Same placing but transformed. Sun = who? planets=what about the who? signs=how do the above? aspects= to what degree/facility do the above houses=where will all these manifest? that's a pocket edition of all u need to know. the catch? no 2 chts are alike!! so u really have to LIVE n recognize the processes n they are all around us n then just like cooking u can intuit what will happ in the psyche when u combine certain ingredients. et voila! Snuffy MacDuff, my cairn, has to go poopy walk n so perforce must i. i can't hold his leash anymore so go out w/my middle daughter who lives next door n is an angel these days n turned me hair white in her teens! talk of transformation! parents of the world NEVER GIVE UP! n now i can watch her w/HER teen-ager. tee-hee! love u all n sorry bout the goof - it's a chap in new book. love cottontail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
