First, I appreciate giving the suite a listen.
And there is an astrological interest here
Gustav Holst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"After this success, Holst was disappointed the following year by the lukewarm reception of his choral work The Cloud Messenger. He again went travelling, accepting an invitation from Balfour Gardiner to join him and the brothers Clifford and Arnold Bax in Spain. During this holiday Clifford Bax introduced Holst to astrology, an interest that later inspired his suite The Planets. Holst cast his friends' horoscopes for the rest of his life and referred to astrology as his "pet vice"."
Doesn't change my personal view of astrology, but that doesn't make me right (or wrong)
