In reply to Astrology and Psychiatry. Theoretical Discussion., posted by JohnL on October 31, 1999, at 3:23:13
There has been a whole book written on this subject titles "Signs of Mental Illness: An Astrological and Psychiatric Breakthrough" by Dr. Mitchell E. Gibson. I just bought it the other day so have not had the time to read it yet. It is all the planetary forces that can have an effect on you, not just your sun sign. He basically discusses how from looking at charts of the depressed and the not depressed, that the depressed people have certain things in common, more conjuncts and squares of planets. It is too hard to explain it all here, and its really not the place to go into an astrological tutorial.
But for anyone who may be interested in further reading on the subject, it seems very interesting. I for one, believe in it, and do astrology as a hobby. How can we not believe that the position of planets have an effect on us the moment we a brought into this world? Being energy ourselves, and the universe being so full of magnetic feilds, and other energy forces, how can their pull not have an effect on *our* energy? Anyway, JMHO.
BTW- Aquarius sun, Scorpio moon, Gemini Rising.
