LOL! I'm not impressed by Venus Star Point - to my mind it's it's just another of those astro board games ploys.<br /><br />As for Eris - it is interesting to experiment, but even in mundane issues Eris's orbit of 560 years puts reliable detailed historical research in many foggy areas globally - and it has to relate globally, not just to USA/Europe. Also, because human sensibilities change so much over that long period and the way of life on Earth changes too, if astrologers did find something of interest, it would probably be misunderstood from our vantage point in the 21st century. <br /><br />As for Eris's position in respect of human individuals' natal charts - I doubt it could be of any relevance at all. As for Eris transits - same likely applies for individuals, but I shall find out soon enough as Eris is around a degree from my natal Aries Moon right now. :-) <br /><br />I prefer old school Western too, and a stripped down "acoustic" version, at that. :-)<br /> <br /><br /> Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-91677283079745673112016-04-12T09:59:05.361-05:002016-04-12T09:59:05.361-05:00The Arielle Guttman - TMA link was interesting. I...The Arielle Guttman - TMA link was interesting. I'd not come across "Venus Star Point" prior and found it peculiar that "Venus Star Point is a registered trademark of www.sophiavenus.com & Arielle Guttman" [ http://www.beliefisnotrequired.com/venus-star-point ]. One thing for sure, there's always something astrologers provide as new hypotheses, but this one threw me with its registered trademark...LOL. Better to call it for what it is: the previous Sun-Venus conjunction prior to birth.<br /><br />I'm old school and am not a fan of asteroids, planetoids, or hemorrhoids. I appreciate the notion of keeping it simple. Yet I concede that since Eris' mass is slightly larger than Pluto, it deserves special attention.<br /><br />Being a Bernie fan, I enjoyed her positive astrological comments toward him. She omitted that his Moon is less than 5* conjunct his Mars, which adds importance to her observations regarding Eris' current transiting position conjunct his Mars.<br /><br />Bernie's natal Eris (chaos) is 5* Aries [ https://astrology.richardbrown.com/eph/Eris.1900-2103.quick-eph.txt ] and exactly trine his Pluto (the collective) in Leo. Guttman's natal charts in the TMA article provide smaller asteroid placements, but not Eris...go figure! Eris makes no significant aspects in the natal charts of The Donald or Hillary.<br /><br />Using my old school astrology, I still say that the Jupiter-Saturn and Saturn-Neptune squares are more influential in this election cycle, with the carry-over of the Uranus-Pluto squares of the past several years. The collective mood is provided by the transiting planets and the candidates' natal charts, and transits to such, fulfill the commitment toward the collective, for better or worse.mikenoreply@blogger.com
