That is because believing is seeing. You believe thus, hence you "see it".
Do you have any education in psychology and the workings of the unconscious? Or
do you believe you are different from the rest of society and don't have one?
So you believe yourself separate from the unbroken wholeness of the "ALL THAT
IS"? (the Uni-verse or Multi-verse whichever you prefer). It is this type of
belief that is SATURNIAN.

Are you saying that the fish in the ocean is "affected" by the ocean? Or is it
more true that the ocean and fish are a SYSTEM interacting with each other as
the SAME ONE THING?

Ah, ah! You cannot create others versions of what they see and experience in
their reality. This is YOUR version of what you BELIEVE and wish to believe is
true ABOUT their version.
This is a fallacious defective illogical argument as well:
"Hasty generalization" is a fallacy that affects inductive
generalizations....an inductive generalization is an argument that draws a
conclusion about all members of a group from evidence that pertains to a
selected example. The fallacy occurs when there is a reasonable likelihood that
the sample is not representative of the group. Such a likelihood is likely if
the sample is either too small or not randomly selected." Logic, Hurley, 4th
edition, 1991.

>planetary angles and planets.

I see, where is this evidence?
I see that it CORREALATES to my version of experiences I create in my life
synchronistically. But this is NOT evidence that externals are "affecting me".

In order to make causal statements with regard to correlations one must
have;
1) Cause must precede effect.
2) Cause and effect must co-vary.
3) All other possible explanations between cause and effect must be
ruled out.

You have no evidence for any of the above. If you do, please cite it.

Correlations do not imply explanation or proof of affect. A correlation is a
QUANTITATIVE
description of the strength and direction of the two variables. TWO. How many
are there in astrology?
Most astrological interpretations are QUALITATIVE.

>  Those are what the study of astrology
>enables us to access.

Astrology allows us to better understand how we create our reality by looking
into the MIRROR of astrological significators.
Does a mirror "cause" your hair to need combing?

You are not thinking clearly.

Woodenheaded thinking="assessing a situation in terms of preconceived fixed
notions while ignoring or rejecting any contrary signs" (Tuchman, 1984, p. 7).

>>Retrogrades reflect the concept of reassessment of concepts.
>JEFF SAYS: How can our perception of a planet's direction change that
>planet's astrological value ?

It has no value to begin with. The universe has no built-in meaning we GIVE it
meaning by what we believe or have been taught to believe is true.
Backtracking--we have over MILLIONS of years have GIVEN the IMPLIED value to
"mean" (significance is real or implied):
Reassess. Retrace, rehash, reintegrate....

> We respond to the astrological energy
>of the planet,

Ah, ah! Please present some evidence for this "astrological energy." This is
another fallacious defective assertion:
"Begging the question" occurs when an arguer uses some form of phraseology that
tends to conceal the questionably true character of a key premise. If the
reader or the listener is deceived into thinking that a key premise is true, he
or she will accept the argument as sound, when in fact, it may not be." Hurley
1991, 4th edition, Logic.

> not to our concept of that energy.

WRONG!!!!! We create our ENTIRE experiential reality by what WE BELIEVE AND
DEFINE IT TO BE or have been TAUGHT to believe it is. All assertions are
CONSTRUCTS to EXPLAIN our experiences of reality--INCLUDING science, they do
not = "THE TRUTH". The only ONE truth is that THE truth is the composition of
ALL TRUTHS.

"It is the theory that determines WHAT we can observe." Albert Einstein

We naturally reflect the unbroken wholeness of the ALL of which WITHIN THAT
WHOLE, we are one of the ways it has of expressing itself as ONE THING (Uranus)
not separate, limiting, affecting, "things" (Saturn illusion).

Constructs are SATURNIAN.

"I am able to prove," wrote the great German mathematician, Leibnitz
"that not only light, color, heat, and the like, but motion, shape, and
extension too are mere apparent qualities."
"The Universe and Dr. Einstein"

"Thus gradually philosophers and scientists arrived at the startling
conclusion that since every object is simply the sum of its qualities,
and since qualities exist only in the mind, the whole objective universe of
matter and energy, atoms and stars, does not exist except as a construction of
the consciousness, an edifice of conventional symbols shaped by the senses of
man."
"The Universe and Dr. Einstein"

"All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth, in a word all those
bodies which compose the mighty frame of the world, have not any substance
without the mind....So long as they are not actually percieved by me, or do not
exist in my mind, or that of any other created spirit, they must either have no
existance at all, or else subsist in the mind of some eternal spirit."  
Berkeley

"Just as there is no such thing as color without an eye to discern it, so an
instant or an hour or a day is nothing without an event to mark it." Lincoln
Barnett

"Common sense is actually nothing more than a deposit of predjudices laid down
in the mind prior to the age of 18. Every new idea one encounters in later
years must combat this accretion of "self-evident" concepts." Albert Einstein

"In mans brief tenancy on earth he egocentrically orders events in his
mind according to his own feelings of past, present and future. But
except on the reels of ones own consciousness, the universe, the
objective world of reality, does not "happen"-it simply exists."
Lincoln Barnett

"The physicist has no need of the flow of time or the now in the world of
physics. Indeed the theory of relativity rules out a universal present for all
observers. If there is any meaning at all to these concepts (and many
philosophers, such as McTaggart, deny that there is) then it would seem to
belong to psychology rather than physics."  Paul Davies on Time

"In short, the world is not a collection of separate but coupled THINGS; rather
it is a network of relations." David Bohm

"The common division of the world into subject and object, inner world
and outer world, body and soul is no longer adequate."  Werner Heisenberg

> so to we respond to the vibration set up by each of the
>planets,

"Setting up" is a Saturnian perspective. We ARE them, one level reflecting back
to another while experiencing the ILLUSION of time/space that ALLOWS the
apparent externalization of ourselves as "other" things.

You always have a choice in reality to choose anything. LIFE is a configuration
of choices.

http://www.astroconsulting.com/FAQs/essays_2.htm#how

The self reflective nature of the Multiverse is
evidenced by the ability to have recognitions that move beyond the self, that
allow for transcendence, that allow for the existential view.
If you live in a "Valley" the landscape of that valley is all you know,
and are not real clear on the appearance of that valley while you are in it.
Except from the perspective of being "in" the valley. When you climb to the
mountaintop you are now able to view the valley from a different perspective,
to get a bigger picture-an awareness of the "Landscape" of the valley. Before
you climbed this mountain there would have been a habitual way of perceiving
the valley which has now changed through the removal of the lens of the self
and its participation in the landscape of the valley.

If you have a habit, it is unconscious. If you have a recognition through
awareness of the habit-you know longer-by definition-have it. This ability for
a recognition outside of or beyond is in a sense proof that consciousness must
be of a non-physical nature to begin with, for the ability to view the pattern
from another point of view is to stand outside the paradigm that you are. The
infinite and non-physical requirements for this self reflective ability is
implicate and necessary for a Multiverse that CANNOT be "hard wired". For a
"hard wired" or close ended Multiverse would-by definition-not contain this
parameter for transcendent perspectives to be created. It is a loop or a
mirror-another view other than what you define yourself to be that IMPLIES
something beyond the reality you immediately inhabit. And the ability to move
beyond the valley and to the mountain is the effect of self-awareness,---
the goal of any metaphysical endeavor---.

In this way it can be real-ized that because of the physical illusion of time,
we actually exist everywhere at once-non physical and infinite co-creators with
"All That Is". We are the reality that physicality
deceives the conscious mind into believing it exists within.

It is therefore not WHETHER we fit within the infinite "path" but how.
The more conviction and trust we express in the creation of our reality-the
less time it takes to get to this mountaintop. Transcendence and transformation
is NOT the product of mediocrity, NOT the product of placing power outside the
self, NOT the product of acquiescence, and NOT the product of conscious mind
recognitions alone.

You CANNOT experience a reality and vibration that you do not believe to be
true for you-on all levels-with conviction. All experience serves to TELL you
the vibration you are at any given moment.

>  Oh, we do have a limited
>choice in the acting out after stimulation.  >When MARS transits our

Mars reflects the FREE WILL of the physical self that then CHOOSES to act on
the FREE WILL OF THE HIGHER SELF, that CHOSE the chart you now have (the
MOMENTUM of the idea you are--the PATH you are)--it is all choice, and you
ALWAYS have free will to change the path you are, even when you use 100% of it
to create the illusion you have 0.

>SUN we all automatically experience agitation and the beginnings of
>senseless anger or fear.  It is in the expression of our individual
>reactions to this internal turmoil that our will can be employed.  

I have faith in you; that you can transcend Saturn and move to the awakening
RECOGNITION OF CHOICE AND FREE WILL at Uranus (through the transition of
consciousness at Chiron from the "wounding by BUYING INTO physical effects") no
matter HOW crystallized and limiting (Saturn) you CHOOSE to INSIST (believe) it
is.

>>  Retrogradation of either inner or outer planets reflect the judgement and

>JEFF SAYS: Seems to me the words "judgement" and "repression" carry
>decidedly "negative" connoctations.  

Not necessarily, is rebooting the computer necessarily negative? While it is
down, the chip is repressed,-- upon restart, it makes a discernment to
re-integrate the folders and files, and when reassessed returns more integrated
and efficiently functioning than it was previously-- imbalances are
reworked--or not if it is not capable of using the "reboot" to do so.
This is reflected in MERCURY and the mind's (conscious mind) need to reassess
the life experience it has just created on the unconscious level--hence the
counterparts of the SUN/URANUS reflect this awakening and co-creation.

WRONG!!! This tells us ONLY of your versions and beliefs ABOUT reality and what
"reassessment" MUST mean (in your limited world), and HENCE although you deny
free will and our consistent use of it on all levels that astrology only
reflects like the MIRROR, you immediately and clearly demonstrate the truth and
accuracy of my assertions regarding this from square one by the insightless
response that demonstrates your CHOICE to be limited, and allows me to
demonstrate the truth of what I have asserted from the begining with
confidence.

Next defect.
