A reader asks:

“In the midst of it all, how relevant is our sun sign anyways?”

I know it is fashionable to do away with this or that… the basics of astrology, but I think the Sun sign is enormously important, provided you want to shine, create and be vitally alive, that is. But don’t take my word for it. Read Liz Greene’s freakishly good book, Apollo’s Chariot: The Meaning Of The Astrological Sun and you will never ask yourself this question again. I couldn’t believe this book.

It’s a total inspiration for artists or anyone who does creative work of any kind which by all rights should be each of us. It is so good and so potent I wondered throughout if an artistic person who knew no astrology at all might be able to access it and I think this is the case. It’s sort of like the “truth”. Everyone can recognize the truth because it resonates and this book has that quality.

And I never write in books or highlight them. Being a lifelong heavy user of the public library, I think this is sacrilegious. But I do bookmark bits I want to go back and read again and it did not take me long to notice I was bookmarking every page of this book. ::smirks:: Jeez, Elsa. Guess you’re going to read this one twice.

Bottom line, the Sun is your creative self. I can’t imagine discounting this. It seems more sensible to know everything you can about the Sun in your chart.

Anyone else?
