We don't...John, you are a very good astrologer. We don't always agree, for I get myself thinking sometimes that you may be too "modern", but that is because of my early overly traditional formation, with William Lilly and the like. Anyway, I feel you were godsent. I stumbled in your blog to learn, and much! Even if your blog (because it is a blog and only for that) is not a book, it is full of wisdom, to be refered to, i mean. A true master is not only interested in teaching people what to do, but also how meaningful is doing so. I feel what you say. I appreciated very much your approach on Chiron and I think you maybe the sole astrologer to take it a "good key", instead of a bad (malefic) one (such as overrelating it to suffering and wounding, etc.) You took it out of the self help book section, which I thank you for that, for I have chiron right on my son/moon midpoint, squaring Mercury which, in turn, is sextile my Ascendant. And I get very angry when astologers get stuck in the "wound" and can't see the benefits Chiron brings in terms of understanding and healing. I think it is about the "worth" of chiron, that some technical astrologers seem not to see. I see Chirotic astrolger as fated terapists. They just can't help it. And when they can think outside of the self-help crap, they can really be the best professionals in therapy and healing. Actually, what I think led you to this kind of understanding is you natural ability to question things a bit (maybe traits of Aries in the 9th?) I very much like the low side of the trine, that you describe with the same pace you describe the high one, and that is amazing for I have a Moon trine Neptune and I have been experiencing both sides, since I was born, never beeing able to find someone who put this in so intuitive and natural way. I'm not denying the "malefic" condition of the square and opposition, or the "benefic" one of the sextile and trine, for in techniques such Horary and Electional, they are still very much useful. But, you know what I mean. Life is long, and an aspect will have plenty of time and opportunity to manifest it's higher and it's lower sides. Thanks for the really good stuff here. I'm actually reading almost all of it. And, finishing my compliments, I would like to say that I imensely respect 42 years of pracical astrology. There's things that only time and observation can make for an astrologer. I'm here to encourage you to continue your venture making such 42 year old treasure available for every one. You simply rock. Sorry for the lack of objetivity, Pisces Mercury speaking, lol, and don't pay attention to the flawed english, for I'm actually brasilian and have never been abroad. I'm 24 years old, by the way, 6 of them passionately dedicated to astrology. Greetings from your newest fan.Filipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08544949207821267256noreply@blogger.com
