12 Zodiac Constellations The pictures in the night sky have fascinated humans since the beginning. So what are the key constellations and earliest explanation for them? The twelve most popular constellations are Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and Leo. Contrary to popular belief, there are actually 13 Constellations of the Zodiac, according to the astronomical definition of constellations. so the 13th is Ophinuchus. 12 Zodiac Constellations    The science of astronomy is the study of the stars, but most people commonly learn about constellations through astrology – the science (or art) of telling a person’s future. What are Constellations? Constellations are a specific arrangement or pattern of stars seen in the night sky. They are best described as star pictures, arranged around three specific brightest stars within the picture. It is generally agreed that there are eighty-eight constellations within a specifi...

Mind & Soul What’s your secret desire If you could have one wish in life, what would it be? I don’t mean the obvious things like winning the lotto, a great new body or the romance of the century. Maybe you would wish for those things, and maybe they would bring you a temporary high. But most of us know, deep down inside, that finding lasting happiness is bit more complex than that. What wish, if fulfilled, would give you the inner peace and contentment that comes from knowing you have experienced the best life has to offer? Astrology teaches us that such peace comes from fulfilling our deepest potentials. The twelve signs of the zodiac are energies that encompass all of human experience. Each one focuses on a way to approach or experience life. In other words, each sign has a “secret desire” that it wants to fulfill. When you look at your birth chart, you will see that you have each one of these signs somewhere. These “secret desires” are human needs that we all experience — and ne...

The Karmic Moon — Cycles of Incarnation Whenever you gaze up at the night sky, you are looking into the past. The light you see took anywhere from seconds to millions of years to reach the earth. The Karmic Moon Your birth chart also reflects the patterns of your past. In this way, it reveals your karmic destiny for this life. The moon has always drawn the fascinated interest of humankind, both in the sky and in the birth chart. This is because the moon leads us back to the very roots of our being. It shows us our past, the deeply buried subconscious patterns that direct our lives. Understanding these patterns and consciously dealing with them is one of the keys to spiritual freedom and growth in this life. The Karmic Moon To study the karmic moon in your birth chart, you will need to look at several factors. First of all, of course, consider the moon in its sign and house. For a discussion of how to delineate this combination, please refer to my previous articles where I discuss the k...

The Astrological Eighth House In my last article we had a look at the symbolism related to the seventh house. In a nutshell, the indicators in this house represent the marriage or business partner and our ability to get along with others in general (on a one-to-one basis). As we move from the seventh house where a formal marriage or business partnership has begun and move into the eighth house, we begin to develop our one-on-one relationship skills a bit further. As part of this transition into a deeper relationship, most couples have to contend with learning to compromise in many different ways. Examples of this include the need to agree on how joint finances should be spent, invested or saved; should children be physically punished or not?; deciding how to spend important occasions such as Christmas – your family or your partner’s, or both? This house is associated with Scorpio and Pluto (associated with sex, transformation, death, rebirth and psychotherapy) so if we extend the conc...

The Ascendant/First House self, body, health, temperament, vitality. Sign : Aries Element: Fire Natural Ruler: Mars This house represents the beginning or start of a person or event – depending on the type of astrology being applied. For this article we will look at the meaning of the First House from a person’s point of view. The Ascendant/First House The First House represents the first moment of life as an individual, usually taken to mean the moment a child begins breathing on its’ own (although opinions do vary). In the case of premature or caesarian births the same holds true – the birth chart is drawn for when the child is actually born, not for when it was expected. If the time of birth is unknown there are various astrological techniques available either to work out the time of birth (rectification) or to draw up the birth chart using alternative techniques such as the solar chart method. The Ascendant/First House Anyway, back to the symbolism of the First House. Since it re...

The Astrological Fourth House The Astrological Fourth House It’s been a while since we had a look at the Houses so I thought we’d better have a look at the next one – the 4 th House. We’ve had a look at the first three houses and how they can be interpreted both individually and as part of a developmental cycle. If the First House represents the beginning of the individual: the Second House as becoming aware of ‘separateness’, and the Third House as trying to ‘connect’ to what is around in a mental sense, then the Fourth House can represent the need to consolidate all that has been collected through the previous houses and to begin the process of forming the identity. The symbolism seen in the Fourth House describes whether the individual felt supported or not in developing their basic personality structure. Since this process occurs during the early, preliterate years of life many people do not consciously remember important milestones that affected them during this time – that’s on...

Astrology and the Bible I recently interviewed Lori via e-mail about her views on astrology and the Bible. Here are some of my questions and her answers. Q. What experience or education have you had in astrology? I started studying astrology about 30 years ago and studied it for about 10 years, doing charts for family and friends with a major focus on studying earthquakes. I was about two lessons away from getting my license as a practicing astrologer when the Lord got my attention instead, and I became a Christian. I was told that astrology was condemned in the Bible and thus, being a typical Moon in Cancer type (act now–repent at leisure), I burned all my books and research and never touched it again until this last February when I came back to it. However, I didn’t burn them because astrology didn’t work. I burned them because it did. I then spent the last 20 years studying Bible doctrine instead. This has now given me the rare ability to see this issue from both sides of the fence....

Haven’t Got Your Time of Birth? How can I find out what time I was born? Many people panic when they realise that a professional astrologer needs an accurate time of birth to draw up a detailed and precise birth chart because they don’t have this information for various reasons. The time of birth is important when looking at your detailed forecast because it affects the position of the Moon and the position of your ‘Houses’. It also affects the majority of the other bits and pieces of your chart but not as much as those first mentioned. The most common reasons that people don’t have their time of birth include: parent’s don’t remember or have passed away; they were born at home and there is no written record; or the records have been destroyed through fire, flood, etc. If you have not had any luck with getting your birth details through your parents or other family members then you could try sorting through your baby photos, albums or other memorabilia on the odd chance that a time of ...

3rd house astrology – The Astrological Third House The symbolism of this House is often associated with the field of communication, the environment, siblings, relatives, neighbours, intellectual interests, early education, perception and speech, books, magazines, letters, publications and short journeys – phew! 3rd house Although the symbolism may seem a little disjointed at first glance, and can be difficult to understand why these areas of life should be linked or represented by the same house, it does make sense once you begin to explore the reasoning behind the symbolism. 3rd house If we see the First House as representing the moment of birth and the beginning of the individual, then the Second House can be viewed as the process of becoming aware of being a separate entity (ie, an awareness of being separate from the mother or primary caregiver). Although it may not seem significant to an adult I feel that the process of becoming separate for the first time would have been monument...

The Astrological Ninth House The Astrological Ninth House What is the ninth house in astrology? In comparison to the previous house, the ninth house is relatively easy to handle – emotionally speaking! As we move from the eighth house to the ninth house symbolism we have the opportunity to put our past experiences into perspective and to gain a better understanding of where they fit in to the big picture of our lives. Before we look at the ninth house, it may be helpful to review the meaning of the previous one – the eighth house. Some of the themes associated with the eighth house include sex, transformation, death, rebirth and psychotherapy – basically any situation that requires us to dig deep within ourselves to ‘survive’ intense life situations. Another way to look at the ninth house is in contrast to the opposite third house where logic, everyday thinking and local travel are represented. Through the ninth house the mind broadens into a more intuitive and symbolic expression ...

5th house-The Astrological Fifth House   Welcome to the 5th house- Fifth House ! This part of the chart is traditionally associated with fun, love, creativity, your own children and what type of activity you like to be involved in as a hobby. It also symbolises games of chance such as lotto, bingo, competitions, etc. Before looking at the Fifth House, I’ll briefly recap the others we have explored. 5th house First House represents the beginning of the individual: the Second House as becoming aware of ‘separateness’, and the Third House as trying to ‘connect’ to what is around in a mental sense, then the Fourth House can represent the need to consolidate all that has been collected through the previous houses and to begin the process of forming the identity. 5th house Following on from the Fourth House where we formed our basic personality structure, we move on to the Fifth House to begin enjoying our newfound identity, and to allow others to appreciate it too. We now know that ...

12th House — The Doorway to Your Secret Past On a deeper level, Aries on your 12th house cusp indicates that you need to get in touch with your warrior within. Whether from past lives or subconscious conditioning, you have a strong need to express who you are — the Aries need to manifest its energy on a concrete level. Other factors in your chart may cause you to deny this need, but it is still there and may erupt in unexpected ways. After considering the sign on the cusp, look to see where the ruler of that sign is located in your chart. If Mars is in your 5th house, you may have been a fighter in some creative field, or fought for children’s rights in a past life. If Mars is in your 6th house, you may have fought disease in a laboratory or been a nurse on a battlefield. Next you will want to look at any planets in your 12th house. These represent past life or subconscious energies that have a major impact on your life today. You may experience difficulty expressing the energy of the...

6th house-The Astrological Sixth House The Sixth House is a bit like the ‘have to do basket’ that we keep putting off. Those chores, and daily bits and pieces that we have to do to keep our lives running (at home, work, or anywhere we spend a lot of our time), and all the ways we look after our bodies’ ailments (ie, exercise, physiotherapy). 6th house The symbolism found in this house shows you what type of skills that you have and, because this house represents the environment within your daily life, the people you have to work with. Pets and small animals are also represented here because they are an extension of the environment that you interact with. 6th house In a nutshell, this house represents responsibility, duty and health problems – we all have to learn about boundaries. So although this part of the birth chart is sometimes referred to as the house of health, in fact I think it would be more appropriate to think about it as the house that represents what type of illnesses an ...

Astrology and Your Health Medical astrology can predict not only personal qualities, but also the characteristic physical strengths and weaknesses of each of the twelve signs. Some swear by astrology, while others consider it a bogus science. Most people’s sun sign descriptions ring at least partly true; and, interestingly, many suffer from diseases or physical weaknesses that parallel their astrology. Read on for the health and wellness issues common to each of the twelve sun signs. What is a Sun Sign?-Astrology and Your Health Every person has a sun sign, moon sign, rising sign, and a sign representing the location of each of the planets at the time of birth. Each part of a person’s natal chart has some relevance and impact. The sun sign is very significant, and since it the easiest to figure out by date of birth alone, it is normally used in horoscopes and brief discussions, as here. Health Issues by Sun Sign  -Astrology and Your Health Because a person’s emotional and psycholo...

Astrology Compatibility in Relationships Human relationships are complicated and a way of explaining them is by looking at the astrological compatibility of the two partners. When browsing the numerous ads on dating websites or in newspapers, one can notice that very often people point to their zodiac sign, and even express their preferences for one sign or another as a main characteristic of the person they would like to meet. Indeed, many people know that Pisces, for instance, get along well with Cancer , Aries with Gemini and in no case should Virgo communicate with Sagittarius. What is behind all this? Reading Astrology Compatibility A person’s birth horoscope is a complex matter, encrypted in astrological symbols and numbers. From this scheme, an astrologer can read a lot of information, including how a person will manifest in relationships (marital, sexual, business, friendship, etc.), his sexual potential and his habitual emotional reactions. Moreover, by looking at two p...
