I haven't really solved any problems using Astrology but I discovered more about myself. It's also, in a way, made me more insecure though. I don't quite know how to explain it but..
You know, I thought long and hard about this thread and thought it best not to answer. No offense but I really do not want to get into a negative exchange about astrology. I don't come to this forum (or any other) to engage in negativity. If you wish to learn how you can use astrology to help overcome challenges in your life, study it. As for me personally, yes I have overcome many difficulties by embracing my talents and opening my heart and mind by learning what my chart means. Astrology has been a blessing to me. May it be for you as well.
well put forestnymphe. i think by understanding the nature of astrology you can use it well, but attempting to use astrology without actually understanding it can actually cause more harm than good. as for problems i've solved by using astrology in my life? by becoming more aware, i've learned what kind of people are dangerous for me, and what kind of people are good for me. that's a pretty big thing, if you ask me.
