The Zodiac Signs With the definition of the personal components in a chart, itis time to further explore the nature and expressive qualities of the twelve Zodiac signs. Some considerations on interpreting the influence of these astrological archetypes would be as follows @® The characteristics of the Zodiac Signs apply to the Sun, the Moon, the Ascendant and the Planets. Any chart component will take on the qualities of the sign in which itis placed. © The sign in which any planet is placed will alter the expressive quality or influence of the planet. Furthermore, any natal placement or transit of a planet in an area of the chart will inject, the archetypal energy of that planet's ruling sign into that section or House of the chart, ® _ Each of the Zodiac Signs rules a part of the body and this alters the nature of our body Ianguage, ourhealth and more. The 17th century woodcut above illustrates how the parts of the body are linked to each sign of the Zodiac. This interesting correlation will be explored as we describe the Zodiac Signs ® Aspects between natal components may push and pull-- or combine, divide or alter your personal energies. Aspects of transiting planets can change these inherited qualities. Keeping track of all of these components and aspects can be mind boggling. It may be wise to understand only the basic functions of these signs and aspects. Only then, can you keep it simple-- and do your dance with the changing lights! 3Get Things Started with your ARIES Friends! Aries March 22 to April 20 (Dates vary slightly in different years) Genesis of Speci Masculine Polarity, Cardinal Fire On the first day of Spring, the Sun crosses the equator in its journey to the north. For the first time, the light dominates over the night of the year. In this month of the Equinox, the raging fires are ignited and redirected, to activate the physical force which propels all creatures forward to explore anew path of personal and individual expression. Individuals with an Aries Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign (or a strongly aspected ‘Mars in a masculine sign) often express the qualities of Cardinal Fire and the aggressive mannerisms of a forward charging, head butting Ram. Fields of Likely Location: On the frontline, the Ram explores new found paths of discovery Riding on this forward-directed pulse, the Aries Ram desires to be/first in line, and first to explore any new adventure. Look in the hotter spots, where the energies run intensely and the vibrations take on a reddish glow. Go to the place where the action is happening These rambunctious creatures will likely be the ones initiating all of the commotion, as they make their personal arguments. They'll be there expressing their hardheaded opinions, expounding brash ideas and debating the importance of individual expression. Natu- rally, they insist that their opinions and expressions are the most important. These Aries Rams jump into every situation, quickly grasp the essentials and aggressively make their points. They are the risk takers and the daring pioneers who start new frontiers of discovery, for themselves and society as awhole. In their more naive expression, they become the “children of the zodiac”. Diplomats, they are not As these Rams charge head-first down the path, the enormous burst of energy brings snap decisions and an unquenchable spirit of independence. To honor these unique gifts, we need to give these people active and unrestricted tasks. Let them be in charge! They'll “plow away the clutter”, keeping answers clear and simple, as they initiate the actions that will get any stalled endeavor on the move again. In negative expression, these creatures often become arrogant, selfish and overly pushy. Also, the Ram will quickly charge away, to pursue anew impulse or interest. All those left behind will have to finish the job. With these aggressive, directed Aries forces, a“counter action” is needed to focus and slow these energies. This next step is found in the next sign of the Zodiac-- in the fixed, feminine sign of Taurus. Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Mars ‘Marsis associated with the muscular and urogenital systems, the adrenal glands, energy car- rying blood and C.G. Jung’s Animus (the masculine influence which operates in both sexes). In earlier times, all known planets ruled both a feminine and masculine Sign. The masculine quality is strongly expressed in externally oriented Aries. Traditionally, feminine Scorpio was ruled by Mars but now Scorpions appear to be driven by the long range rhythms of Pluto. Anies’ associations include the color “red”, iron and diamonds, all thorn-bearing trees and shrubs, the military and leaders in general. Mars is associated with physical movement, athletic actions, weapons and all things of warPhysical Traits ~ Aries rules the Head All signs rule a part of the body and this rulership changes body language and personality trats. (See diagram on page 30). Aries rules the head, so all of their force seems to emanate from the head. The rest of the body follows behind as the head leatls the forward charge! ‘The huge Aries head suggests lines and bone structure which resembles the physical traits of a photos of Aries James Woods show us how the above the wide upper lip plate is the long and pointed snout, (Note the dented membranes just above the nostrils). Upside from this prominent nose, {H@eyes)brows and forehead sweep ta the back to create the Ram’s highly convex face. Also watch for the Sheep-likke eyes and the arched modeled plate on the forehead. (An exaggerated version of this plate can be seen in the forchead of Star Trek’s Klingon creatures). On top of the Ram’s head lies the reddish double-crowned tuffs of hair, which mock the shape of sheep homs ‘The Aries Sun Signs displayed above exhibit varying degrees of the aggressive energy and forceful drive of cardinal fire Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner are true pioneers who have “taken us where no one has gone before”. Al Gore and Hugh Hefner have shown us how Aries, in their redirection of social attitudes, have impacted our life styles and the way we live. All the while, Sarah Jessica Parker and Marilou Henner show us how Aries have a gift for conquering anything they desire, With Celine Dion, Reba Mcintire, Alex Baldwin and Eddie Murphy, we see the fiery energy of individuals who are capable of making abrupt decisions. ‘All of these people have gained recognition for initiating their own creative projects 3Determine Real Values with your TAURUS Friends! Taurus April 21 to May 21 (Dates vary slightly in different years) of Species: Feminine Polarity, Fixed Earth In the middle month of the Spring season, the polarity switch to the Feminine brings Aries’ momentum to ahelt. The fires cease when they’re smothered in the incombustible mass of Fixed Earth In this month where the year experiences its’ greatest period of physical growth, the roots fix deeply into the ground, to manifest the material content, to create a lush, dense and rich environment. This is the substance that arouses the senses of the Taurus Bull. Individuals with an Taurus Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign (or a strongly aspected Venus in a feminine sign) often express the passive, immoveble qualities of Fixed Earth Fields of Likely Location: In green pastures, Bovines contentedly graze ‘When their senses are focused on the delightful substances in their surroundings, Taurian Bulls become noticeably contented, Why not? Their rich, brown eyes are revealing the beautiful colors and arrangements as their ears hear the music of the buzzing bees. Watch how their nostrils spread to capture the delightful aromas when the nose gently touches anearby flower In these fields of lovely treasures, these bovine crea- tures have little reason to move, unless their senses are attracted to the greener pasture just down the road. Look in cool and quiet places, where Aries or the other fire signs seldom dwell. Watch for greens and browns, earthy tones and lush, sensual environments. There you will find these mellow beasts, grazing on delicious treats. The firm smiles and glazed eyes tell us of their sensual satisfaction. Few words are needed to explain their sense of contentment and joy Ifyou need to determine what has value and substance, call in a Taurus friend, They know what things are worth! Let them be your banker and financial consultant, or better yet, put them to work building your home or any practical structure. They know how to get things done. Physical work is rarely shunned. Negatively, these creatures can become extremely stubborn, self-indulgent, lazy and obsessed with accumu- lating wealth. Some withdraw into their lonely object oriented worlds, alone with their useless possessions. ‘These inflexible tendencies are loosened, altered and expanded with the upcoming progression into the next sign in the Zodiac: The mutable air sign of Gemini Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Venus ‘Venus’ association with personal enjoyment and contentment is shown initsrulership ofthe feminine sign of Taurus. Here, the primal senses are kept simple and raw, not arty or complex as seen in the highly mental enhancements of masculine Libra (Venus’ co-rulership). The Goddess Venus also is C.G. Jung’s Anima, the feminine influence which operates in both sexes.Physical Traits ~ Taurus rules the Throat, Neck and Shoulders ‘The rulership of body areas progresses downward in the same order as the zodiac signs. From Aries’ ruler- ship of the head, the energies shift down into the Taurus-ruled neck and shoulder region of the body. Unlike Aries’ forward-trust from the head, Taurus’ internalized feminine energies (placed in this part of the body) seem to restrict any forward movement. Note how the forward lean of the shoulders pushes therestofthe {Gwettorso to MebAEk] This weight distribution bows the legs as it plants the feet firmly in the ground. This body rulership and the fixed earth energies define this creature’s physical features. Most notable are the heavy shoulders, the massive bones and torso, and the stocky arms and legs. This fixed Earth also shows in Taurus’ facial pattems Valerie Bertinelli and Michael Moore strongly display the expressive features and facial structure of Taurus, The first clues the square blocking pattems that appearin these individuals (and in most fized signs). MB¥eHi=\eubieal skullslandlforeleads)iie square jaws and the wide-set nostrils on the nose. ‘The most obvious Taurus feature is the large bovine eyes which rise on the outer edges to reveal the large and full bupils These eyes are firmly set under the broad, fixed brows. In contented moments, the full, dark pupils sit high under the lids, intently focused on nearby objects The Taurus Sun Signs above display the rock solid demeanor of Fixed Earth. Cher (before cosmetic enhancement), Shirley MacLaine, Anthony Quinn and George Clooney show the wide-set, fixed bovine eyes Dennis Rodman and Renee Zelwegger reveal their Taurus roots even with an abundance of fire components in their charts. You'll see strong winds of air raise alittle dustin the expressions of Uma Thurman, Cher and The Rock (Dwayne Johnson). With a dominance of Earth components, Michelle Pfieffér; Jack Nicholson, Clooney and Quinn appear to be the most sensual and highly grounded of the group. 35Just Think of the Possibilities with your GEMINI Friends! Emin, — As (Dates vary slightly in different years) Genesis of Spec! Masculine Polarity, Mutable Air ‘When things are stuck in a rut, it’s time for changes! Just switch the polarity to the masculine and activate the expansive urges. The Mutable ‘Air of Gemini will get things stirring again! ‘When the season of Spring nears its’ end, the seasonal winds spin and swisl, to mix up a dust storm ofnew potentials. In this period of scattered “electrical” storms, the previous desires and physical forms are tossed together and arranged into new mental configurations-- conceived in the dueling minds of the Gemini twins. The twin sides of the bicameral mind are noticeably active in all individuals with a Gemini Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign. Those with a strongly aspected Mercury in amasculine sign often display the qualities of Mutable Air Fields of Likely Location: In twisting gusts of air, the Twins dance in the light In wide-open space, the whirling breezes and meandering clouds make us feel that we are flying above the Earth, In this vacuous environment, a spatk of light to our right strikes the eye-- followed by an electric jolt! Suddenly, on the left, it happens again. Have we encountered the vaporous presence of the Gemini twins? Look in breezy places, filled with debate and conversation. If you see people fluttering around the room, chattering and babbling incessantly, they likely will be Geminis. They may be wearing lighter shades of blue, spattered with spatides of yellow or orange. Some (like Boy George and Prince) will often display an outrageous mix of tie-dyed colors Itis said that the only way to keep life exciting is to keep the mind active and curious. So, get up out of your soft Venusian chair, move about and interact with a Gemini friend. In a split second, your mind will tbe buzzing with new ideas. There will be so much to talk about and communicate. With Gemini’s mental acumen, we can leam to change what we think. Only then, can we make some real changes! In negative expression, the Gemini twins run in countering directions, splitting everything into dueling infinities. These scattered thoughts can break down any chain of logic and malce further analysis impossible To give these wayward ideas purpose and direction, they need to be guided by the personal feelings and emotions that are initiated by the next sign in the Zodiac: Cancer Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Mercury Mercury is associated with the mind, the nervous system and the way we think. Mercury, in masculine Gemini, suggests the expansive inductive reasoning that “brings things into the equation” so that larger greater concepts can be put together. (With Mercury’s co-ruled Virgo, the feminine act of deduction breaks complex concepts into singular pieces of thought). Traditionally, Mercury (in its association with Gemini) suggests these actions and products: The act of being a student, notably learning the use of words to communicate the content of one’s thoughts. The taking of short trips and the vehicles that take us there (cars, bicycles, scooters, etc). Mercury also suggests our immediate relationships, namely those of our siblings. ee 36Physical Traits ~ Gemini rules the lungs, arms and hands ‘The area of the body ruled by Gemini is the lungs, the arms and the hands. The polar shift to masculinity makes the energies expansive, free and flowing. The dueling mutable forces animate both of the hands and arms, and their respective sides of the body. head tums from left to night, st thinking process seems to redirect their course of flight. These mutable air energies also define Gemini’s physical nature. The body is often light and lanky. With aGemini Ascendant to enhance the traits oftheir chatty Suns, Gene [Wilder and Dr Ruth Westheimer both display the skewed features, the broad two front teeth, the sparkling, bffseteyesand the long blidged hose which dips abruptly atthe tip. They also show how Gemini's cheeks protrude forward from the ears (in parallel planes) to form the twisted jaw and chin “These two also present the cumulus folds of flesh which duplicate the components in the face. They appear to have two eye brows, two upper eyelids and lips, four cheeks, etc. There appears to be two twin faces where one should be. hs The Gemini Sun Signs above display the electricity of Mutable Air. Of the group, Joan Rivers best presents the mercuric chatter we often hear from a Gemini. Anderson Cooper and Tim Allen are also quite the talkers, but their assertive Aries Moons make them far more forceful in their presentations. Angelina Jolie, Annette Bening and Nicole Kidman all show their fighty solar natures, but the fire in their charts make them more intense and expansive. Paul McCartney's abundance air and fire is grounded by his Virgo Ascendant. Some Geminis appear more restrained, Wordsmith Bob Dylan has 5 components in Earth, so he often appears fimly grounded, even when his mind is racing at full speed. Clint Eastwood's Scorpio Ascendant often covers his mercuric nature with a “Dirty Harry” personae, Marilym Monroe, with four water planets, shows the difficulties that can occur when emotions are constantly chumed by restlessness thoughts 37Find Your Center of Security with your CANCER Friends! Cancer June 22 to July 22 (Dates vary slightly in different years) Genesis of Speci Feminine Polarity, Cardinal Water Scattered to the winds? It’s time to get your act together! At Cancer’s cardinal point, itis the Summer Solstice and the high noon of the year. Atthis peak oflight, the long journey into winter’s night begins again. With this major polar switch, the tides turn inward, moving all creatures to start the emotional process of dealing with their changing surroundings and environment With the energy of Summer's heat, the waters evaporate into clouds of humid air, only to cool and condense into liquid form again. The rains fill surging streams and flowing rivers, as they run downward into their home at the sea_ In the ocean, the lunar tides push and pull the waters back and forth in regular rhythms. Nothing ever seems to come to rest. It’s no wonder these crabs constantly seek a place to call home. ‘Watching all this, the Cancer crab gently rolls with these churning tides, as they glide along with the shifting currents. They know that the holding and scattering forces are all moving in aregular cadence-- following the order of repetitive cycles. Perhaps, this is why these creatures have such a keen sense of Nature’s rhythms. Individuals with a Cancer Sun, Moon or Rising Sign (or a strongly aspected Moon) often dance with the liquid currents on the Earth, as they express the qualities of Cardinal Water. Fields of Likely Location: In tidal pools, the Crab finds shelter from the storm Settled securely in their new found homes, these children of the Moon wait quietly until the magic moment, ‘when the tidal wave surges past their door. With anticipation, they slide into the stream, riding the crest ofthe rolling wave, surfing to distant places-- to find useful treasures and nurturing goodies. When the tide shifts, they ride the wave back home again-- arms filled with valuable booty. Strangely, even when their closets and pantries are filled to the brim, these creatures always anticipate another “gathering run” Look in damp and secluded places, where waters quietly run. There you'll find the happy crab, cooking soup to nourish others. Aries is way dowm the road. Gemini is on the telephone. Taurus is drawn to the aromas of the bubbling stew. The crab kindly serves another bowl. That’s why Cancer and Taurus get along! In negative expression, these creatures can become overly emotional, crabby or very insecure. Some become paranoid, even when nothingis wrong. Many withdraw into their shells, separating themselves from any contact. Once we have “our act together”, we are firmly centered. This acquired sense of confidence allows us to step out into the world-- to express our inner feelings. With the entrance into the next sign of Leo, we can put on an incredible show! Associations: Ruling Planet ~ The Moon The Moon is the goddess of our instincts, the controller of our habits and emotional reactions. It is also associated with menstrual cycles, motherhood and the part of the digestive system that pulls ‘nourishment out of food. These lunar tides also regulate the sympathetic nervous system, body fiuids and the memory. ‘The feelings of Cancer are directed to create and sustain the home, the family and the memory of ancestors. Anything connected with nourishment (food and most kitchen utensils) are also associated with this sign. ‘The crab’s metal is silver, and her stone is an ocean’s pearl. These moon children are attracted to wild flowering plants and trees nch in sap Cancers are excellent businessmen, caring nurses, caterers, boat-builders, housewives,Physical Traits ~cancer rules the breasts and the upper torso. When the rulership of body areas progresses dovmward in the breasts, the energies are contained in the largest part ofthe body-- the shell of the torso. The accumulation of feminine forces in the torso dynamically alters the body language. The extremities are pulled in tightly to the body, to anchor the Crab securely in its occupied space. Any movement out of this comfort zone begins when the crab’s heavy shell is tumed to the side-- and tilted forward! With this tilted mass of torso weight, the crab appears to fall forward and sideways. Amazingly, the feet scuffle to the sides and then to the front, to bring the body back to an upright position, a few feet further down their path. ‘To demonstrate the physical traits, we have two pure-breed crabs. Ross Perot and Karen Black both have Cancer Rising and their Sun's are in the first decan of Cancer. (See pg 55 for the effects of decan placement). For both, Cancer traits run strong! ‘The Cancer face is the roundest of all the signs. This effect is due to the giant, round temples, which form the beaming “full moon” circle that sits low on the face. Centered in this circle are the facial components, which seem to swell in synch with the building emotions. Interestingly, the furrows in the forehead, the eyebrows and the wavy triangle between the eyes seem to mock the lines on the back of the crab’s shell ‘The Cancer Sun Signs above display the intemal currents of Cardinal Water, as it shifts and rearranges their faces into avariety of liquid expressions. Ringo Starr: Amelda Marcos, Phyillis Diller and Ed Bradley all show how this sign’s temples inflate and beam, when they deliver their “full moon” expressions. With Red Stelton end Robin Williams, the waters seem to be under pressure. (Skelton’s four air planets percolate the four water components in his chart, With dominant fire, Williams’ emotions take on the dynamics of an erupting geyser). Meryl Streep, Nelson Mandella, Dear Abby (Ann Landers) and Linda Ronstadt demonstrate how the waves of the turning tides can be contained in secured pools of emotional content. 2Let your LEO FRIENDS show your creations to everyone! July 23 to Aug. 22 (Dates vary slightly in different years) Genesis and Classificatio! Masculine Polarity, Fixed Fire In the doldrums of Summer, the heat of the long day’s Sun penetrates every rock and crevice, as it warms the earth and its waters. This concentration of heat expands the “sense of center” obtained in Cancer This expansion and the switch to fixity encourages all to focus on the conditions in their outer surroundings It is time to envision the creative enhancements we can bring to this drab and boring place. Can we hang a golden chandelier? How about a gazebo in the backyard? Ina flash, our Leo Kings and Queens will step onto center stage, to proudly announce a even grander vision: “Let’s build a shiny castle!” All creations begin from the individual visions, brought into focus by Leo's fixed fire. Individuals witha Leo Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign (or a strongly aspected masculine Sun) will often express these expansive and playful desires, as they display the confident mannerisms of a regal and confident Lion. Fields of Likely Location: In the spotlight, the Lion proudly creates visions of play When a spotlight is pointed at a stage, someone becomes the “focus of attention”. So, look to where the bright and colorful lights are shining-- where the beautiful people are playing and dancing, Ifyou hear bois- terous and confident voices, unflappably upstaging each other, then you have entered a den of lions. Expect alot of theatrics, when you enter this pride of cats. These lions are eager to combine the previously generated Gemini ideas, the Cancer feelings and “everything that they experienced” to fuel and bring their inspired visions to light. This fiery focus can enhance any individual's gift for self-expression. Likely that’s why, in the entertainment industry, we find an abundance of Leo Suns and Moons When these expansive fires radiate out, their magnanimous and warm energies attract the attention of others! Highly attracted to the fire, many people are willing to follow the decrees of their royal masters-- to create and manifest those shiny Leo visions. Your Leo friends can also inspire you to manifest your own “light creations”. They can heat up your creative fires~ in your work, your romance and in the play you perform with your children. (Leo, with its masculine ruling Sun, traditionally symbolizes the influence of the father) In negative expression, these self-centered Lions may believe that they are the sole creators of everything! Some will boast about their importance and their achievements, even though they contributed little With the grounded and mutable forces in the next sign of Virgo, these inspired visions may be brought into physical form, but it may take a lot of hard work Associations: Ruler ~ The Sun Like the Sun (the center of our solar system), Leos often think that everything also evolves acound them! Perhaps this is why the Fixed Fire of Leo is ruled by the Sun Like the coat of a Lion, Leos are often surrounded by the color of yellow-red, or Orange (Royal Purple is also popula). Appropriately, their metal is Gold and the Ruby is their stone. Sunflowers, rosemary, oranges and all citrus trees compliment their energies.Physical Traits ~ Leo rules the heart, the back and the spine In our fire-red blood, Gemini's oxygen and Cancer's nourishments are pumped to all parts of our body by the heart. This life-giving blood circulates up and dowm the back, infusing the nerves of the spine and the back muscles with the life-giving force of the spirit. These parts of the body are ruled by the sign of Leo ‘The Lion's heart leads them forward, as they strut onto the stage. Their confidence immediately draws attention. As they receive more strokes, the fires become more stoked, as Leo revels in the adulation. In the process, Leo’s barrel-like chests swell and expand, along with their increased sense of selfimportance. The incipient heat (stored in the glowing coals of Leo’s internal furnace) will soon erupt in a burst of theatrical flares To begin this examination of Leo’s physical traits, we have two pureblood Lions Garrison Keillor and Rose Marie. Both have Leo Suns and Rising Signs Their bone structure and facial expressions both mock the features we see in a Lion. Note the cubical forehead, the bushy fixed brow, the wide, blocked cheeks and the jowly jaw Like the kingly lion, the feline eyes seem to be placed high above the nostrils and the mouth In their solar performances, these lions truly shine. Garrison, in his radio show “Prairie Home Companion”, tells of his hometown where every child is above average. Rose Marie was the loud co-worker, whose showy antics lit up “The Dick Van Dyke Show” The Leo Sun Signs above exhibit varying degrees of fixed fire David Crosby, Delta Burke and Melanie Griffith show Leo’s distinct uplifted feline eyes. Stanley Kubrick and Andy Warhol shows how these eyes can be intensely focused, to create Leo’s majestic visions. Jackie Kennedy, Linda Ellerbee and Haley Berry show the stubby, wide-based nose and the wide, flat cheekbones, typical of this sign. They also show the unflappable confidence of calmer cats. Antonio Bandera and Billy Bob Thorton show the flamboyant bravado of dashing Lions. You may also notice that most males of this species have excessive facial hair 41It’s time to work it all out, with your VIRGO Friends! Aug. 23 to Sept. 23 (Dates vary slightly in different years) Genesis and Classificatio! Feminine Polarity, Mutable Earth ‘When the Leo Lion takes his curtain call, the spotlight fades, as the days become shorter and the nights cooler. The Earth is going through obvious introspection of feminine Earth and the mixing actions of the mutable mode, our Virgo friends will be there with their fine discriminatory senses and critical powers, to help us dissect and digest the complexities in our surroundings. Virgos will do the analytical work, needed to make Leo’s grandiose visions a physical reality. To accomplish any doable task, Virgo will consider all of the details, break them into their original bits and pieces, and determine what is workable and what is not. Individuals with an Virgo Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign (or a strongly aspected Mercury in a feminine sign) will often express the perfectionism and analytical qualities of Mutable Earth. Fields of Likely Location: Amidst the clutter, Virgo delights in creating order. Check out the headquarters of any major organization, business or project. Look for the room with shelves filled with books, research material or engineering plans. Find the desk with the biggest piles of papers. Likely a Virgo will be sitting in the chair, busily organizing the stuff into neater arrangements With the forces of Mutable Earth and Mercury at their disposal, Virgos have a gift for dealing with details. They have an incredible ability to sort through all sources, as they find the individual facts and the building blocks that we need to complete any current task. Give Virgo a research project and his or her mouth will twist into a delighted smile. Watch how the eyebrows altemate up and down, as they search for information Upon finding an answer, the crystal facets in Virgo’s eyes will project Mobius pattems of sparkling lights, which change with the facets of thoughts, formulating inside their mercuric minds. ‘Virgo’s gift for detail gives them a limited breadth of vision and they can become obsessed with minute details, The nervous energies can lead to criticalness, excessive worrying and hypochondria These conflicting ideals and realities are brought into balance and given creative direction by the Cardinal ‘Air of Libra, the next sign in the Zodiac. Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Mercury The Messenger Mercury is associated with anything analytical-- reasoning, logic and all creations derived from the act of thinking. With Virgo, these analetical impulses are applied to the pr work we must do, to pay the bills, serve others or complete essential survival tasks (stock the firewood or the pantry, etc.). The sixth House is the home of such activities. ‘The presence of Virgo forces turns the colors to navy blue, grey and brown. Virgo works with the harvest that is presented, preparing the storable foods (nuts and roots) that sustain us through the coming WinterPhysical Trai ‘S~Virgo rules the stomach, upper digestive track From Leo's Heart, the rulership of body areas progresses downward, centering in the upper digestive track and the stomach. This, and the shift to feminine polarity, distinctively alters the body language, as it constrains any excessive, outward movement. (Unlike the expansive Air of Mercury ruled Gemini, Virgo’s hands remain close to the body, shielding the private areas of the body). This placement in the midsection of the body creates a protruding stomach, which pulls the chest and shoulders to the back. The lift in the rear section gives these people a stilted walk as the stomach and buttock sways left to right with every alternating step The physical traits of Virgo can be seen in those who have strong Virgo in their chart. Keannu Reeves and Peter Sellers are excellent examples. Both of these men are Virgos with Virgo rising. Keannu shows the high forehead, squinted offset eyes, thin nose and pointed chin and the fastidious qualities of this sign. Peter shows amore rugged face, with his jowly, chunky and nerdy features. ‘To demonstrate the strength ofthe Ascendant, apicture of Leo Madonna is included. She has >=. Rising and since the ascendant affects the bone structure, she has Virgo’s gap between her front teeth. (It's similar to what we see with Sellers). This Lion may be showy, but shelooks “Just like a Virgin” ‘The faces of the Virgo Sun Signs above are torqued and twisted by the mutable forces. More than any other mutable sign, the skewed features are easiest to detect, since they’re anchored in the solid clay of the element Earth. Richard Gere, Dr Phil MeGraw and Sean Connery show the offset cheekbones, twisted noses and angled chins. Laren Bacall, Cameron Diaz and Leanne Rimes show how Virgo’s asymmetrical eyes and facial features can be so beautiful, and Oliver Stone and Agatha Christie show the common gap in the upper center teeth. Lily Tomlin and Paul Reubins (aka, Pee Wee Herman), with their extreme nervous natures, show how the mercury energies of Virgo can run amuck 8Maintain the Balance with your LIBRA Friends! Libra 5 Sept. 24 to Oct. 23 SA (Dates vary slightly in different years) Genesis and Classificatio! Masculine Polarity, Cardinal Air On the first day of Fall, the Sun crosses the equator in its southward journey. As the night begins its dominance over the day, the “self-oriented” light of the ‘Sun dims, as the Earth enters the other half of the year. In this month of equal light, the forces of Cardinal Air arrange the analytical material of Virgo into equal piles, to weight their value and esthetic worth. ‘With this balancing of one side with the other, Libra disarms conflicting ideas by creating harmonious agreements and partnerships. This articulation of common ideals allows individuals to manifest the artful creations, that prove fair and beneficial to everyone. Individuals with a Libra Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign or a strongly aspected Venus often express the calming qualities of Cardinal Air. Fields of Likely Location: When opposing frontal forces collide, Libra calms the storm. In the arrangement of Nature’s forces, all dominate energies will eventually dissipate and find a state of balance with weaker, opposing forces. Likewise, the cardinal energy of Libra moves opposing forces into equal positions, With the injection ofthe mental energies of Air, ideas and ideals are evaluated for their esthetic value as they're weighed to determine their worth. All of this creates the finer, artful expressions of Libra Looking to bring balance into your life? Check out the more serene locations-- perhaps the library, @ nearby coffee house or any place with pastel colored walls, beautiful paintings and artful arrangements of fine furniture. If you hear a group quietly discussing the arts, justice and interpersonal relationships, and the conversation is even-toned and there is not a hint of argument, then you've likely come in contact with a gathering of Libras, ‘This group welcomes all signs-- even Aries, who sees everything from the self-oriented side of the galaxy. Even the fires of the Ram can be disarmed and diluted by the powerful forces of cardinal Air. Libras are the diplomats who have a gift for forming agreements (legal and romantic). They will always take the position of the underdog, then switch sides when the underdog achieves dominant status. This desire to keep everything in balance makes some Libras very indecisive. This constant waffing can male them appearineffectual, lazy, consumed with personal pleasure and totally incapable of taking any action Scorpio, the next sign in the Zodiac, provides the emotional focus which will eliminate undesirable ideas and empower the importance ones with a meaningful sense of purpose Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Venus Libra rules the kidneys. The refining purification process of this organ suggests the function of the sign. Venus’ association with personal enjoyment was introduced in the feminine sign of Taurus. In the masculine sign Libra, the Venusian forces are expanded to create pleasures and things of beauty in the exterior world. Venusalso symbolizes C.G. Jung’s Anima, the attractive feminine influence in both sexes, that defines the qualities we find attractive and personally appealing in others. Libra is associated with justice, elegant art and love of love itself This sign’s colors are pale blue and pink The stone is sapphire and the metal copper. 44Physical Traits Libra rules the kidneys, lumbar region, skin surface ‘The rulership of body areas started at the head in Aries. Appropriately, when we reach the midpoint between the head and the feet, we are in the region of the body ruled by the opposite sign of Aries--- Libra Here, the lumbar and the kidneys make up this arena of rulership. Also, in some traditional listings, this rulership includes the surface of all the skin. These rulerships account for Libra’s perfectly propor- tioned features, their creamy smooth skin, and their easy-going, well balanced mannerisms ‘As Libras glide across the floor, their bodies seem to be perfectly erect [HEINAHGSTaRE] hheld low with fingers pointing to the sides, arms moving in and out-to teeter the torso left (|ERGAEEDIMIGIRESINILE(WlaREE] Many people with this sign seem to walk like they have a book balanced on her head.

Scorpio Oct. 24 to Nov. 22 (Dates vary slightly in different years) Genesis and Classifi Feminine Polarity, Fixed Water In the middle of the Fall season, the darkness of night noticeably dominates over the day. The leafs have fallen from the trees, the grass has tumed to ‘brown and the life force has entered a state of dormancy. It is obvious that nature’s resources are now limited. With the entrance into Scorpio’s realm of fixed waters, it is time to trust the choices that Libra has given us and discard everything of little worth. Itis the feelings of Scorpio that determine what of these other resources have real value. Individuals with an Scorpio Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign (or a strongly aspected Pluto or feminine Mars) often express the qualities of Fixed Water, the mannerisms of a secretive Scorpion or the uplifting spirit of a high flying Eagle. Fields of Likely Location: In the shadows, between the dark and light, Scorpio hides the magical secrets. On the other side of the wheel, the senses of Taurus helped us find the earthy delights that supported our physical temple. In the darkening skies of Scorpio, such resources are harder to find. It’s time to dig deeper, find the hidden secrets, hold on to our convictions and make the necessary personal transformations. Only then, can we acquire the other needed resources-- that will help us “make it through the night” To find these secrets, look for clandestine metaphysical groups and gatherings. They often meet behind closed doors, or in dark, isolated caves. Boo! Once inside, you may notice magical symbols on the dark blue and black tummed walls. The heavy, omate furniture will be purple or a dark red. Conversations are intense and determined, but seemingly merged together in common purpose. You are in a den of scorpions. There is power in not revealing your secrets. Mystery is empowering, but it can take one to the darker side of the Scorpion. There, these creatures become obsessive, emotionally inflexible, power hungry and unwilling to reveal any of their secrets. Some do their best to lift themselves above the fray, but the power of their wings is not enough, for they are carrying the heavy weight of their emotional attachments. They need to learn to let go-- to rise above the ashes! This lesson comes from the next sign in the zodiac: Sagittarius. Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Pluto, traditionally Mars In earlier times, when the only known planets were those seen with the natural eye, each sign had feminine and masculine co-rulers. Traditionally, Mars’ masculine quality was associated with Aries and its feminine side ruled Scorpio. However, with the discovery of the outer planets, astrologers ‘were able to add “more dimension” to their interpretations. Pluto, the planet and the ancient God who dwelled in the ocean’s depths, became the ruler of Scorpio. Pluto's mysterious forces reveal the long range cycles that continually regenerate the steps in the process that brings life into form. Pluto, the last planet in our solar system, suggests the totality of the life experience: sex and reproduction, birth, death and the after life. Scorpio reveals the connection between them all. Pluto and Scorpio are also associated with hypnosis, hidden underworld forces, and catastrophic transformations (crptionsand earthquakes).

This shift to the hips draws the pelvic region forward, as it sends the upper torso and the legs to the back At the upper back, the neck and head juts sharply to the front, to create the easy recognized “eagle-like” profile.

Scorpio has taught us what treasures are worth retaining. With the injection of mutable fire, all emotional bindings are removed and cast asunder as the spirit of one’s desires leaps beyond its limited perceptions. This expansion in scope brings the profound realization’ There is a grand and intelligent process to the seasons and to all of these cycles. We all are part of something wonderful!

Ifyou go to a sporting event, these athletic Archers will likely be the ones playing in the field ‘You'll likely find these ponies in big, open spaces-- in parks or large, open windowed facilities. The conversations will be feisty, truthful and philosophical. If any Geminis are present, they will express their view (formed at the other side of the wheel) as they attempt to keep the conversation logical and intelligible ‘The sense of non-attachment runs strong with most Sagittariuses, The fires can become uncontainable, as they spread out of control. They can become wasteful, blindly optimistic and over indulgent. ‘These scattered energies are contained and given direction by the next sign in the Zodiac: Capricom Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Jupiter Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It’s abig ball of gas! Appropriately, it symbolizes (or rules) the sign of Sagittarius. In earlier days, it was also the ruler of Pisces Jupiter is known as “The Greater Benefic” which tends to “expand” and open the door to opportunity. Opportunities often appears when planets transit the 9th House, when oneis stirred to pursue knowledge, a higher education or philosophy, and speculative thinking The expansive outlook often leadsus to long distant travel, foreign languages and other countries, as we desire to “publish” our ideas. For the Romans, Jupiter was represented by Jove. For the Greeks, Zeus was ruler of this planet. Also, Jupiter's 12 year cycle likely is associated with the fortunes of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac.Physical Traits Sagittarius rules the thighs When the body forces shift into the thighs, the energy is divided-- as one high-stepping thigh, then the other, pulls the lower body forward on the path ahead. Any change in attitude abruptly alters the course. This placement of force in this body region greatly defines this creature's body appearance mpared to the lower pear-shaped hips and large thighs. The legs seem to become smaller and narrower as they progress down to the feet (which appear as diminutive hoofs).

Capricorn Dec. 23 to Jan. 20 (Dates vary slightly in different years) Genesis and Classificatio! Feminine Polarity, Cardinal Earth On the Winter Solstice, (the shortest day of the year), things appear dark and bleak, but things aren’t so grim-- a new year is beginning at this cardinal point as the Sun starts another “upward climb” in the sky. ‘This redirection in the Sun’s movement drives all creatures to move ahead-- to use the lessons of previous experiences and those learned throughout ALL time ‘With the polar switch to feminine Earth, the unlimited desires of Sagittarius are contained. Itis time to make solid plans, orchestrate goals and make resolutions for the year that lies ahead. Individuals with a Capricorn Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign (or a strongly aspected Saturn) will often express these urges of Cardinal Earth. Fields of Likely Location: Following the passages of time, the Goat climbs to the top of the mountain Bom at the beginning of anew yearly cycle, Capricoms (more than any other sign) understand the importance of the passage of Time. These determined creatures knows that it takes time to leam the skills we need to build future creations. Wisdom comes with age. That’s why they insist that you make good use of your time! ‘Young Capricoms can be found in greasy spoon cafes and at the local thrift store. At mid-life, they may serve on political councils, in organizations, or at the headquarters of operations-- climbing up the social ladder! In later years, after they achieve a sense of success, they may dine at the finer establishments and wear clothes from Neiman Marcus. The wiser goats realize that these material accruements are not the true indicators that they are doing well-- rather, it’s how well all things are doing The opposite sign of Cancer desires to secure the base, the family and their own personal sense of security. Capricorn, on the other hand, orchestrates security on a larger scope-- by finding ways to raise the living standards of our communities, our nation and the planet as a whole. Without a functioning community, no individual will be secure! ‘These tenacious creatures firmly believe that one’s body of work never ends-- and the institutions that contribute to this higher “mission of service” (as inspired by Virgo) will be the one’s that last! They believe that all things will get better with time! Perhaps that’s why some goats seem to get younger with age ‘With their eyes, hearts and minds aimed at some distant goal, goats rarely plant their feet in the here-and- now. This orientation leaves many goats fearful of possible future scarcities. They may become incredibly cheap or obsessed with wealth and power. Others, overwhelmed by failed institutions and human foibles, become insufferably cynical. Such tethered goats have little direction, less meaning and no hope. To affirm a higher hope in humanity, the individual must focus on the beliefs of Aquarius-- the next sign in the Zodiacs. Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Saturn (traditionally, also rules Aquarius) Safum is the last planet we can see wath our natural senses. Therefore it became the planet associated vith “physical limutations”. Satum’s 28 year cycle (and its’7 and 14 year quarter and half cycles) represents the entical passages or “crystallizing points” in an individual's life Satum is associated wath the teeth and bones (the solid structure that shapes our bodies). In aging, it can be seenin the crystallization and acid formation in the joints. Positive Satum traits include perseverance, endurance and self- discipline Negatively, we see coldness, intolerance and restrictionPhysical Traits capricorn rules the knees ‘The Cardinal Earth forces of Capricom are contained and centered in the knees-- the part of the body ruled by this sign.

The eyes must be aimed upward, so that the goat can see the craggy pealcs that lie ahead. This body rulership greatly defines this creature's physical features, as Satum’s constraining energies reduce the size ofthe body parts. The extremities, like those of the crab, are thin and short. Unlike Cancer, the torso and the shoulders are also minimized ‘These goat-like features are prominent in the makeup of Anthony Hopkins and James Earl Jones. Both have Capricorn Suns and Rising Signs.

Masculine Polarity, Fixed Air In the doldrums of Winter, the life forces are frozen in a state of ‘uncertainty--- until they’re sparked by the hopeful recognition: The light is getting brighter everyday! ‘This new enlightenment allows all individuals to see: There's a Grand Intelligence to “All of This” and It can fulfill our future hopes! Such thoughts can also confirm the belief. This All-knowing source is suspended in the air, everywhere-- and every conscious entity can (if they put their mind to it) connect to this knowledge. These intuitive messages can help individuals manifest the inventive solutions that will fulfill the grandest hopes and wishes of all of society. Individuals with an Aquarius soe Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign (or a strongly aspected Uranus) often have this gift of mental intuition. jelds of Likely Locatio1 In focused mental concentration, revolutionary ideals manifest Ifthoughts are the forbearers of all creation, then our fixed-thought Aquarius friends are the ones who are likely to manifest the greatest amount of revolutionary ideas. After all, they are constantly thinking up ways to disrupt failed Capricom institutions and come up with surprisingly creative inventions. In ancient times, water was considered the “conductor of consciousness” and that is why our Aquarius friends are called “the water bearers”. Aquarius tells us that-- when each individual meditates and tunes into his or her own channel of focused light-- collective thoughts (past, present and perhaps future) will be revealed. ‘This information (which some call the Askasic records) tells us that the minds of all individuals and living entities are intuitively linked. This “collective consciousness” is available to all, to inspire future creation. Such strange ideas are matter of fact for our Aquarius friends. That’s why you may find them at UFO and New Age gatherings, pitching radical concepts, gathering funds for humanitarian projects as they establish future social trends. Many of these cosmic cowboys (or cowgirls) are rarely connected to earthy things. Unlike Capricorn, they’re rarely on time or practical, since their hopeful minds are firmly fixed on a distant ‘mental image, forming the matrix wire-frames of future creations. In the opposite sign of Leo, these visions are applied to enhance individual recognition and immediate and present surroundings. Leo’s self-centered creative urges make Aquarius’ collective visions obtainable A successful society can only happen, when there are many successful individuals. Some of these humanitarians are so concemed for the future welfare of others that they often neglect their personal needs. Others are constantly focused on the concepts in their head or lost in some distant thoughts. ‘This makes it difficult for them to express emotion and feeling To achieve balance, the collective desires, sensations, thoughts and feelings of others must be considered. ‘This merging of all of these elements becomes the destined task of the next sign in the Zodiac: Pi Associations: Ruling Planet ~ Uranus (traditionally also ruled by Saturn) Uranusis associated with the circulatory system, unexpected physical and neurological changes, modem science and aeronautics, radio and television, space travel and science fiction.

Pisces Feb. 20 to March 20 (Dates vary slightly in different years) and Classificat Feminine Polarity, Mutable Water ‘When the Winter season nears its end, it’s time to make the needed changes to prepare for life's rebirth at Spring. Aquarius has helped us realize that we all have the potential to mentally connect to this creative machine's records of knowledge. Now, with the modal shift to mutability and our submergence into the universal solvent of water, it's time to unify all of the other elements in our lives-- so that we can feel totally-connected with this Divine Order of Creation. In the mutable waters of Pisces, we can learn to feel the changing rhythms and pattems thet have constructed the colored webbings that make up the world that we now perceive. And when we leam to be in synch with these “Rhythms of Live”, they may give us the guidance that will help us complete our personal course of destiny. This sensitivity runs strong in individuals with a Pisces Sun, Moon, Rising Sign, or a strongly aspected Neptune. Fields of Likely Location: In reflective pools of imagined lights, the Fish gratefully swims In the ever changing currents, the fish swims gently along, attracted to the reflecting flashes of a ever increasing light. Aquarius has tuned us into this flashing light and the shiny lure has gotten our attention. The fish must trust his or her feelings, take aleap in faith and take a bite. What will happen can only be imagined! In all pools of humanity, you will find these timid souls. They may be the nurses who care for injured patients, or the quiet committee members who (often unrecognized) stir the feelings of others to achieve mean- ingful and compassionate conclusions. They would like all of us to merge our desires, sensations, thoughts and feelings-- and join their “school of fish”, so that we can swim together as One, in perfect synchronicity! ‘With their joyful feelings, Pisceans counter the worrisome and critical thinking of Virgos-- the opposite sign in the zodiac. These emotions serve a greater purpose as they meld disparate elements together and make the final preparations-- which will hopefully fulfill the dreams and illusions envisioned in the hearts ofall living creatures. As Pisces Bobby McFerron said: “Dont Worry, Be Happy’ Alas, such feelings are easily lost in our everyday struggles. Wishing alone doesn’t bring solutions and even Virgo will remind you: “It’s your turn to do the dishes”. Things are never perfect. Perhaps, that’s why so many Pisces are disillusioned, bewildered and often unable to find direction in their lives ‘The forward charge in anew creative direction begins with the retum of Aries, the sign that symbolizes YOU taking action to start anew creative endeavor But now, you are aware of the twelve steps in dance of the seasons. Beginning now, you can follow these orderly steps, as you pursue the actions and self-expressions to complete your creative desires. Whatever your Sun Sign, with this lesson of Pisces, you may now feel that your actions will contribute to the happiness-- of everything that you touch!
