2 - I think there is definitely something to that philosophy, but maturity is relative in my opinion. Someone can have a mature Jupiter, but an immature Venus. I believe the whole chart and how the person uses it are the true indicators of maturity.

3 - I'm not sure about this, because gender is such a fluid psychological and even physiological concept. I'm male and my Mars is strong, but that has a lot to do with it being the ruler of my ASC. I have heard that the Moon should be considered as the originating planet in a woman's chart and the Sun should be considered for men. I think it may be more of a matter of people's individual astrological styles and what works best for them.

2. I think that the initial vibration is indeed chronologically increased, but then it's up to the individual to evolve. I still don't know how to blend the energies into a whole.

Ok I have 3 'curiosities', and was just interested to see what opinions others had.
1 - What do you think about Chinese astrology, I don't know much about it apart from there is 1 sign for every 12 months, which makes our way of looking at someones sun, moon, venus, mars etc, not to mention all the planets, very complicated, yet, quite accurate.
2 - Linda used to talk about the order of the signs related to their 'maturity', eg, Aries is the b'baby' whereas Pisces, the 'wise old soul'. I have a Piscean daughter, with an Aries moon and an Aries rising, what do you look at when considering a whole person in terms of their astological 'maturity'? Do you look at just their sun, where would my daughter fit in? I also have a male friend, an Aries, with an Aries venus, but Mars in Pisces.
3 - I once read somewhere that it's more realistic to look at a mans Mars sign as an indication of his overall nature, rather than his sun. Is this correct?
Any insights to any of the above would be appreciated, I am learning! :-)

1. Chinese Astrology is fascinating, it's not as intricate as Western or Sidereal Astrology but I have seen how it plays out in my life. For example a Libra Dragon expresses them self a bit differently then a Libra Goat. The stars may change but one thing is for sure the Earth goes around the Sun yearly.

2. I honestly don't fully agree with Linda on that assessment, even though I agree with her on most interpretations. I see the Zodiac wheel as twelve lessons not steps. The wheel isn't a ladder it's a circle meaning every piece has a place in the great scheme of the Universe. Aries is just as important as Pisces. What differentiates the two is their lessons. The Zodiac signs are all equally evolved, however in this lifetime with Sign placements we face different lessons. The wheel is not so much about evolution (which is the soul's territory and can't be measured by placements) and more about experiences and learning. I have many oppositions in my chart, to all my natal planets. And I'm a Libra Sun, Aries Moon. I've been learning about balance in this lifetime, and possibly many before. I learn my lessons through experiences which in turn allows my soul to evolve.
