I read this post, as I do all your posts, with great interest Frederick. Having seriously begun to study astrology after you and I began working together in 2012, I agree one is always a student of astrology. My own studies have led me to believe that one’s soul purpose is indicated/symbolized with the Moon’s nodal axis. So, I disagree that astrology can’t help us discover this. However, I agree one won’t learn much of use from bad” books. IMHO, the best book out there on this topic is Jan Spiller’s “ Astrology for the Soul”. But, maybe I’m wrong and I haven’t contemplated astrology long enough lol. You asked what art is. My question is then, what is nature? I think the two, art and nature, are equally important. Very curious to read your thoughts on all this.Thank you!
I was addressing the more outrageous, sometimes vulgar claims that the more commercially shrill websites tout. You're familiar with them I'm sure. But it might have been better that I mentioned those specifically in the article, Deborah.
Still, despite how inspirational a book might read, there is always, for me at least, an x-factor within a birth chart that takes time, meditation and ongoing awareness to discern. And that x-factor would be, in some schools of thought, be considered one's 'fate' or 'destiny' -- although even those terms are slippery and can become problematic.
Ultimately this is a very private thing, between you and your horoscope. I don't care how gifted an astrologer is, that x-factor will always be a codex within the soul that is as mysterious as it is -- over time -- self-evident.
Yes well put. Amateur psychologists abound while new teaching takes away everything learned since Freud and turns the field into a farce.
That sums up my complaint succinctly, Judy!
Wait, I thought you were into "woke" culture.??
I'm into 'sane' culture -- I'm politically agnostic.
