More on horoscope thread

I don't always take astrological associations into account only because I'm not sure that I agree with many of those that are commonly used. In another thread -- General, Tarot Reversals, we are exploring both reversals and astrological associations. In that thread, under the Magician, I have just posted a horoscope or house spread to clarify the meaning of the Magician Reversed as it appeared in a Celtic Cross spread that was being used. Earlier, in the Fool Reversed thread, I noted that the this card represented for me a conjunction or opposition aspect and NOT an astrological planet or sign -- I gave three example spreads to illustrate that. This, I'm sure, is revolutionary practice. For the Magician I am currently leaning towards a "Mercury in Virgo" overtone. Now Justice = Libra seems reasonable although Jupiter was the King of the Gods and Lawgiver while Saturn is strong in Libra. Sometimes I tend to combine a planet and a sign or house as a means of trying to find a more robust fit. Sometimes nothing impresses me. The tread I mentioned on Reversals is helping me to sort out my thoughts. Check it out. Dave.
