the second part you mentioned about feeling restricted in communication certainly rings true. though i always feel restricted, and never feel like i fit in, or can communicate in accordance with social norms -- i think this blog reflects that.  though i interpreted this as an expression of the 11th house stellium (particularly mercury in the 11th regarding communication), as well as uranus in the first.
those were good questions. you got me thinking! |
I express myself in very structured terms as well. But the fact that I have to put something in structured terms makes me feel somehow restricted: I guess I am preoccupied with the thought that my writing must make sense (I try to foresee how my interlocutor will follow my thought). Every sentence is put intentionally. On forums sometimes I have problems, because I have to express what I would call an inner knowing, feelings and it's hard to put it in a clear, structured way (especailly when you lack vocabulary, see next sentence). And then there's the problem with foreign languages, like it is not difficult enough to express oneself properly in one's mother tongue ... So as much as I like to discuss on forums and blogs, like this one here, I also feel restricted, because I have to think
so hard to make myself understood. And also it takes me quite a lot of time to come up with a post like this one (half an our, perhaps even more, 45 min).
I was wondering where this problem was coming from: I wasn't sure if a sign on a cusp can really have such a strong influence. Still not sure, but your answer appears to be similar to my experience.
I don't doubt though that you are much more practical in your organisation of communication (when I have masses of text to summarize, I tend to get lost in details - Mercury in the 12th).
I am curious: when you say you reorganize the information on the web into niche communities, what does that mean exactly? What kind of communities are these niche communities and what kind of organization do you deal with?
