Subject: RE: BS: Astrology, Coincidences, Karma & Katrina
Astrology, Azizi, is another of those things I would like to believe in. (And before anyone else charges me with it, I agree it is because I would love to find some definitive order in life, some great absorbing thing I can rely on.)

On the one hand I have seen a number of 'coincidental' events and other things that make me sit up and take notice, for instance, when I first met a co-worker's husband I remarked on how much he reminded me of my brother. He was taller but he had the same walk and he talked the same way, he twisted his face the same way when something funny was said. Imagine my surprise when it turned out that he and my brother had the same birthday!

And I have found over and over again that other Sagittarians and I seem to understand each other without flaw. (And I agree that when one knows someone else's birth sign, one might easily relax - thereby bringing about the ease that I note.)

On the other hand, I am leery of blanket statemsnts and beliefs. To me there is nothing scarier than fanaticism- something that I define as a "knowledge" that one is correct. Questions, to me, are far safer.

You say that this transit occurs "only about every 84 years". Question: What happened 84 years ago, in 1921? And 84 years before that - 1837?

Those are not dates that have gone down in history.
