IS IT TRUE? FOR VIVEK AND CHRIS.

I'll agree with that one.

 

What I didn't agree with in Vivek's statement was the business about

following and believing blindly in astrology. Some one else has pointed out

that to be told to follow blindly is a statment made by cult leaders all

the time...I'm sure he didn't mean to sound like that, too. Not what he

meant.

 

And yes, astrology isn't a hard science to be sure. Consider it an art,

consider it whatever you like, I have no problem with the terminology.

 

And cool yoru husband is a statitian--if I can even spell the word.

Gauquelin yes, worked with Olympic atheltes, because he thought to use

people that excelled in their fields would make it easier for him to see

trends. He also used WWII generals, writeres and artists, i think, if I can

rememmber correctly. And the percentages were small indeed, (about 12% at

minimum, instead of 8% in each house, which would have been if placement

were random) And I'm sure you've seen that already.

 

Yep, astrology does deal with a lot of grey areas --or maybe I should say

there are a lot of ways of looking at the same chart, iaren't there? And

it's going to vary from culture to culture, often.

 

Best Wishes,

Dear Denie et al

 

I'll never forget how proud I was to hand the Gauquelin books over to my

then new sweetie, the statistician.

He looked at the research and immediately discounted it because G. knew the

occupations before he did the research therefore biasing he results.

 

That is when I realized to try to attract "them" was not a good investment

of my time and energy. (thus spoke my Saturn in the 10th)

 

Once we had this little exchange. I told him: "You sold your soul to the

cult called science." His response: "You are presuming that I had a

commodity to sell."

 

Great grins, and hopefully I have not just offended anyone. This

relationship is very solid and we are so much alike in so many ways other

than world vies <grins> that I have been able to learn where to put my

energy and where to hold it.

 

much appreciation for the dialogue sans venom.
