astrology
I have been studying astrology since 1971 and - although I may not be popular amongst many astrologers, I rarely look at transits or progressions as I consider the purpose of astrology is to show us ourselves.
Of course many will never be interested in the subject enough to study it but this is where those who do come in, to erect and interpret birth charts.
We make our own lives with each choice and decision (or lack of), and so knowing our weaknesses and strengths can only help.
For me the Ascendant and overlay pattern is very important - but I agree the whole chart is too. Before computers, writing out every sign on house cusp, every planet in sign and house and every major aspect plus the Nodes and very soon the character of the individual comes into sight. Even the goals of the life are there.
Everyone will see astrology differently and will have expertise to bring to the subject, so let's keep astrology alive whether it is in daily columns or Sun Signs or prediction or birth chart interpretation..
Cinammon,
I am Sun sign Taurus, Ascendant Libra with Moon in Pisces. Personally i like more people born in Sun sign Libra. I am a bit stubborn (Taurus) and romantic (Pisces). All other belongs to Libra and in my life, I met many people, born in Libra.
I have started with Astrology 1995, to see what is wrong with me (my long chronic pains) and how come I stayed alive, when I took 24 pills (not for sleeping) and felt in a deep sleep. My neighbour found me.
That is also reason that I would like to work with Doctors they practice Astromedicine.
