I'm from VA (not too far from Leesburg, which is right outside of DC) and half Asian. I've never been really discriminated against because of my race, although people tend to fetishize biracial people.

amowls,

I didn't mean to make this an issue, and honestly don't much care for the issue of racism. I rarely ever bring it up myself.

Racism occurs in the highest forms in Chinatown, Koreatown and Japantown in every major city I've been to. Asians look down on Caucasians everywhere and have perjorative names for everyone.

Racism works in all directions, whether North, South, East or West. The birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan was in Connecticut and Massachusetts, not in the South. Enough said.

I'm a Southern at heart through marriage, so I don't find it within myself to disparrage the South because that would be disrespecting my wife and her family. Having said that, I can't stand pee wee brained cops.

I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

Life is too short to worry about such gibberish. I was just posting in humor, so please let it just be humorous and nothing more than that.

BTW, I just got pulled over tonight on the premise of counter-terrorism scrutiny. One day, my wife is going to get me death by cop gun!

So the angles lining up perfectly is a sham.

Yeah, I know my birth time because my parents remember it with in a window of a few minuets. I wouldn’t completely rule out Uranus and Pluto being in your 7th… Uranus in the 7th doesn’t always mean that a person has multiple partners with wild crazy love affairs all over the place… sometimes it just refers to a marriage that is unique and a unusual, such as an interracial marriage (as in your case), and the importance of friendship and respect in a relationship… and Pluto can simply be intense loyalty, and not always obsession and power games etc.

Using myself as an example of this… I have Jupiter in the 7th house… Jupiter in the 7th house is reputed to be an indication of someone who is a player and who is easily bored and has many partners… as Jupiter represents the spirit of adventure and exploration… However, Jupiter is also related to our sense of morality and justice… so in a sense Jupiter can indicate a party animal type explorer, or more of a learned philosophical type depending on what we choose to do with our energy…

As is happens I am very conservative in the area of love and relationships, and quite opinionated and idealistic about such things… I only want to marry once and never divorce, I’m saving myself for the one special guy who can be a life partner to me, and I have zero interest in ‘exploring’ many different men, and am certainly not open to having flings. So yeah, a planet in the 7th house does not always manifest itself in the stereotypical way…

"Lotis White,

I'm sorry I didn't see your post. My time was adjusted later, as per advise by Ami, to ensure that Uranus and Pluto are in House 6 instead of House 7. Honestly, the Uranus in House 7, and the characteristics of other houses, just did not fit me at all.

Either way, I am totally enamored by the help and responses I have received, especially from yourself, and this endears me a lot to you ladies.

I'm new to astrology and know next to nothing. Therefore, I'm approaching all this with an open mind and no pre-conceived notions.

Since I had requested Ami to perform the reading, then I feel it is incumbent on me to allow her the leeway she needs to get her job done the way she knows how.

I am absolutely open to all readings by everyone though. Amd you have already helped me tremendously.

I didn't post any of this to "show boat" and certainly it wasn't my intention to point out that the synastry is anything amazing.

So the angles lining up perfectly is a sham.

It's fine synastry but not what you'd call amazing. When you post that as a title people will expect a lot.

Dear prettywords,

As mentioned above, I posted only on advisement and had no intentions of calling the synastry "amazing." I don't even know how to read that chart and I don't understand the simplest implications of any of those lines or planets. I don't even know what you refer to as a "tob." I just find it humorous and entertaining.

Like I mentioned, even if 100 ladies were to tell me that the synastry is terrible, I would just shrug my shoulders. The proof is in the pudding. My marriage is two decades old, in a country where 40% of marriage go into the dumps within the first few years, and ultimately more marriages terminate than end naturally in death.

You said u don't know a lot about astrology, so you can't understand how irresponsible it is for an astrologer to Change a tob with a valid birth certificate. It's a big deal.
The astrologer should see uranus and Pluto in the 7th doesn't always mean short lived relationships. Like lotus said, it can mean other things that described your relationship very well.

It was implied and many before me took it the same way.

I'm not attacking Ian at all. I was just letting him know that his chart may not be wrong just bc it doesn't fit cookbook interpretations. I can see adjusting a tob if its an even hour, but his is to the minute. And it was adjusted an entire hour! You can't just change a tob wo serious rectification to confirm it.

This debate is not worth it. I was born in a South East-Asian country which was nothing more than a little fishing village at that time, despite having been a British colony.

In any event, there are far more important things to fret about in life than the time of my birth.
