The different avenues of astrology got to be too to much for me and I had to set it aside for a while. Doing this study has put my back into the groove a bit. There is so much that can be done with it. Horay, transits, progressions, composite charts....on and on!
In the study I have been doing of the astrological aspects, I find that the Natal is a good background to have for the personality being read for, but does not really play into the reading of the cards- anyone get a different feeling about that? Yes the natal made sense with the cards & positions, but there is not influencing of the reading. There is one exception, if you could really call it that, and that is when the natal &/or shadow cards/planets/signs connect in some way. I have an Emperor opposition in Aries/Libra and that seemed to strengthen the card pulled for that position (for the good or bad).
I'm going to start with a progressed chart and what it looks like compared to the cards. The planet positions in a progressed chart are fixed, that will be easier to work with. Transits move around to fast for me at this point. But eventually I'm going to find some -pinpoints- of planets and note them- formula for that; I've not fully developed yet. Something like, I pulled the Star, so if or when will Uranus move into Sag (position of card) or I pulled the Emperor- so I'll find something to point to with Mars.
Does anyone know of a site that shows the planetary positions of the day?
I did not get my planetary book for 2005 yet, and might not be able to, so a site would be most helpful.
