Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 That would certianly be the most comprehensive way of learning astrology. I even took an Astronomy class in community college but I live in the middle of L.A. so I can't see very many stars even if I go up on the roof of the apartment building. Also I have a cognitive learning disability so it's really hard for me to learn by practice. I think the best and fastest way for me is to look at a graph or chart because I am very lagging in my ability to do calculations myself. Your help would be well appreciated. sincerely, Jon Sari M <gerdapp Saturday, November 24, 2007 11:01:18 PM Re: Re: Do Sidereal sun sign threshold dates depend on the year?
