[QUOTE="may28gemini, post: 506266"] I think it's quite excellent for a person to know themselves and what their limits are. I think the Moon sign and house placement along with the Moon's aspects to other planets offers a very intimate glimpse of what our drawbacks are and that's were the answers lie in how to improve upon something lacking. This is the part where I say that modern astrology's faux pas is not recognizing the importance of limitations and how to solve problems. I could go on and on ranting about it, but I'll leave it at that simple sentence. To address your astute observation, I probably sound like I'm a good business person, someone who defaults to being objective and very rational. I actually have always been that way (maybe not as well defined as I am now), but I was first and foremost extremely soft and had a bleeding heart that would feel for everything and it would overwhelm me to the point of blackouts (yes, physical blackouts). I didn't just absorb too much, I absorbed EVERYTHING and that was my detriment. It took me a very long time to understand my emotional shortcomings and how to control it, but boy, am I EXTREMELY glad that I learned! What I mean by this is, being that I still do have Pisces Moon, I am overall soft-hearted, and I'd rather forgive others and let things slide (or go to h3ll) rather than rock the boat and risk being the cause of turmoil/chaos. When I was younger, I was quite passive. I grew up in an abusive home and was hit often by my father, for any, all, or no reason at all. Nothing was ever explained to me why something was the way it was in the household and I never quite grasped why it had to be so mean. So that was the genesis. Onward, if anyone said something mean to me, I wouldn't argue with them... I would just let it slide and for many years, I had encountered plenty of nasty people who bossed me around and have a strange liking to manipulating me and always used emotional blackmail against me. I hated that and I use to blame the world and external forces for my woes. I sound like I was a total doormat, and it seemed like I was but in reality I wasn't. I just hated myself for allowing others to push me around and I hated others for picking me as their victim but I felt trapped and worried that if I lashed back, I'd be the "bad" one. When I was 25, I became a social worker. I had a very strong and longstanding desire to "help" others: the lost, the unfortunate, those who needed others. Within 2 months of working, not only did I see reality behind my emotional fallacy because all the clients in my caseload were calling me and screaming at me, blaming me for everything wrong in their lives; I also reconnected with my murderous, seething rage that stemmed from my childhood. Something happened inside me and I snapped. I yelled back at a client who really pushed me (a self righteous Aquarius, of course :annoyed:) and the whole office could hear me smashing things in my cubicle. Everyone saw the scary rage that I'm capable of, and believe me, it would rival the devil. My boss was an extremely passive but intellectual Virgo and she was scared to approach me in person but sent me an authoritative email stating what she wanted from me in the most nonchalant and matter of fact way, "I want you to take at least 2 of these seminars I have listed for you." She listed 4 seminars and they all had to do emotional control (and being under stress). I went to all 4 of them (as I believed they could all help me improve) as my job paid for me to attend them and I was still paid my regular salary absent from the office.

I no longer fell victim to others nor would I be afraid of taking control, and if arguments and discord erupt, so be it. I learned to not be afraid. That's how I went from a bleeding heart to being draconic. By the time my Saturn's return started (I was 28), I already laid down the (emotional) foundation and had several years of practice under my belt from which I live by today. My point from this drastically long story is, emotions can be taught and controlled, too. [/QUOTE]
