** What made you guy´s interested in Astrology? ** - Discussions, questions

IntoTheVoid Learning about how the Moon affects women and their menstruation cycle really proved some aspects to be ´real´ to me, so I dove in to studying my vedic chart first and found more and more resonated... and so on. Ironically, about a month before I remember getting into astrology, I was at a book store looking for a birthday present for my mom. My boyfriend at the time brought over this book on Astrology and thought she might like it, so I bought it for her. Fast forward a month I´m sitting on the couch with cramps looking up how the Moon plays into my monthly cycles. (It would have been Cancer season, so Sun would have been transiting my 9th house, and I was going through my Jupiter return in the 1st house) Nicole Brenny has a variety of great youtube videos that really inspired me to get into astrology further and study on my own.

marcojacko mine is simply just out of curiosity and quest for knowledge

Ladeeda I´m interested in anything relating to personality characteristics, personality types. Astrology is just one of the things that answer those questions for me.

I try to see what applies and doesn´t.

Del I like to know stuff.

Crowleys Disciple I got introduced to astrology through a club / group I joined.

I joined a club that studied esoteric topics. Members I met were at one time or currently in magic cults/ groups. A mentor I had in that group told me he was at one time in the OTO and he practiced both white and black magic. He also was in the Hermetic Order of Golden dawn, Temple of set, AA, Brotherhood of Light and said at one time he joined satanism clubs...but he later changed his religion to buddism. He introduced me to astrology and revealed to me my sign: scorpio. I was in my 20s and before that time never studied astrology and didnt know my sign.

My mentor believed that he had previous lives and he could astral travel to other planets, times, dimensions. He said he was psychic and could read my thoughts. He said he came from a family of psychics and he had the power to stop time. He practiced Tarot and taught me a little. He said aliens had visited him, he said he was an alien in his previous life. He taught me about vibrating the body and he said through vibrations he had the power to do almost anything. He warned about vibrating he said in OTO he accidently burned down a building by vibrating wrong way. He had like 5 previous lives he said and had pictures he drew on the wall of all the past people/aliens/creatures he was.

I will add that he was a big fan of The Book of The Law and Crowley and introduced me to that as well. I did join The Church of Satan before any of this happened at the age of 18, but I was not active in in it at that time...I just sent the money in mail for membership.

I also may have ... or I may not have joined the same groups he was in. To keep my personal life secret somewhat I will leave that up for the reader to believe or not to believe.

I thought my mentor was a little looney and I did not believe a lot he told me, but he was my mentor that introduced me to astrology.

Linnealaur My mother was the one introducing me to astrology...we used to explain my shyness when i was younger with my pisces sun(: I have resently discovered just how much more complex, precise and detailed astrology (birthcharts) can be and I have found the answers to so many of my questions regarding my own being and my closest relationships.. (with some harsh truths right in my face ) and i feel like i have only just started to scratch the surface of this seemingly neverending subject

IIyyaarr13 Just a natural at pattern recognition if I have to grease my own wheels!
What I avoided reiterating in Rohini´s thread is rebelling against the strong personality of my past-life.
So there is ´forbidden fruit´, "taboo"

My example has nothing to do with impressing though (but I did anyways)

Aiax66 » Toker Ahahah, I can relate to this attitude.😂 I think It works well, even if sometimes It requires a great effort. I studied art history just to impress a girl once.

dani_mae1 I thought a while about what drew me to astrology and I think I was looking to understand myself and others better. I always used it as a tool even as a pre teen, granted back then it was just sun signs, to dissect my friend’s personalities. And I’d tuck away into my mental database what traits were true and which were not. Never really understood why I wanted to know more at that age, it wasn’t till I was older that I realized I was utilizing it to try and understand the human psyche in order to heal some things on my own end.

dontkillyourfuture When I was dating someone they were interested in it, I never knew anything about it apart from the fact I was a Gemini. My understanding of Gemini´s was that they were chatty people, which I am not. So I always thought Astrology was nonsense. Anyway, the person I was dating talked to me about it. I was very sceptical but quite liked hearing them talk about it. I looked into it and started to believe in it more, but I have always had my frustrations- why so many house systems? Why is it saying I´m meant to be successful in career when I am not? etc etc. But if it wasn´t for this person I never would have persisted with it. They dealt with all my annoying questions and my general outbursts stating that Astrology was rubbish. It´s been quite the journey because I would even consider studying Astrology now.

light » nickquan123 That´s weird because you don´t have any planet in gemini .
Some people have told me that I don´t fit my sign either, some others that I fit it completely. It´s amazing how different you might seem to different people´s eyes.

nickquan123 » light I did a guess what my zodiac sign is sorta like a personality quiz and And i always got back Gemini. A few people thought i was a Gemini in person i was like

nickquan123 » Toker Yup Venus in libra kinda revolves around pleasing their partner ima Venus in leo i love looking good and showing off with my romantic interest

nickquan123 » RunnerChic85 Sounds like me and my mom basically lol I’m a Virgo with heavy fire placements and my mom is a Virgo with heavy Virgo earthy placements Im more of a fair balance person who goes with the flow a lot at my own beat while she’s more grounded business oriented and the center of attention ( Leo rising )

For me it was someone I was flirting. She was into Astrology and I was totally against it. I never cared about Astrology until then. I have this habit of mine to like the stuff my "romantic target" likes. Not something done consciously, I just like them. I got into it very rapidly and it became the favorite topic for our conversations. Venus in Libra

light I always loved personality quizzes and astrology to me seemed like a personality test that I didn´t have to answer 300 questions in order to get the results .

RunnerChic85 Most of my life I knew about the basic sun-sign astrology, and read my horoscope when there was something big going on, hoping for the best, but not 100% believing. I did have a few that were ironically accurate though.

Last summer, I got a random email saying “get your birth chart” and it wanted me to enter my exact birth time and place. It said it would give me accurate info “beyond my sun sign” with all the planet’s in signs in houses. I thought I’d try it just for fun. Well, after getting my birth chart, I realized how accurate it actually was for me—my planetary placements in signs, in houses, and aspects, explained a lot of patterns, tendencies, and my personality. It’s turned me from a skeptic into a believer. I have learned a lot about myself in the process and believe I am becoming a better person because of this knowledge.

Interesting about the months...I don’t know much about Virgos, barely have any Virgo traits, but I can relate to what you’re saying. My brother and I are both Leo’s—he’s July, and I’m August, and we’re both different. I’ve done some research there, and didn’t find much, but our charts say a lot. He’s heavily influenced by Aries, me by Libra with my moon and current progressions.

nickquan123 » Fallen_Mage Lol curiosity kills the cat but the rabbit hole goes deeper

nickquan123 » Whispymint I totally feel that yeah i did lol I’ve came a long way from them. Basically i guess it all plus a role with your inner planets like for example me being a Leo dominant Virgo May think differently to a Virgo who’s a Virgo dominant or a Virgo with libra dominant planets etc etc. To me it’s fun dissecting others chart’s especially celebs 🤩

IIyyaarr13 The months are Calendrics and not fair!
February is a Lunar month pitted against eleven Solar months!

Whispymint Nice :) have you come to any thoughts on whether there is a difference between those or did you just discover the other planets and houses? I got interested in it because it was a way to explain the world in a way that was non-empirical which I liked as opposed to my education in science. I wanted to explore something beyond the rational and I think Astrology expands past the boundaries of the purely rational and empirical which I like and value.

Fallen_Mage Sheer boredom, honestly. I started looking into it out of curiosity and well, one thing led to another...
