Oh, Tom you've got to come to Australia! Choose your topic, you'll be wonderful - and keep the trad ast momentum going down under. Hell, come to New Zealand while you're at it...we're quite like Australians, just more polite!!

A whole-hearted endorsement from me - it was an excellent conference and I enjoyed both the wonderful line-up of speakers and the chance to meet other student & professional astrologers. Thank you to Julie, Charles & Eve for their outstanding organisation and warm hospitality; and warmest go...

Ah, thank you for reminding me about the eclipse, Margherita - and 26 January happens to be Australia's national day... Forum: Mundane & Financial Astrology Topic: Comet Lulin Replies: 124 Views: 37093 Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:48 am Jump to post
Comet Lulin & Victorian Bushfires Thank you all for an interesting and well-informed discussion about Comet Lulin and what it might signify here on planet Earth. What leaps out at me, here in New Zealand, is that Lulin first became visible to the naked eye a day before the devastating bushfires erupted in Victoria, Australia - this ...

I've just realised how long ago Andrew kicked off this particular topic and that it's really PFN's recent contribution which has brought the whole discussion forward again. Shows how long it takes me to catch up with the rich network of conversations going on here!!

Happy New Year everyone! I'm glad you raised this topic, Andrew - it caught my eye because I know several people with Mars in Cancer and, like you, I've found it puzzling because of its dual fall/triplicity status. I found myself nodding in agreement with most of your initial comments : yes, hung up...

Garry, many thanks for reporting back with your take on Quantum Enigma . It does seem to have been written more for the authors' colleagues and students than the wider public - at least some sectors of which don't have quite so much trouble with aspects of quantum physics that confound scientists! S... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Quantum Enigma Replies: 10 Views: 11631 Sun Feb 03, 2008 10:49 am Jump to post
Thanks Garry - I'm very happy to be a putative prod relayer (!) and look forward to reading what you think of the book. And thank you for recommending Entangled Minds - I've located it at a local bookshop and will hunt it down this week. Over the past 20 years or so the general New Zealand attitude ...

Quantum Enigma I apologise in advance for throwing this post in under a new heading when I know that quantum physics and astrology is frequently discussed on this forum, has already been deeply considered by Garry and several others and is a topic of public debate in various places - though not in New Zealand, whe...

Hi Claire, I'm interested, rather than expert, in astro-meteorology, but the weather is always a good discussion topic, and a great exercise for astrologers! Yes, Mars in Aries ruling the 4th tightly trine Pluto in the 1st, weakly trine Saturn in the 9th, with Jupiter in Sagg rising all seem to indi...

I've just had a look at John McEnroe's chart (from data posted on the Astropro site, no source given: 16 Feb 1959, 10:30 pm CET -1:00 Wisbaden, Germany) and found he has a similar T-square involving Mercury, Jupiter, Mars and a (possibly too) widely aspected Moon: Jupiter 1 Sagg, 2nd house Mercury 3...
