the
12 Sun Signs of the Zodiac
The
position of the Sun in the Zodiac wheel determines your "Star Sign",
(more properly known as the "Sun Sign") of an individual. This is literally
the zodiac sign that the sun was passing through at the time of your
birth. It is this position that determines whether you need look under
"Aries" or "Pisces" etc. in your newspapers "Star Signs."
The text for each Sun Sign
to the right, for the purpose of simplicity, represents simple "Sun
Sign / Star Sign Astrology" that you will find in countless newspapers
and magazines around the world. You may be typical of your Sun Sign
but the full flavour of your traits, characteristics and trends is dependant
on much more, and this is very unique to each individual or event.
A Professional Astrologer will take into account the effect of all the
planets
in our Solar System, including the Sun and Moon to determine the characteristics
and "path" of an individual, place or an event.
Each
planet in our solar system also passes in turn through the 12 zodiac
astrology signs, so not only could the sun be in Gemini at the time
of your birth making you a Sun Sign Gemini, but the moon could be in
Cancer, venus in Capricorn and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in Aries etc.
etc.
All the Planets plus Sun and Moon are depicted within the Birth Chart.
To an Astrologer they quite literally are the ingredients that make
up the Character of an individual or an event, their strengths and the
way they relate one to another show how they blend to make the ingredients
of your character, life and its possibilities.
Within
this chart, this is understood by the Astrologer in an intuitive and
interpretive way, that requires skill, and is based on thousands of
years of observation and wisdom.
Yet
this is only the start !
Every day and every event stretching way into the future and far in
to your past can have its own chart. By studying the comparison of your
chart to the chart for tomorrow, can be very helpful in determining
what you may be compelled to do next and what you should do, plus importantly
when you will face this. Call it a weather forecast.
Just
as relevant is the comparison of charts going into the past, lessons
learned and all that!
This
does not mean that all things are pre-ordained! The position of the
planets can be predicted with absolute certainty, past present and future.
Astrology provides a "weather forecast" to determine your moods, motivations
and possibilities. By forecasting the sea before you, YOU choose when
to act, and when you should sit quiet. You have the power to live up
to your full potential, making the most of the real opportunities that
come your way, while handling the difficulties in the best way possible.
The
chart of one individual or event can also be compared to the chart for
an other individual or event, this is how you can compare the compatibility
of two individuals in Love or friendship, and also how you can see how
history quite literaly does repeat itself, because it is all based on
observed patterns!
This
then is full blown Astrology, a powerful tool to plan and sort your
life, but NOT a method of ruling your life.
So
you see now that Astrology is considerably more complex than the Sun
signs you have heard about, which are depitced below. Sun Signs do though
give you a beginning to Astrology in an easily digestible form, and
hence its current popularity.
there
is more than Sun Sign Astrology!
So
by now you must have thought that what you have been calling Astrology
as depicted in your Stars is the tip of the iceberg, and if you thought
Astrology was rubbish based upon this limited understanding, then you
need to understand what you are talking about.
To
the right is a list of Sun Signs, with a brief description of their
main characteristics, more correctly they represent the Suns presence
in each Zodiac sign.
Hold
on, there's more....
Every planet and the Moon also will have a position within the Zodiac,
so you have Sun Signs, Moon Signs, Venus signs etc. These are steeped
in meaning for instance the Sun Sign is how you appear to everyone else,
your basic character, the Moon sign is how you feel inside etc etc.
And
then it gets very complex, and hence you need a computer to work out
where all these planets are, and what they are doing, it used to be
done through applied maths and a huge number of charts and it took literaly
months, but that is where we will leave it!
but
Sun Signs are easy !
The
Sun Signs to the right have characteristics, each is depicted in brief,
click on the "glyph" or picture next to each for a fuller description
of that Sun Signs character.
On
the page that opens you will find the initial summary for each Sun Sign,
this is biased towards Love and Friendship.
The
bright and dark sides for each Sun Sign show the "two sides of the coin"
in each individual.
The
compatibility's are general for each sign, again bear in mind that it
takes a full set of planets to "flavour" both individuals, and it is
the full interaction of these two sets of planets and charts that determines
whether two individuals "get on" in love, friendship and work.
Your
opposite sign is literally the sign opposite to you on the Zodiac wheel,
but that personality is also someone you can learn a lot from, someone
you may not completely see eye to eye with, but who in a strange way
is an other side to you and what you can become, they are as the Chinese
would say YIN to your YANG.
So you are beginning to see that everything works in circles, and there
is much truth in the old saying: "what goes around, comes around".
The
personalities chosen to represent each sign are in no way derogatory,
the first is a fictitious character who displays the traits of a typical
sun sign, while the second two are people you will have heard of, who
happen to be that Sun Sign.
Go
on, take a look at the basic you... and then some people you know.
