  1. @Mel Hopkins Pattern recognition and the ability to think conceptually are my main tools. I hadn't thought about it before your comment, but it explains why I like numbers and Algebra more than History. Astrology is an abstraction. It places myths upon the heavens and the Stars. You literally are taking time, space and speed and converting them in two dimensions. So it is like you are taking the second derivative of reality. (Reality is 4 dimensions a piece of paper is 2 dimensions). So Astrology can be an objective way to see people (including oneself ), places, events and relationships from another perspective. It is also an amazing way to categorize. You have the following dynamics, which occur concurrenly: Masculine Feminine; Day Night; Cardinal (initiating) Fixed Mutable; Fire (active), Earth (practical), Air (theoretical) Water (emotional); 10 planets (expression of energy) 12signs how a planet is expressed, house where it is expressed. The most concise way to express astrology is to use the analogy of a play. Planets are the actors, sign is the role, house is the field or setting. even though I do predictive work for others in order to help them plan for the future. I no longer do predictive work for myself. What comes up for me is more how to react to upcoming or current dynamics. As an aside I beleive there are patterns and even markers of moment in time and space. Since a planets positions in space cane be converted into time. There are three signifies of time in Astrology Solar - Year, the Sun takes a year to move through the Zodiac, Lunar - Month the Moon takes a Moonth to move through the Zodiac, Terrestrial the signs take one day to make a complete revolution.
  2. Astrology is marginalised but it is a great tool for sharpening the mind.
  3. @Troy they are charts I drew using my first and last names. Interesting since I do have a Sun Moon opposition in my chart, Yes it is a valid interpretation. I have figured a way to create charts from words, and figure what card a name is in the Tarot. If you want I will do yours.
  4. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/search?_sort=rank&_sortDirection=asc&schoolName=Yale+University If you are ranked #4 in the nation there aren't a lot of Universities that are better than you there are three. If you are ranked 11 in the world again there are a lot of Universities that are worse than better. So I give first hand experiences, while you use a ranking and then you misinterpret the results.
  5. Black Americans are leaving America. I personally know two people who are considering it.
  6. If you create an astrological order for the Tarot you can workout what you name is in the Tarot. If you order the cards from 1 -78, you can work out the card that is associated with your name. Delano is 5 of pentacles. 0 - 9 Taurus Strachen is Ace of swords. Element of Air.
  7. I took it as a compliment. I have Destruction in my list of books to read, however I am putting it on hold while I work on a project.
  8. Perhaps someone else will answer the question
  9. Pioneer Harvard Princeton and Yale are the yardsticks that other universities are measured against. They are the equivalent of Oxford and Cambridge. Every university has a profile and a speciality. Like you said you weren't exposed or even made aware of the benefits of the university. BTW there is a difference between College and University. Yale University is consistently listed in the top 20 overall in the world. https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2020/world-ranking#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/scores_overall/sort_order/asc/cols/scores:4 https://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/choosing-university/worlds-top-100-universities @Pioneer1 perhaps you should ask a few educators. They may be able to help you understand why Princeton is consistently top 20 in the World.
  10. I was addressing your first point. What school in your mind gives a better education than Yale. I visited Yale and went to NYU for Grad School. I had class with a Harvard Undergrad, and had chats with a Grad Student from MIT, I had a few friends at Northeastern University. So what comparisons are you using to say there are a LOT of Universities better than Yale.
  11. I was invited to sit in in a class at Yale by the director of graduate admissions. You are mistaken.
  12. That is what universities do, they are granting pedigrees. So the minute, you say that you have an advanced degree from a top Uni you have pedigree. University is about the contacts, that is why you pay.
  13. The bet was he would be out by the end of 2018. You won.
  14. No you don't even need a partner. @Troy my apologies
  15. I guess it is the Bronx in me. Although I haven't look at them all. I am pretty sure there are rules in most areas of magic. The exception that comes to mind is Chaos Magick, however the rule there is that you make your own rules. Magic is similar to music after learning the rules you know how to bend them. However that takes some time unless you are a visionary.
  16. @Pioneer1 you can have time without needing to be wealthy. Paradoxically in order to be very wealthy yo won't have any time until you achieve you goal. No I was referrering to the descendants will have time, although they will generally be involved in various programs and activities that are less accessible to the general public. Those activities build both skills and contacts. One of my professor said you don't need to accumulate vast resources in order to have access to them. It just requires thinking strategically or creatively. There is money out there seeking ideas. It is about contacts and ingenuity.
  17. Not anymore than wealth bestows intelligence, athletic or creative ability. What wealth does give is access to the better resources and more time to develop your craft. No I don't think so, unless it also resulted in changes to character. There are different types and levels of power. The pawn has power, and can be elevated to the most powerful position in chess. Which relates back to fairy tales. The town outcast, proves his character and becomes King. Even if it isn't visible to most doesn't mean it doesn't exist.. Again chess is a good example pawn are out front and the power is in the back.
  18. That is the bit that is hard, also first degree you have to show premeditation.. So a conviction on either charge and jail time.
  19. My astrology teacher told me he would teach me more. I learned the basics from him in 1999 he made that offer in 2014. I asked him why did he wait until I left the country. He said I had to know who you were. You will find the wealthy around the esoteric and the arts.
  20. George Floyd knew Derek's then wife, now ex-wife.
  21. Thanks for the nod, you forget to mention that money you will be sending me when he is not reelected. @Troy
