I wish someone had explained astrology to me as a kid

Then I would understand why I went through all those things, and I could learn and grow with them instead of them messing up many years of my life, the formative ones. I always thought there was something wrong with me, something against me and now I know what it is. Learning about all the hard aspects I have is really opening my eyes. I can't wait to tackle them and be in control for once.

well they say you're not your natal chart til a saturn return or something.

What does that mean? It doesn't activate until a saturn return? Very confused.

I was told I'm at a 3rd square of saturn right now, which I don't entirely understand yet: https://www.dxpnet.com/opinion/astrology/how-do-current-transits-affect-us-5919380/

why does dxpnet get rid of text before a link—

sort of.

like for example 10th house stuff and career. what if you don't work til your mid twenties because you studied to be a doctor?

Ahh yes I see what you mean.

But what about these aspects telling me i have a fear of rejection (merc op asc), a mind that lies to me (merc sq nep), and that im rebellious and hate authority (merc sq ur), and that's only the stuff I've looked up so far 😢 That's relevant right? Because these have definitely affected me my whole life.

You're a Virgo, there is something wrong with you.

Ok, I'll stop., but seriously I felt the same way, I feel like astrology has helped me to understand myself better, keeps flaws to a minimum, outsmart my haters once I know their sign, more efficiently than just going by intuition. As for Virgo sun, I don't know man. The men and women are just yuck.,no offense. There's a Virgo women causing havoc at work, the head honchos are looking for ways to fire her, without her coming back and killing everybody in the building as a disgruntled ex employee.

Yeah I don't blame you tbh. Not all virgos are bad but there certainly are a lot that are. I know some I don't particularly get on with because they just so virgo in the negative ways (like complaining, caring way too much about cleaning, being nitpicky). And my own traits annoy me sometimes as well.

Good luck with your virgo coworker 😢

I am really happy that I didn't learn about astrology until later in life. I think you have a greater chance to think objectively at an older age and to have learnt about yourself enough through experience to be able to actually use it in a better way.

Problem is there's heavy religious people who would think that astrology is a devil work.. Especially in America.

yeah it's a shame really
they could be learning so much about themselves and improving things faster, and removing obstacles

i'm religious but idec, this stuff is too accurate to ignore
i think it has to somehow coincide, and maybe some stuff got lost in translation

Yeah I was just thinking that! I guess we learn this stuff at the right times, when we need it, and when we are going to be receptive to it.

How old were you when you started learning about it?

January of this year...🙂

Yeah, I get that too, and I am a "Christian". I just ignore them since God created the heavens, stars, planets, etc!

most people find astrology during a great time of stress. i actually wonder why there is an influx of so many young people on the boards. sometimes i'm like awww that young really?

Sign of the times.
I'm surprised how many Pluto in Scorpio/Pluto in Sag people show up.

I really, really regret buying into astrology.

It seriously limited me in my thinking, I just notice I don't think further. It just doesn't work for me anymore.

And like Tiziani said, it's the same as religion - it's just something to hold on to.

How has it limited your thinking? Also, if you believe it is just something to hold on to, do you not believe it anymore or?
