The Music of the Spheres

The Planets by Holst is described by Wikipedia thusly:
The Planets, Op. 32, is a seven-movement orchestral suite by the English composer Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1917. In the last movement the orchestra is joined by a wordless female chorus. Each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the Solar System and reflects its character according to astrology. 
I would say it's seven "songs" from an album I had in my teens. So it's music that is supposed to capture the character of each of seven planets in our solar system.

Historically, a drummer helped soldiers march in step and rowers row in sync. They used a fairly large drum with a deep tone.

Sound is vibration and you not only hear a deep tone like that, you feel it. This means it serves as troop coordination even over the din of war.

Deep tones can travel long distances and both whales and elephants use deep tones to communicate with others of their species very far away.

Because sound is vibration, it can do more than just communicate. 

My oldest son has serious health issues.  He slept with me as an infant because laying against me allowed my heart and lungs to physically "squeeze" his, making his heart and lungs step to their beat, reducing the energy he needed to provide, calming things down and slowing things down while he breathed deeper and more efficiently. 

It's not only easy to get in step with the beat of the drum, it's hard to resist it. 

You can record music as an audio tape of the sound. You can also record it as written musical notes and lyrics.

So Holst's The Planets can give you a feel for the type of energy of each planet. 

Astrology is about trying to understand the beat of the different planets and how we step to their beat here on Earth. The vibrations they give off are felt elsewhere in the solar system and having some idea of how each behaves in that regard can be useful information.

House of Style

I defy every color typing system I have ever run across. Rest assured if some particular typing system doesn't work for you, I am sympathetic. No color system works for me, but my astrological chart fits my colors. So, weirdly, I found astrology helpful for sorting out my wardrobe, of all things. I briefly had a separate site for talking about astrology and fashion. This post is step one in the process of folding that information into this site and shutting that one down. That site was a half baked idea for a long time and was finally being developed because I am fleshing out my ideas for a clothing line that's been a half baked idea for even longer. That site was originally envisioned as my latest attempt to try to figure out how to make money via my knowledge of astrology that never turned into a viable business idea, as noted here recently . You can use your Natal astrological chart to try to look your best by looking primarily at your Rising Sign and any factors ...

Happy Belated Birthday

The title is sarcastic. I was assaulted the day after my sixtieth birthday. Around 9:30 or 10 p.m. as it was getting dark, someone called out "Who's in the tent?" We didn't immediately reply in part because there was traffic noise, he was likely drunk as he smelled of beer and was slurring his words and my sons didn't immediately understand what he was saying, plus it's a strange thing for someone to ask. Usually, someone is asking if you are someone they already know and promptly leave when it turns out you aren't. Before the tent door was fully open, he hit me in the face with a heavy metal object that turned out to be a gun and justified the assault with "You didn't tell me your name." It was a brief scuffle, thirty seconds or a minute, and the first physical altercation of that sort of my life and I was hit repeatedly in the face and left quite bloody.  Early on, I picked up my phone because I've been in other confrontations that ende...

Japan -- A Funny Little Hypothesis

My understanding is that most Japanese do not believe in Western astrology and, yet, it's a common topic of discussion. They routinely tell people what their Sun sign is in casual conversation. I think most likely what is going on there is that they don't find it threatening because they don't take it seriously, so it's a good topic for making small talk, and it also solves a somewhat unique social challenge for them. In Japanese language and culture, my understanding is you address people using honorifics on a routine basis and there is a long list of honorifics to choose from. Which one is correct depends in part on which of you is older. All well, fine and good except that it's rude to ask someone their age or birth date. So how does one determine who is older and who is younger? Sometimes this is obvious. A child addressing a grown-up, for example. Anyone can tell at a glance who is older and who is younger. But what if you are all school children in t...
