Greeting Swetha:

Rather than having to run from board to board, I would prefer to see a single general board for astrology. It would make it easier to follow.

That was the perfect introduction Ben
I agree to a lot of your views Ben. While studying I chart I myself give utmost importance to the houses as compared to the signs. I mostly use the signs to see the planteray strength and the despositor, which I find really interesting.

"The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower it moves thru the Signs"
This is very interesting as i have noticed that when the planets are 5 houses away from Sun they become retrograde(except for Mer). for e.g. the Saturn is in Cancer(maybe in Leo for some), and its gonna be there for a while. So, as the Sun changes signs and enters Scorpio that is 5 houses away from Sun in November, Sat will become retrograde.
Retrogression is a very scientific phenomeon which can be easily explained on the basis of relative velocities, but in case u see some chart and u find some planet(Mars, Jup, Sat) to be 5 houses away from Sun, you don't have to refer to other pages to confirm that it is retrograde.

you said it correct Ben, the trick lies in learning the science and converting it into an art.
Cheers to the "Art of Astrology"
