Astrology is an ancient mathematical science, craft and art that has stood the test of time. This fascinating science is rich in information about the human experience; offering to the individual another way in which to view himself, as a spirit, taking on human form in order to go through many life experiences, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I am very pleased to have this opportunity to share some intriguing information about your life and your relationships. This information is very similar to the information I offer my astrology clients, as a foundation for their natal horoscope reading (visit my web site for more information about horoscope readings, Saturn cycles, compatibility, astrology gifts and my background).

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!
