I'm just curious as to where all of the experts are that are supposed to be helping all of us out and giving us answers. Where are you all at? You all on vacation or just hit a lazy streak? Isn't this a website dedicated to helping other people with astrology? I think you guys need to get up off the couch and start giving some answers. Start doing your jobs. That's what I "think" at least. What do you all think? Do you have a logical explanation as to why you're not participating in something that you're supposed to be participating in?IP: Logged |

I think it's a forum for people who share a mutual interest in astrology to discuss and share their learning whenever and if ever they feel like it. You want expert-on-demand? Go pay the expert. People are not here to be expert-service for your questions, but to share what they like when they like. So get off your couch, and either learn on your own or pay the expert - leave people here to answer when they want, if they want. IP: Logged |

"Jobs"? lol no one here gets paid to do any of this work, they do it for the pleasure of helping out others. No one is under any obligation to keep this form alive unless they're getting some sort of salary. It all revolves off of charity. Why not pay it forward and chime in on threads where people could use some help? Your membership date indicates you've been around for at least a year. If people see you as a familiar face who often helps other, it could improve the rate in which you also receive quality replies when you ask for help too. Mind you, we're in the middle of a global pandemic where an unprecedented amount of people (in the USA, anyway) are under a lot of financial stress. Maybe shooting the sh*t about astrology isn't on their priority list right now. IP: Logged |

You're just an excuse maker anyways... excuses excuses.... actually as a matter of fact, lets touch on your little "pandemic" comment. I think people are more isolated now since we're in this "pandemic." So, people should be on their computers more than they normally would. … your logic makes no sense sir. haha IP: Logged |

Who exactly are these experts ... as my guess is that most contributors here see themselves as students.For example .... my mother knew more about parenting than Dr. Spock, but never considered herself to be an expert. If you request a reading ... those who feel able to contribute will do so - whether experts or not. IP: Logged |

If you want a full chart reading, then your best bet is to post in the "Personal Astrology" forum of this website. If you have a more general question or are asking about one aspect/placement in your natal chart, then Astrology 2.0 is the proper forum. No one here is paid to answer questions, so no one is required to help anyone. As others have said, if you have an urgent question and want it answered immediately, then you will need to pay someone. The catch with free forums is that you can't expect timely answers to your questions or even expect answers at all. When something is free, you are at the mercy of someone else's time and generosity. Did you have a specific question I can help you with? IP: Logged |

Yeah. Moon Quincunx Ascendant, Mercury Quincunx Ascendant, Mercury Quincunx Neptune and Uranus. Thanks. Also, what are your qualifications? I'll await your supposed supreme explanations though. (Supposedly) IP: Logged |

You are being far too kind. No one is obligated to do anything here for you or anyone else. It is all for fun, as a hobby. "Supposed to"? Seriously? You are not entitled to anything but you are giving off an exceptionally entitled vibe and it is very off-putting. Not sure why anyone would provide any help to you. I am going to hope this is just some odd way of joking....Dear lord, I hope that is the case. "Guess no one wants to tango. Ok, that's cool. I get it. No one likes honesty anymore. I get that.

"Moon qcx ascendant" = 144 questions ... Because there are 12 moon and 12 ascendant signs involved.Each of these 144 answers then have to be placed into the context of the houses in which the moon and ascendant are located ... So, another 144 questions about your initial 144 questions. ... A total of 20,736. So ... If (as you state) your not trolling, you need to be more specific in framing your question ... or accept that, if you cannot be bothered to do your "job" properly, you will get exactly what you have paid for (and deserve/have earned)- which is nothing at all. Being provocative can stimulate others ... but, behaving like an ass just turns everyone else off. However, that kind of "shooting oneself in the foot" may be an example of a moon qcx ascendant aspect. IP: Logged |

My qualifications? Astrology is merely a hobby for me. My degrees are in nursing and chemistry, which have nothing to do with astrology. I've been here since 2009. How to Tell Which Signs Are Quincunx : Skip this section if you don't care about how to tell which signs are quincunx. I included this section in case you or anyone else was curious. Two planets are quincunx when they are in signs that are 150 degrees apart. Planets that are in signs that are 5 signs away from each other are quincunx. The order of signs are as follows: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Example: Virgo is 5 signs away from Aries, so these two signs are quincunx. Another way to find the quincunx sign: pick any random sign and find it's opposite sign. The quincunx signs of your chosen sign is the sign right before and right after the opposite sign. For example, let's say you want to know the quincunx signs of Gemini. The opposite sign of Gemini is Sagittarius. Gemini's quincunx signs are the signs immediately before Sag and immediately after Sag: Scorpio and Capricorn. Interpretation of Aspects: 1. Moon quincunx ascendant: the moon represents your emotions and the ascendant represents the actions/behaviors you exhibit towards the public in general. When your moon is quincunx your ascendant, this means that you have difficulty in showing your true emotions to the outside world. People with this aspect keep their true emotions under a tight lid because they do not feel safe to reveal their feelings. You end up acting one way, but feeling a completely different way. People with this aspect end up not getting what they truly need from others because they hide their true emotions so well. As a result, other people will not truly know you on a deep level until you allow yourself to be vulnerable. 2. Mercury quincunx Ascendant: you enjoy learning and have a sharp intellect. You enjoy debating others. The main issue with this aspect is that you have difficulty with communication. Much of what you say can be lost in translation simply by how you say it. You also have a lot of nervous energy around you and are always on the go. No one can accuse you of being intellectually lazy! 3. Mercury quincunx Neptune: you have a wonderful imagination, but you struggle to be realistic. You may have these wonderful dreams and plans, but you may have trouble executing these plans. Be careful that you only promise others what you can truly (or are willing) to deliver. Also, make sure you are careful about who you trust. With this placement, you can easily deceive others, but others can easily deceive you. 4. Mercury quincunx Uranus:this aspect grants you a lot of intellect and you can think abstractly. The issue with this aspect is that you are egotistical, not tactful, and can behave strangely at times, which will push others away.

Thanks for the explanations. May I ask where you obtained these from or are they your own explanations? If so, I'm very impressed with your intuition as far as astrology goes. I've always struggled in life as far as my identity was concerned. I realize that you don't have a grasp on my entire chart, so you can't really evaluate it wholly. I just never knew exactly what "it" was that I felt like "disabled" me from truly being able to connect with others. I can talk and be myself around strangers all day, but when it comes to people that really matter the most to me. I've always felt that I've somehow been too guarded or screwed it up. I guess now I have the answer. I just don't know what to do about it. Should I just start being my a$$hole (smarta$$) self around people? What would you suggest? I'm really an a$$hole at heart, but sometimes I'll opt out of it to please other people. I don't like to offend the people I care about. This is the internet though, so I don't care what people think about me on here. I just want to take care of this problem in a real time setting, with my family and friends. I'm a hobbyist as well, but you seem to have a better grip on it as far as interpreting a wide range of aspects. What would you do if you were in my position concerning the Moon Inconjunct Ascendant placement specifically? Do you have any aspects that are similar? What is your Sun and ascendant if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for the help. I knew I'd spark some kind of reaction if I started reigning chaos within the city halls. It's something I'm quite good at. Damn these other people and their waste of time. They're nothing but groupies. I have a task at hand. I'm glad that you understand this concept. Thanks for the intelligent and well structured reply too. I can tell you're going to do well in whatever field you set your mind to. Nursing and Chemistry are an interesting mix. It sounds like a better use of your time rather than drinking beer while playing golf, which sounds like the only thing that "Travelman" does. Nothing but a mere groupie if you ask me. He needs to focus and worry about himself as well as mind his own business. (Watch him get all "pissy" though, I'll go grab some popcorn while I'm at it, because I think the plot is about to stir quite fantastically.) He is quite the cheeky fellow. He'll probably waste his time even more trying to come up with ways to proclaim his disgust against me since that's the type of person he is. Popcorn it is. What's your poison? I'll bring you something. Oh and I could never do nursing. The human body disgusts me. I'm going to school for Forestry. Let the games begin. IP: Logged |

If I were you I would tread water carefully. Your statements are also rather predictable now and you would do well to learn self control. Who cares if you think I'm an ass? Deal with it, or better yet, go cry about it. No one cares. Grow up. Also, your statements concerning 10 million different possibilities make no sense since you can answer my question based on the aspect alone. You don't need my specifics in order to unveil what lies intrinsically with "Moon Inc. Asc" as an example. I'll also exercise my God given free will to do as I damn well please, thank you very much. Who are you to tell me I can't be an ass? Yeah, exactly. No one. You're no one. This world is too messed up for someone to tell me that I can't be an ass. If you think I'm an ass then I invite you to go take a good look at the rest of the world. Leave me alone. Go make your own threads. If anything, I think you owe me an apology for the way that you treated me. Ok, now I've given you the attention that you've wanted sooo badly... now please run along dear lad. Go count your truffles. I think the dog ran off with one. "However, that kind of "shooting oneself in the foot" may be an example of a moon qcx ascendant aspect." -- Umm, perhaps? What's it to you? Why do you care so much about what I do? Are you somehow oddly fascinated and/or attracted to what I'm doing? I think you need to go see a psychiatrist if that's the case. It sounds unhealthy and sounds like a personal problem to me. IP: Logged |

It is not "honesty", it is just entitlement and obnoxious
I'm obviously just trying to get some blood flowing throughout this website. "Obviously" If you can't see that then I'd say that you're rather easy to trigger. Speaking of "obnoxious." If anyone is being obnoxious it's you for making a big deal out of nothing at all. I'm here to learn just like you. Com'on now. I know you're not that dense. Maybe you need to lay off the boozing, just a little? Also, you're right, Astra was being kind, and there's nothing wrong with getting some blood flowing either. Nor is there anything wrong with helping other people. At least I'm not trying to hijack other people's threads like you are. Others have shown that they can remain on topic so maybe you need to learn to do the same? This is an astrology site, not a "let's go attack this person's thread" site. This is quite literally the second time you've made a comment towards me that was personal and that had nothing do with astrology. I'm quite confused actually. Is anyone hurt? Is someone missing an eye or a limb? I'm failing to understand what I did to you to make you have such animosity towards me. Is it wrong for me to find things out about myself astrology related on an "astrology website" of all things? Hmm, imagine that. A person wanting to talk about astrology on an astrology website. That's just crazy isn't it? Entitlement? What are you on about? Are the drinks getting to you head or something? I have no clue what you're talking about. So, you're saying that we should all feel "entitled" for seeking help on this website? That's just an incorrect analysis on your part, pal. IP: Logged |

Without the experts I feel as if we're all just sort of floating out in the open sea or lake."Hey, Bob, what's that thing over there?" Bob: "I don't know, it's kind of hard to describe, maybe it's a buoy of some sort? Not sure." Whoever: "Oh, I guess we're both at a loss for words here because I don't know what the Hell it is either." Bob: "Yeah, I guess so man. It sucks..." I'm essentially just trying to locate the ones that can identify the "buoy" in a correct manner. Who are they and where are they? I don't have time to put my life on hold at the moment. Gonna be needing some clarifications and answers here. IP: Logged | |
