I have spent the day writing to the soldier’s son about metaphysical topics. I have spent nearly 10 years posting to a blog about astrology and I know for a fact that reams of people have picked up the subject reading my blog… thousands of them. This tells me that I am someone who can make these topics accessible and I am wondering what to give this to in a chart.

Now in Barbara Hand Clow’s book, Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner & Outer Planets, she gives this ability to Virgo. She writes about Virgo being able to bring these topics down to earth and other than that I have never seen this addresses although I think it is a hell of a skill.

“So what do you think they see in me then?” I asked. “Since virtually every man I know is like this. An iconoclast.”

“I don’t know, Elsie. I don’t know what these men see in you but for me, I would say that you’re like a link to the world. You’re so visceral. It’s as if I can experience life through you. I have experiences with you I can’t have any other way. It’s as if I can feel life through you. You give me access to something I can’t get any other way and whenever I spend time with you, I know I am going to have some kind of thrill.”

“Oh. Okay, well that’s cool. I get that. A link, huh?”

I thought of Barbara Hand Clow’s book, on Chiron. She talks about a “rainbow bridge” that links… well, you can read it if you want. She states that Chiron rules Virgo and the 6th house and is the link between the inner and outer planets. Virgo grounds the ethereal, basically.

When I read that book some years ago, it resonated with me, but I’d never heard anyone express anything like it, since. Inside or outside of astrology, I mean. And I thought about mentioning the book to Scott, but figured it would be irrelevant to him. He doesn’t need to read a book that outlines exactly what he can already articulate, so I kept quiet.

So what about you? Does any of this resonate? What do you think of the idea of Virgo being the earthly link to the ethereal?

Eric writing to a mother asking about twins:

“…The charts of twins exist (in part) to teach astrologers not to be so cocky. They teach us (once again) that people are individuals and remind us how many ways there are to live out one’s astrology, even when the people have exceedingly similar charts, similar backgrounds, the exact same parents and similar genetics..”

And here’s a direct link to a slew of articles…”best of…”
