I sat at my computer this morning to write a post, and found 14 pages of posts written by a few different people pending to be posted. Wow. It would have been great if their posts had anything to do with my site or the posts I’ve put up over the years but these were about everything from Viagra to money scammers. I thought to myself, “why do they do what they do?”

In a world full of ways to communicate, why jump on my little astrology/metaphysics site and post your garbage? Isn’t there enough ways to communicate via your own site, from facebook to blogging to, you name it? So my astrologer mind took over and I looked at where we are in the grand scheme of things, to find some clues. All of these posts were put on my site while Mercury’s in Leo. Well, there is a piece of the puzzle…Mercury the messenger in Leo can bring those who want to be the center of attention (Leo rules the Sun), and inspires strong opinions to be expressed dramatically. It can make people embellish or exaggerate in order to get their point across. People feel they have an abundance of creative ideas and seek to share them.

But what ever happened to manners, to the golden rule? We can tell our stories without stepping on others’ toes, can’t we. As a member of the human race, I am all for sharing our thoughts, but how about doing it without taking advantage of others. In our current world, with all of the problems we are trying to solve, let us begin with ourselves. Be the change we wish to see in the world.
