2-, from Mark, 12/27.... How to learn astrology? and the Dummies Groups.

[Guest guest]

Now, here's a good example for this group re. Mercury's Retrograde notion.

 

I've been experiencing all kinds of manners of slight intellect faux pas.

 

In other words slight little mistakes, like this.

>> Hello,

>>

>> I really feel frustated when I see about 40000 messages in the this

>> mailing list and compare it with my current knowledge about the

>> field. I tried reading the list from Mail #1 and tried extracting

>> important information but due to the nature of the list, the

>> information is ofcourse disorganised. I know everything I need is

>> here and but I can't assimilate it and that increases my anguish.

>>

>> I read a few books like "Learn astrology the easy way" by Dr. Gauri

>> Shankar Kapoor, "Vedic Astrology for the modern western astrologer"

>> by James Braha, "Vedic Astrology" by Penguin Publishers.

>>

>> All are nice books but at the end I still feel that something is

>> missing. I wonder if other books shall introduce a method of study

>> besides providing the theoretical knowledge. How to become an

>> astrologer?

>>

>> Can we have a small subgroup of beginners in the field on this

>> mailing list with the size of the group limited to something like

> 5.

>> We can then use of following approach:

>>

>> One of us (in turns) shall present a horoscope of a person that

>> he/she knows persoanally (excluding your own horoscope and of your

>> dear ones). Others in the group can try and analyse the horoscope.

>> The person who presents the horoscope shall then list the actual

>> traits and events associated with the person. Maybe we can have a

>> weekly horoscope. Ofcouse, others are free to comment on the mails.

>>

>> I hope this will help. If you have a better idea, we can try that.

>>

>> Being extra optimistic as I usually am, maybe we can have a

>> learned guru help us out from difficulties.

>>

>> Kindly reply if you find this idea worthwhile.

>>

>> I propose that we call our group the "Dummies Group". Only for

>> emphasing the present knowledge of subgroup members.

>>

>> Thanks & Regards,

>> Manu
