Thanks very much for these readings. I appreciate your insights and reflections on getting off the grid and using creativity and art as a path. I was also surprised to hear about Capricorn reducing things to minimal needs — I hadn’t heard that before.

That was a rich, rewarding experience, Eric, Amy, et al.
In particular, the explanation of intercepted houses provided a long aha moment.
I, too, am looking forward to the next class.

Thanks again for this booster rocket on the houses. I am relieved to know I can stop thinking about those house rulerships (Mars rules the first, etc.), which never made sense to me, and focus more on the rulers of the house cusps. So helpful. Also helpful was the advice to keep it real – look at mundane examples – not get so abstract, or always so psychological, as a way of learning more and of using the tools in a more practical way. It was very good to hear more about the distinction between the whole sign house system and the Placidus/Koch systems, and when each is helpful. And it will be fun to look at some extreme northern latitude charts in different house systems. That explanation and example was great. So was the reminder that the chart is a schematic diagram, not a literal map. Great analogy of Broadway and the NYC subway map. So many good images and ideas. Thank you!
Great way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Warm thanks for a spectral learning experience.
I really love and admire Eric’s ability to deliver deeply insightful explanations.

Eric,
As always, your reading is spot on and validates what I am experiencing in life at this time. The sheer acknowledgment that as a Libra I need balance, beauty and aesthetics in my life to make me tick on, balanced, in my day-to-day endeavors and consequently some very huge endeavors for the year was just what I needed to keep going.
I have been struggling for about four years now on the idea of safety and security within myself instead of in outside sources. This will be put to the test this year (as if it hasn’t already been tested!) and while I struggle to want some cohesive partnership, as most Libras do, it is elusive still. I wonder can I wait for a miracle?
The shifting of Jupiter into Libra was indeed an overnight event and suddenly I am able to face the future full-on.
I think to sum it up: the reminder that really what it gets down to is acting in integrity, and realizing that quality, respect and beauty equals wisdom to this Libra. And then perhaps we can change the world.
Soldiering on.
Thank you again, Eric. I think we are entering about 18 years of knowing each other. That’s a long time in today’s world. You’re a blessing. Thank you for your service!

Awesome, so uplifting and so ‘IT’ — a wonderful birthday message (plus the Cervantes quote).
Back in Jan/Feb when I was listening to the 2016 annual, you stated that we Librans would be well-advised to buckle down and really ‘do the work’ — the step-by-step, day-to-day actual practice of manifesting our goals and desires with ACTION — and that this would be the best possible way to prepare for the time when Jupiter entered our sign (Sept 9th). I took those words to heart, it became a mantra of sorts, and I can tell you that it was the best advice I received all year (so far).
The ‘opening’ of Jupiter in Libra, the easing of years of accumulated tension (since Saturn transited Libra in 2011/12, and earlier) is truly remarkable. Your Libra horoscope above talks about a decision, and I would say that it feels more like a manifestation of a decision made a long time ago — a decision to do the work regardless of outcome, regardless of how much the sacrifices and sheer SWEAT of it hurt; yeah. A decision of ‘faith’ made much earlier, now opening, blooming, rooting ever more deeper.
You used the word ‘fruition’ above, and that about sums it up. I believe I am not alone in this by any means; I am sure there are many others who have been in a ‘holding pattern’ totally against the Libran grain for YEARS but now….yes, the reward of putting one’s nose to the grindstone is returning, in forms of rather glorious abundance and relief.
Eric, thank you. Your service has reached farther and deeper than you know. Turn up the flame on the human blow-torch, baby. Yeah!!!!
