ZIP DOBYNS (Astrology) - Film Score Rundowns

now? You see, first we deal with the character you were born with which, as I said, I
think you created in a series of past lives.”
Bill: “No, I guess not. Now, I believe in reincarnation [actually more like
simultaneous existences in the Spacious Now] but in a sense it’s far removed from me.
It’s like saying they’re other people anyway (my past lives). To me it’s not practical
enough for me to really feel into it.”
Zip: “Even as we look back on our childhood we can see how we’ve changed and
grown.”
Bill: “And I hardly remember my childhood. I have what you could say a “lousy”
memory, but not in those terms because it’s really just too far removed.”
Zip: “Well, you had a freedom/closeness [or freedom/dependency] dilemma right
from the start, right from your early home situation: this urge to break loose and break
out—a sense of not wanting to be tied. [So true. I started working at age 10 helping my
brother on his paper route, and then got my own at age 12. Eventually I actually paid
“rent” to my parents so as to feel I was being independent! And I immediately moved
from the parents’ house right after I graduated high school]
Bill: “An interesting development also is that six years [Halloween Eve 1972] I
moved from New York where I was born and raised. And to me it was the most exciting
thing I’ve ever done.”
Zip: “Yeah. Well, it’s very interesting the place where you picked to come
because I did your local house cusps too here in the Los Angeles area. And it puts
progressed Saturn almost on your Ascendant. It’ll be there in time if you stay here long
enough—a few years longer.[progressed Saturn within 1 degree orb lasted from May
1983 thru May 2000, exact on May 26, 1992—so a 17 year aspect demanding realism
and hard work in the life] That’s the potential of being enormously successful if you’re
handling it properly. Saturn represents hard work. It represents all the puritan virtues of
being conscientious and responsible and practical and productive—“
Bill: (mocks a sigh) “Gee, I thought this was going to be fun!”
Zip: “But if we work with it effectively, we build very solid foundations and we
move into really outstanding success. So it’s not something for nothing, but is a potential
for outstanding accomplishment if you’re working productively.
Right now you have Mars going over your Ascendant, and that’s been there pretty
close to two years I’d say.[February 13, 1975 thru September 1, 1978, exact November
26, 1976. During this period I had my vasectomy] And this is usually a period where
there’s a super-independence, a super-freedom emphasis—a person who really gets a
sense of his own strength or initiative or courage. Doing new and different things. The
only thing is that this aspect is not so good for stable relationships. The tendency is to
have a lot of a sense of “I don’t want to be tied down. I don’t want to be limited.”
