&lt;div class="quote_from"&gt;Originally posted by BadzMaro:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="quote_body"&gt;So do u think u control fate by the balls ,
or you let it grab u by the balls ? Then you got your east and your
west. Both opposite in their ways but have some similiarities. So
which are you ? or are you trying to get the best of both ? the
most optimum solution ? I think u are more towards western.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since there is no end result out of studying it , why even bother ?
or is it the will and passion to go there and try , and look for
newer things within it to learn more ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But dont u think that looking through these 3rd house or 4th house
is pretty much like narrowing down the problem or situation down to
a more manageable size with a pre-planned outlook. So if thats the
case , using astrology will give me a MORE accurate outlook at the
particular individual in the business world ? lets say if its not
above love , because i think its pretty much the same because how
your relationship is , how u love can also show what kind of
character you are , at least generally.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Arrow" src=
"/images/emoticons/classic/icon_arrow.gif" alt="Arrow" /&gt; Actually
I have never thought of controlling fate or having an easier job
discerning a certain problem in that sense leh - perhaps that's
where you are thinking I am heading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seriously, it's very much for my own personal notes, not so much
about using it to 'resolve' any problem in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is not like I equate people's problem directly into astrology,
claiming that you are having this problem because of certain
astrological influence (although astrological reasoning is given to
me in that sense) - in fact, it's more like me understanding if it
is due to the reasoning that was given to me, circle that doubt
like how you would do in notes, marked it and use it for future
reference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the future, if someone with similar situation comes up when I
try to break their astrological DNA again, I'll see if I can find
some similar astrological influence/phenomenon that speaks of the
same rationale, then I will try to refer back to own my notes to
rewrite my discovery, change or add new pointers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do get stuck or simply, having to rewrite an entire notes just
because I realised something now and not before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that my knowledge in this art is limited because I
don't and is unable to devote much of my time to this. Which is
why, I will always refer whoever that PM me, asking me if I could
do a reading for them, to both Zacken or Oceanos, simply because I
am not a fortune teller. These two forumers are INTO this trade by
profession; I am merely in for self discovery and higher
learning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are asking me if that gives me a more accurate picture or
assessment of an individual; to me, if everything corroborate
astrologically, it merely resolve my own doubts from questioning
status quo of this ancient science. Take note that I am challenging
status quo of this science because I choose not to feed from what I
learn off books written by people ranging several hundred years ago
till modern days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When astrology tells me about the difficulty of marriage when
Saturn is in 7th house - my mind would want to see the 'real thing'
- someone with this influence, see if I get to speak with him/her
and try to understand from normal dialogue on why has he land
himself in such a situation OR if he has this influence, why was it
not manifested or how has his freewill made his life easier to
manage?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And why am I learning since there's no end to this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since when is there an end to learning? &lt;img title="Smile" src=
"/images/emoticons/classic/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apologies if we don't share this sentiment because I have always
thought that learning is forever. I always feel that I am
inadequate because there's ONLY so much I can discover or learn in
this short span of time here on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, I shall end my words here as I doubt this topic here is
appropriate for such discussion. After all, the reason why I remove
the previous guidelines is to clear all the chatting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for sharing Maro. &lt;img title="Smile" src=

alt="Arrow" /&gt; Love is [b]not&lt;/strong&gt; govern by astrology in any
ways - everything in life is govern by freewill, which sparks the
Law of Cause of Effect. Also western astrology merely reveals
tendency - not prediction, (although tendency not resolved will end
up becoming 'prediction') and it doesn't bind humans in any
ways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Western astrology believes that we are all master/mistress of our
own fate, which is very much different from Chinese Astrology,
where they believe that everything are very much destined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our blueprint in life, in which I refer to our natal chart, is
basically a mirror of ourselves. It doesn't ensorcell anyone's life
and has absolutely nothing to do with religion or even
spirituality. A mirror is basically a reflection - it doesn't hold
our soul in them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Western astrology is not a religion nor occult - in fact, it's more
of a combination of art and science in one. To me, like pretty much
like psychology, except you are looking from another perspective
with astrology. I will provide one one example; psychology will try
to determine the rationale of a person's personality profile
through understanding his/her early childhood (astrology will tell
you to look through 3rd house, it's significator, as well as the
aspect), domestic enviroment (astrology will tell you to look
through 4rd house, it's significator, as well as the aspect),
parental influence (Astrology will tell you to look at Saturn,
Moon, MC &amp;amp; IC, it's placing and aspects), etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Success? End result? I don't even think there is possibility for a
end result out from studying astrology - even with my entire
lifetime, this learning never cease because there's always
something new to learn. &lt;img title="Idea" src=

&lt;div class="quote_from"&gt;Originally posted by BadzMaro:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="quote_body"&gt;So basically you think or say its proven
that our love life in terms of karmic/benefic bonds and innate
qualities of self is governed by Astrology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A blueprint of a person's love life and even knowing him/her
personally. Then in order to get a more accurate reading u need the
person's precise birth details as in down to hour n minutes n time
of birth right? I believe in general profiling. Like i have
profiles of every individuals that works for me , with me and above
me. Only people i dont profile is people that do not have any
business relation.N its constantly updated cause somethings can be
wrong.Like statistics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I dont know about the laws of cloudism , but i know Freewill. So i
am just curious , will you always try to solve love or relationship
problems based on astrology and in doing so , dont u need a lot
more information and finally the most important thing is to know
the end result of how it went ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways i hope it will not affect your judgement in constant use of
astrology. Hope you find your answers. Cause i know some people
that uses astrology to the extreme. Although sometimes they are
close , but they can be dead wrong also.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I believe in the natural law of order. A scientific or physics
explaination is like every action has an equal and opposite
reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When one day you are really successful , let me know. I am very
curious to know the end result.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="quote_body"&gt;&lt;img title="Arrow" src=
"/images/emoticons/classic/icon_arrow.gif" alt="Arrow" /&gt; Our love
life is governed by three critical components. (i) Karmic/Benefic
bonds, (ii) Innate qualities of Self - which governs Physical,
Psychological and Emotional (iii), First Law of CloUdiSm -
Freewill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Real astrology reveals the first two components.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I believe that there is no other discipline closest to this that
could provide a somewhat decent blueprint of a person's love life,
even without the need to know him/her personally. The degree of
accuracy comes from experience and of course, precise birth
details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be honest, I am still very green in this discipline and I still
have many questions and doubts unresolved. But whatever
enlightenment I gain out of this, I have actually pen down in my
own book.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difference in my usage is that I don't do fortune telling - I
do relationship analysis through trial and error basis... to search
for my own answers and deeper learnings. &lt;img title="Idea" src=

&lt;div class="quote_body"&gt;will u attempt to solve ppl's problems

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Arrow" src=
"/images/emoticons/classic/icon_arrow.gif" alt="Arrow" /&gt; I don't
'solve people's problem based on horoscope', in fact I have never
attempted to 'solve' anything using astrology alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another thing is that, I have never solved anybody's problem -
people solve their own problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I merely post.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horoscope - which is a wrong term to address 'Sun Sign' - reading
is highly inaccurate. Without birth details and the creation of our
radical chart, there is absolutely no access to information about
one's life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I only analysis through birth chart to identify possible critical
aspects of love for my own clarification and research purpose...
and only when the occasion calls for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a general rule of thumb, I follow the AFA (American Federation
of Astrologer) code of ethics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I recognize that a precise astrological opinion cannot honestly be
rendered unless it is based on a horoscope cast for the year,
month, day, time of day, and correct geographical location of the
place of birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree not to render such an opinion without this detailed
information, unless the horoscope of the individual has been
rectified by accepted astrological methods, or unless I positively
state to the interested party that such conclusions are reached by
alternative methods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree not to interpolate or introduce into any astrological
deduction any interpretations that are irrelevant to the science of
astrology without first stating that such deductions are neither
based upon the chart nor identified with the science.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree to respect and hold inviolable all confidences placed in me
by consultation except where they may involve an act of felony or
treason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I agree not to use my identification with the AFA in any unethical
manner and will work to expose those who do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact, most of my meddling with astrology is for my own
personal research on Love and Relationship. &lt;img title="Idea" src=

      <title>Guidelines in Aunt Agony  replied by Yunhaier @ Sat, 30 Jun 2007 11:08:06 +0800</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GUIDELINES IN
AUNT AGONY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;I) Whenever possible, try not to post people's
problem.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If possible, introduce them to SGF AA and get them to post instead.
Firstly, it's not very nice to post people's problems in a public
forum like this? And even if they allow it, I believe that they are
still the best person to relate their agony?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;II) If possible, write more... describe more... and explain
more about your problem.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Some people like to post their problem without giving sufficient
information or leaving certain critical information out. It affects
people's advice, because certain critical information affects the
entire perspective altogether. Of course if there are things which
you are not comfortable in revealing, you can opt not to. Or better
still, you could PM some of the regulars, whom you can trust and
speak to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;III) You don't have to write very well, but here's two tips
that forumites in AA will be grateful for. Paragraphing and do not
alternative caps writing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Tip 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please paragraph if you are writing an essay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
E.g:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
this is embarrassing to say because i have never actually made
public in forums what i feel...i hope some of you can advise me
quite reasonably and sensibly to the following situation.I met this
guy through a girl friend of mine. I didn't feel anything towards
him at first sight because quite honestly he is not goodlooking but
pleasant enough. After he met me and we went out together(with
friends), he told my friend that he thought i was cute. My friend
is really good friends with him so she told me what he thought
about me. The thing is that the term "cute" is used very loosely
so....i don't know.. anyway, what happened next was he asked my
friend for my ICQ #. We chat occasionally but i realized that
recently he doesn't talk to me if i am online. Is he being shy? or
has lost interest? am i just being too paranoid about what he
thinks of me? Of course when i start a conversation with him he
always replies back but why doesn't he try to start a convo with me
first?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Tip 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do not attempt alternative caps writing style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
E.g:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PleAsE dO nOt wRitE likE tHat bEcAuSe It'S nOt OnlY dAmN bLoOdiE
IrRitAtIng, iT aCtUaLLy AffEcTs PeOplE's mOoD iN giViNg pRoPer
AdViCes. wOrSt wHen yOu CoMbiNe EsSay... ZeRo PaRaGrAphInG aNd
AltErNatE CaPs TYpInG... ChAnCEs arE, yOu aRe UsUaLly fLaMed uNtiL
yOu dO sOmeThIng aBouT iT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;IV) Aunt Agony do not encourage gender
bashing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Although it's a common sight in AA, like cats on the street - if
possible keep it minimal? Same goes for overly religious
discussion?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;VI) Topics out of hand, multiple entries or completely
irrelevant are at high risk of being locked.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If the topics is slightly off (non-AA related)... it shouldn't be
much of an issue (E.g. Mushy Gang Chat topic) - although this is
subjected to moderator's discretion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;VII) No hijacking of thread.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Try not to hijack problem threads by posting another problem in
someone else's problem thread. Hijack by crapping is not encouraged
as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;VIII) Aunt Agony ISN'T a replacement for professional
counselling.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Should you experience crisis that requires professional attention,
please call any of the hotline available &lt;a href=
"http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&amp;amp;thread_id=238593"
rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;IX) Every poster is ACCOUNTABLE for their own advice.
Likewise, every problem-seeker is ACCOUTABLE for whom they seek
advice from.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Aunt Agony is NOT responsible, should any
mishap/misunderstanding/misdemeanour that arise from specific
advice/s dispense by individuals. Aunt Agony is merely an online
forum for people to air their problems. Aunt Agony is NOT
responsible for anything OUTSIDE the boundary of Sgforums - Aunt
Agony. Specific individual is responsible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outside the boundaries of Sgforums - Aunt Agony include (but not
limited to): chat program/s of any sort (MSN/Yahoo Messenger/etc),
contact numbers (Mobile/Office/Home/etc), emails/friendster/etc,
personal address or any meet up in reality. The decision to diverge
private information or to accept private meet-ups are solely based
on one's discretion. Aunt Agony CANNOT be held responsible for
anything outside it's own boundaries as stated above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;X) To err is human - nobody is perfect.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Aunt Agony is a thankless job and do give credits to people who
have spent a portion of their time lending someone else a listening
ear. Nobody's advice is superior than another - what's more
important is the willingness to lend stranger/s on the other side
of Singapore, a viritual hand to lift him/her spiritually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;XI) Do not give out other people contacts.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Like phone number, email address. This is to prevent the person
from being spam, disturb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;XII) Telling of Age Group.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I guess alot of people will ask about the age group when you post a
problem. Telling your age group will help as other will know what
advice to give. Different Age group have different advice.&lt;br /&gt;
So do remember to post your age or age group espacially
relationship problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cheers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
