Nailu if you are going to call me arrogant at least read the board you are on - this is a discussion on Horary techniques. Perhaps this may clear some of the clouds you confuse as a high tower. If you want to see me do astrology you can - as a matter fact its on the board below this where you can see some of the predications that I made that came true - I would be happy to link you to some! Referring to me telling you to go back to school - which I never did - I asked where was your sources as your thinking was not one that I have read in any book - you was not able to give me even one. . Not a single citation, not even a sentence that backs up your thinking from any book, media, project - nothing. If you’re going to make bold statements about my arrogance at least they come from teachings and can be backed up. Would I be wrong to expect the same from you?Some time ago you basically told me to go back to school, now here you seem to imply that I should take your statement as 'surprising' and of a worth to reflect on. When I speak plainly to that attitude, I would say get your arrogant behind of of the hightower and start doing some astrology instead of taking up a teaching role where that is not necessary.
Let’s set the record straight: in your very first sentence, you acknowledged a point I made. So, it’s quite ironic that you then turn around and label me as arrogant. That’s not just a weak argument; it’s outright disrespectful, especially considering I haven’t resorted to name-calling or personal attacks in this discussion.As for homofobic, yes I do see where you're coming from, but do you realize it is you who is making this into homofobia and two other people are pointing towards roles and gender in a (any) relationship. I'll speak for myself, this is my initial statement:"
On the question of relationships I can't help you, I use Venus solely as the natural ruler of Love (if Venus is not a significators of quesitor or question) not for a woman in love, it doesn't work for me.
Another question could be if it's at all too logic to use so much specifications when not knowing the specifics of a relationship; as the assignments of roles played in a relationship doesn't always add up to the actual gender."
There is no, not any, value added to roles nor gender; no good or bad is mentioned nor intended. You are the one seemingly pulling this into the overpopulair discussion, or whatever that mess is, around freedom to be (and be with)who you are in every way around. I'm pro liberation and emancipation, dead against the way that is politicized and thrown around in endless powerplays instead of being addressed in respect and acceptance (back and forth) that someone else understands things their own way, write things down in their own 'columns of understanding'. It's not for anyone else to approach that with disrespect. Neither is it respectful to take one or two remarks and pull that whole, totally polarized, worldwide gender- discussion as a blanket over those remarks without any further investigation on your part.
Besides the respect I have for everyone's own choices it's mere fact that there are roles and gender in every relation, every situation and we do need a form to poor that into words, so people are enabled to talk at all about these things. If I get the idea here that Iris understands me, that's enough for me here.
If you wish to fill that in with values that's yours not mine. Maybe someone reading this gets something out of your remarks, I don't and find them too much, way to soon.
As for capitals and tone, yes it is important, to yet another portion of the human race, we tend to be very sensitive and picking up on the heaps of stress and other things intended or not directly intended in these forms of outing.
The idea was to reflect on your apparent involvement in the matter you brought along.
Your insistence that "there are roles and gender in every relationship" and that we must force those into a tidy framework is not just reductive—it’s inherently homophobic. My assertion that we can't use the Sun and Venus in same-sex relationships because it reinforces harmful stereotypes wasn’t an attack; it was a critical response to the very question at hand. Yet, rather than engaging with that substance, you’ve allowed yourself to get defensive over it, even though, surprise surprise, you seem to agree with my critique at its core.
By asserting these roles as universal, you risk invalidating the lived experiences of those in LGBTQ+ relationships, where traditional gender roles simply don’t apply. This fixation on categorizing relationships according to outdated norms completely ignores the complexity and fluidity of human connections. It perpetuates the damaging notion that love must fit into predefined boxes—boxes that many people, especially in same-sex relationships, find not only confining but utterly irrelevant. Asking a client, “So who buys who flowers?” is not just naive; it’s fundamentally wrong and disrespectful.
If you’re relying on these outdated roles as a foundation for your discussions, you’re effectively saying that LGBTQ+ relationships are somehow less valid unless they conform to your narrow understanding of love. That’s not just narrow-minded; it’s deeply disrespectful to those who live their truths outside those rigid definitions. Love exists in countless forms, and it deserves recognition and validation without being coerced into antiquated constructs.
I understand that you feel a sense of camaraderie with Iris, but understanding must be rooted in respect for all experiences, not just those that fit neatly into a specific narrative. Engaging with the complexities of relationships means we need to move past simplistic frameworks. It’s about recognizing that love, in all its myriad forms, should be validated on its own terms, free from the constraints of outdated expectations. Ironically, you opened by agreeing with the very point you now seem to dismiss. It’s a curious contradiction that undermines your argument.
Let’s make one thing crystal clear: this is an online forum dedicated to horary techniques, not a daycare for fragile feelings. If my remarks are too challenging for you, that’s not my problem to manage - log off. Discussions like this are inherently complex, but that’s part of what makes them meaningful. My points are grounded in research and sources, which you seem unwilling or unable to provide.
I’m not here to coddle anyone’s feelings. If you’re finding the points I’ve raised overwhelming, maybe it’s time for you to reflect on them rather than dismiss them as too much. This forum exists for exploration and growth in our understanding of astrology, not for tiptoeing around uncomfortable truths or for merely catering to Nailu's beliefs.
So, if you’re looking for a space where everyone agrees and no one challenges your perspective, you need to reconsider your expectations. This is a forum for genuine dialogue, and that means facing uncomfortable ideas head-on, no matter how unsettling they may be.
