How to Draw Astrological Symbols or Glyphs

Still.The computer has dumbed everyone down in a lot of ways. I know people who can barely write legibly and haven't read a book to it's end since they were in elementary school.Everyone can do a chart now if they have a program. That part's cool and time saving but It's not personal anymore as the robots are doing the interpretation.You know as well as I do all the nuances there are in every chart. I still find it amusing that you would have to teach adult astrologers how to draw basic shapes.

LOL! Squeaky marker, hee!

I'm not entirely sure I would trust an astrologer that can't hand draw glyphs.

For chrise sakes they are the most basic etchings, more simple than cave drawings. Has technology crippled us so much that we can't even draw the most primary symbols? I sense rapid de-evolution.

Well, yes and no. I think that priorities change during different periods of astrological practice. The most recent shift was that people no longer need to know how to do the math to calculate a chart by hand. Some of the older astrologers would say that they wouldn't trust anyone who didn't know how to do that. If you go even further back to around the 5th century BCE there was the split between observational astronomy and astrology with the introduction of ephemerides.
