Well see, i'm going to stay here, but in all actuality, every time I ask for an interpretation or a personal or general question that has to do with either me personally, something i'm thinking about, or someone in my life, no one helps me. And i think to myself, are people this selfish, that every time i start a thread, it has to be about EVERYONE. I understand that its rude and unattractive to talk about yourself all the time, but in truth it has to be a balance, a give and take relationship on this board.

And I don't feel that balance, i feel i'm giving and giving and i'm not equally receiving.

And i know there are people on this board that feel the same as I do, because i'm speaking from my soul.

But , sorry if it was me and you thought I was being rude.

For example, the DC madam thread. There was a question attached to it along with the thread about some advertisment. That doesn't interest me. I don't care to answer about some madam that got busted along with her johns. Big deal, the world goes on. Same with the ad, I don't find it interested nor astrologically important in a time when we are at war, our political environment is at an all time high and I have other issues to deal with.

So I pull back unless I find something that peaks my interest. If there are others like me that feel the same way (and I know there are) then they also abstain from answering questions or posting.

The other issue may be your sheer volume of posts constantly asking for answers, interpretations etc... Many don't know which one to answer or what is important to you and if they are ALL important to you, then you will have a problem getting valid interpretations or answers. A person could spend hours just on your questions which are often convoluted (that is not an insult). When you ask how someones part of bathtub relates to their part of kitchen sink combined with Venus along with the asteroid cookie monster-- well, most of the newbies here are blown away and traditionalist think you may be bringin way to many variables into an interpretation.

I realize that you are trying to "learn about and find" yourself. That is a very mature thing to do, at the same time, keep in mind this is a quest for the individual, posting that you have changed career options once again doesn't mean a whole lot to many people. That doesn't mean they aren't caring, it just means they have their OWN quest they are following.

Some here are experiencing divorce, death, health issues.. on and on... we lost a very important person not long ago (Rainbow) and that really hurt ALOT of people as well as caused an emptiness in our posting.

People have to mourn, work out issues.. on and on..

They are not here to be your personal answering service.

If you want to leave, please do. No one is keeping you and no one is pushing you away.

Glaucus is missed, he contributed tons to the board, yet he too often cried wolf and threatened to leave. I believe there were underlying issues and he is happier in his choices.

Good luck to you and your decision.

Let's look at a few of your recent posts.

Drugs, Alcohol, & the Natal Chart
You start off by saying that the thread is for 21 year olds and older, and yet you're only 16. So already we're off to an offensive start. Then you dictate a bunch of placements including asteroids for which you never get much of a response. (I don't think anyone here would claim to be an asteroid expert) Then in the end, you ask about smoking, which is illegal for you to be doing.

People don't respond, because they're just going to be rude to you if they do. You're 16. Don't consider smoking! Period. It's a stupid, bonehead move no matter how little you start off smoking. If you were an adult, and a 16 year old was asking you about smoking claiming that they were just going to do it every so often, what do you think your reaction would be? The thing is, as an adult we all know you're going to do what you're going to do regardless, so why waste our breath?

In Can Someone please give me an interpretation? you ask about synastry in a rather cryptic way, and then state that it's from a progressed composite chart. I don't know about you, but I haven't seen many people around here working out synastry off a progressed composite chart. If no one uses those, why are you expecting to get answers? You are fortunate that Coral humored you.

In D.C. Sex Scandal - Madam Palfrey... you state:

"i don't know where she (palfrey) got those girls from, but my clients (not many) will be paying me 3,000+ a night,...so high? well maybe thats because i'm going into the fashion industry, well...

To make a long story short, i would never settle for, who did they say were clients? Lobbyists, Bush Administration workers, White house officials,? I would never settle for them paying me anything less than 1,000 a night, and i'm still puzzled by why these women are getting paid so low? don't they know how to network and rise above the system? or maybe their just not good enough."

That's freaking disturbing coming out of a 16 year old. This is the kind of thing that alienates people from you. And this isn't the first time you've talked about being an escort.

Canada bans Chanel commercial
First, who cares? Not a lot of people apparently. Secondly, Dulce answered you quite appropriately: "Because if it is marketed primarily to women then why the hell would we want to see a woman in her birthday suit? I mean why does sex have to sell like 24/7, I'm getting so tired of that ishhh."

Great post and great points. I read through the other threads after I has posted a response. I feel the same way concerning a 16 year old asking which drug would be better to use.

Neptune,

Like AG said, you are a minor and you are eliciting advice from adults concerning breaking the law. It is illegal for you to purchase tobacco and it is illegal for us to give you advice on the usage of drugs or alcohol as it relates to contributing to the deliquency of a minor.

I too have noticed about your constant references to being an escort, paramour or mistress. It is disturbing to read the words of a minor that states she would know how to negotiate a higher rate for prostitution.

You put us into difficult situations that would sometimes cause us to break our moral codes should we answer your questions.

I agree with AG, you alienate yourself and I am sorry if that hurts and causes you to leave.

1) There are about a bazillion other people who ask for interps too.

2.) Like Pid already said, people have lives. We're all going through sh#t just like you. Some people are experiencing loss of loved ones, others are temporarily or permanently seperated from them, some people have school and finals coming up (like me for one), some people are caught up with work, or others are just living life outside of the internet.

3) Not alot of people are qualified to answer your interps. As AG said, the subject of Asteroids is a new one. Maybe you could get an answer from someone like IQHunk, I don't know. But alot of the times you ask about interpretations for asteroids that nobody has really ever heard of before.

4) Astrology should not be used to dictate your every move in life. Take for instance the Alcohol thread. You wanted to know ,looking from your chart, the effects of smoking on your health? Sure its true that astrology can point to someone if they may have the potential to be predisposed to drugs or alcohol but you definitely don't need astrology to tell you what the effects of smoking will be on your health.

5) The Content. Yes, when you talk of things like being an escort in such a glamorous way it is going to be disturbing to people considering your age. Because people think you are seeing the whole thing naively through Rose Colored glasses instead of looking at it objectively like you should.And then no offense, but sometimes you seem to value superficial things like looks,sex, and cash above all else which some people may either be disturbed by, or even a little annoyed. Maybe its your age, I know alot of my peers were like that when I was sixteen (they might be still like that now), but consider that maybe there is more to life than those 3 things.

On another note, I've seen you ask about more reasonable things like what direction you should take your career in, and I have seen people readily give you suggestions based on that. So I don't think it is you that is the problem but maybe it could be just what you are posting and take into consideration the 5 points I mentioned above. I'm really,really, really trying not to offend you here but I also want to point to out the truth of the matter like everyone else above me.

To use AG’s example, there are just things that don’t interest some of us –

Neptune, I’m a single mom with a full-time job. I come here to offer *real* help to people who are distraught about traumatic happenings in their lives, or to share a few laughs with friends. I would consider it a GIFT if anyone gave me their time, effort and thoughts about a question of mine. You are such a bright young lady, but your interests are not my interests at this time of your life and mine…..

Nobody is knocking you as a person. We just don't always respond to various posts for reasons already stated. I think you are a typical, young Saggie lady with alot of questions on her mind. Somethings may be misinterpreted, but we aren't looking down on you.

I must add though, when you are frustrated, it is okay to voice those opinions, but threatening to leave doesn't sit well with people, especially since it has been done before- several times.

Many of us have taken breaks from LL for various reasons. Normally we just send a shout out saying we need a break and will be back. If you truly want to leave, then I wish you the best. If you want to stay, then great, we're more than happy to have your presense.

To be honest with you Neptune, there's something in your vibe that seems very unbalanced to me. You don't seem very calm or at peace with yourself. I think you need more consistency in your life so you don't jump from idea to another, mainly when the ideas you have, are set to be detrimental and hurtful to YOU long term.

Pisces can give you a sense of identity loss.. You need something to hold on to when you wake up in the morning and forget who you are and where you are.. and most importantly why you are. You need something physical (and earthy) to settle into, so you don't get lost. Sport is great for grounding and structure imo.. but maybe you don't like any sports .. so something fun like dancing or art – painting, working with clay, playing a musical instrument? - a hobby you could do consistently.
