ZIP DOBYNS (Astrology) - Film Score Rundowns

So if you move in terms of space, then couldn't you in effect say, 'Well, I want to
accelerate my growth process my moving somewhere that highlights this challenge in my
nature instead of waiting for it in terms of progressions?'"]
It's very typical that people will move to a place which brings one of their major
challenge areas in their nature into high focus so that they're really forced to confront it
and deal with it. Yes. I find that happening more often than the other way around
(moving to a place where things get easier). But I feel that in itself is part of their basic
nature that they decide that they are ready to deal with a certain challenge in their life.
They will unconsciously and instinctively be led to the place or relationship where this
will happen.
Let me give you an example. This is a woman I did in New York City some
years ago, and she told me that she had been a business woman all her life. She was in
her middle thirties and she never wanted to marry. And she decided that she was now
ready to get married. She looked logically at the situation in NYC and said the odds
aren't very good here. Where can I go in the country where there would be more men
and more of a chance of meeting somebody and getting married? Actually she picked out
Seattle, Washington as a reasonably good bet, made her plans, and came to me NOT to
ask whether she should go there, but just to get her local chart done to see what it looked
like. So she made her decision already.
Well, the local house cusps in Seattle were incredible for showing that she would
probably meet somebody and get married there. She knew what she wanted, was clear
about it, and she unconsciously was led to pick the place that would permit her to get
what she wanted. I never heard back from her, but I am assuming from her chart that she
probably did go and get married. Whether or not she would be happy in the marriage-that's
another matter! You know, after being single that long, adjusting to marriage is not
all that easy. And it may or may not be all that she hoped for from it!
Another interesting one was a woman I did in Denver. She was ready to retire
and was thinking of moving to California, debating between Los Angeles and the San
Francisco/Oakland area. Well, the Los Angeles area is only 4 degrees different on the
Midheaven than San Francisco, but it happened to put her Neptune/Uranus opposition
exactly on the Ascendant-Descendant axis here in L.A., and 4 degrees off in the San
Francisco area. I said that's a pretty intense thing to put angular. I would feel that you'd
be able to handle the San Francisco area a little more easily. In L.A. it would bring your
natural sensitivity into awfully high focus. If you really wanted to develop psychic
ability, OK, that's the place to go do it. But it shows the potential for some kind of
emotional nervous strain and tension.
Then she told what was going on. It seems that she had cared for an elderly
mother for a major part of her life. She had quite a few brothers and sisters who lived in
the L.A. area, and finally one of them had taken the mother and decided that they couldn't
handle her and put her in a rest home. The whole family was now pressuring this woman
to come out and take care of the mother again. She said that the mother really does
belong in a rest home, that she was pretty incapacitated. She said: Yet I feel uneasy about
it. I feel maybe I'm guilty if I don't devote my retirement years to my mother's care. But
here are all of my brothers and sisters who have done hardly anything all these
