I'm excited to find this site! It's going to be so nice to talk to people who know the difference between a quincux from a qumquat....I'm Aquarius, forgive me.
When I was 21 years old I met a liscensed astrologer at a party.
He was black haired, black eyed, Cuban, with a black goatee, who leaned against the wall staring at me from across the room, stroking his goatee, muttering mysterious comments under his breath everytime I said anything... like "Hmmm, 'I know'...Aquarius.'" and " 'Let's do it NOW'..Aries". I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, and so, except for the looks I shot at him, largely ignored him. As for the rest of the story, all I'll say is, "He started it."
A few months later I "house sat" for him while he went to Miami to test for his architectural liscense. Before he left, he took my hand and started leading me upstairs...I thought "Uh oh". In the hallway, he pulled down the attic stairs and told me he wanted to show me something. I followed him up into the attic, and there--wall-to-wall were hundreds of astrology books. He grinned at my inner bookworm/child and said, "Knock yourself out."
That was 40 years ago.
After all this time, sadly to say, I still don't know everything about it. I can't calculate a chart because logrithms make me blind-- but I don't come at it from that direction, anyway. I approach it from the psychological/philosophical/Universal Law angle--(degreed in Psychology and Comparative Religions), and a computer printout serves my purpose just fine.
So, that's me. Hello
