SkinWalker: Yeah, planets don't affect people. The idea is from hermetic philosophy of cause and effect, "As above, so below" and stuff liek that. I suck at explaining this, but basically... "Kairos" is the Quality of time, as opposed to Chronos, quantity. We can all tell how much time passed, Astrology is about Kairos. Going into metaphysics some, and probably drawing more fire into the whole thing, your soul can only enter this world when the Kairos matches the quality of your soul.
As above, so below. The postion of planets, cards drawn in tarot, I ching results, what you're doing right now, everything that's happening at a certain time reflects current kairos. Including the positioning of planets, not because they cause it, they are affected by it.
Reading the positioning of planets in relation to where you are born, tells us the Kairos of that time, in that place, which tells us what kinds of people can be born there at that time.
Before the new planets, they simply weren't used. and charts were less specific. Now even some new asteroids are sometimes used, more specific. Liek I said above, even the pattern of how your chickens eat their corn tells us about Kairos, the exact relation is just harder to see, heh.
And I imagine I probably did a horrible job at explaining the hermetic view properly, so please instead of lashing just point out my mistakes and I'll adress them as soon as I can.
As for your profile, My astrologist often makes readings on tapes and mails them places [from Brazil]. Farthest so far was a rock band in Norway. They loved it.
Interested?
ADD: An interesting tidbit, from my limited knowledge of the matter, nothing in your chart points to an affinity with astrology.
Can't tell if it goes so far as to dislike the thoought.
ADD2: oh, and meanwhile
www.astro.com is a nice little tool... Just remembered, prepackaged automated readings don't tell you the big picture very well. It SHOULD be accurate enough, but if not, don't discard the whole thing before using a good, real astrologist.
