This is exactly what I have found so far to be THE most useful and fun application of astrology. Astro charts are fun to look at and I have collected a mass of interesting facts about astrology. What I like most is when I have an intuition about something, say, "the coming year will be about expansion". Then I looked on my chart to find "expansion" there somewhere. I didn't, and that was disappointing. The year actually WAS about expansion but at that time I couldn't find any astrological indicator. My point is it would have been fun to find a symbol to slap onto that experience. Or not. Symbols can also limit one's awareness and receptivity to the limits of the symbol's meaning, so other meanings or signals might be missed. Another place I like to use these symbols is to decorate my impression of a personality as I am getting to know someone. It's like dropping pebbles along a path so I can remember the insights I've had about that person. P.S. Aha! It's as I suspected-- Saturn is my planet of expansion, not Jupiter. I just looked back to that year of expansion to see if Saturn had anything to do with it. Sittin' right there in living color.
