Can emotions be classed as a guide

hiya all,

A simple thought, can emotions really be classed as a guide? I believe they are because when we feel the need to do something in reasoning emotionally that emotion guides us, however it isnt always good at guiding. Joy can guide us to spread it around and do happy things, anger can guide us to violent action if its strong enough. So what do you think, can we class emotions as guides of some sort?

I believe both yes and no for the simple fact that you can say that it is yourself that guides you by the emotions you have.

Love and blessings to all

Hi Makoorakoo,

A very good question. All our emotions are powerful and i too think they are pointers like guides in our life. We have the choice in how to react to them. Like when you feel angry, you can stop yourself from blowing your top by reasoning with yourself and putting things into perspective. It's all a learning process and we never stop learning. Thoughts can provoke different emotions when you are just sitting quietly and not really thinking about anything in particular, but i completely believe that negative emotions have a bad effect on your health. Some people seem to have more control over their emotions than others and my theory on this is your star sign. Earth signs seem more grounded, along with air signs. Where as, fire and water seem less in control of theirs. But this is only my opinion, based on my own family. I often think we aren't given our star sign by accident, maybe its to learn something from it, such as maybe to overcome our negative traits.

love and best wishes

I completely agree with the signs thing apart from air signs such as gemini etc which from what I've see tend to hide their emotions instead. I have cancer for my moon sign and sun sign and experience huuuuuge ranges is emotions...I can go from happy to fearful back to happy within 15mins and I'm particularly sensitive to comments etc. Even when I am grounded I show signs of this just to a lesser extent. Balance for me is something I'm always struggling to achieve unlike most of the earth signs I've seen who manage this with great ease.
