Hello Looking for Jupiter
Cheers,

Look, we are all not perfect and I know I for one make mistakes on a regular basis. For me it’s not about having to be absolutely correct with everything you say, it’s that you are making the effort to make an informed post. As I had posted earlier to Kaiousei no Senshi, I’m most interested in conversing with those who demonstrate an earnestness and a genuine interest in the topic. I felt coffee had a genuine interest and openness, so I replied. Moulin and Sven are serious students and I have all the time in the world for them. If there is misinformation, and I have more correct information I will tend to refute or re-direct the mis-informed post. There are others who have spewed rhetoric and contributed nothing and I, for one, choose to ignore them.I dont think its ok for anyone here to talk about anything, that they cant back up.
Looking for Jupiter, I will say I disagree with that thought. IMHO I feel the astrological community has spent way too much time fiddling with outdated methodology. Ask your physician how much medicine has carried over form the 1920’s, ask an psychologist how much psychology has carried over from the 1920’s, ask an evolutionary theorist how much that discipline has changed since Darwin, ask an astronomer how much of their work is the same since Neptune was discovered, I could go on and on, but you will find most of those disciplines carry over way less than 10% of the earlier knowledge. And most of these scientific realms seem to be able to transition much easier than the astrological community, when new and better methodologies are introduced. We are indeed in a unique situation with astrology in that it is an ancient discipline and more carriers over with us than with others. However, IMHO we attached to way too much that has been replaced with better ideas.The whole of astrology has roots....something that seems to be ignored.
I think questions are great. We were all new to astrology at one time. If I can help point someone in the right direction, I will. I’m not so keen on the people who want to be spoon fed and don’t want to put in the time to get at least a base, a foot hold so to speak, with the subject area being discussed.In the interest of keeping people on there toes and so people are not just finding bits of astrology to fit in with what they want to see, I think it is important to question each other and our methodology.
I do to.I actually think this is a very grown up discussion.
Cheers,
Kevin
