Astrology is an incredibly complex field of study, but don’t be discouraged if you feel a little overwhelmed. I’ve got lots of resources for you to get started:
First, read the introduction to astrology on my blog. This outlines the basic concepts.
Second, go to my website and start with the Introduction, which outlines the history of astrology and talks about how astrology is typically used.
Next, open the article entitled Meet the Planets! This article will explain the symbology of the planets, Sun and Moon.
Finally, explore the article on what the signs and houses are all about.
Soon I’ll be posting an audio class for beginners that will also be helpful. Ask questions here – everyone has something to contribute!

It’s Saturn-Neptune. There seems no doubt these experiences are real, but are they material reality (Saturn) or, as Jung would have it, projections of the Unconscious (Neptune), which can be experienced collectively?
As you said in your last blog, it’s also Jupiter-Uranus

Yes – also repression (Saturn) of the mystery (Neptune) as we have seen right here in the comment threads lately. Neptune can show mass illusion and delusion, but it also connects us with an experience that extends beyond physical reality, or at least the physical reality that we know of.
You’re in the UK Dharma, are people talking about this over there

Lynn thanks for noticing this story, this is a great video!
I haven’t heard anything about it personally in the news over here. But this kind of thing seldom makes news. I remember a few years back some CCTV footage of an alleged ghost made the main tv news on BBC.
It was of this very clear figure in a cloak (no not a sheet ) closing some doors. There had been no one in the building at the time. It was spooky, partly because it actually made the news! I haven’t seen that footage since, but it must be somewhere, maybe on You Tube or something.
I just did a uk search on the lanterns and it seems to be a standard alternative explanation for UFO’s now. I would have to see one for myself in the sky to decide if it looked like a UFO or not.
Fab story whatever the explanation. Definately Saturn/Neptune etc

Keep in mind, too, that UFO just stands for Unidentified Flying Object, which implies nothing about it being extraterrestrial in origin. Who knows that our governments are funding research dollars into in these days of fighting terrorism

We kid ourselves that we actually have a free press and any time something like this happens, it is suppressed or lightly covered, but then dropped. A few months ago I did some research on past sightings, not the lasted flurry of them, and very reputable people have said what they see– which cannot be explained, but the government and those in power do not want the populace scared or they already know what it is. Whatever the case, the public will be the last to know as we don’t really have a free media. It has been interesting to read about i

Phoenix had some recent sightings too. They were similiar to the one that occured in the 90′s. Same “explanation” that is was military balloons. Shades of Roswell I think

The interesting to me is how little coverage there is even on the internet. Like you say Rain, the press is really not free and I think also people don’t really know what to say about it so they just don’t. But now that everyone in the world has a camera phone, it will be interesting to see what happens
