Aries: A Preview of Your Year

Well, you have made it this far in your life and you are probably amazed at how things have worked out for you so far. You can stand up and cheer because while you still may have your occasional hardship, the rest of the year is smooth sailing.
You may feel that you have overcome a lot of obstacles this year. That is good for you Aries, you are known for your strength and courage. You should be proud that you stepped up to the plate of hardball that life handed you, and as you most often do, you came out on top.
You are a warm and caring individual and your relationships are about to show that. Somebody that you have been out of touch with for years is going to present themselves to you in the fall. Enjoy your summer Aries, because if you aren’t in love with Mr. or Ms. Right now, your tides will change with the cooling of the weather.

Your Lucky Days:
2-13-19-31
Your love horoscope:
While the month of August may hit some speed bumps as far as your love life is concerned, the fall months prove that it is only looking up. A blast from your past will appear with the changing colors of the leaves. He or she will be looking for a shoulder to cry on but by making your move around the 19th, you are guaranteed to win them over. If you are already in love be careful. Your blast from the past may have different intentions than what you think. Remember Aries, you are warm and caring. Cheating is not your best habit!

Your money horoscope:
Temptations may confront you when it comes to your financial situations. Aries, you have a problem with not finishing projects. This may mean that you are dishing out more money on material items than you are bringing in at work. Stop and think about all purchases that you make for the rest of the year. You’re better off to hold on to your money until the start of the New Year. Keep everything in order and think about taking the step toward the dreaded “B” word. Budgeting may be your best way to keep your financial head above the water.

Your work horoscope:
This is your time to shine and step up when asked. While you may not bring in more money, it is vital that this year you increase your responsibilities at work and focus on what is important: that promotion! Do no sit back and try to work under the goals that your boss gave you. This is the year that you create your own goals and do what it takes to stick to them. Sometimes you will have to sacrifice your nights out with your friends to increase your productivity at work. Remember that you are ruled by the war planet of Mars and you may butt heads with those in power over you at work. Showing your anger and rage is not the best way to go. Beat those who get in your way with kindness and use their harsh words as motivation. If you want that better job title go get it Aries!

DRAGONS 1916 - 1928 - 1940 - 1952 - 1964 - 1976 - 1988 - 2000 - 2012
Dragons are dominant and they are very ambitious. Dragons live by their own rules and are very successful if they are left to their own whims. These individuals are willing to take risks and meet every challenge head on with a no fear attitude. Everything that a dragon takes on, even if it is the simplest task, will turn into a grand production.
Dragons are more then willing to help out anyone in need but when it comes time for them to need help they will not ask anyone for assistance. Dragons are colorful and entertaining, but they secretly would rather be alone then hanging out in larger groups. If a dragon feels that he or she is being taken for granted then his temper can quickly flare up to the point of an explosion.
Dragons, even though they work too hard, tend to be healthy over all. Now and then they suffer from tension headaches that can be attributed to all the risks that they take and the hard work that they do. Dragons benefit greatly when they add activities such as walking or yoga to their daily routine.
Dragons are better at leading others then they are at letting others lead them. They want a career where they can be creative and in charge and people will praise the creative thinking and leadership abilities. Positions like, brokers, lawyers, inventors and sales people tend to be held most among the dragons.
These individuals love their independence. Even if they give someone their heart they will never give away their free will. Because a dragon can be quick tempered they need to be with a partner that doesn't take angry words to heart and is able to just brush them off. However once they find a person they are happy with they tend to commit to them for life.

Metal Dragons 1940 and 2000
Metal Dragons are even stronger then the normal dragon. They are quicker to fight for what they want and they will not stop until they get it. They like to be around people that challenge what they believe and they truly respect these people. Metal dragons have no problem finding people willing to follow them.

Water Dragons 1952 and 2012
Water dragons are calmer then the other dragons all the way around. They can see other peoples’ point of views and the water tends to calm their tempers. Water dragon individuals do not need to be right in every situation unlike the other dragons.

Wood Dragons 1904 and 1964
Wood dragons get along with people better than the other dragons do, yet they always have a dominating presence in all the groups they are in. Wood dragons are the most creative of all of the other dragons and like to express their creativity freely.

Fire Dragons 1916 and 1976
Fire dragons have the most intense emotions. They see themselves as perfect and often these dragons react quickly and recklessly, blaming others if they fail. Fire dragons have the hardest time learning to keep their tempers in check and under control.

Earth Dragons 1928 and 1988
Earth dragons act the most rationally of the group. They are level headed and they know how to control their emotions the best. They know they have a temper but they also know how to control it. People prefer to be around the earth dragons due to their generally mellow nature.

The Zodiac and Horoscopes

2008-07-25T10:31:00.000-07:00

The Zodiac and Horoscopes

According to Astrology, the interactions that the planets have with each other, especially the Earth can all be explained by the Zodiac.
Through Astrology, people study how the time of a person’s birth can predict the course of his or her life. In reference to what constellation they were born under- the sun or moon, a person can discover how they may share common personality traits or characteristics with other individuals born under the same universal conditions. Two more common names for these situations during birth are star signs and birth signs.
Those who study the many areas of Astrology believe that several aspects about the future can easily be predicted by charting the positions of the planets and their relationships to each other in a given period or time. While there are many websites that can guide you on how to create your own Astrology charts for futuristic predictions, these charts are better left to the professionals; the Astrologists that have devoted many hard working hours to the study of planet positions and their impact on the universe as a whole.
To fully understand Astrology, you must understand that the Zodiac signs have characteristics that are often referred to as Elements. Each Zodiac sign is assigned an Element based on characteristics. According to ancient history, the first Astrologists split the Zodiac up into twelve separate but equal parts and named them according to a certain part of the sky and its constellations. So, the twelve signs of the Zodiac were made up of these divisions.
During any given year, the sun orbits in a similar pattern around the Earth. If you were to observe this orbital pattern, you would notice that the sun appears to follow an imaginary line that is relative to the fixed stars in our solar system. The line has been given the name Ecliptic. The Zodiac commonly refers to the band that follows along the Ecliptic line and extends approximately eight degrees on either side of the line.
Think about all the times you have looked in daily papers, online, or even in magazines and checked your horoscope. The writers of horoscopes are none other than those who have mastered the pseudo science of Astrology. Using and referencing to the relative positions of planets, horoscopes are able to give an accurate futuristic prediction based on your Zodiac sign. Horoscopes can also represent the diagram of the positions of the planets and the Zodiac signs and their relationships at a specific time and place.
So, in actuality to predict the future and relay it in specialized horoscopes Astrologists have to consider several factors. These factors cover several areas but can include the houses, positions of the planets, and also the angles that each planet is in, in accordance with the others. Horoscopes are not just written in a few minutes. The writing of a horoscope requires knowledge of Astrology and several years of study to master the art of observation and prediction. The Zodiacs’ divisions mean that an Astrologist must have knowledge of all signs and be able to predict futures based on the sun and other information that needs to be charted over a period of time. When it comes to predicting your future, definitely leave it to a trained professional.

The Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

2008-07-25T10:30:00.000-07:00

The Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Scorpios are the powerhouses of the Zodiac. Scorpios in a sense are like volcanoes and there is always a threat of eruption right underneath the calm beautiful surface. On the surface the Scorpio is pleasant to be around; they are reserved and courteous. Scorpios have the unique ability to see right through people.
When it comes to work and projects, Scorpios require a lot of self discipline and they are able to step away from themselves and recognize how everyone around them sees them. If they do not like what the others see then they will work hard to change it. Their willpower is incredible but they are ruled completely by their emotions.
They are very quick to detect insult towards themselves from others even when they are not intending to be taken that way. Their outspokenness is enough for them to make enemies instead of friends. Once a Scorpio decides that they do not like you then they will be even more out spoken about their feelings.
Scorpios in the work force are not happy unless they are the leader; even if the leadership spot is filled they will do anything and everything that they can to take over the spot. If anyone stands in their way they are very blunt and go out of their way to be cruel to that person. Scorpios tend to be way too demanding of other people and are not very understanding or forgiving.
Scorpios have a bad habit of throwing friends away when they are no longer useful to them, but a decent Scorpio will be aware that this is happening and work hard to stop it. Scorpios, despite all of their shortcomings, have great imaginations. They have a better chance at becoming a genius then any of the other Zodiac signs. This makes it even scarier if the Scorpio has evil tendencies. They have the capability to become very aggressive, and extremely violent.
If Scorpios learns to harness all of the emotions that are always boiling right below the surface then they can be successful at many things. They fact that they have such a cold outlook and can detach themselves from the situation makes them a perfect surgeon.
Scorpios have the ability to not think twice about killing and they make perfect soldiers. They are great investigators and like the thrill of solving mysteries. They tend to do better in positions where they can work alone. Since they put as much pressure on others as they do themselves this makes them fail miserably in group settings. Their power and excitement makes them great preachers.
The Scorpio is the symbol for sex so these people more often than not make great lovers. In fact, they tend to lose themselves in the sexuality if their lovers. Try not to let the Scorpio be the dominate one in the bedroom all of the time. When they have power, they can unleash sadistic tendencies. They seek tragic endings; they are happier being star crossed lovers then they are being happily united.
Additional Information
• Scorpions are prone to illness of the kidneys and the genitals. Ulcers are also a medical problem that they tend to be plagued with.
• Pluto is the ruling planet of the Scorpion
• Dark red is the color of power that they associate with the best.
• The Scorpion’s birthstone is Yellow Topaz
Scorpios have to learn to harness their emotions; once they do this they will be able to live a calm and happy life. The tendency that they have to put too much stress on themselves and others is their downfall. They have to learn to accept that everyone else is not as perfect as the think that they are.

The Zodiac Sign- Pisces

2008-07-25T10:29:00.000-07:00

The Zodiac Sign- Pisces
Pisces are the gentle ones in the Zodiac. They are friendly, good natured and very compassionate. Everyone loves a Pisces and they are very popular around all types of people. They are very laid back and incredibly easy to get along with.
The best characteristic of the Pisces is that they accept all people around them and do not try to change anybody that is different from them. They simply adapt to the situation they are sharing with the individuals and do not try to push any beliefs or opinions onto them.
.The average Pisces is far more concerned with the health and well beings of others then he or she is with his or her own health. Pisces are never egotistical and tend to give way more in their personal relationships then they expect to get back. At the extreme, Pisces tend to be asexual- not caring one way or the other in regards to sharing intimate sexual moments with their lovers. They want a relationship with their partners’ minds rather than their bodies. Pisces are very faithful in marriage unless their spouses married them on false pretenses and became different people after the wedding. The Pisces as a spouse does not like to admit that he or she has made a terrible decision when it comes to marriage and will stick the relationship out for the duration. A Pisces hardly ever initiates divorce proceedings. A Pisces individual is sensitive and will live life being guided solely by his or her emotions.
Pisces are more instinctive then they are intelligent. This does not mean that the Pisces are not intelligent and talented. They long to have people recognize their creativity and talents but will not toot their own horn to get recognition. When it comes to working, the Pisces individual may be rebellious and find it hard to be happy working a typical 9-5 job. Pisces are very gifted artistically and are great listeners. They deal easily when thrown into new environments. Pisces yearn for new things, they want to travel and see everything, which is impossible to do when working a forty hour scheduled work week.
Pisces work better by themselves. They are wonderful with their own businesses since self employment opportunities can work around them and not the other way around. Some will find the stress of working alone to be too much and seek employment in the structured career world. Since they have so much sympathy for the population as a whole, Pisces make wonderful nurses and veterinarians. The ability to express empathy, knowing what others are feeling, makes them great lawyers. Being able to think like others and feel their emotions, allows Pisces to be great at any job that has to do with solving crimes
A Pisces feels right at home on the stage or in front of a camera. He or she is in touch with the other worldly psychic realm thus making these individuals good mediums. With so many interests and having the dreams that they do, it is very seldom that you will meet a Pisces who will have just one occupation. There are too many new things in too many career fields for them to experience. To try and find just one area of employment to settle with, is an absurd thought to the Pisces worker.
A Pisces’ biggest problem is trying to keep his or her imagination at bay so they can function in real time. Their creativity is how they express themselves. They need to have the creativity in their world as an outlet for their stress.
Additional Information
• In regards to health and wellness, Pisces are often prone to anemia, heavy periods, inflammation of the eyelids and other skin diseases.
• The symbol of the Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions; this represents the Pisces inner struggle between living in the dream world where they want to be and dealing with reality.
• Neptune is the ruling planet of the Pisces Zodiac sign.
• The Pisces power color is sea green.

The Zodiac Sign- Gemini

2008-07-25T10:26:00.000-07:00

The Zodiac Sign- Gemini

In the order of the Zodiac signs the Gemini (twins) is considered to be the third. If you were born between the dates of May 21st and June 21st, you are considered a Gemini.
The sign of the Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury which contributes greatly to the characteristics associated with people that fall under this Zodiac sign.
So what does it mean to be a Gemini? Individuals that fall under this sign have a wide range of both positive and negative attributes and personality traits. A Gemini is usually into an active lifestyle- exercising and constantly being on the go. He or she succeeds in areas of his or her live that requires multitasking and large amounts of energy.
A Gemini is also very friendly and outgoing. This does not mean that the Gemini is always looking to be the center of attention and the life of the party, but he or she is not afraid to extend a handshake to someone he or she has just meant. The Gemini is the first person to throw a party to bring people together, or even call around and invite a group of friends to dinner. For a Gemini, being social is what makes him or her tick.
There are many careers that a Gemini will succeed in. Since they are imaginative and love to be the entertainment, people born under the Gemini sign are the perfect match for fun and rewarding careers. Using their imaginations, these individuals will excel in law and education fields; especially as elementary teachers, music teachers, and art teachers. Touching on the entertainment aspect of the Gemini, careers in comedy, acting, music, and writing can prove to be great job choices.
The Gemini individual has many negative traits that can prevent them from achieving success at work and in relationships. These individuals can be very impulsive or indecisive. This makes it hard for a Gemini to decide on important decisions. The Gemini may also lack concentration which can prevent work projects from getting done on time.
In regards to relationships, a Gemini is emotionally inconsistent. One day he or she may be in the mood for romance and marriage, but the next day he or she may laugh at the romance idea and pull away from the same romantic gestures that they offered the day before. There is also the trait of being flirty that may interfere with relationships. The Gemini can be a vain individual and flirt with only the most attractive people. He or she may be unaware that the flirting is upsetting his or her partner. The Gemini tends to misunderstand the emotional pain that he or she is causing.
People born under the Gemini sign may also come across as very childish. Keep in mind that this is not the fault of the person, but the fact that Mercury is a planet associated with youth and energy. A Gemini can often get upset when things do not go his or her way, and he or she may become upset when the attention is not all directed toward him or her. Regardless of the negative aspects, the Gemini is a caring person who tries to do the right thing for everyone, but sometimes his or her lack of concentration and indecisiveness can prevent the good from through.

Additional Information:
• The Zodiac Sign of the Gemini is ruled by the youthful planet, Mercury.
• While twins tend to be the best representative of the sign, the animal representative more often than not is the Wolf.
• The color most associated with Gemini is Green.

The Zodiac: Sagittarians
Sagittarians are the positive thinkers of the Zodiac. They are also extremely open minded to other people and places; allowing them to really enjoy travel and seeing how other cultures live.
Sagittarians can be very optimistic people. Even when their hopes are extinguished they are able to find a bright side in most situations. They are very strong hearted and are able to take their disappointments in stride.
Sagittarians are often known for their impressive trustworthiness. These individuals are very sincere and have a generous passion for justice and moral activities. Because of the need for justice and righteousness, Sagittarians tend to have a very strong religious sense about them. They want to do right in most situations and put a strong emphasis on ethical codes when it comes to making decisions about their actions or words.
Sagittarians excel in the workplace regardless the job that they have. They are witty and strive to keep peace with managers and coworkers. They love to take on new projects and are able to think quickly and on their feet, making them capable of learning new job tasks in no time. Those born under this Zodiac sign have the ability to be patient regardless of the situation. Their creative thinking and dedication allows them to work until the job is finished. Even when other workers have given up on a project, the Sagittarian will see it through until the end, even if it means working alone. Unlike some signs that showcase individuality, those born under this sign do great with group work and always manage to bring out the best in their work environments.
In loving relationships both the Sagittarian male and female are straightforward with his or hers needs and wants. If a relationship doesn’t work out, the Sagittarian person in the relationship will allow it to control his or her live. The heartbroken individual may try to make up for the lost love by having one night stands to make them feel free and loved. This trait could make marriage hard for Sagittarians, but if truly in love and faithful, those under this sign can make great spouses. In their other personal relationships they are very reliable friends, they can however become angry very quickly with their friends; but they forgive them just as quick.
When it comes to picking a lifelong career Sagittarians are natural teachers since they have great patients and the gift of making people want to learn. They are also very successful church heads or scientists. Any career that gives them a new task and people to share it with makes them happy. Sagittarians tend to become wrapped up in their work and put their family and their health on the back burner without realizing it.
Sagittarians, like all the other Zodiac signs, still have their bad traits. They are very prone to angry flare ups. They want to rush from one project to the next forgetting personal relationships along the way. Sagittarians may also be very vulgar in their own personal lives. Another big problem that Sagittarians have is that they tend to be hypocritical to others.
Sagittarians have the great desire to succeed. They need to step away from their work now and then so their personal relationships do not pay the price. Sagittarians never feel stressed with work and they are more apt to keep going than their non- Sagittarian coworkers. Others who are part of the other Zodiac signs will get fed up with a project. A Sagittarius will keep pushing through until they are done no matter what the cost. In order to succeed in all aspects of life, a Sagittarian has to find a balance between work and life.
Additional Information
• Sagittarians tend to suffer from hip injuries; they are also at risk of rheumatism.

The Four Major Elements of the Zodiac

2008-07-25T10:20:00.000-07:00

The Four Major Elements of the Zodiac

The Zodiac is made up of four major Earthly components that are used to define and categorize the Zodiac signs. The four major elements are described in detail below.

Fire Signs- Sagittarius, Leo, and Aries.
People that were born into the months that are considered to be dominated by the Zodiac element of fire can be very forceful and demanding people. Fire sign individuals can be very quick to jump to conclusions and also very quick to lose their tempers. The fire sign is the most heated and forceful sign of all of the elements. People that are born under any of the fire signs tend to be pushy with others and want to be left alone to prove that they are capable of succeeding at being self sufficient.
People that are associated with fire signs do have many positive attributes. These people tend to be very bright and lively. While they can come across as aggressive, they do have a softer side to them in loving relationships. These individuals are very enthusiastic about life and work and are very caring individuals.

Air Signs- Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra
Those that fall under the three Zodiac signs that are associated with the element of air can be very different than those who fall under the fire signs. Rather than being aggressive and forceful, these individuals tend to be cold and very impractical. They would rather give the cold shoulder than confront another head on with a problem. Those that are considered to be born with the Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra signs possess great abilities at demonstrating logical reasoning and are very capable of easily expressing themselves to others. These individuals are very gifted when it comes to thinking about abstract concepts, reasoning, and intellectual communications. They have very quick minds and the wit to match.

Earth Signs- Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo
People that are part of the Earthly Zodiac signs are very strong willed and hard headed. They are very stable in many different aspects of their lives, financial and even emotional. They, like the Earth, are hard to bring down. These individuals are controlled by their signs and the characteristics are often very matter of fact.
When an Earth sign individual has made up his or her mind, there is no way to change it. They will hear out the opinions and viewpoints of others, but if these opinions do not fit into their foundational beliefs, they will not consider them.
‘
Water Signs- Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio
Being born under a water sign means the individual is truly in touch with his or her self, surroundings, and environment. Those that are born under water signs and are very in tune with their environment are willing to take drastic measures to ensure that their environment is safe and unharmed. The Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio individuals are very emotional and have strong feelings for things that are very important to them. They are very intuitive and often use their intuition instead of their head to make decisions. This element contributes to the most sensitive group of individuals.

Birthstone- Emerald
Birth Month- May
May’s birthstone, the Emerald, is similar to the Amethyst stone in that it represents the hexagonal crystal shape. The Emerald has a chemical compound different from many of the other birthstones. Beryl- Silicate of Beryllium and Aluminum (Al2Be3) make up the gemstone known as Emeralds. Emeralds do not vary in colors, just shades of light green to dark.
Emerald is without a doubt the most beautiful and popular green stone of the collective gemstone family. Emerald was commonly believed to have healing powers and could heal different areas of the eyes. The most popular belief is that Emeralds are the cure for vision problems and other eye diseases. Emeralds also have power to strengthen the heart and increase intelligence.
This gem goes back very far historically and can be linked to the Moguls and even Cleopatra. Today, Emeralds are considered to be one of the rarest, if not the rarest gem in the world.

Zodiac Sign- Cancer and Gemini
Birthstone- Pearl
Birth month- June
June’s birthstone is much different from the months’ birthstones before it. The birthstone for June is the Pearl and its crystal structure is orthorhombic. A Pearl’s chemical composition consists of Aragonite platelets that are held together with conch Olin
Pearls are not just white in color. In fact, there are some Pearls that are black with a green or purple colored luster. There are also Pearls that are gray, tan, yellow, brown, and white with pinkish tones.
Prior to the Pearl becoming the birthstone for June, Moonstone was long accepted as the original stone representative for the summer month. Currently, there are three birthstones that may show up on the list for June and they are Moonstone, Pearl, and Alexandrite. The Pearl; however, is the only birthstone that is created by a living organism as opposed to appearing naturally in the surface of the Earth.
When a single piece of grit or sand enters the body of a shellfish, it is officially set up to become a Pearl. As the grit or sand sets inside the shellfish, it becomes coated with several layers of Aragonite. Eventually, the grit or sand takes the appearance of what we know today as a Pearl and the iridescent shell of the shellfish is referred to as Mother of Pearl.
Since a Pearl does not need to be polished and cut, it is the only birthstone that can be made into jewelry as soon as it is found.

The Astrological Birthstones- January through March

2008-07-25T10:07:00.000-07:00

The Astrological Birthstones- January through March

Zodiac Sign- Capricorn and Aquarius
Birthstone- Garnet
Birthstone Month- January
Garnet, the birthstone for January, is often thought of as a dark red. The origin of the word Garnet is from the Latin word granatum meaning seed like. The true Garnet stones can vary in colors and be pretty much any color but blue. The stones are made of a crystal structure (dodecahedral and isometric in shape). The chemical composition of the stone consists of silicate mixtures of aluminum, magnesium, and iron.
Garnets are often referred to as Rhodolite or as Carbuncles as it was considered in the older days. As stated, Garnet comes in a variety of color of stones. Yellow, golden yellow, cinnamon, greens, and oranges are the colors that Garnets have been discovered in. The only color that Garnet has not been found in is blue. The red variety of Garnet stones that is associated with the January birthstone most resembles the pomegranate seed.

Zodiac Sign- Pisces and Aquarius
Birthstone- Amethyst
Birthstone Month- February
The Amethyst stone is the birthstone for the month of February and is usually a pale to dark purple color. The stone has a crystal structure and most often is found in the hexagonal shape. Amethyst has a chemical composition of Silicon Dioxide and transparent Quartz.
In the earlier days the Amethyst stone was referred to as Jasper. It was and still is considered to be the symbolic stone of sobriety. The gemstone tends to be the favored stone among Catholic Bishops, Tibetan Monks, and even Buddhists.
Generally, Amethyst is considered a very important stone. It comes from the quartz family and in beautiful variations of the color purple. The stone is believed to be a cure for the common hangover or can stop intoxication in its tracks. The origin of the word Amethyst is Amethystos, which is Greek for “non drunk.”

Zodiac Sign- Aries and Pisces

Birthstone- Aquamarine

Birthstone Month- March

Like the Amethyst gemstone, March’s birthstone has a hexagonal crystal structure. Aquamarine has a chemical combination that consists of beryllium, aluminum, silicate, and beryl. Much like Garnet, Aquamarine can appear in several different colors. Most of the colors are variations of blues- yellowish blues, greenish blues, and pale blue.
Aquamarine gets its name from the Romans. The aqua means “water” and the marine means “sea.” The Aquamarine gemstone was once considered a symbol of mermaids and mariners because the different colors of the stone represent all of the different colors of sea water. Currently, Aquamarine is very popular in anniversary jewelry and is believed to have a soothing effect on the wearers.
Aquamarine hasn’t always been the birthstone associated with the month of March. The original birthstone of March was Bloodstone, but due to Aquamarine’s rarity to be available in various sizes, it soon replaced the Bloodstone.
Regardless, Bloodstone is unique and can still be purchased as the March birthstone in some places. The Bloodstone is chalcedony quartz and contains amounts of iron red oxide that gives off the appearance of several bright red spots. Bloodstone can be grinded down into small powered particles and used in medicines.

Living Under the Air Sign

2008-07-25T10:05:00.000-07:00

Living Under the Air Sign
The Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are all attached to the air sign. Air signs are smart and graceful. They love to probe into every problem, looking at it from every angle, pulling it apart and putting it back together so they can know without a doubt that they solve the problem the right way.
Those under air signs in the Zodiac never run out of problems to solve. If they do not have enough of their own, their friends and family will keep them supplied. People close to those that are air signs know how analytical they are and they know that they do not give any advice until they have weighed and measured every pro and the con of the dilemma.
Air sign individuals are all about letting their voice be heard. They have wonderful communication skills and they use them to their advantage. If something needs to be said the air signs will say it. Those under the air signs also crave balance. They want to be as successful in the social life as they are at home.
The individuals that fall under the signs on the Zodiac that are considered to be air signs are not completely happy until they have achieved success at work. They do not feel complete until they have the home, the family, the job and the friends. One thing that makes them great in all aspects of their lives is that they are wonderful at balancing their time.
Individuals under the air signs are very empathetic and actually have the ability to walk a mile in other people’s shoes. They are very open-minded and they will never judge another person for having to make a decision. They live by the motto that you can not comment on something that you have never had to live through. An air sign is not prejudice and they do not label people. Everyone has a chance to prove themselves worthy in an air sign individual’s eyes.
Air signs tend to be a little unpredictable. You never know what mood these individuals are going to be in until you approach them. Just like a breeze they can be warm and gentle, a calming wind that blows through hot sticky days and makes everyone feel better. Or when angered air signs can be like a tornado. When the male or female is drove to the point of explosion he or she will rip through everything in his or her path. Air signs can change as quickly as the element they represent. Just remember when dealing with an air sign who may be slightly annoyed, that it is better to walk away then it is to stand there and continue to make him or her more upset. You wouldn't drive right into the center of a cyclone would you?
Air sign individuals, despite their unstable moods, are still the most understanding ones of the Zodiac. They are the laid back ones in all of their personal relationships. They have the gift of making everyone feel like they belong. This gift makes people want to constantly be around them. The fact that they are open minded and never shy away from a topic, makes them easy to talk to and even easier to confide in. When it comes to finding a partner to marry, air signs are happiest with a fire sign. Both of these signs understand that the other’s moods are ever changing. They are both quick witted and both think outside of the box.

Life under Water: What to Expect When You’re a Water Sign

2008-07-25T10:04:00.000-07:00

Life under Water: What to Expect When You’re a Water Sign

Cancers, Scorpios, and Pisces are all ruled by the water sign. Water signs are sensitive to their own feelings and are in tune with other peoples’ feelings as well. Water signs act from the heart and not from the head. If something feels right no matter how illogical it may seem, that is what the water signs will be doing.
Water signs are full of compassion for other people. They want them to be happy and will work until not only they are happy, but everyone that is close to (especially family and friends) is satisfied and content.
People born under the water signs have a gift in the arts. They look at things differently then others do. Water signs are romantic to a fault. The time in history that they associate with the most is that of the knights and the maidens. A time when honor meant something and you fought to defend the person you were with.
These individuals can take the simplest things and see a beauty that others glance over. Water is ever flowing and if it is forced to stop it will sit in a puddle and become stagnant or stale, water signs are then same way. If there is something that is stopping them from flowing from one life event to the next, then they are not happy. A motionless water sign is depressed and sad and just plain miserable to be around.
Water signs feel the most alive when they are helping other people. They like to give and share any wealth that they have with people less fortunate then themselves. Waters signs do have habits that are considered to be bad habits. The main one is that they tend to have a problem with reality. When things in the real world are not as they want them to be they are prone to slipping into a dream world; giving up on reality completely in the most extreme cases. Water signs can also be susceptible to intense mood swings. They can go from happy to sad or from pleasant to angry faster then most people will be able to comprehend what is going on. An angry water sign can become self indulgent, and will do whatever it takes to make themselves feel better even at the cost of others.
Many people believe that water signs have a sixth sense. They are more in tune with the psychic realm. They can receive others’ feelings and they are vessels that others can fill with their pain. This match with the level of empathy that comes with being a water sign explains how it is that they can read people so well. Think of a water sign like you do the sea. On a calm day the sea is beautiful and hypnotic. The waves are gentle and almost caring. Out of nowhere a storm can hit and disrupt the sea, taking it from calm and relaxing to vengeful and angry with a single angry wind. The sea is a powerful thing that should never be taken as anything less then a serious force to be reckoned with. Water signs demand the same respect

Fire Sign

2008-07-25T10:03:00.002-07:00

Life in the Heat: Born Under the Fire Sign

Aries, Leos and Sagittarians are all considered fire elements. People under the fire signs tend to live larger then life. They are overly enthusiastic. Those that are under fire signs, just like the name indicates should not be left to their own accord for long periods of time, or they will rage completely out of control and be unstoppable, destroying anything that stands in the way of something that they want.
Fire signs are unique. They need to be given a creative outlet in which they can express themselves and burn off some of their energy. Fire signs have a real zest for life. They share this zest with everyone around them making it hard for others not to absorb some of fire’s energy and become excited just by the thought of being close to these people.
Fire signs are very self sufficient individuals; they do not feel that it is necessary to bother others with their problems. Fire signs are the sexiest people that the Zodiac has to offer. They see love as a game of cat and mouse. They will do whatever it takes to capture their mouse’s attention. They are great at flirting and making people feel special and beautiful, but a fire sign that doesn't find love right away can be dangerous. Much like the cat, they will catch the mouse and then play with it until they are done being amused and then they are on to the next mouse. Those that have felt true love from a fire sign can attest to how easy it is to be pulled in by their flame. They have the ability to make the people they love feel beautiful and untouchable, a fire sign as a lover can easily become an addiction to people they spend a lot of time with.
Fire signs come with their negative traits just like everyone else. If a fire sign doesn't get their way they will lash out. They want what they want and they do not like anyone telling them that they can't have it. An angered fire sign individual will do whatever it takes to get to what he or she thinks is rightfully his or hers even if it means they have to take it by force. Any person under any of the three fire signs can become completely self-centered. This leads to the person becoming bossy and hard to deal with. When it comes to possessions fire signs tend to be somewhat selfish, they do not understand why they are expected to share something that they had to work from to obtain.
Overall, fire signs are spontaneous and fun. They like to keep people coming back for more, which is exactly what they do. People want to be around them. They want to bask in the warmth of the excitement that a fire sign brings along. But as the saying goes, “if you can't handle the heat stay out of the kitchen.” This much is the same for the fire sign. If you are a person that doesn't do well with angry flair ups and an occasional temper tantrum then you should take a step back and find a calmer elemental sign to spend your time with.

Earth Sign

2008-07-25T10:03:00.001-07:00

Life As An Earth Sign
The Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn signs of the Zodiac are all earth signs. Earth signs individuals are known for keeping their feet planted firmly on the ground. They are rooted in reality and they know that the real world doesn't have room for fantasy. Those that fall under the earth signs do not like taking risks and they feel better about themselves if they are in a situation that they were able to plan for ahead of time.
The earth signs are often considered the security net of the Zodiac. Earth sign people are the ones that are constantly creating new things and making old things better. They are hard workers and are determined to constantly better themselves. Earth signs get happy and happier with the more possessions that they can own. Their increasing need for possessions tend to become obsessions. Those that live under the earth signs have a bad habit of putting themselves and the ones they love into debt so they can continue to live way outside of their means.
There is a good chance that once the earth sign acquires a taste for expensive things they will just keep getting more and more greedy and materialistic. The greed may seem a contradiction to the other down to earth characteristics of the earth sign individuals.
Despite their needs for nice things, it is the earth signs that you can always depend on in a time of crisis. They are willing to help out anyone that is in need. When it comes to talking to anybody else about their problems, the earth sign individuals are very reserved. While these people will likely not tell much about their lives and their situations, those under the earth signs will lend an ear for hours and hours of active listening.
Earth signs take on life with a laid back approach. They like to move slowly and play it safe. Earth signs are not into taking risks. They want to have time to think before they leap. Those under earth signs, though they are conservative themselves, have the utter most respect for others that jump head first into new things. Earth signs tend to be very logical. They can see both sides to every situation; this ability tends to make them the negotiator in their circle of friends.
On the negative side, earth signs need to pay more attention to the people in their lives than they do to the materials. They have the habit of getting so caught up in their objects that their personal relationships suffer and in severe cases, disappear completely. Earth sign individuals also need to stop looking at only the big picture. Most of the time they tend to focus on the finish line and never enjoy the race that got them there. Earth signs do not know how to live in the moment. A lucky earth sign will realize how important living in the moment can be before it is too late.
For an earth sign to be truly balanced the person under the sign has to find the medium in his or her self. The individuals have to learn to stop constantly living for tomorrow. They need to realize that expensive objects can never replace friendships and loved ones. Most importantly, something has to make them learn that money can not truly buy them happiness. If they can't learn this they will end up rich and alone.

Astrology

2008-07-25T10:02:00.001-07:00

Astrology as a Science
Astrology is the direct and indirect study of the influence that cosmic objects (generally stars and planets), have on the lives of people. The study of Astrology dates back centuries and it has long been believed that the very position of the cosmic world (sun, moon, stars, and the planets) at one’s birth all play a role in a human being’s personality and the outcome of situations in his or her life.
According to Astrology, the alignments of the cosmic elements will play a role in how an individual’s relationships work Astrology is used to predict personal traits and characteristics, what kind of life a person will have or should work to have, and many other aspects of a person’s life.
All of those above mentioned things are just the tip of the astrological iceberg. When studying Astrology, there are many branches that exist under the simplistic term of Astrology. Below you will find a few examples.
1. Mundane Astrology- Mundane astrology takes a more social science approach. This type of astrology is used to predict world events. These events can range from anything from war to an economic recession.
2. Interrogatory Astrology- Most fortune tellers use the Interrogatory branch in order to make a specific prediction about a person’s life.
3. Natal Astrology- This is the most commonly referred to branch of astrology. The Natal branch is dedicated to making predictions based on a person’s birth dates.
4. Counseling Astrology- Some people will go to a psychologist or a counselor when they are having problems in their lives. A professional that practices Counseling Astrology uses the signs to teach clients how to deal with stress and problems.
5. Electional Astrology- The field of Electional Astrology is dedicated to showing individuals how to choose the best time for a specific life event such as completing a business deal or getting married.

Despite what people in today’s society may think, the idea of Astrology is not a new concept. The study of Astrology predates both the studies of psychology and astronomy. Astrology has been used for thousands of years and by civilizations through out the entire world.
It is believed by many that Astrology dates as far back as 1645 B.C. with the Babylonians. Records showing that Astrology was used this early were found in the other ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Astrology was used primarily to make calendars and even laws.
It wasn't until the historical period known as the Renaissance, when Astrology became vital in publishing almanacs used to determine planting and harvesting times.
During the next few centuries Astrology lost some of its creditability as a science. It wasn't until the 1930's that Astrology once again found popularity. The popularity was a result of a London newspaper article after the birth of Princess Margaret. The article gave the Princess an Astrological profile detailing what the future held for the new born baby according to the alignment of the stars and planets.
Astrology is now often referred to as a pseudo science. Using other sciences such as philosophy, sociology, and psychology; in addition to astrology can help people understand themselves better as a whole. These sciences provide people with an outline that can be used to explain why people have different characteristics.
When following astrology, it is very crucial to remember that not all sciences are prefect. If an individual does not fit a description provided using astrology that does not mean that there is anything wrong with that person. Astrology can sometimes be open for interpretation and may be interpreted different by each person.
Today Astrology is used pretty much everywhere. It is no longer used by just the scientists and no longer is it associated with witchcraft. There is no longer a reason for practitioners of Astrology to hide and fear practicing the art. Astrology is now so much in the norm that most papers run a column everyday with horoscopes.

Finding Your Personal Gemstone in Astrology

With the increasing popularity of anything considered to be astrological, personal gemstones are also seeing a spike in importance. Today, personal stones are very common and people have the option of choosing a variety of stones to pick as their one true stone.
Most people choose to let their stone be representative of something in their Zodiac lives. Many will choose their birthstones (the stones associated with the months in which they were born) and some may choose a colored stone that is associated with their Zodiac sign (Pisces are water signs and the color sea green is most often associated with them). While picking a stone that is associated with an astrological aspect of your life may seem logical, it is really not necessary.
There are people that pick their personal gemstone based on their personal preference or their favorite colors. For example, a person who has blue as their favorite color may choose to go with Sapphire as his or her personal stone. A stone may also be one that has been passed down from generations to generation and you choose to elect that stone as your personal one.
It is crucial that the stone you pick as your personal gemstone, be the stone that you feel the deepest about. While all stones give off some intensity of vibrations, the stone that will work the best for you is the one you hold closest to your heart.
.If you want to skip the option of picking a stone based on your favorite color, then why not try picking a stone based the planet at which you where born under?
Planetary gemstones are very popular and seem to only being gaining in popularity. There is an ancient belief that each planet has a corresponding gem. It is also believed that at the time of your birth, you are able to tap into your ruling planet’s energy by keeping that planet’s gemstone in touch with your body. By keeping the planet’s gemstone near you, you can capture that energy in your own body. You should be warned though that not all planets release a positive energy. If your planet is Mars, you may want to try another method of picking a personal gemstone. Mars is the planet of war and the energy released from that planet is usually angry and vengeful.
Another easy way to pick your gemstone is to focus on a body part. If you have a family history of heart disease, you may want to consider a gemstone that is linked to the heart. The heart is represented by the Rose Quartz and the Kunzite gemstones. If you are looking to ward off any heart conditions, you may want to consider those two gemstones when choosing a personal stone.
If you are more concerned with the health of your brain and your eyes, you may want to consider gemstones such as Amethyst and Sodalite. For stomach related diseases in your small intestines or gallbladder, look into personal gemstones of Topaz or Citrine. Finally, to improve spine conditions, consider adopting the Garnet stone or Smokey Quartz.
Regardless which method you choose to determine your personal gemstone, you must be passionate about your decision. Remember a gemstone will not work unless you have a positive feeling toward its powers.`

The Significance of Birthstones
Special stones have been designated to each month of the calendar year. Known more commonly in society today as birthstones, these designated stones are believed to bestow either curing powers or unique virtues onto those individuals that are born in the month associated with the specific birthstone.
The history behind the stones dates back to around the first century. As the stories have told, the twelve gems used as the modern birthstones, could be found on the armored breastplate of the Jewish High Priests. During that time, followers began to associate the twelve stones with the twelve apostles, designating a stone to each apostle based on traits and qualities.
Today, these gems still have a popular following in society. According to G.F. Kunz, author of The Curious Lore of the Precious Stones, “ there is no doubt that the owner of a ring or ornament set with a birthstone is impressed with the idea of possessing something more intimately associated with his or her personality …”
Similar to any other item associated with Astrology, birthstones still hold a certain amount of significance to those who are seeking truth and romance in a vast universe. Most birthstones do not come in a single shade or color. Most of the time, there are jewels of the same stone that have color variations. The birthstone that a person associates with his or her birth month is just the common color associated with the stone. For example, the birthstone for January is Garnet. Nine times out of ten the garnet stone associated with January is going to be dark red. Garnet comes in many other colors, including dark purple, orange, white, yellow, and even green. Basically, the birthstone for January can come in any color but blue.
Historically speaking, the decision to use a specific color of each stone to associate it with the twelve calendar months could have a lot to do with the stones’ past and current relations to mystical powers. When it comes to Astrology there are not just birthstones. There are also stones that are referred to as Zodiacal or talismanic. Talismanic stones were believed to have special powers that were provided by the heavens. These stones are cut and worn as jewelry. Not only are these stones believed to have secret magical powers, they are also believed to ward off evil when worn.
In regards to other symbolism, stones are used to represent each American state, days of the week, even the four seasons.
Birthstones are slightly different in regards to magical powers as many of the stones. These stones are believed to have played an important role in Christian, Pagan, and Hebrew religious ceremonies and rituals. The stones are also believed to have healing powers. Emerald, for example, is believed to work with the eyes and can be good for vision and curing eye related illnesses. Red stones, such as Garnet, are used to clot the blood and to stop the flow of blood during surgeries or injuries. Obviously, to cure Jaundice yellow stones seem to be the best choice.
Since Astrology has taken off and increased in popularity over the years, it seems that there is an endless array of information available on birthstones and other things associated with Astrology. Even after all these years, it is very interesting and intriguing to know that the stones still hold the magical powers that they did centuries ago.
