Bluelight Astrology Club :)

I def believe in astrology. Only from experience. Every one of my relationships, whether friends, family, or romantic- could have been basically predicted using these basic tenets
 
I just had my Natal chart done this morning. Well, I made appointment weeks ago, so he was prepared before I got there today. The guy I has been doing this since the early 80s, I'll be going back in 6 months at the end of my birth year for a Solar return chart. This guy was so spot on and so precisely scientific. All the hogwash astrologers give guys like this a bad name.

If any one wants to do a session with him over skype he does that. Takes 1 and to 2 hrs for only $100 AUD. If interested pm me.

So good seeing someone legit that helps reaffirm the path I'm on and decisions I make. Such good timing for me at the moment as well. :)



btw, I found this link to be a little fun. Try it if you haven't already.

It's complete poppycock, absolute rubbish, total pisch.I put it right up there with people who used to read the bumps on peoples heads looking for criminal tendencies, soothsayers, snake oil salesmen and tarot readers and other assorted beady eyed mystics, just another way for the gullible to be parted from their money.

20 years ago my company was hired to build a website for one of Australia's biggest and most successful astrologers, over the course of a few weeks I got to know him pretty well and raised my skepticism about the whole thing to him, he finally admitted to me that the whole thing was a scam, he showed me a computer program that he used to just put in the date and location of someones birth and it would spit out this generic bullshit info, pages of it, it was all meaningless and he took me outside and showed me his brand new jag and said, "that computer bought that for me".

He was completely open and honest with me about how it had provided him with a really great lifestyle and how he was charging hundreds of dollars a time for personal readings and how he didn't believe a word of it himself but it was just a machine for printing money.

I know some people can't handle hearing info like that and I will now get flamed but them as they attack the keyboard in an air clawing rage but I assure you I'm not making this up, the whole thing is absolute bunkem but hey, if it makes you happy believing in that kind of esoteric nonsense then that's ok, the mission is to have a happy contented life not to be right about everything and if rainbows, dolphins, crystals balls and unicorns float your boat then knock yourself out, I just prefer my metaphysics to be served on a slightly more rational plate.
 
Your experience is what it is. Your own, isolated individual experience.

Your experience aside, get off you high horse, astrology is not esoteric in anyway. Maybe clairvoyancy is. Quit tripping over your own ego.
 
^Flame number one, looking forward to the rest... don't hold back people, oh by the way, I have a bridge over the Hudson I'm trying to sell if anyone is interested :)
 
lol

You've come here numerous times making the same point over and over and ending with "if that's what you want to believe in that's ok"

So is there some other reason you keep coming back? :)
 
you dont need to use small and little in the same line, its a double something or other.
 
I might be opening my mind to this astrology thing as more than just a bit of fun.. I havn't got any evidence/proof, it's only because stuff I read sounds pretty much just like me (occasionally I'll be like haha you got to be joking, but not often surprisingly). Though I suppose if I thought I were a different sign I'ld read it and think it could be true too, I've done this just to check lol. Maybe I am too easily persuaded because quite a few of the other positions for other planets sound like they could be true for me. Especially the moons, I think I have many moons somehow lol.

I think this counts as a healthy way to deal with my self obsession, better than starvation diets and binge eating episodes anyway. Does it? Lol.
I have Birthday forecast, I'm going to test it and see if things line up how they say they will.

well done - you met a charlatan - someone who confirmed what you already believed so you stopped there.

He may not believe in it, but it works.


Astrology is a science of the stars, just the same as astronomy - only difference is that it is a study of what the positions of the planets, moon, sun and stars mean to each and every person on this planet(and probably other beings in the universe)'s fates.

Astrology is extremely accurate mister troll... Naysayers who don't know anything but what charlatans tell them need to go and do their homework before commenting on what they have no idea about.

Just because he has a computer that does the calculations for him, does not mean that it isn't true, valid, whatever - it just means he was exploiting something he didn't quite understand.

Absolutely! Kevin is the biggest troll that I have ever seen.
He needs to be banned so that ignorant discussion can reign unchallenged. I think that this is happening on the whole of the internet as people rediscover ancient mythical entities to accuse people of being. Surely that is the sign of an enlightened age. Ban the troll! Ban all trolls and those who have differing opinions! Conform with your thought or be banned, troll! All incorrect thinkers need to have their words deleted, to my mind - this is progress. Then we'll burn the books of all trolls from the past. Die trolls die.

Pluto is currently transiting through Capricorn. Pluto is the planet of transformation, but on the deepest most radical levels. Capricorn represents traditional order, hierarchy, and authority. As pluto transits Capricorn, we are experiencing world-wide rebellions and discontent against the current paradigm of government and corporate powers. Since Pluto stays in each sign for about 22 years, we can expect world power to look a lot different at the end of Pluto's current cycle, one way or another.

I believe in astrology. I also believe in science. There are times when a scientific mind is required and there are times when it isn't. Knowing when to engage the logical mind and when to engage the intuitive/abstract mind is important. If all you know how to do is be logical, then your abstract mind needs work, and vice versa. The two hemispheres are complimentary, not opposed. There is truth to be found in everything.

And if you think world leaders and governments don't also use astrologers and psychics just as they use scientists, then you're crazy. Every U.S. President since Nixon has had a personal astrologer ASSIGNED TO THEM when they came into office, the most publicly recognized of whom is Joan Quigley that served Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. (Although, in that case Reagan and his wife nancy selected her, she was not chosen for them.) From what declassified documents that are accessible to the public, most of the major world governments, including Russia and the U.S., employ psychics in their intelligence services.

Specific to political astrology, many decisions are made by world leaders with the assistance of astrologers. And yes, every US President has had an astrologer on staff as a trusted advisor comparable to a Cabinet member. What a dream job! ;)

I do wish to point out that astrologers are not naturally psychic. I don't think Quigley was. Regarding psychics in the public sector, however, many police departments who, for example, must locate someone in a missing persons case, will call a psychic to come to the scene and give his or her take on what happened. Very often they are able to provide leads that detectives and investigators would have overlooked.

Astrology is not paranormal to me, however, psychic activity is. I don't know if it's because I am familiar with the first and not the second. The two are very, very different.

Well done on the Pluto transit. It whooped the crap out of my IC (28 Sag), understandably, home life underwent a lot of change. Pluto is close to my Ascendant natally though it will not be in a true square for awhile, that should be interesting. Alan Oken has done excellent work in pretty much every subfield and has recently written on Pluto's ingress into Capricorn. If I had to choose a favorite, it would likely be him - I have not read a single work of his that disappointed me. He reminds me of the ancient scholarly tradition of astrology - open discussion, firm grasp of the basics and advanced knowledge, and he is also a damn fine teacher in 7 languages. He's also a nice guy.
 
Mars Square Pluto.

So I'm beginning to see the effect of this aspect in my chart, it literally is like trying to contain the pressure of a nuclear bomb within me; the energy is so explosive..

Every now and then I have to release it in some extreme way otherwise it turns inwards and consumes me.. dancing is usually the most accessible means, but anything from skydiving to jumping off cliffs also fits the bill.

On another note..

Pluto transiting through my 8th making hard aspects to my Sun/Chiron and conjunct Neptune/Uranus is kicking my ass something chronic.. I feel like I've been hit with a tsunami of my own issues all at the same time.

I've never felt more lost and alone in my life! I've been pulled directly into the present; it's impossible to escape.. Going back to the past is no longer an option and the future is completely unknown. Forced with brute force to face the abyss of myself... it's like been ripped apart by a black hole that's pulling me down into the underworld..

A bit melodramatic lol! That's Leo in my 3rd for you :)

Astrologers are not usually psychic, no. They are just using an interpretive tool. When I say the government uses psychics I am not referring to astrologers but to what the intelligence agencies use.

However, a psychic person doing astrology will see more depth and meaning from the configurations than someone who isn't psychic.

I don't think psychic powers are paranormal or supernatural. They are normal and natural. It's just that they rely on dynamics that science doesn't yet understand.
 
I am a skeptic and a doubter who has (and still does) dabble/d in astrology for roughly twenty years. I don't use computers or programs for that. Aries Satellitium w/a virgo ascendant.
