Yeah when you get engrossed and kind of obsessive about the subject : you do read all kind of things!. And it makes you wonder !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.who is right and who is not!.!.etc!.
There are quite a few different theories out there!. It is not on here that we learn that much anyway!.
I understand what you are saying : Moon is entering Leo so am going to feel great!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.power of suggestion!. Hadn't you known that you might have felt crappy !!
"mercury is retrograde"!.!.OMG everything is going to go wrong ! So you kind of notice in your every day life what is going wrong without paying attention sometimes that the same events occur whether mercury is retrograde or not!. You start to pay attention to events, occurences which otherwise you might not do within normal circumstances!.
I still believe in astrology!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.but am refusing to let it "govern" my mind or blame the planets etc!.
I find my chart very true but all those things about south nodes, north nodes, little extras seem to mightily complicate the matter!.
And yes if somebody tells you : oh your mars is square Saturn or something!.!.!.you are bound to!.!.!.blah blah blah!.!.!.you believe it and it can become a sort of excuse for some!. Bit like hypnotising yourself!.
I am not into astro so much anymore for the very reason that I see people becoming too obsessed with it!.
Or you might be going through a crisis which is on itself good : you start to ask and ponder instead of just swallowing anything!. Being critical can help you on many levels : you might view astrology with a new eye and develop your own ideas instead of becoming a mere follower and believer and dismiss the crap from the good!.

Sometimes it seems fake because of people's interpretations of aspects, signs, and houses!. You have to remember that there are people just like you who decide that this planet in this sign square this planet in this sign means you will be like THIS (or whatever)!. There are core qualities, core forces to astrology, but people interpret them differently!. You learn through other people's interpretations - that is why it is excrutiatingly important to find a good astrologer's book to read, not stuff on the internet or those crappy books that are there to feed your ego!. It is also important to look at the different interpretations and try to combine them so that YOU understand what they mean!. Sometimes a person may explain an aspect or something that represents the forces they describe but it does not mean anything to you because you don't understand the underlying principles behind it!.
Knowing the planets and the signs is very important for your own understanding of astrology as it goes further!.
I know exactly how you feel, I've felt similarly when I've been reading different people's interpretations!. I, however, am lucky enough to know a very good astrologer who puts things into perspective when it seems like a load of crap is being spewed out!. This has made me realise that it is not astrology that is in the wrong, it is people!. Don't trust just anybody!.!.!. who's to say they even know more than you!? Astrology is subjective, it relies not only on learning but on intuition!. So, at times it really will feel like people are giving you suggestions to make you think certain things, and they actually will be, because they CAN due to the nature of astrology!. People exploit everything!. Just educate yourself, and then you can trust yourself and your knowledge without having to rely on others as much!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Awww your mind functions properly!. See, people put too much into astrology!. It's a guide, a suggestion, not a mandatory thing!. You have to remember that there are outside influences, and real life situations change things!. It's alright if you don't want to believe in it!. It's always going to be normal human nature for a person to have a doubt about something that is not tangible!. It's an abstract theory, if you can believe in it AND not try to live your life by it, or put too much into it, then astrology is for you!. If you are easily impressionable and you find yourself living more like what your planets/houses/aspects suggest, then perhaps you shouldn't read too much into it!.
It's kind of a dream state!. I love it, but I have to keep myself grounded because I know for a fact I could get carried away with it!. Just back off of it if you don't feel yourself into it as much anymore, nobody is going to hate you for it :)
Live your life according to how you want to live your life, not how a theory of planets, math, and science may suggest!. It's all good :)
*Edit* Astrology is kind of like a force, if you start reading into it too much you will find yourself acting like your aspects/house placements/signs instead of being who you really are!. It is merely a guide, once again, not a mandatory instruction booklet that you must follow!. It's more than just a Sun sign too, but if you don't want to believe it anymore, then peace out, I guess :)

Hm!.!.!. Now the you mention it I don't really think I ever have questioned astrology!. But I think this is because I've always wanted to believe it, always wanted it to be right!. After reading about my sign and loving everything about it, naturally anyone would want it to be true, eh!? Reading about compatibilities was the same way for me, because my boyfriend is Pisces and Pisces and Scorpio are supposed to be one of the best matches in Western astrology!.
This could actually go both ways, too!. You read things about your sign you don't like and so you don't want to believe it!. In some cases I know people who have tried their hearts out to change themselves so they can say, for sure, and honestly, that they are not this way or that way!. And if you are attracted to someone, like you were to that Leo girl but it said you wouldn't last you didn't want to believe that, either, did you!?
Astrology is a lot like religion, I guess!. You want to believe in God, (for example), you want him to help you, you want your prays to come true, you want his miracle!. You want to believe!. And so you do!. But then you start to question things a bit, after your prays aren't answered, your help as yet to arrived, and the greatest miracle to happen is that things didn't get worse!. And so you question your faith!. Your belief!. Your religion!.
This can be the same with astrology too!. Compatible signs actually don't work out and so astrolgy compatibility must be fake, eh!? You aren't a 100-110% like your Sun sign and so astrology must be fake, eh!? In these cases what people overlook is the birth chart, but you haven't done this!. Simply for you it's not working!. But tell me love, just what isn't working!? What doesn't seem to be real!? If you believe it is all "power of suggestion", then perhaps you are suggesting to yourself that it's not real!.!.!.!?
But without knowing what has made you question things I really don't know what to tell you, eh!? Except I will say this, love, think about what really got you into astrology, eh!? You said your friend told you Taurus was the bull, and you thought that was pretty "badass", as you put it!. But truth be told it isn't!. In all honesty love were you ever really into astrology or really believed it as much as you led yourself to believe!? People born into a Chirstain or Catholic family force themselves to believe in God and whatnot, but in all honesty how much do they, as individuals really believe!? You ever think you just forced yourself!?!.!.!.
I really don't know what to tell ya, love!.!.!. But I do hope this helps!. Much luck!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I never say that I believe in astrology!. On the other hand, I have studied it for many years and used it to my benefit with its accuracy!. If you feel that it is power of suggestion, then you have every right to that conclusion!.
I've felt the way you feel about many things in my life, whether it was religion, philosophy or being asked to agree with the big bang theory or string theory!. I have no problem understanding physics, and I have a degree in that subject!. But I never say that I believe in it!. To me, the word "believe" means to have total faith in something!.
I don't like all astrology books either!. And I'm not on this section to encourage persons to believe in it!. I'm here mainly because I like discussing aspects and comparing with the notes I've been keeping!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Astrology is part of who we are but genetics play a roll as well!. There are certain traits of the zodiac sign that we are that relates to who we are, and then other traits that are not like us because of our genetics or our upbringing!. I am a virgo and I am very critical like a virgo!. I am also very organized and cant stand to see disorganization!. my father is also a virgo and is exactly alike!. my son is also a virgo, but he is only 12 and organization is hard at that age!. Although he is very critical!. So I would have to say for the three of us to be alike, is it genetics or being virgos!. Certain traits may come out either way, or be emphasized!. My mother is an Aquarius and she is definitely a humanitarian like her sign says!. No one in her family is like that, and they are Tauruses, Virgos and Scorpios!. I do believe in the zodiac and read up a lot on it!. If you get ideas from it and not expect it to be true, then it can be very interesting to read about people and see how they match up!. My daughter and me are good at being able to tell what sign people are by there personality!. Its not fake but if people expect it to be true and its not, they may take it the wrong way and get mad at certain people for being something they aren't!. Have fun with astrology and only doubt what is proven wrong, don't doubt what could be right!. Take Care!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
hmm, i dont really know what to say man, if you dont believe in something anymore then the only thing to do is pack your bags!.!.
whether its true or not it doesnt really matter anymore!.
I believe in astrology with all my heart, and am personally 100% of it, i did see some of your questions about doubts!. dont you think its just you!? or your in denial subconsciously!? i mean you got this far didnt you!. youve even been defending your Taurus sign passionately (Aries moon), so was that for nothing!? i thought that was a sure evidence of acceptance for a second!. Ive been in your position before too and astrology started to get me depressed actually, but i just faced it and it also made me stronger
I just think this is a typical skeptic attitude, because they either cant handle facts or they just want to be in control of their lives, but you can be!.
like nattalie said, i suggest you learn more into it before you conclude anything, some people have just an easier time of grasping the concept of astrology some dont, like some people are good at math and some arent!.
just something to think about, if you think your better off without it then your better of without it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yeah, I don't take astrology very seriously!. It's only one of my hobbies and it's is all fun to me!.
Astrology put labels on people and astrology can 'so called' justify how you act in every way!. Which makes it less believeble in my opinion!. Plus, astrology has too many rules and probabilities so it makes it seem like it is always right!. Sorry, I'm not that gullible!.

i can definitly identif with what you are saying!.!. i always question things!. I think whatever makes you the happiest is hat you should beleive, if believing in astrology brings you down or limits you i thuink its time to take controlk of your life in a better way!.

i know what you mean, i haven't really been under the 'spell' [happy halloween haha] that astrology put on me when i first started reading about it
i can't deny that it's pretty accurate, but still, i refuse to believe that free choice and opinion is completely based off of the stars
that would feel too limited to meWww@Enter-QA@Com

HEY TACO BOMB!!
Have you learned about the different aspects yet!? How about the houses!? There is so much to Astrology then you think!.
I used to think the same thing like you, but when i found out more about Astrology, like the aspects with the planets, i found that what it said about was true! It wasn't about my personality, but my life in general!. It said that i didnt have a strong father figure when i was younger and that it would affect me as i grow older!. ( i forgot what aspect this was)!. But don't give up! Please! Astrology is a science and the more we learn about it the more we get from it!.

A simple way to put it, if you have doubt!.!.!.you either can walk away , or you stay and investigate further into your doubts and find the origin of your doubts!. Humans are great at living in denial , sometimes things that are so true about us, commonly the " ugly " things, we blatantly deny it but deep inside we know it is true!.
But if you think what astrology has told you is so far false, simply take a break from it!. When you are ready again to engage in the teachings of astrology , come back to it!. I think studying astrology yourself by reading alot of books and build up your own knowledge , that is the best way to learn!.
To Arch : psychology is hand in hand with astrology!. Philosphy is only true for individual who has lived and experienced it and Christianity also justifies itself over and over again by constantly adding and deleting phrases!. Believing in God is perfectly fine , but it is not so much of believing in the " presence" of a God, but the faith in yourself and the unknown force!. Astrology is the same, there wont be likely any tangible proof for it, but still for me , it is true!. What about everytime you get rewarded , or punished , or loved, or harmed by someone , then , would you use christianity to justify all that !?
Humans are complex beings, and I will refuse if there is any system that says " you have these 10 characteristics and only 10 , nothing more or less " !.Astrology isnt the factory where for every assembled product comes with a fixed number of characteristics , because that isnt free will!. Rather, astrology is a powerhouse , where everyone inherits every possible traits known , the only difference is the tendencies and how we express those traits!.And aspects, houses and replacements can surely tell us that , maybe what we have are not known to another human being, but only to ourselves no matter how much we try to deny it!. We tend to embrace the nice things that are said about us and discard the bad ones, that is common human trait!. But we know we all have bad traits and they are there , the good traits wont be " good " without the presence of the " bad " ones!.
And I agree with what Kristy B, Ro and Anti-Hero and several others said above!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
