waybread, thanks for articulating some of my many concerns with traditional astrology and anachiels post.. i am not comfortable with all of modern astrology either, but to me it comes down to what i think is the same throughout.. people are capable of error and fallacy no matter what time they lived on the planet - past or present.. to idealize a particular time or era would seem to want to ignore the fact people are people who do the same brilliant and bone headed things that people typically do, no matter the time frame..
one of the most engaging astrologers of modern time for me, given the wealth of knowledge they shared, or were very central in helping foster is reinhold ebertin.. i think much of his work came out of alfred witte who is largely responsible for uranian astrology.. if i was to identify with only one area of modern astrology with the use of the 90 and 45 degree wheel and dial and the focus on midpoints, this would be it.. it is what i do and what i love to do.. it is unfortunate that many folks new to astrology, or first learning about astrology are unaware of his work...
