mccoy;
I never have come up with a conclusive view of the constellations and their specific affects on the backdrop of the planets, Sun and Moon. I know that I would be considered a Gemini if we were to take into account procession. I have difficulty with that assessment since there are many factors that point to Cancer fitting me better. The most important is being a caregiver gor years-a real Cancer characteristic. What about you? Does Cancer fit u better?
Maybe leo fits better as a Whole. I also agree with you in that the sun sign by itself is too generic, the whole 'orrery' must be considered. I know many leos (apparently that's one of the most common signs here) but they are all pretty different with each other and I am different from them.
I have no clue about Vedic astrology. The best would be of course to have a good teacher with intuitive power. Maybe in India there may be some although not at the level of Sri Yukteswar, and surely there are some even in America. Maybe I'm going to study both astrologies when I'll have more time.
Nomaste Mccoy; i believe that with the energy of the two of us and maybe some others here we can learn much from Vedic astrology and perhaps have a better understanding of astrology through all of your astronomy contributions and our interest in finding the truth or at least getting a clearer view of astrology. As you know Sri Yukteswar spoke in the language of his culture and peers so I do not know his personal views of western astrology.
