ZIP DOBYNS (Astrology) - Film Score Rundowns

everyone else (8 th house) but with this progressed Moon in Capricorn you attracted this
pin-headed power figure that denied it, cut it off.”
[Participant: “I asked him two separate times in the past if he wanted to
participate in something I was doing, but he never responded. The feeling I get is that he
must have the idea in his head that he doesn’t like how I’m approaching my work. He
doesn’t want to hurt my feelings, so to speak, but he doesn’t want to directly confront
it.”]
Zip: “No, he’s not sensitive to your feelings! That’s not where it’s at. He’s an
intellectual snob who’s trying to keep possession of what his special privileged
prerogative acquired knowledge and position, and not let anyone else in. It’s like a
Private Boy’s Club that you’ve got to say ‘Please!’ in the right way to get admitted into.”
[Another participant: “Well, it’s not universal, like that Atlanta golf club that
didn’t want to admit women.”]
Zip: Oh, it’s very parochial, very narrow and rigid and limited. My definition of
being spiritual is “inclusive,” and the more inclusive, the more spiritual; the less
inclusive, the less spiritual. So all of these fanatic extremists that have their little dogma,
that it’s their private possession and final truth, and nobody else has the in—well, that
just totally turns me off.
“It’s quite common for people with an advanced degree that ‘I earned this degree
and status and I’m not going to let anybody else into my private club unless they do the
same thing as I did—do the same work and get the same degree’—and maybe they will
be permitted to knock on our doorstep!
I think it’s a pervasive tendency in human nature to be possessive and to want to
keep what we have and what we value, and not let ordinary people in. It’s a kind of poor
excuse for being human, but it’s very common.”
[Another participant: “That’s why Princess Diana was so popular. She was an
ordinary person trying to get into royalty and ended up dying.”]
[Another audience member: “Well, she was an Outsider trying to get into an
Insider’s club.”]
Zip: “Yeah. It’s natural to look for self-esteem. That’s a normal and natural
human instinct—to want to be proud of ourselves, to want to do something that reflects
credit on us and gets approval from the world. It goes astray when we have to build our
self-esteem by shutting someone else out, putting someone else down, not allowing him
or her to come into the circle. So think of it as their loss. It’s their problem. Basically it is
a form of insecurity that we have to keep someone else down or out in order to reassure
ourselves of our own superiority. What you are confronting with this person is one of the
less-nice sides of Virgo that says ‘I have the answers, the way it should be, and
everybody else is wrong, so I can shut them off.’ So he’s not worth it, not worth
bothering with.”
[Later discussion on political candidates]
Zip: “I’ve got Sharpton, John Kerry, Lieberman, Byden, Gephart—and none of
them have a chance! It’s a walk-away with Bush. Let me tell you what Bush has got. It’s
unreal. Like it’s so karmic. His personal name asteroids are George and there’s a
Georgia, and Bush was born with both of them at zero Leo. I just fairly recently thought
to see if his middle name had an asteroid, and “Walker” does. And his progressed Walker
is zero Aries. His progressed Moon at the election in November 2004 is going to be zero
