Being 'pure',unrivalled,flawless etc is an archetype of distiction. One doesn't need Nazis for that,although it is the modern,widely symbol..
It's the nature of author I have in mind; they create an universe,it's pointless and offensive to search for it somewhere else.
I know there r many people that relish in discovering hidden meanings,finding allegories and messages,they need it,as if work has no value unless it carries certain moral and usefullness,but,ultimately it is only to detriment of art; no beauty,no connection, no catharsis!
The logics of in-universe is what is good to understand,follow.
If I have to look futher,it's the personality of JK I'll see; She is very humanitarian and rebellious; I see how sb with those qualities could create world we enjoyed in HP. Both good nd bad.
I have seen many 'thesis' on HP books; All I could see is that they r kind embarrassed for reading book for kids,so they find the way to make it... Presentable. Pathetic.IP: Logged |

Where´s the contradiction?Anyway, let`s bring this back to astrology:
I think the rebellious, humanitarian nature of the author can easily be seen in her strong Uranus:
conjunct Venus.
Actually Venus is on the Mercury/Uranus-mp; what a clear signature of an original independently thinking writer! I wonder how she deals with that opposition of Pluto (possibly Moon) to Saturn though. I supposed that unaspected Leo-Sun will be pretty strong as well. She definitely knows what she wants. EDIT:
No major aspects to the Sun, unless you count the square to Neptune with almost 10 degrees (which I do not).

Nazi references u mentioned,I am against reading into HP material.
Venus/Uranus conj.. Hm,I remembered when she said how she uses love to disguise plot  For example in 2nd book; that was my first association!
As for uunaspected Sun... Many people,parents,wrote to her with instructions how to develop story. 'They can't tell me what to write' but,the tone,posture when she said it... Oh,Leo  She also gave Harry her birthday...it is very tangible,for unaspected planet  I think she thoroughly enjoys mastering the creating process.
I pick up her Moon,it conj my Merc
I have seen loads of interp. For her stars; That rags to riches theme; I think that journalist created that; So that there is a point where we can indentify with her; She had lovely family and happy childhood,educated,self-made...IP: Logged |

Well, obviously she said it herself. *shrugs*It`s not important anyway; the Nazi-parallel would be just one example for an underlying principle, and that principle is what counts and what I think she wanted to get across. IP: Logged |

Hi
Apologies to Loveless I got a bit burntout on the astrology and had to have a break for a few days.
You are right about the symbolism and my ignorance was bliss, I didn't realise the angle you were coming from until later on but am grateful for all the input.
Am trying to post less so don't get so addicted to astrology. Hope you've all had a good weekend.
