What is Astrology?
Astrology has been defined in various ways, one such example being 'the study of the synchronistic interaction of the psyche and its reflection in
the physical world' amongst many others. Basically it is the belief that the arrangement of the constellations, stars and planets at the time
of a person's birth sets a predetermined pattern in that person's life.
The word 'zodiac' comes from the Greek 'zoe' (animal, or life) and 'diskos' (wheel). There are twelve signs of the zodiac, one for each
month of the year. These signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and
Pisces. Each of these signs attributed to the zodiac has a colour, a precious stone, a
planet
and an
element
(fire, water, earth or air) assigned to it as one of its attributes. The planets reflect the archetypal references (which exist as ideas) that
are inherent in the 'Multiverse' (many layered universe) holographically. These
archetypes
were refined in delineation by the renowned psychologist, Carl Jung. These 'ideas' are supposedly reflected in all that we see around us
because we are 'one with the universe' and, as such, are that reality. A poem relating to the zodiac can be read from my
Poetry page.

Aries
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and hails the spring equinox, March 21. Thus it also hails the beginning of the new zodiacal year and,
as such, it means new beginnings. As the first sign in the zodiac, Arians want to start new projects and 'lead the way'.
The sign for Aries is the Ram, and in spring young rams are adventurous and impulsive, full of
boundless energy, just like those born under its sign. Arians love a challenge. They are pioneering and love freedom, and as such
are courageous leaders, who care for all those subordinate to them, but unswerving in their objectives. Because they like to lead, they do
not make very good followers, being unwilling to obey orders or directions for which they can see no purpose or reason. They are egoistic,
and usually very concerned with gratifying their own needs.
In personal relationships Arians are usually frank and very direct, and tend to be generous friends.
Arians are reputed to have a high sex drive and thus make passionate lovers. However, this sex drive can have a negative side and drive them to
promiscuity, and even 'trick' them into a marriage which could possibly end with disastrous results. But if the marriage is successful with
offspring, Arians make devoted parents, defending their children with their own lives if necessary.
Dislikes
Aries is said to govern the head and thus the brain. Consequently Arians are prone to migraines or headaches in general, sunstroke, and depression. Because of
their tremendous physical commitment they are liable to physical injury, possibly through accidents. Indigestion and nervous disorders
should also be of some concern.
Arians, with their boundless energy, make good athletes, climbers and explorers, probably in outer space in this modern age. Because of their
leadership qualities they would make excellent servicemen, i.e. soldiers, sailors, airmen etc.

Taurus
The Taurean's main characteristics are strength of will, extreme determination and practicality. They are generally dependable, steadfast,
prudent, fair, firm and unshaken when faced with adversities. They are stable, enthusiastic, confident, well-balanced law-abiding
people and lovers of peace, with a strong sense of material values. Being more practical than intellectual the majority of the time, they
tend to become fixed on a theme or subject due to their preference for relying on accepted or known and proven patterns of experience.
They have a love for
the 'good things in life', luxury, pleasure, comfort, good food and the best of wines. Consequently, they may have to resist the temptation
to over indulgence and drunkenness.
In relationships they make true and generous friends, but rarely with those outside their own social status. They are amorous, but not
excessively so, and tend to be sexually straightforward, not given to experimentation in the bedroom. They are faithful, home loving
spouses and make
thoughtful, kind parents. Should anyone offend them they readily become a true enemy, although they soon forgive if their offender
makes an apology and meets them halfway.
Dislikes
Taurus is said to govern the neck and throat. Consequently Taureans need to beware of throat infections, goitre and debilitating
respiratory conditions such as asthma. They are also at risk of rheumatism, as well as diseases of the genitals, womb, liver and
kidneys. Since their bodies are reputed to be prone to physical laziness, Taureans are also prone to weight problems.
Taureans can succeed in almost any profession they choose. They are not afraid of getting their 'hands dirty', being industrious and
good craftsmen. They obey superiors, and as such are reliable, as well as methodical and practical workers. They prefer positions
of responsibility, but
in a routine where there are no deadlines to meet. Banking, insurance, education, medicine, chemistry, industry, architecture, farming and
surveying are professions in which Taureans could make good managers.

Cancer
Cancerians make very loyal friends and are doggedly patriotic. In personal relationships they are a mixture of toughness and softness, often emotional and romantic, but, nevertheless, remaining extremely loyal to their partners and family. They are greatly influenced by the ones they love, giving much and asking for little in return.
