Thank you - that is fascinating...and it's good to know that we are of the same 'West' family - how nice!
I really want to get that book you suggest - I'll seek it out.
Yeah, the 'swimming upstream' analogy can be said of what astrology does, too...it's much easier to go with the energies than battle against them, resist them etc. And, the same, a real live astrologer is endlessly better than a computer printout, too!
