Astrology can really give you insight into a person's humors.


Humors are a concept ripped from the Hindu (same as astrology) four goal's of life ie: moksha, etc. So it actually does.

I'd bet your chart shares a thing or two with good old Marx.

Too big for his britches.

Same with Pablo Escobar.

Hunted down and murdered...the mob that got him did pretty bad things to him after he hired all those mercenaries from Southern and Western Africa to come kill Libyans in that brief power struggle.

But a bunch of mercs can't match a bunch of pissed off people at home if the Soviet planes aren't flying over head....why Assad is barely hanging on.


That "power struggle" didn't exist until we made it exist. He was firmly in control, and the US was perfectly willing to tolerate him like they had for decades. Until he started seriously promoting a gold dinar for purchasing Libyan oil. Only then was he a "threat," and so we made him go away. Because if there's one thing the US can't have, it's competition with the USD for oil transactions.

Yes, these seem like the reasons.

Then stop pretending we took him out because he was some terrible bad guy.

Astrology is proper... but it gets trivialized in the west, just like Dogon cosmology did as well.

...but take it again and again over a broad spectrum of your own mood changes and watch how you struggle to make it say what you want it to say ;)



Don't necessarily agree. If rather have a higher potential for being an abstract and creative thinker (n vs s), but it just isn't me. I have my strengths and I have my shortcomings.

I don't know. I don't think him and I would have a lot in common. I had to do a presentation on him and our lives aren't even comparable. He wanted total social revolution. I just want a personal one. Also, his predictions are pretty wild as far as inevitable communism...because that assumes that history is a constant progression toward some teleological goal, which is that Hegelian influence, and history for communists becomes History with capital H and becomes the base of their own absurd reasoning that uses it as a foundation. I don't even believe in time as a sequential thing or that time itself exists outside of subjective human experience, so I definitely don't believe in something like fate, destiny, or History. It becomes their Big Other, or their god.

And of course you believe in the four humors. That shit is hilarious. You know Hindu ideology produces some of the worse human behaviors. Karma means that generally if somebodies life is fucked up, they deserve it....their charity is much different than here. That is why Mother Teresa was so important, because even the Dalit had worth and dignity to her.
