Spectacular as always and thank you. Also reading your excellent intro, you mentioned the Epics of Gilgamesh. Only an hour ago I finishes a spectacular book, “There are Rivers in the Sky” by Elif Shakur in which the Epic of Gilgamesh plays a key role. I call these kind of magical “coincidences” angel winks. Because what are the odds??☺️

Yey Rob!! 🌷🙌🦋

Saying you don’t believe in astrology, is like saying you don’t believe in French!

Astrology, literally, saved my buttocks from a life of existential control at the hands of spiritual teachers. That’s no joke.

What a beautiful essay! I used to hang out with Edwin Steinbrecher and a group of astrologers, and he was fond of turning the paradigm on its head by referring to the deriders and detractors as the superstitious ones. Indeed, I have a few books written by scientists who actually investigated the language of astrology and ended up proving that it works.

I love this beautiful essay about what astrology is and isn’t, and all it gives to us with the help of skilled messengers like you. Thanks, Rob.

A Facebook post on Mars in Libra gave it a fluffy feminine quality in pursuing beauty and harmony. I commented that I would like to experience it that way. But on my own I also see it as legal arguments and 'fighting for peace' as my teacher labled it in a humorous moment.

There are ways to see and they may all be valid depending on other things in play and who is playing.

Last night PBS news featured the Texas congressmen who left the state so they couldn't vote on what in a normal time frame in the US would be called election interference by the current President. The Texas leader vowed to punish them.--but it seems the are not breaking a law. And the congressman they interviewed said they would be filing lawsuits against the 'gerrymandering' (how did they get that name lol who was gerry and what is mandering?). So the it appears the stage is set, even before the planet of action, motivation and desire enters the sign of law. And a passion for truth and justice may also be seen.

So, reading this wonderful post, I'm filled with the knowing that we astrologers observe in our own ways and see what we see. That it's not the only thing to see or experience. But it may be relevant at the moment and also reflect the levels of consciousness involved in ourselves and in those we observe. And BTW, the invisible air carries energy and is on the mental element menu. And that birth question leaves out other invisible things, like the otherworld and moments of agreement. And Yes, I used to have issues with Carl Sagan.
