Lia:
I agree with everything you said! It was not taken personally ... just wanted to give you my perspective. And now some further clarification is in order:
I'm sure some traditional astrologers do work hard and try to help so many - but I am beginning to wonder whether they really ARE helping so many. Because my true identity is 1st stage spiritual I have a yearning to go much deeper than that. I don't consider myself to be a traditional astrologer, but I have always been attracted to the
piece de resistance teachings of JWG, and have incorporated these as much as my ability could do so.
I was not sticking up for regular astrology, but wished to share my intention to EXPAND on the astrology that I have been practising so far. I incorporate the Pluto Dynamic in my readings, and at least am happy that I was on the right track ... but now I wish to go much deeper.
I am fascinated by, eager to learn more, and hopefully even become proficient in expressing the EA Psychological/Spiritual approach to chart analysis. My hope is to ground my astrological knowledge in the EA paradigm.
Just thinking out loud: I have hit a brick wall in my astrology (Pluto transiting 3rd house

), and T-Pluto is squaring my Jupiter in Libra 12th now, 2nd hit, as we speak!
EA is so exciting for me - my soul is jumping for joy - because now I can merge the two things that I love the most! Spirituality + Astrology.
We need to be able to express our opinions on this forum in a safe environment ... and this is what we are doing.
Lia, your insights based on your years of observation and experience are SO deep and serve such a valuable purpose here on this forum. The depth, truth, and compassionate delivery of higher principles that you demonstrate here is wonderful.
I'd like to thank you for giving me the chance to satisfy the thirst for knowledge that my soul desires and to expand on the astrology that I have learned to-date.
Love and much gratitude to you and everyone else!
...Linda
