To all people posting or reading here who also speak German:

There is currently a CfV (Call for Votes) to establish
a *moderated* German speaking usenet newsgroup about
astrology, namely

de.etc.astrologie

to complement the existing (unmoderated) newsgroup
de.alt.astrologie.

Here is a link to the CfV, which includes the charter
and details how to vote by e-mail*:

http://groups.google.com/group/de.admin.news.groups/msg/505847d75ce9eeee

Voting ends December 12th, 2009. For more details around
the vote, see current discussions at de.admin.news.groups
and at de.alt.astrologie.

(I am not involved with the creation of the group, except
that I already voted and posted my opinion... ;)

* It appears that some people had problems to send their
votes to the e-mail address indicated in the CfV, so
a secondary address has been indicated here:
http://groups.google.com/group/de.admin.news.groups/msg/c78d1eb0b70f49b4
(I suspect that due to this, possibly a second CfV
might have to be made for formal reasons, and hence
maybe votes might even have to be resubmitted then.)

The unmoderated group, de.alt.astrologie, was proposed
December 6th, 1993 at 19:39 CET in Dortmund (Germany)
and established January 5th, 1994 at 18:14:54 UTC in
Tuebingen (Germany):

Looks like the moderated news group - if enough YES
votes come it - might be heading also towards also
something with the sun in Capricorn ?

The (first) CfV for de.etc.astrologie was posted
November 19th, 2009, at 9.34 AM CET. Note e.g. Mars
in the CfV on the AC of de.alt.astrologie in Leo...

PS: Maybe also related to Mars in Leo: Today I bought
C.G. Jung's "red book" or "new book" (liber novus),
which he wrote privately between about 1914 and 1930
and, after spending the previous 25 years or so in a
vault in a Swiss bank, has recently been published.
I am generally not that much a fan of the tone and
style in Jung's academic work, but I find this book
really fantastic so far - both Jung's original text
and illustrations and the text set in a modern (but
modest) format. So if you have the chance to take a
look at it in a library, I can only recommend to do
so. (It is most likely too expensive to buy unseen
at US$ 115 - even though the German edition I bought
cost me almost twice as much and I don't really
have a book shelf onto which a book with such a
large format would fit... :)

It's interesting that new, moderated, usenet astrology groups
seem to follow a pattern of hard Saturn Pluto transits.

Yes, I noticed, too. Maybe not something that would
be good for a long life of the group. While the transit
lasts, it might feel necessary and work, but once the
world has moved on, maybe most people would not much
want to still "go" to such a place with a hard aspect
and prefer a less "stressful" environment again...

Oh, I don't know. Believe me, a.a.mod is a whole lot less stressful than
a.a!
What is a.a.mod's birth data, anyway?

Oh, but good luck! I think it's a capital idea.

I'm afraid, the vote and the request to form the group have
been canceled/retracted:

http://groups.google.com/group/de.admin.news.groups/msg/d37c5757c39e4595

According to the announcement, the RfD has been retracted
for reasons that had nothing to do with the procedure itself,
and it states that the team of moderators would at the moment
not be available for moderating.

Best wishes in any case!

Hello there:
Meanwhile the > de.alt.astrologie < is about to be moderated, starting
January 2010. They still seem to be filing at ways how to do it, but it
really seems necessary. It is/was not quite as bad, not as mean as a.a.,
but it is overrun by people cross-posting, gossipping and posting much
OT-material.
Since one of the culprits was (at least temporarily) stopped, real theme
related conversation has come up.
It is like with everything else in life, also posters need proper guide
lines,
or "suffer" the consequences. -

So much on that one.
Take care and
be well,
IRH/Silveen
