Major Chart Patterns
Sooner or later, we are bound to wonder about the
system that we have taken a snapshot of—what it is our
inner or heliocentric chart might provide. As it turns out,
this inner chart does provide quite a lot: for starters, it
can provide an alternate view of the same moment—of
our birth—in time and space.
Two Views
I am reminded of the old story of the elephant—with a
group of blind people each feeling a different part of the
animal and describing their experience. From the
collection of descriptions we might get a pretty good
idea of what an elephant is, while if all we had was the
description given by whatever fellow had felt the trunk,
we would come up with quite a different picture. This is
why getting two perspectives on the same moment in
time, on the same planets and the same space in time,
is a real help.
