My part of fortune is in Pisces, and the 7th house, I must say, so far from what I've read in relation to my true node and planets and parts of fortune and the implications of the houses and constellations they fall in etc... So far it's been remarkably accurate lol

I've gone as deep into as my skill level will allow for now though.

Moving on, now, to the next consideration: the North Node.
This could be regarded as the most important item in the horoscope, as it shows the soul's purpose. (See Errol Weiner, Transpersonal Astrology)
I'll enter three choices again, one being the true one, for guessing. In popee's astrology, tathagata's astrology, and withinsilence's astrology threads.

Thanks, Gurth. 1) My understanding is that astrology is based on a multitude of complex calculations which assume that all those objects up there are circling the Earth, and aren't really far away from it. Yes? 2) Now that dam near everybody accepts that, except for the moon (and nowadays a lot of manmade stuff), non of those objects are circling the Earth, and are either really far away - or farther - how does the notion of influence persist? 3) Just in case it has some influence on why I am an unbeliever, I was born at ~3:00 AM on the 23rd of August, 1937.

- thanks for your questions, freethinker.
1) Let me try to explain briefly how it works: always a useful exercise. Let's take a factual case.
My researches often showed that the angle between Pluto and the Moon, as seen from earth, could indicate genius if it was very close to a multiple of 30 degrees. There is no assumption here that anything is circling anything.
So we look at the moment of Mozart's birth, and then we see that Pluto and the Moon were exactly in the same direction in the sky, the angle between them being 0 degrees.
Do this with 420 geniuses, and you get statistical proof that there is a correlation between the planets and genius.
This does not mean the planets are influencing anything. They could have been chosen in that position by the person being born, just for the hell of it. But a correlation is a correlation, even if you can find no explanation. (and I can't). That covers (2) as well.
It's time for my soapies now. I'll answer (3) in 90 minutes time (I hope).

freethinker, continuing where I left off....
(3) All I can say is that your horoscope is a very clear case of a Plutonian genius of the first rank! And that's the most genius type of genius there is. Forever, since an early age, a law unto yourself, probably eccentric.
That does not even presume your stated time (~3.00 am) refers to New York time, as I presume it does. Confirm?
If you are interested, just say so and I'll open a page for your horoscope with a few more details. You are not expected to believe anything!

If you are interested, just say so and I'll open a page for your horoscope with a few more details. You are not expected to believe anything! Southeastern Vermont, slightly ahead of New York time, but the 3:00 AM is only accurate within a half-hour anyway. About this Pluto reference... This light in the sky is pretty dim, significant mostly because its position changes enough against its starry background to be eventually identified as a sort-of-planet only recently in astrological history. How does it fit into the dogma? I have lived plenty long enough to dissuade myself of any teenage notion that I might be a genius. Your theory may be a measure of heightened possibility rather than an absolute. That would make it less amenable to either proof or disproof. It is probably not possible for a non-wealthy person to be eccentric. I have always been recognized by friends and acquaintances as 'kinda strange', but not as 'strange' as the 3-4 genuine geniuses I know. If you wish to continue this 'investigation', I will be pleased to cooperate. It's entertaining, and I am interested in the process, as long as it doesn't get too technical.

It's entertaining, and I am interested in the process, as long as it doesn't get too technical. - My 1979 book says Vermont is -5 hours (by GMT), and so is New York. So is your clock time the same as the New York clock time at any moment? If not, what's the difference? Accurate within half an hour will make no difference to your positions as it happens: it's fine. Ok, I'll open a thread for you and put some stuff on it. Would you prefer to have a go at guessing your names from samples of three, or do you just want them straight?

Two of my pupils are champing at the bit to learn more: they are now ready to tackle The Lunation Cycle, Dane Rudhyar's seminal 1967 book. www.khaldea.com/rudhyar/astroarticles/lunationbirthday_4.php gives a slightly shorter version, and looks like a good place to start to me. I found the actual texts somewhere (free) on the web but now I can't find them again! Please let me know how it goes, on your own threads.

I am always very aware of the astrological seasons and of how they influence me to plan my life on a seasonal basis. Having enjoyed the success run of January ("Great heat in January keeps lizards moving") I have now been aware that this cannot really be sustained, rationally speaking, nor should one try too hard to force the seasons, but rather bend to them like a reed. February is a month where you are expected to repay, in service. Oh well, I am always ready to serve where such service would be acceptable, but it seldom is! I await opportunity...
Then I must be prepared for the hectic and dangerous Pisces: a time of endings... not wanted when everything is going so well! but alas all passes away... but to make way for a new life!!
As example of the dangers of Pisces, recall "Beware the Ides of March!" - an unsuccessful warning issued to Julius Caesar. We are now in Pisces, so beware!
So then one must be ready for the new year, born as a new baby in Aries; then is the time to launch new and enormous schemes!!! And with resolute and firm decisions to act with full steam. The momentum gained from accelerating under full rocket power in Aries will carry one right through a year! Right into the testing battleground of Scorpio, at any rate.
