High Mission. There have been a good many forks in the road to Percy Foreman's present state of eminence. The son of a small-town Texas sheriff, Percy was one of eight children. He went to work at the tender age of eight, tried everything from shining shoes to professional wrestling. During his years at the University of Texas Law School, he turned his natural talent for oratory into tuition fees by hitting the Chautauqua trail, lecturing widely on such subjects as "The High Mission of Women in the 20th Century" and "How to Get the Most...

The sage advice: "Don't get into any disagreements today, and group activity is preferable tonight." But somebody out there is gobbling up this kind of thing; astrology columns...
...characteristics of the planets strongly affect each other when they are in "conjunction" (only 10° or so apart). Their good characteristics strongly reinforce each other when they are "trine" (120° apart) and reinforce each other less strongly when they are "sextile" (60° apart). They represent an obstacle to overcome when they are "square" (90° apart) and possible disaster when two "malefic" planets are in "opposition" (180° apart, at opposite sides of the circle). Even these factors are just a few of the hundreds that can enter into an astrologer's interpretation of the chart...
