Thank you, Pam, Keera...:)
Heh, seems I'll do anything to get out of the house painting job, including
trying a watercolot painting/caricature of my daughter. (Note it was
intended to be more cartoon than it is--guess it kinda looks like an

I like it. I noticed you said on the other froup that your daughter is
Sag Sun/Asc and Aries Moon? She does look it. She has a very Arian brow.
Mars rising or in 1st? Other astrologers say that (or Mars ruling)
imparts red hair so I'm trying to verify that.
I'm sorry, Keera, but the red hair is n erroneous product of the
compression routine, or ineptness on my part...it should be a light
brown/dirty blonde..:( The eye on the left is amateurish-ly too high but
their color is correct color. My mother's hair (and that of her four
leprechaun sisters) was the red color of this picture, that's why I let it

Whoo! That's a helluva chart! Saturn rising: She survived/s anything.
Nice sextiles. I'd guess she was the sort of mother who didn't mind
wading in the mud to find tadpoles with her son(s). Much more fun than
doing the dishes!

She echoes her grandmother's Eastern Hemisphere dominant chart, but
flings out her Moon rather than the Uranus, but UR is still emphasized.

Hrm. Rotate the drawing a little more clockwise, lining the Moons up.
Then the upper red house lines up with Mars, and the mountain (Saturn)
and Greek (making me think of Zeus -> Jupiter) structure (Saturn) line
up with JU/SA/PL. That would have Uranus explaining the palm trees. :-)
Had she seen her chart when she did this?
BTW, where are her Nodes?

When I tried to understand the red house not being a consistant-seeming
Mars pointer, I had to ask how it came to be where it is. Lori said she
rotoated the paper to draw it...this I assume resets the horoscopic
perspective. Thus, all expressive works now seem to me as though composed in
separate parts-each a kind of attempted whole within a whole inaccordance to
the temporary localized focus of the creators mind.

Sorry, I haven't paid them any attention. I have only sought the more

I find over the years that Pluto like Saturn resists projection in the

Fascinating. The beak lines up with his Mars and Mercury. Hehehe...
If, like Ed, we wish to see the integration of ".......art,
psychology, metaphysics, and pragmatism." we may pragmatically assume that
this rendering is indeed a personal totem. However, this symbolic object
has little personal significance without the context supplied by this
particular view of it, the generic associations of "Falcon" tell us very
little about one who would choose it as a surrogate Self, or alter ego.
Thus counselors routinely ask for specificity, "...what do you mean when you
say 'falcon' ?" Here it means that the flesh ripping beak points to natal
Mars; and, as you point out Keera, natal Mercury is successfully 'integrated
as a component of that part of the overall image. Perhaps the beak serves
equally well as a type of antenna both sensing and broadcasting certain
(11th House?) intentions.
Perhaps, out of sheer necessity, the psyche does indeed promote the
selection of images which attempt to communicate, like sign language, the
subtle blends of compound complex motivations and personal meanings.
Astrology and graphic arts are equally poor at this business of
communication from the perspective of the psyche. I see the individual natal
planets integrated here, as Ed insists his are (and everyone's are of
course).
For instance, Jupiter+Uranus is a flying thing that overflows the frame of
the view. The large white crescent tells us of how dominant the natal Moon
is. Neptune's fluffiness is central and pervasive like its focal t-square
position in the chart. Uranus finds itself expressed as the repetitive
stokes that are meant to indicate the presence of Neptune feathers, and in
the shape of the Moon's white crescent--this is the integration that Ed
feels. Unfortunately he seems not to understand that we all experience this
feeling of things coming together in our self 'metaphysically' and find it
quite a common, normal, human condition. The circular object with the dot
in the center is of course the Natal Sun, it is integrated via the psyche
clever selection of this totem object. Natal Saturn's opposition is
expressed in the blackness of the falcon's eye--black circle = Sun opp
Saturn. Venus is the native's intended avenue of Self expression, thus
Venus is everywhere and nowhere in particular in the image--Venus's quality
(astrological meaning) is distributed equally--immersed, blended completely,
with the other planet/aspect expressions. The object benefits from Venus
such that we find this image more acceptable than others produced by Ed...I
mean to say that we are more *receptive* to this Ed drawing simply due to
the successful integration of natal Venus. To bad this is such a rare
occurrence...:)

I find it interesting that the castle is separated from the rest of the
island, much like the Neptune in the chart is, being the only planet in
the Eastern hemisphere. (Labelled "My house". Neptune in the 10th,
ruling 2nd.)
No, the Mars isn't obvious but basically his stellium with Mars in the
middle is centered around the baseball field.
Moon and Saturn are at the football field.
I find myself musing about how his house is not actually on his personal
island at all, and then I notice the Aquarius rising. Of course he did
it his way. :-)

I kept it simple. :-) I just thought this man chooses to fight with
words; the beak pecks.
I also note that the only feature of interest in this drawing of the
bird, or rather: The only feature that looks alive/real, coincides with
Ed's MC and Venus. On the midpoint of the eye and beak, as it were, is
his Sun, above the bird's nostrils. The bird offers no "support" (part
of the picture) to the UR/JU, the PL or the MO. NE is almost lost
somewhere in the throat, which in it's own symbolic way does describe
Ed's communication skills.

I see the ones not integrated. Not in this picture. Which can lead to
further musings, like when Ed sees himself as strong, capable and free,
is that when he ignores his UR/JU-opp-MO or 1st house PL?

You see an integration where I saw none. Of course Ed is drawn to
something that resonnates in him, as we all would be, and chose this
particular falcon and pose to draw.

To me, the bird has a sad expression in its eyes. Not birdlike at all.
But we are speculating. :-)

What's more interesting is that both of you have Mars in Libra
(detriment) and Cancer (Fall) and both attempt in vain to spin my Mars
in Gemini--which trines Neptune (spirit) sextiles Pluto
(self-empowerment), sextiles and disposes of Venus (harmony, beauty,
love) ruler of my Sun and 10-- as something sinister and ego-maniacal.
A planet in the natal chart is said to be Peregrine (foreign,
wandering or alien) when it is NOT in aspect with any other planet.
This planet is then seen as requiring integration into the ego
structure or personality of its owner. The planet is typically
regarded Peregrine only if it is not in its dignity (ruler) or
exalted.
But if the planet IS exalted or in its dignity, this separated and
reflective high functioning planet that is separated by the lack of
aspects in the natal chart becomes the gift of insight or ability that
is FOREIGN and alien to the typical world of ego concerns. This planet
then becomes the vehicle by which its owner can act as a channel, a
funnel, and agent for the archetypal reference and its highest and
best use regardless of personality developmental tension and personal
life challenge.
The HYBRID. The identity now becomes the vehicle for the exalted and
dignified dis-associated expression that serves without affect.
Blindness to the oversoul can be extinguished.
"Destroyed is my badness; Annihilated is my evil.
Put away is the sin which was my own.
I wander on the path that I know,
In the direction of the Island of Justification.
I arrive in the land of the heavenly horizon;
I pass through the holy portal.
Oh Gods who come to meet me!
Stretch out your hands toward me!
I have become Heru, one among you.
I have restored the eye of the Horus,
Sun and son of Osiris
After it had been injured on the day of battle
By the two adversaries."

Bragging about your chart? Oh, brother. Well, so much for our "attempt".
You just did it yourself.
I've dealt with Mars in Geminis before. At their worst, they just have
diarrhea of the mouth and never the sense to check their information or
to listen. At their worst. Why do you insist on expressing your Mars so
poorly?
His Mars is incoherent.
I'm glad Crazy Edmo believes all that superstitious nonsense about
planets having something to do with his problems. That sort of thing
is an excellent vehicle for his foolish babbling. No one else would
have ever said that the moon migrated across the galaxy from an
unseen star and took up an orbit around Earth, and no one else
would have ever said Orion is a star.
Well, you have again avoided the topic of Horoscopic Expressionism--the
sharp beak, like your knight's lance, being pointed at natal Mars, but you
have at least correctly recognized that your totem object is a "Peregrine"
falcon....:)

I have no idea, Bob. It would be nice to have such details...:)
Here's a recent acquisition, and "island" drawing by a painter friend of
my wife's. He thinks he was born around 9am, but not at all certain. I set
this up for 9:15am (in Belgium) just to put the end of Pisces Asc.....this I
did because he says that his paintings focus on the all-important role of
myth and symbolism.

What do you think...do we have a sun symbol projected , and a point toward
natal Mars?

Yeah, that's pretty simple, and very telling of you too Keera, and

Perhaps because it has nothing to do with my chart and is the choice

No, that's most usually when I ignore idiots, and have learned to
think and create, and develop my own perspective of life, reality and
trust what I am.

I drew the Falcon because I used to train them as a youth, and later
discovered that this is what knights would do as a part of their
training, and thought it was rather interesting that I chose to do
that on my own--when no other kids in my neighborhood thought of such
things--they then followed me, and would try to do the same--most
failing miserably or losing patience--as it takes an ENORMOUS amount
of patience to train a wild falcon.

Yes, perhaps my choice of the photo goes with my choice of the

Falcons have a very alert and intelligent gaze, but trust me, emotion
is NOT a part of their lifestyle, they are cut and dried predators,
ripping flesh off their prey with a recognition of this as the way of
life, and accepting it as natural. They then continue with their day
like most of nature, content, happy, un-guilt-ridden and fully
trusting the integrity of lifes progress. I lived with my birds all
summer (along with my horse and dogs who went with me--3 German
shepards), carrying them across miles of woodland and becoming one
with them and our hunt. But when fall came and I released them, they
rarely looked back and went back to their natural state over a few
days without conflict.

And hopefully, you have learned a lesson in going overboard in
iterpreting someones photo that I duplicated with a pencil.
Once again we real psychology researchers have a good laugh. The
Falcon I drew was from a photograph out of a book on birds of prey--it
was simply a project to blow up a small photo to large size a picture
using the grid method, and the drawing is line for line a replica of
the photo--so once again we have these insightful astrologers and
psychologists having me all figured out by a photo, someone else took.
But we learn much of the interpreters in these excersises, now don't
we?

Thanks for again making my point: we unconsciously choose self symbols;
persons who do it well can actually express graphic symbols reminiscent of
their natal charts. Your drawing behavior is the only evidence that
confirms for me that you are touched , moved, (whatever) in the same way
other people are touched by life's unities. Though your claims to
astrological prowess are greatly exaggerated, I can see from the consistent
indicators I find in your *selections* of images that you are a human
individual with consistent personal preferences, your awareness of these
patterned preferences makes you feel like you are in touch, like an
astrologer, like a painter, like a musician, is in touch with life's
interconnectedness. Your drawings and your chart say no more than that.
Whatever astrology is seems not to cross the thresholds of our ordinary
range of human perception. Therefore I say we don't know what this
experience we call astrology is just yet; no one has ever mastered the art
of perceiving it in a useful (practical) manner, no one can draw the power
of prediction from it. We are only kidding ourselves to think we can
contemplate such things and declare some measure of mastery.

You create your own reality, Ed, by choosing what you will attend to, and
by ignoring one million other things at that same moment. The choice of the
available images is yours to make (existentialism in a spray can..:)...we
choose that which is symbolically like our mute soul's self perception--the
mind/matter mirror experience you are so fond of carrying on about.
Just for a minute, step away from the center stage my fellow egocentric
one, and have a look at this chart:
http://www.geocities.com/pedantus/yeats_wb.gif
(paste the url in the addy line manually, just to please geocities' control
freaks)
These opening lines of Yeats poem is almost a "signature" , the "self" of
his artistic endeavors, but we astrologers can see that a lot better than
most people.

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, [..]"
The Sun + Uranus is a spiral (a circle + the eccentric change) these
planets opposite Jupiter "widen" ...Yeats *unconsciously* projects this his
natal aspect-- Sun+Uranus opposite Jupiter. This makes the work
*expressive*... it is an instance of Horoscopic Expressionism. But seeing
it won't make you powerful...won't give you control...it only gives one a
passion-less depth of understanding and a lasting appreciation of others as
the miraculous all too human beings that they are. Its a way to sidestep
your chronic narcissism, for which there is no known cure.
So go ahead and pretend what you want, if you don't understand it at
first..keep trying (in secret of course) and I don't care how many claim
possession of my thought...I believe in stewardship, not ownership.

Once again we kooklogists have a good laugh at your delusions, freak.
You're not a "real psychology researcher". You never have been, and you
never will be.
You lack the training, the discipline, and most of all, the ethical
foundation for that type of work.
You said your field was to be a clinician, Edddddie.
Please decide which delusory profession you are going to have. Then pop
another vein in your forehead and rant for us like a good little kook.

He did post a number of lies about doing research. The truth that
inspired the lies was that psychology majors at SDSU are required
participate in a research project as *experimental subjects*.
Eddy spun this into his doing the research. Truth and Wollmann
are not companions.
Wollmann even cited the paper that came from this study.
That made it quite easy to confirm that Wollmann was never a
researcher.
Ha ha! See! I fooled all of you! It's *all* plagiarized! All of it!!
I've never had an original thought in my head!! Every criticism aimed at
me goes straight to the original author or artist! Ha ha ha ha!!!!
At least that's what he seems to be saying. Weird. An excalibur-like
blow to his very own head. And he's gloating about it. Fucking *weird*.
