so damn comfortable and at ease that I have no trouble confiding in them. The fact that I can't completely figure them out is a part of the allure for me though, I find I can lose interest quickly once I have someone completely figured out to the point of not being a challenge at all...like the Cancer ex.
Not all Taurus women are the same obviously, but the one I had was such a bad experience in the end that I'll not be seeking one out on purpose. The fish just have a way of melting me...a bit unnerving to a Scorp, but hey it feels good so I'm down with it.
Open relationship with a scor male— Yeah that would only apply to him. All hell would break out if he even thought you were with someone else. They will get away with it if you let them. Some luv to roam, and most times it is when they are not completely into you. Sorry.
