Do people not like astrology questions about aspects on this forum?

Question

I will see a question such as 'what is your favorite song and what is your sign' and there will be 31 answers to it. Yet when someone asks a serious astrology question on here, such as about Saturn house placement and aspects, it seems they receive very few replies.

What is up with that? Are most of you astrology newbies who are only into horoscope sun signs? I am hoping I do not offend anyone. I'm trying to get a handle on why so many very good questions are overlooked for the ones about your favorite ice cream flavor.

Answer 1

Because people keep thinking Yahoo Answers is a forum. It's not a forum. Report that c**p.

Answer 2

people like fun questions to spice up the horoscopes question.

that's waht i do. if i have a question about astrology, i'll go to google and look it up, but if i have an interesting question that i'd like to ask to add a little fun to this section, i'll ask it.

people who report the "fun" questions are usually older people who are serious about astrology. i'm not saying you shouldnt report, but ruining the fun in this section is a bit selfish.

obviously, this is will stir up a lot of different views, but personally, i think there should be serious questions as well as fun questions that let you let loose and have a little fun with astrology,.

Answer 3

Agree. Few people know how to answer past the basics sun signs questions. I do answer those actually but if not that is because I am just not on here , have not seen them or have noticed that some people have given an adequate answer so I will not add.

Sometimes it is interesting because people will add more info and offer other ideas/ perspectives to consider.

Mind you sometimes it does take some time and when somebody asks like " my sun is in Aries and my moon is in Cancer...what does it mean/describe my personality",,,it is very hard to do so because you just do not know the rest of the chart. It would be akin to asking what do I look like if I provide only a pic of my arm and one leg.......so you are like kind of stumped.

Actually I do not answer questions like " do Capricorns get on with Aquarius" etc..because am sure there are plenty of couples who get on , so why bother ??

But yes the majority only believe only in horoscopes and I find it sad when someone asks " my sign and so and so and my g/f /b/f is so and so..will we last ?".

Too many Cosmopolitan readers out there and the majority of the people I guess are in their teens.

And to   the answerer above..yes it is a forum.Otherwise there would be some kind of moderators erasing silly questions.

Yahoo is not specialised in anything. It is a melting pot.

There are sites out there dealing with serious astrology and Q and A.

PS: Agree with  Shady..I used to want to lighten this forum up a bit and make jokes about signs - not serious - so people could have fun a bit.........Unfortunately got reported.

You crack a joke on here and blam.....somebody reports you !

I think seriousness and fun should be mixed together......but apparently it is not to everyone's liking.

Answer 4

It's not that people don't like them..it's just that most people can't answer them..

Browse through the questions and add those that answer intelligently to your contacts. Then when you ask an aspect question, you will have good  pool of smarties to answer you...;-)

(**Still here?)

(Honestly you probably noticed that 1)some people can't apparently read, 2)some don't understand the question, and 3) some can't stay off their little rants long enough to actually answer a question without editorializing...there's a few more answers. )

Answer 5

Hi Howie

Good question if you get decent answers. I responded to one such question and had a user take a fit over it. I was merely stating my opinion . He or she took it wrong. If you can't handle good answers or opinions, then you don't belong here. Sometimes it may seem blunt but not meant to do any harm nor offend any poster. As for the rest of your question, it shows that their are only a handful who can really answer your questions on aspects. Then again, they might ger upset if your asnwer is chosen as BA like what happened to me.
