Are we arguing semantics, Marinka? By "massive amounts of humility" I don't mean abject low self-esteem. Hardly. Should I have said "serious awareness of our own shortcomings"? But let's take the opposite of humility: Hubris. Conceit. Chart reading can be time consuming, but that doesn't justify colossal insensitivity.
Astrologers are fallible people. We need to recognize it and not imagine that we possess the God's eye view.
I have read many of Poyi's posts and agree that she does a super job with people. (Except me, possibly???)
How is it any better when you say "serious awareness of our own shortcomings" rather than "massive amounts of humility". Both statement seem to be degrading the abilities of a student in astrology (IMO).
Your statement "Astrologers are fallible people. We need to recognize it and not imagine that we possess the God's eye view.", is dismissive of the predictive talents of astrologers that have focused in this area. And, I'm not quite sure why there are religious references on a site primarily dedicated to astrology - the two really don't mix well ... oil & water.
