Stop the war do the astrology dance!
Do you have some great photos for the astrology dance? Is there an astrology dance hall some where? Is it like the waltz or something a little bit more.....??
Stop the war do the astrology dance!
The OP has a specific questionAn easy way to figure the cooks an checks out is to go to the astrodatabank and search on cooks and chefs, and then correlated the combinations.
http://www.astro.com/wiki/astro-databank/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=chef&fulltext=1
There are 98 charts there for Chefs. Im sure that one would begin to see the common elements.
I have asked this question before in Skyscript, but I am not getting sufficient feedback: http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8217
So basically, in traditional texts,
what are the significators for cooks and chefs?
My current hunch is a well-dignified and/or well-placed Mars, in harmonious aspect with Venus. The reason is because cooking involves the skilful use of knives and heat, both of which are signified by Mars (Mars -> iron and fire). However, support from Venus may be needed, as Venus gives the ability to make things pleasant to the senses, in this case taste.
Opinions?
It's sad, but this thread is a perfect example of the downhill slide this forum has made over the past ~5 years. In times past, moderators would've removed extraneous posts and kept it on topic with a warning post. With that being said, it was usually only threads in "Hot Topics" that needed a warning. Not to mention, much more participation and conversation back then. Most of the really skilled, really interesting people are gone now. The traditional astrologers here should band together and create our own forum somewhere in cyberspace.
Good question
*ehem* Guys, we are getting off-topic.
Back to chefs please. I want my pasta...
EDIT:
So Rick, I take it that you collected those charts personally? Or did you get 'em from some database?
Traditional astrologers use ancient textsPeople have taken pot shots from their own personal things that they like in a chart.
I was only suggesting that if one wanted to actually research this, then this is the way to do it, and I gave a reference to allow someone to do that.
98 charts is enough to figure it out. But I cannot do it here, because this is the Traditional Astrology Forum as we've talked to above. And as such, I would be looking for many things to make the identification which are not part of discussion on this forum. That's OK.
I was hoping perhaps that a skilled traditional astrologer of whcih there are several here would want to take some of those charts and and make some kind of determination for the OP.

That means a lot of work for me >_<
Rick,
I asked the question again because I didn't understand your response. So you casted their chart individually. That says nothing about where the birth details came from. They could be from friends (200 chef friends!? O_O), from your own record of celebrity chefs, from forums, from your own country or worldwide, etc. But I won't probe any further; we'll leave it at that.
Zarathu,
I am aware of Astro-Databank.
I wanted to collect some quotes from traditional authors,
and opinions
or reasoning
from the astrologers here,
before carrying out some kind of empirical research.
It's wise to do literature review and finding expert opinions
before doing any kind of research.
It helps to formulate a hypothesis and define the scope of the research.
I'll check out Astro-Databank later when I come back to this research question again. I've got other astrological projects at the moment. The 98 results you found was just about chefs. There will be more results depending on how one searches for the information. That means a lot of work for me >_<
Gauging from the contextJupiterASC,
Thanks. I was going through Arabic era astrological works the other day and saw that book. I might check it out in due time. It's in my list. There's that characteristic vagueness with ancient texts:
8th sign from the Ascendant, from Fortune/Spirit, from Cancer (Thema Mundi) or from Aries?
Or perhaps it was stated, just not quoted here.
