The Art Of Astrology Handbook

Just as there is a side of the Moon which we never see, whose hidden half is as potent a factor in causing the ebb and flow of the earth's tide as the part of the Moon which is visible, there is an invisible part of man which exerts a powerful influence in life.

THE ART OF ASTROLOGY HANDBOOK

Chances are you have, at one time or another, picked up a daily newspaper and glanced at your horoscope. Maybe what you read fit your day to a tee and you thought "WOW, this horoscope stuff is for real", or maybe it was partially right and you thought "it's so general that it could fit anyone" or maybe it was dead wrong and you scoffed, thinking "what a load of you know what".
Well, guess what, no matter which of the above categories you fall in to, you are right! For a horoscope to be accurate, an astrologer must have your exact date of birth...Anything else is just a guess!

The planets represent the energies that drive your physical, emotional, mental and intuitional systems. These energies manifest themselves differently depending on the positions of the planets in the signs of the zodiac. Different signs channel the energies into different behavior patterns, which are then recognized as personality traits. With an accurate horoscope you will learn what your best traits are and be able to capitilize on them. So how do you go about getting an accurate horoscope? Well, you can either pay an astrologer to do one (hopefully you find one that knows what they are doing) or you can do your own. That is why this book and the simplified method it contains of making and reading a horoscope in a thoroughly scientific manner has been published, in order to enable anyone who can add and subtract to do the work himself, instead of relying on others.

The Art Of Astrology--How To Make and Read Horoscopes, you will obtain a deeper knowledge of the causes which are operative in life than any professional astrologer who is a stranger can give.
If you are serious about astrology, if you want to learn more about yourself and those around you, if you want to learn what life has in store for you, then this is the book for you.

Signs And Their Significance

          Signs, the Ancient History:

         

               When the ancients noticed the planets moving along the ecliptic path, they also noticed the background of fixed stars behind that path. It would be as though you noticed a background

of billboards around a racetrack. You could tell the positions of the horses around the track just

by identifying the billboards behind each horse. The ancients used the background of fixed stars the same way. They divided their racetrack (the ecliptic) into 12 equal sectors. Each sector was named after the fixed-star group seen in that sector. Aries the ram, etc. The ancients referred to these sectors as the "little zoo", which in Greek is "zodiac".

The Significance of The Signs

The Significance of The Signs

         

          The Significance of The Signs:

         

               The planets represent the energies that drive your physical, emotional mental and intuitional systems. These energies manifest themselves differently depending on the positions of the planets  in the signs of the zodiac. Different signs channel the energies into different behavior patterns, which are then recognized as personality traits. In a word the traits associated with each sign are as follows:

         

              Aries         Outgoing             Taurus      Conservative

              Gemini        Versatile           Cancer      Emotional

              Leo           Authoritative        Virgo       Exacting

              Libra         Helpful                 Scorpio     Determined

              Sagittarius   Optimistic         Capricorn   Cautious

              Aquarius      Independent     Pisces      Impressionable

         

               Every sign falls into a group of signs, either fire, earth, water, and air; depending on

their orientation in the zodiac. These ancient astrologers had associated each  Element with their          temperaments, and each group of elements are at 120 degree angles to each other.

         

          Fire Signs:  Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Enthusiastic, courageous, passionate and impulsive.

          Earth Signs:  Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Practical, materialistic, conservative, and inhibited.

          Air Signs:  Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.  Intellectual, adaptive, impractical, and superficial.

          Water Signs:  Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.  Emotional, sensitive, placid, and susceptible.

         

               These four groups of signs: fire, earth, air, and water, combine to form two major groups that represent two fundamental approaches to life; active and passive. The fire and air signs make up the active or masculine signs, while the earth and water signs make up the passive or feminine signs. It is unfortunate that the ancient astrologers called the active signs masculine and the passive signs feminine.

               Another group of traits occurs among signs that are 90 degrees apart from each other. There are four signs in each group of Qualities , which are cardinal, fixed, or mutable. They suggest the basic kinds of activity a person will be engaged in--getting things started, keeping them going, or steering them in different directions.

         

          Cardinal Signs:  Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn. Initiating, enterprising, ambitious, domineering.

          Fixed Signs:  Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius.  Determined, conventional, organizing, dogmatic.

          Mutable Signs:  Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius.  Adaptable, imaginative, tutorial, critical.

         

         

                

         

Your Rising Sign And Your Scout Planet

               Your Rising Sign:

         

               Your Rising sign is the sign of the zodiac that was just coming up over the eastern horizon at the moment that you were born. If you were born at sunrise, your Rising sign would be the same as your sun sign. That's because the Sun sign tells you what part of the zodiac the Sun was in at that time. Since that was the part of the zodiac rising over the horizon at sunrise, it is also your Rising sign. If you were born a few hours earlier, or a few hours later a different part of the zodiac would be rising or ascending, over the eastern horizon. Another name for your Rising sign is your "Ascendant".

               Your Rising sign is important for two reasons. First like your Sun sign, it serves to establish a basic pattern in your life. Where the Sun establishes your character, or who you really are, your Rising sign determines your personality, or what you show the world as you deal with it.

               Second, it establishes the position of your houses in the zodiac. That's because your Rising sign marks the beginning of your first house . Here are descriptions of the personalities that go with each rising sign:

         

             Aries           Outspoken        Taurus      Timid

             Gemini        Talkative           Cancer      Sympathetic

             Leo              Dignified           Virgo          Shy

             Libra            Charming         Scorpio       Intense

             Sagittarius   Expansive        Capricorn   Serious

             Aquarius      Considerate     Pisces         Idealistic

         

   

             

               Your Scout Planet:

         

               The "Scout Planet" in your natal horoscope is the last planet to come up over the eastern horizon before the Sun comes up. That relationship makes it important because transiting planets

will meet and activate  the Scout Planet just before they meet and activate your natal Sun.
