We feel that Astrology can be used as a powerful and fun tool for understanding ourselves, others, and the world around us. We use many different tools, or languages, to define and understand our world. For example, we can use psychological tools and terminology to explore human behavior. Similarly, Astrology gives us rich tools for understanding human character, and offers us a language for communicating our observations with others.
What's Your Sign?
When a person asks your "sign", even if they don't know it, they are referring to your Sun Sign, which is the zodiacal sign position of the Sun at the time of your birth.
Sun Sign Astrology gets a lot of press. However, with a little thought, it is rather intuitive to feel that dividing the entire human population into only 12 categories (the 12 Sun Signs) is far too simplistic. The truth is, every individual on this planet is complex.
While the sign position of the Sun is meaningful, there is much more to Astrology than just the Sun. In fact, Astrology is just as delightfully (and sometimes maddeningly!) complex as people themselves. Besides the sign of the Sun, each person has a Moon sign, Mercury sign, Venus sign, Mars sign, and so forth. Furthermore, each of the planets and luminaries fall in particular houses (there are 12 in all) in their birth charts (also called natal charts). Character is also believed to be influenced by the relationships the planets, luminaries, and points have with each other.
Fortunately, learning Astrology can be a fun and rewarding endeavor, especially for those with a strong interest in learning more about themselves, others, and their lives. Beginning students of Astrology can take the learning process one step at a time, perhaps starting with the Sun Signs, moving on to a study of the Moon, and so forth. The wonderful reward for this step-by-step approach is the gradual unfolding of your own chart and the charts of those you love!
Strange News
Your
Astrological Sign May Not Be What
You Think It Is
The 13th sign of the zodiac, unlike
the other 12 signs is actually
associated with a real person. In
the 27th Century BCE in Ancient
Egypt lived a man known as Imhotep.
Imhotep was known as ‘Aesclepius’ by
the Ancient Greeks, however the
attributes are the same under either
name.
One of Imhoteps abilities was
healing and it is said that it was
he who introduced it to mankind. His
accomplishments also included a wide
knowledge of medicine. The serpent
or snake symbol which is still used
today to symbolize the medical
profession was also used to
represent Imhotep. Below is a list
of attributes associated with the
Serpent Holder, Imhotep i.e
Aesclepius. The descriptions below
are associated with the 13th sign -
Ophiuchus.
Many people are envious of this
subject as he progresses well
throughout life.
A seeker of wisdom and knowledge
Many people are jealous of this
person
Tends to go for the more
flamboyant in dress sense,
favouring bright colours.
Authority looks upon him well.
Would make a great architect or
builder.
Number 12 is this persons lucky
number.
This person will have a big
family but leave home at an
early age.
This is the Zodiac as some
astrologers believe it should be:
ARIES = APRIL 19 - MAY 13
TAURUS = MAY 14 - JUNE 19
GEMINI = JUNE 20 - JULY 20
CANCER = JULY 21 - AUG 9 LEO =
AUGUST 10 - SEPTEMBER 15 VIRGO
= SEPTEMBER 16 - OCTOBER 30
LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 22
SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 - NOVEMBER 29
OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER
17 SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 -
JANUARY 18 CAPRICORN = JANUARY
19 - FEBRUARY 15 AQUARIUS =
FEBRUARY 16 - MARCH 11 PISCES =
MARCH 12 - APRIL 18
I’m not sure myself about the
qualities of that of Ophiucus, but
perhaps if you mix Scorpio with
Sagittarius you may come up with
something along the right lines. |
