Astro Window & Chasing The Moon

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).

Lesson 10

Anything that has a beginning has a natal horoscope: a human, an animal, a country, a state, a relationship, an event and even an idea. A natal horoscope reveals, what is promised (life experiences), for that particular moment in time, date and place. Astrology is focused on man’s relationship to the universe, as well as, his energy, energy patterns and cycles. A natal horoscope can attract certain energies, events, life experiences and individuals in order to fulfill the requirements of the natal horoscope. The universe works perfectly, there are no accidents, mistakes or coincidens; in November of 2008, two important events occurred, the U.S. people elected a new president and the planet Pluto, a planet that brings major change and transformation, healing, renewal and regeneration, moved into the sign of Capricorn. When a planet transits a zodiac sign, it brings energy and activity to those issues relegated to that particular sign, as well as, its opposite sign, in this case, Cancer. The sign of Capricorn has rulership over: government, authority figures, the professional, the corporate world, parents and older individuals; in addition, things that are old, history, tradition, patriotism, high standards, structure, respect, discipline, proper conduct and integrity. The opposite sign, Cancer has rulership over: family, home, the domestic scene, homeland, motherhood, infants, woman, agriculture, real-estate, nurturing, ones roots and emotional foundation. The planet Pluto came from the sign Sagittarius, a mutable sign interested in learning, collecting and understanding information. This powerful planet is now in a cardinal sign, thus indicating to take action, to utilize and apply the information that we have collected for the past twelve years (Pluto in Sagittarius): set goals, work hard, be honorable and responsible.

___________________________________________________________________

In a horoscope there are four quadrants; each quadrant having three houses. Currently, the last quadrant (houses 10, 11, 12) all contain planetary activity; the planet Uranus is in the sign of Pisces, the planets Neptune and Jupiter are in the sign of Aquarius, and last, Pluto is now in the sign of Capricorn. This fourth quadrant represents: duty, responsibility, social consciousness, community, organization, friendships, advanced technology, tolerance, service, compassion, the creative arts, self sacrifice and spirituality.

____________________________________________________________________

Aquarius is the eleventh sign of the zodiac and it is ruled by the planets Uranus and Saturn. This fixed-air sign is focused on seeking truth and sharing knowledge. Since the Aquarius is fixed, it tends to be loyal, persistent and determined. The air element indicates a focus on the mental plane; thoughts concepts and ideas. This unconventional, progressive sign rules: friends, groups, organizations and community. It is also associated with “that which is different” or unique, advanced technology, aviation, electricity, emotional detachment, surprises and humanitarianism. The opposite sign of Aquarius is Leo, it rules the fifth house and its ruing planet is the Sun, the most significant heavenly body in the universe. Leo is associated with ego, pride, self expression, creativity, career, children, celebrity, entertainment and speculation. This romantic sign represents the leader, the executive; one who has a flair for the dramatic and grandiose ideas. In the sign Leo we learn about acceptance and unconditional love. Being a fire sign, Leo symbolizes spirit, high energy, great enthusiasm and physical activity. Opposite signs have a strong attraction for one another; both Oprah and Abraham Lincoln have an Aquarius sun sign. This might be one of the reasons why Oprah was so enamored with Mr. Obama and Mr. Obama is so fascinated with President Lincoln.

Assignment 23
Study the two zodiac signs that have your sun sign element.

ELEMENTS
The twelve zodiac signs are divided into four groups according to their life experience (Look at lesson 9). Here is an example of how there different elements work:

There are four individuals; each representing a different element. The fire sign jumps up and yells out enthusiastically, “I’m starving, let’s get something to eat!” The earth sign focusing on the details and practical concerns would say, “How much money are we going to spend, whose car will we use?” The air sign focusing on ideas and possibilities might say, “Well, we could cook something at home, have take-out or try that new restaurant.” And last, the water sign, working on the emotional plane, might say, “I don’t know what I feel like eating, perhaps some seafood”.

Assignment 24
The sign Sagittarius is called a “double sign”, because its astrological symbol is a creature that is half man and half horse. Find out the other three zodiac signs that also have a double connotation.

Assignment 25
The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars are called personal planets. The planets Jupiter and Saturn are called business or societal planets. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are referred to as generational or transcendental planets. Saturn is the last visible planet in the heaven; it teaches us the hard lessons of life. Either use an empty horoscope wheel or just make a column, numbered from one to twelve. Put your sun sign at number one or on the ascendant of the chart. List the rest of the zodiac in their proper order. When you get to the sign of Virgo, write in the word Saturn. Observe the house number and its correlating sign.

IN THE NEWS
In the fall of 2008, the U.S. Congress gave the banking establishments a substantial amount of money with the thought that the banks would be more inclined to start lending money, but this did not happen. Just knowing the consciousness of each zodiac sign is a good beginning to understand what is occurring in the world. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and has a lot to do with money. This sign has rulership of the banker. Taurus “takes”, its function is to acquire. This sign is cautious, wants a return for its investment; however one of the spiritual lesson for the sign Taurus is to be generous with his possessions. This is a good lesson for each of us. Do what you sun sign indicates; to take action, to be cautious and stay put or to be flexible and seek more information. A prior administration instructed the bankers to relax their lending practices with regards to home mortgages and look what happened.
