Intriguing. I get the worst actor in Star Wars, Frankenfurter, and an Emperor. Darwin, Darwin's social executor (Koresh) and an Irishman who liked to fight so much he went to go kick ass for the Russians hang around me. Plus, lots of death and dismay, plus the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Oh, yeah, plus lots and lots of Easter, the day LSD was first dropped, and four saints.

I'm a conflux of events, a nexus.

Out of curiosity, have you ever consulted a competent astrologer?

There's such a thing as a competent astrologer?

There are, but they're fairly rare, and it depends on how you're defining competency in that area as well.

It's been a side study for me, as a method of psychology and symbolism intertwined rather than for divination. Even as a psychological tool, it's tough to weave everything together. Just because I'm a Leo and you're an Aries (barely) doesn't mean that I'm a self-centered attention-whore and you're a Type-A pushy doer/go-getter.

At the very least, learning how to cast charts by hand means you have to learn to use an ephemeris.
