Most reliable astrology practice?
« on: 28.03.2008 at 04:28 [UT] »boy

I'm asking those of you that have studied astrology and observed it in practice over time what you consider theMember

most reliable and consistent aspect of astrology that you have seen. One of the great things I see about
astrology is the fairly consistent definitions of the signs and planets across most books. I don't mean tonarrow to any particular type of astrology for Natal, Transit, Predictive, Horary etc systems. I just want to knowwhat you've seen as the most remarkable and reliable observation you have seen the most. To the point where
you almost predict it to re-occur, if you simply don't.
For example, at least with my present 17 year old car, a reliable but worn Volvo 240, the only time It has
broken down on me requiring a trip to the shop has been during the last 4 mercury retrograde periods.

Gender:I'm just looking for small, concrete examples, although it would be cool to know of a highly reliable complex
system, but I don't see such systems generally giving simple answers. I'm just curious what some of you see
as near 100% reliable for one detail to occur. Like I expect my car to break down next merc rx. It could be anatal trait or personal observation like "women with taurus moons always hit on me first, and I have a taurussun."I don't need to hear any speeches on why astrology is not that reliable, I could write one of those.
I just want to hear some stories that solidly verify astrology in your eyes as being practical and consistent. I
find them inspirational.

The consistent descriptions of signs, planets, houses, and aspects are what attracted me to astrology. I foundby looking at my chart in terms of signs, planets, houses, and aspects, the meaning of these parts of the chart
were easily seen in my life.
I also was very interested in the planetary cycles and the direct way that we can see them in people's life: theSaturn cycle and the 30-something years, the mid-life crisis and the Uranus opposition, retirement and the 2ndSaturn return, etc.

you are a master at creation.
Life is creative simply because we are the creators.

Astrology is a timing tool that we, the makers of our lives, use to be able to understand better the classificationof energy available in the universe at a particular point in time.....and by applying some of the knoweldge wehave are able to understand it a little better so we are not caught unawares and can use it as best we can in ourlives ..... or adivse others of our opinion....

Astrology does not make anything happen. We do. And we are not controllable or predictable! We are notmachines!

G transits are like clock-work for predicting manifestation in my chart. With a natal G in j in the 1st (on theasc.), I know my life will change, predictably, every 7 years, during a G transit. Never fails. I could give you thedates of major life changes that coincided with these transits, and they always fall at the 6-8 year mark. It takes

G approximately 7 years to go through a quadrant of the chart, or, 3-4 signs, and that's the period of time I
usually have to live with a decision made during a G transit.
since it is so predictable, and G represents Kronos, the time-keeper, I think of G in my chart as a life-clock.

Dynamic aspects, especially the quadratures (0, 90, 180 degree aspects)... dispositorship networks...
midpoints... astrocartography, especially relating to solar cardinal ingresses and eclipses.

90-93 240's are some of the most reliable, well-built cars you can find. Smart choice... I've been driving early90s 4-cylinder volvos since around y2k, what a great car.

I've found midpoints to be the most complex system that gives simple, reliable results, especially when dealing
with mundane and events charts. Of course, only as good as one can interpret the planets in the context of theexperience.

Should we unpack this statement just a bit? I mean, if you could write a "speech" yourself on "why astrology is
not that reliable" then an "inspirational" story would likely be false. Even if really, really, inspirational.
Astrology shouldn't be about getting jacked-up and glazed-over.
I think astrology works best as a tool for self awareness. Not for prognostication or turning individuals intoastro-stereotypes.
Mathematically, I think we deal in probabilities. Esoterically, we deal with potentials, not biographies.
I find astrology to be deeply inspiring as a tool for self-awareness and as a glimpse of human potentials.

derives solely from inter-planetary aspects in a natal, transit or synastry chart.

It is just so easy to build up informal statistics about the (high) percent of the time when their meaning was on
the mark (as opposed, say, to introducing numerous other potential influence peddlers into the mix – I can only
admire those astrologers who do so –beyond the signs/houses- and remain confident about their informalstatistics).

Gender:I took heart in the recent “news” @ www.space.com that they haven’t yet been able to “see” gravitational
waves although “they” are pretty sure these waves exist. It reminded me of the waves emitted by the planetson which “they” are not (yet) spending any money to try to measure.
Well…astrology helped me to “see” those waves and even to measure them unscientifically but nevertheless withpredictable results. Not the 100% predictability lusted after by Con, but a % sufficient for me to enjoy
declaring things to people as a very likely truth (about themselves or their relationships), without hesitancy andoften in public. I don’t dare to publicly expose myself that way concerning house and sign-based
interpretations (although I do “feel” the signs and will use them as filler).
So Con, might you answer your own question by indicating what part(s) of astrology provides you with thiskind of safe harbor….?
And Ed, are you implying that Uranus represents astrology and that our Sat bears down on the discipline in amost reductionist fashion? You will realize that I never associated the square w my approach to astrology,
while you (enjoying a Uranian influence on a luminary -albeit hovering near the Sat side of the square) canthereby fully justify a deep talent in the subject. Alas, I have only “our” Merc/Pluto trine to thank (and even
there you are tighter)….!
