Hello Sybil,

What a keen observation about you and your friend. For you, with the conjunction in (fixed) Taurus, the groundwork comes first; your friend, with the conjunction in (mutable) Gemini, changes things first! What a clear example of element and modality..

The Saturn-Uranus article was the first article I read. I have them conjunct in Taurus (June 1941) and my friend has the Uranus-Saturn conjunction in Gemini. We both answer to Grounded Eccentric and Sane Weirdo. The difference we find is that I do my ground work and then make innovative changes, and she changes things and then sorts out the result!

Regarding Eris: yes I do think it ought to be included in charts from now on. I think it a bit premature, though, to interpret it as the ‘planet of chaos’. I have examined Eris in my own chart (it completes a grand trine with Pluto and Pallas Athena). I think it refers more to taking a holistic view of everything, thus realizing where one’s limits lie. In my own chart, Pluto seems to indicate my predilection for ‘deep’ study and teaching, Pallas Athena expresses this through the arts, and Eris provides an overview on how successful I am at this – thus providing useful feedback for Pluto. Food for thought?
My best wishes to Tara.

I just picked up the Dec/Jan 2008 edition of The Mountain Astrologer magazine from the mail. As usual, I thoroughly am delighted with the thought provoking articles that stretch my mind and my astrological knowledge.

I’m a Taurus Sun, so of course I’m an engaged reader! I totally agree that we Taurus folks are earth driven. Having the Earth as our planet seems a great fit.

I really appreciated the article on Saturn-Uranus. Those of my birth year of 1949 have it as part of a Finger of Fate or Yod. There is a sextile between Saturn and Uranus with quincunxes to Jupiter. This configuration has had a lifelong impact on my life journey. So a special thanks to Donna Cunningham for her insightful article.

Tara Sanders will be in my ongoing prayers. I have marvelled at her art work for quite some time. Many blessings to you all for the work you do!
