Without Aries nothing would ever get started. Without Taurus nothing would ever get finished. Without Gemini we wouldn’t talk to each other. Without Cancer we wouldn’t care about each other. Without Leo we wouldn’t protect one another. Without Virgo nothing would be working. Without Libra we wouldn’t have a society. Without Scorpio we wouldn’t have discovery.

Planetary rulers of the days of the week

“Monday’s Child is fair of face,
Tuesday’s Child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s Child is full of woe,
Thursday’s Child has far to go,
Friday’s Child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s Child works hard for a living,
But the child born on the Sabbath Day,
Is fair and wise and good and gay.”

The ancient Babylonians chose to organize their calendar around 7 days of the week, and each day corresponds to one of the seven “planets” visible to the naked eye. [Planets is in quotations because two—the Sun and the Moon—are technically not planets (they’re luminaries).]

Monday (lundi in French) is ruled by the Moon. ”Monday’s child is fair of face” might refer to the sensitivity and youthfulness associated with the Moon.

Tuesday (mardi in French) is ruled by Mars. ”Tuesday’s child is full of grace” might be more aptly interpreted as full of energy and movement.

Wednesday (mercredi in French) is ruled by Mercury. ”Wednesday’s child is full of woe” might be interpreted as a person who worries or thinks too much.

Thursday (jeudi in French) is ruled by Jupiter. ”Thursday’s child has far to go” might thus be interpreted as a person who will travel and learn.

Friday (vendredi in French) is ruled by Venus. “Friday’s child is loving and giving” might refer to the Venus nature, that is, a person who is loving and receptive to love.

Saturday (samedi in French) is ruled by Saturn. ”Saturday’s child works hard for a living” thus might refer to the Saturnine nature which is rather serious and responsible.

Sunday (dimanche in French) is ruled by the Sun. ”But the child born on the Sabbath Day is fair and wise and good and gay” might refer to the magnanimous Sun nature.

Astrologers generally pay more attention to the ruling planets in a natal chart. That is, the planet that rules the sign on your Ascendant and the planet that rules the sign of your Sun. For example, if your Ascendant is Aries, Mars is the ruling planet of your Ascendant since Mars is the natural ruler of Aries. If your Sun is in Taurus, then Venus is your Sun’s ruling planet since Venus is the natural ruler of Taurus.

A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs on Saturday, May 25th, 2013, at 12:25 AM EDT.

Early Saturday, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs with a Sagittarius Moon opposing the Sun in Gemini. Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. With the Gemini-Sagittarius axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants in our lives concerning the balance between Gemini-ruled and Sagittarius ruled areas of life. The Gemini-Sagittarius polarity is a mental axis, where Gemini represents the “lower mind” and Sagittarius represents the “higher mind”. The Gemini Sun encourages us to think logically, while the Sagittarius Moon persuades us to intuit, and to think in a broader manner.

Financial Stars

♈ Aries: Aries don't owe anybody anything - except money. When they are younger they tend to be very spendthrift and impulsive, and always like 'new things'. Fiscal conservativeness does not come easy
♉ Taurus: The bigger the bank balance the more secure the Taurean feels. Their feeling of safety is tied to their fiscal foundations. They tend to be in 2 minds about spending-one is frugal, the other one prosperity conscious
♊ Gemini: Gemini are typically spendthrift and impulsive with their money; they lose track of their balances easily. However, they do possess a keen sense of finances, and know debt and loans tie them down and restrict them. They understand money flows in and out 
♋ Cancer: A lot of Cancer's security is tied to the levity of their bank balance. They are known to collect coupons and clips to save money, and will spend big on antiques. When they are in a down mood they can cause significant damage to their credit card 
♌ Leo: The sign of Leo is linked to chivalry, royalty & romance - they can embody the style of glamor on a passion pop budget. They can rarely grasp that incoming cash has  to be equal to outgoing. It's all done with credit 
♍ Virgo: Virgo possess a keen sense of finances and tend to be more poverty than prosperity conscious. They are efficient with handling money and are more likely to invest in that juice maker or ergonomic chair - something useful rather then going into debt for a status symbol 
♎ Libra: Libra are very good at embezzling their own funds and wondering where it all went. They are the ultimate 'must have' sign; when it all feels too much for Libra - they go shopping 
♏ Scorpio: The fiscal life of Scorpio is unbalanced; they are either big spenders or very frugal. In saving they can be particularly ruthless; they crave control, and will not let finances dominate them. Never rip off a Scorpio - they will know it. 
♐ Sagittarius: Sagittarians know debt and loans tie them down and restrict them, now and in the future, so they try to avoid that avenue. They tend to be spendthrift with items of novelty - that will bore them tomorrow. They prefer to spend on experiences rather then materials
♑ Capricorn: As the sign of money, Capricorns are AAA credit stars who handle money by taking charge. They are apt at managing their finances and very good at negotiating 
♒ Aquarius: Aquarians hate the corporate corruption that spills from the banks and detest its unaccountable inefficiency. They tend to be quite spendthrift with money; the bills can be dealt with after the windchimes have fixed the house energies  
♓ Pisces: Pisces are given to buy luxuries and stinge with commodities (diamonds and a 2 minute shower?!) They do worry about money a lot, and understand finances are energy. Many of the world's richest people  are Pisceans

Spiritual Purpose in the Stars

♈ Aries: Self actualization, empathy, compassion, form new ideas and pathways, to be an initiating life force, cleansing of minds 
♉ Taurus: Establish foundation, build resources, transform balance and beauty into conflicts; transcendence 
♊ Gemini: Integrate left and right brain activity, communication and messengers, develop empathy and compassion, teaching 
♋ Cancer: Investing in nurturing and support, blending of will and love, protection, learning detachment and objectivity
♌ Leo: Self actualization, protection, self awareness, giving the unconditional light, love and wisdom of the sun
♍ Virgo: Purification, self actualization, service and healing, perception, supporting others, learning self appreciation and consideration
♎ Libra : Bring people together, harmonize conflict and disturbance, actualized relationships, ability to merge opposing forces and processes
♏ Scorpio: Healing, transformation, neutralizing deep inner conflicts, release from emotional illusions, strength and resilience
♐ Sagittarius: Freeing of skepticism, create harmony between religious and scientific differences/philosophy and theology, devotion, teaching
♑Capricorn: Expression of will, integration of creative and rational intelligence, learning to control inner state rather than external, spiritual awareness
♒ Aquarius: Healing, circulating ideas, individuality, blending emotional and intellectual nature, distribution of wisdom, knowledge and love through service
♓ Pisces: Self protection and love, dissolving of all physical, emotional, psychic barriers, spreading of unconditional love, service

What sign's would most want to learn a new language?

Anonymous

Virgo and Gemini - thanks to Mercury as their ruler they are apt at languages and picking up new ones. Aquarius and Sagittarius for the cultural relevance

Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

Cosmic Games: Planetary Aspects

Opposition Aspects: 180 ° Opposing planets are directly opposite from each other on an astrological chart, they are all about balancing the tension between two equal, yet opposite forces, and then productively harnessing the energy of both. Considered a 'hard' aspect though one borne of transformation. The opposition aspect in astrology has to do with a tension between compatible elements
Square Aspects: 90 ° Square planets have a completely opposite agenda and direction. Many aspects of this nature can make life extremely difficult; they are typically considered the tie between incompatible elements
Semi-Square Aspect: 45 ° These aspects are pure kinetic, contrary to the other hard aspects, as well as the soft aspects which are much more potential in nature. It is theorized that this could be because aspects of this nature are deeply rooted in the unconscious. They are therefore unrecognized, and forced to exist as intense, concrete energy.

What is you're favourite and least favourite thing about each sign!

aries: i like their sense of humor & what you see is what you get but dislike their need to intimidate and command when they have no authority

taurus: i like their gentle stability and aura of just… steadiness, like, in earthy rhythm, i mean, no matter what you know you can depend on them. i dislike how it is difficult to read them. So i guess that is more of a personal issue lol. sometimes i just find myself gravitating towards them asking them what i should do because they have more of a clear mind lol

gemini: that it is an easy flowing conversation easy to find common ground it is usually funny&you learn something - dislike the command of conversation and how they have an answer for everything

cancer:i like how you feel relaxed and just, warmed by their presence, like they wont hurt you - but I dislike that they will, and you dont expect it

leo:i like how they give sound counsel and advice and will never turn around someone in need; i dont like how upfront and unkind they can be at times and realize it but not apologize

virgo: I find conversation easy and stimulating. They are generous and friendly. I like their simplicity even though they are complicated. I like their rationalization. and um, reply to your messages please.although who am i to talk

libra: breath of fresh air, when i am around Librans I feel a cool breeze around me, easy free flowing conversation and light, dislike how they are not upfront with you

scorpio: learn something from them - always, there is many sides to them and i like waiting for the one I like to come out,I dislike how they are closed minded to the point of frustration

sagittarius:so much fun, i love them (sister sign)so funny, laughter, lightness, casualness, I feel like I am almost with the closest to myself,dislike their skeptical nature and how they are open minded, but they are really not…

capricorn:that steady grounding nature, that wry humor - the laugh, they have the best smile Capricorns, I love it. Its the best. Something about them makes me nervous though. Like I have to impress them

Aquarius: Funny, I love the conversation - they get me, ideas, the friendliness and casualness; the fight for social justice so present in all of them, its surprising how they have the reputation for being wonder/magical and eccentric thinkers yet they are so scientific based. I guess when astrology was conceptualised ‘futuristic’, magic and wonder would have been attributed to science, whereas now the role is reversed. Aquarians are in the ‘now’. So their thinking is relevant to this time.

Pisces: The love, the warmth, the ear, the way they will always listen, and know what to say, and even if they dont, they will be there. I dont like how they will volunteer to do things for people then complain about it - or gossip. Lol. But I love all signs. Of course!!! x)) ❤❤❤❤❤ Cherry

Why are opposition aspects viewed as hard aspects? By thhis I mean like Gemini sun Sagittarius pluto. This has always confused me, I thought sister signs were similar.

I think because the ‘hard’ aspects (such as opposition and square) represent the balancing of tension and restoring of equilibrium; its all about transformation - which is what the harmony of the sister signs seeks to align. The opposition aspect focuses on our deepest needs of existence - the weaknesses we need to overcome, the insecurities we need to throw way… the tension of sister signs/opposition aspects can lead to a movement back and forth between extremes, internal confusion, and indecision. Opposition aspects in astrology are pretty much about balancing the tension between two equal, yet opposite forces, and finding away to find fire in the energy of both. I hope that made sense…? Love Cherry

♐ Sagittarians are like a candle lit in the dark, they are a shining light, a guiding star filled with optimism, joy, laughter creativity. They burn bright through wisdom, an innate need to explore, travel, change their way of life and not taking life too god damn seriously. They could make anyone suffering the worst of illnesses giggle and look past all that is negative in life.

Sleep Habits of the Zodiac

♈ Aries: Aries are a hyperactive sign and tend to have sleeping troubles. Their dreams are often intense and vivid, They find it very hard to wind down at night and ignore the health benefits of good sleep. Slide sleeping is known to improve sleep quality 
♉ Taurus: Sleep can be very fitful for Taurus if they are not comfortable. They are especially sensitive to their environment. They tend to sleep long and appreciate bed time. Meaningful dreams. Sleep best in company.
♊ Gemini: Gemini can survive off a fairly minimal amount of sleep - but it eventually catches up with them. Their minds are always racing in overdrive so sleep never comes easily. Many see sleep as an inconvenience and insomnia as productive 'extra' time
♋ Cancer: Cancer can have restless sleep patterns because they are likely to suffer nightmares a lot. Bedtime is especially volatile for Cancer because they dwell in all their troubles before sleep. They usually never feel completely 'awake'
♌ Leo: Most Leo are back sleepers and tend to drift off quite easily; unless they are stressed. They appreciate bed time and like to sleep amongst the most luxurious and sensuous of sheets and linen. Meaningful and precognitive dreams
♍ Virgo: Virgo cannot sleep if they are stressed or in an environment of disorder. Their chronic habit of overthinking makes it difficult for them to wind down before bed. They function most well when they have obtained a 'sleep schedule'
♎ Libra: Libra swing between sleeping too much and not enough. They can survive on minimal sleep for a short period then literally spend days in bed. A balanced sleep pattern is a good sign of inner equilibrium for Libra
♏ Scorpio: Scorpio's sleep is directed by their state of moods. A 'lifted' Scorpio will survive off minimal sleep - pushing bed time back as late as possible as they fall into their concentrated obsessions. An unhappy Scorpio will become very hypersomniac and need a lot of sleep
♐ Sagittarius: Sagittarius can survive off a minimal sleep arrangement but tend to naturally exhaust themselves through the day. They can put off bed time by becoming too excited or hyper about things at night. Occasionally restless, meaningful dreams
♑ Capricorn: Capricorn appreciate their sleep and try to get as much as possible - knowing it is within their best interests. A stressed Capricorn will have pronounced sleep troubles - insomnia is a sign of great inner distress for this sign 
 ♒ Aquarians have pronounced sleep troubles and tend to be restless and uncomfortable in sleep. Their racing thoughts make it hard for them to wind down at night and their use of technology and reading before bed compounds their minimal sleep
♓ Pisces: Sleep is opium for Pisceans; and out of all the zodiac, they need the most hours. Their receptive nature means they are drained by others and sleep restores their energy reserves. Many never feel truly 'awake'; they tend to have vivid and meaningful dreams
