aplus.com/a/real-zodiac-signsAll my life I thought I was born on the cusp between Libra and Scorpio....?turns out I am Virgo! And thirteen sign??!! That sounds closer to sidereal astrology. When I read charts I go by western and my reading are accurate. In sidereal astrology they go by what constelation the sun is in in the sky. In western astrology they go by what constelation the sun is in from earth's perspective. Since we are on earth that's what I go by too. The sidereal dates shift every 70 years or so by a day or something like that. So yes you may have the sun sign of Ophicius in sidereal astrology ( or whatever kind it was from the link you shared ) . But in western astrology you may either be a Virgo or Libra. If you are completely on the last day of Virgo then it would depend on what time you were born and where to determine whether the sun was 29 degrees Virgo or 0 degrees Libra. The cool thing about any type astrology that goes by the planets is you don't only have a sun sign. You have a moon sign and a rising sign too, as well as a Mercury, Venus, Mars...etc The previous link did not work... I will try this one... www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~frosales/html/zodiac/The signs they describe are the constellations there earth appears to pass through as described 2!or 3 thousand years ago.... This is written by an astronomer, btw But I understand that astrologists would not want to let science get in their way. I find it ridiculous to think that all the people born at the same time share the same characteristics, fate, etc |

I remember having to take my dd back to the hospital a couple hours after I was discharged because they forgot to do the PKU heel prick. So they have been doing that forever.

I believe you are right about that! I wonder what mindset led to this? Not in the head but an underlying cause that is subconscious is what I believe. What led me to this mindset is I have explored the deeper side to nutrition. Now I need to explore the scientific side and see if and how they go together. I'm doing this for nutrition and astrology. I've explored the deeper side to astrology and now I'm exploring the scientific side with astronomy courses. Why am I curious about the more physical aspect than just the metaphysical? Well, astrologically speaking, Saturn is transiting my 12th house and squaring Neptune. In astrology the 12th house is the house that influences deeper meaning. It's the house Pisces rules. Saturn is the influence of surfaced meaning. The physical aspect, rational, facts...etc So, Saturn is bringing surfaced influence to my Pisces house. And collectively it is challenging Neptune. Neptune is the influence of deeper meaning. Planet Pisces basically. It will be interesting to see the similarities in these two fields. ( astrology and astronomy ) Wait, what? This discussion just went all kattywompus. SaveSave |

I find it ridiculous to think that all the people born at the same time share the same characteristics, fate, etc It's extremely rare to find someone with the same exact chart as another. Time twins, and there have been studies on them. It's not about science getting in the way. It's just consider there is more than one aspect and some could go beyond scientific proof that science cannot prove isn't possible. |

Wait, what? This discussion just went all kattywompus. SaveSaveNo, it's just gotten a little astrological...which could mean the same thing to some PKU is a known, documented, genetic abnormality that has been well-researched and treated for many years.
Unless some scientist somewhere can prove that my poor nutrition can morph my currently normal gene into a PKU carrier gene, it's not possible to "cause" my kid to get/have PKU. Not. Possible.
Nothing in the subconscious or Saturn or Pisces or however-many-houses has anything to do with it. Period.

SaveSaveIt has nothing to do with PKU. I was asked what mind set brought this up because I'm usually not into medical and science stuff. And then I recently started to explore more of it. Its still my belief that there are underlying causes that come in the form of medical issues. I usually just explore the possible deeper meanings. But I haven't been interested in that as much. I've been more involved in the 'surfaced stuff' like getting a job and going to college. And it reflects what my astrology chart shows currently. |
