Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

Cancer is the fourth Sign of the Zodiac. After the exploration of Self, the physical world, and the intellectual world by the first three Signs, Cancer people turn to nurturing the family group. They are emotional and traditional, interested in heredity and ancestors, and this is reflected in their desire to care for relatives and propagate the family line. Their lives are generally centered around the home, including hereditary property and "family roots." As the fourth Sign, Cancer also rules the fourth House: the House of Home. The Astrological Symbol of Cancer is the Crab. Like the Crab, Cancerians go through life with a strong shell around them that is not easily broken. If necessary, they can retreat into their shell until it's safe to come out, but sometimes they become moody and refuse to leave. They can, quite literally, be crabby. In general, Cancerians are the first people to express emotion in any given situation -- the first to laugh and the first to tears. In this way, Cancer exemplifies the Cardinal Quality assigned to it. They are strong willed and persistent, and the rare occasions when their sympathy and kindness doesn't get them what they want they aren't above using emotional manipulation -- tears or sulking -- to get it. Within the Zodiac, Cancer is opposite Capricorn, the Sign of Social Status. While Capricorn is about how the world perceives you, people born under Cancer are more interested in their family and home life. They tend to be very protective of loved ones. They usually aren't ambitious, preferring the gentle and passive side of life. Cancer is ruled by the Moon. In ancient times, the Moon was perceived as the Great Mother, responsible for nurturing all life. It represents fertility and instinct. The Moon controls the tides and all water on Earth, and it has a strong effect on human emotions. People born under Cancer tend to be more sensitive to the movement of the Moon through the Zodiac than other Signs are, their moods changing with the Moon's passage. They may be brooding or touchy when the Moon is passing through incompatible Signs, but strongly intuitive when the Moon is in a favorable Sign. Because of the maternal aspect of the Moon, Cancerians tend to have a strong need to protect themselves and their families. Generally domestic and peaceful, they have strong emotional drives and won't sit still when loved ones are threatened. Despite their general timidity, they can be patronizing when people cross them. The Element associated with Cancer is Water. Water Signs are emotional: they tend to respond to the world through emotion, rather than physical action, practicality, or intellect. Cancerians are very intuitive, and emotion is a key part of their lives. They may be sentimental, often becoming collectors of things that remind them of family or the past. They need to be careful not to hoard things, however, and they can be possessive of what is theirs. They are thrifty, and dislike wasting money on frivolous things. Because of their strong emotions, people born under Cancer may tend to live in the past. They are easily hurt, so they attempt to protect themselves from the emotional stress of the present by rehashing the past instead. Their warm and caring nature is very sensitive to other people's harshness. It is important for Cancerians to learn not to jump into self-protective mode at the first sign of trouble, because their need for security can prevent them from discovering new things. Because they are the nurturers of the Zodiac, people born under Cancer have a strong association with food. Additionally, they are very imaginative and sensitive, making many Cancerians excellent amateur chefs. Some go on to make a career out of cooking! They also tend to be more patriotic then other Signs, largely due to their strong emotional attachment to the place of their birth. In their leisure time, Cancerians tend to enjoy physical exercise, finding that sweat helps them counter the stress inherent in their emotional natures. They often enjoy team sports because of the feeling of family within a team. Water sports also appeal to them. Artistic endeavors, written or on canvas, allow them to channel their swirling emotions into productive output. In love relationships, Cancer is caring, devoted, and romantic. Cancer rules the breasts and stomach. People born under Cancer may suffer from stomach and digestive problems more often than people born under other Signs. The Moon is silver and white, and these are Cancer's colors as well. The great strength of the Cancer-born is in their devotion to family. Their emotional orientation to life help them understand the difficulties their loved ones must work through. Their affectionate natures make them among the most caring characters of the Zodiac.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Gemini is the third Sign of the Zodiac. Moving beyond the physical exploration of Taurus, Gemini examines the world through intellect. They are fascinated with gathering as much information as possible, and their facility as communicators -- both written and verbal -- arises from this need. Bright and quick-witted, people born under Gemini display great imagination and tend to be very expressive. They love to learn. As the third Sign, Gemini also rules the third House: the House of Communication. The Astrological Symbol of Gemini is the Twins. Like twins, Geminis often have a dual nature and are skilled at seeing both sides of a problem, but they may also be fickle and restless. They are changeable and sometimes noncommittal. In this way, Gemini exemplifies the Mutable Quality assigned to it. They are adaptable and able to tackle multiple tasks simultaneously, and they know how to reason with people, but they may lack follow-through or seem ungrateful. Within the Zodiac, Gemini is opposite Sagittarius, the Sign of Philosophy. While Sagittarius tends to have one major interest that is studied deeply, Gemini people tend to have many different interests they study in less detail. They love to learn, and are analytical and versatile, but their study may be more superficial than in-depth. Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury. In ancient Roman mythology, Mercury (and his Greek equivalent, Hermes) was the Messenger God. He was associated with travel and transportation. He was a communicator, quick-witted and inventive, but he could also be a smooth-talker and get bored easily. As a Planet, Mercury is androgynous; Gemini is the masculine (or day) half and Virgo the feminine (or night). Both Signs rule by words and logic, not emotion: Gemini is interested in communication as a way of making friends and learning, while Virgo is more focused on the analytical side, understanding what people are really saying. Mercury's role as communicator is exemplified in Gemini. People born under the Twins are charming and congenial, and they often have many friends and acquaintances in all areas of their lives. If they aren't careful, they may appear to be scheming or gossipy. Their facility in adapting to new challenges may seem like opportunism. Their interest in numerous subjects shows they are adaptable and curious, but they may seem like they lack concentration of have difficulty making decisions. Geminis who learn to focus and use their intellect in one area, instead of fidgeting, tend to be very successful. The Element associated with Gemini is Air. Air Signs are intellectual: they tend to respond to the world through intellect, rather than physical action, practicality, or emotion. When presented with a new project, their mental abilities kick in and they join the group enthusiastically. While they don't tend to be leaders, their facility for abstract reasoning and broad-minded outlook enables Geminis to make strong contributions to projects they work on. Their logic and objectivity may help them see past roadblocks caused by emotional conflicts among others, but their intellectual orientation may seem cold and impractical to some. It is important for Geminis to learn that their love of knowledge can be compromised by their short attention span, but their awareness and intellectual approach to life can assist them. As the Twins, Gemini is the Sign of brothers and sisters as well as communication. They often remain youthful and lighthearted for their whole lives. Cars and short trips are also ruled by this Sign, and many Geminis are mechanically inclined. They are more likely to be ambidextrous than other Signs, and can be inconsistent. Because they are "of two minds," people born under Gemini may tend to shift interests and seem scattered and high-strung. Their many interests, however, makes them entertaining and stimulating conversationalists with a carefree and unpredictable twist. In their leisure time, Geminis tend to enjoy pairing up with a partner for recreation. They often have a fondness for tennis. Their love for conversation ensures that leisurely dinners with friends are highly enjoyable for them, and their inquisitive and literary orientation means they enjoy mentally challenging pursuits as well. In love relationships, Gemini is caring, flirtatious, and playful. Gemini rules the collarbone, the arms and hands, the lungs, and the nervous system. People born under Gemini may suffer from wrist problems, such as carpal-tunnel syndrome, respiratory ailments, and nervous conditions more often than people born under other Signs. Gemini's colors are yellow and sky blue, the color of Air. The great strength of the Gemini-born is in their intellectual and conversational skills. They can analyse difficult ideas and communicate them clearly to others. Their many interests put them among the most fascinating characters of the Zodiac. What Signs are Gemini compatible with?

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)

Taurus is the second Sign of the Zodiac. Moving beyond the birth and first realization of Self represented by Aries, Taurus begins to physically explore the world. As such, possessions and physical touch are very important to Taureans. They tend to be richly sensual, enjoying the good things in life and the physical pleasures that come with them. Taurus is the Sign of the Physical. As the second Sign, Taurus also rules the second House: the House of Money and Possessions. The Astrological Symbol of Taurus is the Bull. The term "bull-headed" applies to Taureans in both its positive and negative connotations, and Taurus exemplifies the Fixed Quality assigned to it. They are among the strongest Signs when it comes to getting things done because of their reliable persistence in moving toward completion of projects. On the other hand, they can be very stubborn and argumentative. Within the Zodiac, Taurus is opposite Scorpio, the Sign of group possessions, so Taureans tend to be about personal assets rather than group or family holdings. They can be self-indulgent, even greedy, but they are immensely practical and stable. Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus (and her Greek equivalent, Aphrodite) was the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Pleasure. She represented joy, happiness, and appreciation of beautiful things. On the negative side, her appreciation for sweets and luxury could result in overindulgence, and she could be materialistic. Venus rules both Taurus and Libra. Taurus is the feminine, or night, aspect of Venus; Libra is the masculine, or day. Both Signs have a great appreciation for beauty: Taurus focuses on the beauty of objects, and Libra prefers the beauty of other people. Taureans have a great love for culture. It's important to them to feel good. They often maintain extensive art collections are tend to be artistic themselves, sometimes through singing. They enjoy partnership and marriage, and use their charm -- as well as their focused perseverance -- to work toward harmony and personal security. Their sentimental, loyal, and romantic nature is sometimes wounded when they are contradicted or given orders. The Element associated with Taurus is Earth. Earth Signs are practical: they tend to respond to the world by examining the worth of each possible response, rather than through physical action, intellect, or emotion. One of their great skills is their ability to follow through and complete projects that others may have abandoned through boredom or because it was too difficult. Taureans are extremely patient and dependable. Their ambition ensures that they are both hardworking and helpful to others. Because of their association with Earth and their general focus on building things, many Taureans are skilled gardeners. Taureans tend to be even tempered and solid citizens. Their need for physical pleasure can lead to an overemphasis on money and possessions to the point of materialism, but their innate conservatism ensures that they are cautious and practical rather than extravagant. They may be more focused on status than they should be, and they may be perceived as snobs. However, despite their opinionated appearance, they tend to be tolerant and gentle, and they are always dependable. In their leisure time, Taurus tends to enjoy outdoor activities that allow them to get close to the Earth. They often enjoy hiking. Like the Bull, they tend to be strong and well-built, and may enjoy tests of strength. Conversely, their appreciation of art and culture sends them to the opera and exclusive galleries. In love relationships, Taurus is devoted, romantic, and sometimes jealous! Taurus rules the neck and throat. People born under Taurus may suffer from sore throats, coughs, and strained neck muscles more often than people born under other Signs. Brown and other earth tones are Taurean colors, exemplifying their quiet and earthy nature. The great strength of the Taurus-born is their stability and perseverance. Their methodical determination enables them to be productive when other people have long since given up. They are among the most dependable characters of the Zodiac.

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac. It represents birth and the first realization of Self. Aditionally, because it represents the beginning of the Astrological year, people born under this Sign like to get things started. They tend to display strong leadership, and their extroverted and assertive natures let them lead off the new cycle eagerly. They are the pioneers of the Zodiac, tramping courageously into the wilderness. Aries is the Sign of new beginnings. They are dynamic and active, as befits the beginning of the Astrological cycle. As the first Sign, Aries also rules the first House: the House of Self, also known as the House of Personality. The Astrological Symbol of Aries is the Ram. Like the popular conception of the Ram, Aries people are able to accomplish many things by sheer energy and force of will: "ramming" their way to their goals. In this way, Aries exemplifies the Cardinal Quality assigned to it. Arians can be blunt, and they are bold and strong. Within the Zodiac, Aries is opposite Libra, the Scales of Balance, so Aries tend to be about self and ego rather than the balance between people. They are self-contained, and sometimes selfish, but they are not loners. Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars. In ancient Roman mythology, Mars (and his Greek equivalent, Ares) was the God of War. He was bold, aggressive, energetic, and courageous. On the negative side, he was impulsive and compulsive, quick-tempered, and he could give in to anger and a will for destruction. Mars rules both Aries and Scorpio; Aries is the masculine (day) aspect of Mars and Scorpio is the feminine (night). Both Signs are associated with war: Aries is on the front lines and Scorpio is the strategist. Mars was active and high-spirited, full of physical energy and vitality; and the Aries-born reflect his leadership and initiative. They are strongly independent and determined, and have the physical stamina to stay their course. They tend to be very competitive, and may sometimes seem arrogant, domineering, or intolerant. But all these qualities make Aries the natural choice to initiate projects and get things started. They are adept at "taking the ball and running with it," and projects tend to progress quickly under their guidance. But a well-run project may become boring for Aries, and they can lack follow-through and lose interest before it's completed. Many successful Aries learn to discipline themselves to see their projects through to completion. The Element associated with Aries is Fire. Fire Signs are physical: they tend to respond to the world through action, rather than practicality, intellect, or emotion. When presented with a new project or idea, their innate enthusiasm and need for challenge cause them to jump in right away, leading the way. One of their great skills is reaching beyond normal limitations. Occasionally their tendency for haste and hurry can get them into trouble if they don't think things through carefully enough, and this can lead to frustration. At times, people can think they are brash, rude, and inconsiderate. But Aries is only doing what the Ram's nature tells them to do. As soon as they discover a new project, all else is forgotten! Arians tend to want what they want and when they want it. Aries need to accept that this isn't always possible, and stop butting their heads, Ramlike, into the nearest wall. This is a valuable lesson that enables them to develop their understanding of themselves. But because of the ego that can manifest itself in Aries, some Rams may feel that they are the center of the universe. Aries who wish to develop themselves learn that they are part of the larger order of all people. In their leisure time, Aries tend to play as hard as they work at the office. They greatly enjoy athletics, as sports give them a positive and healthy outlet for some of their natural aggression. They appreciate both individual challenge, especially aerobics, as well as the group challenge of football and soccer. Working out some of their great physical energy on the playing field helps them focus better once they return to the office. In love relationships, Aries is playful and romantic. Aries rules the head, face, and brain. People born under Aries may be more susceptible to headaches and nosebleeds than people of other Signs. Red is the color of Mars and is often associated with physical action and war, so it is natural color for Aries. The great strength of the Aries-born is in their energy, initiative, and courage. Their ability to take a project and go with it is unparalleled. The fire they bring to their lives makes them one of the most dynamic characters of the Zodiac.

The 12 Star 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.

What Does Your Horoscope Tell You?

Astrology is about you. It is not an obscure science meant to be understood by a select few. Rather, it's a tool for greater self understanding, allowing you to move through life with a clearer perspective on your experiences and those of the people around you. Real astrology goes far beyond the "Star Sign" astrology that is so prevalent in newspapers and magazines worldwide. Such astrology is far too general to be of any real use to specific people, and it does not do real astrology justice. It is used mainly for entertainment purposes. Astrology is, in fact, based on all of the Planets and the Moon, not just the Sun. A horoscope is a map of the heavens at the exact moment of your birth; it is like a photograph of the sky with all the Celestial Bodies -- the Sun, Moon, and Planets -- in their respective positions. In real astrology, everything is taken into account: the positions of the planets within the Zodiac, as well as their relation to each other and to the Sun and Moon. All of these energies affect you, and in some cases the combined energy of several Bodies can be more powerful than the Sun's position alone and even outweigh its influence. Additionally, no two horoscopes are identical, even for twins; your horoscope is as unique to you as are your fingerprints. Many people are afraid of purchasing a horoscope full of arcane astrological jargon too difficult to understand without a great deal of study or professional help. But a well-written horoscope will explain technical terms in detail providing a clear, plain-English analysis of the chart. True comprehension of your horoscope requires that you understand how the astrological interpretation applies to you! Horoscopes can serve many purposes in your life, whether you believe in them or are more skeptical. Horoscopes can provide personal insight. Reflecting on their meaning, you can learn more about yourself through self-analysis. Horoscopes help you to understand your tendencies, strengths and weaknesses. Skeptics and believers alike can use the horoscope as a jumping-off point for deeper exploration of the Self, examining each point of the horoscope with respect to the truth of what your horoscope claims. Horoscopes have great entertainment value, providing hours of juicy information to talk about with friends, lovers and relatives -- whether you believe it or not! Many people appreciate them as gifts, especially for significant birthdays, weddings, and the birth of children. Horoscopes are useful not only for people; they can shed light on businesses, political events, even pets

About 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!
