Candy,
The darn thing is that my mind would rather be in this thread debating against my own position. I know that some people have a dependency problem on an astrologer, because they may like the fact of shifting responsibility for problems to some else. I do not belong to this class of people.
This is an area which I really regard as a mystery. I stopped trying to come up with mechanisms to explain how it could possibly work long ago. Why? Because, after really digging it the works of Rober Hand, Liz Greene and others, I really am surprised at the interpretations I have come up with in respect to family members and friends and find it a valuable tool in achieving better inter-personal relations.
A few examples: My mom is the classical latin mama. Horoscope with its strong emphasis on Cancer elements, clearly shows this. My grandfather was a real eccentric and dreamer, and the natal chart shows this clearly (Uranus in the first house, emphasis on Pisces, etc). My ex-boss at work lives only for work and is extremely ambitious (cluster of six planets in 10th house -career) and is very possession/money minded (pluto in 2nd house). A good friend of mine is also obssessively career-minded (pluto in 10th house) always self-critcal and doubtful as to what he has achieved (saturn in 10th house), jovial person (sun conjunct jupiter in 1st house), always squabbles with women (venus square moon), etc. etc. I could go on. I have noticed that the salient characteristic comes out clearly.
