I got reading to see if I had selected the right career path in life.
Not only did I select the proper career path but I couldn't help but do
it. I have three planets in the third house including the income and
career planets. The third house is the house of communications.
Everything I've done career wise has been related to that. Not only
that my ascendant lends itself to that too. I've seen this pattern with
others. They often don't stray from the career path in the chart and
when they do disaster arises unless it is some temporary job.

Well if I said that the MPEG-4 codec uses long GOP frames and MPEG-2

certainly think you haven't done your homework. :-D

But even those recommendations called "Muhurtas" have some latitude to
them. It has been the centuries long experience that choosing the wrong
Muhurta can be disastrous. Note too that Indians often just use a
Panchang which has more to do with the Moon than other planets. My
introduction to astrology was watching what was auspicious in a Moon
calendar that a girlfriend gave me. It was remarkably insightful.

Like I said let's not turn FFL into another Yahoo astrology group.
There are plenty of those.
