Keep Abreast of the Times When thinking of seasons we think in 3′s (i.e. 3 months per season). In the Chinese 12 Animal Ghanzhi System. Years 4, 5 and 6 (Rabbit, Dragon and Snake) can represent early Summer.

Uranus: I was attempting to undo a fatalistic astrologer's prediction around Uranus. No, the prediction wasn't orbiting the distant planet, but for the presumed efficacy, it might well have been. I envisioned this description as short introduction, halved into two parts, but with typically Uranian math, it's likely to be all three. First, the astronomy, straight up, which is part of the problem, most of the solar system moves in an orderly fashion, there is sense and rank, a north pole and a south pole, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. Then comes Uranus. For the sake of illustration, just imagine that Uranus is 90 degrees off from everyone else. It's as if the North Pole of Uranus was pointing at the Sun at all times. The few moons and thin belt of Uranus, they look like objects circling the planet. Strange visual. The hard science is even weirder because, on a clear night with excellent viewing conditions, it is possible to detect Uranus with th...

Each planet has been astronomically classified with a certain nature, feature, and impact on the humans. Similarly, each gemstone associated with each of those planets is of some unique characteristic and holds a certain impact over its bearer. Vedic astrology believes that the positioning of planets and the interrelation of different planets formed at the time of the birth of an individual affects the way of entire life, as well as the nature and attributes of an individual. Sometimes, the positioning of planet(s) is weak or unfavorable, and thus it leads to unpleasant occurrence of situations in one's life. In order to minimize this impact to almost negligible, use of certain gemstones are considered to be effective. This impact has been the result of a close detailed study of the astrological effects of the gemstones. Each gemstone holds some power in it to draw cosmic rays towards it, and then turn them favorable for its bearer. Also, gemstones work as a remedy for elimina...

It is a matter of human nature to have a desire for great experiences in the future, as this is part of a self-preserving temperament mankind needed to flourish and dominate the Earth for about 200,000 years. To give predictions about the future, man has invented the broad field of astrology, which is the study of celestial bodies as related to human personality and affairs as well as naturally occurring events. From this, astrological signs based on the zodiac, commonly referred to as zodiac signs, were developed to represent the twelve equal divisions of the ring of constellations. Interpretations based on these zodiac signs are derived according to the positions of celestial bodies including the Sun, the Moon, and the planets, along with a unique characteristic of the person, such as his birth date. These interpretations came to be known as horoscopes. Getting a free daily horoscope became a guide for many people as they go anticipate each day. What to expect from a horosco...

"Which sign am I compatible with?" This is often the very first question that one asks about astrology. Yet the question can never be given a direct and simple answer. Although some "astrologers" may tell you, you are compatible with such and such sign, it is an over-simplification and only misleads the individual. In actuality, sun sign compatibility is only a small part of the complex art of relationship astrology. We will look at the significance of sun signs and what it means to be compatible in this regard; afterward, we will consider how the zodiac signs relate to one another.
