It's hard to break out of the mold. . . Which is why I created

the sunset method. . . serves both the Western and Eastern

systems. . . something Mark wishes to accomplish.

That's because, in Jyotish, Cancer " looks like a lion " . . . not a crab.

Crabs look like Geminis in Jyotish. It all falls back one sign.

I have met these gifted people as well. Amazing, thanks to Linda Goodman!!

Interesting thought. All systems have their merit. . . in combination

they become impossible. It's like trying to merge two different departments

into a single entity.

 

The ideas I put forth do keep these combinations

in separate chambers, in a matter of speaking, but I found it necessary to

delete the house and sign " meaning " out of the equation.

 

I still get an abundance of information from this methodology without all

the inter-weaving and weighing of planetary placements.

It's the process. Does the Sun, standing all alone without the

benefit of a backdrop (sign), look like a lion? Still, it " rules "

or is lord of the sign of Leo.

Excellent point. . . the mind looks for similarities once the

organizational facilities are in place.
