Hey everyone,

So everyone has different methods of finding answers in astrology. My questions are -

How many tools are too many tools?
What method do you use that isn't widely used? What experience convinced you to adopt this method?

I'm still in the bare bones stages of what I use in my personal readings. True to my Taurus Ascendant it takes a long time for me to adopt something new.

My current position is that once you start adding so many tools to astrology you can pretty much justify anything you want so I require a very strong experience to add something into my kit.

I'm halfway into accepting Chiron and the Janduz degree system upon further experiences. The degree systems are very hit or miss though.

I misread this thread initially and thought that you sepaking of an entirely differing kind of "tool".

I seem to be responding a lot to your posts.You mentioned that you have Moon in Cap. Is it between 13-19 Degrees? If so,well

But I hear you.I've pondered this too many times.I think the best experince is personal experience. And since it is a very subjective science,you can only dismiss a particular method if it fails to work for you.

I used to ignore transits.Not really knowing what they were all about.Add to that list "progressions, solar arcs and draconic charts" etc.

But easy does it really. Because I diligently watched Saturn transits on my natal T-square in 2011 and thought "Oh my goodness. This stuff is for real!!"

So no tool is one tool too many. Not if it can be tested thoroughly and it works.

And as far as using "unpopular" methods in concerned. I am still referencing the Chaldean system of rulership to understand some transits and behaviourial patterns. I know that that is not popular.

The experince that convinced me to include this system in my analysis is through deep pndering over things that didn't quite "fit" with odinary interpretations

Since then, I have come to view the art of astrology as a science that evolves and changes constantly. Nothing is "fixed".That is why I like it.

My Neptune conjunct Sun is happy about no boundaries in interpretations. It just must "feel" right. That's the only way. You must get to the "'feelin" place of an aspect, transit or planet position.

That hits the nail on the head (tool metaphor. )

I have to play, see, test, compare, study, watch. I can test more than one approach simultaneously, but tools get incorporated at irregular intervals, depending on when they click.

For me personally, I tend to use tools which are either accurate or reputable.

For example, for transits to my natal chart, I use astrology.com's your daily forecast. You can input your data and it will give you a summary or extended reading. I've felt it relates to how I feel, so I continue to use it!

Well we already know there are too many of those kind of tools :P

My Moon is very early in Cap, 0'04 with Saturn 0'03. My Neptune is at 8, with my MC at 25'58 so I think I missed whatever placement you have there :P

But! I think I read you're a Sag, my Venus is at Libra 16'54 so you would sextile(?) that placement.

Saturn made me a strong follower of transits as well. It's always so painfully clear which house Saturn is transiting.

You didn't miss the placements I have at all!!!

My Mars conjuncts your Venus in Libra by a 2 degree orb

My Sun conjuncts your Moon by less than a degree(My Sun is in Sag). Your Saturn sits on top of my Sun- so no wonder you come across very "authoritarian" in your posts

Additionally, your moon also conjunct my Neptune(less than 2 Degree orb). Your Venus in Libra forms part of my Moon/Mercury/Mars square; automatically squaring my Moon and Mercury.

You said that you are Taurus Asc? It probably also opposes my Pluto-judging by your MC in Cap position.

Astrology is a language. You need to really understand the basics and then you can combine them but you must know them with the heart as you would know a good friend imo

Your Sun is hanging out with my 8th house stellium of Moon, Saturn, and Uranus(Sag Uranus) with Cap Neptune kinda hanging out about 8 degrees away. That stellium is square my Aries Mars 1'27 :P But then again Aries and Sag should be a fine energy combination even if they are technically squared by the degree, right?

Squaring Moon and Merc, Moon and Merc Cancer?

I'm actually seeing a friend of mine who is Sag Sun Cancer Moon. It's an interesting combination that I still haven't been able to figure out!

Your Moon and Merc possibly trine my Sun in Scorpio at 20'43

My Taurus Asc is at 15 degrees.

I think we'd get along fairly well! The Saturn and Mars stuff could make me come off a little pushy but I have a lot of aspects that soften my edges up on the surface (Taurus Asc with 1st house Jupiter, Venus in the 6th), a combination I'm grateful for or else I'd be kinda off putting in my daily life..:P But geez, didn't know I came off authoritarian in my writing. I guess those aspects don't really soften me up when it comes to writing.

As a Sagittarius Sun with a Cancer Moon, what do you think that combination attributes to you? I wouldn't mind asking my friend when she visits next week to see what boils down as a common denominator!

Your Asc opposes my Saturn and Venus by a orb of 3 and 2 respectively.And it trines my Mercury in cap by 1 degree.

Well my Moon is in Cancer opposing Mercury in Cap. So the Moon would trine your Sun. My Venus/Saturn would conjunct your Sun too.

Sag Sun/Moon in Cancer is indeed quite an enigma. Even for me.I haven't quite grasped it.

But astrology-numerology.com did say that it is a romantic combination and that natives who are blessed with this combo are advised to learn steady concentration.

Miss Muffet did a Sun/Moon combo years ago. Its worth a bump.Even in the book that she quoted, it's quite a "hippy" combo. Unless there are serious Saturn/Mars aspects to contend with...

Sagittarius-Cancer Male:

Does he look like his mom, only taller? Did he worship her just a touch? Think maybe you can fill her shoes? Does he think that he was reincarnated from Robin Hood? Did he secretly believe in Santa Claus until he was twelve? There is a lot of wonderful child in this man. And he is looking, quite frankly, for a mother. Conversely, he is not the best father and husband material. To tell you the truth, he needs one. He is so idealistic that he sees almost everything with rose colored glasses. Lead him around, but don't attempt to remove his glasses. He can't live with the realities of the harsh, cruel world. The ugly truth about life hurts him. That is why he needs protection. Not that you could guess he needs such care the way he is so adept at surviving financially. This is especially true if he was born about 6 or 7 at night. This is very fortunate configuration for financial success. He will be a fair co-worker. He is also possessed with a strange set of religious beliefs. What's so strange? Well, for all his ethics, he will think having a half dozen girls on the hook is perfectly moral. And so as not to hurt anyone, he tells them all he loves them. And then when it is time to leave, a little story like his work for the CIA requires him to move to Iowa in the morning and sever all ties, or he has just developed bone cancer and won't be able to attend your graduation tonight, usually does the trick. For him. Because so help me, you'll believe him. Or maybe you give him enough rope that he just leaves without hideous lies. He doesn't allow himself to think he lied, he was feeling bad and he did meet someone who lived in Iowa once. If you want to forgive his, do me a favor and sleep with his best friend while he's "out of town". An Aquarius, a Sagittarius, a Gemini, or the motherly Cancer are possible victims.

His Illumination: Wonderful qualities
His Dark Side: Needs protection

Unfortunately I can't find the female equivalent of this description.

I am not sure whether you are male or female, but yours is....

Scorpio-Capricorn Male:

I don't care what his early environment was, how poor and pitiful, how lavish and secure, count on it getting better. He will surmount all odds and make it to the top of the heap. He has one passion, and that is to make lots of money, which he knows buys power. Power is the other commodity yhe most desires in life. Cold? You bet. Underneath the sexual passions burns a love of money. There also burns a white hot fire to be recorgnized as a government or public figure. Only when he has achieved his goals will he mellow out and work on relationships. Before that, he is a troublesome husband, father and co-worker. He may well be about 50 when his life change occurs. Oh, yes, another thing about his money. It's his. That means he won't lavish it on you. Cavalier in his youth about the use of money, he nearly worships it in old age. If you are into fondling bank deposits and see no value in diamonds and furs and other girls' best friends, he may be the one you want to spend your golden (I mean green) years with. You won't ever have to worry in his earlier years that he will have a lot of job changes, changes of heart, or residence. There is no floundering around trying to find himself. He knows what he wants early on and if you are part of his plan, he will be so ardent in his pursuit of you that it will make your head spin. You can be his co-partner (not stand passively by his side) and watch as he is promoted, and promoted. He will treat you as an inferior if you do not have a few advancements along the way. If your friends are tacky, well, you'd better set your sights on someone else. He doesn't want to spend his valuable time with lesser beings, unless it has been time specified for some good charity endeavor. Don't ask about his roots or early environment. He has put it all out of his mind. You'd better do the same. You may never meet his mother. Best bets: Capricorn, Cancer, or Libra.

His Illumination: Climbs to the top
His Dark Side: Can be miserly

And if female;

Scorpio-Capricorn Female

The position of this lady's sun to her moon indicates a basic harmony in self expression and being able to put her ideas across to others. She'd be a good communicator or teacher. She could also excel in public administration. Just don't ask her to get too personally involved. Her chilly little Capricorn Moon won't permit it. She's one of the most goal oriented women of the configurations. She has a plan, Stan, and if you are an inferior being her interest in you will be minimal. If she's caught in early poverty, she may use you to escape her humble beginnings. But if you don't have your feet solidly planted on the ground she won't be there to celebrate your twentieth anniversary. Whatever her beginnings they'll be lightyears away from her current dreams and aspirations. In her 20s she may appear frivolous, and may get caught up in some minor flirtations and extravagances. In her 30s she may begin to express her real needs more, and start working toward the stability of a fixed residence, career, and sound financial planning. The lovely little bathing suit and diamond ring that were so fascinating in her twenties, pale in comparison to the price of six semester units in her thirties. Her forties find her deeply committed to her life's goals, to acquire, to accomplish and to amass considerable security. This can also be loosely translated as the burning desire for money. You have to admire her consistency, her hard work, her dedication to her goals. This lady is one of the Zodiac's all time champions of survival. As a wife and mother, she's not the lighthearted, warm, and tender mother of which fairy tales are made. She's steadfast and will stick by her children through thick and thin. If you're the Capricorn man who can't keep away from her, or the Cancer or Scorpio that wants to know more about her, remember not to have your hopes set on running the house and controlling this woman. She's her own person, and the best you can hope for is that she'll allow you to share her life's plan. Sagittarius brings out her higher side.

Her Illumination: A survivor
Her Dark Side: Cold Moon

Oh my gosh! This connected a dot for me. One of my best buds from high school is a Sag. I always wondered why he and I got along and why he tended to date Water Suns and this Sag-Cancer description fit him perfectly. I put in his details and he turned out to be Sag Cancer Moon! From the mother stuff to the way he deals with the truth, perfect. Unfortunately his mother died when he was very young and he does carry it heavily. He does take after her looks. He prefers dating older women :P Right now his lady is somewhere between her mid 40s to early 50s but I don't wanna assume about his psychology :P

I think it is a combination that increases the chances of being a hippy. My other friend, the lady, is on the hippy spectrum. She is very chill, so chill you wouldn't think she's a Sag. But she is like a Sag always searching off for meaning. She even did the whole eat pray love travel and live in India thing. Naturally the male description doesn't fit her.

I'm gonna read more about Sag Cancer moons. I like you guys. I agree it's an interesting combination but hard to intuit for me.

I'm a male, and the Scorpio Cap description fit me and is a little pronounced because of my Cap MC. The whole power and money thing is sadly true, no way around it. I'm actually in the middle of trying to transition out of working in finance and join the Coast Guard. One day it just hit me that I didn't want to be excessively rich through a finance career. I still want power someday though so I save every dollar in case I ever want to pursue private endeavors. I would love to climb up to the top of the Coast Guard. I'm attracted to the military structure of a career due to its incremental steps to higher ranks. My North Node is in the 11th house and I felt the Coast Guard humanitarian missions are an incredibly worthy cause to help and expand. And when it comes to dating I really(possibly most, but definitely 2nd) value a woman that I can view as an equal, or better. Nothing sexier than an ambitious woman to me!

I feel like I read these descriptions before. Don't know where but they are so good. How well did you identify with yours?

Oh yes. I think the part about making stuff up to avoid hurting people's feelings is so true.

Do I need protection? Yes.I usually protect myself but have also come to find that people will protect me also-without me expecting it.

Especially Taurus/Virgo Moons.

Am i idealistic and find reality harsh? To a certain extent..yes. I would like for life to be more tranquil and inwardly peaceful for all people. I am not indifferent to suffering. I care a lot.

As far as the "hippy" thing goes, I try to conceal that a lot. But its also not easy- given the Sun-Neptune conjunct natally with an attitude of "take it easy".

I was once dumped by a Taurus Sun/Moon combo with Mars in cap for being "too chill".I think he wanted "more" .

But he came around for the sex and conversations:His Venus(Gemini)trines my Mars(Libra)and his Mars(Capricorn) sextiles my Venus(Scorpio).Even though I really cared for him, i wasn't too happy about this arrangement and had to put an end to that

This description,from universal-Tao-eproducts.com is so delicious. You should look for your combination to see what it says about you.

Sun in Sagittarius/Moon Cancer

The "Mastermind"

You are a quick learner because your emotional character is receptive and you are
very flexible.Anything that involves the
exotic and undiscovered as well as language
and society probably intrigues you. You are a very emotional person even though you
may have the aura of a scholar. You are controlled, tranquil, and good-hearted and
have great depth and perception. The daring
, hopeful, and freedom-loving Sagittarius
Sun in your combination is connected with the careful,astute, and inventive Cancer
Moon. Caution always holds influence over whim in you and unlike your other Sagittarians, you favor looking before you
leap.

Your manner is self-assured and you
always appear so capable and well versed that many think you are profound. You
make friends and judge others according to the way you feel about them because you
are extremely intuitive. You are usually
correct when you sense a person is not
trustworthy or dishonest.

However, there are moments, when your
feelings and your avant-garde imagination carry you away. Sometimes it is hard for you to distinguish fantasy from reality because you are a dreamer. You could have a smug or self-satisfied viewpoint as time goes by, as with all those who have their Moon in Cancer.
You may not carry out those lofty ideals or
employ your many endowments because you are too easily contented.You should be able to get past this complacency if your home life is a content one because from a sound base, you can achieve many fantastic things.

Joseph Conrad, the writer, is an example of the very insightful and artistic Sagittarius-Cancer.Your appeal and ability will gain you a lot of esteem and admiration. People feel your earnestness and are grateful for your kindness but you should be careful about too much self-contemplation.You can become very dazed by the things you come across about your own character and you are very sensitive.

You have substantial religious longings and are a spiritual individual. Great adventures can come from the vibrant Cancer imagination ,but it can also cause phobias and illusions.
Keeping it limited is something you need to
learn. If you let your emotions carry you
away your judgment and insight can be affected. You can adapt to nearly any
condition or surroundings with your great
confidence.Because you recognize that true
security is found only inside ourselves,
you can make your home almost anywhere.

I'm impressed! That describes the Sag sun/Cancer moon in my life to a tee...well, she's got an attitude (not that it always shows) toward all religion and though she gives social and historical reasons (that is, sounds intellectual & philosophical about it) I really do get the impression she feels betrayed by it somehow (I could be more specific on the "how" but I won't).

She and I would get on famously. Because I have an attitude towards religion too.

I feel like its been used as a tool for deception and twisted somewhat.This is also based on research/intellectual/philosophical analysis. Even personal experience.

So I am very cynical when it comes to it.

That's pretty much exactly what she'd say. She could lecture on it if she's in the mood. And she does make very good points.

Shouldn't conceal it! I think it's such a good trait. I'm surprised a heavy Taurus hated it.

When I was dating the Sag Cancer one of the best things was that she was so chill. It was very comfortable.

The only downside was we never did anything productive or at least had trouble getting the day started because of her willingness to mellow out and my Taurus Asc penchant for laying around at home. I was worse though :P She would be the first one to be like 'Ok, this is really nice but we gotta do stuff'

As for that Scorpio Cap description - I read here - here's the quick version -

You're a psychopath. Don't be manipulative with power and be like Indira Gandhi.

It was kinda mean :P It even said we have a bit of the devil in our nature. I mean come on!!

Edit: my high school sag cancer buddy is also someone that has similar religious views. We bonded over denouncing religion in high school. Now that I think about it both the Sag Cancers I know are also open to astrology

I just found the ultimate theme song for the Scorp/Cap men and women among us!

I understand if the Scorps/Caps among us say that this is exaggerated (hopefully they'll know to say "slightly exaggerated" rather than "completely false") since one can hardly pry the cash and credit cards from the cold, dead hands of their rivals while they're in prison.

That is such a cool song and now I'm interested in that anime.. the last anime I was ever interested in was Cowboy Bebop so it's a rare thing!

Oh gosh, people who don't square away with me on money bring out a special kind of grudge. I just never stop thinking about it. You'd think they smacked my mommy or something. Nope, they have owed me $5 for the past 2 years. I hate them.

I'm thinking of seeing the first season, but it sounds like the 2nd season loses its focus and turns compelling and even sympathetic characters in a dark and twisted way into something that tries to just be cute instead (though it still had interesting stories, most seem to think it was just harder to care). Here's a hilarious (IMO) review (also one of the shortest ones I found that explained anything) of it:

Others have said it was something of a ripoff of Cowboy Bebop, just set in the modern world (in some crazy and insanely criminal city in South East Asia somewhere) and that you'll quickly associate the characters of one with the other.

I haven't decided yet. Such a dark and violent anime has to be something I'm in the mood for, I can't casually watch it. I did enjoy what I saw of Cowboy Bebop, however.
