Philosophy and North Node Return« on: 10.09.2011 at 02:37 [UT+1] »There are times when I am prompted to do things that I should not be doing. I should resist them but I donot. This is one of those times. What Time is it? North node returns to the natal in the sign of Sagittarius, thePhilosopher. It is in 10* orb to the ascendant ruler, which was packaged in the seed DNA nucleus with Urania,Posts: 222

the associate for Mathematics and Astrology. Philosophy does include the philosophy of psychology, religion andscience. Venus Urania is the love for Mathematics and Astrology. Venus Sagittarius is the love for Philosophyand Religion. In the third house, it is to chat with the neighbours. Ruling the first house, it feels good to doso.
I was initiated into the religion of Physics and Chemistry at the age of 15, and Mathematics was the Rule. Thiswas my bias and prejudice and it is difficult for me to read works like Liz Greene and those that call for
authority, Famous Astrologer, Ancient Astrologer as proof of an argument. A Scientist can be right with ninestatements that he made, but he could be wrong in the tenth. His laws of science may be accepted by thegroup mind but later years prove the theory to be inadequate.
I am prompted irrationally to share my notes here.
Adler.

They are taken from “Aristotle for Everybody,” by Mortimer

Why should people think philosophically? Don’t ask Sagittarius. The question is not for him. He is prejudiced.
It is to help us understand things we already know, understand better than we now understand them.
Aristotle’s thinking began with common sense, a shared sense, and ends with a universal sense, which may beless common, though the word is the same.
Classifying things was one of the skills in which Aristotle excelled. Virgo too has this distinction. Another wasin asking questions.
What differentiates all living organisms from inert bodies? They take nourishment. They grow.

They

reproduce.
What differentiates animals from plants? They are not rooted. They have sense organs.
What differentiates humans from other animals? They are thinking animals, able to engage in philosophicalthought.
Humans have three dimensions. We have man the artist or artisan, the producer of things. . He creates beauty.
This is the productive thinking.
We have man the moral and social being. He creates good and bad, goodness. This is the practical thinking.
We have man the knowing being, the learner and thinker. He creates truth from error of thinking. This is thetheoretical thinking.
Mortimer Adler went into details of each of these types of thinking in the book.
Aristotle argued that there are five levels of knowledge as follows :1 ) Self –evident truth.
2 ) Opinions of mathematical conclusion.
3 ) Opinions of scientific observations.
4 ) Opinions of philosophical conclusions.
5 ) Opinions of historical facts.
There is only one truth, the self –evident truth. All the others are opinions according to Aristotle.
I still do not know why I share this post. It just feels good for the ascendant ruler in third to get it out to theneighbours and chat with them. In the process, it may unbalance them. That is their risk in reading this on
the internet. Oh yes, I am reminded of the smiley.
Libra rises, but Sagittarius rules,

Re: Philosophy and North Node Return« Reply #3 - on: 10.09.2011 at 08:04 [UT+1] »Hi Thomas,
Thank you for writing about NN return in Sag. I am about to have one too (born 1956 NN at 6 Sag) and would
like a deeper understanding of it. Mine is in the 5th house with ruler Jupiter in the second in Virgo. So I likemy philosophy to be earthed and practical, perhaps this is also a more female trait? I also like it to be colourful
and self-evident from the way I live. At its best my lifestyle is one of chuld-like adventures and I love playing
with kids.
I have often thought there must be a key expression of the NN, some NN-related activity that would bring all
the strands of my life together and make sense of it all. But perhaps this is not so, perhaps it is more anattitude or belief that can permeate everything from the washing of the dishes or the climbing of theHimalayas.
I have a strong preference for philosophy that springs directly from concrete experience, having had too muchreligious dogma of the catholic variety in my youth where there was plenty of preaching and no practising atall.
Tomorrow Mercury, ruler of my SN, conjuncts Jupiter ruler of my NN, so your thread was timely for me, as thisis a good period for talking to the neighbours, as you put it so well, about philosophy.
Thank youAnne
