Libra March 6, 2008
Posted by StarMorgan in : Astrology, Signs of the Zodiac , add a commentThose born under the sign of Libra, the Scales (September 24 to October 23), have a wonderful balance of traits. They’re considered to be diplomatic and urbane, romantic and charming, idealistic and peaceable. Even their darker characteristics aren’t so terrible. They can be flirtatious, easily influenced and indecisive. Curiously, Libra is the only sign of the Zodiac represented by an inanimate object, the Scales. Every other sign is represented by an animal or sea creature or person. (more…)
Virgo
Posted by StarMorgan in : Astrology, Signs of the Zodiac , add a commentVirgo is represented by the Virgin (August 23 to September 22). Virgos are universally considered to be very buttoned-down, methodical and detail-oriented.
Virgo’s are intelligent and analytical, methodical, detail-oriented and precise. They are also dedicated and patient. Usually quiet and shy, Virgo’s can find it difficult to find a partner. Virgo is the only sign of the Zodiac represented by a woman. (more…)
Leo
Posted by StarMorgan in : Astrology, Signs of the Zodiac , add a commentLeos (July 23 to August 22) are among the kings of the zodiac. They are generous and warm-hearted, creative, faithful and loving. They can be prideful and dominant, however. In Greek mythology, Leo was the lion that was killed by Hercules as the first of his 12 chores. Leos are spontaneous and extroverted. Like the king of beasts, they like to be in command and make good leaders. They have strong intelligence and can be philosophical, even religious. (more…)
Cancer
Posted by StarMorgan in : Astrology, Signs of the Zodiac , add a commentThe sign of Cancer (June 22 to July 22) has very little to do with that prickly crustacean the crab, believe it or not. In fact, it’s hard to pin down exactly what constitutes the Cancer personality. The ancient Egyptians perceived Cancer as the sacred scarab. It was a symbol of resurrection and immortality and they often placed a carving of a scarab in the body where the heart had been, as part of the mummification process. (more…)
Gemini
Posted by StarMorgan in : Astrology, Signs of the Zodiac , add a commentGemini, the Twins. Know any Twins? Well if you can imagine them as one person you’ll have an idea of what makes up the personality of a person born under the sign of Gemini (May 22 to June 21). Geminis can be contradictory, people with dualities to their nature that can perplex their friends, families and lovers. They love versatility and change, but can be flighty and changeable to create interest in their lives. They don’t like routine. Decision making can be difficult for them and they can often change their minds. (more…)
Taurus
Posted by StarMorgan in : Astrology, Signs of the Zodiac , add a commentThink about characteristics of a Bull other than the well-known phrase of bull-headed. Taureans (April 21 to May 21) are steadfast, loyal, grounded. They are stable and balanced. They’re smart without being overly intellectual. They’re not likely to strike out for the unknown, but will prefer familiar territory. They’re patient, reliable and loving. (more…)
Aries
Posted by StarMorgan in : Astrology, Signs of the Zodiac , add a commentAries the Ram (March 21 to April 20) is called the first sign of the Zodiac. We think of the beginning of the year as January, because that’s the start of the new calendar year. But this is the Zodiac year, remember, and is governed by matters more celestial than mundane! March 21 is the Spring equinox (also known as the Vernal equinox), which signifies the beginning of the Zodiac year. And when you think about it, this makes sense. Spring is the time of renewal and rebirth. (more…)
Skeptics of Astrology March 5, 2008
Posted by StarMorgan in : Astrology , add a commentSkeptics of Astrology often say that horoscope readings are so general they could apply to anyone; and that people will look for what they want to see and ignore what doesn’t seem true for them, thus deluding themselves that the horoscope is accurate.
This skepticism would most likely be eliminated if the skeptic actually looked at a real horoscope done by a competent professional astrologer, using his unique time and place of birth. But in this second part of the series, we’ll look at an example of how a skeptic of Astrology can come to a false conclusion and go on saying that Astrology is bunk or fake to others - by NOT using a real horoscope to prove his point.
Although astrology will always have its skeptics, they should consider some of the following before making up their minds.
- Astrology probably gave birth to Astronomy. There is nothing supernatural about casting a horoscope, most of it is done according to precise astronomical and mathematical principles.
- Many famous scientists have been into Astrology:† Tyco Brahe, Karl Jung, Kepler, Huxley, and Copernicus. Many others remain anonymous.
- Astrologers do not necessarily believe in fate. They believe the stars impel not compel.
- There are 10,000 practicing paid Astrologers and millions of horoscope followers. There are hundreds of books on the topic. Only 10 percent of Americans believe there can’t be anything to it.
- Many astrologers believe in a natural synchronicity between the stars and events. Other countries place even more value in it.
- It is an undisputed scientific fact that the planets have a measurable magnetic, gravitational and electromagnetic influence on the earth. Most people agree that bizarre behavior tends to peak on full moons.
- Astrology is not limited to natal. There is also electional, horary, mundane, medical, meteorological, Chinese 12 year and millennial.
- The vast majority of those who look at their own chart (not just a newspaper column) find uncanny accurate hits.
Numerology
Posted by StarMorgan in : Numerology , add a commentPythagoras, the father of mathematics is also the father of esoteric numerology. He believed that there was an order to the universe and that number were more than a means of quantifying things. His philosophies included the idea that each number had an esoteric meaning.
Esoteric numerology, then, is the art and science of understanding the spiritual significance and orderly progression of all things. Every word or name vibrates to a number and every number has an inner meaning. The letter and number code, when properly understood and applied, brings us into a direct and close relationship with the underlying intelligence and vibration of the universe.
Pythagoras taught that numbers operate on the spiritual plane. With a few exceptions, everything can be factored to a number from 1 through 9 and each of those numbers has an esoteric meaning. It also represents an interval in a cycle. Pythagoras saw in number patterns and geometrical ratios the explanations of all natural phenomena, musical harmony and tonal qualities. He knew that the stars and planets were vibrating entities that produced sound, which he called the harmony of the spheres.
The only times that life numbers are not coded to the lowest single digit is when that number is 11 or 22. Ordinarily, 11 would be factored to a 2. But the number 11 is whatís called a Master Number and is extraordinarily powerful in Numerology. There is, in fact, an entire cult built around the number 11, or more specifically, 1111. This is a number that refers to End Time, and is a fascinating study all by itself.
As an example, your birthdate provides the pattern which we call the Life Lesson. Your name given at birth, when transcribed into numbers with a code that has existed since Pythagorasí day, can tell you the state of consciousness that you have achieved in this lifetime and indicate the record of the growth of your soul as well.
Your personal numbers are pieces of the puzzle that define your existence. When you delve into numerology, you also delve into the ancient sciences of astrology and tarot.
