Mundane Considerations
When I first confronted an astrologer, before my learning began -probably
in the Spring of 1966 (tr Saturn-Pluto opposition, squared by Uranus, conjoining
my Saturn!)- I said what we all think or say when we don't know astrology:
"Do you mean to tell me that, when a plane goes down, everybody's horoscope
on that plane is messed up?" --The astrologer back then attempted no answer,
but he did invite me to start learning about astrology.
That same question is still with us: how do we explain; better, how do we
anticipate collective suffering. How do we get a grip on the occurrence
of accidents, for one person [I'll never forget a client long ago who lived
through a parachute jump in which his chute did not open --I could find nothing
astrological even remotely involved with such a picture!] or for many -just
look at what faces astrology in the midst of the terrorist attacks of September
11, 2001. (And I've addressed much more than my share of horoscopes for prisoners
of war; Jews losing years of their life in German concentration camps, for
example; and then the children of refugees.) --How is the individual tied
in to or victimized by the state of the collective? How does this alter the
level and direction of life itself? Is this occurrence part of what we should
see ahead of time?
On the Forum on this website, fine astrological minds are bringing all
techniques into the discussion, into the quest, to capture definitively, after
the fact, the terrorist attack(s) on the world Trade Center. We are pained
that there are no easily delineated answers; after all, as our critics will
say, "Shouldn't astrology have been able to see THAT coming?"
This discussion leads quickly to considering what wecan expect from
astrology. Should we be able to see that there is extraordinary tension focused
on a certain place on earth at a certain time? I answer, "Yes,", and
it has been proved many, many times that we can. The reason is that our astrology
depicts the coordinates of space and time on this earth, and we humans are
part of that picture as well. We can see disruptions or challenges
to the flow of time in a particular location.
