Yes, he was from India. You inspired me to pull out the chart he did for me so I can tell you a little more. But before I delve into that, I can't believe you mentioned solar energy. If I could do anything I wanted, I would restore houses and use all green products. I don't understand why we don't rely on solar energy more than we currently do. And I've been a subscriber to Dr. Mercola's newsletter for a while. Amazing how you tuned into all that (great minds, hehehe.) A somewhat famous astrologer I visited last year indicated I'd already make the move by now and that by June (a few days away) I would be in a good place working at a company where I could really use my talents. Hm, I think he misread something somewhere. But he did say that with my Sun surrounded by Pluto on one side and Venus on the other, I needed to work someplace where I would make a difference "through love." I have to admit, I didn't get it.
Now, about the chart the Indian astrologer did. Hm, I suppose he used another system as the planets are in different signs compared to the traditional Western chart. Oh heck, it's all a computer printout that means nothing to me. His notes are useless as they refer to the late 90's. No wonder I know so little about this type of Astrology. Well, if I ever learn, at least I already have my chart done.
As far as meditation, I tried it many times but I find it impossible. I can't still my mind longer than a minute, if that. I read, read, read, as much as I possibly can and all of my knowledge of Astrology, Tarot, I Ching, etc, is self taught. I have boxes and boxes of books mostly dedicated to the esoteric (and gardening, gotta love that Taurus rising.) Once I move I will be able to unbox all those books again. Of course my curiosity is never satisfied because the more I read, the more I realize how much I don't know. I find my chart somewhat difficult because I just don't fit the typical cookbook descriptions ascribed to the aspects and positions in my chart.
As far as writing, oy. I did so much of it in college. I have to admit, I write well and I credit my writing skills for most of my success in school. But, I hate to write. I mean, I don't mind it for recreational purposes like emailing firends or posting to this site, but I hate writing professionally. I don't really have the patience for it, but I do it when I have to (and I don't do anything half-a$$ed so I try to do it well.)
I appreciate the encouragement you are giving me because let me tell you, I've been feeling just lousy for about a year or so. I feel like I'm spinning my wheels and I am just so angry about all these delays. The anger has been building and that's never a good thing. I lose my perspective when it builds up like this and I need someone objective to tell me to knock it off. I'm so glad I found this site. I trust astrologers and I appreciate the help I've received here.
Things were going so well during the squares from Pluto (can you explain that one to me???) and now I feel like I've been cut off, or left behind or just plain ignored by the universe. It's an awful feeling and I just don't know how to make it go away. If I can make the move by October, that would be so fabulous. Can you see if the finances will be there for the move, or am I going to have to just go and hope to heck I find my way? I hate financial problems. I've had them all my life and I hate it. I'm not a greedy person, but I sure would like to be able to make a nice fat salary someday (soon...)
Thanks again for all your help!
