Does Knowing Your Moon Sign Information Help You Understand Yourself?
In describing character qualities, pop culture Astrology deals with Sun Sign descriptions as a matter of convenience. Almost everybody knows his birthday, and from that, he can almost always find himself in one of the Sun Sign categories that describe the creative personalities of humankind. But the Sun is only one of 10 celestial elements in a basic horoscope.nnGranted, the Sun's position is important ... and granted the fact that it's usually nice and easy to locate in one

Why Sun Sign Astrology Sometimes Misses The Mark
Some people think Astrology begins and ends with a Sun Sign description of your personality -- a list of qualities, characteristics, and possible short-comings that may seem assigned to you essentially at random based on the day you were born -- a day when, of course, the Sun was traveling through a certain, often easily-determined, sign of the Zodiac. That then becomes your Sun Sign -- and dime-store astrology seems to imply you're stuck with it.nnYour Sun Sign position is w

Do You Recognize Yourself In Your Sun Sign Description?
There are some people who, in all sincerity, look at the list of traits and qualities assigned to them by their astrological Sun Sign ... and say the description just doesn't fit them. Sure, some of them are smug and pleased to have confirmed their belief that astrology is a bunch of hokum, which is what they thought from the start. But others say rather wistfully, "I'm not a typical Libra," or "I must not be a real Pisces." nnAnd in the tone of their voice I hear the disappo

Your Moon Sign -- What Is It And Why Is It Important?
In Astrology, the Moon represents your emotions, your inner self, your instincts, habits, and reactions. The sign it occupied when you were born is your Moon Sign in your horoscope. Your Moon Sign describes character traits, feelings, and personal responses that are very familiar to you. In fact, it's common for people to relate to their Moon Sign qualities far more than their Sun Sign characteristics when finally they learn, through research, by having their Natal Chart inte

The Scorpio Character -- The Eighth Sign Of The Zodiac
Scorpios have extremely important work to do in life, so I suppose it's only fair to indulge them for being so reserved and solitary. It's not easy being the most powerful sign in the Zodiac. All that potential is a tremendous responsibility. The contributions Scorpio makes, generation after generation, to the progress of humankind are undeniable ... and crucially important. Scorpio has tremendous access to vision and wisdom and a natural talent for using fundamental creative

The Libra Character -- The Seventh Sign Of The Zodiac
Libras don't do well as "singles." They feel incomplete without "another half" in their life -- meaning another person to whom they feel profoundly connected, with whom they feel intimately "involved." They deeply feel the need for other people in their lives, and so a well-functioning Libra will also be well-skilled in all the little social graces and interpersonal courtesies the make relationships work smoothly for everyone concerned.nnLibras feel adrift and unfocused witho

The Celestial Event Of the New Moon
In both astronomy and astrology, the celestial phenomenon known as the New Moon occurs at the exact moment the Sun and the Moon occupy precisely the same point in the sky-map of the Zodiac -- the same degree and minute of arc in a particular sign. In Astrology, this aspect of alignment is known as a conjunction.nnWe often speak colloquially of the New Moon as that tiny sliver of light in the night sky that will progress over the next month to create the bright circle of the F

The Path of the Mystic
There are reasons why the better writers, teachers, and mystics offer at least a word or two of caution to the novices who toy with the notion of exploring the mystical path through occult studies, dabbling in rituals and magick, and opening their minds through other avenues and interests to experience the "something more" they sense is out there -- just beyond the veil of illusion we call reality. We all sense that "something more" ... even if it's just in the elementary and

The Virgo Character -- The Sixth Sign Of The Zodiac
I will try to keep this brief. I know how Virgos like efficiency. Work and service are their passions. They'll find it -- or at least what they define as it -- even if they have to make it up. A Virgo in his heart of hearts wants to be useful. Virgos can be the most selfless, dedicated, indefatigable workers in the world.nnThey run errands, they finish chores, they do favors, they tidy up, they fuss over things -- as a way of showing they care. Taking care of all the mundane

Can Astrology Tell The Future?
Can Astrology tell the future? Well, yes, actually it can. But not in the cut-and-dried way many people would like to use it. It won't tell you when you're going to win the lottery. (Let's face it. The almost-certain answer to that one is "Never." No, not ever ... put it from your mind, save your money. There are reasons why people joke that the lottery is a tax on people who are really, really, really bad at math.) It won't tell you if that cute guy who hit on you last night

The Dark Of The Moon -- A Natural Time Of Magic And Creation
The Dark of the Moon is considered an especially mysterious, fruitful, and flexible time of "molding" the creative experiences that will come forth in the weeks immediately ahead. It is said that wishes made as the last sliver of the Moon's light fades on the left, and affirmed through the Dark of the Moon period until the first sliver of new light appears again on the right, have special support -- special empowerment -- to come true. Affirming them again at the moment of th

The Energy Of The Sun -- Interpreting The Symbolism of The Sun In Astrology
The Sun symbolizes your basic personality. The Zodiac sign it is in describes the "essential qualities" of your character. This sign is also the easiest one to find. You probably already know it. It's what you mean when you tell someone "I'm an Aries," or "I'm a Capricorn," or "I'm a Pisces."nnAstrologers consider that your Sun sign describes your core personality ... and many will say it is the most important sign you have, although that's not entirely correct.
