   I love this post!

   I occasionally feel a bit spooked by an upcoming transit but for the most part my approach is similar to yours. Astrology sometimes helps me sort things out and understand people better. It is just a way of organizing things mentally for me.

   Astrology helps me understand myself better and I especially like to look back on things that happened to me using the astrology lense, helping me understand things in a new light - in the present this is more difficult because I get caught up on what’s going on with me.
   But I have to admit to feeling doomed sometimes - but that’s not the astrology effect, it’s just the way I feel about life in general (bad thoughts, I know!).
   That song is very appropriate.

   I prefer to look back with astrology rather than forward, Elsa I try to see how the pieces fit, with hindsight. Seeing that things do not always work out as per astro text books is quite comforting when an upcoming transit seems at all threatening.
   Nothing is threatening really, except paranoia!

   I use astrology as a personal growth tool to try to see myself as others do. While some people have trouble seeing Elsa, I have trouble seeing me. I never use astrology as a type of “weather forecast” that I adjust my life around.

   I use it as a guide. I religiously read what AstroBarry has to say every week, but that doesn’t mean I live by it (though I’m fascinated by the brutal honesty he writes with and also how everything he brings to light unfolds in my life).

   I also read up the different aspects of my chart (a lot of that is bc of you mentioning stuff here, so I go look at my chart and research what I find) and it’s interesting to see how all these bits and pieces really do reflect who I am.

   I will admit that I read my bf’s AstroBarry every week, too. Kinda helps me to figure out when to back off and when to push issues with him (like right now I’m backing off, and he’s surprising me :-)). HE doesn’t read astrology at all, listening to humor me when I bring stuff up. (But at least he listens, right?)

   I started getting into astrology after a painful breakup that caused more emotion in me than the relationship warranted. I wanted to understand why I overreacted, what was going on at the time etc, and the synchronicity of the predictions blew me away! it all happened the way Lutin, Barry and Elsa divined. Of course most astrologers say that these are energies that incite you, and not decide for you. Free will is the basis of society, sure, but so is our are natal chart are to a certain extent the basis of our character : “the cards we are dealt with” otherwise we all wouldn’t be here on this blog trying to understand ourselves and why “women always hate me,” or “i get into abusive relationships” or “fall in love with unavailable men.” Those are patterns-astrological, psychological, whatever. Patterns that we become aware of only after we make the same mistakes over and over again and the pain gets to big. So there is obviously something predetermined about our lives, with an added wiggle room and variation on the theme of course. The anxiousness I have concerning astrology is summed up from many of my personal conclusions as well as Elsa comments here. I find her to be very intuitive and insightful and asking the same of herself and the soldier. I remember her posts about the “marry him already” and her thinking things might not work out between them when she looks at their synastry chart. etc etc and various other sundries…
