Another New Member (and another Dave)

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I've been 'into' Astrology for over 30 years but it's really been the

last four or five years that I've begun to approach it in a more

disciplined manner and gone through some courses.

 

I started off, like most others, I suspect, using a modern

psychological approach but became increasingly interested in the

traditional approach, looking at horary techniques and recently

reading the works of Arab and Greek Astrologers.

 

I know Dave from another website and his ideas are always intriguing.

Indeed it was an issue that we were both contributing to that led me

here.

 

Now I have a confession to make. I still use the Tropical Zodiac

(hides in corner) but I'm open to new ideas and as I'm beginning to

explore writers who didn't necessarily assume a tropical zodiac, I

want to learn more about sidereal approaches and techniques. You'll

therefore find that I have some learning to do from the threads here

and other sources before I get up to speed.

Hi David,

 

Welcome to the sidereal site! If you have time, please check out the

articles I wrote especially for Tropical astrologers who are studying

sidereal astrology. Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the Lost Zodiac and Aries, Taurus,

Gemini. Other signs to be completed soon. (more below)

I've also become very interested in traditional astrology. If you're not on

the youngastro forum, you'll want to join as Project Hindsight's Bill

Johnston has been posting there.

The sidereal.zip file in the files section of this forum has many articles

on the western sidereal system. Some good, some out of date in my opinion.

Also Jyotish concepts have made their way into this forum as a review of

past posts will show. (Clicking on messages, then 'expand messages' will

give you a whole page of messages all at once. Don't try to read everything

or you'll soon become exhausted. Pick and choose shorter messages that

interest you.)

 

Sincerely,

Therese
