But so have been most human endeavors, physically and intellectually....
Thanks Votive!
But is this 'arrogance' a fragment of the 'divine-spark'
* that is an important ingredient of the complex soup (although sometimes more like dalia or porridge?) that 'being human' really is...?
Is seeking light, any light in the darkness of uncertainty not fuelled by self-preservation instinct?
*=since gods are not known for humility!
In my opinion, call it the 'divine spark' or call it trust or faith as Talia puts it, the belief in astrology in itself propels many of us to reach out to patterns weaved.
It transcends experential perception for the moment remains fluid mutating, changing with 'I' and all what is "Non I'' or 'thou', both impacting.
As an aside I was informed very recently that 'dalia' (being split ) is the best answer for the Nodes. A strange coincidence or more...but daliya is certainly more appropriate!

The beauty (consistency) that is noticeable is when we open our minds to the possibility (reality?) in The Creation being holographic!
All mantic divinatory crafts then make sense and can be seen as siblings or rather replicates (like twins, quintuplets, etc).
In Sanatan dharma it is stated as yat pinde tat brahmandey or loosely translated as As above, so below or as earlier scientists found out: Crystals are composed of molecules and those in turn were composed of atoms.
Blobs of frozen moisture forming the snowflake!
Of course porridge (daliya) or dog's breakfast -- the beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder (consumer?) :smt010
The ancient allegorical fable of nodes is, if we can distance ourselves from our conditionings, is one of extreme unfairness, is it not
Or simply deliberately and systematically-introduced errors and distortions ...?
So how does arrogance play a role in the birth and upbringing of the human (not divine!) pursuit and preoccupation of astrology? :smt004
