ZIP DOBYNS (Astrology) - Film Score Rundowns

cars with teenagers, even though he had a PHD in psychology. He was just a very
insecure person and he went to a place where he was challenged to really face that feeling
of inadequacy. He committed suicide.
[Bill: "But let's say he moved to a different part of the country. Wouldn't the
probability be that he would carry his extreme insecurity there and commit suicide
anyway?"]
It's always possible, but it was through a relationship with somebody he met in
that area. He committed suicide because a girl wasn't interested in him. And he wouldn't
have met that particular girl, that particular challenge, anywhere else. So who knows. We
can't answer those final questions about ultimate destiny. I still feel that it's our character
that's destiny, and we go where our character will have opportunities for growth and for
challenge, and it's always up to us what we do with it. Many times I've seen people
unconsciously drawn to the place or relationship that's going to put that challenge in their
nature in high focus and force them to deal with it. And they may deal with it
successfully or they may not.
[Bill: "Yeah, I see it now. Even in terms of my own chart where I'll have Saturn
progressing on my local Ascendant eventually, plus the planets I had in my 9th are now
in the 10th. I do seem to feel a lot more productive in life."]
You learned to develop your achievement potential, your practicality here, which
may not be as easy for you as just being verbal and mental which the 9th house is quite
capable of doing. Basically the 9th house is saying, "God will take care of it! I don't have
to worry about it." And if we go to a place where we are dealing with Saturn, we get the
message, "Hey, God's going to do some of it, but not all of it! You've got to do your
share."
[Question: "I wonder. Isn't there the danger that people would consult you and
say, 'I want life to be easy and nice and comfortable--where I can I move to find that?
That was I won't have to face big challenges.'"]
Precisely. There are people who try to do that. And the way astrocartography is
often presented. It implies that. My experience with that has been that life in the end
doesn't let us run away. People find what looks like the perfect place, and it turns out to
be in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!
So this is till the same old astrology. All we are doing is adding new factors, but
the interpretation is not any different than anything else. If you're talking about Letter
One being emphasized in the locality, you're talking about the chance to become really
independent, self-reliant, have faith in your own power and right and ability to do
what you want to do. And if you're not using that ability constructively, then of course
you may be fighting the world or you may be taking it out on yourself and having health
problems, accidents, surgery, and all the rest of the negative forms of your own
aggression turned inward against yourself.
[Bill: "The following analogy just came to me: It's as though moving to a
different locality is equated in terms of space, whereas progressions are in terms of time.
