I have found my divination method! I was supposed to have one already by the time I got this far in my studies, and I know a lot about astrology. But I use that a lot more for psychology and meditation than for predictions and divinations.
I've used this other method for as long as I can remember, and I've been reluctant to give it any weight because it's so... silly. It seems frivolous, almost. What I do is, I think of a question, or reflect on a situation, and randomly generate some music. I used to just flip the radio on, but since technology has advanced, I've hit the 'next song' button on my mp3 player, making sure it's on shuffle. The song that comes up more often than not has some eerie significance.
I tried it on a chat board I frequent, and the feedback was mostly positive (a couple of big klunkers, of course). I don't know how serious to take all this, but I somehow feel better now that I have a divination method. Music has been a part of my life as long as I can remember, I studied it for years, and this feels good. It's even like having your own Tarot deck when you use your own mp3s- and there is a whole lot of variation in the music, at least in my mind. But you can still use someone else's deck and just flip on the radio.
Maybe I should write a book! Llewellweyllewelln will love it!

The fun is in interpreting it, which is something that every skillful diviner pours most of his energy into, I imagine. I mean, does Mars in your chart mean aggression, or anger, or bravery, or hot sex, or a young man, or what? The trick is in how you put it all together. And handling challenges like how to interpret Dave Matthews Band song 'Kit Kat Jam' which has no words.
Woah, pardon me while I ramble. Maybe I can get 15 pages out of it!
