As most of you know, I had tickets to see John Edward in Australia last Friday night, which was something I've been looking forward to for months.

To be honest, I was a wee bit disappointed.

Now don't get me wrong, it was a fantastic night, but out of the thousands of people that were there, I think he read about ten to twelve people in total.

The opening started with those in the crowd asking John questions, and he is extremely honest and open, especially relating a lot of answers of a personal nature, which I found brave.

He then began to start his readings, but to me, if I was a sceptic, which I'm not at all, but if you were and you were in the crowd on that night, I honestly couldn't say you would have been able to walk away convinced.

After the readings came more questions from the crowd and after two and a half hours, it was finished, and I just thought hmmm, I don't know that I'd feel the urge to come again.

It just seemed a little bit flat, there wasn't anything that jumped out at you or sent chills down your spine or tears to your eyes. It just wasn't as powerfully convincing as I would have thought, but then again, on the T.V, there are editors that weave their magic, cutting through alot of the trivial stuff, resulting in a fairly polished end product.

I mean sure, I'd love to have a private reading with him, as I am sure that he is a very genuine, honest and caring man, but I honestly thought that there were too many people for a show of that nature. I'm not 100% sure of the crowd size, but nonetheless, there were thousands there.

I love John Edward, I honestly think that he is an enormous help to those that need closure or assistance with their grief, along with people like Elizabeth Klubber Ross, who I admire alot. These brave people, in my opinion, have enormous courage in dealing with subjects that others often dread and fill a definate void where others have feared to tread.

I know John has created a hell of a lot of debate while visiting Australia, so that in itself has been a good thing, as with a bit of luck, others just might have been inclined to step outside the squares they have been living in, or at least he may have been able to blow some stuffy assed cobwebs out of some small minded behinds, and if so, I say, fantastic!

My sister-in-law, my brother and me all party'd on afterwards, until hitting the sack ( or maybe I'd be more honest if I said we virtually crawled into the sack ) at 5:30 the next morning. We went out to an Irish pub first,need I say more!...... then another bar in the city and basically just run amok!

It was the biggest giggle fest I've had in years and we all had a ball, drank way too much and am still on a high from it, and are very much looking forward to the sequel............Danger

So, all in all, it was a very fun night and I'll always be a John Edward fan, so I'm grateful that I at least had the opportunity to see him, as I know there were tonnes of people who would have happily traded places with me, so I'm not complaining.

Oh, and by the way, I was not one of the people that John did a reading for, but that's O.K, as I tend to speak to those that I know on the other side whenever the need arises, so, in a way, I probably didn't need it as much as some would have

So there you have it, an interesting, fun, and extremely late and raging night was had by all.....so it was well worth it:starshine:

Thanks for listening, Till next time, may we all find Heaven on Earth.

Welcome AstrlGypsy! I hope you find as much enjoyment from sharing with the great people on this mb as I have. I only joined LL a month ago, but it is "different" from others I've either participated in or just read. There seems to be a genuine air of kindness and friendliness here. And this thread in particular, has been very comforting for me as a Lunar Scorp. It is amazing to find other people who react and perceive things the same way I do...and since I've been told I'm "too sensitive, dramatic, serious, intense"...etc. often enough to make me feel like an oddball sometimes, it's nice to get some validation for once, lol. I've also learned a lot from others sharing info about Moon in Scorpio. Anyway, good to have you here.

Bye for now

How would you personally feel if you could act or express how you feel every second of every day?

For me, contentment, security, 24/7 self-expression sounds very happy & VERY peaceful to me. But the way I see the world today, there is no way we could ever express our "self" all the time. It seems actually that in this world there is actually very little time we get to truly express ourselves, and those times are what we cherish; whether it's telling a loved one how you felt thru the rigors of your day, explaining to a friend what's had you upset for a week now, or maybe just being able to laugh outloud at something you found was funny but no one around you did, and maybe even writing a post in a LindaLand forum...?

Ask yourself. How many emotions do you have to bottle up a day because "it isn't the appropriate time or place"?? Would you feel better expressing them the exact time you felt them?

Of course, you would be in Utopia if you could do that and not be ridiculed. And the world probably wouldn't function if it were to be like this, my pisces moon has got me dreaming again...

Ice Mists, now YOU almost gave me a fright

When my post(s) first appeared, yours were not there, and now when I looked over the thread again, there they suddenly were, and in-between the posts that were showing even before! There are some funny things happening...

Anyhow, I think this thread is exhausted, and as my posts are not showing, I'm going to post my reply in the other Lunar Scorpio thread. See you there if this one does not work anymore!

Poops, (I thought I'd use your favorite icon )
that's a great story. Thanks for telling us how it was. It would be interesting to go to one of these shows just to see the reaction of the people. Personally I always find that far more interesting than the show itself. And to take in the atmosphere that is created by these mass gatherings. But I don't like crowds and mass hysteria. But this show that you went to actually sounds positive from the way you described it. Maybe you picked something up on some subconscious level, some positive vibe that you took with you on to the partying afterwards...

Mazz, welcome!!
How very true... Finally an astrologer with a Scorp Moon, who really knows what it's like.

AstrlGypsy,
no particular combination is particularly drawn to astrology, we are all pieces in the puzzle, every sign has its role in life and therefore also in astrology.
I'm not very advanced in astrology myself, I just studied it for a while back and forgot a lot in the meanwhile. If you want to learn more, you'll do that in your own way, the one that suits YOU best. As for myself, I read some books on astrology, everything I could get my hands on, and tried to apply that knowledge in practice (asking people what their sign is, their Asc., their Moon sign etc., and compare that to what I had already learned). Otherwise it's just like any other science and art: it's all about knowledge and practice (based on some talent and interest ). That's the best advice I can give you. Good luck!

Hey Lost Leo,
good to see you again!
This is a really good question!
But my lunar-emotion-ruled state is still quite the same and it was: NEVER carefree and happy. I'm desperately trying to make myself happy, but it seems that I'm just not made out to be that way. Misery is where I feel at home. Sad but true.

I think if I'd express all the emotions that go through me daily, I'd be in prison long ago for excessive use of force or violent behaviour, and if not, everybody who doesn't already hate me, would, because I'm not very pleasant when I'm upset, and I'm upset very frequently. And if I'd express all my positive feelings in the way that I actually feel them, I'd probably be put in a lunatic asylum with the rest of the loonies. And if I'd say everything I feel in the WAY that I feel it, people would be scared away from me even more than they are now. I think intensity scares people more than anything. It's uncomfortable and unpleasant and unattractive.
I'm fortunate enough to be able to express my feelings to my b/f, and even he can't stand them many times, it's too intense and I understand that. It's a difficult load to bear.
But to answer your question, I definitely feel better when I do express my emotions, but afterwards I feel very vulnerable and uncomfortable for bearing my soul to someone, so I do that only with people I can really trust. It feels like opening a wound and I just want to cover it up again so I can crawl back in my den and wait for it to heal by myself...

To answer your final question: "Would we be TRULY living in the moment if we could live in our emotions? As opposed to keeping them in us for hours/days/months/years where they can become twisted, repressed, unspent... to generalize, wasted..."

I live in my emotions, Lost Leo, and I keep them all in me, but don't think emotions are ever wasted. The emotional energy is the strongest of all, it survives anything, and it's all around us.

Hi Twinlady,
how're you holding up?

See you later! In this or the other thread...
