Horoscopes
A
Horoscope is also often called a Birth Chart; and the word "Horoscope"
is used in popular culture to refer to the individual zodiac element
text predicting feelings and a period of future events that is printed
by newspapers, magazines and web sites.
The
Horoscope text is interpreted by an Astrologer who will draw a Horoscope
(Birth Chart) relating to a period of time and a particular SunSign.
Often a specialised Computer program will have been used that calculates
the position of all the planets and their inter-relationships, sometimes
the program is used to directly work out the text of the "Horoscope".
But this will never be as accurate, gifted or human as a real Astrologer
doing the interpretation, but its a damned useful tool when you have
a lot of work!
how
can it be accurate ?
The
positions of the planets at any time way back in history, currently
or at virtually any time in the future can be predicted with amazing
accuracy because they follow long observed and regular cycles.
It
is the position of the planets and their inter-relationships that is
used to form an interpretation of their meaning, this is where all Astrologers
use long passed down information and a certain degree of intuition.
I
believe that it is the intuition part of Astrology that bears striking
resemblance to other forms of divination such as Tarot, Psychic Readings
and Chinese Astrology, these are but the tools, it is the human with
the skills who does all of the really amazing things!
the
12 elements of the Zodiac
SunSigns and StarSigns refer to exactly the same thing, but the proper
name is SunSign.
The
position of the Sun in the Zodiac wheel determines the "SunSign" of
an individual. It is this position that determines whether you need
look under "Aries" or "Pisces" etc. in your newspapers "StarSigns."
The text for each SunSign to the right, for the purpose of simplicity,
represents simple "SunSign Astrology" that you will find in countless
newspapers and magazines around the world. You may be typical of your
SunSign but the full flavour of your traits, characteristics and trends
is dependent 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.
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 literally 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 SunSigns you have heard about, which are depicted below. SunSigns do though
give you a beginning to Astrology in an easily digestible form, and
hence its current popularity.
More ....
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 SunSigns, 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 SunSigns, MoonSigns, VenusSigns etc. These are steeped
in meaning for instance the Sun Sign is how you appear to everyone else,
your basic character, the MoonSign 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 literally
months, but that is where we will leave it!
The
SunSigns to the right have cartain main characteristics, eachone is
depicted in brief, click on the "glyph" or picture next to each for
a fuller description of that SunSigns character.
On
the page that opens you will find the initial summary for each SunSign,
this is biased towards Love and Friendship.
The
bright and dark sides for each SunSign 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 SunSign.
Go
on, take a look at the basic you... and then some people you know.
