Actually, Adam, sidereal Gemini is a very sensitive sign. I ought to know!

I'm married to a man with Sun, Mars, Venus and the south node in Tropical

Cancer/sidereal Gemini. The myth is that the sensitivity comes from the

Moon. It doesn't. Otherwise those hard shelled politicians wouldn't have

such strong Moons in their horoscopes.

 

So where does the sensitivity come from if not from the Moon? Perhaps from

the nature of the underlying Gemini stars themselves, which are linked to

the Greek myth of Castor and Pollux. We do know, however (because we've

observed these traits) that this sign is more sensitive (can be very

touchy) than the other signs.

 

But what do people with many planets in sidereal Gemini actually do? I bet

you won't find them home taking care of babies. Gemini is ruled by Mercury.

My husband was a teacher during his entire professional life. The Gemini

twins were very devoted to each other. This may be the source of the

affection and sensitivity this sign displays.

I'll take a look at your chart if you like. Send your birth info to

I'm a fan of Edgar Cayce's astrology too! His emphais is 99 percent on the

planets, right where it should be.

I understand your confusion, but Chrion has no place in sidereal astrology.

It's only an asteroid or planetoid. I've thought a lot about the transition

from Tropical to Sidesreal astrology because I had to make that transition

myself. I can send you some articles if you tell me what format you

like--Word or Wordperfect or rtf??

 

Also, as Juan suggested, you can take a look at sidereal.zip, though I have

some disagreements with some of the sign interpretation.

 

Sincerely,
