Why does enlightenment seem to be so difficult to come by? I was reading an article about a female Buddhist Monk who wants to achieve enlightenment and had to face discrimination because of her sex. But... it got me thinking - what exactly do people think enlightenment means and why should it be so hard to achieve it? So for those interested here is a spiritual question and I will be interested in hearing your thoughts.

I don't believe there is any Native American astrology. I think there are stories about some of the constellations but I don't remember it going any further than that. The tribes didn't attached a big importance to birthdays, but I could be wrong. They also didn't have advanced mathematics.

Well, a place just for Aquarians! This will be interesting. I'm a dble. Aq. with Moon/pisces, with mercury and mars in Aquarius. I am 60 yrs old and have been married for 40 years to a Leo with a moon/Aquarius. What I want to say is that I have always been the different one. I started studying astrology when I was in my late 20's and it was a fantastic tool for learning about myself. I'll say it again, I have always been the different one. One of the sayings that I learned about Aquarius is "they love humanity but hate people." I like some people but I seem to have to have a connection with them, like my best friend who has a Aq. moon and her Venus is on my moon, if I don't have a connection I can just forget about them. I love to learn and I continually take classes. How did everyone cope with the Uranus and Neptune transit thru Aquarius? Neptune is still transiting our sign. I think it started around 2000. My life has been better and better since this transit and I have been able to really accept myself and the fact that I am always the different one. Any other dbl with pisces moon out there?
