Title: What Are Your Signs?
Post by: LeaveThePastBehind on September 27, 2011, 11:16:24 AM
Hi everyone!

I have always wanted to do a little study like this. I am very interested in astrology and I ask everyone I can what their sign is especially if they're a couple just to see if there's any truth to any of it. I am a Pisces and he is a Gemini. In astrological terms this isn't a very good combination but other factors matter too like rising sign which is dependent on time and place of birth. His Alienator is a Libra which is notoriously the best match possible  :'( .

Anyway, this purely serves my curiosity :) . So please, if you'd like, use the first 12 fields to find your sign and the next 12 for your MLC's sign and the next 12 for the *other person*. And then at the end, are they still together. Hope this works as planned - it could be interesting :)

Edited : Aww, I think I made an error in the amount of choices allowed. I may have to redo it. I think only three options are allowed right now. It should have been 5.

Edited : O.k. so I omitted the last two *yes* or *no* options about whether or not they are still together ( so I wouldn't have to do the whole thing again ) but if you'd like, please elaborate in the thread.

Hey Synicca,

Thanks for voting!
My rising sign is Virgo. I fit the description of Pisces w/ Virgo rising to a T. I'm so rigid & emotional to a fault. I never did get a chance to learn my exs' rising sign but I wish I knew.

I'm a Capricorn, Sagittarius rising, venus and moon in Aquarius. Husband is a Sagittarius, Aires rising, moon in Capricorn, venus in Sagittarius. Must add I born in the cusp between Sagittarius and Capricorn, so, I'm a bit of both.

OW1 was a Cancer, OW2 is a Libra and they are still together.  Don't now about their rising, moon or venus.

Interesting! Btw, if your MLCr is a Gemini, I'd love to hear how they've been lately because I don't seek out information about him. I'm afraid to.

Post by: Anjae on September 27, 2011, 04:03:11 PM
Star, you've said it yourself, just knowing the sign is not enough. Rising, along with the moon and venus, play a large part as well. So, not all Gemini will act the same way.

Wanna know a funny thing? A friend did charts for me and my husband (after he left). His shows a crisis at midlife! Can you believe it?... :o
Title: Re: What Are Your Signs?
Post by: LeaveThePastBehind on September 27, 2011, 04:08:52 PM
Definitely, the whole chart matters but I don't have any way to figure out the other aspects of his chart. I don't know the time of his birth :-\.

I believe it! I take it all with a grain of salt but it really does turn out to be true a lot of times.
Title: Re: What Are Your Signs?
Post by: Anjae on September 27, 2011, 04:25:30 PM
If you do not know the time of his birth, do it with assumed sunrise. Usually the moon and venus do not change within the same day.

Well, I also take it with a garin of salt. But husband does indeed have a MLC.  ;D-

Oh, I'll try that then, Annej. The entire first year he left, reading these silly horoscopes kept me going. I, literally, had a list of at least ten good sites that I went to *every single day* to read our signs. The main thing about it was, it kept me on a routine with something to look forward to everyday and it really helped me. It was the only way I would allow myself a glimpse into his world, albeit realistic or not  ;D  It made sense. It was all very revealing.

What is rising is it the time i was born....i was born on a sunday at 1800 hours and my star sign is aquarius.........my h was born on a monday evening he is a leo what does this mean....im interested in astrology but have not heard of rising xxxxxx

Post by: Anjae on September 27, 2011, 04:57:21 PM
WGH, to know someone rising, moon, venus, etc, one needs the time of birth (or, lsunrise, ess acurate but will help), the years, and the town plus country.

Rising sign or Ascendant is "The Ascendant (or rising sign) is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Perhaps it is most aptly thought of as the automatic responses to one's environment. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. The Ascendant shows an individual's first, natural reaction to new people and situations."

The moon "represents our deepest personal needs, our basic habits and reactions, and our unconscious. " and venus "The sign position of Venus reveals the "role" we take on when we want to attract love. But, it goes well beyond mere flirtation -- we "act like" this sign when we are involved in personal, one-to-one love relationships...whether we are on our first date or celebrating our 40th Anniversary.

It is important to note that when we play a Venusian role, we do not truly "act" or put on a show, per se. The character traits of our Venus sign are genuine traits that come from within us. However, they are activated most powerfully, or highlighted, when we are in love.".

There are other planets that make the whole chart, but the sign, rising, moon and venus will give you the essence of a person. Mercury is important for communication and Mars for the way you handle conflict.

I read my and my H's horescope's every morning....first thing..:)

I also got a "reading" back in July...that said my H would be taking a trip and that he was going to find what he needed.
and the end result was that our M would stay in tact....;) Waiting to see if that is true...H is still on that trip. :)

For love and relashionships, venus, as well as the moon, are more relevant than sun sign compatibility. But, overhaul, yes, cancer and capricorn go well together.

The details can be very confusing.

I find it very intriguing that Gemini's are in the majority of LBS's. Of course, Gemini's are awesome! They have so much power that can be used for strong good or strong evil. Can't wait to see more results.

You mean, the details of astrology?...
Title: Re: What Are Your Signs?
Post by: LeaveThePastBehind on September 27, 2011, 05:39:28 PM
Yeah, the details can be confusing. Especially when you have to read so many signs just for one person every day / week / month ie. their rising, moon, sun, venus, mars, etc. as you mentioned. I understand it enough because I've read a lot about this stuff but it's still confusing sometimes.
Title: Re: What Are Your Signs?
Post by: Anjae on September 27, 2011, 06:18:24 PM
Essencially, on a daily, weekly, monthy, basis just reduce it to sun sign, rising sun and venus sign. If you only know the first two, use only the first two.

For a more deep insight the others parts are needed, but the sun sign, rising sign and venus already give you a good view. And, of course, you have to take it with a grain of sault. Even in normal times one needs to do so but in MLC, what we have is the dark side, the shadow, in action.

I don't know if you know anything about Jung and his shadow theory, it is very interesting and can shed some light into this MLC thing. If you want take a look at these links:

Hmm, I have never heard of that Shadow theory but it sounds interesting. I will definitely read up on that ( I started to, already ). Thanks for sharing!

Is any of this healthy?

We often read that the MLCer is delusional and living in a fantasy world. Let's imagine a group of MLCers drop in here and read this thread and the recent RCR blogpost about meditating on Tarot cards. I can just see the MLCers having a good chuckle and saying, "and they think we are deluded".

I apologise if the above sounds rude but at this time in our lives and the lives of our MLCer it is a time for seeking emotional health, mental stability and clear thinking. Muddying Jungian psychology and astrology doesn't feel to me like it is heading in the right direction.

If in your despair you went to a counsellor and said, "my H has left me, committed adultery, wants to impoverish me through divorce and I feel dreadful, please can you help?" and that counsellor said, "ok, let's have a look at your star sign, and the signs of everyone else involved with this situation and we will start to make sense of it all." What would your reaction be?

Post by: Dandy Lion on September 28, 2011, 01:00:57 AM
In a normal situation I think looking at compatibility in sun signs can be fun and enjoyable especially in a healthy relationship because anything negative will not affect the relationship because it would be taken lightly.  While our partners are in MLC it can be very unsettling for us to look toward horoscopes, tarot etc etc because there are so many frauds out there over the internet and right now many of us are very weak and easily led.  So I just want to discourage anyone from looking for advice in unsafe places.  We have the forum here and we all know how safe we feel here so please take care wherever you seek solutions.

Hugs to all

Actually, Jung did established links between the self, shadow, etc and Tarot Cards, the archetypes. He was very much into that as well as into synchronicities.

honour, I think this thread, as Star says, has to be taken with a grain of salt. But Jung may got something out of the signs of the MLCer, LBS and other person.  ;D Or, at least, out of their Tarot Cards.  ;D

I agree with Umare, based on my own experience.

We are looking for answers to this nightmare situation we find ourselves in.  I have always been interested in tarot/physics etc., and I believe there is some truth in it.

It has however ruled my life - I turned to it the moment bomb was dropped.  At one stage I was calling 2/3 times a week and this went on for months.  I stopped for 9 months then when 2nd bomb was dropped I turned to it again.  Some of it has come true.

As some of you may have read on my thread, back in July I was told that my life would turn round in September and I would meet a new man, basically I wouldn't turn back.  I have 'met' someone in September and it really is nice to have the attention and take the focus off my situation.  I'm not ready for a relationship and I get the feeling this man wants more than friendship but because of what I was told, I keep telling myself he's 'the one'. 

Now I'm growing stronger, I want to come away from this, let go and trust my initution and myself.  How do I do it, how do I get past the desparate feeling I need to phone?  I dread to think how much I've spent in the last 3 years and I have nothing to show for it, except debt  :(

Any ideas?

Hi everyone!

I absolutely agree that focusing on horoscopes, etc. is not the best way to get any kind of answers but it's just a hobby *for me*. Also, I've always been curious to see for myself it there's any truth to any of it so I do that by taking note of what signs are going through what over time and by comparing it to my own situation.
 
It's a way for me to get an idea of what he's going through without looking him up on google, stalking his facebook, and contacting him.
I haven't *once* typed his or the other person's name into google search. I chose early on not to even take a glimpse of her face although everyone around me thought I should.

But that's just me. I see how this could get out hand, in some cases, as in your story SpecialK. I'm sorry that you are the dilemma you're in. I wish I had some advice for you. When it comes to money issues, the thing is I don't have *debt* but I don't have any money to begin with anyway, so yeah. I feel your pain. (( Hugs ))

SpecialK, you have acquired an addiction. The person at the other end of the phone does not have "special powers", what they have is the skill of "reading" you by picking up signs in the words you use, the questions you ask, the intonation and inflection of your voice etc etc...and then they give you what you want to receive i.e. what you want to hear. In return you give them money and you keep going back and giving them more money so they tell you more stuff. Sound familiar? Yes, the person at the other end of the phone is just a "drug" pusher. And you concede "it has ruled my life". This is why these "hobbies" taken "with a grain of salt" are unhealthy.

You do have something other than debt to show for it...you have confusion. Confusion because of the suggestions placed in your mind. Your feelings are telling you you are not ready for a relationship but the "suggestions" are telling you something contrary.

There is a thread running here entitled "scripture". Members have posted verses that they find uplifting, encouraging and conducive to peace. You could do worse than repeat some of those verses to yourself every day. You will be putting healthy suggestions in your mind. You can choose what you put in your mind. You can control your environment. Far more healthy to place your trust in a God of love than a charlatan at the end of the phone who wants your credit card number.

It won't be easy and it will take time. Addictions are powerful but they can be broken.

Take care.

If you look to see if there is any truth in it you will find your "truth". But the "truth" will be coincidences, but you will then be done the road of believing the suggestions that the astrological predictions will be telling you. Suggestion is a powerful force. Advertising agencies spend millions and millions to put suggestions in your mind through adverts of every kind. They do it because it works.

You are a product of your biology and your environment. Your biology you can't do much about but you can choose your environment wisely. You can choose what you put in your mind.

Following "signs" can get you in a pickle, you are surrendering your ability to think for yourself. There are those who view astrology as ocult. Is it not ironic that when you joined this forum (see below in bold) you where member 666? Now, is that a sign or a coincidence?

Hey honour,

I get your point of view. I guess a little bit of that logic could be applied to other hobbies such as baking, as well. Had I decided to routinely bake a dozen cookies *every single day* for that first year after Dday, then that could have had the potential, if I let it, to make me gain 100 pounds. I do love to bake  :) But, yeah I get what you're saying.

Honour, that last post seemed to come across as a personal attack on StarGazerGirl.  It sounds like you have some pretty strong religious beliefs but please try to be aware that not everyone on this board feels the same way you do.  We are all here to support each other while dealing with the beast that is MLC.  Different people have different methods and it is great that we have so many folks here willing to share.  Peace.

SpecialK, maybe you could buy your own tarot deck (or medicine cards, etc.) and start doing your own readings?  Or even just pull a card a day. Doing it yourself might help you focus more on your own intuition and inner voice.  Sit.  Be still.  Trust yourself.  It does sound like you're not getting much out of the calls you are making, and losing $$ on top of it.  :(

Phew!  Even though I do not believe in such things, I'm not sure that I'd enjoy having it pointed out that I was the 666th visitor to a forum.  We have had so much of a frenzy whipped up around this in the media with horror movies being made about it etc, we all have a small irrational fear.  A bit like the terror bred into people because of the movie 'jaws'.
So - am not quite sure where you were going with this Honour, but it didn't feel very supportive of Star.  I'm sure that wouldn't have been your intention.

As a matter of interest, recent studies of original documents have Oxford Scholars convinced that the number as documented was actually 616!!!  As with everything, these things are very open to interpretation.  Many cultures/religions actually believe the 'number of the beast' has a positive meaning :)
Each to his own, I say ......

Jumping in here, and Honour, I understand your point of view, but it is not shared by all.... declaring your "point of view" as definitive can be off putting.....

Prior to MLC, I had never had certain "experiences".... anyone who has followed along from the beginning, knows what "experiences" I am referring to.... I don't tout that my "experience" is a) TRUE or b) THE TRUTH... it is simply my experience, and by journaling it TRUTHFULLY, opinion be damned, others with similar "experiences" can share or relate to what I write.... I still would not declare my "experiences" as TRUE.... this doesn't mean I engage in the "God, universe, whatever...." dialogue.... it just means that, like an AGNOSTIC, I KNOW, that I do not "Know"!! I also "Know", that YOU do not know..... I also know, that even though I "know"..... I might not actually KNOW!

Figure that out and get back to me, LOL!!

Astrology, past life regression, Reiki healing, meditation, prayer to God, prayer to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Psychics, Tarot, Angel Cards, Angels..... Crystals, Incense...lighting candles at church, talking to my invisible friends in the shower.....

Some of us do not need CONCRETE answers.... we are not scientific.... cut and dried... we are "open"..... sometimes grasping.... but we ALL know, it is peripheral.....we are not stupid, or easily duped.... but sometimes, you just want to see a psychic, damn it!! Sometimes what you hear is AMAZING and TRUE... and sometimes it is vague and irrelevant.... perhaps you haven't had the type of experience I've had, BUT, that doesn't mean it's not in your future.... and that could make all the difference in your perception... OR NOT.. it's ok by me!!

Hello

In defence of Honour, I found her comments useful to me (proof we are all different).  I'm in a different situation because I have allowed my life to be controlled by tarot/physics to the point where I can't/won't think for myself, I turn to tarot. 

Warrior:  Thank you for comments, I appreciate them  :),  but honestly getting my own tarot would not help me in anyway. I do need to let go and try going through this alone (so to speak), like a child who has their stabilisers taken off their bike.  Actually just sprung to mind is a story I read to my great niece on Sunday about a baby dear who's Mum was teaching him to let go and go through things alone.

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for commenting and for polling. It didn't phase me to learn that I was the 666th member.  8) I didn't take it to heart.

The only credence I would give to this *nonsense* :-X is that, through the years, I've realized that I fit the description of Pisces *perfectly* and he, a Gemini, fits EXACTLY the description of a Gemini. So that's all I can go on but even still I wouldn't say that it's absolute. Just interesting.

SpecialK, I'm glad that the advice Honour gave was helpful to you. Along the lines of what WarriorPriestess suggested, I wanted to recommend a site, that's *absolutely* free where you can try as many spreads as you like. Many people that I share it with really enjoy it. If you're interested, I can post the name of it here.

Precisely my point. Suggestion is a powerful force. The media has generated fear over a number. We need to take care with what we put in our minds. You don't believe in it, but it would make you uncomfortable. The power of suggestion at work.

When I was a boy our home telephone number was...666. When the phone rang we would answer it by saying "hello, six, six, six". In the context of what we are talking about now was either hilarious or spooky. There was no church-going in my family and no religious knowledge. It was just a good, short snappy phone number. I had no irrational fears about the number because I had not received that suggestion or programming. I didn't know of such things.

Kikki, in another thread you wrote an excellent response to my question "how do you acquire mental and emotional health?"
"Find a practice which works for you – be it a moment of quiet contemplation first thing in the morning, last thing at night or in the shower; or a more formal approach to meditation and visualisation." I agree with this. I think it is a good practise to actively put healthy thoughts into our minds. Reduce our exposure to "media frenzies" and the like, to take control of what we allow to influence us.

And it is interesting you say meditation and visualisation every morning and every night. I have read many times that psychologists etc claim the best time to influence your sub-conscious mind (emotions, mental health) is in the morning and at night. For the past thirty years my W's "meditation" every morning and every night was to read a "trashy" novel. You only have to dip into those things to see they are not hot on fidelity. Coincidence? Who knows? It probably didn't help.

The point of my post was not to attack stargazer. Not being a skilled writer myself it is not easy to convey one's tone of voice in the written word. My tone was one of concern for stargazer and specialk, I apologise if that didn't come across.

Hello

In defence of Honour, I found her comments useful to me

Proof, if proof were needed that I don't convey my tone of voice in my writing: honour is a "he"  :)

Prior to MLC, I had never had certain "experiences".... anyone who has followed along from the beginning, knows what "experiences" I am referring to.... I don't tout that my "experience" is a) TRUE or b) THE TRUTH... it is simply my experience, and by journaling it TRUTHFULLY, opinion be damned, others with similar "experiences" can share or relate to what I write.... I still would not declare my "experiences" as TRUE.... this doesn't mean I engage in the "God, universe, whatever...." dialogue.... it just means that, like an AGNOSTIC, I KNOW, that I do not "Know"!! I also "Know", that YOU do not know..... I also know, that even though I "know"..... I might not actually KNOW!

Figure that out and get back to me, LOL!!
I've got Donald Rumsfeld working on it.  :)

Thanks for the apology Honour.  Yes, sometimes it is very hard to convey exactly what we mean here on a message board.  Heck, even IRL sometimes lol.

Fantastic :)  This has been a mighty fine example between the difference between someone's INTENT, and others PERCEPTION of what was intended.

Very tricky with the written word especially.  I knew from your earlier posts Honour, that you're a MAN of HONOUR  ;)

Both me and my MLCer are aquarians. I'm sure I read a long time ago that we are supposedly very compatable but I could be wrong.  The OW is a Leo but I have heard through the grapevine that she is apparently 'on her way out'. Only time will tell.

Capricorns ( 10 ) have Cancers ( 9 ) beat, though. Am I reading that right? Two totally different signs, too.


Thanks for bumping this Warrior! :D

I'm not StarGG but you need more than the sun sigh to see the compatibility. sun, rising, moon, venus are the main thing, but you will need them all. well, to a more in deepth look.

overall, it makes sense capricorns and cancers most of the BS. capricorn means tradition, time, values. Cancer means family. so...
Title: Re: What Are Your Signs?
Post by: LeaveThePastBehind on November 21, 2011, 06:09:41 PM
I didn't even realize all this conversing was going on, lol. Annej is right. It totally depends on moon signs, rising signs and your signs under Venus. All of that determines how you both relate within a relationship. I'm not really an expert but I study these things just for fun.:) I'm just curious. :D


Leo and Capricorn sound good together, I think, but it depends on all of the above. To know all of those details... you have to get your birth chart done. You'll need both of your birthdays, time and location of birth and put it in a chart like this (http://astrology.about.com/library/bl_freeAstrochart.htm).

I am a cancer and H is Taurus. Supposedly a match made in heaven. We are also a perfect match in chinese astrology. I am a Pig and he is a goat. So if this is Heaven, I'd hate to see Hell.  :o

I once read we are very compatible....but maybe we need that more specific birth chart.
Hmmm.
Title: POLL what sun sign is your MLCer
Post by: Sunny on July 27, 2013, 08:15:18 AM
Hi all

I'm getting into astrology and doing charts and am interested what sun signs are most commonly those of MLCers. It may be that all sun signs can be MLC, but I suspect a few will dominate.


For the record, my MLCer is a Sagittarius

Just found this poll and looked at the results. Very interesting! Much as I expected with a strong showing from Sagittarius (my MLCer) and Capricorn. How typical that many LBS are Cancer too, very nurturing. My MLCer's OW is the exact same day of birth/year as H. Woohoo two saggys in the same relationship! Both soooooo messed up too!

I'm just learning astrology now, find it fascinating. Thanks to Star Gazer Girl for starting this thread.
