You have a special mind and spirit, Frederick. Somehow you've found a way to take something complex and labyrinthe and made it easy to approximate and grasp. Thank you!
The recognition of this interconnectedness seems to me a vital step in our development as human beings. A culture cannot survive for long in the absence of this recognition. The insane, narcissistic, atomized status quo is only possible in the denial of this truth, which must, sooner or later, be reckoned with. I expect that astrology will play an important role in this and I appreciated the way you formulated it here.
Your gift for distillation without reduction is a haven, especially in astrology which, despite having so much to offer the individual within one’s personal orbit, has been bastardized beyond recognition via so many popular channels. Always a pleasure to read your insights and consider your perspectives.
Knowing that some of my takes are met with receptivity is reaffirming. I don't think I'm saying anything new here, although you're correct that the message has gone missing in the mayhem of astrology's online pop-if-ication. Thank you for your comment, Mitzi.
Congratulations upon your retirement. I wrote a sun sign column for two years in Tucson. It's excruciatingly boring!!!! Same story, another house. Anyway, good on you. I anxiously await your next adventure.
I remember one of my favorite astrologers, the UK maven Dennis Elwell (read his book Cosmic Loom if you want to experience astrology reframed by a modern brilliant mind that isn't Dane Rudhyar [and is light years better than Richard Tarnas]), saying that there was a special circle in hell reserved for astrologers who wrote Sun sign columns. Elwell was an Aquarian, so his edge was rather sharp, but over the years I came to understand his point/warning.
Same here, Frontera. I have one foot in and one foot out — doing so keeps things in perspective. Thank you for your comment.
Succinct and well reasoned; demystifies it for me. THX!
Great, I appreciate the feedback Dennis.
It's something with an air of the sacred, when so much has been reduced to transactional and lost in fatuousness.
Nicely put, HP!

Thank you Marie!
Agreed on the beauty in zooming out beyond factions, its a relational art with the cosmos .

"atomized status quo" sums things up perfectly. Thank you for your comment, Robert.

Oh, man, the mileage I've clocked.

Lucky you, clocking only two years in Tucson.
As a Pisces and one who never reads horoscopes in the format you presented, I was pleasantly surprised that what you wrote was esoterically right on.
That's good to know Ron -- thank you!
