That is a fascinating analysis; thanks for writing it!

As someone with a background in political journalism who is now entering the field of astrology, using astrology to gain insight into politics and current events is one of my favorite things in the world these days.

I really liked how you broke down the planets with their essential and accidental dignities. I've just been learning those in recent months and it's always helpful to see them put into action.

Anyway, I'll go ahead and read the others, as well. Keep up the good work!

Thank-you very much for your kind review of my work. I haven't had much feedback yet so when someone comments it is very much appreciated. Sounds like you are studying Traditional Astrology. After years of taking the modern route and not really feeling like things were falling into place, I was thrilled when I found Traditional techniques and things started to make more sense to me, enough to give me the courage to start writing about them.

I can relate on all accounts! I often encourage others to give more time to offering feedback to those who create content because I know how much it can mean to hear from people. Anyway, I'm glad that you appreciated mine.

Second, I began my deep dive into astrology in 2019 and attended a few online schools based on the modern approach through last summer, but it wasn't landing completely, so I enrolled in Adam Elenbaas' "Ancient Astrology for the Modern Mystic" first-year course last November. As I'm continuing that, I'm also now starting year 2 with him.

I am really happy to have learned the philosophy behind astrology and how the ancients worked with it, though I'm still struggling to incorporate the techniques they used. Your article was a super interesting way to put those into practice, so tonight before bed, I'm going to read part 2, and I'll get to parts 3 and 4 over the next few days.

Anyway, glad you're around and doing your work and I'll do what I can to support it---already recommended you to my readers!
