Astro-Psych 101? Hey, kewl deal! What program is that? Do they make em for 
Mac's? I don't have an astrology program at all NEmore, and gave up on the 
"Math Method" in disgust, after doing the 'important' charts, ie, mine, 
Raist's, and Hel's. Oyah, ran one on Raist's dad at one point too. It did 
give me a hugely added respect for Ye Astrologers Of Olde--mathematicians 
all! Blows my mind! Spoze it was a very good learning experience/exercise in 
self-discipline for a mathphobe like moi to sit there and *calculate*. 
Wouldn't mind getting another computer program tho. Lost my last one when I 
upgraded the system software--incompatible--and never bothered to look for 
another. Just looking at where the planets are in the ephemeris and 
calculating for GST/wherever the person was born can <it seems to me> give a 
fairly--sometimes surprisingly!--accurate general pic as well.
  
Question: if planets are 'sub-minds,' what are the elements? What are the 
houses? Just 'situational verbs' or something? I've never heard of this 
'sentence diagramming' method, & it's caught my fancy, so if you'd like to 
expound further, I'm all eyes!  :>

Sounds like a keen way to look at it. I guess I think of em similarly, just 
w/o the 'parts of speech' thang--but I diggit, & wanna hear more!

I thought the signs were adverbs? Maybe sometimes verbs, ie, Moon in Aries =

If you develop this further, please do share; I'm intrigued.  :>
