Flick, I don't think you read the sign of Aries on the Lost Zodiac site?

Anyhow...let's see what we have....

Did you know that the constellation of Aries (under Tropical Taurus) is

pictured as a ram plopped down in the meadow, lazily looking back over its

shoulder? And that the heavenly Bull is charging forward, hornes extended

as if to gore someone?

 

Taurus is ruled by Venus and is the exaltation of the Moon. Are either of

these stubborn with the tendency to dig in its heels?

 

>tactile, staying power and determination, practicality and earthiness...

 

Very much sidereal Aries. Mars is the planet that hs staying power, is

determined and practical.

 

>, liking for pink, mauve etc, sensual...

 

Tones and shades of Mars and Pluto...

 

But you will have a strong Venus influence--the planet itself--because

you're a writer and designed those beautiful Tarot cards. Did you post your

data here a while ago? If so, could you post it again? (My son has Sun,

Moon and Ascendant in Tropical Taurus, but has no Venus traits whatsoever

except that he seems to never carry grudges or have bad feelings about

people--Venus sextile Moon--no artistic talent, doesn't like to read--likes

to be outside where his work is.)

 

As for your husband, if he doesn't want his data posted, could you give his

year of birth, his ascendant degree and the degrees of those six planets?

This will still preserve his privacy if there's no name, no time and no

place of birth.

 

Flick, what are your favorite Tropical sign books--where you learned the

meanings of signs? Sometimes the Tropical observations are quite good. And

sometimes certain authors totally miss on some of the signs.

 

Blessings,

Therese

LOL I don't think it matters how the symbolism applies - if my western

Taurus characteristics apply to vedic Aries, fine as long as it gives a

description we can work with. BTW, I also exhibit signs of Aries moon...

Yep, can be. Exaltation of a planet doesn't make it perfect, it just means

it works the best it is able.

Writing is a function of Mercury, also related to Sagittarius. Mercury is in

Sag for me in both systems, and is 3rd house karaka in 6th, and Jupiter

rules my 9th and is atmakaraka, so writing will be an apt way for me to

earn, especially spiritual subjects.

I rarely read tropical sign definitions now: I've been doing this for 30

years, a lot of that time on a professional basis, so I can't pin down

specific books now. Most of my learning has come from clients over the

years, seeing how the original foundation I acquired relates to them on a

personal basis.

 

Anyway, I think it's pointless trying to favour one system over the

other...both work, both are strong in different ways.
