Thanks for all the interesting astrology info. I confess that I know next to nothing about even basic astrology, much less the influence of asteroids ;-) Would you have any recommendation for a source of information (book, website, etc.) that could satisfy a little of my curiosity about astrology? Thanks! Also, thanks to everyone who has written about the retreat. It sounds like it was a wonderful time, and it gladdens my heart that it went so well. Thanks, also, for the pictures. It is nice to see faces to match with names. I hope life is treating everyone kindly. Namaste, and take care- Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Vesta, most ppl knows Mars represents active energy ? I don't know too much about astrology either. Thanks in advance, Dharma. I have also seen lots of falling stars and fire works in sleep, but I believe this is "my own" energy just acting up at night. >The one coming up on the 31st looks like another whopper.

And who says darkness cannot be light at the same time, such as the void is filled with itself and not empty yet at the same time is devoid of any characteristic ? Love, Amanda.

The one I use is Neil F. Michelsen's _The American Ephermeris for the 20th Century: 1900 to 2000 at Noon_. (Yes, I have to buy the next one fast! ) This ephemeris gives positions for all the known planets plus Chiron... Michelsen says: >A MONTHLY POSITION is given for the recently discovered planetoid CHIRON, >whose 51-year orbit around the Sun is between Saturn and Uranus. >Suggested keywords for Chiron are teacher and healer, related to the sign >of Sagittarius. I also use an astrology program called Astrolog for computer calculations, instead of doing them all "by hand," which used to be pretty time-consuming. Astrolog gives the known planets and Chiron, and it also gives four large asteroids that some people are using now: Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta. It also gives the position of Lilith, which is supposed to be a hidden planet on the other side of the Sun from the earth, I think. (Don't ask me how its position is known. )) As I said, I haven't been using these four asteroids. I know nothing about them, except that some people have been using them and apparently find their movements meaningful. Once in a while, as I look at the list of positions, I do notice something interesting in their positions... so maybe one of these days, I'll look into them more. I happened to notice Vesta's very interesting position at this Full Moon eclipse and opposing Mars a little later. If Vesta is indeed a meaningful force in the planetary picture, then this might be significant... hard to know how to state that without getting into some theory of energies etc. I'm sure you could find people who could tell you more about Vesta... Jeanne Garner may use the asteroids. If she isn't still on K-list, I could give you her email address privately. >(most ppl knows Mars represents active >energy ? Yes, the physical, the male principle, aggression, active expression... for instance, its position in a personal horoscope tells a lot about how a person expresses physically or channels various energies into physical expression. Its movement has been called "the action time-table," and it's considered very important in prediction. So just the movement of Mars over the eclipse point is very significant! >I have also seen lots of falling stars and fire >works in sleep, but I believe this is "my own" >energy just acting up at night. Sure, unless something seems especially symbolic. The language of dreams and of the unconscious is symbolism. Of course, your perception of something happening in the outer world could also turn up in your dreams... and Alan Vaughn in _Prediction_ makes a good case for precognitive knowledge in dreams. He thinks it's in everyone's dreams, though it may be just one precognitive thing in a larger dream... gives that "deja vu" experience when it actually happens.
