Lorenzo, I have found that astrology is more of an artistic outlet for our human capacity for intuition than a discipline for the training of one's reasoning ability. It appears that you may personally prefer to collect historical data which supports a reasoned argument of one kind or another, and find some degree comfort in the support of authoritative seeming documents, historical facts, or perhaps even the magically authoritative effect of languages themselves, both living and dead...:) The intellect and the intuition appear to need one another in the manner of symbiotes, and the intellect seems the lesser symbiont. The intuition seems to be in touch with the intellect's *unknowables*, and the intellect works very hard to word the wordless, image-less, *thoughts* of the rationale-free, (time and space warping), intuition. Astrology may have some illusive "fact" for Dennis to focus upon; but, for me, astrology's reason for existence lies in its apparently singular ability to suggest some kind of wording for our intuition-born perceptions--our uncanny sensations of "knowing" that which is just outside our intellect's rational grasp or vision. Some times I imagine the intellect itself is like a clever ape competing with other apes in a reaching, leaping, grasping, race through the canopy of the intuition's rain forest.

Astrology gives us a symbol like Saturn for our use in understanding enigmatic (and no doubt dubious) observations. For example, Saturn gives me a wording or a "reason" for the existence of your email signature's progressive shrinking...its relative change from, "feliciter, Lorenzo Smerillo"...to, "feliciter" ...to, "LS"...:) My intuition seems to agree with the astrology's assumption that Saturn is as much involved with authority as it with restrictions of some sort. This because the ape of the human intellect seems destined to express both drives when trying to access, or some tries to employ either of these two qualities or experiences of the human ego.
