Hi Eric:
I just want to say, I really enjoy your work, and make Planet Waves a part of
every day! I have had my chart done by a professional astrologer in the past.

Dear Kelly,
I get this question a lot, in different
forms. And, though it's taken me a while, I am coming around to Jonathan's
suggestions that when it comes to a Sun sign column, it's best to just read your
Sun sign (but I'm sure he would add, "Do what works for you," because
that's generally his outlook on life).
To me, this has less to do with
astrological theory than it does with divination. Divination is a way of asking
for information, and having it come to you in an intelligible form.
You may think, well, each sign only gets
100 words a day. So I better get all the information I can. But you might want
to consider it the other way: the fewer words there are, the more you want to
make sure you have the right 100 words.
So if you're a Cancer and you have a
daily appointment with whatever comes up in the write-up for Cancer, you know
where to look. This is particularly important if you are actually using a
horoscope column for guidance, and don't want potentially conflicting or
confusing information.
Now, as for your chart. Using the data
you give me, I get Cancer Sun and Moon, and Leo rising. There are a couple of
ways by which your astrologer may have got Neptune as the ruler of your chart,
but that would not, to me, suggest that you should be reading the Pisces
horoscope. With such strong emphasis on Cancer, I would really stick to that.
However, if you're studying astrology at
any depth beyond the horoscope column,
