| Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe. Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving. Saturday's child works hard for a living. But, the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe and good and gay. |
Wednesday's child; that's me! Figures. Where did they come up with that stuff anyway? What makes a Moon child fair
of face? And, for heaven's sake, whoever would dream up the idea that a child of Mars is full of grace? Mars is a
warrior with a "me first" attitude and not full of anything, but himself! I think the whole thing needs editing. Here
goes:

Saturday's child cannot help chafing. But, the child that is born on the Sabbath day, is merry and may or may not be gay. |
It was my understanding that Monday is Moon day; Tuesday is Mars Day; Wednesday is Mercury day, Thursday is
Jupiter day; Friday is Venus day, Saturday is Saturn day, and Sunday is Sun day.
I think that, being a Wednesday child, I'm an addicted editor. I rewrite everything; it's like taking one step forward
and two steps back. You can't count on anything I say because tomorrow, for sure, it'll be edited. They talk about
Obama and McCain doing flip flops in their campaign speeches; soooooooooooooooooooooo? Perfectly natural to
me; they're editing! Right? Right!

| July 7, 2008 What about planets on a cusp; which house are they in? |
| July 5, 2008 Remember the old poem: |
With so many different house systems, some Astrologers will advise you to read the descriptions of the House the
planet is in as well as the next House to see which fits you. I do that, but it's time consuming and confusing. For
many years I would consider the Sign of the planet and, if it were the same Sign of the next House and within
conjunction degrees, I would read it for that House. I still do that most of the time.
I use the Koch Table of Houses, but after Googling "nodes in the Houses," I came up with another idea; do the
birth chart in Equal House system and see where the planets fall. Read the description for THAT House.
Equal House is the most ancient way of erecting horoscopes.
Below are my birthcharts in Koch and Equal. Can you see my dilemma? I truly think my nodes are in the
6th/12th, but in Koch and Placidus they fall in the 5th/11th. Only by equal House system can that be resolved
to my satisfaction (so far).

to my satisfaction (so far).
As you can see in the Equal House system,
the nodes fall in the 6th/12th, Neptune falls in
the 9th, and Venus is in the 4th rather than 3rd.
The Sun opposition Mars still falls in the
5th/11th where I think they belong and Moon
opposite Saturn is not intercepted, but in the
same House as Koch and Placidus.
Last night I printed out my Kepler's Life Path
Report on both Koch and Equal House system.
It seemed to me that the Equal House reading
was much more accurate than the Koch. I
don't feel so confused anymore. I cut and
pasted the different Koch descriptions onto the
Equal House pages and could really compare
them.
If anyone is interested, I will send you both of
your Life Path reports and you can judge for
yourself. The only catch is that you have to let
me know what you think.
I think this is a good way to decide where the
planets or points belong if one is concerned
about planets on a house cusp or intercepted.

| july 7, 2008 Charting an Unknown Birth Time |
When charting a person with an unknown birth time, some astrologers use a solar chart; set the natal Sun on the
Ascendant and read the chart. Some do a Sunrise chart; setting the ascendant for Sunrise.
I always erect the chart for Noon of the birthday. That way the Moon can only be 7 degrees wrong at most. The Moon
travels each day from about 11 to 14 degrees. It makes sense to keep the Moon as close to accurate as possible. The
only way to do so, is to set the chart up for Noon which is the exact midpoint of the beginning of one day to the next.

I just love Henry's mandalas. I can't wait to open my e-mail every day
to see what he has drawn. He is such a marvelous teacher, mentor,
philosopher, psychologist, and man. He is a professor at Atlantic
University (my alma mater) in Virginia Beach, VA. He also hosts
wonderful retreats yearly and travels all over the country giving
lectures. You can read all about him here:

This particular mandala really hit me. It is so whimsical and mystical
that you can almost imagine it floating away in the sky like a shimmery
bubble. I call it the "fullmoonanytime" mandala and will use it during
some full moons.
