sapienza
Inspired by Minderwiz and the Traditional Astrology thread I have been learning as much as I can about this approach. I'm finding it absolutely fascinating, but also a little worrying. Just hoping that someone here can help me out with a quick question.....please.
In the traditional approach the 2nd, 6th, 8th and 12th houses are not 'prettied up' the way they are in modern astrology. This is fine until I realise (with a sinking feeling) that I have a pretty full 12th house, my husband has Sun and Venus in the 6th, one daughter has a 12th house Moon and, most worrying of all to me, my other daughter has an 8th house Sun. Now, maybe I shouldn't be worried, it's just that I don't know enough yet to know what exactly all this means. Can a benefic planet in a horrible house make things better, or worse? Or is it more about whether the planets are dignified or afflicted. I hope my question makes sense and I apologise that in the end it hasn't ended up being that quick a question after all.
