It’s all about astrology, and basketball.
Teach me astrology:
I can’t.
See, it all depends.
I was thinking about this, since I’ve been bugged for an astrology primer, only, it’s not that easy. There are plenty of cookbooks that deal with everything from the sheer mechanical point of “this planet is in this sign and that means this,” to some pretty arcane stuff that deals only with the tiniest fraction of a specific point, major work about minor points.
I’ve started just such a primer, or cook book, as they’re called in the trade, a number of times. But therein is the problem. Let’s take two Gemini charts. Both are charts I rather familiar with. So one is an “Aries Gemini.” Not a drop of any Aries in the chart, but, by house, the chart has a First House (Aries House) Sun. Plus a couple of other points. Even though it’s a Gemini’s chart, I tend to treat it as an Aries chart, perfect fit.
So house placement is really what important, no?
With that chart, yes. But…
Another Gemini, same vintage, actually, has a Leo Moon. Treat like a Leo, and all is well. I pop out the usual Leo pandering and that chart lights up. So Moon sign is important. In that chart? Yes.
So is it house, or moon? All depends. And so far, I haven’t found a computer that can weigh individual charts like that.
Trigger points? Key elements? Houses? Lions, tigers and bare?
Go Spurs Go:
There’s a picture, I fear I will never quite capture, but I’ve seen it often enough, around San Antonio, a Texas Flag, and underneath it, on the same pole, flapping merrily in the wind, the black flag with white capitals, and the legend, “GO SPURS GO.”
Turns out a buddy of mine is a huge basketball fan. He waxed eloquent, over some enchiladas and a taco plate, while describing how basketball was the perfect combination, like ballet, jazz, and athletic ability, all combined. His musical referent of improvisational jazz was poignant. Well-timed, too.
Now, I read Cuban’s blog from time to time, more concerned with media matters rather than athletics. About the Mavericks, I could care less. But I’ve found some of his points to be right on the mark. Or even his definitions, although, I wonder what drives him.
I could tie in a Shakespeare reference, but I’m not, because I was just covering material about the act of creation, the spark when the pen hits the paper. But I’m not. However, a little side note? The term “maverick” is originally from San Antonio, not a Dallas native term at all.
