Aries Man - Just Like a Child

Aries man is just like a child, who does not fear anything or anybody. The ruling planet of Mars provides an Aries individual with the endless supply of strength, vigor, vivacity and endurance. It instills in him the quality of coming straight to the point, rather than dilly-dallying. The planet is identified with traits like standing up for what is wrong and fighting for what is right. The native is always one of the pioneers and the initiators. Aries man is always determined to move ahead in right, irrespective of how much and how potent are the obstacles in the way. The ruling planet of Mars makes him completely sure of his abilities and instills in him guts, a sense of adventure as well as a strength of purpose. He may, at times, act without giving much thought to the consequences of the actions taken. That's why Aries is also knows as initiator and warrior.

The planet also imparts mental strength, liveliness and the resolve touched. Such individuals move ahead in life without fear which makes them blind to the dangers ahead, which may catch them unawares and throw them off balance. However, the drive to move ahead and achieve the goal is so strong that such a setback manages to stop them only temporarily. Then, they again move ahead with the same fierce determination.

Aries man is an activist par excellence of the Zodiac. It is an energetic sign of Zodiac. The natives born under Aries sign also show a preference for sports, adventure and travel. They are quite honest and dependable and show an aptitude for mechanical skills. On the negative front, Mars may instill in them impatience, brutality, arrogance, impulsiveness, jealousy and a propensity to indulge in futile and wasted battle. The planet does not instill a foresight in the individuals and for that they have to take outside help.

The Arian is a pioneer both in thought and action, very open to new ideas and a lover of freedom. They will be full of boundless energy, vitality and always need something to do. In fact, the more active they are, the better they feel. The Aries need for action is almost an addiction, and those who do not really understand the Aries personality would probably use this hard word to describe it. They welcome challenges and will not be diverted from their purpose except by their own impatience, which will surface if they don't get quick results. In reality, action is the essence of the Aries psychology, the more direct, blunt and to the point action. This is the ideal psychological makeup for the warrior, the pioneer, the athlete or the manager. The lord of Aries, Mars is the commander of Army in solar family and therefore represent warrior. Aries has a great ability to mobilize energy, to apply strength with agility and mobility.

How Developed Are You Compared To The Traits Of Your Astrology Star Sign?

You are born into a particular astrology star sign which identify with certain traits but how developed are the characteristic of your astrology sign in you. Some of you may say yes but I am nothing like the traits of my star sign. For example a person born under the star sign Virgo is expected to have an analytical character and being a bit of a perfectionist who is very tidy and organized. But the Virgo person does not always feel he/she fit into that character and you may wonder why that is.

It may come as a surprise to you but all Virgos have not necessarily developed these qualities yet but are here to learn. The other explanation can be that they have other very powerful signs and planets in strong positions in their horoscope which can have such a dominating influence that it overpowers the astrological sun sign.

We are not all developed to the same level and some of are born with the qualities of their astrological sun sign and it is second to their nature while others need to develop the traits of their sun sign. But the abilities are there and once they learn how to discipline themselves and tune into their individual qualities it will become more natural to them.

So why are some young kids able to play the piano like a professional adult who have played the piano and practiced for years to become a wonderful pianist? That is simply a fascinating topic to speculate on. Do those kids happen to be born with a superior talent or can there be another explanation for this?

And some young kids are able to paint wonderful paintings like a highly skilled artist and they can't paint them fast enough to meet the demand there is for their paintings. People are waiting to buy them and willing to pay well for them.

Many astrologers believe in reincarnation and that the talents that we have developed in a past lifetime are something we bring with us in to this lifetime. And that could be a good explanation for how those young kids can be so talented that it just about blows our mind as to how they are able to carry out such mature performances in their young age.

So if you are wondering why you do not identify with the astrology star sign you are born under then there might be a much deeper explanation to it than you have anticipated in the past. Your horoscope will give you a fairly good idea as to what level you have developed your astrology star sign.

The " astrology sun signs " can tell you a lot about a person and it is also very interesting to study and identify the traits of your family and friends. Each sun sign has special individual traits and the rest of the planets in your horoscope will add uniqueness to a persons personality. You can learn more here " About Astrology "

The Sagittarius Man: Learn His Secrets to Conquer His Heart

If you have set your eyes on a man from this astrological sign, you will have your work cut out. This man can be great fun and he is very charming, but he's a player, an adventurer, a freedom-seeker, a socialite, always on the move in one way or another.

This type of man has the need to explore thus meeting new people, new territories and making new experiences. If you are a homebody who likes a simple, quiet, un-glamorous life (away from all those 'frills'), you may find that this type of man may be a challenge for you; he will take you out of your comfort zone and, for a while, you will have great fun and excitement; but, in the long run, it may get tiresome for you.

Beware of the double nature 'lurking' behind this type of man, because you may at first meet one 'side' but not the other, which may surface soon or even after several years, catching you by surprise: on one hand he may be a conformist, a 'regular middle-class' guy who follows the rules of society in every aspect. On the other hand, he may be an anarchic, a rebel, wandering about like a 'bad boy'. You may experience both these types in phases which can vary in length; it has been knows that some typical Sagittarius men, after years of conservative family life have 'packed it in' and become 'free spirits', at times looking for either the love of their life or adventure after adventure, in a life full of wondrous quests. Some other typical Sagittarius men, on the other hand, after years of being the 'bad boy' finally decided to seek one companion for life and settle for a very typical 'family life'.

When this type of man is in love he may be the stereotypical (immature) male who idealizes love and romance; this is why he is likely to believe (and make you believe) that you are (at least for the moment) the most interesting, exciting, marvellous, beautiful woman in the whole world. Because this is what he needs to think (that you are absolutely the best in the world), he is attracted to experienced, 'mature' (at least in their behaviour) women; so, if you want to entice this type of man, you must shed silliness and girl-like behaviour and, instead, embrace womanhood, mystery, intelligence and emotional maturity. You must be self-confident (without being vain) and emanate sex-appeal and energy: this type of man responds well to these traits. Because he tends to think that every relationship is a step forward towards his emotional maturity and fulfillment, he tends to have a 'utilitarian' rather than 'creative' approach to relationships, in that he may get bored easily and move on to the next 'step' or 'adventure'. If you want to 'stick around' you may have to create emotional challenges for him from now to eternity to keep him guessing and interested.

Whilst he is dating you and in love with you, he is full of energy and will definitely make you feel energized and excited; he is definitely generous, appreciative and courteous; he may buy you a series of gifts or take you to expensive or exciting holidays, trying to sweep you off your feet.

Whilst he is enamored with you, this is the time for you to create your 'strategy' to make him want you over and over and never get bored with you. It's a huge job, but if you want to undertake it, you must become like a 'beautiful, exotic country' which he wants to explore, discover over and over, a terrain full of surprises and changes, even challenges, as long he has never time to feel 'bored'. I would suggest to becoming more involved with yourself, your many projects, your own life discoveries, so that in turn you become a lot more interesting to him, over and over. As far as looks are concerned, you may want to change your appearance every now and then just to be a 'new woman' when the time comes and you feel he's in need of a new challenge. The best seduction techniques for the astrological sign and the 'strategy' to conquer will ensure you will win whilst pursuing this man.

BEST SEDUCTION TECHNIQUES WITH A SAGITTARIUS MAN is where you can find the best 'strategy' to win the heart of a Sagittarius man.

If you want to find out how to be the best match for your Sagittarius man, or how to have the best relationship or marriage with him, go to SAGITTARIUS MAN RELATIONSHIPS

Basic History of Astrology

Astrology has been regarded as one of the most searched topics in various search engines. There are various critics of this spiritual study which is commemorated with a subtle combination of ancient astrological history, planetary scrutiny, earliest horoscope and astrological movements. At the same time, there are aficionados of this particular concept as well.

In astrology, planetary observations are measured and analyzed with the help of stone circles which appeared in Europe. Afterward, there were more stone circles found across the Middle East regions in countries like Syria, Egypt and Israel. Stone circles look as means to calculate the time with summer/winter solstice's analyses. In addition, they also give a picturesque representation of priests and farmer's years. All the planetary movements in the galaxy are observed as per the position of Earth and moon in space. There are twelve visible constellations in the night sky which are called zodiacs in astrology.

History of astrology is quite ancient as various eclipses and planets movements were observed from the high temples in Babylon before 3000BC. During 5th and 6th BC, Greek civilizations renamed planetary movements as zodiacs. Various cultures such as Mesopotamian, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Sumerians and the Chaldeans seem inclined towards planetary movements. They kept sun and some other stars along with moon as datum points for measurements.

Every study needs some way to represent its ideas and concepts. This led to the generation of horoscopes that are the diagrammatic representations of planetary relationships and used to forecast somebody's future and personality traits. The earliest horoscope was used to predict the fortune of a new born infant. Formerly, ancient predictions forecasted wars and natural calamities which were later used to tell the fortune of national leaders too. Later on, various countries like Egypt, China, India and Greece got inclined towards astrology. Americans and Europeans also developed their types of astronomy and astrology with the help of latest techniques. Mayans of Mexico is one of the famous astrological forecasting methodologies.

Greeks represented their Gods as planets and Romans recognized astrological forecasting as a way for divination. There were more techniques associated with the development of astrology such as Days' rulers association, 10° portions of the dacans(signs) and planets' weeks. Slowly, astrology was accepted by various other fields such as religion, medicine and philosophy. The basic idea of Macrocosm plus Macrocosm which is more popularly known with "as above as below" was also under the influence of astrology only. Nowadays, astrological forecasts come every day on every other newspaper as daily forecasts.

Midpoints: Astrological Treasures

In astrology there are so very many valuable "tools" or techniques with which the astrologer can employ for a chart delineation. There are transits, and progressions, such as primary directions; secondary directions; tertiary Moon; Solar and Lunar return progressions to name a few. Trying to select or choose one of these tools however, can be overwhelming and complex, even for the most experienced astrologer. I try to use the ones that get to the heart of the situation as expeditiously as possible; get in and out as quickly, and simply as possible, with all the information that I originally came for.

Over the years I have spoken with many astrologers, each and every one of them having their own specific and favorite tool(s) they use to extricate the information they felt was the most advantageous for their clients. There was one particular astrologer I knew that only used transits to summarize what potentially lay in store for her clients, which I felt, and still feel is tremendously limiting, but to each their own.

I have found that Midpoints are enormously rewarding for what it is I wish to achieve. The use of midpointsis not a new concept, and has been in active use since before the 16th century. Now, for those of you that are not familiar with astrology or midpoints, midpoint is a term that refers to the middle space between any two points (you think?). Most astrologers or mathematicians refer to midpoints as combinations, or halfsum as a general term. These terms can, and are used interchangeably when discussing the distance between two planets, angles, or theoretical points such as an ecliptic (the apparent paths of the Sun and Moon's orbit intersections).

As with any point or part of the astrological chart, it is in constant flux and ever changing. If you think of the astrological wheel as a living organism (which it is), then you will understand that the planets in your birth chart are now in different positions than from the time you were born. With only ten planets in the astrological chart (some of which move at an excruciatingly slow pace), the possibilities for the activation of any original positions in the birth chart are limited when compared to a midpoint sort. Please keep in mind that there is a mid distance for everything in your chart; planets, angles, Arabic Points, asteroids, etc.

I can't possibly detail how this all works in a short blog, but I encourage you to investigate and research this application of the midpoint system and how your chart, and its sensitive points are activated daily. I recommend using the 90° midpoint sort along with two books for those that wish to pursue midpoints. I have read only one of the two, and was recommended the second by a reputable colleague. Please remember that it will take you some time to adjust to this technique, but if you stay with it you just might find a method to this madness.

Love, Astrology and Karma: How The Universe Conspires To Connect LOVERS And Lifetimes!

Do you believe in the karma of love? The spiritual connection between two people that transcends lifetimes? If you've experienced the amazing, almost inexplicable closeness that loving someone so deeply can bring, it's NOT a hard leap to make that love can extend beyond a single lifetime. Whether you are religious, or simply romantic, the idea that we come into this world with a spiritual other half, or a potential partner we picked LONG before this life began, is a popular concept in MOST conventional spiritual traditions, and new age thought alike.

For example?

Kaballah, or the "mystical" interpretation of much Jewish law, believes that every soul is "split" into two halves, when it is born physical form. The subsequent search for one's "Beshert", or spiritual soulmate is a very fundamental part of Jewish life and love... and those that practice believe that the Universe, or the higher planes of existence hold the key to ALL the answers of life, LOVE, karma and connection.

What about other religions or belief systems?

Almost all have a rich history and teaching on the tradition of soulmates and spiritual partnerships that transcend lifetimes. But the simple truth is, the belief in karma, and the amazing way that the Universe conspires to teach us lessons about LOVE have the power to transform your life in incredible ways, if you open your heart, and HEAD to the power and potential that lies within.

Here is a GREAT example:

In his series of books of national bestselling books on karma, LOVE and spiritual progress like "Only Love is Real", Dr Brian Weiss, a Harvard trained Psychiatrist stumbled upon a weird therapy technique that seemed to resolve almost ALL of his patients relationship issues: He REGRESSED them using hypnosis to previous lives... where they encountered many of the SAME people that they had relationship issues with today. What started out as an accident, became the SOLE focus of his psychiatry practice for 20 years thereafter.

Marriages and love affairs that were problematic in THIS life, he found had their origins in other incarnations. Even parent and sibling relationship problems were found to have their origin in prior "lifetimes" where similar dynamics (often reversed) were in play.

And whether you believe it's all a bunch of "bunk" or not... the simple truth is, this bizarre therapy WORKED! Patients found that facing, and then resolving marital problems in a previous lifetime, while regressed... was an incredible and almost INSTANT way to overcome problems in their present one.

Why?

Because they realized that their soul-mates... or spiritual partners, were special "souls" who they were here to grow with, share with and learn from. And that the problems they faced were very small, compared to the Universal grand plan for each of us, which is to continue to evolve, learn lessons, and strive for a state of pure love and bliss.

Here is EXACTLY what I've learned about love, the universe and my own spiritual progress:

We each choose, to some degree, the cycle and circumstances that govern our lives. (the astrological elements of this incarnation)

We each choose the relationships and spiritual partners we are here to HEAL, to help and to grow with

Everything is a matter of CHOICE. There are no fixed outcomes, or static endings that are set in stone.

That which we DON'T figure out now... will need to revisited in the future..:-) Problems with a parent, or splits with a spouse, if NOT addressed and overcome now, stay in our karma of "connection" and NOT working through them is only procrastinating on a GRAND cosmic scale and stage.

Lastly - and I truly believe this, the ONLY thing that really matters is love. How much you are able to give... and of course, hopefully, how much you feel in return. Everything else, as Shakespeare said so well - is pretty much sound and noise, signifying nothing.

Only love is real. Learn THAT one lesson, and the stars will SMILE on you, I promise..:-)

Experiential Psychological Astrology - Part 1

Defense mechanisms - oppositions in the horoscope

How do oppositions really work in the horoscope? Generally they are perceived as showing a split between the energy of two planets, a difficulty in finding a balance or middle way between two opposing parts of the psyche, or the needs they represent. The personal planets shows personal needs, whilst the outer planets show the challenges that our needs encounter. Certainly the opposition represents a polarity which sparks a constant process of negotiation within the person.

It is very difficult for the person to feel or express both planets at the same time - there is an inner division or divide. This is in all likelihood because one of the needs (the one planet) has been difficult for the person to relate to or even access whilst growing up. An unfulfilled need takes up a lot of space, and when grown up the person must resort to projecting this need onto others, and is dependent on another person to express the need (the planetary principle) to be able to feel whole.

Projection is a defense mechanism to avoid feeling an emotion or a need that has historically been dangerous or forbidden to satisfy. If this defense mechanism could speak, it would say: "you must under no circumstances feel, think or act in this way". The projection or opposition works also in a way that other people are ascribed feelings, acts and thoughts, which in fact belong to the person. The target person or group does not have anything to do with it. This happens because owning these feelings or needs is such a threat to the identity that it has become a habit to project them. So other people are made wrong whenever a "dangerous" feeling related to the need begins to be felt.

An example

Take for example a person with a Venus/Pluto opposition. There will perhaps have been an experience of abandonment or loss of love, which was a threat to the identity, resulting is a deep longing to be valued, loved and have contact early in life. The person has a residual anxiety about losing, and love is equated with survival. To feel that one really needs another person is forbidden, and furthermore the person may not express love tangibly enough, developing a shell of self-sufficiency.

The Pluto principle is projected onto the partner: "you are a threat to me, you will probably abandon me, I will suppress my jealousy and strive to manipulate you and control you, so you will not leave me". The partner is made to be wrong, is criticized or is threatened so that the unbearable feeling of being powerless disappears.

It is possible to work with the two planets in an empathic and therapeutic way when the bond between therapist and client is secure. A classic technique is working with two chairs, when the client feels both needs in turn. Firstly the Venus principle - a need for affection and recognition, to love and be loved. Subsequently the Pluto defense, which is activated when the inner anxiety or emotional level becomes too strong. The motivation of the Pluto projection onto a partner could for example be: "I must dominate you and threaten to leave you, because you will surely leave me. You have to feel like I do, or be of the same opinion, otherwise you are not going to be close enough to me".

Moving from one chair to another can start a negotiation between the needs, so that the dilemma softens up. It is an exercise in feeling what is normally so dangerous to feel. This work demands a safe therapeutic relationship which has been developed over time, and a willingness to experiment and feel the self. Being able to express the emotions that come to the surface in this way gives an experience of being whole and complete. Therapy takes time and the development of complete trust takes time. In group work this is only possible when the participants meet regularly in an experiential psychological astrology framework. Bonding and security are the foundation blocks for making this work, and a group can be just the place where empathy is strong and transformation can take place.

Gemstones Use in Astrology

A gemstone is also known as a semi-precious or precious piece of stone that is cut and then polished to make them into jewelery or other ornaments. Gemstones are generally hard, and are used as decorative pieces on jewelery because of its lustre and visual value. Another characteristic of gemstones is that they are rare. Because of all the reason they are available at high costs and used by a few people.

Not only this, gemstones are also used for astrology. They have healing and energetic powers and suit to people only according to their sun-signs. Vedic astrology says that gems are used for understanding the planetary weaknesses of the human's astrological graph. Such weaknesses many times are the reasons for physical and psychological problems in the people. Gemstones are used for' Grah shanti' that means making peace with the planetary positions so that the person is able to live a smooth life.

Astrology gemstones are required to be worn with particular types of metals that suit the gemstone. The most company used metals are bronze, gold, copper, amalgams and silver. For gemstones to be effective, it is required that the gemstones should be of the best quality. They should be clear cut and eye clean. The better the cut and visibility, higher is the price.

Astrology gemstones are mostly placed in jewelery like ring and pendants. It is necessary that they touch the sin of the person so that they can produce their healing effects in the best manner. Before wearing these astrology gemstones, there is a proper procedure that needs to be followed. Firstly these have to be washed in holy water and according to the gemstone type, other procedures are followed.

Not all gemstones suit everyone. They can have positive as well as negative attributes depending on the astrological charter of the person. Only expert Jyotishis can tell the right gemstone of the person concerned. Based on the planetary positions, the astrology gemstones for each planet are as follows:

For Sun the gemstone is ruby.
For Moon, the gemstone is pearl
For Mercury, the gemstone is emerald
For Venus, the gemstone is diamond
For mars the gemstone is Red Coral
For Jupiter, the gemstone is Yellow Sapphire
For Saturn, the gemstone is Blue Sapphire

These are used in order to improve the weakened positions of the concerned planets in the person's life. For example, is the position of the sun is weak in the person's life, then he would be advised to wear ruby.

Can A Gem Stone Change Fate?

To counteract the adverse affects of vibrations of planets, or to enhance the beneficial planetary vibrations on the human system the occultists advice the use of gem stones.

A man is influenced by cosmic forces emanating from the transits of planets. The effect of planets in the form of cosmic vibrations varies on different people depending upon the strength of the natal chart.

Colour, precious gems and metals are influenced by planetary configurations and transits. It affects the all spheres of human activity like health, prestige position, happiness, financial gains, business, marital bliss and all types of human relations and social life.

Effects of a gem stone:
To enhance the beneficial cosmic vibrationsCounteract evil planetary influences

How a gem stone works:
A gemstone recoups the deficiency caused by a particular colour by transmitting that colour into the body when it transmits the cosmic rays in the required proportion to the body.
A gem stone works as a prism or a lens to reflect or receive the rays from the planets to an optimum pleasant situation on the human beings, and blessing the native with the full benefit of the cosmic vibrations.
Gems have capacity to absorb influences from the Sun and universe. Each gem focalises certain cosmic forces and directs them to us.

Colour dynamics of gems:
Colour in the form of light is the part of electromagnetic spectrum.
All electromagnetic waves are identical expect in wavelength and frequency.
All types of radiant energy travel at the same speed.
Each colour has a definite wavelength, frequency and impact force.
The waves of electromagnetic spectrum effects health, happiness comfort, lifestyle and events.
The magnetism from the human aura is constantly influenced by negative cosmic forces from malefic planetary their locations and aspects found in one's natal horoscope and the daily/periodic transit of these planets through the zodiac.
When the protective barriers of the human aura is broken by these malefic astral forces, a proper gem stone with its positive energy can break away these evil forces which cause trouble and miseries in the life.
The counteraction is caused by the positive vibration emitted by the gem.
These positive vibrations neutralize all the forces of harmful and negative astral influences.

Precautions while wearing a gem stone:
Gems themselves do not have magical powers to change one's destiny but helps one to overpower planetary influences and evil transits.
Only natural and gems are beneficial synthetic gems have no value for occult purpose.
Gems are used for strengthening the weakness caused by the effects of a specific malefic planet caused by its position/aspect/transits.
It may also used for strengthening the already well positioned planets.
If we strengthen the planetary effects of a specific planet too much, it may cause others problems, like if you are wearing ruby for strengthening the planetary effects of the Sun you may acquire fame, fortune independence and eloquence but you might also arouse jealousy in other.
The due result from a gem stone can be achieved only by their use of right quality, size and cutting.
The gems are crystalline in nature and have higher degree of density hence they act much faster than the cheap artificial substitutes which are mostly amorphous in nature.
Natives are advised to consult experienced astrologers for their lucky and appropriate gem stone, who will give them the right advice after analysing the correct horoscope.
Always avoid wearing inimical gemstone like never wear diamond, blue sapphire and hessonite garnet [gomed] with coral.

Taurus Horoscope for July 2011

A busy, chatty time ahead in and around the base of operations or with family. You'll want to initiate improvements with what you own already or be keener to get your hands on more stuff large or small. You could be more enterprising in a business sense and strive to gather or protect resources of various kinds. You may be taking steps (literally) to improve health and fitness, your own or someone else's. With lots on your mind concerning the home base or facility members, you'll be multi-tasking and maybe feeling a bit emotional or scattered as you adapt to a changing environment. Also you are gathering information and experience as you go forwards. Maybe it will be important to present yourself and your ideas in the best way you can so as to bring others around to your way of thinking which will be much easier after the 3rd.

Or maybe you will be listening and speaking in a gentler or more humorous way. But you are more likely to be making friends, enjoying the sights and sounds around you and there may be more comings and goings which are stimulating and interesting. More travel could be on the agenda too.

Jupiter, in your sign for about 12 months, ushers in a cycle of expansion across the board. 'Learning through doing' is a key feature of Jupiter, but also you are likely to travel more or have more contact with those at a distance. You will also interact with people with very different views or cultural backgrounds at times. Time to get spread your wings Taurus and get the eagle-eye view.

Saturn continues its transit of Libra until Autumn 2012 which means you are in a cycle of having to work harder at health and fitness, in some cases taking more of an interest in the foodstuffs you use to nourish your body and being more aware what is good for you and what is not. Perhaps looking at cleansing regimes and other therapeutic practices. You'll have to adopt a step-by-step attitude and make use of that famous Taurean determination to be successful. Maybe you will become more self-disciplined about therapy, diet and exercise but also be upgrading the quality of your lines of supply. So some of you may take more interest in gardening, organic foods or gradually develop a more sensible diet or exercise regime.

For several years, Uranus will be working from behind the scenes helping you to tie up loose ends from the past and this would be a good time for some inner or spiritual work and squaring up to anything counterproductive in your emotional responses or general behaviour. Maybe you will be working innovatively or altruistically for those less fortunate or more needy. You may be connected to a group working for a good cause behind the scenes. It could also mean sudden flashes of insight into other dimensions too!

Neptune has temporarily vacated your career sector helping to bring more clarity about your place in the world, how others see you, and you can get more into gear with your life-goals and ambitions. Taureans born in the first 2 days or with 2 degrees of Taurus rising will feel this influence most this month.

For many years Pluto will subtly facilitate internal gear-shifts in deeper feelings and outer approach, helping you evolve your consciousness as old doors close and new ones open. Partly this could be related to a those at a distance, travel, or a foreign culture.

From the 23rd the focus will be on family, a locality a community and maybe centered around the private base of operations whether permanent or temporary.

Leo Horoscope for July 2011

There's a feeling of preparation and regeneration until the 23rd so you may be inclined to get on with things behind the scenes. There will be moments when you may be feeling more introspective, more open to your intuition, imagination, the unconscious, dreams, source energy. On the other hand there could be someone around you relying on you and you must put your own desires on one side to make yourself available to benefit them or the bigger picture. For you personally, this is a phase when you should listen to your inner guidance, perhaps reflect upon elements of the past and go in for self-nurturing activities.

Good people skills will be required as there may be a strong pull for you to mix and mingle for work or pleasure and there could be a lot of fleeting influences keeping you mentally on your toes. And you could get a little scattered at times. Correspondence, bouncing ideas off others, social interaction for business or pleasure may feed in to ideas or projects you've waited to achieve for a while now. It could be you pulling strings from the background or just keeping an eye on things as there may be quite a lot going on and many, sometimes unpredictable influences around you. But you'll have a tendency to push things forwards in co-operative efforts or at least play a more decisive role.

Venus is in a more background, area til the 29th. You and others could join forces for a team-project or for health-related or spiritual reasons. Or others could be providing a service for you. Also this may signify as a relationship you find healing or nurturing in other ways but which you are keeping quiet about or which demands an element of healing support from you.

THE SLOWER MOVING PLANETS:

For about a year, Jupiter will be swinging open new doors in your career sector and your general life direction meaning the cards will be stacked in your favour related to advancement in the world - whether that means career opportunities or something coming along to expand your overall direction into new areas. Recognition and success could be coming your way but there may be more than one avenue you can pursue. Communications across a wider stage, travel or foreign connections could be part of the picture. As the transit unfolds, the offers and opportunities will be there for you to tap into.

Until 2012, Saturn continues to emphasise that communications is an area where you have to be well organized. Sometimes Saturn will throw a spanner in the works which could affect communications equipment or vehicles.

Education or mental work is highlighted and you will have to be consistent regarding paper-work, deadlines, or other types of media which may be more creative. Maybe having to be the patient explainer, teacher, or co-ordinator or juggling various schedules and interacting with others with differing points of view or levels of understanding which demand a serious mental focus from you. You won't want to waste too much time on gossip, you'd rather cut to the chase and bring some structure to your communications activity. And there's a real sense of routine with all of this too.

The vibration could also translate as keeping your ear to the ground, listening more intuitively and sensing which way the wind is blowing in the group consciousness. Feeling more pressure not only to communicate well but to listen well. Also you may be struggling to find the right presentation for what you wish to express or where to source reliable information. More routine comings and goings are a strong possibility too. But whatever is going on in this regard, understand that you are building knowledge or a data base, or expressing yourself through some medium in a step-by-step manner which will stand you in good stead in the long-run. Perseverance in developing writing, speaking or artistic skills could create you a reputation or image which stands the test of time long into the future.

With Uranus slowly transiting through an expansive area of your Solar chart, expect your familiar way of thinking and interpreting the world to change slowly, maybe in ways you never expected. Certain realizations could be a revelation to you and you are inspired by the implications. More travel or contact with foreign lands, faraway places or fresh fields of interest is likely.

The first week of Leo or 7 degrees of Leo Rising will feel this influence most this month. These natives may already have noticed that plans for the future or life itself has suddenly taken off in a new direction and the energy is buzzy and unusual. For some of you this transit will begin to help you achieve a long-cherished dream or ambition on the back-burner of your life for a very long time.

Neptune in Pisces until August 5th will help clarify where you and another stand in close one-to-one relationships. No longer the confusion or muddled feelings of the past. Now you must strive to be crystal clear and business-like in matters of joint resources and whether expectations merge or conflict in relationships as the tendency is to let things slide and just take someone on trust. Related to financial or property agreements, make sure you are crystal clear where both of you stand. On another level your imagination and intuitive guidance is working more strongly than ever and some of you may have mystical experiences. Leos born in the first 1-2 days or the first degree of Leo rising will feel this influence the most this month.

Pluto in your area of work and health for many years may be flagging up imbalances and accumulated toxins in your system. If you feel yours or someone's health is out of wack, Pluto the planet of regeneration, will help you get to the bottom of anything which interferes with optimum health and that includes negative thoughts or bad habits which invite disease. Pluto is about root causes and will help you get to the roots of any physical disturbance by examining whether you have built up stress or resentments stemming from the past. Definitely a time to listen to the body and intuit the body/mind connection and what you need to let go of so as to rise phoenix-like from the ashes of the past into brilliant good health.

Pluto will also root out grievances or unrequited yearnings regarding the work you do and will help you regenerate your working life too.

Pluto is an extremist planet so just remember no matter how compelling these areas seem to you, make the time for healthy exercise and fun/entertaining activities. Leos born July 26th to August 1st or with 3-8 degrees Leo rising will feel this vibration most strongly this month.

From the 23rd the Sun is in your sign means the way should be clearer to get on with the kinds of things you want to do for yourself.

Astrology Forecast for June 2011 - General Tendencies for All Sun Signs

We have 2 eclipses this month bringing changes, and we may see some good luck and creative energy during the first half of June. But, as this month progresses, we could encounter problems and unexpected emergencies. We will actually have 3 eclipses this summer with the final one on July 1st. June could be a month of transition and spiritual hurtles. Try to be prepared for anything, and don't press your luck.

The month begins with a new moon solar eclipse in Gemini singing in harmony with Saturn on June 1st. This will be an excellent time for changes in business, or some may just be ready to make some practical changes at home. The eclipse will be the major influence for change, but we also have 2 outer planets influencing changes. Neptune will be turning retrograde on June 3rd, and Jupiter will enter Taurus on June 4th. Those with dominate Pisces in their charts may find that the changes upon them are difficult and upsetting. Sagittarius and Taurus may discover that there are opportunities for fortune in their grasp.

The week of June 6th looks very promising with two outer planets, Jupiter and Neptune, singing in harmony. My Llewellyn Calender calls it, "mystical inspiration." It will be an excellent week for creative projects and romantic encounters, but Venus will be angry with the lineup. Taurus and Libra may need to watch out for delusions or confusion. Because these two planets are sitting on the cusps, there could be some heroic moments. Keep the cape handy, because someone may need to be rescued.

Sunday, June 12th could be a day of inspiration with Saturn turning direct, Mercury joining the Sun, and Venus singing with Uranus. Things could turn out better than we planned on that day, but with an approaching lunar eclipse on June 15th, there could also be some unexpected issues to deal with. This eclipse will be a total lunar eclipse and will not be viewable from the US. Nonetheless, it will still affect us. There could be changes in travel, or some could have unexpected problems with their cars. This eclipse could also affect siblings, neighbors, and even higher education and institutions.

There could be a few more upsets on Fathers' Day and on through the first few days of the week of June 19th. Mercury and Pluto will be at a standoff on Sunday, which could cause some of us to put our feet in our mouths. Think before you speak, because there is a potential for quarrels. Mars will be in a battle with Neptune through June 22nd, and this may really drain our energy. Laziness could become pandemic. Some may reach for their addictions to cope. The Sun will move in to appease Mars and Neptune on May 22nd, so there could be some positive results from our efforts. Things will improve as we approach the weekend, and good-luck could be shining upon us once again.

The week of June 26th could bring more upsets and mistakes with the Sun, Uranus, and Pluto at a T-square. There could be arguments, accidents, and even thefts. But Mars will be appeasing Uranus, so if we don't let things get us down, we may just find success in the long run.

We will have one more eclipse this summer on Friday, July 1st, so June could quite probably end with turmoil. July looks much more serene. Check back next month to find out more.

Aries Horoscope for July 2011

It looks like the focus will be on family, and those in the community. Maybe centered around the private base of operations, probably a lot of activity and chat going on right in your own back yard, even if you aren't technically at home. For most of the month. Venus, in your home area, means you are more inclined to appreciate nature or the atmosphere around you or maybe you and someone are enjoying where you are currently located. Much to stimulate you socially as you may be meeting and greeting a lot or out and about more and places or people keep you mentally on the go. Some of you may want to beautify your space or help someone with theirs and there is a generally a welcoming or friendlier feeling with certain people or places. A great time to bury the hatchet if an old feud or inner tensions have been dogging your footsteps.

So, the focus is on emotional foundations too and you could feel a little sensitive or nostalgic at times.

But the mental focus will have an entertaining, playful feel and there could be more discussions with children, young people and interaction with animals or access to leisure activities. You should be feeling sociable and mobile within your community wherever you are.

THE SLOWER MOVING PLANETS:

Jupiter's current position is a good omen for improvements regarding finances, property and your physical condition over the next 12 months. A beneficial influence in these areas if you are willing to go with the Jupiter vibration of being open to learn through doing but also seizing sometimes surprising opportunities to improve upon something and perhaps honing skills in the process but also putting past experience to work in a way which turns them into cash. Jupiter here sometimes amounts to something with potential dropping into your lap out of a clear blue sky, so don't fail to recognize the potential!

Overall, this will be a cycle of reaching for better things related to material security through talents and abilities as well as possessions, property and other lines of supply which can nourish you. Also, maximizing your earning power through development of latent abilities. Natural resources, equipment or a better venue will flow more readily towards you over the coming 12 month period. And with Uranus in your sign it may be a good idea to be open to the anything alternative or complimentary too.

The long transit of Saturn continues to test you through close alliances, putting more on your shoulders at times and trying your patience, but also helping you to build seriously useful connections with those you may look up to. Its others in working or personal relationships that could pile on the pressure or just have high expectations of you. Maybe you perceive their demands are unreasonable or maybe they justifiably know you can do better. However it is, the reality may be all about striking a better balance in your close relationships through a deeper mutual understanding or through questioning how your behaviour does or doesn't get you what you want in close one-to-one involvement with others and then figuring out how to improve it. Underlying these outward manifestations Saturn, planet of boundaries, is there to help you get the right balance between their needs and requirements and your own.

This theme continues well into 2012, and although you may not be in the best of moods when it comes to certain people, your power to focus on the job in hand is greater. You can reap rewards of what has been planted by what you build now through more challenge in relationships in the future if you take things one step by step at a time with certain others in your life. This Saturn transit may get you more acutely aware of what's been missing in personal or professional relationships and you are seeking a long-term commitment with someone who is more your style.

Uranus entered your sign on March 11th and will be there for many years. During this time the winds of deep, transformative change will be altering you and your world in ways which can be surprising, but are also ground-breaking. You will have to be flexible and open-minded as you adapt to new conditions inwardly and outwardly. But you could be raising a few eye-brows along the way as Uranus is the spirit of experimentation, revolution and non-conformity which facilitates evolution and part of a significant growth process even though it may be unpredictable at times. You should allow yourself to be ultra-flexible in your approach and experiment with alternative or unconventional approaches in your life.

Ariens born in the first week will feel this vibration most this month, and those with the first 6 degrees of Aries rising.

Neptune is working in the background, sensitising you to a subtler more psychic, spiritual or imaginative influence and you may find your dreams or visions become more vivid. You may need more sleep. If you need to heal or are supporting someone else, Neptune, planet of empathy, will help best through energy work and light healing and following your intuitive hunches.

Ariens born in the first 3 days or with 2 degrees of Aries rising will feel the energy most this month.

The life-changing force of Pluto continues to be felt across your sign from Capricorn. Choices should be coming from a deeper place now. As the hand of destiny is at your back gently guiding you forwards. Over 2011 there will be an increasing urge for you to be free of outlived aspects in relationships or outmoded professional set-ups, or place on the map and, in general, become more the real you in whatever you do. Ariens born 23rd-30th March will feel this energy most acutely this month.

From the 23rd you'll be in a lighter, more creative even romantic frame of mind and have more opportunities for enjoying entertaining activities.

Lance Armstrong's Lesson

Lance Armstrong is in the news again. No surprise this is happening in May, 2011 - a 9 Universal Month. Lance's Birth Numbers are completely dominated by the number 9.

1. Lance Armstrong was born on the 18th, a 9 Day of Birth.

2. He has a 36/9 Life Purpose Number, based on all the digits of his birthday.

3. Lance's Essence Number - Month and Day - is 18/9.

4. Lance's Year of Birth is 1971, adding up to 18/9.

5. Lance's Destiny Number, based on his birth name 'Lance Edward Gunderson', is 90/9.

This remarkable series of 9's is extremely rare.

What do all these 9s and 18/9s mean? When expressed positively, 9 symbolizes the King of Numbers. 9 is the final single digit, and thus holds all the other numbers within it.

Multiply any number by 9, and the total ALWAYS reduces to 9. For example, 9 times 12 equals 108 and the digits in 108 add up to 9.

Add 9 to any number, and the sum will ALWAYS reduce to the same root number. For example, 9 + 22 = 31. When you add the digits in either 22 or 31, the sum is the same -
4.

9 looks like a body with a very large head sitting on top. The head represents wisdom. As the 'Humanitarian Number', 9's special purpose is to raise humanity's consciousness with compassion and love.

9's do this by being a role model.

Since 9's will be emulated by others, whether they like it or not, 9's must always 'walk their talk'.

When balanced, 9's are natural leaders, who's very life teaches by example.

All 9's have a strong inclination to follow something they believe in, and pursue it with tremendous ambition and drive.

Here's the thing. 9's are perfectionists. They expect perfection from themselves - and place these high expectations on others. The big lessons for 9's is to learn to forgive, and to trust their inner wisdom. The wisdom is always revealed in their Feelings - 9 lies in the 3-6-9 'Feeling' Triad of numbers.

A 9 person's greatest wish is to serve the world in some capacity.

When 9 is expressed negatively, he or she is overconfident, does not listen, has a larger than life Ego, lies, is immoral, possessive, bitter and corrupt.

Negative 9's are critical of others and feel 'I can do no wrong - I am invincible.'

As for the other number in Lance's Birth Blueprint - 18, it is the Christ Consciousness vibration, reflecting the supreme heights of unconditional love and compassion. In the negative, 18 reflects materialism destroying spirituality through divisive tactics and deception.

Back in 2007 I wrote a newsletter called 'Did Lance Do It?'. Back then it was not popular to call Lance a liar, but I did.

At the time, I was living in Asheville, North Carolina and heard that Armstrong had just purchased a prestigious condo up the hill from my house. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a favorite training ground for U.S. cyclists.

So I checked out my soon-to-be neighbor's numerology. Here is part of what I wrote -

'Armstrong won the Tour de France, cycling's most prestigious race, seven consecutive times from 1999-2005.

'What makes this incredible feat more amazing is that he battled and won an even more dramatic fight in 1996. Having been diagnosed with testicular cancer, which spread to his brain and lungs, Armstrong's treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy.

'So how did he do it? And, more importantly - did he win without the help of performance enhancing drugs.

'Let me be clear before I answer. What you're about to read is my simple opinion based on what I gathered on Lance and his numbers.

'So here it goes. On the record.

'I believe Lance Armstrong DID take performance enhancing drugs.'

Last night on CBS' news magazine show '60 Minutes', Armstrong's teammate, former professional cyclist and Olympic Gold-medal winning athlete Tyler Hamilton, stated reluctantly that Lance and he had cheated.

It was a compelling interview.

Another cyclist, George Hincapie, who has more credibility, because of his clean record and close friendship with Lance has now also given testimony to the grand jury. It is Hincapie's testimony that could signal the beginning of the end of Lance Armstrong's name and his 'Livestrong' brand.

Stunningly, 'George Hincapie' has an 18/9 current name number. Amazingly, 'Tyler Hamilton' has a 45/9 current name.

Is it any 'coincidence' that these two former teammates are being exposed now - during a 9 Universal Month in the year of Manifesting Truth, 2011?

This morning the Editor-in-Chief of Bicycling Magazine, Peter Flax, said, 'Lance was the greatest champion in a very dirty era.' Flax continued by stating that we should all move on from whether Armstrong doped or not.

Flax explained that Armstrong's legacy is extremely complex.

Most of the cyclists Lance competed against were doping. In fact, most of the podium winners during that era have since been stripped of their titles.

As Tyler Hamilton explained on '60 Minutes', if you didn't dope - you had no chance of competing with the A-list guys.

Lance has expressed his multitude of 9's in a very complex way.

Armstrong's leadership and drive to succeed, as well as his quest to help others, is indisputable. These are typical 9 qualities - especially for someone like Lance, who ONLY has 9's in ALL his important birth numbers.

Yet, one important piece of the puzzle has been bringing him challenges.

His current name, "Lance Armstrong.'

'Lance Armstrong' resonate to 12 - the 'Victim' number. With this name frequency, Lance either feel victimized or is the victimizer.

Amazingly, his brand name 'Livestrong' ALSO resonates to 39 which adds up to 12.

It is no surprise that Lance's life has been filled with tremendous obstacles. With his 9's he has been able to overcome so much. Yet, he is lying about part of his life. Now, I'm sure he feels victimized - again.

In 2011, the year of walking though the 11 gateway in Truth - these lies are being exposed. Not just for Lance. But for us all.

Lance Armstrong could do so much good by coming out and admitting that his era of cycling was the most dope-infested ever.

By owning the Truth. And apologizing.

By teaching us how the self-imposed pressure to succeed can compromise integrity.

Lance Armstrong has a great opportunity to walk through the 11 gateway right now. Yet, he must snap out of feeling like a victim and first forgive himself. And forgive others. Then his life will truly exemplify 'winning against all odds.' Where his victory is exemplified by a total surrender to Love.

Just as importantly, I recommend Lance change the spelling of his current name to 'Lance Arrmstrong'.

Instead of his current highly challenging 12/3 'Victim Number', this new spelling would allow his life to get activated by the number 14/5 - a highly fortunate frequency.

His new spelling would help create a tremendous shift. That's because, a fortunate name totally supports you in a positive, uplifting way.

Your name is your most important asset. Be sure your name supports you.

Zodiac Sign - Aries

Astrology has always been an interesting topic. Whether you follow it religiously, or read your horoscope for fun, there is a definite entertaining aspect to it. Although, even reading your sign as entertainment, there are some attributes that seem more than coincidental.

The first sign of the Zodiac comes in the form of Aries. The sign is represented by the Ram. Traditionally, the Golden Ram rescued Phrixos and led him to the land of Colchis. The ram symbolises strength and resilience. Allowing Arians to plough through anything that life throws at them. Alas, an abundance of energy and confidence flow through the typical Arian.

It is known that Aries is one of the Cardinal signs of the Zodiac. To which means it starts a change of temperate and season. In the case of Aries, it marks the start of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Astrologers have noted that Cardinal signs are moveable. At least, in that the air changes when the Sun moves into the Cardinal sign.

Aries is seen to be ruled by the planet Mars. Sharing its name with the Roman god of war, there's a lot of similar traits with Arians. Confidence and self assertion are key traits here. Aggression, strength, energy, impulsiveness and ambition are also prevalent with Arians. To boot, Mars governs sports, which gives a competitive streak.

As such, Arians make for fantastic sportspeople. The physicality and drive for competition ensures success for those born under Aries. Even for all-out sports, but any situation involving competition. The kinetic nature pushes the Arian to strive for success.

Although, there's a negative aspect to Aries. Being so determined, there is also stubbornness. A fiery temper to boot, confidence levels may reach almost arrogant levels. Enough confidence to be good in leadership, but feel that only they should be there. So much so, they may come across controlling and demanding.

It is not surprising that Aries is a Fire sign. Ancient cultures associated fire with warmth and resourcefulness. With astrology, Fire denotes energy stoking the fiery personality within. Thus, this feeds into Aries being a "masculine" and positive, or extrovert, sign.

As with the Zodiac as a whole, Aries has certain romantic compatibilities. Other Fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius bode well with Aries. The fieriness of their temperament work well together. Although, to ensure neither fire is a dampened is necessary for an even relationship. Also, Aries works well with the Air signs, as air fuels fire. Alas, Water dampens and Earth smothers Fire, so these signs don't bode well with Arians.

In essence, Aries is a sign that won't back down. Insisting that it is right, especially in a competitive context. A competent leader, sure, but the Arian will do anything to become one.

With jmsastro.com, you will get more information about Aries.

Russian, Arabic and Jewish-Hebrew Numerology and German Umlauts

Numerology is an ancient system of decoding precise information about an individual soul and their specific reasons for incarnating on Earth. When decoding numerology charts for the Jewish-Hebrew, Russian, Arabic and German communities it is important to follow some basic guidelines as follows:

ARABIC NUMEROLOGY

Firstly, it is important to establish the correct Arabic alphabet used for the person you are decoding their numerology chart. There are a few slight variations to the Arabic alphabet where some variations include a small number of additional letters. Predominantly the Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters. The country or region of birth will generally indicate which variation to use. The Arabic alphabet is written from right to left and the numerology chart should always be decoded assigning numeric values to the alphabet with this in mind. The Arabic alphabet letters are pronounced as follows and assigned the following numeric values: Alif = 1, Baa = 2, Taa = 3, Thaa = 4, Jimm = 5, H-aa = 6, Xaa = 7, Daal = 8, Thaal = 9, Raa = 1, Zaay = 2, Siin = 3, Shiin = 4, Saad = 5, Daad = 6, T-aa = 7, T-haa = 8, Ayn = 9, Ghayn = 1, Faa = 2, Qaaf = 3, Kaaf = 4, Laam = 5, Miim = 6, Nuun = 7, Haa = 8, Waaw = 9, Yaa = 1

JEWISH-HEBREW NUMEROLOGY

The Hebrew Alphabet is also known as the Jewish Script and consists of 22 letters. As with the Arabic alphabet, it is written from right to left. The Hebrew alphabet letters are pronounced as follows and assigned the following numeric values when decoding a person's numerology chart: Alef = 1, Bet = 2, Gimel = 3, Dalet = 4, He = 5, Vav = 6, Zayin = 7, Het = 8, Tet = 9, Yod = 1, Kaf = 2, Lamed = 3, Mem = 4, Nun = 5, Samekh = 6, Ayin = 7, Pe = 8, Tsadi = 9, Qof = 1, Resh = 2, Shin = 3, Tav = 4

RUSSIAN NUMEROLOGY

The Russian alphabet consists of 33 letters and is a shortened variant of the Cyrillic alphabet and is written from left to right. The Russian alphabet letters are pronounced as follows and assigned the following numeric values when decoding a person's numerology chart: A = 1, Be = 2, Ve = 3, Ge = 4, De = 5, Ye = 6, Yo = 7, Zhe = 8, Ze = 9, I = 1, Short I = 2, Ka = 3, El = 4, Em = 5, En = 6, O = 7, Pe = 8, Er = 9, Es = 1, Te = 2, U = 3, Ef = 4, Kha = 5, Tse = 6, Che = 7, Sha = 8, Shcha = 9, Yer = 1, Yery = 2, Yeri = 3, E­ = 4, Yu = 5, Ya = 6

GERMAN NUMEROLOGY AND UMLAUTS

There is much mis-information about the application of the use of umlauts A, O, U, and the letter ? when applying these to German numerology. Because umlauts have been historically formed by merging a vowel with an E, such as A with E to equal A, many numerologists recommend assigning A = 1 and E = 5 and combining them for the letter A to equal 6. This is completely incorrect. Umlauts are completely "separate" letters and have their own vibrational energy in sequence with their queue placing in the alphabet. If you go to many of the "free numerology calculators" on the internet, and type in a name with umlauts, the numeric value of the names will also be completely incorrect. They do not match the correct vibrational sequence of the queue placing in the German alphabet that consists of 30 letters and they do not even match the misplaced suggestion of some numerologists to combine the vowel with the E. Our research in decoding the soul charts of many German born citizens with umlauts in their name has proven our findings that umlauts A, O, U, and the letter ? when applying these to German numerology should always be assigned the following numeric value, without exception: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5, F = 6, G = 7, H = 8, I = 9, J = 1, K = 2, L = 3, M = 4, N = 5, O = 6, P = 7, Q = 8, R = 9, S = 1, T = 2, U = 3, V = 4, W = 5, X = 6, Y = 7, Z = 8, A = 9, O = 1, U = 2, ? = 3

The Eclipses Are Coming - A Triple Play - Summer 2011

June 1st, June 15th, and July 1st, 2011

This Summer's eclipses may just creep up and surprise us. Things could start off with some unexpected pleasures or opportunities, but before they are finished we may find ourselves struggling to get along. We can't really blame it all on the eclipses, because there will be outer planetary trouble brewing around the same time. But, each of the 3 eclipses will also become progressively more troublesome.

Usually eclipses come in pairs and mostly twice a year, but this summer, we've got three in a row -- bang, bang, boom! Eclipses bring changes, and where they occur in our natal chart determines what areas of our lives will be affected. Eclipses can be the best determiner in predictive astrology. What that means is, when you look at the year ahead, you check to see where the upcoming eclipses will land. Its the easiest way to get quick a look at someone's astrological future.

Our first eclipse will be a partial solar eclipse on June 1st at 3:50 AM EDT. It will be at 11 degrees 3 minutes in Gemini. Obviously this eclipse will impact Gemini and Sagittarius, but it will also impact all the air signs, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. That's because this eclipse will be at a very tight, very positive aspect to Saturn in Libra. This will help to bring patients and stamina to the scattered Gemini in our personalities. Because eclipses bring changes, and Saturn rules hard work, we may find that we receive some long overdue rewards for our past efforts. We may also be ready to begin working at making positive changes in our lives.

The next eclipse will be a total lunar eclipse on June 15th at 4:12 PM EDT at 24 degrees 22 minutes in Sagittarius. This eclipse will not be making any aspects to any major planets, and there won't be any other planetary influences going on. So, anything we feel out of the ordinary at that time can definitely be blamed on the eclipse. Total eclipses have more "umph" than partial, so there will changes happening. Often people find change difficult and uncomfortable, and we don't like it! With this eclipse happening in Sagittarius, we may be expected to learn something new, possibly for the job, or we may just notice that there is an air of pessimism about. There could also be problems with neighbors, computers, our vehicles, and travel, so try to stay flexible.

As I mentioned above, these eclipses will get progressively worse, and this last one will be the grand finale. It will be a partial solar eclipse on July 1st at 4:38 AM EDT at 9 degrees 12 minutes in Cancer. Obviously this eclipse will affect Cancer and Capricorn, but there will also be problems in Libra and Aries (all of the cardinal signs). This eclipse will be at a very negative aspect to Saturn in Libra, and 9 of the 10 major planets in our solar system will be at some aspect to one another. Thats a lot of commotion all at once. The eclipse itself could bring problems and changes in relationships and at home. There could be marriage an/or family issues, and there may also be financial or even health problems (especially stress related health issues). The other planetary problems may actually amplify the eclipse energy, and they may cause problems to emerge in other areas of our lives including criminal behavior and repressed anger. But, there will also be a potential for great windfall in business, gambling, and even love. Because of this positive potential, those who can rise under pressure may actually find this eclipse energy will reward them.

And, thats the end of our Summer trio. The eclipses will return in November and December to upset Geminis and Sagittarians once again. If you are wanting to know more about how these eclipses will affect you, contact your favorite astrologer. Even a few minutes with an astrologer can help you learn more about yourself and your chart than you may realize.

Diabetes in Astrology

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder of the endocrine gland pancreas. When we eat, the pancreas automatically produces the appropriate amount of insulin to break down the sugar into glucose which is the main source of energy.

Diabetic people's pancreas either produces little or no insulin, hence excess glucose build up in the blood which overflows into the urine. In this way the body loses its main source of energy and subsequently becomes weak.

In astrology by the careful examination of the horoscope, it is possible to predict the susceptibility to the disease diabetes.

Astrological factors influencing diabetes are:

Ascendant: the general build up and strength of physical bodyVenus: rules kidney, suppression of urineMoon: rules pancreatic action and blood flow, urinary derangementJupiter: arteries, veins, degeneration, diabetesSign cancer: rules pancreas, bloodSign Libra: rules kidneys,and excretory systemSign Sagittarius: arterial system6th house: house of disease

Virgo Horoscope for July 2011

A progressive, forward-moving phase in store when friendships, new connections and group gatherings will be highlighted and you may be giving more thought to goals you have wished to achieve, for a very long time. The governing factor this month won't be what you know as much as who you know and how well you co-operate together. Overall, you are into a sociable and generally friendly vibration where business-type collaborations and social get-togethers of various kinds are emphasized especially after the 3rd. A time when the collective energy, the 'one mindedness' is amplified and there is likely to be more scope for unexpected or unconventional influences too.

Mars is in a public sector keeping you busy with image, presentation, bureaucracy or those in authority, and, if you are decisive and energetic, Mars will help you climb the ladder of success or make progress with the master-plan, but also with lesser goals and ambitions too. Some of you may have more robust interaction with a parent or guardian or be seen as an authority by others.

Also a great time for negotiations or socializing with people in a position to help you professionally or with your over-arching aims.

Friendships new or old and biz type contacts will be warm and sociable. Mutual support is likely. Mercury is in a more inward-looking, sensitive mood meaning intuition will be working well and your unconscious promptings will be nearer the surface but also you may be doing more mental work behind the scenes or pondering deeper issues.

THE SLOWER MOVING PLANETS:
Jupiter's new position will expand your world in positive ways over the next 12 months. You could be growing academically but also your mental horizons will broaden in other ways as you touch new areas of interest. You may be communicating across a wider stage. Through education, travel or hands-on personal experience, you are plunged into new ventures and activities which increase your understanding and give you the chance to share your knowledge and abilities with others from different backgrounds. Higher learning, teaching, unfamiliar environments, travel or long-distance contacts will be positively highlighted over this phase.

Saturn, in your area of material security until 2012 already has you looking to the future, planning ahead, taking stock of finances, possessions, physical space, comfort zone, or health. You'll have to be patient and work steadily and consistently to bring about an improved situation on these basic, physical levels. Feather your nest in advance as far as you can. Another aspect of this long transit is that you steadily develop your inborn assets, your gifts and talents which can become lucrative and generate more income as you apply them in in more effective and practical ways.

Uranus planet of sudden change has been shifting the balance in close relationships and evoking changes in your personal lifestyle over many years. Uranus is now in an area where more detachment regarding jointly held or controlled resources are concerned. There may be a sudden letting go of a previous relationship or lifestyle. Virgos born in the first week or with the first 7 degrees rising will be feeling the action of Uranus this month.

Neptune, in your opposite sign Pisces til August, will bring more empathy into your relationships and incline you to look for the best in people and make a real difference in their lives, but just make sure you don't fall into the trap of putting them on a pedestal and worshipping them.

Or over-play the martyr/saviour card......

This will affect the first 1-2 days of Virgo natives and two degrees of Virgo rising most over June.

For many years Pluto will be quietly but positively underpinning all your efforts to make the changes necessary to be more personally creative and live in a manner which is more self-empowering and true to yourself. Virgos born Aug 26th- Sept 2nd or with 3-8 degrees of Virgo rising will feel this vibration most over June.

From the 23rd there's a feeling of preparation and regeneration and you may be more inclined to get on with things behind the scenes, sort things out around you but also put your house in order on an inner level.

Phone Tarot Readings: Do THIS Before Calling a Telephone Tarot Reader (But Don't "OVER DO" It!)

Are you thinking about getting a phone tarot reading? Curious how much different the tarot is over the telephone, versus going to see someone face to face? Is it harder to read, interpret or position the cards? And what are the advantages of having a tarot reading done "blind"? (i.e. - with you NOT in the same room as the psychic, intuitive or clairvoyant doing the actual reading) If you are anything like I once was, and passionate about everything psychic, intuitive and just plain "cool" to explore, a tarot reading should be tops on your list of psychic experiences to have.

But for me, even after many really eye opening and enlightening readings, the idea of investing in a telephone tarot session seemed a little bit off of the realistic radar. Why? Because it was difficult for me to conceptualize how the tarot cards, being pulled WITHOUT my presence, could be as accurate as those that I "hand picked" in person.

Sound familiar? If it does... I'll tell you why I've learned the actual OPPOSITE is true, and why today, whenever possible... I PREFER to get psychic readings done by phone, and that includes the Tarot as well.

But first... the ONE thing you MUST do before calling a telephone tarot reader:

Do a little bit of due diligence. Read a few reviews. Look for continuity, and consistency in the networks, or individual intuitives you are choosing from. (I like to see a track record of 5 years of readings, and satisfied clients and callers... and if possible, a DECADE or more of continuous service)

But while I recommend you do your due diligence, you do NOT want to overdo it, either! I've met people, and have had folks who read our psychic blogs, who will spend WEEKS picking a psychic to call. What a WASTE of time! Why spend weeks in "analysis paralysis' when if you pick a tarot reader or psychic network who offers 100% money back guarantee's... you don't have to worry about risking a dime, if the reading is bad. (because they'll give you your money back right away as a matter of policy)

So DON'T over do the process of picking a psychic. Just dive in, and have fun!

Now... the reason I prefer phone readings for both Tarot, and traditional psychic sessions?

I find they are MUCH more authentic, pure and "real". I've had many tarot card readings in person, and I always feel just a tad uncomfortable. You can't tell if the reader is picking up body language information, or reading your reactions, or simply guessing based on your age, appearance and attitude. During a phone reading, because everything is "blind", there is a purity to the reading that is PALPABLE, and it's much easier to let your guard down and open up.

Ready to try one out for yourself? Do THIS when BEFORE your next tarot reading.

Set a small budget of 10-40 dollars. I don't care how good the reviews are, never invest a ton of money in a initial reading, until you are sure you are a good mutual match. (because personality, rapport and relationship between two people is KEY to a clairvoyant connection)

Write down a few questions that are MOST important to you before the reading begins. (I like to have 5 critical questions written down before the call begins... if I can get answers to 4 of them, I'm happy!)

Lighten UP and relax! This is another reason I prefer the phone. The truth is, so many people are so STRESSED about speaking to a psychic that the reading goes off the rails, and is no fun for anyone. Remember, this is supposed to be a positive experience, and a little levity and laughter and light heartedness will make the whole reading MUCH better, far more fun and a whole lot more memorable to boot!

WARNING: Do NOT Get "Snookered" by FAKE Psychic Readings Ever Again! Go HERE for an AMAZING Psychic Reading You WON'T Ever Forget! (100% Guaranteed!)

Valuable Rising Sign Information You Are Looking For

Do you wear a rising sign facade?

When the art/science of Astrology began, a Rising sign was viewed as more deciding than Sun sign. However, in the last hundred years, this thinking has been modified.

Some Astrologers write of an individual born in a specific Sign and they are talking about the Rising sign. A person says they are born a particular Sign and they are talking about their Sun sign.

Never mind what you know it as (Rising sign or Ascendant), this detail is an important part of your Birth chart. It's impossible to have a genuine Natal chart without working out your Ascendant sign.

Your Ascendant is of import, it shows how you prove your identity. Learning about your Ascendant sign also tells of who you naturally get along with.

What are Ascendants for anyway?

An Ascendant sign is the Sign that's rising on the Eastern horizon when you were born. You will demonstrate the traits of this astrological sign. Some other things that regulate your life are Planets under the East horizon.

Your Astrology sign is your life story. The region below the horizon is called the 1st House. Your Ascendant and the Planet in the 1st House, set up the way in which you respond to what happens in your life.

The Ascendant is a facade for you, it illustrates the way you present yourself on first meeting; the first imprint or feeling others get of you.

Your Ascendant is the sign that is your egoism, self-awareness and self-trust. Your Ascendant is your "view" of the world and how the world "interprets" you.

This is more true when your Ascendant zodiac sign is the same as your: Sun, Venus, Moon, Mars or Mercury.

Even if your Ascendant isn't the same sign that you have in these planets, it will still keep your Sun sign personality hidden for a time.

The strength of your Ascendant

Some astrologers say that your Ascendant sign is the personality that others encounter when meeting you for the first time. Your Ascendant sign points to your objectives, ambitions and your driving force.

Your Ascendant delineates things that occur in your life. Some of these situations, you may come across time and again, until fate (or whatever you call it) disciplines you to be ( react like) your Ascendant.

Your Ascendant isn't a complete portrayal of who you are. You need to study all Aspects of your Birthcart together to get the full portrayal.

The characteristics of each Rising sign is given on this page. If you need to check your Rising signs you can do so on this page.

Zodiac Sign - Pisces

Astrology has always been an interesting topic. Whether you follow it religiously, or read your horoscope for fun. There is a definite entertaining aspect to it. Although, even reading your sign as entertainment, there are some attributes that seem more than coincidental.

Pisces is the twelfth star sign. Symbolised by the two fish swimming in different directions. Pointing to devising a plan or proposal, only to go in the opposite direction. It also connotes a sort of tension between two ideas. It's almost like a Piscean is faced with two different cakes. Reaching for one cake initially, but ultimately eating the other.

Seen as a Mutable sign, Pisces is the bridge between the seasons of winter and spring. Moveable and malleable, being Mutable sees Pisces reflecting on options. Superficially unpredictable, when really Pisces is not. In wanting one thing, Pisces will switch over to the other option.

At first, Pisces was governed by Jupiter. Yet, since its discovery, Pisces has been overseen by Neptune. To Romans, Neptune was the God of the Sea. Idealism and compassion runs deep with Neptune, and with Pisces as a result. On the other side, deception, illusion and confusion riddle Neptune and Pisces. Sometimes seen with the notions of hypnotism. Like the first cake, before deciding on the better one.

Pisceans are seen as the poets of the Zodiac. Which is appropriate, seeing as poetry allows them to explore both directions of an idea. Poetry, or other forms of writing, permits Pisceans to explore their idealistic and very much escapist view of life and the world. Such as view is also seen as being its own downfall.

Pisces contains a downside, like anything else. Being an emotional star sign, those same emotions are wavering between two sides. As a water sign, Pisces has emotions that run as deep as a river. Alas, this allows room for empathy and understanding beyond comparisons. Behind the indecisiveness comes a deep emotional vein.

This leads into the fact that Pisces is a Water sign. Forever in constant flow, like water itself. Shifting from one spot to another. It is no wonder why Pisceans shift from one option to the opposite. After all, emotions are like water. Shifting all over the place. Pisces represents the essence of this.

With such emotion, is there any star sign that is compatible with Pisces? Of course. Although Pisceans need encouragement in their artistic endeavours, and whatnot. But other Water signs (Scorpio and Cancer) provide solace for them. Earth signs are also compatible with Pisces, for they ground the emotional fluidity.

To conclude, Pisces shows the conflict of two emotional choices. Whatever their choice, you know it is the right one. Seeming to be flaky, a Piscean has more hidden layers than ever perceived.

Astrology Forecast for July 2011 - General Tendencies for All Sun Signs

July is going to feel like a vacation compared to June. Yes, we will have a few ups an downs, but nothing like the conflicts we dealt with last month. Also, Jupiter and Pluto will be dancing together though the first half of July inspiring psychological growth and a renewed optimism.

July begins with a solar eclipse early on July 1st. We may be dealing with some losses, and we may be feeling rather tired as we begin our holiday weekend. But, our social life and our love for life should return by Sunday, July 3rd. Our July 4th holiday will be great for parties and friends, but don't get too excited. Some may say a few things they will regret.

We will be dealing we at least one major planetary aspect every day from July 4th through July 9th. The week after the holiday will be eventful, to say the least. There could be some upsets on Tuesday, July 5th, but our energy and our optimism will be high through July 7th. There could be problems with loved ones or unexpected accidents on Friday and Saturday, July 8th and 9th, but people will also be patient and ready to help.

Monday, July 11th, will be an excellent day for travel and conversations, but Tuesday and Wednesday, July 12th and 13th, could bring sarcasm from loved ones. The boss (or other authority figures) may also say some hurtful things. The Capricorn full Moon on Friday, July 15th, should set an ambitious tone. Thursday and Friday will be a great time for business ventures and getting some work done.

The week of July 17th may actually be boring. The planets will be calm and the Moon will be doing her usual thing all the way through the first day of Leo, July 23rd.

The week of July 25th may start off a little crazy and could become very exciting by Wednesday, July 27th. After all the boredom from last week, we could very well be ready for some intellectual, spiritual, and even juvenile stimulation. Changes may be happening faster than we'd like, and there could be some nasty gossip in the air on Thursday and Friday, July 28th and 29th.

The excitement will probably continue though the end of the month with Mercury turning retrograde on August 2nd and the planets starting a game of tag. Enjoy the peace and quiet this month, because August will be a much different story. Check back next month for all the details.

Success in Norse Astrology - The Role of Tyr

In Norse astrology, Tyr (represented by the planet Saturn) is one of three planets that indicate success or accomplishment in life. The other two planets are Freyr (Jupiter) and Thor (Mars). Tyr represents our sense of law and order, of how society should be structured. He signifies the demands society makes of us, and what we, in return, demand from society. More specifically, he shows the role of business, organizations, law, contracts, and government in our lives. Unlike, the Greco-Roman Saturn, Tyr does not represent limitation or constriction. While Saturn represents isolation, Tyr represents involvement with external organizations, and how they may assist us.

Because Tyr has an affinity with the Day West house of Norse astrology, we also look to that octant of the solar circle for the role of law, business, and other societal organizations in our accomplishments.

Of the Norse natal horoscopes that we discuss here, we see Tyr at his strongest in the charts of two heads of government: Angela Merkel, current Chancellor of Germany, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Governor of California. In Chancellor Merkel's chart, Tyr is in the pleasant and harmonious rune Wunjo, indicating ease when working within large bureaucracies. Tyr is close to the zenith, in the Day house, which indicates success within large organizations. Frigga (Venus), the planet of family, is in the Day West house, making her a mother-figure within Germany. A sextile of Frigga to Tyr emphasizes this identification. Ansuz, rune of magic, wind, and communication, is the primary rune in the Day West house, which gave her the power to gently break through barriers. This rune helped her transcend the barriers of a life in the DDR (East Germany), and made her the first female chancellor of Germany.

The Tyr of Governor Schwarzenegger is more dynamic. Here we find it in Thor's rune, Thurisaz, indicating powerful breakthroughs in business and government. Schwarzenegger, barely speaking English, emigrated from Austria to the USA, creating businesses, becoming an actor, and entering politics. Tyr is in conjunction with Freyja (Sun), making this involvement more individualistic and person-oriented. Tyr, however, is in the Night East house of family, which indicates a volatile mix of family and publicity, of domestic vs. public duties. Elhaz, rune of striving toward heaven, is in the Day West house, emphasizing his struggle for the best.

Another interesting placement is that of Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales. Here we find Tyr in Perthro, the most random and fickle of runes. This is an apt description of her position within the staid hierarchy of the British government and monarchy. Tyr was also in the East house, the house of self, so that she became identified with those very institutions. The feminine planets Frigga and Hel (southern declination of the Moon) emphasize her role as wife and mother in the royal family. Her Day West house contains both powerful Thor and disruptive Loki (Uranus), which encouraged her to willfully upset the establishment. Ansuz in the Day West house helps her artfully evade societal conventions.

An enlightening comparison can be made between actress Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Spencer. Like Spencer, Taylor's Tyr is not only in unpredictable Perthro, but also in the East house, with inspirational Ansuz again in the Day West house. But unlike Spencer's Tyr, Taylor's Tyr forms no aspects to other planets. As such, she never moved in the halls of government as did Spencer. True, Taylor married into politics (Senator John Warner), but she never took advantage of this position.
