Great achievement and great love always require great risk.

Thanks for input, will have to choose a couple, and will add interfrastically [blackadder iii!]

Have found another one in orbit: "There is no myth as big as the one that lets people feel they can do nothing and the day people decide they are not going to allow themselves to be chained, there is no chain left that can hold them in bondage. The recognition itself is the liberation." Gandhi, I love that one!

You give your date, time and place of birth and the astrologer works out (or gets a computer to work out) where the sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, pluto and neptune were the moment you were born.

The theory is that the planets make a kind of dance through time weaving a cosmic web. When a soul hits a body (!) at the moment of birth, that web is what makes up their basic personality and gives them patterns to work with.

Make sense?
