Are You Abstract / Spiritual Or More Scientifically Minded?

Astrology in Real Life…

piscesThe Soldier and I were talking. The current Saturn Neptune opposition is lying across the Asc/Desc axis of our composite chart so the Hall of Mirrors rules.

“We’re opposites, P,” he said.

“You think that? I don’t really think that. I think we’re very similar. How are we opposites?”

“Oh, well you’re abstract. And I’m… I don’t know the word for it. I’m scientifically-based I guess you’d say.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. I’m a scientist and you are a spiritual person.”

I didn’t say anything because I thought he had it backwards. But then again…?

Are you abstract or scientific?
Are you sure?

    Both, yes I’m sure. It depends upon the subject matter. Some things are best dealt with scientifically and some best dealt with abstractly or spiritually. It depends upon what method works best to grasp and manipulate my understanding of a situation, method, concept .. etc.

    Well, with enough water to float a boat in my chart–much of it Pisces or 12th house–but Pluto conjunct Uranus in Virgo in 3rd…

    Let me analyze this question. I’m certain I will intuit the answer soon.

    :P

    how about now??

    Absolutely definitely both. In my daily life I am a political scientist - so that’s the science side for you: I am good at analyzing the world. But when it comes to the ‘real’ questions of life I do not believe in narrow rational analysis - if you stick to ‘facts’ you do not even come close. Though maybe I would say intuitive more than spiritual.

    You’re not abstract. You write about real people and their real issues. It’s maybe that there are other things that are more real for your Soldier? Are you sure it’s not him that’s more likely to be abstract?

    I’m either a very grounded psychic or a very intuitive rationalist. So my answer is yes. I am abstract and scientific. :)

    Elsa, I’m with you and Dharmaruci, I think the Soldier has it backwards. :-)

    Dharmaruci and Michelle - I thought he had it backwards but then he gave me a “for instance” and where my thinking was clearly and utterly metaphysical and his view was rigid. And though his opinion was utterly based in fact, I still thought my magical view was correct although it seemed pointless to argue. (Mercury opp Mercury)

    I thought at the time if we were meant to find out which way things would play in the circumstances given, then the scenario would constellate in real life and we’d see who was right… which is spiritually-based (fairy) thinking right there.

    But he seems completely unaware that he has magical thinking himself. He thinks magically all the time (I think) but it is unbeknownst to him. If you asked he would tell you that he is all about right and wrong and dogma… he is a scientist. And then one minute later he contradicts himself, which is pure Pisces, yes?

  9. saggal says on 4/20/07 at 8:56 am:

    Haha, yes pure Pisces. I am the same (pisces rising). I am a combination of both, I do numbers for a living, very rational, very non-magical but as for everything else? It’s all grey.

  10. Dharmaruci says on 4/20/07 at 4:33 pm:

    Like the friend with an Irish father who’s living in England, asks him “Do you believe in fairies?” “No of course not, it’s completely unscientific. Besides which, you don’t get them over here!”

  11. L says on 4/21/07 at 5:06 am:

    I’m scientific (rational) minded when the situation calls for it. (Mercury in Virgo, no aspects except a trine to Cap Midheaven.) However, considering my chart has no water except for Neptune in Scorpio, I’m a very spiritual being and always was. I figure that’s because I’m always questing for the element that’s missing in my birthchart.
