====== star-groupings ====== Now, can we think that the star-grouping over any particular birth can be the cause of what stands already announced in the facts about the parents? Either the previous STAR-GROUPINGS were the determinants of the child’s future career or, if they were not, then neither is the immediate grouping. And notice further that physical likeness to the parents - the Astrologers hold - is of purely domestic origin: this implies that ugliness and beauty are so caused and not by astral movements. Ennead III,1,5 Again, there must at one and the same time be a widespread coming to birth - men, and the most varied forms of animal life at the same moment - and these should all be under the one destiny since the one pattern rules at the moment; how explain that identical STAR-GROUPINGS give here the human form, there the animal?
