Of course, you probably look up people's charts before "guessing." Carl struck me as very unique. IP: Logged |

Yes, I find that important, too. She fell in love with Narcissus, and only with Narcissus, and she would not yield to anyone else (in most versions of the myth at least). Even when he rejected her, she was still kind of around and when he fell in love with his mirrorimage, repeating the words he wanted to hear from his loved one, never realizing that it was her who spoke.

Also it robs you of the ability to engage in character assassination the way you want to. That would be a real pity, wouldn't it? Then you would have to confront people DIRECTLY when you have a problem with them, instead of instigating petty little arguments and trying to pass it off as astrological "study" or "teaching." It's quite annoying. Usually I think you are such a simpleton that your jabs at me don't even warrant a response, but with all these planets in Scorpio, your bullsh*t is just too much. IP: Logged |

there is also another version of Narcissus-myth, told by Pausanias."There is another story about Narcissus, less popular indeed than the other, but not without some support. It is said that Narcissus had a twin sister; they were exactly alike in appearance, their hair was the same, they wore similar clothes, and went hunting together. The story goes on that Narcissus fell in love with his sister, and when the girl died, would go to the spring, knowing that it was his reflection that he saw, but in spite of this knowledge finding some relief for his love in imagining that he saw, not his own reflection, but the likeness of his sister." http://www.theoi.com/Text/Pausanias9B.html IP: Logged |

So that's problematic for translating the myth into astrological significance, because one's Echo can be conjunct key planets and points in multiple synastries at once. My Echo is conjunct my brother's sun. It is conjunct my friend's ASC. And so on. Incidentally, I echo neither of them more or less than anyone else I know: they say some things I wholeheartedly agree with. They say some things I disagree with and I will tell them that just as readily. *shrug* IP: Logged |
