A recent insight on Sign 'Energies'

This insight leads me to wonder how much and to what degree the daily practice of astrology (conceiving yourself in an astrological frame whether you have any knowledge about it or not) is constructed by the static way in which we live in this corrupted (one might also remark SUBLUNAR) realm, and I'm pretty sure that it does. Again I don't wish to disparage people for having an insufficient or even false concept of astrology, because after all it's not so much the falsity of it so much as simply being too crude to carry much truth. There really isn't anything wrong with saying "Pisces is such and such," only that, in its generality, it lacks any real substance or weight in understanding on an astral level what being born under a certain sign really means. What, indeed, the very fact of the earth being under the 'reign' of a constellation through a portion of its revolution means in a greater cosmic sense.

Indeed it is a very strange fact that the native is born, let alone born in such a star-studded awe-inspiring unfathomableness as the universe... but in terms of astrology, which I'm going to take for granted given my audience, I am thinking that one must assume the cold distance of the stars. Which means, in short, they are beyond immediate human conception. Not that they are inconceivable. I think we must assume a very terrestrial-oriented astrology. In fact, if you consider yourself in the giant breadth of life, your astrology almost comes secondary. In the day to day and moment to moment reality, you are simply a hyper-intelligent mammal on the planet earth. The stars must undergo a distillation through your crystalline glass mindtubes - despite their vastness, compared to our tiny bodies, the concentration of psychically significant matter resides on earth; otherwise, astrology would have no meaning; that is, who cares how astrology affects my extraterrestrial being?

And yet however the stars reach out to not only the psyche and soul but to our total earthly presence, because if it doesn't gather together all the senses than it is not truly penetrative. In a slightly fatal vein, one does not 'be' one's sign, instead one becomes it. With the planet's it will always be different: these are all solar system bodies on a solar system plane. The Sun, however, is the sibling of the stars in a way which we could only understand if were suns too. That is basically my defense (tho 10th house northnode Pisces Sun) of sun-sign oriented astrology. But I clearly find the dominants of any chart the most powerful determiner: the moon, Pluto, the ascendant, the house concentrations, the aspects all the true guardians of the mystery of personality and essence: but let's not get too serious now, after all I have to speak to an empty audience. In fact, my soul is quite shallow, if only because I feel like somewhat of a carcass, due to my own devices: and one must remember that the sky is always a sea. Whatever that meant to mean.

As I was saying, one becomes one sun sign - though, of course, the North Node is important. Or one doesn't. I think the Moon is always a counterpoint to the Sun, but not in a fundamental antagonism, only a dance. Anyways, I'd love to keep writing but I don't feel very serendipitous right now.
