Like I stated earlier my interest in astrology started recently. After a complete transformation of my personal life I am looking for answers. I have already read several astrology books, I frequently check astrology websites and I must say until this point I am more confused than having found any answers.
Some of my observations so far. Many people don’t know what are they talking about when it comes to astrology. I am very analytical and logical person so explanations like Ceres is transiting through your 7th house does not resonate with me simply because if this was correct this transit alone could not have an impact just for me but for everyone that had the same transit in their 7th house. But this is not the case just for checking a few charts of family members and friends.
Aspects are extremely confusing because there is no guide to follow! Every book I have read has different interpretations so far for many of these aspects and websites are even worst.
I have found conflicting information in regards to how to interpret a solar return and solar arcs.
So I am looking for answers. How one can decide what method to follow? There must be something more than the usual "in my experience this is what works" kind of an answer.
I want to understand why some people have results with placidus and others with equal or whole sign house systems. It cannot be that both work!
I am closing with an excerpt from the book "The Eagle and the Lurk" that I found it very informative and interesting: "From time to time we encounter a client or a friend whose natal chart does not respond to transits, or progressions… this happens to about 5% of the community…"
What is the reason for this 5%? What are you supposed to do if you are such case?
Any thoughts from this community to point me to the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for any help!
