Re: VMs: Jung and Modern/Traditional Astrology?

[Pamela Richards <spirlhelix@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, CW

I agree with you entirely in your continued
application of your analogy.  

Have you ever been involved in an area of study where
you found some of the historical sources which you
thought were pertinent were not accepted by colleagues
with whom you wanted to collaborate?

That's what we are working on.  It is all preliminary
to getting to the nuts and bolts of astrology.

I wish that I could assure you that treasured findings
such as a lexicon of familiar signs of the Zodiac were
likely to pop up in our study of the astrology of the
VMs, but I have a feeling that is not going to be the
case.  I think the VMs author may have anticipated our
ideas about cracking his code using common
astrological terms, and has probably foiled us again.

I would hate to think that I'm the only one who has
ever proposed this. . . but if we really do want to
know about the astrology of the VMs, I believe we are
in for a long, highly, _highly_ technical haul.  Hold
on to your hat. . . or get a good nap, whichever suits
you.  And perhaps it's a good thing most of you guys
like math, because at this point, I am starting to
think that lexicon of familiar Zodiac signs does not
exist.  

Warmly,

Pam
