Astrology
Astrology is defined as the study of heavenly cycles and cosmic events as they are reflected in our earthly environment. And Astrology is as old as measured time. For thousands of years man has recorded the relationships and patterns between the planets and the earth. It is a well-known scientific fact that the gravitational forces of the moon create the rise and fall of tides of the oceans. The Farmers Almanac uses astrology to determine growing cycles and the best time to plant and harvest. From the spawning salmon to the return of the Monarch butterfly, all of these cycles of nature are influenced by the stars and planets - aspects of Astrology. True Astrology is a science based on mathematics and astronomy. It tells the story of where the planets, sun and moon were at the exact moment of our birth and how these placements effect our lives. With extreme accuracy, it is able to break down ones personality, strengths, challenges, potential and more, and give an insight as to what lies ahead. Astrology provides an attitude or approach to life that can allow us to maximize or get more out of it. It can help us to see ourselves and our lives in a greater perspective—the "big" picture that we sometimes only get a glimpse of.

Twelve Zodiac Signs
There are twelve signs of the zodiac , namely, aries, taurus, gemini, cancer, leo, virgo, libra, scorpio, sagittarius, capricorn, aquarius, and pisces—also known as sun signs.

These twelve zodiac signs represent conditions or fields of operation, and have no power in themselves. The signs are thought of as areas of action, and the planets are the action. Also, no one sign is better or worse, nor more or less evolved than another. They are all different and unique.

The individual signs achieve their prominence in an individual chart because of the planets and the lights (the sun and moon) which lie within them. The attributes held by each sign are due to its rulership. Each sign is ruled by a planet , and some signs have a second or co-ruler. The co-ruler has a definite influence on the particular sign, but not as strong as that of the ruler. Each sign additionally has characteristics derived from its element, its quality and its polarity. These characteristics are listed below:

The Four Elements
Fire, earth, water and air are the four elements, and three signs are associated with each element giving rise to the term triplicities. The three fire signs are: aries, leo and sagittarius. The earth signs are: taurus, virgo and capricorn. The water signs are: cancer, scorpio and pisces. The air signs are gemini, libra and aquarius.

The Three Qualities
The three qualities are cardinal, fixed and mutable. Four signs share a quality. Cardinal signs are aries, libra, cancer and capricorn. Fixed signs are taurus, scorpio, leo and aquarius. Mutable signs are gemini, sagittarius, virgo and pisces.

Qualities of the cardinal modality are:
skillful - beginning, initiating, originating, enterprising, direct and active; unskillful – impatient, dissatisfied, does not finish what it starts, forceful.


Qualities of the fixed modality include:
skillful - stabilizing, focused, resolving, constant, determined; unskillful - stubborn, rigid, obsessed, stuck.


Qualities of the mutable modality include:
skillful - adaptable, flexible, adjustable, changing, versatile; unskillful - scattered, unfocused, inconsistent, indecisive and unfinishing.

The Polarities
Lastly, the twelve signs are alternately positive and negative, beginning with the first sign, aries, which is positive. These are known as the polarities.

The Patterns
The pattern of elements and qualities in the astrological signs is constant—every third sign has the same element. Every fourth sign has the same quality. So, each of the twelve signs represents a different combination of element and quality. Signs associated with the same elements are in trine with each other (one hundred and twenty-degree angles between them) which is seen as being in harmony with each other. While signs of the same quality are "squared" meaning there is a ninety-degree angle between them. This traditionally has been termed "out of sympathy" with each other.

The Astrological Planets
The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto are the astrological planets. The planets provide the power, the energy and the principles while the signs are the areas, circumstances and conditions through which they operate.

Planets are coloured by the signs they are in, as well as by that sign's ruler and co-ruler. When a planet is in the sign that it rules, it is said to be in dignity, and when it is in the opposite sign, it is in its detriment.

The Astrological Houses
The horoscope's division into twelve segments - the twelve houses - represents the twelve departments of life:



The First House takes its meaning for the ascendant and represents the self, the people and their behavior. It is linked to aries.


The Second House represents all financial affairs, desires for stability, constructive talents, financial independence and values. It is linked to taurus.


The Third House represents travel, communications, trade, the media, the mind, writing, intellectuals, education, ideas, relatives and speech. It is linked to gemini.


The Fourth House house represents home, family, ethnic pride, the land, wealth, the personal and national soul. It is linked to cancer.


The Fifth House represents self-expression, youth, romance, pleasures, financial speculation, sports, games, children, royalty and nobility. It is linked to leo.


The Sixth House represents public health, work, service industries, civil and military service, labor unions, employees, charities and welfare. It is linked to virgo.


The Seventh House rules international relations, politics, war, disputes, legal affairs, marriage, divorce, contracts and public scandal. It is linked to libra.


The Eighth House rules financial dealings, corporations, taxes, insurance, mortgages, communes, stock markets and debts. It stands for death, rebirth, renewal and the occult. It is linked to scorpio.


The Ninth House rules foreign affairs, trade, distant travels, higher education, philosophy, the law, the courts, the church and prophecy. It is linked to sagittarius.


The Tenth House stands for the government, the executive and public life. It is linked to capricorn.


The Eleventh House represents group cooperation, idealistic associations, government finance, social programs, theater, friends, profitable inventions and hopes for the future. It is linked to aquarius.


The Twelfth House rules karma, secret enemies, prisons, monasteries, hospitals, spirituality, exile, and the search for self-renewal. It is linked to pisces.
Astrology is certainly not all things to all people, but it is not the one paragraph about your horoscope on the comic page of the newspaper. It can and should be used as a helpful guide as we live and make decisions about our life's paths.

A lot of people don't believe that your astrological sign has anything to do with your personality, however I do. My daughter is a prime example of a Sagittarius child. If you are interested check your local bookstore, (Barnes and Nobles etc) they always have books on Astrology. Look for one called Linda Goodman's Sun Signs. (link below to a listing for it on Yahoo Shopping). Look up the sign for your mom or dad or sibling and read what it has to say about the personality of that sign and see how close it matches and then form your own opinion. Some also think that the actual day you are born changes some of the personality traits, in astrology this further break down of the signs are called deacons.
