Chris,

 

If you re-read your post, you'll see that there is an underlying

sarcasm that wasn't necessary to make your point. But you

misunderstood my post.

 

There were no extraordinary claims. I merely posted some data and

drew some tentative conclusions. I never said my comments were set in

stone. I was merely following scientific procedure: posting data and

making tentative summaries. Of course these conclusions don't mean

much until they're compared to planets in 10th in the other 11 signs.

Then we see if there are any differences between the sets of data.

 

>>That's all I'm saying. If you are going to be successful at

changing people's minds, you will need to marshall more and better

evidence.

 

This is another unfounded conclusion on your part. My post was only

one small piece of an ongoing (and huge) research project. It's one

very small piece of evidence, which is essentially almost meaningless

without supporting data. I'm trained in scientific research ($$$ and

years at universities) I know what I'm doing. I'm not trying to

change anyone's mind. I merely love research and post what I find.

 

>>To better understand the nature of Taurus and test your hypothesis,

one would have to find a random group of people with Taurus planets

and Gemini planets, and see if they differed in their education

perhaps, or in their relationship with the arts.

 

That approach won't work. I didn't really start with a hypothesis,

but only tried to find some points of similarity among the charts.

The Taurus planets need to be in a specific area of the chart and

have a specific relationship to the ascendant. Then (if the test is

for sign influence), all the other 11 signs have to be tested in a

similar way with planets in the same position.

 

We look for anything that stands out from the 12-sign crowd. The

Libran planets I'm testing now in the 10th are giving very different

results from the Taurus planets.
