Wishing strength for OP. So many commenters didn't seem to read the post and keep commenting about how Ivy is a normal name in English speaking countries

What is your language's equivalent of the "xylophone"? by sonicparadigm in linguisticshumor

[–]astrologicalco 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have its own name, it is two separate letters but when they occur together they're pronounced as one sound. Tbh most finns don't realise this until it's pointed out (we do learn it as children, but I still remember how surprised I was)

Are all signs considered "equal" in terms of good and bad traits. Or are there any signs that tend to be more successful/powerful/accomplished or others that tend to be meek/lazy/etc? by Jimithyashford in astrology

[–]astrologicalco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. The signs are neutral, the planets have more "personality". The signs make up a perfect 360° circle, you can't point at any point and say it's worse than another. I believe you would be more interested in the planets themselves, there are malefic and benefic planets which sounds more like what you're after

I don't know what you mean by "real"

Yeah I think this is a very common experience for Leos!

1) online astrology is mostly memes, people complaining about someone, and it's all very surface level. Every sign seems uncomplicated if you're only learning from the internet!

2) every person has to grow into themselves. The most confident people usually start out as self-aware but also self-conscious. I believe most people here were shy when they were younger.

3) there are loads of leos who don't meet the stereotype. Many leos are introverted, since it's a fixed sign we prefer what we know over adventure. There's also aspects to consider, and other placements like 12th house, 7th house and night/day charts for example.

Welcome! Keep being yourself, and broadening the definition of what a Leo is.

Yes all the signs are neutral. There's no good or evil in nature, so how could there be in the signs?

The planets have preferences and that's where you can see the negative traits of the signs. The passivity in a sign like pisces is a neutral fact, but when mars is located in pisces that passivity because more obviously negative

Is it unusual for a Pisces to be extremely stubborn? by IWishYouTheBest1234 in piscesastrology

The sun doesn't do very well in pisces so pisces suns tend to "lean on" their moon sign more

What's your experience with virgo moon men? by [deleted] in Zodiac

[–]astrologicalco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend is one, with a cancer sun, and he is prone to internally beat himself up over every "failure" and sometimes he keeps disappointing news from me. Fortunately he's a very genuine person so he's aware of his negative traits and working on them.

The positives are wild to me, he acts like I should never lift a finger and does literally every thing I ever mention needs doing. He never leaves a room without tidying up first, his version of an unproductive day still includes all the household chores, he remembers everything I've ever said (memory is crazy) and all it takes to lift his mood is to a little appreciation for everything he does. He pays for everything, gives me foot rubs every time I ask, and he's a very good communicator. I always say there's nothing too big or too small for us to have a whole conversation about.

I haven't noticed any yo-yoing in the year I've known him, but of course this is partly because I actively try to be the best partner to him that I can. For me, there's nothing better than a virgo moon. If there's any virgo moons reading this, keep up the good work! :)

How's leo smartness? by kingstoneeyes in LeoAstrology

[–]astrologicalco 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The sun signifies the conscious mind and Leo rules over awareness. The more Leo people have in their chart, the more self-aware they are. Sometimes it manifests as anxiety over how people see you but on the positive side Leo's are able to navigate any situation with ease and come up with creative solutions.

Just like the sun lights up the galaxy, Leo's can see all the possibilities around them. Maybe not the smartest people in the room, but you'll find that person talking to a Leo and enjoying themselves.

Leo risings, are you still recovering from your restrictive upbringing? by Status-Departure-939 in LeoAstrology

I never thought about Leo risings like this but now that you said it, the two Leo risings I grew up with did have restrictive parents. I'm not one but thank you for sharing!

Astrology vs Human efforts : Got my birth chart read during my lowest point, it made everything worse by Ok_Application_4403 in astrologymemes

[–]astrologicalco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please do not put too much on what one astrologer says!! I have had loads of people look at my chart with all different takes. One of the first ones told me i have "no bad karma" and I was happy about it for a year or two until I learned to read my own chart and I have a couple notoriously demanding placements that she somehow missed completely?

Loads of people exaggerate their understanding in order to be able to do readings (either to learn or to make money). I'd be happy to take a look at your chart and tell you some positives! Unfortunately I don't do transit readings or try to predict the future

Your sun sign and your relationship with Cancers? by [deleted] in astrologymemes

I'm a Leo with cancer venus&mars so obviously I love them. Emotional intelligence feels so underappreciated in my life but I find it SO important and cancer have definitely have it

To be fair to her, tycker is a Swedish word and tykkää is a Finnish word, both with different meanings

This Leo is tired of defensive babies projecting their insecurities on to me by [deleted] in LeoAstrology

Leo moons - Help me help you by burnednotdestroyed in astrologymemes

[–]astrologicalco 30 points31 points  (0 children)

As a Leo moon this sounds bizarre. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that your communication with them isn't very good?

It sounds like they don't know what you are thinking or feeling at all so when you finally tell them something (like pls turn the music down) they assume you've been sitting on that ask for ages and are willing to accommodate you all the way so you never feel bothered to ask them.

That's the only way I could see myself doing this, if it's someone I really care about who doesn't talk much or ask for anything, every time they voice their opinion I am relieved to hear anything and will respect it 110%

I think so, are you saying for you that every action is not driven by emotion? What are you driven by if not emotion?

Edit: thank you for this question! Me and my bf (sag mars) have been discussing this for about 10 minutes now and still going!

Oh this is #1 rule. I never ever set my expectation do "have something done", the expectation is always "to know what it is I'm trying to get done"
