Although I am generally a non-believer in astrology, the allure of a possibly free reading is intriguing. To avoid data-mining of my birth date and place of birth, I will be PM'ing my data to Tal.
My recommendations to all of you who put all that stuff in this thread:
edit it out. I'm not paranoid, just cautious.

Well, I think the stomach walls might be meaning the bag of bagpipes. Just a guess. It seems like there aren't many instruments one plays by pushing on them with one's own stomach walls.djm wrote:If anyone figures out "stomach walls" and "regarding boundaries to do with possessions and, possibly, unwise generosity" please let me know.

I guess you might be liable to give all your stuff away. Like you might hear a televangelist and decide to give away all your possessions and join him in his crusade. Read the "Little Pebble" thread by Wombat, you don't want to follow people who see apparitions. If you feel tempted, put on a leisure suit and eat some fish.

pretty cliched but still funny.

Anyway the astrologer is not so concerned if your head is in Uranus. The astolger is more concerned where Uranus is.

- Tell us something.: I restore 19th century flutes, specializing in Rudall & Rose, and early American flutes. I occasionally make new flutes. Been at it for about 15 years.

Well I'd send your money back except that I didn't ask for payment and so I have nothing to send back!Jon C. wrote: Still waiting for my chart, it has been 3 years!

Your rahu is in Scorpio.
In your last life you were an austere anchorite type. For instance you may have been a Tibetan Buddhist lama with the motto, " if there is a choice between two paths, pick the harder one". You had mastered this sort of approach to life and bring it into this one as one of your strengths.
But, alas, you must surrender that as your fallback strength. In this life you need to develop your capacity to go with the flow, ride easy. The flight of the eagle to dizzying heights takes energy and effort. You are already up there Jon. You don't need to struggle so much to move about now. Simply glide.
Continue to be self disciplined in your musical practice. Of course! But don't let that become a black hole for stagnation. Extend your self discipline to be discilpline about embracing change.
And try to let go of musical performance that does not obtain high energy and give you a sense of aliveness, no matter how technically proficient you and others deem you to be with that music.
Take some risks and enjoy things without having to control them.
For instance, if you are playing an ITM reel. You don't own the tradition, you are not its custodian. If you play it well you become a part of it. So just let go a bit, loosen up, take some risks in your variations. Allow the tradition to give you a unique pleasure and to be energised by it.

The life as a austere monk makes sense, as I have lived in a ashram for 21 years now, a little less austere then before...
The risk taking has been the flute making, so that has worked out well.
I still won't do any tonging, as I don't want to get away from tradition, os I guess you nailed that also.
I am gliding just fine now, thanks.
It would be interesting to here about some others also. What makes the flute player tick?
Thanks mush,
Jon
