Are you ready to welcome me back? After a few years of life getting in the way, I'm happy to announce my return to Seraphic Seraphim Astrology. I know it's been a long wait, and I want to thank my readers for taking so much interest in this astro-blog. If you have any questions or concerns, please visit my contact form. I missed a lot of queries over the last 7 years, and I'd hate to have unfinished business. If you've been waiting for a reply, please reach out again in good faith. I've been inactive. Keep in mind that I'm no longer offering birth chart readings, but I am answering all questions. These views are from my Wordpress blog and this Weebly blog. Even though it's not a lot compared to other websites, I'm pretty proud of those views after being inactive for almost a decade with very few posts. I'm now publishing content more often. If you sign up to my newsletter, you'll get my astrology updates straight to your inbox. My goals are to create better quality posts for my readers, answer their questions, and get back in the saddle as an astro-blogger. Thanks again for your readership continued support. I'm looking forward to growing this blog and helping you learn more about the Zodiac, stars and planets, and how they affect our lives. Addressing the Elephant in the Room... How Hilarious Hate Comments Are.So, what inspired me to get back in the saddle was a particularly funny hate comment. I opened my old email and got blasted in the face by pure ego. Want to guess their Zodiac sign in the comments? After reading it and laughing, showing it to my partner and laughing again, we decided to check back in on this blog. To our surprise, it wasn't only pulling in one view a day. I feel flattered that at least one person enjoys my writing this much, not to mention tens of thousands of people. So, I revamped the theme, added a new post, and started scrolling comments. Surprise, surprise. The email hater was in my comments too, blasting away. Now, I have a new goal. I'll write more, and she can keep foaming at the mouth in my email like a rabid Rottweiler. On the Other Hand, Some Disturbed Me. While the one hater was funny to read, there was another that bothered me. It needs some context. TW: sexual assault mention. I rant for the next 200+ words, and I'm sorry about that. Scroll down to "What's Changing on Seraphic Seraphim Astrology?" if you don't want to read this part. I believe that a lot of people read about astrology for a sense of certainty and to feel like they're on the "right' path. A decent chunk of my readers worry, have anxiety or depression, are victims, or have dying or dead family members. Comfort and honesty was always my goal, even when I was a child creating this blog. Here's where the disturbance started: -> Random guy told me I was wrong. -> Commenter said I was not, and she compared my interpretation to her experience with being sexually assaulted. -> Random guy told her she was wrong too. So, here's what I take from that interaction. The "astrology community" has become so egotistical that they forgot what the fuck we're writing for. It's not about who's right or wrong, what "this" or "that" site said. Frankly, I don't care. I take my interpretations from personal experience and observation. As a matter of fact, most of my posts are about my or my partner's Natal Charts. On top of that, the majority of my interpretations come from Vedic, not Western, astrology. They're not going to line up with what you find on Google. Go read a book. But, that's not my point. My point is, it's about our readers. Whether we entertain, comfort, or motivate them; astrology is meant to be spiritual, is it not? So, why are we making it stressful?
Sorry for the rant. Back to the *good vibes* What's Changing on Seraphic Seraphim Astrology?This blog needs a reboot. Expect a redesign (already done as of this post!), more original content, easier readability, and more. I also want to read through my emails and comments, answer any recent inquiries, and reintroduce my old readers to the new and improved SS-Astrology. This is going to take a while. Things won't change overnight. But, I am dedicating myself to getting this website back up and running. It's received so much love, how could I not? Want to welcome me back?
