Female, 1981. Give me the entire rundown with specific attention to: what do my future job prospects look like (a year and a half from now, applying for jobs), and what do I have to do for the specific aims I have to be successful? (I have two, one job-related and one personal.)

What would happen for the same questions if I were a guy? And I do have PMs, you can see whether someone does by looking at the bottom left of their posts--people who have PMs have a place where you can click that.

And I can't give you anything more specific about when I will be applying for jobs, because I'm not done with my PhD yet and I don't know when I'll be done. But when I'm about to write to important figures in my field I'll definitely PM you.

Can you answer questions (what early modern europeans called horary astrology) or is it just birth charts? For instance, can I ask "how bad does the Tibetan star system think England has hosed itself with Brexit?"

I should be more worried that you'll try and counter my strategies by divining our attributes according to western astrology. Thankfully we are not in the 18-19th century.

i don't actually know how to do Baroque/Renaissance astrology, which I really need to learn one of these days!

edit: 16th/17th. By the 18th century the Enlightenment had told all those guys to be embarrassed about that sort of thing and every now and then you read about officers trying to stamp out superstitions among their men.

(compared with Western astrology where virtually everything is positive and can be subjectively applied to anyone).

actual real-deal Western astrology definitely tells you negative things and specifics, but actual real-deal Western astrology is way more complicated than "what sign are you" and not that many people know it these days.

Similarly, adult Tibetans have very little interest in the kind of natal astrology Westerners are fond of - by the time you're an adult, you already know your personality, so that's not helpful or useful information.

Western natal astrology is good for a lot more things than your personality, it's supposed to influence your health, the way your body's systems are balanced, things that happen in your life, your interaction with life circumstances, etc. Not to mention that since you make decisions based on your personality and your natural tendencies for approaching stuff in your life, I'd say that's probably useful throughout your life, if you believe in that sort of thing of course.

Naturally there's a lot more application there as well, I was glossing in terms of what the clients tend to like these days. There are almost as few serious astrology clients as there are serious astrologers.

read my 17th century posts in the milhist thread, that poo poo is mental. i visited this palace three years ago--it's all built according to the principles of magical geometry
