Astrology Readings Online

After reading this report with some fascination, I have come to agree with the often heard adage, “Location, location, location. Astro*Carto*Graphy was first introduced as a technique in 1976 and it gained wide acceptance within the astrological community. It is based on the common idea that a person can have different chances, fortune, experiences or opportunities in different localities. It looks at the planet’s relationships to your locality at your birth moment. If a planet was particularly strong in the location of your birth, then its’ influence will continue if you travel, reside or have any involvement with the area from another place.

This system also operates under the insight that you can find yourself obliged to live in a less than optimum locality setting. The information offered requires you to look beneath any superficial desires or concerns that you are operating under, and try to understand just what state of emerging consciousness could have brought you to this place. This allows you the unique opportunity to overcome the sometimes very Dark Night of the Soul interpretations that can occur and learn to recognize the positive aspects which will help you overcome any dark or negative planetary influence. Saturn and Neptune can be particularly heavy planetary influences and my locality report was heavily influenced by Saturn and it’s many dark aspects. My Permanent Influence (Lines) was Saturn and My Secondary Influence (Crossings) was the Moon and Mars. Sounds pretty heavy already doesn’t it.

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I travel a hard road. I have always held the thought that since I could never find a road, I was going to have to build one. It certainly has been no day on the beach, but I certainly wouldn’t be who I am today, if it weren’t for the challenges of my life which forced the exploration of my Higher Darkness. I feel that this report has captured the weight of my experience and gave me some reassurance that I have done my best to embrace this darkness. I was brought here out of need for deeper investigation of my darker side and my hidden self. The planetary influence has also brought me head to head with the negative aspects of Saturn: people who lust for power; dealing with entrenched authority and being powerless to frustrating, unresponsive people who “hold unassailable power over you”; blind conservatism and institutional dehumanization (see anything I have written about Hydro Ottawaand that is only one example). This area has also brought me depressed health and emotional levels plus lots of hard work. It has been a slow, painful progress, just as the report states, which has made me learn how powerful determination, tenacity and resoluteness can be. I don’t take one step backwards - not anymore. As St. John of the Cross said “….the endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.”

The report also emphasizes that I am here in an attempt to resolve my relationship with my Father. I am repeating my paternal experience over and over again in my relationships with all the males in my life. I do have a lot of male friends at this point in my life, more male than female, and they are true friendships which have grown over time. I have also taken in 9 young men here and helped them regain their sense of balance and stability. I think this worked out because I can understand dangerously unloved and damaged (I think my cooking went over well too). The relationship with my Father has not improved, maybe I have just finally let go and I accept that he won’t change - he prefers my brothers, it is his choice, and I will never have his approval or love. One of the great sadnesses in my life is how much I adored my Father, but never managed more than the smallest crumb off his table. This is where I learned to feast on a crumb and it has not served me well in my life. I always take the least for myself, give more than I have to give, and twist myself into a pretzel to please and appease people around me. If I could only be perfect, then my Father will love me. All it has gotten me is disrespect, disillusionment, low self-esteem, impotent anger, and the recurrent problem of people making very assumptive, hurtful and erroneous judgments about me. The report also very strongly captures the periods of hardship, financial difficulty, hunger, delays, disappointments and loneliness. It also speaks of miserliness which I must admit is the basis of most of my intimate relationships - I can always find an emotional miser.

In a more positive turn, the report also points out that in spite of (or maybe it is because of), these hardships in my experiences, it has brought hardwork, willpower, frugality, taking life one day at a time, thinking little of pleasure or rewards but has kept me focused on humility and doing a good job. The report also says orderliness but the last word I would use to describe myself is orderly unless orderly chaos is an option. This location and my need for self-protection has also lead to my dabbling in the “forbidden” - the occult and black arts. The more you study and research in the area of Tarot, Divination, Omens, Superstitions and Dreams, the more you are exposed to. Your discernment has to be razor-sharp. I am doing the right kind of work here though, earthy and self-motivated, although my thinking and my writing is often preoccupied with death, materialism and fate.

The report often makes reference to my hermit like qualities, I excell in self-denial, mortification for the sake of others, comtemplation and self-mastery. This area has allowed me to get in touch with Earth centred traditions, Native Spirituality and more primal, tribal types of social community even if isolation is part of my environment and I do lack in social accessibility. The limiteations of this area have helped me identify the limits of my endurance. It has also put me in a very “masculine” dominated world and my very poor intimate relationships with men have been glaringly dangerous and painful here. I draw men to me who can only show me anger, vindictiveness, rage and erractic behaviours - sex without love or affection, emotionally detached and unavailable, no faithfulness and a cruel need to destroy me because I will not be mastered. They are victims of their own self-pride and a “macho” masculinity which manifests as materialism, egotism and jealous paranoia. Add that to the issues with authority and my need for self-protection, I have had to stand on shaky ground alone for a very long time, it is little wonder I tell battered women to buy life insurance.

The Locality Report is broken down into several sections. The length of a report may vary for each individual. My report is laid out in the following manner: Your Chart Data; Introduction; If You’re Just Visiting, You Made a Rather Strange Choice; If You Plan to Live Here, You’d Better Like Working; The God Who Didn’t Take Chances; It’s Hard to Know When You Need Discipline; Where Pleasure Seems Trivial; The Magnetism of What is Feared; The Inner Desert; Secondary Influences; It’s Hard Work to be a Hero; and the Epilogue. All in all this is a very thorough report and provided me information which I strongly recognized and identified with. It was not easy to read or to absorb. My grievances were very clearly articulated in this report but some good insights on how to deal positively with these influences was certainly beneficial.

I think most people would find this a very unique appraisal of their life circumstance. If you were considering a move or were finding life difficult, it would certainly give some great insights into just why all this is happening to you or if you would be better off, or worse off, in another area. Like I said, it’s all about location, location, location. While my report may seem very dark, please bear in mind that this is my report for my circumstances, and yours could be very much different. You can order your own locality report via email to Bewitched Astrology. An emailed report is $15Cdn, payable using PayPal or you can request a hard copy snail-mailed for $20 Cdn. Definitely worth checking out.

One day while I was hanging out on the Internet, I stumbled across something very interesting. It took me by surprise and I’m not really sure why. It was nothing scandalous, it was simply the online personals section of my local web portal. What I’ve read on these online personals is what made me pause. I knew I had been out of the dating game for quite a while. I never imagined that they would become so racy.

First of all, there were suddenly a whole lot more ladies participating on these WAP site that I had recalled. I will have to admit that when I was a little bit younger, I enjoy checking out the online personals in hopes of meeting women. Going to the nearest bar and scouting for them felt creepy, and getting a date from one of my classmates was out of the question.

When you are one of the only few nerds in a class filled with quarterbacks and other sporty types, your chances of getting a date are next to nil. That is why I turn to online personals as my means for meeting the ladies.

Truth be told, I actually met some very fine young ladies through the online personals. My first regular girlfriend was someone that I had met through the online personals. She may have been quite a bit older than I was, and come to think of it, quite a bit heavier, but hey, that’s the way it goes.

Another encounter that I had with a woman met through the online personals ended up costing me quite a bit of money. But even which conned me out of it. I should say I allowed myself to be conned. After all, when a girl asks you for your credit card number in the very second online meeting, would you be dumb enough to give it to her? Unfortunately for me, I was. For once it paid off to have a credit card that was pretty much maxed out. In any event I never heard from her again and I appreciate that. As it turned out, it was a small price to pay to get her out of my life.

In any event, getting back to the subject at hand, I was amazed by the openness and lack of scruples shown by these women. Not only were they more open about revealing who they actually were, a few of them actually became pretty explicit and verbalizing exactly what they were after. A far cry from my hey days on the online personals when it was taken for granted that the guys were all looking to get laid and the girls were all looking for the right groom.

It seems as if anything on the online personals is free game at this point. It was kind of interesting. I sure was glad for the openness and opportunities the youngsters were enjoying. I must confess that I felt a little bit of envy that it wasn’t me. So if you do happen to get onto the online personals section of my local portal, see if there is a gopher15 hanging around. It may or may not just be me.

Myth # 1: Meeting women online isn’t the real world

Response: It becomes the real world once you meet them in person

Myth # 2: It becomes a crutch for people

Response: In that case, so are clubs or any specific venue where you operate within only one environment, and within certain times of day

Myth # 3: All the girls you meet have some sort of problem

Response: In bigger cities where internet dating is more mainstream, this is certainly not the case. The average woman you meet online is representative of the average woman outside

Myth # 4: You lose communication skills

Response: You challenge your communication skills. In fact, in some ways it is even harder to pull from online since all you have is the power of text.

Myth # 5: It’s a numbers game

Response: It’s always a numbers game. One main difference is that women are less likely to remember you if you “screwed up” online. But once you get more skill you can try with the same women again, with a different picture and a different profile.

Myth # 6: It just doesn’t work, period. You’re wasting your time.

Response: All people who say this haven’t gotten it to work. They don’t see a way to do it because they personally haven’t found a way. So the problem is with them, period. There’s an even bigger matrix for meeting women online than in-person. This is evident as even certain club pick-up “gurus” renounce its effectiveness.

Myth # 7: Hot women on the internet are validation queens who don’t actually want to meet. They just enjoy the attention.

Response: Hot women in many places are validation queens, whether they are sitting in front of a computer or out at the club - they are usually in the princess mindset. If you can get her attention, you can get her interest.

Myth # 8: It limits your choices.

Response: I can technically meet more woman at a time, say with multiple messenger chat windows, then with the one-at-a-time in-person approach.

Myth # 9: You don’t know what you’re doing wrong unlike in real life where you get actual feedback. Moreover, the online medium doesn’t help you to understand women in general.

Response: This is only partially true, which is why you must get in-person field experience as well. It helps you understand the online game better. However, by getting girls on my messenger I can observe certain behavior patterns which I would not normally have noticed so clearly any other way.

Example 1 - If a girl likes me she will always initiate messaging me. Once I get them on messenger (like msn) I can roughly gauge her interest like a meter, based on how and when she uses the Away, Busy, or Online status.

If she likes me and really wants to talk to me she will change her Away or Busy status to Online, when I log in. Conversely, if she doesn’t like me she will switch to Away or Busy status when I log in. Much easier than calling and re-calling a girl who won’t answer the phone, whom you can’t quite tell if she is just not interested or just has a lot on the go. Also, as an added benefit, if I go out with a girl and then afterwards I never see her online anymore, it means she blocked me and is not interested. So I know I don’t have to waste my time trying to call her, to find that out the hard way. But if instead she shows up online then chances are it means she wants to see me again.

Unlike the phone where even girls who like you won’t always initiate calling you, by getting them on your messenger you take away that source of “stage fright”, and make them more likely to chase you a bit. Which means that IF they like you they will message you, ALWAYS, even the shy girls. Confusing a girls lack of interest with fear of answering your calls, is a thing of the past, especially for younger girls, and/or girls who live at home with their parents.

Example 2 - I can more easily, based on behavior patterns, figure out which women are seeking pure attention from me as opposed to actually being interested. I’ve had a few women message me out of the blue who sort of hinted at meeting up, and so I took the bait and went for it. But then they declined as they were “too busy”. I then looked at the Allow List on my msn, and I found out that these same women deleted me from their contact list soon after. This helps me to isolate and understand the type of behavior which indicates genuine interest, and that which is geared towards having me chase, for an ego boost.

Myth # 10: It’s too time consuming.

Response: It’s less time consuming because all I have to do is be in the right mental state, as opposed to being in the right mental state, dressed up, cleaned up, and in the right venue. I can do this during lunch hour at work, or while in my pajamas at home.

Myth # 11: It creates excuses.

Response: Excuses become less plausible. There are no cockblocks, or other obstacles to complain about. You can’t even say there are lack of targets since searches turn up thousands of prospects, especially in major cities.

Myth # 12: It takes less skill then real life.

Response: In some ways it takes more skill because, as I said, all you have is the power of text to work with. The internet is difficult which is why in-person meeting is more accessible to most initially. Then once you get some real life skill then give online a shot, and if you’re like me, the internet will make meeting women way more efficient for you, and less costly too - as clubs, alcohol, and cab fare are fairly expensive. Also, there’s the matter of health. I want to preserve my hearing well into the future.
