Using the Oracle

The Sabian Symbol Oracle is easily accessed by astrologers and non-astrologers alike. Each symbol has been numbered from 1 to 360 so that you can simply choose a number from your mind or even from something in your surroundings; you can choose a sign and degree; or even open the book at random and see where your eyes fall. The downfall of using these methods is that you can affect the random selection by preferring particular numbers or signs or the book opening to often used pages. The best method by far is the card method. It ensures a randomness that the others do not. Just as you might throw the coins for the I Ching or rummage for a stone in The Runes, the Sabian Symbol needed can be selected by shuffling the deck and choosing a blue card and a red card. The cards are marked with a sign and a number. The end result (e.g. Aquarius 29) is simply looked up in the book and the answer contemplated. The Sabians seem to work most effectively when your question is important to you and your concentration is undisturbed. This is, of course, true of most oracles. The next step is to contemplate the actual symbol before reading the text. When you feel that you have a grasp of the symbol, move on and read the text and this will, hopefully, open any last resistance to the flow of your inner knowledge. An oracle is, after all, not a definitive answer, but a catalyst to open you up to the greater universal wisdom. Although the symbols are in words, it is their visual impact that open up intuitive pathways. Just as pictures and feelings can be conveyed into words, so is the reverse equally effective. The `you' referred to in the wording of the text may refer to you, a friend, the situation you're in -- read the text and bend it to fit the particular situation that you're referring to. You'll find layers of meaning for there is always more to a Sabian Symbol than first meets the eye. You may well see an actual physical representation of the Symbol in the world around you, or you may sense a feeling or even find other images and symbols popping into your mind. This is the intuition at work. The negative aspect of each symbol is there to open your mind up to these possibilities. Your intuition will tell you if the situation of your question is negative. Also the question often has the positive and the negative being expressed by different people or things in the situation. The other use of the negative is that if you follow a negative path then that will be the outcome, if you follow the positive, then the outcome will be positive. Trust your intuition. The greatest difficulty in understanding the symbolism is allowing the mind to switch to the intuitive way of thinking and not let your rational (socially driven) desires colour your interpretation. Spend time and wait until you become aware of an answer that feels right in your heart - even if the answer is difficult. Unfortunately we tend to grow spiritually or emotionally through difficult experiences. The Sabian Symbols are here to give you a guiding hand. The answer is inside you. If you are an astrologer, there is an almost limitless use of the Sabian Symbols in every aspect of astrological enquiry. The symbols add a fresh and vital human or inner depth to current knowledge and interpretation. Natal, mundane, vocational, transits, - everything. It is very important to note that the degree from the chart is taken up to the next whole degree. For example, 0.12' of Aries is in the first degree and the corresponding Sabian will be Aries 1; 12.59' of Libra will be the Sabian, Libra 13. This is because the zodiac starts at 0' and the Sabian Symbols start at 1, therefore the first degree is any part of 0 degree and the 13th degree is any part of 12 degrees. etc. The Oracle was written in response to many people asking for us to do the work of translating the meaning of the Symbols in a language accessible and easy to understand. We hope that the use of the Symbols and this Oracle opens up new pathways of meaning and significance for you.

The Twelfth House : The Hidden Power in the Horoscope Author: Karen Hamaker-Zondag Description: The mysterious and misunderstood 12th house is the subject of this book. Called "the house of self-undoing" by the old astrologers, this house has signified sorrow, misfortune, illness, imprisonment and secret enmity. It does, however, mean much more than that.

The 12th house symbolizes the collective unconscious and non-rational ways of perception - such as working with dreams.

The Inner Planets : Building Blocks of Personal Reality (Seminars in Psychological Astrology, Vol 4)

The Inner Planets : Building Blocks of Personal Reality (Seminars in Psychological Astrology, Vol 4) Author: Liz Greene Description: The inner planets--Mercury, Venus, mars--are the foundations of what psychology calls the ego, the sense of personal self. In this fourth volume in the seminars in Psychological Astrology series, Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas discuss the value of the inner planets as they symbolize important aspects of personality. We are not trained to give value to our private needs, feelings, and qualities. Indeed, because of their intensely personal nature, they are often suppressed or overlooked as irrelevant to society. Likewise, the inner planets have tended to be given less attention by psychological astrologers--for they are the personal planets. The authors show us that in order to give the most that we can to our interactions with the rest of the world, we must first understand our own needs and have a healthy ego--a personal authenticity. Their book teaches us the process of understanding how these three planets actually represent our individuality, and how they directly color the energy of the rest of our horoscope. Greene and Sasportas blend the processes of astrology and psychology in a unique and important way in this in-depth insight into the archetypes represented by the inner planets.

The 12 Cusp Signs:

Originally referred to as your Sun Sign, your Star Sign represents the Sign of the Zodiac that the Sun was in at your birth. The Sun rules will power and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual; who you are and what you are about. Your Sun Sign represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It is your personal honesty and integrity and your ability to command respect and authority, to impress and influence others. If you are born on a cusp you will incorporate the energies of both signs. Please select a Cusp Sign: April 19 - Aries/Taurus - April 23 May 20 - Taurus/Gemini - May 24 June 20 - Gemini/Cancer - June 24 July 22 - Cancer/Leo - July 26 August 22 - Leo/Virgo - August 26 September 22 - Virgo/Libra - September 26 October 22 - Libra/Scorpio - October 26 November 21 - Scorpio/Sagittarius - November 25 December 21 - Sagittarius/Capricorn - December 25 January 19 - Capricorn/Aquarius - January 23 February 18 - Aquarius/Pisces - February 22 March 20 - Pisces/Aries - March 24

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

Aquarius is the eleventh Sign of the Zodiac. After the last three Signs' learning about other people, Aquarius works with social institutions to make them work for people as they were meant to work. They are humanitarians and philanthropists, the visionaries of the Zodiac. Friendship is important to them, and they have many acquaintances in addition to their close friends. As the eleventh Sign, Aquarius also rules the eleventh House: the House of Friends. The Astrological Symbol of Aquarius is the Water Bearer. Like the Bearer bringing water to his people, this Sign brings new ideas to the world. It represents consciousness and the flowing of ideas, but they can also be impatient and temperamental with people who don't share their visions. They can be opinionated, and they work hard to bring their ideas to fruition, stubbornly refusing to give up their causes. In this way, Aquarius exemplifies the Fixed Quality assigned to it. They are independent and individualistic, within the world but detached from it. While they are peace-loving and friendly, they can also be cruel and tormenting of people who disagree with them. Within the Zodiac, Aquarius is opposite Leo, the Sign of Pleasure. While Leo focuses on personal pleasure and comfort, Aquarius tends to be about philanthropy and other people. Groups of people are important to them, rather than single individuals. Aquarius is ruled by the Planets Uranus and Saturn. In ancient Roman mythology, Saturn (and his Greek equivalent, Cronus) was the father of many Gods, including Zeus. Uranus was associated with the Earth, and he was the oldest god. In ancient times, Saturn ruled both Capricorn and Aquarius; Aquarius is the masculine, or day, aspect and Capricorn is the feminine, or night. Aquarius' ability to inflict torment on enemies comes from Saturn, while Capricorn is affected by Saturn's hardworking influence. When Uranus was discovered, astrologers assigned it as the modern ruler of Aquarius. It is from this Planet that Aquarians receive their visionary nature. Uranus is associated with progress and technology -- anything that is radical -- and it rules electricity and Astrology. Some Aquarians have genius that borders on insanity, and their progressive ideas and association with anything that is different makes them different to Capricorn. Aquarians are inventors, unpredictable and unconventional, but they may also be inconsistent and erratic. The Element associated with Aquarius is Air. Air Signs are intellectual: they tend to respond to the world through intellect, rather than physical action, practicality, or emotion. In Aquarians, intellect manifests itself in their fixed opinions and eagerness to share and discuss them. While people born under Aquarius are tolerant and broad-minded, they tend to stick to their beliefs. Their intellect makes them logical and self-confident, but it may also make them aloof from the people around them. They are original, offbeat, and even eccentric, but they are also rather bored by detail. Reformist and experimental, they may also seem cold toward people who don't share their intellectual orientation to life. Aquarians tend to have talent in a number of areas, both scientific and creative. They are unique and rebellious people, driven to change the world. They can sometimes be show-offs, but it's usually to draw attention to their causes rather than to themselves. Their freedom is important to them, and they are often driven to help others become free as well. In their leisure time, people born under Aquarius are social animals. They greatly prefer team sports to solitary athletics, and they often have a fondness for baseball and tennis. In love relationships, Aquarius is flirtatious, not possessive or jealous. Aquarius rules the ankles. People born under Aquarius may be more susceptible to sprains than people of other Signs. Aquarius's colors are the colors of the Water they carry: turquoise, aqua, and silver. The great strength of the Aquarius-born is in their visionary nature. They are the people who take the world to the next level; they make people look at things in a different way than before. Their ability to break the rules and move beyond what others think is possible makes them one of the most innovative characters of the Zodiac.

Astrology

Astrology Astrology is one of those subjects which is easy to learn but can take a lifetime to master. Most people are familiar with the most basic aspect of Astrology, their Star Sign (or Sun Sign), and usually they can name at least one common trait of their Sign. Star Signs are popularized in daily newspaper columns, magazines, and other media. Unfortunately, many people think that their Star Sign is all there is to Astrology. While it is a good place to start, there is a lot more to Astrology than the Sun's position alone! Nor is Astrology a modern invention dating back only a few years, decades, or even centuries. Astrology has been studied for millennia, and it dates back as far as recorded history. The original Astrologers were priests and scholars, and they were looked up to as doctors and learned men. According to modern speculation, the Three Wise Men of Christian belief were Astrologers! At this time, Astrology was the same science as Astronomy and Psychology, whose modern descendants arose from Astrology. In ancient times, the Greeks and Romans based their system of Gods on what they believed was up in the sky. Zeus, who was equated with Jupiter, and the other Gods and Goddesses were based on the Planets visible to the ancients. Astrology was similarly popular in Babylon and Egypt, and it also rose in the Middle East, India, and China. Modern Astrology has changed with the discovery of new Planets: first Uranus in 1781, the Neptune and Pluto, and also the Asteroids. These three Planets have a stronger effect on generations as a whole rather than individuals, but they still have an important place in modern Astrology. Astrology is about the interaction between the Planets (including the Sun and Moon) and the Signs. The relationships between them and their interactions are mathematically based, and Astrology studies these mathematical cycles. Each Sign represents a different aspect of the whole human; Aries starts the cycle, representing the Self, and Pisces completes it, representing the mass unconscious of all mankind. In between, each other Sign carries the energy of a different phase of man's evolution within the universe. In some ways, the forces between the Planets involved in Astrology can be simplified into one word: gravity. The Sun has the greatest gravity and the strongest effect in Astrology, followed by the Moon, the Earth's satellite. The other Planets are not truly satellites of the Earth, but they nonetheless have gravity and thus effect the Earth as well. The Sun controls the Earth's motion and the Moon controls its tides, but the other Planets have their own effects on the Earth -- and on the people who live here. Sometimes their influence can be so strong that they outweigh the Sun's energy! Astrology can be understood as a philosophy that helps to explain life, rather than as a predictive tool. Rather than discussing what the Planets do to us, we can explain ourselves based on Planetary indications. The Signs work the same way: each of the twelve Signs is a unique combination of one of the four Elements and one of the three Qualities. The importance of Elements and Qualities in our lives is their demonstration that we are all part of the environment. There is a connection between all living things and all matter on this Planet. Astrology ties humans together: we are all faced with the same Planetary interactions, and we are all part of the same cycles. But despite all these connections, Astrology does not tie you into being a certain way and it doesn't not predict everything about you. Astrology explains the energy in your life and its potential challenges and possibilities, but you can evolve from your chart. Astrology is about you, in what you can learn from it can help you make a choice between free will and destiny. In addition, Astrology does not have to affect or change people's religious beliefs. In fact, religion has a nearly universal belief that the way you live your life affects whether you will go to heaven or hell (or a similar idea) when you die. Astrology is talking about the same thing when it speaks of karma: what you do in this lifetime determines what will happen to you in your next lifetime. The philosophies are the same; they are just said in different ways. There are many different categories of Astrology. Medical, business, and stock market Astrology are often practiced for health or financial reasons. Weather Astrology is popular in some areas. Mundane Astrology is the study of politics amd world events, while Electional Astrology helps people find favorable times or days to get married, start a business, begin a new job, and so on. Horary Astrology is predictive, studying questions based upon the specific moment they arise. But the most popular type of Astrology is Natal, which analyzes people based on their time and place of birth. There are two major types of Astrology practiced today in the Western World: Tropical and Siderial. Tropical Astrology assigns the Signs based on their position in relation to the Spring Equinox, which marks the Astrological New Year and is usually March 21. The Equinox represents 0 degrees Aries. Siderial Astrology assigns positions based on constellations, rather than in relation to the Equinox. At present, Siderial Astrology is 24 degrees behind Tropical Astrology, so a person born under 23 degrees Libra in Tropical Astrology is born at 29 degrees Virgo in Siderial Astrology. The Age of Aquarius is now upon us! This means technology is progressing forward, society's attitudes and values are changing and perhaps will slant more toward the radical. Astrology will become more accepted and even mainstream! By creating this site and providing information about Astrology which is both informative and entertaining I hope to move the perception of Astrology past light entertainment to a more valuable tool for people to use on a personal basis both with themselves and others. Enjoy!

The Inner Planets :Building Blocks of Personal Reality (Seminars in Psychological Astrology, Vol 4)

The Inner Planets : Building Blocks of Personal Reality (Seminars in Psychological Astrology, Vol 4) Author: Liz Greene Description: The inner planets--Mercury, Venus, mars--are the foundations of what psychology calls the ego, the sense of personal self. In this fourth volume in the seminars in Psychological Astrology series, Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas discuss the value of the inner planets as they symbolize important aspects of personality. We are not trained to give value to our private needs, feelings, and qualities. Indeed, because of their intensely personal nature, they are often suppressed or overlooked as irrelevant to society. Likewise, the inner planets have tended to be given less attention by psychological astrologers--for they are the personal planets. The authors show us that in order to give the most that we can to our interactions with the rest of the world, we must first understand our own needs and have a healthy ego--a personal authenticity. Their book teaches us the process of understanding how these three planets actually represent our individuality, and how they directly color the energy of the rest of our horoscope. Greene and Sasportas blend the processes of astrology and psychology in a unique and important way in this in-depth insight into the archetypes represented by the inner planets.

Astrologers Node Book

Astrologers Node Book Author: Van Toen Description: Donna Van Toen provides a truly fresh approach to those mysterious imaginary points in the horoscope -- the Nodes. Traditionally, the nodes have been interpreted superstitiously as points of good and bad luck, or they have been seen as the karmic catch-all for suffering, or they 've been dismissed as meaningless. The author sees the opposition of the Nodes as a point of conflict between growth and stagnation, and working from this premise, has written a book designed to help readers determine how to balance the Nodes, how to find that missing part and develop it, and how to keep the Nodes balanced. She discusses the Nodes through all the signs and houses, and outlines the problems inherent in each nodal position as well as all the possible reasons for the problems, solutions and observations.

Healing With the Horoscope : A Guide to Counseling

Healing With the Horoscope : A Guide to Counseling Author: Maritha Pottenger Description: From the author: This book is aimed to serve the needs of the helping astrologer, but I hope you won't buy it for the sake of your clients alone. It is my fervent desire that you will use this for yourself, in a spirit of very enlightened self - interest. I expect this volume to be intensely valuable in your work with people. In it I cover relevant research from psychology about what works with expmples and illustrations; and ways to minimize anxieties, fears, inadequaies, and strife. There is a lot of material here to help you become a more effective healer. Your clients, and any people you are with, will benefit. But that -- valuable as it is -- is not why I hope you'll read this book. Suggestions are offered of ways to increase your own growth and fulfillment in the healing process. You are affected by every client, and each one by you, even if she seems unmoved by the experience. Counseling interaction is a two - way street: the healer is as much healed as healing. The more attention we pay to what our clients teach us, the more valuable the understanding gained on both sides!"

Where to get Your Birth Certificate:

Since the Privacy Act of 1974, only the person, his or her parents or legal representative is able to obtain the birth certificate for eighteen states. On fourteen more of the applications, a relationship to the person is required. Most states require a reason given for the document: some may accept the reasons of: Genealogical study, research on date-time patterns, book or article material. Others may not. This report is not inclusive as all the information is not in. Note the following code: P. Parents names (with mother's maiden name). R. Relationship to the person. S. Name of closest sibling.

The IMPORTANCE of an ACCURATE BIRTH TIME IN ASTROLOGY

Your birth time is of the most critical importance in the calculation of a correct birth chart. With the birth time the astrologer (or program) is able to locate the planets in relationship to their position around the earth, most notably the relationship of the planets to the Horizon & Verticle Meridian. By locating the planets in the twelve houses of astrology, their influence is able to be referenced to a specidfic department of life. This has far reaching consequences for how one expeiriences Personal Life Cycles, as the various cycles of the planets will be associated with these different departments of life in a unique and personal way. It is WELL WORTH THE EFFORT to AQUIRE YOUR !ACCURATE!BIRTH TIME if you do not have it already. Every 4 minutes a new degree rises on the horizen and alters the chart accordingly. Many times you can count on a parent for accurate data of the birth time. Sometimes you cannot. The written record is always good to refer to for events long past. However, not all birth records are accurate just because they were written down. Sometimes they are a few minutes off or perhaps have the wrong day but the right time. Each needs to be reviewed independantly.

Virgo August 23 - September 22

A sharp tongue and an even sharper wit are your calling cards, and this year you will be making many special deliveries. For the most part, you are good with words and communication, but you must take notice that oftentimes your meaning may become twisted in the message. Always think about your audience, and carefully consider the best way to present your ideas to different crowds. For Virgo's born toward the end of the Sign, January and February will be months of solidifying long-term, positive relationships. Wedding bells ring, contracts bind, and hearts fall hopelessly in love during the first quarter of the year. In February especially, romantic couples will share a memorable vacation, or otherwise enjoy one another's company tremendously. As the calendar flips toward June, your mind will wander toward financial concerns. In this instance, your resources will become more useful and more profitable if you make investments with a like-minded group. Sharing resources means that everyone will share in the wealth. You could have very good luck in dealing with other people's money. From March through the end of the year, you'll want to take extra care with any travel or vacation plans. Remaining flexible is key, and making reservations that can change with your needs is also a smart idea. What you may have thought was going to be a frivolous, light-hearted jaunt might turn out to be a major learning experience. Weigh your intentions and your choice of traveling partners very heavily. Rather than globe trotting, you may want to focus more on your career, as April and May promise some great achievements and recognition in the workplace. Take advantage of the opportunities and networking in front of you, and jump at the chance to prove your many strengths and discuss your ideas. Promotions are on the horizon, and you are scaling the corporate ladder by leaps and bounds. Friends step into a new light around May, and you come to see their value, rather than just their companionship. Demands on your time will loosen and you will be enjoying yourself once again. The friends that stick by you will be friends for life. Take a moment to celebrate them and to tell them how you really feel. Happy Birthday to You, Virgo! August and September are full of high energy and good fortune, and the day to commemorate your birth will be full of the magic and sparkle you seek. Others can't get enough of your pleasant conversation. If you've been considering a move, whether it's around the corner or across the globe, now is a good time to make the change. Even a subtle improvement, like a new set of curtains or a fresh paint job for the home, could make all the difference. As the holidays approach, this will be a romantic time for Virgo. From October onward, you can expect more than one head to be turning in your direction. Love and bliss are yours for the plucking, and you can expect this tide of good feelings to carry over into the new millennium.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

This year begins as an era of change, evolution, and growth for the Bull. A sudden and drastic change in careers may seem like the most natural thing in the world. Mars is the Planet of Assertion, and this take-charge attitude will stay with you for most of the year. Though this Planet's influence can make you a sharp-tongued debater and fighter, it is also likely that it could cause some strife between you and the people in your personal and professional life. Really put forth the effort this year to channel that energy correctly. If you take the right precautions and use the right tactics, you will be stronger and closer to your goals in the end. In January, knowing the right people will bring you fortunate circumstances and an inch above the rest. Strongly take into consideration the advice and criticisms of your closest allies, as what they are giving you will be a great asset, even if it's not totally obvious from the beginning. Extending a little trust will pay off. Lots of good luck will be coming your way for the first half of the year. Heaps of opportunity and good tidings are in the offing. Be thankful for this string of great coincidences, and remember to repay your debt by being kind and helpful to others who lack your happy-go-lucky attitude. In March, the season of your attitude may start to change. Saturn, the Planet of Responsibility and Hard Work, enters your Sign, so you may find yourself with more to worry about than usual. Times may be trying, as this may be a period that will test both your physical and mental endurance. Frustration won't be a stranger to you. However, if you make the right decisions and pay attention to the details, you will come out stronger, more alert, and more confident than ever before. As April rolls around, you'll find that you have developed a great knack for getting what you want quickly and easily. You have mastered the skills necessary to motivate people, either individually or in groups. Effective leadership becomes second nature. Finances are also looking good around this time of year, but you may be easily spending it all as quickly as it comes in. Relationships come into the spotlight in June, and you might be accused of being too picky in your tastes and decisions. Consider cutting someone close-to-perfect a little bit of slack. July brings another grand dose of good fortune, so embrace every opportunity offered to you, as you can never quite know what could result. With the eclipse in August and throughout the month of September, it is important to take extra special caution with planned activities. Don't commit to anything that's 'non-refundable', and read the fine print before signing your name to any transaction. If you are handling the finances of other people, do not make any harsh or irreparable investments. Sway to the side of conservative for the time being. That romance that may be brewing comes to a head in October. Everything this time of year is all about indulgence...chocolates, flowers, and bubble baths are putting you in a very good mood. As Venus passes through your Sector, others will find you irresistible, but you must act accordingly and responsively or you could get burnt. You can expect these feelings of romantic bliss to continue until the end of the year. The December season will be enjoyable for the most part, but you are likely to have some communication difficulties. Watch your words carefully, as you could offend someone despite your best intentions. Make certain that you convey exactly what you feel, and keep in mind that how you say it is as important as what you say.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 21

The pendulum could swing to the extreme for you this year, Sag, and unexpected changes and new beginnings challenge you and make you stronger. Those born in the first half of the Sign will really experience the effects and effervescence of creative living, and you will feel alive and invigorated in the end. Don't fear change, as the only way to open a new door may be to close a window. Rejuvenation and fresh starts offer new opportunities for development, but you've got to expect a bit of uneasiness and stress while the transformation takes place. The Archer will want to take extra care with their health in 1999. Maintain your best regime of healthy food and exercise and you will feel spry and refreshed. You should also know your limits; pushing yourself beyond your abilities could leave you withered and flat. Do what you can and set goals to meet for another day. February through June will reflect the good luck that Jupiter brings as it passes through your Sector. This Planet brings a harmonious influence to your Fire Sign, and you should embrace all viable opportunities that come your way. This is a good time to make a commitment or to solidify legal affairs, as the Stars are favorably placed. Business partnerships and personal relationships are reaching new apexes of efficiency and balance, and you should take advantage of these resources while the time is right. Signing on the dotted line promises a brilliant future. Lots of energy flows in and around you in August and September.

Pisces February 20 - March 20

Other sudden changes may occur in your career. It is quite likely that around April you will submit to a completely different career change. Jumping from one field into something unrelated will bring with it a whole new set of challenges and priorities. If this is a plan that's been in the making for a while, now is your chance to grab the opportunity before it flies by. If you haven't been plotting to leave your job, someone may try to steal you away. Venus enters your Sign in May, and you will fall under the spell of romance. You are deeply affected by the love you feel, and you swear that this time it is for real. The second half of 1999 is all about communication. Suddenly, you are in a position where your words affect a lot of people on a daily basis. You are responsible for the medium, the message and the motivation of the reader. Overwhelmed by this feeling of power that you now have, it's important that you consider what you say very carefully, as you are in a unique position to make things happen. In September, work could become hectic, and getting across your ideas and meeting deadlines is more important than ever before. Rise to this challenge, Pisces, and the tension and frustration you encounter will soon subside. The end of the year rings in a new millennium, and Pisces is ready to face the change after a year full of successfully meeting new challenges. December will bring with it a bit of romance, to boot, and hand-in-hand with that someone special, you are facing forward and diving in.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

The Twins may be at a crossroads this year, and you could benefit from some sound Astrological advice. Finding yourself ripe with romantic desires, you are more assertive in this department than you've been in a long while. Whatever (or whomever!) you want is yours, and you are riding on the wave of a very assertive, confident, and powerful spell. Getting what you want and being incredibly direct aren't generally common areas for you to excel in, so you are enjoying this time in the driver's seat. Other things to keep in mind this year include not stepping on everyone's fingers and toes on your climb to the top. Remember that it is the people beneath you who are holding up the pyramid, and to shun them brings you closer to your own failure. When planning travel throughout the year, try to maintain as much flexibility as you can. Itineraries may not go exactly to plan every time, and sometimes tangents and back roads can be the most exiting highlight of a trip. Stay in touch with your surroundings, and don't put too much of a burden on yourself. Remain open to odd suggestions and fleeting opportunities. Everything may not always go your way, but it is unlikely that you will get bored. Fluctuations may occur in your day-to-day cast of characters. There may be some great changes made in the roles of the people who are closest to you, either personally or professionally. You may be forced to get along with someone new, or perhaps some long-standing ties will be severed. This is a period of new starts and fresh beginnings for everyone involved. Turning your focus inward and maintaining your own strengths and well-being will prepare you for these new adjustments. In January and February, your friends may become more of a liability than an asset. Other people are demanding more of your time and efforts than you feel comfortable giving. Take these requests in stride and make your feelings known, bluntly but kindly. Time will take care of some situations. Around this same time period you will be experiencing bliss in your career development or current employment status. A raise, a promotion, or increased benefits will fall into your favor. Pat yourself on the back! You deserve it. As the Planets shift around March through June, your perspective on the friends in your life will change. You're feeling more philanthropic in general, and the friends who were once dragging you down are now a great asset to you with their stellar advice and support to help you achieve your goals. April will really be a time for you to shine, so The Twins had better make the most of it. People are listening to what you have to say, so choose your phrasing and your battles carefully. You are at the center of every social instance, and other people are stunned at your charm and your wit. In the game of life, you are winning, and your energy level is about as high as it can be. Partnerships fall center stage again around September and October. This time, everyone is working out a compromise that is comfortable for all those involved. Mutual growth, development and a stronger closeness are everyone's gifts for learning how to get along. In November and throughout the end of the year, you are riding the crest of love and appreciation for love and humanity. Spirits are high, and you are enjoying yourself and life's offerings immensely. Have a good time, and seize a moment or two to be thankful for the wonderful year and the turn of the new millennium. The Twins may be at a crossroads this year, and you could benefit from some sound Astrological advice.

You're feeling more philanthropic in general, and the friends who were once dragging you down are now a great asset to you with their stellar advice and support to help you achieve your goals.

Aries March 21 - April 19

The Ram trudges forward in 1999 with the same straightforward, head first attitude with which you approach everything. You can expect to be working hard, but there will be many rewards to show for your valiant efforts. As a critical voice behind the scenes, Aries will shoulder a lot of responsibility, especially those who are born in the third week of April. Friendship will also take center stage, and many people will need you by their side. Don't let the people who you are close to you fall out of your radar; making the extra effort to keep everyone together will make a difference. Remind those that you're close to to take extra special care with their health and physical well-being. February promises a little break time, and you deserve it! Relax, but don't allow yourself to become comatose. Special needs surrounding financial matters may pop into the forefront, and you've got to be ready to take charge. Take extra caution with other people's money. From March and lingering on until the end of the year, you should put aside some of your assets for a rainy day. Whether or not there's rain, there are increased chances of lightning striking at your heart strings, as the possibility of a serious romance is quite likely. Through June, Jupiter will be passing through your Sign, bringing with it fleeting good luck and good fortune. Take advantage of all great opportunities that roll your way, as it's unusual how quickly all this will pass. From June through August, the Ram is red hot with romance. Heading toward the end of the year from September onward, those financial issues that have been lurking in the shadows suddenly step center stage. The money you don't have suddenly becomes more important than the money you do have. The powers that be may not be as friendly as they could be. Around this time of year, you are also itching to get moving. A kinetic opportunity to do something or to go somewhere else presents itself, and you are tempted. Sincerely consider the sacrifices you'll have to make. Is it an even trade off? In October, issues surrounding coupling and partnership, both personal and professional, will be nagging you. Choose the company you keep carefully, and don't agree to anything without a proper contract. As the end of the year rolls around again, you are thinking of your professional development and your career in November. Moving onward and making plans for the future are a top priority. Rams born toward the end of April will enjoy a double helping of romantic interludes in December. Festive indulgence is key as you are feeling fit and back on your feet.

September 1999

SEPTEMBER - Mars is still visible with Antares low in the western sky after dusk. Jupiter and Saturn rise late in the evening and command the sky.
