Lesson 8

The Sun highlights the zodiac sign of Capricorn, approximately between December 21st and January 19th. The sign Capricorn is primarily focused on: goals, achievements, success, career, social position, rules, standards, reputation, responsibility, duty, commitment and hard work; in addition, parents, authority, government, public officials, business and the corporate world. The opposite sign of Capricorn is Cancer, a sign primarily focused on: the home, the domestic scene, mother, family, traditions, ancestors, emotional foundation, the proverbial “nest egg”, women, infants, food, feelings and real estate. Both the Capricorn and the Cancer are concerned with security; the Capricorn with his security out in the world, the Cancer with his inner security. The Capricorn-Cancer polarity is working on, amongst other things, balancing the need for privacy with the need to be acknowledged for accomplishments in the outer world. The sign Capricorn represents a collective consciousness that has a serious attitude towards life; one that is realistic, practical, ambitious and austere. The sign Cancer is one of sensitivity, responsiveness, nurturing and intuition.

Assignment 18
Read up on the signs Capricorn and Cancer. Find out the Sun sign of the US president, Mr. George Bush and the former president, Mr. Richard Nixon.

Any planet that opposes another sign and or planet, brings about; either, awareness, a conflict or a decision. In 2007 the planet Jupiter entered into the sign of Capricorn, thus highlighting those life issues and experiences associated with Capricorn, as well as, the opposite sign of Cancer. The US has a Cancer Sun sign (July 4, 1776). Jupiter represents a type of energy that increases and expands. A zodiac sign that is located directly behind another sign always represents the past; Jupiter came from the previous sign of Sagittarius, a sign associated with risk taking, total freedom and excess. The sign Sagittarius says, “Eat, drink and be merry”. Now that Jupiter is in the sign of Capricorn, a sign that says, “There is no free lunch”, the American people are becoming aware of the consequences of over indulgence. Americans are in a conflict with their government over the wastefulness, over regulations and over taxation. The people of the US are now making decisions regarding their homes, credit cards, loans, eating out, vacations, the use of gasoline and the type of individual they want to lead the country. In January 2008, Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn and will remain there until 2024, except for a retrograde back into the sign Sagittarius between the periods of June 08-November 08. Pluto’s energy is one of great intensity; frequently, associated with economics. Pluto is demanding that the US and its people reexamine their values.

Lesson 7 Get out your notebooks

COME, VIEW YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE

So, you got caught-up in the excitement of the holidays and forgot, what the planet Saturn (focuses on our life lessons), was trying to teach you (revise out-dated systems, become more efficient, address your health issues, pay attention to details, start a diet and a exercise program, organize your important papers, review your financial budget) and in general, get yourself and your life in “good working” order. Well, I have some good news for you; on December 20, 2007, Saturn went RETROGRADE. This is an illusionary motion; however, it is very significant. When a planet goes retrograde, it is saying, stop, wait, let’s go back and let’s review or rethink something over (a good time to keep your eyes and ears open for information). What a retrograde planet is doing is going back over previous degrees. All planets go retrograde, from time to time, except the Sun and the Moon. In 2007, Saturn went retrograde at 8 degrees of Virgo and will continue this motion until it reaches 1 degree of Virgo in May 2008 (1 degree of any sign represents a new beginning). Make the most of this second chance. For the last few years, Saturn was transiting the sign of Leo, a sign associated with: creative expression, children, love, romance, pets, entertainment and investments.

Assignment 14

Saturn has a lot to do with “responding to ones abilities”, in other words, responsibilities.

Make two lists; one stating the areas of your life in which you have been successful in meeting your “rightful” responsibilities, and a second list, stating the areas in which there is need for work and improvement.

The planet Saturn also represents focalization, commitment, convention, society, hard work, a serious attitude, reality, austerity, consolidation, as well as, authority and authority figures; such as, parents, clergy, teachers, counselors, coaches, physicians, bosses, commanders, law officials, as well as, elected public officials. As one matures (a function of Saturn), we take back our authority and make decisions for ourselves and for our lives. In the United States (a government by the people and for the people); however the American people, through the years have given up their authority to their elected officials (local, state and federal governments). The fruit of revolution is becoming “ripe”. If the American people desire a major change (a responsive government that is efficient, productive and NOT WASTEFUL); it won’t be enough to just elect a president. What is called for is BOLD ACTION and COURAGE on the part of each individual voter; vote out all incumbents running for reelection in November 2008, no matter what political party or if the individual performed his duties well. This will certainly send a message to our legislators. Let November 4, 2008 be the month, day and year that the American people TAKE BACK THEIR AUTHORITY AND POWER.

Assignment 15

Planets that have a slow motion and remain in a particular zodiac sign for long periods of time represent a shifting in mass consciousness.

Find out, in what zodiac signs, the planets Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn were in, on January 1, 2008.

An excellent source for this information is an astrological calendar; one of my favorites is the CELESTIAL INFLUENCES calendar.

Assignment 16

Once again, let’s look at the polarity of the signs Taurus and Scorpio. Rent the movies, WALL STREET and THE WAR OF THE ROSES, both with Michael Douglas. List the Taurus and Scorpio issues that are highlighted in these movies.

Assignment 17

Think about where your consciousness lies; the past, the present or the future, also think about the season in which you were born.

Both the planets Jupiter and Pluto will enter the sign of Capricorn, a major shift of consciousness.

COME, VIEW YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE

SATURN IN VIRGO

Astrology provides the individual with “advance knowledge” about his life experiences; on Sept. 3^rd, the planet Saturn will enter the zodiac sign of Virgo and will remain in this sign until July 2010. When a planet, any planet, transits a sign, it brings in energy resulting in activity and focalization of the areas, issues and people associated with that particular sign. For the sign Virgo, I would like you to consider two words, MAINTENANCE and SERVICE. You have 2 ½ years in which to focus on and improve your health (have a medical and dental check-up, start a exercise program, begin a healthy diet etc.), break bad habits and cultivate some good ones, repair or replace your old or worn out possessions: wardrobe, home, office equipment, car etc., up date and review important documents, look over investments and financial budgets. This is also a time to clean out your medicine cabinet, closets, kitchen cupboards, basement etc., in other words, get yourself and your life IN ORDER. Each planet has its own type of energy; Saturn represents the authority, the task master, not unlike the teacher who demands excellence from his students, “Do it over, until you do it right”. For some individuals, this Saturn period may be difficult; however, whether it is business, government or the individual, Saturn in the sign Virgo teaches time management, discipline, organization and efficiency. Pay attention to small details; read labels, the fine print and don’t forget to ask questions. It is important to learn from this Saturn transit, since the sign Virgo represents the last of the subjective signs; in order to move to the next sign, Libra (dealing with relationships), one must first master his own life (earning a living, paying bills, washing clothes, cleaning house, maintaining ones health and addressing all of the issues associated with the daily routines of living). In order to enter into a healthy relationship, one should have “the proper” relationship to himself. Read about the Saturn cycles on the www.astrowindow.com. The sign Virgo has a lot to do with purification; body, mind and spirit. This is a time when our government will face issues regarding: immigration and employment, health conditions of the work environment and maintenance of inter structure.

With regard to SERVICE, each of us are teachers, as well as, students. Share your knowledge interests and talents with others; volunteer in your community, work with animal rescue groups, children, senior citizens and the homeless. Some other areas associated with the sign Virgo are: analyzing information, work, systems, schedules, mathematics, cleanliness, food preparation, matters of employment, natural therapies, foods and products, farming and animal breeding, also scientists, aunts and uncles, teachers, craft people, secretaries, coworkers and those who give service to others. During this Saturn period encourage individuals to do their best and avoid being critical, also remember to voice your appreciation to those who do you a favor or give you help. Have you ever noticed that at the end of August, there is a shift of consciousness? This is a time when people are starting to focus on getting back to a regular routine and children are preparing for school. Yearly, the Sun transits the zodiac sign Virgo for about 30 days; those who are born between August 24-September 23, are said to have a Virgo sun sign.

Assignment 13

Make a list of what you want to improve or accomplish in the next 2 ½ years.

Review of assignment 12

One way to achieve harmony and balance within oneself is to look at the polarities of the twelve zodiac signs.

Taurus Scorpio

Monetary values Spiritual values

Personal finances Joint finances
Sensual Sexual

Grounded Emotionally intense

Wants stability Wants change

Review of assignment 11

The humorous movie “Cold Turkey” is a good illustration of Pluto’s power of transformation. The residents of a small mid west town agree to give up smoking cigarettes in order to win a prize of one million dollars for their financially strapped town. Through the will, determination and perseverance of the residents, the sleepy town was transformed into a thriving industrial community.

Review of assignment 10

Between 1984-1995, the planet Pluto was transiting the sign Scorpio. If you remember, this was a time when Aids was in the forefront; also this was a time when the stock market had a major correction. People were forced to reassess their sexual attitudes and behaviors, also individuals were forced to become more knowledgeable and involved with their financial investments. Through pain, loss and discomfort, the mass consciousness was transformed.

There are 30 degrees in each of the twelve zodiac signs. The 30 degrees of each sign are divided into three equal sections or DECANTS. When a planet enters a sign and is in the first 10 degrees or first decant; issues or problems associated with that particular sign are highlighted. When the planet moves into the second decant; there is an awareness of these issues and a desire to deal with them. In the last decant, these issues are being addressed and hopefully, resolved.

Since 1995, the planet Pluto, which brings about drastic changes, has been transiting the sign Sagittarius, a sign associated with: freedom, higher education, foreign affairs, communications, travel, religious beliefs, cultural attitudes, prejudice, judgment and the judicial system. Pluto is now in the last degrees of the sign Sagittarius; what changes have you observed with regards to the issues of the sign Sagittarius?

Put a smile on your face; rent the old movie “Cold Turkey” with Dick Van Dyke. This story is an excellent example of Pluto’s powerful transforming energies.

Review of Assignment 8

Venus is the ruling planet for the sign Taurus, as well as, the sign Libra; however the planet takes on a different connotation when associated with each of these signs. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and is concerned with the material world: personal finances, artistic expression, values, self esteem, material possessions, business and earthly pleasures. The Taurus is practical, patient and persistent, determined, “down to earth”, sensual, stable, affectionate and very loyal.

Assignment 12

Each of the twelve zodiac signs has their own polarity or opposite sign; for the sign Taurus, it is the sign Scorpio. Opposite signs focus on similar issues; however each sign views there issues from a different perspective. The two opposite signs in conjunction with one another present a BALANCED point of view.

Read up and compare the sign Taurus to the sign Scorpio.

The celestial science of astrology is primarily concerned with ten heavenly bodies, their relationships to each other, their cycles and their connection with humanity. Each planet has its own particular motion, the slowest being that of the planet Pluto. In astrology, the slower moving planets, like Pluto, are called “generational” planets, since groups of people were born having the same planets in the same zodiac signs; thus denoting similar attitudes, experiences and life lesson for a particular generation. When a planet transits a zodiac sign, it activates or highlights the issues associated with that sign, as well as, brings with it the energies and issues from the sign it rules; in the case of Pluto, it is the sign Scorpio. Pluto has a transforming energy; one that brings about drastic changes in one’s life (never more to be the same again). Astrology is rich in symbolism; Pluto represents masses of people, the zodiac sign it is transiting represents the consciousness or focus of these groups of people.

In November of 1995, Pluto entered the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, a sign that is associated with “total” freedom, to do, to say and to think as one pleases. This sign is highly optimistic, mentally and physically active, looks to the future, takes risks, is restless and always on the go, tends to be excessive, over extends and scatters his energies, prefers casual living and loose fitting clothes. This sign is also associated with higher education, large scale media, long distance travel and communications, foreign affairs, the judicial system, athletics, wildlife, religion, philosophy, judgment, ethics, bias, prejudices and cultural beliefs. Pluto in the sign Sagittarius has highlighted the need for moderation, sensitivity and consideration for others. Some other issues highlighted in the past several years have been: immigration, resolving conflicts with other countries, sexual abuse in the church, unethical practices in business and government, masses of death from natural disasters, the influential role of the news media, the importance of professional sports and last, the rude behavior and ill manners of the general public.

Review of assignment 7-Blog 3
The movie The Godfather is a good illustration of the dark side of the sign Scorpio; dealing with strong emotions and passion, lust, jealousy, hatred, revenge, betrayal and even murder. However, in the movie Resurrection, the higher expression is shown; one of healing rebirth and renewal.

Remember, everyone has the choice, either to use his energies positively or negatively.

The primary tool of the astrologer is a horoscope; a chart of the heavens showing the locations of
the transiting planets in reference to the twelve zodiac signs. There are many different types of horoscopes; however, the most important, is the natal. Through mathematical calculations, the astrologer erects a natal
horoscope, based upon an individual’s time, date and place of birth (This was a
common practice in ancient times when a royal birth occurred).

The horoscope looks like a wheel divided into twelve wedged shaped sections or houses. Each section or house represents a particular area of life. Inside the chart there are numerous numbers, degrees and astrological symbols scattered throughout, all having significant meaning. The premise in astrology is, “As above, so below”; the planets represent energies, and are reflective of our own energies, the zodiac signs reveal how these energies will be utilized and last, the houses show where these energies will be activated. Each sign has its own ruling planet and has dominion over a specific area of life.

Assignment 6

Read-up and get acquainted with your zodiac sun sign, its ruling planet and house. An excellent reference is The Rulership Book by Rex E. Bills

______________________________________________________________________
The planetary rulers of the sign Scorpio and of the eighth house are Mars and Pluto. Pluto symbolizes a transforming energy; one that develops, eliminates, regenerates and brings in physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual change; never more to be the same again. It is important to note, that energy can be used positively or negatively; it is up to the individual to decide, how he wants to use his energies. Some examples of Pluto’s powerful transformative energies are: the trees in autumn shedding their leaves, a lizard that regenerates its severed tail, a person who regains his health after a long illness, an urban renewal or redevelopment, a drastic change in a person’s appearance, attitude, behavior or life circumstance, and last, the ultimate transformation; when a person dies and returns to his spiritual form. The sign Scorpio, the eight house and the planet Pluto are associated with joint finances and resources, research, investigation, healing, sex, secrets, surgery, power, death and rebirth, the occult, the metaphysical, magic and reinvention; also intense feelings, emotions and passions; such as trust, betrayal, jealousy, possessiveness, control, manipulation, resentment, revenge, lust, hatred, guilt and forgiveness.

* When you were born, Pluto was in a particular zodiac sign and transiting one of your natal houses, not necessarily the eight. Where the planet Pluto is located in your natal chart reveals in what area of life you will experience major changes or a shift in consciousness.

Review of assignment 5

Several Scorpio issues are highlighted in the classic movie, “Now Voyager” with Betty Davis (manipulation sex, secrets, inheritance, control, guilt, forgiveness and transformation). The story takes place in the 1940’s, where Betty plays a dowdy spinster living with her wealthy domineering mother. In her late 30’s, Betty has a nervous breakdown because of her over controlling mother. She goes to a sanitarium where a psychiatrist helps her to understand the dynamics of her relationship with her mother and to help her regain her self identity and authority. Betty has a major transformation, beginning with her physical appearance and later in the movie, when she is no longer afraid and has the courage to stand up to her mother’s tyranny. What an inspirational movie!

Lesson 2 Get out your notebooks
Astrology is a science that is full of symbolism; the sun, moon and planets all represent different types of energies. Being spiritual beings, we are all made-up of energy, energy patterns and cycles. In a horoscope, there are basically two types of energy patterns, harmonious and inharmonious. Harmonious energy patterns (denoting the positive expression of energy) represent an ease or flow, an opportunity, a talent or ability, while the inharmonious energy patterns (denoting the negative expression of energy) represent challenges, obstacles and life lessons, thus providing the individual with the opportunity to learn, grow and spiritually evolve. The role of the astrologer is to help his client better understand himself, his relationships and life issues.

ASSIGNMENTS FROM BLOG ONE REVIEWED
Assignment 1 Each of us is made-up of two entities; the outer self or personality and the inner self or soul. The job of the personality is to become more conscious and to integrate with his higher self. The personality may find fault with his parents and/or his early childhood, however his soul does not, since the soul is the one who chose the circumstances of birth, the parents, the location (country), the year, day and the time of birth, all for the express purpose of providing the personality with an ancestral lineage of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual traits. The purpose of the family unit is to pass on to the individual his attitudes, beliefs, behavior patterns, character traits and most importantly, his emotional foundation. By becoming conscious of his family’s negative energy patterns and by not repeating these behaviors, the individual can change the direction of the family’s future history. So, can you be angry at your parents, if YOU were the one who chose them?

Assignment 2

In astrology, the spiritual journey begins with the individual’s Sun Sign, its placement in the natal horoscope, its zodiac sign and its relationship to the other planets. The planets including the Sun and the moon represent different types of energies. The Sun represents: the self, the ego, the will, the consciousness, the focus in life, the drive for significance and most importantly, the spiritual purpose for this incarnation.

Assignment 3

There are many reasons why people enter our lives; such as, to help us during a difficult period in our lives or to support us in some endeavor. However, the main reason is to act as a mirror, in order to reflect our strengths and weaknesses. Isn’t it funny, how individuals can see faults in others but not in themselves? Each of the twelve zodiac signs has their own particular qualities. Read about those signs that are most prevalent in your life. Figure out what qualities you need to develop or let go of; for instance, do you need to let go of resentment, learn self control or need to become more forgiving?

Assignment 4

In a horoscope, the moon represents the past, the rising sign or ascendant, the present and the sun, the future. A simple and easy way to fulfill the spiritual purpose for this lifetime is to let go of the negative expression of the moon’s zodiac sign and/or the sign on your natal fourth house cusp. Next using the positive expression of your rising sign, cultivate the qualities of your zodiac sun sign.

Assignment 5
Rent the classic movie “Now Voyager” with Betty Davis. Observe the dynamics of the family unit, the life issues and lessons of the characters. Also, read about the sign Scorpio and the planet Pluto.

In ancient times, it was observed that those born around the same time of the year shared similar attitudes, behaviors and characteristics. These similarities were grouped into twelve divisions or signs. The twelve signs together, make-up what is known as the zodiac. The tool of the astrologer is a horoscope; a chart of the heavens at a specific time, date and place. The horoscope looks like a circle with twelve pi-shaped sections or houses, representing different areas of life. Through various calculations, the astrologer places degrees and planetary symbols (representing different kinds of energies) in the appropriate houses, thus showing where an individual will place his focus and energies. So, what is the significance of a horoscope? This map of the heavens represents the soul’s plan or agenda for this particular reincarnation (a popular belief of ¾ of the world’s population). Years ago, the singing group, “The Police”, summed it up best, in one of their recordings, entitled “We Are Spirits in a Material World”. The material world is just an illusion; we are all spiritual beings; made up of energy, energy patterns and cycles. The purpose of life is to evolve our consciousness and to learn how to use our energies more constructively. Events that occur outside of our physical bodies are merely symbols for what is happening inside of us, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. For instance, when a person is frustrated, he is more likely to injure himself or have an accident, thus showing the physical manifestation of his internal frustration
