Belly of the Whale

What is so amazing to me write now is how valid things can be that are far, far from our ability to reason. For instance accupuncture and acupressure, the I Ching, homeopathy, and astrology. My point, check this out. A friend got this for me off of www.asto.com. It is pretty interesting for lack of having a precise word. This is very long and I haven't read it all myself - don't bother. But cool it is.

Blogger is having problems so I don't even know when this will actually get online. Honestly, the essay and last couple entries are much more personal.

Sun in Virgo, Moon in Sagittarius

You are happiest when tending to chores that demand meticulous
attention to detail. The active Sagittarian influence on your personality
inclines you to hurry around, doing many different jobs.

It is often difficult for you to reconcile your love of freedom and
your liberal spirit with the caution and orderliness of your inner self.

Your practicality and innate curiosity coupled with the philosophic
bent of Sagittarius, creates the potential for profound scholarship. You
are a fact collector. Your quest for knowledge and love of exploration
makes you fond of travel.


Ascendant in Virgo, Mercury in the Twelfth House

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Virgo was ascending in
the horizon. Its ruler Mercury is located in the twelfth house.

This indicates that throughout your life you will assume a reserved,
quiet, analytical, critical, and receptive attitude.

Some selfishness is noted. However, if you are able to counteract this
trait with your natural helpful and sympathetic attitude and address
your positive qualities to resolve the problems of others then you will
accomplish your highest spiritual duties and your degree of
consciousness and perception will be expanded.

You are not afraid to work but you like to do things where you can use
intellectual resources rather than mechanical ones. There is some
independence here but don't try to be forceful about it because Virgo's
natural habitat is one in which the person is led by some powerful
authority and where the important decisions are best made by others.

You have a desire for purity and though you don't mind
relating to others there is something that you do dislike: continuous
intrusion of your privacy.

Life will find you in many situations in which you will function as
advisor and counsellor; make use of these opportunities to project the
power of your creativeness.

This position denotes a life that has you cast in rather obscure and
inconspicuous roles. Your intellect is peculiarly subtle. Your life will
be very much motivated by your love for risk and your various
activities of a secret nature.

Try to emphasize your conscientiousness in all the things you do.
