Corrections, mea culpa

Corrections, mea culpa.

The fact checking department ate her breakfast, a can of Fancy Feast, and then she took a nap under the bed, thereby avoiding the controversy. It was from a time when I dated a Virgo, years ago, that I had it stuck in my mind that SRV was a Virgo. Apparently, it’s not true. Bad memory on my part.

The error brings up a valid point, though, there was a time when I read other scopes, trying to satisfy my own curiosity. I kept finding wildly inaccurate statements about the planets’ positions, signs and so forth. In one scope, the location of Mars kept being reported as being in such and such a sign, when, in fact, no matter if I used Vedic, Heliocentric, or Sidereal, the planet wasn’t even close.

So it looked like the whole scope was just made up. Happened a couple of times since then, and each time I encounter astrological fallacies, I double up on my effort to insure that my astrological lore is 100% correct. [I use the traditional, Tropical Western method for assigning signs and locations because it’s most common>.

However, that doesn’t make my life any easier, especially considering I pass the SRV statue a couple of times a week. I don’t mean drive past, I mean, I’m on the trail that goes directly by the statue.

I’m just glad the second or third e-mail was so helpful, with that list of Virgo Blues folks. If I **am** going to confuse my musicians, at least I got BB King and SRV mixed up. I don’t think either one would be too upset with that error.

Don’t blame me, the fact checking department is still enjoying her morning nap, under the bed.
