Are you able to answer my questions?
No. Nor, in my opinion, will anyone using any technique they desire.
It seems to me that your response, instead of being thankful for someone's interest and effort to impart some helpful information to you, is confrontational. Apparently with your great knowledge you are ready to leave astrology behind - hence your Disbelief post.
I do not believe in astrology anymore, or very little. I believe this has to do with Jupiter in Virgo.
There are no absolutes in astrology. If there were there would be a never ending stream of exactly correct predictions by astrologers. But the luminaries and planets cannot explain why everyone born when or nearly when a Hitler, an Elvis, an Einstein, a Michelangelo, a Michael Jordan or twins, triplets, and other multiple births do not all live the same lives. We know that those who share nearly the same horoscopes (twins and so forth) do not get married, have children, get divorced, get jobs, become sick, get well, have accidents, or die at the same time.
Any interpretation by any astrologer of any aspect is nothing more than their opinion. Be wary of any astrologer who claims that an aspect absolutely denotes a certain characteristic. Aspects only show potential and how that may be expressed may be altered by the ever-changing aspects which accompany it’s trigger on different occasions.
Venus returns occur many times in a person's lifetime but without the same events taking place when they do. The same is true for the return of any planet be it Mars, Jupiter, or the Sun. Some people have died on their solar return and that never happened on any of their previous solar returns. Same aspect every year – different results as stated above.
Just as no aspect or combination of aspects are signatures for any outcome there is no astrological technique proven to be better than any other with which to make predictions of the future. Not Tropical, Sidereal, Vedic, Chinese, or any other. If there was after all these thousands of years it would be known about and would be used by all who do astrology.
Astrology may accurately indicate when times are fertile for events of a certain nature but has not been, and cannot be, proven to foretell exactly what events will transpire. Is there anybody who is using astrology to win lottery after lottery without fail? Or even once absolutely?
I hope you find the offerings of others more satisfying than my efforts. Best wishes for you.
