In my first 15 years I was taken care of by three different pairs of parents belonging to three different generations each. Even if I met my parents, and had good memories, I have to honestly say that my father and mother figures, the ones that have influenced me, the ones I have fought Independence war to, the ones that you go through when analysing yourself under the Saturn's return light, the ones I learn from how to see the world are to be found with no doubt in the couple formed by my eldest brother and his wife.

I checked our charts sinastrically, and there are important connections with exterior planets and the Moon's nodes that are quite easily found in parent-child relationships. Don't know how you feel about karmic wisdom, but maybe you could get your karmic astral chart done with that of your foster mother, and get someone to interpret for you the signs if you can't do it yourself. It is not just a nice and simple way out. Astrology can show you the power of the ties that connect you with your foster parents, and it won't be by chance that you happened to be the one for them and that made them your parents at that moment in time.

Maybe your biological parents had to live the experience of their separation from you as part of their soul growth process, but the point is that your soul wanted to have certain kind of experiences and these are the ones you are getting to move on and up. The rest , all of us, are just the instruments, like this note I am writing to you now with the hope of giving some light from my humble experience.

Best things in life escape all rationalism, sinchronicity seems to bring them to us when we are ready.

Why is so much emphasis put on moon sign transits in your daily horoscopes? I thought I was having an exceptionally moon-filled year or two but then I realized that it was more likely that you all use a lot more moon transits than any other type. I don't know much about astrology so perhaps I'm missing something here but I would assume that, say, sun transits, or any of the other planets for that matter, would appear just as often as the moon transits, yet the moon is the one that is there extensively over and over again in almost all my daily charts (I purchased a subscription and checked as far ahead as I could and some behind). Again, I don't exactly understand how all this works so perhaps I'm missing something basic, but from what I can tell this seems biased. I would have bought a subscription at lunar horoscopes.com if that's the type of horoscope I was interested in ...
Of course there's always a chance that I AM just having an incredible preponderance of moon activity in my life right now -- I don't know enough about astrology to deny it -- but I tend to doubt it based on the length of time involved. Anyway, please fill me in!

I don't know that L. Gardner is famous for being a 'historian'. What he is famous for is bad translation, misquoting, inventing sources, fanciful interpretation, claiming to be an expert in everything, and for confabulating stories that are intended to support his claims that he is of the Scottish royal line, due some insane genetic claims, ie. that humanity only became human when aliens came down and concocted the 'first man'(Adam) out of some genetic soup constituted of alien and neanderthal d.n.a.

That little tale is not original to L.G. but to Ephraim Levi, whose own interpretation of the Torah (including the Book of Genesis), and knowledge of ancient sources, is not worthy of all that much respect.

As far as your source for L.G's confabulations, Nexus magazine, well, Duncan Rhodes is not all that respected either, for reasons that we need not get into here.

My point is that you will not find any reliable information about anything whatsoever, other than on L.G.'s grossly-inflated ego, in L.G.'s books. So, I would not bother with tryiing to create charts on Jesus of Nazareth via any source in any way associated with L.G. or, for that matter, Nexus. L.G. by stating the 1st of March birthdate, is trying to tie Jesus in with 'the Ides of March', which links his claims to being royal back to Julius Caesar, etc...

I personally have a far greater claim than L.G. does to the various Scottish houses, as well as several supposedly Templar lodges, including the malevolent Knights of St John, who settled on the Greek island of Rhodes in about the late 12th century. I don't invoke it because no person of any credibility whatsoever would try to capitalise on royalist connections, as all forms of monarchy are completely immoral. The guy is a charlatan from beginning to end, and so are the persons associated with him.

According to the famous astrophysicist Dr. Percy Seymour, the most probable date of Jesus' birth is September 15, 7 B.C.

You have an ephemeris here for that year:

I saw in the FAQ we can get the point of substance by adding stx2=p=%2BS to the URL.

Can you tell me what is this point of substance, where can I find information about it, what it is and how to interpret it.

Is it the gravity center of all the planets?

I thank you a lot

Dear Maggy, not a single one of is in any way 'programmed' by anything, neither by biology, and nor by society, and certainly not by astronomical forces to the exclusion of all others. (unless we allow ourselves to suffer any attempt at indoctrination.)

We are biological creatures who interface continuously with the entirety of the environmnent from the moment of conception. (Ever heard of a sun tan?) No one knows enough about this to claim what you have claimed i.e. no one knows the precise mixture that constitutes self-hood, and no one is likely to ever know this on a universal scale, as each and every individual is born with an individual body, and an individual location in the space-time-matter-mind-continuum.

I have no idea why you entertain the thought that being told that we are each programmed to experience life in a certain way is any way helpful. Fatalism never helped anyone at all, because it obviates choice, and Robert Clay has choices, some more compelled than others.

If charts are saying that Robert Clay would have precisely the same experience of his biological parents as his foster parents, then burn the charts, and not Robert Clay's belief that knowing his biological parents is important. This is because knowing one's biological parents gives us the opportunity to note similar biological characteristics (on the external side of the equation), and similar biological tendencies (on the internal side of the equation).

This important information, critical to the self-development of the persons who deem this information important, is simply not to be had from foster parents. To be able to know one's biological parents from birth and throughout their life-time is currently a privacy issue that illegitmately denies children their right to know. If this were deemed a right of the child that was superior to a birth-parent's selfish desire for privacy, and the illegitimate right to ignore their biological responsibilities, no one like Robert Clay would have to suffer. The freedom to know our biological parentst enables us to see our parents mature past certain psychological and physiological tendencies, and change, as a consequence of choices they made, and experiences they had.

Until you are capable of providing informed advice on such important matters, you should at least have the integrity (intellectual and ethical) to say 'there is a theory that says...', but 'there is yet another theory that says...' and demonstrate the flaws inherent with each position.

Robert Clay, now you have two theories to consider, and not just one facile bit of nonsense. The best advice I can give is not to haunt yourself with the 'what might have been', and please remember that there exist unavailable parents, biological or otherwise, for reasons that do not necessarily mean that the birth-child was not, is not, and will not be loved. Just as the decision to terminate a pregnancy is frequently made out of love for the child, on the basis that either one or both biological parents, deems this the most loving and responsible action they can take, so it is also with the decision to foster out the child. Please do not feel that you were rejected by your birth-parents, and certainly do not feel that I-owe-my-F.P's one, and refuse any and all guilt-trips, including whatever ones you send yourself on.

Can't thank you enough.

I have been interested in astrology for many years. Believe it or not, the very first time I became interested in astrology and how it pertains to our personalities, etc., was when I heard Nora Hayden being interviewed by Alan Berg, a talk show host in the Denver area. At that time she was promoting her new book on astrology. I went out and bought her book. Since then I was hooked. I now have quite a library of books. The more I delved into the subject, the more I was fascinated. The information I have learned has been a very helpful tool that I use in relationships with other people And through reading up on my own sun sign and the other planets within my own chart, I have learned more about myself.

We never stop learning in this field, do we?
