Gemini: I Think

The Year Ahead for Taurus… Energies affecting you at the time of the solar eclipses of April and October 2005, and March 2006 suggest that you will need to overhaul several different aspects of your life. Depending on your situation you could feel these affects a month either way of the dates mentioned.
Taurus: I Own
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and represents the stage of building on and stabilising what was started in Aries. Taurus is a fixed, earth sign (see my articles on these topics) - this simply means that people who are affected by Taurus energy (eg, Sun, Moon or Ascendant in this sign) will tend to be steadfast, unchanging and ‘earthy’. This is an introverted sign that is slow, deliberate and cautious, very much the opposite of Aries.

Aries: I Seek Myself
Liz Greene’s main theme for Aries energy is one of the old being overthrown in order for the new to take over. Usually this means that the father figure or another authority figure will feature in the individual’s life in developing the ego of the ram. Through ramming against the boundaries of this other authoritative figure, the Aries individual gets to develop their own strength.

The Astrological Twelfth House
Keeping in mind that the Twelfth House is the Sixth’s opposite, we can say that since the Sixth represents mundane, physical reality then the Twelfth can represent the unseen elements of life that affect our well being, and also the aspects of our life that transcend our mundane existence. The Sixth/Twelfth Houses form a polarity and need to be balanced out... mundane reality vs. unseen elements of existence.

Book Review: A New Vision of Astrology
A New Vision of Astrology sounded very interesting to me from the information I found on the back cover... "A horoscope begins at conception rather than birth, incorporating gestation – the most formative period of life". This is an approach I haven’t learnt much about so I was very eager to find out more, since the gestation period interests me in regards to the development of an individual.

The symbolism seen in the Fourth House describes whether the individual felt supported or not in developing their basic personality structure.

The Ascendant is basically the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment you were born - hence the other term for this point "Rising Sign".

The Significance of the Astrological Moon
Unless you have a serious interest in astrology you probably don't know what your Moon sign is. As mentioned in my introductory article, the Sun Sign is what most people are aware of because it is easy to calculate. However, because the Moon moves through each zodiac sign at a rate of about 2 1/2 days per sign it is more difficult to calculate it's position accurately. This is one of the reasons having a birth chart drawn up should be left to a professional.
