Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Hi, Adam, welcome to the list! I find your post very interesting, although I can't answer your questions. My own experience with Tropical astrology has been exactly opposite from yours. Tropical descriptions of my signs never struck me as true for me, and in many cases seem even opposite from what I am; and those who know me also tend to laugh to see me described the way I am routinely described by tropical astrology books. I am looking for some answers to some troubling questions myself and hope you find the answers to your questions too. elisabeth --- Adam B <fulywob wrote: --Thanks for your time and response! I'm still confused and don't know how to adjust my context since I've been thinking " tropically " for so long, Although I believed tropical astrology was related with what was actually going on in the sky. I've studied Edgar Cayce's works and he also promoted focusing more on the interactions between the planets rather than the " signs " they were in. Now I wonder what do I do with my beliefs that I have the Moon (Ruler of Cancer), Mars and Venus in Cancer. Where do I place all of my sensitivities, and emotional energies, and other such things? How do I undo the validity of these things I've felt such a relationship and connection with all these years? Do you know of any sites or astrologers who could do my sidereal natal chart as well as provide interpretations and maybe even help me with the transition from tropical to sidereal? So much of what Jan Spiller wrote of my " tropical " natal influences rang so true for me. Why is this ? Am I just brainwashed? Help! And then I wonder am I just going to be brainwashed by siderealists? Oh I wish I could intuitively/empathically tap right into those planets and sidestep all of the human interpretations! ____________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Adam... I suggest you put the signs down for awhile and simply focus on the planets themselves. Look at the angles and their relationships with the planets. > > --Thanks for your time and response!

Contact Ken Bowser. His profession is to do " readings " in Sidereal. > So much of what Jan Spiller wrote of my " tropical " > natal influences > rang so true for me. Why is this ? Am I just > brainwashed? Help! Dude.... grab a handle... Its OK to find value within a tropical perspective. There are some elements which are part of the " stucture " I have developed for myself to understand " PCB " Planetary Cyclical Behavior. the Seasonal Ingress points are cyclical sensitive points.
