the truest signs of emotional intelligence is discernment. you may understand exactly why someone does what they do.
you see their patterns, their pain, their past, you can connect all the dots and see the bigger picture but you don't allow your empathy to override your self respect. just because you can understand why someone is treating you poorly doesn't mean you have to continue tolerating it. true emotional intelligence doesn't excuse hurtful behavior. it allows you to see someone's complexities while also discerning what's yours to hold vs what's theirs to heal.
at the end of the day, it's a win win. empathy without boundaries isn't emotional intelligence, it isn't love but it's self abandonment.
I really wanna do a deep dive into Aaliyah’s chart even despite not having an official confirmation or source for her birth time. I strongly believe she’s an Aquarius rising and when her chart is viewed through that lens, everything clicks.
Not true.
For example:
Moon synastry in the 1H is the type of relationship where you see each other for who you truly are, beyond the external. It’s a unique experience.
There are way too many combinations of synastry to whittle it down to just a few examples.
@martianblues One thing is for sure, the communication between you two flows naturally. This has potential to be lasting but you’ll need to actually have deep conversations beyond the superficial everyday things or it’ll drift into the mundane.
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal No one…no one said that. You’re projecting, big time. A nuanced astrologer would’ve said something to the effect of nothing is 100% good or bad and that the whole of the chart matters but sadly this isn’t a safe space for nuance.
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal “You folks love rape culture dynamic too much” and now who has the comprehension issue here cuz I’d like to know when I ever expressed anything to that point.
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal I don’t study traditional astrology solely. I blend different types to come to my conclusion. Vedic, traditional (Valens, Hellenistic), western, etc. Sex is simply an action which is what Mars rules. You can think of it as good or bad, that’s ur choice. But sex is sex.
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal Astrology is an esoteric study. It isn’t as if I’m arguing about medical practice with a doctor. Some of us have different perspectives and can see things from a bird’s eye view. You obviously cannot and cling to your definition of things because you dont like being challenged :/
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal Right, and that’s why I have a clientele of happy customers who come to me for MY view and perspective on all things esoteric. You see the definition of someone who is so thick headed, you can’t see the forest for the trees. May I never live to become what you are.
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal The OP quite literally stated that good sex isn’t ruled by Mars and I simply disagree. Good sex can absolutely be ruled by Mars, so can Venus, etc. it isn’t black or white. That’s what you seem to not be getting and it’s ironic you’re calling me out when you’re incredibly dense
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal Your understanding is shallow, narrowly defined and rudimentary. Mars is often associated with sex and there’s a general consensus by many astrologers with tons more experience and credentials to further support this. The fact that you cannot fathom the idea is quite sad tbh
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal It’s giving newspaper horoscope one sided astrology babes. “Mars= bad. Jupiter, good”. Astrology is far more nuanced and if you assign one meaning to every placement, you lose the beauty of true understanding. You can boo me but I’m right.
@2mudlinebone@aciddrill@libramoongal The fact is, I’m not wrong. Astrology evolves as I said. Imagine making such a boneheaded polarizing remark that Mars is *only* bad sex, completely ignoring synastry/compatibility. The lack of nuanced takes like this is what’s causing people to be turned off.
