Page 8, Wednesday, August llth, 1971, WHITBY FREE PRESS WHAT ASTROLOGY MEANS TO ME by Astrologer Ed Cheetham There's an old saying in Czechos- lavkia, "When the devil is too busy to do a job himself, he sends a woman", which is the case with me at this time, since a lady from this paper has asked me to wri te something about astrology, which would be of interest to her women readers. She is asking me to pit my education which started in the last cen- tury against university graduates of the twentieth century. A few months ago, I read a state- mentby a well known doctor of astro- n o m y , who stated t h a t astrology is "bunk ". This was followed by a letter in a Toronto newspaper stating that astro- logy had no scientific basis, therefore no basis worth mentioning. The author of t h i s I e t ter signed himself "radio engineer", but apparently his teach- er's h ad n ' t mentioned another radio engineer by the name of Nelson, who w as in c h a rge of broadcasting from Radio City, New York. Mr. Nelson observednearlyforty years ago, that the positions of the planets had an ef- fect on broadcasts, so decided to ad- just them accordingly. Astrology Today For the benefit of the doctor of astronomy, astrology is to astronomy what physiology is to psychistry, anc as one Toronto astrologer stated, "one can learn more about a person from a horoscope in five minutes, than in an hour on the p s y chi1atrist'scouch: Another advantage is, an astrologer doesn't have to see the patient, as the relations of the planets to each other i n d i c a t e motivations and directions Astrology and Human Emotion For instance, the aspects between the sun and moon show the condition of the parents at the time the female conceived, and this controls the funct- ioningof the body and mind in relation to each other. Thus we get the need for the psychiatrist after the medical d o c t o r d ecides the troubl e with his patient is of psycho-somatic origin. The psychiatrist then digsback into the patient's past, seeking some traum- atic experience causing the trouble. In a horoscope, Venus afflicting the moon at birth indicates an indivi- dual who feels insecure because of a lackof affection in childhood. This is someti mes caused by jealousy of a sister or brother who was born when home conditions were happier. Actual ly, a horoscope is just as valuable for psychoanalysis purposes as that of predicting the future. The forecas ts one reads in the p a p e r a re based on the posi tions of the sun and moon each day, and Just how they're liable to affect the var- ous signs. One often wilI hear a per- son say, 'I am a Leo, he is Aries or L i bra , fire and air, therefore, we must be compatible'. Noth ing can be further from the truth at times. The Horoscope A horoscope is like a boarding housewith twelve rooms, and the sun indicates the person in charge. How- ever, while some of the rooms may be empty, in others there may be several pl anets in one room, and if they happen to be Mars and Uranus together, af- fected by Pluto, one can expect the entire home and neighbourhood to be disturbed quite often. With reference to this grouping of planets in the one room, we note five of the ten planets grouped in Sagittarius andwith Jupiter the planet of expansion one of them, we expect Christmas trade to be qui te brisk. This new moon of December 17th w i Il have these planets together and with Venus (happiness) on the cusp of the money house, people will be in a spending mood, regardless of bills to come later, as since Saturn, the pl anet of restriction is retrograde until after the New Year, we can expect caution will be thrown to the winds. Of course, everybody does not go overboard as many have fear and caut- ion built into their natures, and as we say, the horoscope indicates the tools one is given at birth and as Winston Churchill said, "Ilt's up to us to finish the job. " thesewill take.
