Nelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't be sad
And I am not the *only* one here that you might learn from..... When you write:
quote:
I don't get all of those wonderful articles that everyone get either excited or scare of.
..... it's like you've never heard of or seen a shark, and you are standing in the water at the beach while everyone's screaming, "Shark! Shark!" and running past you out of the water :-D
If you are going to go swimming in Florida, it's probably best to know about sharks Nelly, first you need to become familiar with the shark and what it does (the basics): the meanings of planet and sign and house. Then become familiar with the meanings of planet *in* sign and planet *in* house. Then the next integration -- planet in sign in house. Then the next one -- planet/sign/house aspecting planet/sign/house.
Of course you don't *have* to learn/internalize all of that -- you can find any number of "cookbook" interpretations on the web and in books. But if you only go the cookbook route, something gets lost in translation: it doesn't RESONATE as much as if you were more familiar with the territory. And once you get familiar with the territory, you can do what Astrology is intended for: honest self-examination given certain parameters (Moon/Cancer/7th square Pluto/Virgo/10th) -- ie, how these psychological/philosophical archetypes (planets and zodiac signs) work in YOUR life, with your life experiences, your karma, your knowledge/feelings, your genetics.....
If you have specific questions hon, then ask them
