To tom and to his psychic powers

25
Hello Tom, I was thinking and decided to use my psychic powers too.
I think in the near future astrologers will make an extraordinary revolution in astrology as we know today !
First of all, we will have Ceres to help us know if the person will have wheat alergy.
Then we will have Caron to show death... but as modern astrology doesn?t believe in death, caron will show traveling and mainly spiritual traveling to the shadow of the uncouncious mind.
And, of course, there is my favorite, Xena, the warrior prince, to show lesbian inclination
:brows
the only thing that I regret about this new planets coming to light, is that although I liked Xena, I would rather enjoy if this asteroid was named Buffy, the vampire slayer, because I saw the whole show. And it would be very important to show if the person has a vampiristic personality...

lol,
personally, I think it's an aquarian conspiracy led by rebellious x-generational, x-box(ers) vs. PS2(ers) to keep G-d further away and to deny all saturine typifications and therefore renouncing that their microcosm could even possibly be affected by the fixed stellars (through the 8 planets) and are stratigically stationing more planoids betwix them by attributing "essences" to star dust.

ahem, I'm sure I heard my three "aliens" discussing these matters last night after having been sent sternly to bed before school starting this morning last.

Eeehhhhh !
So let?s see the modern astrologers go to the streets to protest !
:-)

Well thank goodness for that -no protests from me.

For some years I have been a "stateless" astrologer, unable to classify myself either as a "classical" astrologer, (since I use Uranus and Neptune as primary planets), or as a "modern" astrologer, (since I demoted Pluto to secondary status in my own work a few years ago).

Given the IAU decision, perhaps I can now classify myself as an "astronomical" astrologer, if I am allowed a little licence in considering the Sun and Moon to be planets for astrological purposes ;-)
Best wishes

Hmm . I see a problem - and a potential delight for all traditional astrologers:-

From the BBc summary of the new definition

" for a celestial body to qualify as a planet":
"It has cleared its orbit of other objects"

"Pluto was automatically disqualified because its highly elliptical orbit
overlaps with that of Neptune."

errrrr, doesn't that mean they have to disqualify Neptune too?

Kirk...I love your comments here!! I consider myself student of astrology, this has not placed my modern views in a connundrum neither has it affirmed my traditional views.. New discoveries of science only push forward our abilities to observe and to learn and comming up with the wrong answers only take us closer to the right ones.

I laugh along with the rest, whether science proves a theory correct or incorrect, it's still progress...Some quotes i feel related to the topic


Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.
--DaVinci

Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen. --DaVinci

You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there. -- Edwin Louis Cole
