writing, synastric connections, ambition

[Guest guest]

Christopher / Andrew,

 

IMHO the 2nd rules speech and writing or even composing or painting etc.

perhaps even singing and dancing - the manner of expression, the mental

approach to deliver the goods. The 3rd would deal more with the contents of what

one expresses - the mental intention or interest.

 

I have Tarus lagna, Moon in gemini 2nd, katu in cancer 3rd. Mercury is

debilitated in pisces, jupiter in virgo retro. I was always a good speaker and

writer, generally precise and concise. But I have a problem with my voice and

nose too - Merc deb. This precision often awakes the impression that I have a

sharp tongue - mostly if people don´t see the humour of my words. But I don´t

think I am ever impolite or insulting. I rarely swear except for "damn" or

"shit" if something goes wrong, and never apply them to people like "damn you!".

 

I have exalted sun in 12th, with owner mars. I do not strive for fame or

success, but the desire to "achieve" something, whether it was recognized or

not, was always there. It is only during the last few years that I am losing

this desire. At school and in profession I was a prominent person and I

certainly enjoyed the "fame", which I felt I deserved for what I had done.

Getting fame as a "phoney" would not have pleased me at all! That is why I

refuse to play astrologer professionally - I´ve had remarkable success on some

occasions, but know that I have also failed, and cannot be sure of what I see.

 

As to the synastric connections: I wrote about this not long ago. The contact

points between you and all the authors, musicians, composers, painters etc. you

like will be amazing. If anyone asks me to do a chart and I don´t find any

contact point with my chart, I ask for verification of tob. Invariably the

correct one gives me at least one contact. But I take only fairly close orbs,

not merely signs.

Hi, I was wondering, how does the arudha of a house play in all this?

Do I have this right, that from the arudha comes how others perceive us,

from the moon is how we perceive ourselves, and from the lagna is how it

actually is? Could someone please explain this? Angie

Since this is a query derived from my letter:

 

The term arudha itself implies esoteric info. This is subject to the intuition

of the astrologer, no matter what rules are given. The comparison between how we

see ourselves and how others see us is very difficult, in so far that we never

see ourselves as being "bad"! So only what we are and how others see us is

relevant.

 

But here again, we are left only with how others see us. We never know what we

are. Adolf Hitler was an "idol" for over 70 million people. What was he? A force

of evil or the scourge of God to open the eyes of mankind to its follies? How

did he see himself?....

 

For such questions I would trust no astrological interpretation but go on

philosophical principles: Do not judge over others!
