News

When I first told my friend about this, they said that I should continue to run this blog as it's just a casual bit of fun. But I can't. I can't run this blog anymore.

Anyone who has followed me, and especially those who have seen the posts that have been written by me will know that I believed in astrology and I took it seriously.

But I don't believe in it anymore.

When someone asked me to describe their physical appearance via their star sign, I thought it was a ridiculous question. But it got me thinking, "If I don't think I can guess at a person's appearance by their birth chart, why should I be able to know a person's personality because of it?".

There's a certain implicit arrogance in using astrology that way, I feel. I don't know any of you. The personality of each person is a rich and complex tapestry forged by your life experiences and the way your brain has reacted to them. But since I don't know the story of any of your lives, I have no right to claim to know you just because you told me where the heavenly bodies were when you were born. I don't have any special powers.

Furthermore, astrology is manmade. For instance, humans decided Venus would represent love and interpersonal relationships. But there is nothing inherent about the planet Venus that links it to love. And it has had other associations. The Maya used Venus to know when to go to war.

Another, more personal thing is that astrology is something that has limited me before. As soon as I know a person's sign, if it's not one that I am compatible with, I would think "Oh, our relationship will probably not be very close. It might even be a bit superficial", or "Oh, you're probably not a very deep person". This latter sentence is so arrogant it almost sounds ridiculous. Astrologers would rightly point out that that's not the point of astrology, but for me and the way my brain works astrology has been a limiting force, and I wonder what friendships I could miss out on, or indeed had been missing out on, with such a thought process.

Now, as I said before, I did believe in astrology, I took it very seriously. And I have enjoyed running this blog while it lasted, and I cannot thank you enough for having come along on the journey. But my conscience won't allow me to run an astrology blog now that I don't believe in astrology anymore.

I don't know what I'm going to do with this blog anymore. I might leave it up but just do nothing more with it, or I might delete it, but either way, please do not contact me to try and change my mind about astrology:

For one thing, I am not trying to attack your beliefs in astrology. If you believe in it and you can make it a positive thing in your life, then by all means continue. Since I once believed in it myself, I won't mind if you do. I don't consider you ignorant or unenlightened. It's fine. It's out of respect for your belief in astrology that I don't want to continue actively running an astrology blog anymore. To continue running it would be cruel and deceitful (in my opinion).

More importantly, my newfound disbelief in astrology coincides with the culmination of what might be the end of something that has caused me a lot of mental suffering. Therefore, the fact that I don't really believe in astrology anymore is something that makes me feel liberated and optimistic for the future. If you really care about me, you will allow me this new freedom, a freedom that I haven't felt for a very long time.

Finally, astrology is something that has been with me for most of my teen years. I became interested when I was 13 (I am 18), so it's not like part of me isn't sad about what has happened. It has been a constant part of my life at a time when my thought processes were constantly changing and my emotions were all over the place.

But it is time for me to move on, I think.

I will miss you,

And thank you for coming along,

But I cannot run a blog about something you believe in if I myself don't believe in it anymore.

From,

[firtreeastrology]

heey blog sick af ♥ I was wondering could you describe me, im aries with a scorpio moon,libra rising and cancer mc. Thanks a heap and much love xox

For some reason, I find your way of starting your message to be very typical of your sign combination XD

Aries with Scorpio Moon seems like a pretty intense combination. I imagine it would be quite exhausting to have this combination. Everything probably feels like a battle of some sort. At the core with Aries Sun, you have someone who is spontaneous and ever-moving, quite restless and hard to keep up with, and yet you have a Scorpio Moon which adds a melancholic, in some cases macabre air to this. You might latch on to an emotion and obsess over it for a very long time, same with crushes. You may feel easily hurt though not show it. The funny thing is that with a Libra Rising people probably don’t know much about this intense internal battle, because you appear gracious and calm to people. Your Cancer MC means that you are very attuned to the emotional atmosphere around you, but your own mood, in line with your Aries Sun and intensified by your Scorpio Moon, might change a lot.

You’re very welcome, and thank you ^_^

[firtreeastrology]

How do you picture a pisces sun, aries moon and gemini rising woman physically and mentally? Also, who would be a good partner for her and for what qualities should she look in a man? Thankyou for your time! ^

Well, I don’t think it’s possible to determine one’s physical appearance by astrology. I mean, sure, certain body parts are attributed to each of the signs, but I really don’t think it’s reasonable to say that someone is going to look a certain way because of the stars. Your appearance is determined by a mixture of genetic and environmental factors. For instance, the typical depiction of my sign, Capricorn, that I see, is that Capricorns are all quite bony-looking, with black hair and dark eyes. But I have blond hair and blue eyes (genetics), and I’m slightly chubby (in my case, environmental, though some people might have glandular or metabolism problems, for instance).

So, I won’t answer what I think you look like, because I don’t think that’s possible for me to determine just by your sign combination.

But, as for your internal world, I imagine someone who is very jovial and bright, with a lot of energy. A rather “live-and-let-live” attitude to life. You probably come across as witty and/or intellectual, which comes across from your Gemini Rising, and it probably isn’t always immediately obvious when you’re sad. At the core of your being, you are a dreamer, you flow freely, and you wish everyone could just get along. You see so much goodness in so many things that it feels a waste when people argue and cause each other trouble. However, since you have Aries Moon, your emotions are passionate and intense, though they may fade quickly and change a lot.

A good match in my opinion would be either an Earth Sun Sign or a Cancer Sun with an Air Moon Sign.

You should look for someone who doesn’t get jealous too easily, someone who won’t cling too much (which is why Cancer Sun with an Air Moon Sign would work, I think. You get the same basic ‘Cancerian-ness’ but the Air Moon gives his emotions a sense of rationality and freedom, thus toning down the clinginess.)  Maybe Sagittarius would be a good Moon Sign for this also.

You’re welcome ^_^

The Water Signs - An Analogy

Cancer: This sign is like the seashore, with rockpools and lapping waves against the beaches. There are tides that change like the ever-moving emotions of the Cancerian, and it is a rocky, protected area. However, there is also sand to relax on, in an area that is charming beautiful and nostalgic for many. Scorpio: This sign is like a cold, polar ocean. You have to be careful navigating, and there are icebergs that are deeper than you can see. A part of the world that people can be scared of. But if you take a moment to step back there is something bleakly and dramatically beautiful, and a vulnerability that isn't as obvious at first. Pisces: This sign is like a tropical ocean, with stunning sunsets. The fish and other creatures are bright and colourful, with coral reefs like dreams are made of. Though there is there are lush, remote islands to be found to take rest on, this is an emotional dream-world that you can get lost in.

Protect the Aries who don’t know how to express their emotions verbally so they become physical.

Protect the Taurus who struggle with their body image and are constantly triggered by the lazy and eating stereotype.

Protect the Geminis who are shunned for being flexible and accused of being fake.

Protect the Cancers who are made fun of for their sensitive interior and maternal instinct.

Protect the Leos who are insecure and feel less of a person than the rest of us. 

Protect the Virgos who are bullied for their hobbies and passions.

Protect the Libras who don’t want to make anyone upset so they refuse to make any decisions.

Protect the Scorpios who desperately want to let go of their toughness but can’t.

Protect the Sagittarius who is a wanderer and cannot seem to find their true home.

Protect the Capricorns who crave success so they don’t disappoint others.

Protect the Aquarius who feels like they don’t belong among us.

Protect the Pisces who are too sensitive for this world and cannot handle its harsh ways.

Hi, what you're doing is amazing! I was wondering if you could do a describe me or tell me what you think about me... I'm a Cancer Sun/Venus, Leo Moon/Mercury, Taurus Mars, Virgo Rising. Thanks ^^

Oh, wow, that’s really lovely of you to say! Thank you! ^_^

So, it’s interesting that you have the sign ruled by the Moon as your Sun Sign, and the sign ruled by the Sun as your Moon Sign. You have a very introverted combination for the most part, but your Moon Sign indicates that you have a loyal, generous heart. You might enjoy socialising when you do do it, but it is paramount to you that you get time to recharge afterwards. In love it’s likely you want someone that you can just stay in at home with a lot, that you can share your private space with but it still feels like recharging on your own when you’re with them. Virgo Rising and Leo Mercury is a curious combination as well. Virgo Rising would give off a reserved, pedantic, sharp air, but Leo Mercury implies a way of communication that is open, loud, possibly dramatic. It may then be that you are good at making people feel like they’re your friend without being too undesirably close to them. With Taurus Mars I imagine you to be someone who is slow to anger, but when angry will go all out to prove they are right. But it can also mean that you are slow to self-motivate, but that once you find what motivates you, you could spend the rest of your life fuelled by that same motivation and desire.

You’re welcome ^_^

Hi would you describe me? Aquarius Sun, Gemini Moon, Capricorn Rising, Neptune and Venus, Aries Mars, Scorpio MC and Pisces Mercury and Jupiter. Thank you and I really like your blog :)

So, your Gemini Moon is what strikes me first, especially in combination with your Aquarius Sun. You’re probably quite an original, quirky sort of person, and your Gemini Moon means you probably have a lot of thoughts and are never able to make them stop because they just go all over the place. (Do you find it hard to sleep from thinking too much, perhaps?). All this said, you probably give off a sort of brooding air. You’re quirky, but I imagine this might escape people’s radar at first, as Capricorn Rising gives off a very reserved air. Once that’s broken through, people discover the Aquarius Sun, Gemini Moon underneath. That said, your dreams and love-ambitions are probably very cautious, and you make sure to keep them as realistic as possible. With Aries Mars and Scorpio MC, you have a skill with self-motivation, though may find that your bouts of self-motivation and energy are so intense that you burn out quickly. But your Capricorn Rising combined with your Aries Mars and Scorpio MC mean that people probably consider you as someone who has their shit together. With your Jupiter in Pisces you’re probably very empathetic and receptive to people’s pain; good luck comes to you when you act on this sensitivity and care towards people, and you are very capable of communicating this care through your Pisces Mercury.

You’re welcome; Thank you for liking my blog ^_^
