Hello, all

Just getting back into astrology after about 30 years. Recently retired, and as it turns out, my Saturn return occurred about two months ago -- so I am turning to astrology to help mull things over for greater self-knowledge.

I found this site just last night from a Google search on a topic of particular interest to me, and found such a worthwhile and helpful thread with a variety of viewpoints that I decided to join the forum.

I have a small library of astrology books that I had bought in the late 80s, which is lucky, because the astrology sections of nearby bookstores have really declined in recent years. But I also just remembered that there is a new-age shop not too far from me that used to have a large collection of used books on various metaphysical topics -- will have to give them another visit sometime soon.

In the 80s I did my chart with a pocket calculator, based on instructions in The Compleat Astrologer and using an ACS ephemeris. Recently I shopped around for an astrology app and settled on AstroGraph's TimePassages -- I'm really happy with this choice.

Wishing everyone well in their studies and in general,
MoonBucket

Hello MoonBucket welcome :smile:

keep in mind that ours is an INFORMAL astrological learning forum
there are no structured classes
members practice astrological skills free
no one is paid
therefore
responses to threads
are often from members who are beginners with little or no experience
keen to learn by practice
we also have members with many years of astrological study completed
also
members have day jobs
and those of our members who are professionals
do not provide a complete professional reading for free
members who wish to do so are encouraged to discuss interpreting their own charts
to learn by practice

  • The extended collection refers to texts that are partly astrological or useful for historical research or philosophical principles.
  • The ancient collection contains links to ancient texts, fragments, or secondary sources that cover the ancient period.
  • The scholar's collection contains links to published theses, dissertations, and peer-reviewed papers.

Hi, JUPITERASC

Thank you for the welcome! At first I found your post a little overwhelming with its Jovial abundance of information ;), but that section at the top (before the links start) was a very helpful introduction re: what kind of forum this is, what kind of participants we have, and what to expect.

After about a week here, I think I have found a great forum.

Best wishes,
MB

Gosh I could go for a bucket or two, but that's a problem of mine -- I'm supposed to be practicing some moderation and harm reduction in that area. Mr. Guzzle McSiphon here.

I just got back into astrology after about 30 years last weekend. I think it might have been triggered by the Mars-Saturn conjunction somehow. Being able to help a few people with my beginner's level interpretations has been an interesting and completely unexpected development.

Most of us are amateurs :smile:
Thirty years? That's definitely SATURN
