Reply #21: Pallas, you gotta remember we didn't get our seperate forums [View All]

when we began this one from the MR...we had hoped to get seperate categories, but Skinner felt that we should "condense" what we wanted into one. We even had our description of "metaphysical" removed when a certain DU contigent threw a hissy fit....

SO ...we are not just the Astrology forum.....and really , aren't we here to chat/learn/share about what people are interested in? Whether we necessarily think its the right direction or not, there you have it. Its the posters here who keep things going or let threads fade.

And please, I do take exception about the "psychometry" readings. I have studied astrology for over 30 years...yet still when I see a chart, I get "hits" on it - thats how I "read" charts. Analyzing the aspects etc etc is simply not the way my brain works...which is exactly why I don't call myself an astrologer. I resent the fact that you seem to feel astrology has to be done your way or the highway. Simply by being an astrologer you should understand that not everyone gets it in the same way or even has that inclination to study...yet they may still have enough of an interest to ask questions in a less formal place like this forum....and by sharing & informing, I imagine there is also some "educating" happening at the same time,too:)

Fact is..some people don't want to take the time or don't have the time to study astrology...sometimes we just want someone to give us an answer or point the direction...to get it the "easy" way. There shouldn't be a judgement about that. Its up to us whether we want to share the knowledge .....one either replies or doesn't. Unless its "leglislated" from on high, we really can't control what folks ask/post here.

This forum is a group on DU...this is NOT A PROFESSIONAL ASTROLOGY SITE. We are mega mega blessed to have all the wonderful astrologers (& professionals) here that we have. (Big thanks guys :loveya: )

Again, JMHO that it's everyone's choice to answer or not answer any and all questions posted here- personal or otherwise.
