According to Jewish tradition, Abraham was born in the city of Ur in Babylonia in the year 1948 from Creation (circa 1800 BCE). He was the son of Terach, an idol merchant.
The night before Abram was born, King Nimrod’s astrologers were gathered at Terah’s house. Looking out into the night sky, they read in the constellation of the stars that the newly born child was to become the chief and the father of a mighty nation.
From his early childhood, Abtaham questioned the faith of his father and sought the truth. He came to believe that the entire universe was the work of a single Creator the Lord, and he began to teach this belief to others.
Abram had watched the sun and the moon and the stars coming and going, each in its own time. He had noticed the sun giving way to the moon, despite its apparent divine power, and the moon giving place to the sun in the morning.
And so Abraham reasoned that there must be a power above and beyond all the visible forces of nature, an entity Who had created them, and Who regulated and controlled them at all times. Behind the limited power of all nature, young Abrham perceived the unlimited and timeless existence of Lord.
Then Lord made Himself known to Abrham and taught him the right way of living.
And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”Genisis Chp 15/5.
The book of the Zohar Interpretation is that Abraham foreseed in the stars that he should not have any descendants, but the Lord said to Abrahm, saying you shell not look it too the wisdom of the stars, but in to the secrete wisdom of my name, there you wil find out the feuture. Sefer Hazohar , Perush Hasulam Vol IV L’ech L’lecha
Rabbi Yochanan gives his interpretation to this episode saying namely, that Abraham left the influence of the stars, sinc e he cecome bleesed to be above the zodiac impact. Abraham the Astrologer forsee in the stars that he shoud not have any sons in his desteny, Abrahan told the Lord what he predict about his descendants, than the Lord took him out and toled Abraham look atthe stars and try to caunt them,as much stars are in the sky as much will be your descedants,from now you (Abraham) are above the influence of the zodiacl system.
Jewish tradition attributed to Abraham the books “S’efer H’yetzira -The Book of Creation”, this book is containing a few pages only, and this book outlines the influence not only of the stars but also the constellations familiar to Western Astrology. How ever this book is written like a book of codes, and those codes are the secrets of the time and space, all the hidden secrets of the universe
See “The Secrets of Time “ by Rabbi Dr’ Philip S. Berg
Thus Abraham was first of all an astrologer, up to the time that the Lord ordered him to live the zodiacal system. The Lord thought Abraham the secrets of the Lord’s names, and how to manipulate the Alfa Beta characters, since that point in time, Abraham is a prophet which recieves his knololedge in a direct communication with the Lord, knowing the Lord names secretes and powers, strength and might.
How ever although abaham chaneged his way ( since he was not under the influence of the zodical sysytem), a grate respect to Astrology remins.
We can learen about his respect to astrology from the scene which took place at the encounter of Abraham and Malkchi-Zedek, Malkchi-Zedek was a high prist for the Lord, living in the city named Shalem which is the city of Jerusalem, Malkchi -Zedek was under the patronage of the planet Jupiter (ZEDEK). Abraham acknowledge the important of Malkchi-Zedek and there for submited hid with giftes as they condacted thire meeting at the enterence to the city Shalem
See Dov Schwartz “ Astral magic in Medival Jewish Thought”
Balaam
“Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time, So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me. “Now, therefore, please come, curse this people for me since they are too mighty for me; perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land”.Numbers 22/1
Balaam, the far-famed soothsayer, operated to a certain extent in genuine spiritual power, he was sensitive to the spiritual realm, and he knew how to operate in it very well. Balaam curses were regarded as all-powerful,.
Balaam utilized his gift for destruction and damnation, seeking to manipulate divine will against the victims of his wrath. Balaam intended to apply his usual tactics,namnly sorcery and soothsaying. But, in an ironic twist of faith, the Lord pulled the curses from Balaam's mouth and implanted instead a beautiful ode to the Jews--an ode that ranks as the highest praise of Jewish people in all of the Torah.
Balaam knew how to manipulate the heavenly powers on the ertly inhabitants, since he (Balaam) knew the secrets of the signs and planets.
See.: Ibn Ezra, “ Interpretation to the Thora Numbers 22/25”
Ibn Ezra’s aim was to underestemate Balaam’s powers as a person how can change the natur’s caurse.Ezras whish was to reduce Balaam ability to astrology only , but probebly Balaam’s powers were much mor developed and powerful than just Astrology can do, Balaam had deep unrevealed powerful secrets that now one can match with them.See: Dov Schwartz “Astral Magic in Medieval Jewish Thought”
The Nahmanides consept was that all Balaam action were according to his Astrological ability and not according to his magical ability, which means that someone has disterbed Balaam’s powers in action. See: Nahmanides and his “Intepratation to the Thora Numbers 22/33, 23/23.”
Shemuel Ibn Tzartza interpreted that episode by saying that Balaam was trying to manipulate the planet Saturn, since Saturn is the ruler of the evil, he devastates lands, he arouses wars, and destroys kingdoms, moreover Balaam was in a hesitation should he use Mars’s powers or Saturn’s, finely he decided to use Saturn’s influence. See: Dov Schwartz “Astral Magic in Medieval Jewish Thought”
Balaam challenged Moses on the pre-Sinai system, hoping to turn the Lord against his own children. Moses opposed him on the post-Sinai system, which actualized the truth that even on the most transcendent level Jacob would always be the favorite because his conduct is better, but because he is the chosen one. Here we had a straggle between two of the most spiritual powerful prophets figures in the Bible, one how was against the Lord trying to manipulate his will, and the other hand one who is serving the Lord and his obeys.
Moses
Moses (1393-1273BC) The greatest profhet to ever lived. Moses son of Amram and Jocheved’brother of Miriam and Aahron.
Moses was born in Egypt, and was raised by Pharaoh’s daugther Betiyah.Moses after killing an Egyptian during a struggle fled to Midian, where he marrid Zipporah.Moses were sent beck to Egypt by the Lord to led the Israelites out, Moses led the Israelites for forty years while they were traveling in the dersert of Sini, all the while Moses was performing astonishing miracles and wonders. Moses died in the Plains of Moabb.
The day approached when, according to the Egyptian astrologers, the liberator of the children of Israel was to be born. Since they did not know whether he would be of Jewish or Egyptian descent, all male children born that day, were to be thrown into the water by order of King Pharaoh. This same day, the seventh of Adar, Jochebed, Amram's wife, gave birth to her third child, a boy.
“Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a daughter of Levi. The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was beautiful, she hid him for three months But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile…..
The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the Nile, with her maidens walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid, and she brought it to her. When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, "This is one of the Hebrews' children."
The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. And she named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water”.
See :"Exodus 2/.2-10
Moses, as Pharaoh's adopted son, was well versed in Egyptian astrology. As the adopted son of pharaoh's daughter he was well educated in all the mystery school wisdom of Egyptr. He correlated the attributes of the twelve signs to the twelve tribes of Israel, then took the people from the tabernacle in the wilderness on their pilgrimage, lined up by zodiacal order. Rabbinical tradition asserts that the signs of the zodiac have represented the twelve tribes since antiquity.
Moses as a Prince was heir to Pharaoh Thutmose III, being his "Great Army Commander" - role ascribed to Moses by Hebrew tradition. Moreover, Moses led victorious military campaigns against Ethiopia (Cush), then married the king's daughter, becoming Egypt's Viceroy there. A short time later, the Prince was mysteriously struck out of Egyptian records, while the Bible hints Moses was cast into exile. Exploring some of the more esoteric aspects of the prophet's life.
The book uncovers the Hermetic star knowledge (Astrology) which Moses gleaned from the White Brotherhood, a secretive Egyptian mystery school who met in the halls of Karnak. This knowledge was cryptically infused into the early Biblical scriptures, revealing the Israelite ancestors were once devoted Astrologers.

Astrology Compatibility
Have you ever wondered about what type of person you are astrologically compatible with, or astrologically how compatible are you with your present partner? No..? According to the principles of astrology, nobody is born perfect, but once you know what the reasons for your problems are, you're half on your way to resolving them.
Although many people do not realise this, in some Eastern cultures, astrology is considered to be a reliable and accurate way of determining just how compatible two people are for each other. In India, where most marriages are arranged by the families of the bride and groom, an astrological compatibility check is often considered to be essential before matters are formally pursued. Such a check would involve a comparing of the horoscopes of the bride and groom according the Vedic astrology principle of 'Ashkut Milan'. This is a comparison of eight basic astrological characteristics, which include intellectual compatibility, degree of mutual attraction, level of mutual beneficence, physical/biological compatibility, emotional compatibility, compatibility of temperaments, progeny, possible conflicts due to past karma (hereditary) causes.
If carried out correctly, an expert astrologer can analyse the results of such a comparison and provide a comprehensive report that covers:
• A point by point comparison of these eight characteristics.
• An explanation of the role and effect of each characteristic.
• A compatibility score, on a scale of 1 to 36.
• A summary of the planetary comparisons of the two horoscopes.
An astrological comparison of two people isn't just limited to their personal relationship either. Astrological compatibility reports of this nature are regularly consulted before business partnerships are entered into, as they allow two individuals to identify possible areas of conflict or areas where they may compliment one another, thereby accurately determining what type of people can form successful business or professional partnerships. This can be of particular interest if you wish to know how well you will get on with your new boss or colleague, or who you should or shouldn't go into business with. Of course, in order to make such analysis, the exact time, date and place of birth of the two concerned persons are required. However, even if this information is not available, a simpler analysis can be made using ‘Horary Astrology’, which will allow the enquirer to received a simple ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to their query.
One has to bear in mind though, that an 'Ashkut Milan' astrology compatibility report is not similar to the free readings one may find on many Western astrology based websites. As these free readings are usually generic comparisons of Sun Signs and are therefore too general in nature to be of any purposeful value. Eastern (Vedic) astrology, on the other hand, follows the Moon Sign and Moon Chart system and a well prepared 'Ashkut Milan' comparison will deliver a clear and concise conclusion, confirming whether two individuals are, or are not compatible with each other.
Another important point that one must also keep in mind is that astrological predictions are not similar to psychic readings, which rely on the power of intuition. Astrological predictions involve interpreting planetary alignments and transits, as they exist in an individual’s horoscope, according to the well defined laws of astrology. While astrological predictions are usually more accurate than psychic readings, they do not allow for the analysis of micro - detail. Therefore, the enquirer should expect broad, but accurate predictions.
Above all, making an astrological reading is a serious business and must be dealt with in a similar frame of mind, in order for accurate, meaningful predictions to be made. Most astrologers agree that if frivolous questions are asked, misguided predictions follow. Below are a few examples of the types of questions that fall into this category. These are actual contributions that were sent to PowerFortunes.com. Unfortunately, the senders are still waiting for replies and shall continue to do so for quite some time to come:
1. Does so and so fancy me?
2. What will I have for breakfast tomorrow?
3. Will I buy new clothes tomorrow?
4. What will my life be like? (That’s really narrowing it down. - Not)
6. What is the colour of my ex - girlfriend's hair?
7. Will I get a tattoo on Saturday? (Yes, right next to the one on your brain.)
Considering that most marriages in India are of the ‘Arranged’ variety and the divorce rate amongst those marriages is less than 2%, if nothing else the statistical evidence alone, would seem to suggest that there may be more to, 'Ashkut Milan' astrological compatibility reports, than one might first suspect.

Chinese astrology
Chinese astrology's historical background
Chinese astrology is undoubtedly the oldest coherent method of divination in the world — it came into existence some seventeen centuries before the Bible. It has influenced — and even regulated — the lives of countless generations in the Far East from time immemorial. Contrary to what one might think, the progress of modern science in all fields has not tarnished its image as an esteemed guide to human destiny and self-discovery. In fact, the East Asians are no longer the only persons to have recourse to Chinese astrology; more and more people in the industrialized, rationalistic Western world, and especially in the United States, are getting awakened to and interested in this system of fortune-telling which took root in one of the most prestigious known civilizations.
The foremost origins of Chinese astrology are shrouded in the haze of the ancient times. No one is able to tell exactly when and under what conditions this method of divination came into use. It is known however that Chinese astrology under one form or another had been widely practiced in the Orient since the 40th century BC and especially since the times of the Chinese Emperors Fu Hsi (2953-2838 BC) and Shen Nung (born in the 28th century BC).
This discipline was codified by Ta Nao, an able minister of Emperor Huang Ti (born c. 2704 BC), whose reign had begun in 2697 BC. It was officialized in 2637 BC. Its formal inauguration, among other historical events, was designed to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the popular Emperor's accession to the throne. And during the following forty-six centuries it was used as the canon of all state affairs in China.
The system has undergone many minor changes through the ages. The latest modification took place in the early tenth century AD, when the notorious astrologer Tran Doan fixed the number of stars used at 111.
Ever since it officially came into effect nearly 5,000 years ago, Chinese astrology has functioned smoothly, uninterruptedly, like a perfect clockwork, and provided countless generations with enlightenment and guidance.
The pillars of Chinese astrology
Chinese astrology, like almost all other Chinese disciplines, reposes on four main pillars, which call for some succinct comments. These pillars are: the concept of Yang and Yin, the notion of the Five Elements, the patterns of all cosmic transformations, and finally the Chinese calendar.
Yang and Yin
According to the ancient Chinese, the entire Universe, as it presents itself to our observation, owes its existence to the perennial and incessant interaction between two primal forces, or principles, called Yang and Yin. In other words, it is the interplay between Yang and Yin that makes up the ever-changing flow of natural processes. (The Yang-Yin concept can be traced back to Fu Hsi who is said to have discovered the famous Chinese trigrams used in Chinese divination. Yin is represented graphically by a broken line ––, and Yang by an unbroken line ─ .) As a consequence, any situation in the Universe — be it a rainy night or a sunny day, a rock or a living organism, a change or a transformation, peace or war, luck or misfortune, disease or well-being, and so on — is believed to be the ineluctable result of a specific relationship, or rather a specific balance of power, between Yang and Yin. Furthermore, Yin is associated with the negative (passive, female, docile, etc.) force, whereas Yang is a representation of the positive (active, male, aggressive, etc.) force. (Yang and Yin literally mean "sunny side" and "dark side" of a hill.) The following statement in the Hsi Tz'u sums up this theory fairly well: "The virile and the docile displace each other and produce the changes and transformations" (Sec. I, Ch. 2).
To have an idea of what Yang and Yin are, let's compare them to the positive and negative charges of modern science's atoms.
Since Yang and Yin are at the root of all aspects and phenomena of existence, everything is related to everything else, and in the last analysis man and the world of nature form a unified whole — respectively a microcosm within the macrocosm. Health, character, fortune and misfortune, and the success or failure of all public and private ventures are assumed to be determined by the preponderance, at the times and in the specific "proportions", of Yin over Yang or vice versa. To put it differently, there exists a close interdependence between the world of nature and the events of man. Here lies the most important postulate that acts as a justification for the raison d'être of Chinese astrology.
The Five Elements
Yang and Yin constitute the limits that embrace all things — male and female, light and dark, hot and cold, high and low, pair and impair, extension and compression, growth and decline, birth and death, and so forth. But since Yang and Yin perpetually react to each other, the cosmos is not static: change is its essence. And, it is believed, the material as well as immaterial worlds resulting from the myriad mutual interactions of Yang and Yin are reducible to five basic sorts of phenomena, or Elements, called Wu Hsing.
The Five Elements are: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These are cosmic "agents," conceived as basic powers, or forces, operating in the world of change — by opposing, complementing, or succeeding one another. These forces, like the atoms that explain the Universe of modern science, produce all things and situations through their various interactions and permutations.
It must be made clear that the Five Elements are the basis of differentiation of things and situations, whereas Yang and Yin constitute their actuality. To put it figuratively, Yang and Yin may be likened to an entire egg — with its shell — while the Five Elements, thanks to their mutual reactions, cause the egg white and yolk to undergo a multitude of changes within the shell. As can be seen, the power of the Five Elements is secondary to that of the couple Yang-Yin.
It should be pointed out that Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are only symbols used to represent the five basic cosmic forces.
Patterns of cosmic transformations
In what way do cosmic transformations occur? According to Chinese observation, they appear as having two definite characteristics. First, they are not blind, anarchic, but follow certain trends that permit us to classify them into a number of main categories; in other words, while the Universe is in a perpetual flux, this flux obeys definite laws, fall into regular, fixed and therefore predictable patterns. Should this situation be otherwise, Chinese astrology as we know it would not have existed since there would not have been any predictive basis to it. Second, cosmic transformations do not take place in a linear succession, in the manner of the "flowing stream" dear to Heraclitus Ephesus (530-470 BC), but in a distinctly cyclic fashion. Both Yin-Yang and the Five Elements lend substance to the characteristically Chinese belief in the cyclical theory of becoming and dissolution concerning seasons, history, fortune, misfortune, prosperity, decline, and so on. In sum, everything is believed to proceed in cycles.
Recording of cycles
According to Chinese thinking, there exist two main evolutionary cycles in the Universe — the duodecimal cycle with twelve units, and the decimal cycle with ten units.
To name such units, the Chinese use neither numeral nor ordinal terms — the equivalent of one, two, three, or of first, second, third, etc. — but resort to special words. The Vietnamese names of the duodecimal cycle's units are: Ti, Suu, Dan, Mao, Thin, Ty, Ngo, Mui, Than, Dau, Tuat, Hoi. And the Vietnamese names of the decimal cycle's units are: Giap, At, Binh, Dinh, Mau, Ky, Canh, Tan, Nham, Quy. (These Vietnamese names are exact transcriptions of the Chinese names, and I cite them because they have the advantage of being written in the Roman alphabet.)
At one time the ancient Chinese decided to place each of the duodecimal cycle's units under the symbol of a familiar animal as a mnemotechnical device. The twelve symbolic animals are the following, in due order: Rat, Buffalo, Tiger, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. (In some East Asian countries, the Buffalo is replaced by the Ox, the Cat by the Rabbit or Hare, the Goat by the Sheep or Ram, and the Pig by the Boar. The symbolism remains the same.)
What were the reasons for the choice of these specific animals? The ancient Chinese had recourse to these symbols to put into concrete form their findings about the results of the specific relationship between Yang and Yin each of the duodecimal cycle's units. In other words, each unit of the duodecimal cycle undergoes the influence of a definite balance of power between the two primal forces, and this balance of power is symbolized by an animal which seems the most fit to play the role. For instance, a slow-moving and docile animal like the Buffalo suggests a predominance of Yin over Yang in a specific proportion, while a vivacious, frisky animal like the Horse indicates a contrary situation.
On the other hand, every set of two consecutive units of the decimal cycle was placed under the jurisdiction of a cosmic element. Thus, Giap and At are governed by Wood, Binh and Dinh by Fire, Mau and Ky by Earth, Canh and Tan by Metal, Nham and Quy by Water.
There also exists a third main cycle, which is a combination of the two preceding cycles, and has sixty units (12 x 5 = 60). It's called the sexagenary cycle. This cycle evolves as follows:
1st unit: Giap-Ti or Wood Rat
2nd unit: At-Suu or Wood Buffalo
3rd unit: Binh-Dan or Fire Tiger
4th unit: Dinh-Mao or Fire Cat
5th unit: Mau-Thin or Earth Dragon
6th unit: Ky-Ty or Earth Snake
7th unit: Canh-Ngo or Metal Horse
8th unit: Tan-Mui or Metal Goat
9th unit: Nham-Than or Water Monkey
10th unit: Quy-Dau or Water Rooster
11th unit: Giap-Tuat or Wood Dog
12th unit: At-Hoi or Wood Pig
13th unit: Binh-Ti or Fire Rat
14th unit: Dinh-Suu or Fire Buffalo
15th unit: Mau-Dan or Earth Tiger
16th unit: Ky-Mao or Earth Cat
......... ......... ...............
58th unit: Tan-Dau or Metal Rooster
59th unit: Nham-Tuat or Water Dog
60th unit: Quy-Hoi or Water Pig
As can be seen, the sexagenary cycle's first unit is always Wood Rat, the second unit Wood Buffalo, the tenth unit Water Rooster, and the sixtieth and last unit Water Pig.
Use of the main cycles
The three main cycles discussed above are applied to many categories of things, and especially to all Chinese time units — epoch, century, year, month, day, hour.
Chinese astrology, for its part, makes use of the duodecimal and sexagenary cycles as applied to Chinese years, months, days and hours.
Since the count began in the year 2637 BC (see preceding section), that year was a Rat year (duodecimal cycle) and also a Wood Rat year (sexagenary cycle), the following year (2636 BC) was a Buffalo year and also a Wood Buffalo year, and so on. Proceeding this way we can know that the year 1997 AD was a Fire Buffalo year and that all people born in that year are known to Chinese astrologers as Fire Buffaloes.
The Chinese twelve-year cycle is of paramount importance and is also called the Chinese zodiac. The word "zodiac" (literally, "circle of animals") is fully justified here, while it is not in Western astrology as Gemini, Virgo, Libra and Aquarius are not represented by animals.
Let it be known that the first month of any Chinese year is always a Tiger month.

The Chinese calendar
The Chinese calendar is the last of the four main pillars of Chinese astrology. It is unquestionably the most perfect in the world since it takes into account both the sun's and the moon's revolutions — the Gregorian calendar is only patterned on the sun to the exclusion of the moon, while the Jewish and Muslim calendars are only patterned on the moon to the exclusion of the sun.
The Chinese calendar officially came into existence at the same time as Chinese astrology — under the reign of Emperor Huang Ti, in the year 2637 BC.
Chinese months are replicas of the moon's revolutions, or lunations. They invariably begin with a new-moon day. Consequently, Chinese months are lunar.
Chinese years are replicas of the sun's revolutions, or tropical years. They invariably begin with the second new-moon day after the winter solstice. Consequently, Chinese years are solar, contrary to common belief. The Chinese New Year's day is movable — just as Easter Day, which is also tributary of the moon — and takes place somewhere between January 21st and February 20th according to astronomic circumstances.
How Chinese astrology works
In the last analysis, Chinese astrology is nothing else than an enormous catalog of the innumerable circumstances which result from the intricate interplay between Yang and Yin as well as between the Five Elements, and are translated into the human sphere. Each moment of a person's life is believed to correspond to a definite state of this interplay.
To pinpoint definite states of the cosmic interplay in people's lives, Chinese astrology makes use of two principal tools — the Chinese twelve-year zodiac (or cycle), and the Chinese stars.
The Chinese twelve-year zodiac
As has been said, the duodecimal zodiac is composed of twelve Chinese years. Each of these years is placed under the jurisdiction of a symbolic animal.
All people of the same sex born under the same animal symbol — in the same Chinese year — are believed to undergo the influence of the same set of Yang-Yin interactions and, consequently, to have the same destiny capital; this means they are assumed to be endowed with about the same character traits, the same assets and liabilities, the same potentialities and limitations, the same strengths and weaknesses, the same opportunities and problems, the same preferences and aversions, the same health privileges and pathological predispositions, the same reaction patterns and emotional makeup, and so on. To put it differently, they are assumed to fit in with the same general mold. To know the Chinese birth year of a person, therefore, means to have access to knowing the main features of his (or her) personality and destiny.
On the other hand, each Chinese year in the duodecimal cycle is supposed to bring about a definite course of events in the world's affairs, and also to exercise a different influence on people born under different animal symbols.
The influence of the Elements, although important, is secondary to that of the Yang-Yin interplay. It brings some precision to the character portraits symbolized by the animals. The role of the Elements in Chinese astrology is somewhat similar to that of the Ascendants in Western astrology. Thus, while all Horses possess the same set of primary destiny features, a Fire Horse differs slightly from his brother Metal Horse, and the latter's traits are not quite similar to those of a Water Horse, and so on.
The Chinese stars
One hundred and eleven stars (or planets) are used in Chinese astrology. Only ten of these stars are known to Western astrology — Jupiter, Mars, Moon, Mercury, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, Sun, Uranus, and Venus. The other hundred and one stars are celestial bodies or constellations whose nature had been studied by the Chinese for thousands of years.
Unlike what happens in Western astrology, the Chinese stars are not believed to exercise direct influence on people and the world, but are used only as symbols of various sets of cosmic interactions — just as the twelve animals represent other sets.
The combination of the twelve-year zodiac and the 111 stars gives us a total of 512,640 personality charts. This means that, out of more than a million persons, only two individuals would fit in with about the same description! These two individuals may, furthermore, be somewhat different from each other due to their respective social and geographical environment as well as to other factors.
On the other hand, the combination of the twelve-year zodiac and the 111 stars allows the astrologer to know probable past and future events in his consultant's life, and also to advise him on how to favorably modify the course of his destiny.
The scope of Chinese astrology
Is Chinese astrology a valid system of fortune-telling and a reliable method of destiny analysis, or is it simply a carefully studied hoax? Can it really teach us something useful? Can it still have its raison d'être at the threshold of the twenty-first century?
The mere fact that Chinese astrology is thriving not only in the Orient but also in the Western world does not necessarily imply its validity, for "in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible" (Bertrand Russell). We should therefore appraise its value by basing ourselves on other criteria.
Chinese astrology as a science
Many practitioners of Chinese astrology claim that this is a science in the ordinary sense of the word. They base their contention on the fact that this discipline, philosophical though it may sound, reposes on the foundations that are getting more and more scientific confirmation. They point out that Chinese acupuncture and macrobiotic cookery, both issued from the concepts of Yin-Yang and from notion of the Five Elements, just like Chinese astrology, have worked irrefutable wonders and are winning over an ever-increasing number of followers throughout the world.
Rationalistic-minded people may feel skeptical about the true, objective value of Chinese astrology since its findings are not open to scientific demonstration and verification. To allay such suspicion, supporters generally answer that Chinese astrology, in all fairness, must be viewed not as an exact science but as a science dealing with human beings, who are endowed with free will and subject to the influence of their multifaceted environment; it is concededly unable to predict all the details of any person's character and destiny but can assess many aspects of human life in a general way. While it is only fair to allow this science a reasonable margin of uncertainty concerning specific individuals — so the argument goes — its teachings have revealed themselves through the ages quite relevant and sometimes even startling as far as "average" persons are concerned.
My opinion is that Chinese astrology still has to prove its worth conclusively. But it does deserve a fair trial, even though you do not believe in its merits, since in practicing it we run no risk of losing anything and may hit upon the truth. If you subscribe to the idea that only results count, then Chinese astrology is very worthwhile since it has worked indisputable wonders. In any case, Chinese astrology as an earnest study of human character can help acquire a sharp flair for human psychology and behavior. Of course, Chinese astrology, like any other esoteric discipline, cannot expect to be immune against more or less blatant quackery.
Chinese astrology as an art
It would not be excessive to view true Chinese astrology as an art. Unlike other astrologies or methods of divination in the world, it never concerns itself with death, reincarnation or the great Beyond; on the contrary, it deals with the individual as a subject who actually lives in this world and who is free to follow the course of action and reaction of his own choice. It never sets up hard-and-fast rules that would give way to a mechanical interpretation.
Chinese astrologers of the purest tradition never lose sight of all the imponderables that surround the life of the individual. They are artists rather than scientists — they make more use of their intuition, insight and open-mindedness than of their erudition; in other words, they practice their craft in accordance with the rules of the art.
My interpretation of Chinese astrology
As is the case with the I Ching — the bible of the Chinese — the fundamental data of Chinese astrology were given in a very succinct, almost enigmatic form. They need to be explained, paraphrased and formulated explicitly if they are intended for present-day popular use.
On the other hand, since life is an ever-changing process, the inventors of Chinese astrology could not obviously foresee in detail what might happen centuries afterwards; it was impossible for them, for instance, to tackle such items as space travels, the atomic bomb, the telephone, the television, the Women's Liberation Movement, computers, or Internet. But they did give enough basic hints about the eternal components of human nature which could and should be adequately interpreted in the light of given circumstances.
My own interpretation of Chinese astrology has always been to translate the basic teachings of this discipline into terms relevant to the Western world and late-twentieth-century life. And I have tried to do it as faithfully as possible.

Chinese astrology is undoubtedly the oldest coherent method of divination in the world — it came into existence some seventeen centuries before the Bible. It has influenced — and even regulated — the lives of countless generations in the Far East from time immemorial. Contrary to what one might think, the progress of modern science in all fields has not tarnished its image as an esteemed guide to human destiny and self-discovery. In fact, the East Asians are no longer the only persons to have recourse to Chinese astrology; more and more people in the industrialized, rationalistic Western world, and especially in the United States, are getting awakened to and interested in this system of fortune-telling which took root in one of the most prestigious known civilizations.
The foremost origins of Chinese astrology are shrouded in the haze of the ancient times. No one is able to tell exactly when and under what conditions this method of divination came into use. It is known however that Chinese astrology under one form or another had been widely practiced in the Orient since the 40th century BC and especially since the times of the Chinese Emperors Fu Hsi (2953-2838 BC) and Shen Nung (born in the 28th century BC).
This discipline was codified by Ta Nao, an able minister of Emperor Huang Ti (born c. 2704 BC), whose reign had begun in 2697 BC. It was officialized in 2637 BC. Its formal inauguration, among other historical events, was designed to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the popular Emperor's accession to the throne. And during the following forty-six centuries it was used as the canon of all state affairs in China.
The system has undergone many minor changes through the ages. The latest modification took place in the early tenth century AD, when the notorious astrologer Tran Doan fixed the number of stars used at 111.
Ever since it officially came into effect nearly 5,000 years ago, Chinese astrology has functioned smoothly, uninterruptedly, like a perfect clockwork, and provided countless generations with enlightenment and guidance.
The pillars of Chinese astrology
Chinese astrology, like almost all other Chinese disciplines, reposes on four main pillars, which call for some succinct comments. These pillars are: the concept of Yang and Yin, the notion of the Five Elements, the patterns of all cosmic transformations, and finally the Chinese calendar.
Yang and Yin
According to the ancient Chinese, the entire Universe, as it presents itself to our observation, owes its existence to the perennial and incessant interaction between two primal forces, or principles, called Yang and Yin. In other words, it is the interplay between Yang and Yin that makes up the ever-changing flow of natural processes. (The Yang-Yin concept can be traced back to Fu Hsi who is said to have discovered the famous Chinese trigrams used in Chinese divination. Yin is represented graphically by a broken line ––, and Yang by an unbroken line ─ .) As a consequence, any situation in the Universe — be it a rainy night or a sunny day, a rock or a living organism, a change or a transformation, peace or war, luck or misfortune, disease or well-being, and so on — is believed to be the ineluctable result of a specific relationship, or rather a specific balance of power, between Yang and Yin. Furthermore, Yin is associated with the negative (passive, female, docile, etc.) force, whereas Yang is a representation of the positive (active, male, aggressive, etc.) force. (Yang and Yin literally mean "sunny side" and "dark side" of a hill.) The following statement in the Hsi Tz'u sums up this theory fairly well: "The virile and the docile displace each other and produce the changes and transformations" (Sec. I, Ch. 2).
To have an idea of what Yang and Yin are, let's compare them to the positive and negative charges of modern science's atoms.
Since Yang and Yin are at the root of all aspects and phenomena of existence, everything is related to everything else, and in the last analysis man and the world of nature form a unified whole — respectively a microcosm within the macrocosm. Health, character, fortune and misfortune, and the success or failure of all public and private ventures are assumed to be determined by the preponderance, at the times and in the specific "proportions", of Yin over Yang or vice versa. To put it differently, there exists a close interdependence between the world of nature and the events of man. Here lies the most important postulate that acts as a justification for the raison d'être of Chinese astrology.
The Five Elements
Yang and Yin constitute the limits that embrace all things — male and female, light and dark, hot and cold, high and low, pair and impair, extension and compression, growth and decline, birth and death, and so forth. But since Yang and Yin perpetually react to each other, the cosmos is not static: change is its essence. And, it is believed, the material as well as immaterial worlds resulting from the myriad mutual interactions of Yang and Yin are reducible to five basic sorts of phenomena, or Elements, called Wu Hsing.
The Five Elements are: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These are cosmic "agents," conceived as basic powers, or forces, operating in the world of change — by opposing, complementing, or succeeding one another. These forces, like the atoms that explain the Universe of modern science, produce all things and situations through their various interactions and permutations.
It must be made clear that the Five Elements are the basis of differentiation of things and situations, whereas Yang and Yin constitute their actuality. To put it figuratively, Yang and Yin may be likened to an entire egg — with its shell — while the Five Elements, thanks to their mutual reactions, cause the egg white and yolk to undergo a multitude of changes within the shell. As can be seen, the power of the Five Elements is secondary to that of the couple Yang-Yin.
It should be pointed out that Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are only symbols used to represent the five basic cosmic forces.
Patterns of cosmic transformations
In what way do cosmic transformations occur? According to Chinese observation, they appear as having two definite characteristics. First, they are not blind, anarchic, but follow certain trends that permit us to classify them into a number of main categories; in other words, while the Universe is in a perpetual flux, this flux obeys definite laws, fall into regular, fixed and therefore predictable patterns. Should this situation be otherwise, Chinese astrology as we know it would not have existed since there would not have been any predictive basis to it. Second, cosmic transformations do not take place in a linear succession, in the manner of the "flowing stream" dear to Heraclitus Ephesus (530-470 BC), but in a distinctly cyclic fashion. Both Yin-Yang and the Five Elements lend substance to the characteristically Chinese belief in the cyclical theory of becoming and dissolution concerning seasons, history, fortune, misfortune, prosperity, decline, and so on. In sum, everything is believed to proceed in cycles.
Recording of cycles
According to Chinese thinking, there exist two main evolutionary cycles in the Universe — the duodecimal cycle with twelve units, and the decimal cycle with ten units.
To name such units, the Chinese use neither numeral nor ordinal terms — the equivalent of one, two, three, or of first, second, third, etc. — but resort to special words. The Vietnamese names of the duodecimal cycle's units are: Ti, Suu, Dan, Mao, Thin, Ty, Ngo, Mui, Than, Dau, Tuat, Hoi. And the Vietnamese names of the decimal cycle's units are: Giap, At, Binh, Dinh, Mau, Ky, Canh, Tan, Nham, Quy. (These Vietnamese names are exact transcriptions of the Chinese names, and I cite them because they have the advantage of being written in the Roman alphabet.)
At one time the ancient Chinese decided to place each of the duodecimal cycle's units under the symbol of a familiar animal as a mnemotechnical device. The twelve symbolic animals are the following, in due order: Rat, Buffalo, Tiger, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. (In some East Asian countries, the Buffalo is replaced by the Ox, the Cat by the Rabbit or Hare, the Goat by the Sheep or Ram, and the Pig by the Boar. The symbolism remains the same.)
What were the reasons for the choice of these specific animals? The ancient Chinese had recourse to these symbols to put into concrete form their findings about the results of the specific relationship between Yang and Yin each of the duodecimal cycle's units. In other words, each unit of the duodecimal cycle undergoes the influence of a definite balance of power between the two primal forces, and this balance of power is symbolized by an animal which seems the most fit to play the role. For instance, a slow-moving and docile animal like the Buffalo suggests a predominance of Yin over Yang in a specific proportion, while a vivacious, frisky animal like the Horse indicates a contrary situation.
On the other hand, every set of two consecutive units of the decimal cycle was placed under the jurisdiction of a cosmic element. Thus, Giap and At are governed by Wood, Binh and Dinh by Fire, Mau and Ky by Earth, Canh and Tan by Metal, Nham and Quy by Water.
There also exists a third main cycle, which is a combination of the two preceding cycles, and has sixty units (12 x 5 = 60). It's called the sexagenary cycle. This cycle evolves as follows:
1st unit: Giap-Ti or Wood Rat
2nd unit: At-Suu or Wood Buffalo
3rd unit: Binh-Dan or Fire Tiger
4th unit: Dinh-Mao or Fire Cat
5th unit: Mau-Thin or Earth Dragon
6th unit: Ky-Ty or Earth Snake
7th unit: Canh-Ngo or Metal Horse
8th unit: Tan-Mui or Metal Goat
9th unit: Nham-Than or Water Monkey
10th unit: Quy-Dau or Water Rooster
11th unit: Giap-Tuat or Wood Dog
12th unit: At-Hoi or Wood Pig
13th unit: Binh-Ti or Fire Rat
14th unit: Dinh-Suu or Fire Buffalo
15th unit: Mau-Dan or Earth Tiger
16th unit: Ky-Mao or Earth Cat
......... ......... ...............
58th unit: Tan-Dau or Metal Rooster
59th unit: Nham-Tuat or Water Dog
60th unit: Quy-Hoi or Water Pig
As can be seen, the sexagenary cycle's first unit is always Wood Rat, the second unit Wood Buffalo, the tenth unit Water Rooster, and the sixtieth and last unit Water Pig.
Use of the main cycles
The three main cycles discussed above are applied to many categories of things, and especially to all Chinese time units — epoch, century, year, month, day, hour.
Chinese astrology, for its part, makes use of the duodecimal and sexagenary cycles as applied to Chinese years, months, days and hours.
Since the count began in the year 2637 BC (see preceding section), that year was a Rat year (duodecimal cycle) and also a Wood Rat year (sexagenary cycle), the following year (2636 BC) was a Buffalo year and also a Wood Buffalo year, and so on. Proceeding this way we can know that the year 1997 AD was a Fire Buffalo year and that all people born in that year are known to Chinese astrologers as Fire Buffaloes.
The Chinese twelve-year cycle is of paramount importance and is also called the Chinese zodiac. The word "zodiac" (literally, "circle of animals") is fully justified here, while it is not in Western astrology as Gemini, Virgo, Libra and Aquarius are not represented by animals.
Let it be known that the first month of any Chinese year is always a Tiger month.

The Chinese calendar
The Chinese calendar is the last of the four main pillars of Chinese astrology. It is unquestionably the most perfect in the world since it takes into account both the sun's and the moon's revolutions — the Gregorian calendar is only patterned on the sun to the exclusion of the moon, while the Jewish and Muslim calendars are only patterned on the moon to the exclusion of the sun.
The Chinese calendar officially came into existence at the same time as Chinese astrology — under the reign of Emperor Huang Ti, in the year 2637 BC.
Chinese months are replicas of the moon's revolutions, or lunations. They invariably begin with a new-moon day. Consequently, Chinese months are lunar.
Chinese years are replicas of the sun's revolutions, or tropical years. They invariably begin with the second new-moon day after the winter solstice. Consequently, Chinese years are solar, contrary to common belief. The Chinese New Year's day is movable — just as Easter Day, which is also tributary of the moon — and takes place somewhere between January 21st and February 20th according to astronomic circumstances.
How Chinese astrology works
In the last analysis, Chinese astrology is nothing else than an enormous catalog of the innumerable circumstances which result from the intricate interplay between Yang and Yin as well as between the Five Elements, and are translated into the human sphere. Each moment of a person's life is believed to correspond to a definite state of this interplay.
To pinpoint definite states of the cosmic interplay in people's lives, Chinese astrology makes use of two principal tools — the Chinese twelve-year zodiac (or cycle), and the Chinese stars.
The Chinese twelve-year zodiac
As has been said, the duodecimal zodiac is composed of twelve Chinese years. Each of these years is placed under the jurisdiction of a symbolic animal.
All people of the same sex born under the same animal symbol — in the same Chinese year — are believed to undergo the influence of the same set of Yang-Yin interactions and, consequently, to have the same destiny capital; this means they are assumed to be endowed with about the same character traits, the same assets and liabilities, the same potentialities and limitations, the same strengths and weaknesses, the same opportunities and problems, the same preferences and aversions, the same health privileges and pathological predispositions, the same reaction patterns and emotional makeup, and so on. To put it differently, they are assumed to fit in with the same general mold. To know the Chinese birth year of a person, therefore, means to have access to knowing the main features of his (or her) personality and destiny.
On the other hand, each Chinese year in the duodecimal cycle is supposed to bring about a definite course of events in the world's affairs, and also to exercise a different influence on people born under different animal symbols.
The influence of the Elements, although important, is secondary to that of the Yang-Yin interplay. It brings some precision to the character portraits symbolized by the animals. The role of the Elements in Chinese astrology is somewhat similar to that of the Ascendants in Western astrology. Thus, while all Horses possess the same set of primary destiny features, a Fire Horse differs slightly from his brother Metal Horse, and the latter's traits are not quite similar to those of a Water Horse, and so on.
The Chinese stars
One hundred and eleven stars (or planets) are used in Chinese astrology. Only ten of these stars are known to Western astrology — Jupiter, Mars, Moon, Mercury, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, Sun, Uranus, and Venus. The other hundred and one stars are celestial bodies or constellations whose nature had been studied by the Chinese for thousands of years.
Unlike what happens in Western astrology, the Chinese stars are not believed to exercise direct influence on people and the world, but are used only as symbols of various sets of cosmic interactions — just as the twelve animals represent other sets.
The combination of the twelve-year zodiac and the 111 stars gives us a total of 512,640 personality charts. This means that, out of more than a million persons, only two individuals would fit in with about the same description! These two individuals may, furthermore, be somewhat different from each other due to their respective social and geographical environment as well as to other factors.
On the other hand, the combination of the twelve-year zodiac and the 111 stars allows the astrologer to know probable past and future events in his consultant's life, and also to advise him on how to favorably modify the course of his destiny.

Vedic astrology
Vedic astrology, a branch of knowledge of our ancient Vedas, has three main branches or Skandhas, namely, Sidhantha dealing with Astronomy and Mathematics, Samhita dealing with Omens and Hora dealing with Horoscopy, Horary and Muhurtha. Astrology is also called Kalavidhana Sastra or a science that imparts advice about ‘Time’ and its divisions. It helps us to determine the nature of the past, present and future and to find out how the flow of time affects humans, animals and plants. The aim of this branch of knowledge is also to foresee the pleasures and pains of the life on this earth.
Time is the cause for everything that is good and bad - pleasure or pain - in life. Time is the cause of all movements. Even thought is time bound. Thoughts cannot break away form the boundaries caused by time, as they are based on our past and present experiences. To predict the happenings of the future incidents of life, we should study the Time. But we cannot see, touch or hear the Time. However, we can know and comprehend it with our mind and analyze it. This is possible only because we can observe movements. Even thought is a movement. It is only by watching the movements that the concept of the ‘Time’ originates in our mind. The movements we observe from the earth, like the flying of birds, fall of withered leaves from trees, the flowering of plants, the sunrise and sunset, the waxing and waning of the Moon and the subtle cosmic schedules like the movements of planets, make us experience the existence of Time. Time is the cause of all movements. It is the cause for the movements of Earth, Moon and planets. It is the cause for life and death of plants, animals and humans. It is the cause for all our worldly happenings like births, marriages, accidents, diseases, deaths, wealth or poverty or other events, which one could conceive of.
To know about, in advance, the events of the life of humans or to predict the future of anything, we should study Time. We cannot study it directly. But there is a way out, as the Time is the cause for all movements. So, if we study the movements of cosmic bodies like Earth, Moon, Planets, etc., we can know, understand and comprehend the rhythm of Time, its ebbs and flows. If we are able to know the rhythm of Time or the flow of time felt by the human minds, we can predict the life incidents of humans. We can say what he is and what he would become. At the same time, let us not forget that the prediction is probabilistic. Astrology originates from this basic rationale. It is not irrational or irrelevant. In fact, throwing mud on the truthfulness and sincerity of Rishis who created this branch of study is irrational.
By watching the clock we can determine time. But the clock does not control time. When the birds cry we know that it is sunrise. Still, it is not the birds, which cause the sunrise. Similarly the study of planetary movements helps us to predict the past, present and future events of life. In fact, it is not the planets that control the destiny of humans, but time. The sunlight that is reflected by the planets and the attractive forces of planets may have only a little impact on human destiny, but the impact of time is supreme. Here I am emphasizing the importance of time in shaping human destiny compared to the impact of light or attractive forces of planets. It is a truth both the wise astrologer and the scientist know. Planets are just instruments that help us in understanding the rhythm of time, the instrument that helps us in predicting the human destiny. Planets are utilized in astrology in this way. Every believer of Vedic astrology should understand this truth.
When one understands this basic rationale of astrology, the unnecessary arguments and debates will stop. We must try to see astrology in its true theoretical foundation. Why should we argue whether astrology is an art or science? Astrology is nothing but Astrology. If somebody asks whether bat is bird or not, what would be the answer? It will only create an unending array of positive and negative arguments. If somebody asks whether history is science or not, even without my intervention, one will know that the result would be the same. Bat is bat, history is history and astrology is nothing but astrology, neither science nor an art.
The fault lies in our view. Why should we try to cast something into a particular mould, or to limit subjects into some colored boxes? Man wants to classify everything. The truth would be always beyond all the classifications. It stays outside all the classification attempts. The fault lies fundamentally with the fragmented human brain that tries to classify everything, which ultimately leads to erroneous knowledge. This fundamental error remains unsolved and we are trying to limit the subjects in to predefined boxes. It is the second mistake. Will these repeated errors lead us to correct knowledge and view?
When I have written this much, I felt that the fundamental classification error of fragmented human brain should be clarified further. Let me explain. We divide the time in many ways, such as hour, minute, second, or Nadi, Vinadi in Indian system, or as Christian, Vikrama or Kaliyuga eras. Many other systems could be used to divide time. Year, month, day divisions or the solar, sidereal, lunar, will all be the same. There are thousands of methods! All these classifications originated in human mind. Truly, time is beyond all these classifications. Are the hour-minute divisions or the nadi-vinadi divisions correct? Time is continuous. All these classifications are created by the fragmented human brain to comprehend time. Our view is fragmented. It is like a fragmented mirror that shows the picture of the complete and continuous world in a fragmented way. Even though these classifications are necessary for humans to study and comprehend time, the continuous entity “Time” does not need all these classification. Despite the presence or absence of all these classifications, the Time will prevail. Existing always and beyond. Yes, all the classifications are wrong. But human brain cannot but have them. That is why it is said that every branch of study is nothing but “attempts to comprehend the incomprehensible and complete world with fragmented classifications.”
In a fragmented mirror, the reflected world would also be fragmented. It is the fundamental limitation of human brain or mind. That is why it is said, “The eternal truth is realized only in a mindless state.” The Vedic verse “etho vacha nivarthanthe aprapya manasa saha” (where the mind turns back with the unreachable words) - that is Truth,” points to this direction. Due to all these, we cannot but accept the fundamental error of trying to comprehend the non-fragmented existence (world), with the fragmented mind. Can we not at least avoid the second error, i.e. trying to limit astrology into some predefined boxes such as science or art? Can we not avoid such arguments as whether astrology is art or science? Let us try to comprehend astrology in its true theoretical foundation. We must view science as science and art as art and must not mix up both. As the humanity is a quality of man that is not limited by class, creed, color, religion or caste, astrology is a subject that cannot be limited within the classifications such as science or art.
When I see the efforts of people to classify astrology into predefined moulds such as science or art, I am just feeling compassionate, because these classifications are unscientific and non-systematic. A relevant doubt is how to classify all the subjects under human study. The thought process of human mind can be broadly classified into two - 1) analytical 2) holistic. The astrologer refers to this duality using the words ooha-apoha, mathematicians use the words differentiation-integration and others use the technical term analytical approach - holistic approach. Whatever be the terms used, they point to the fundamental difference in the thinking approach. These are two different thinking methods. Most of the braches of knowledge we have today is the product of one of these approaches.
Science is the product of analytical approach. We used to say that science tries to study everything by dividing it into smaller and smaller parts. Science has its own method, based on analytical approach, termed Scientific method. Data collection, concept, formation, analysis, verification are the parts of it. A theory is the final output. Some of these theories may later proclaimed as true mirrors of knowledge or laws. Some of them on new data-input, either get refined or discarded. Thus, science is a continuous search for truth. Starting from small laws that control our daily life and not stopping in-between, it searches for a single law that comprehends everything to describe the whole. Some theories that are refined further and further, become stronger rationally and experimentally. These are proclaimed as laws that become the foundation of science to help or promote further study. Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology etc., are all branches of science. Mathematics, though does not follow the scientific method, has a systematic foundation and is a product of analytical approach. “Fact to generalization” is the prime motto of analytical approach. Nevertheless, holistic study method is an entirely different and worthy one.

The holistic approach has given raise to many branches of knowledge. Let us start from the most common example - i.e. Psychology. Psychology says that all the mental diseases, which may have even physical symptoms, are caused by unhealthiness of mind. In other words, Psychology finds its foundation in the concept called Mind. If we knew all about the processes in brain, nervous system, and the chemical reactions in brain and body, this concept of mind will not be necessary. We feel the Mind because of the combined and coordinated function of all these. Even though we cannot find the ‘Mind’ by subdividing the body in to its minutest parts i.e. by physical analysis, nobody will say that psychology is a useless subject. By using the classifications such as conscious-subconscious-unconscious, id-ego-superego (or the Indian classical division Chitta–buddhi-ahankara) we believe that psychology leads us towards truth. All the branches of knowledge that originate from the holistic method use one or more non-provable concepts as their foundation, which are accepted based on their usefulness. Psychology is no exception to that. The ancient Indians used the word ‘Sastra’ (ancient advice) to indicate such branches of study. Like Psychology that speaks about Mind, Ayurveda that speaks about Tridoshas or Vaatha-Pitha-Kapha, Homeopathy and Naturopathy that speak about Vital force, Astrology speaks about Planets and Signs. All are the products of holistic approach. In this sense subjects such as Psychology, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Astrology etc., do not come under the broad classification called Science. Still we know that nobody will dare to say that Psychology, Ayurveda etc., are useless. In the view of our ancients, Sastras lead us to truth, help us to comprehend the truth more clearly and help us to know the truth that are useful for our existence. Astrology that depends on holistic approach is no exception to this. In this study-method called holistic approach, some basic concepts are formulated, to cover all our ignorance about the details and to help the further study. This hypothetical foundation becomes a springboard for further study. Here also, psychology can be taken as a suitable example. When we know 100% about the processes and behavior of brain and body, we understand which chemical reactions lead to each thought and emotion. Then we could clearly state how and where the memory is encoded, with its minutest details. When our knowledge grows that much and we attain the ability to control all these, using chemical and physical mechanisms (machine driven or otherwise), we can discard the concept of mind and psychology. Until then psychology will exist, despite whatever be the reaction of the scientists to it. Similarly, when we understand how the rhythm of time influences the living organisms and their life incidents (100% i.e. to its minutest details) astrology can be discarded. Until then, whatever be the opposing arguments, this branch of knowledge known as astrology is bound to prevail.
Even those who accept that Psychology, Ayurveda, Homeopathy etc., as holistic methods, tend to reject astrology. Why? They ask - “How can you say that astrology is based on a fundamental concept like Mind, Tridosha or Vital force, used by other branches of holistic approach? Can you consider the Sun, the Moon and the Planets as concepts? Signs such as Aries, Taurus are the divisions of sky. How can they be concepts? All those who sincerely study the ancient Vedic astrology know the answers to such questions.
Assume that we collect the common characteristics or life incidents of children born, when the Sun is in some particular sign. Instead of considering these characteristics as that of time, they are projected to the Sun. The Sun is considered the significator of all such characteristics. Later, when the Sun is in the same sign, when a child is born, we predict that, that the child will have those predefined or pre-collected characteristics. The technique is of projecting the characteristics to those that are not of the Sun to the Sun and later taking them back from the Sun. Here the Sun becomes not the Sun that we see with our naked eyes. The Sun becomes a concept. This Sun is the God Siva, father, gold, soul, courage, success, light, king, government, service, light, forest, peak, hill... and so on. Sun is man, middle-aged, bald, and the significator of diseases due to heat. All these ideas are formed thus. Not only the Sun, but also the Moon and the Planets become concepts in this way. Whatever is called significators in astrology, they are all concepts (Hypothetical constructions to mould the truth). Yes, in astrology, the Planets, Houses and Signs are called significators. Therefore, the Signs, Houses and Planets are the basic concepts used in the holistic study-method called astrology. Apart from this, some other basic concepts that are used by Vedic culture such as Panchabhootas (Earth-Water-Fire-Air-Sky), Trigunas (Satwa – Rajas – Thamas) etc., are also well utilized in astrology.
Of the two approaches such as analytical and holistic, Astrology and Ayurveda are closer to holistic approach. As these two methods, analytical and holistic, are fundamental to the thought process itself, why should they compete with each other? Why should the branches of study that are part of holistic approach try fruitlessly to become part of any science, a product of analytical approach? Even physics should resort to the use of concepts such as stress, strain, force, time etc. Ayurveda cannot stand away from the fact that the use of its methods should cure a patient. The world we see is composed of the facts and concepts, viz., matter and mind. Because of all these, the analytical approach that takes facts as the starting point and the holistic approach that takes concepts at the starting point should ultimately meet and help each other to the ultimate enrichment of human knowledge. They are like Yin and Yang, the opposing counter parts of the same thing. As both of them are the foundations of the thought-process itself, one defeating the other is impossible.
Even this classification such as analytical or holistic is not complete. We cannot bring all the subjects under the sun into this classification. As I mentioned earlier, all the classifications are nothing but the creations of human mind. The truth would remain outside all these classifications. In our case also, it will be true. (Just think of bringing subjects such as art and history into this classification.) A Vedic astrologer should be ready to approach astrology with such realizations, because astrology is a part of a holistic approach, to study the rhythm of time and make probabilistic predications.

Time is the cause for everything that is good and bad - pleasure or pain - in life. Time is the cause of all movements. Even thought is time bound. Thoughts cannot break away form the boundaries caused by time, as they are based on our past and present experiences. To predict the happenings of the future incidents of life, we should study the Time. But we cannot see, touch or hear the Time. However, we can know and comprehend it with our mind and analyze it. This is possible only because we can observe movements. Even thought is a movement. It is only by watching the movements that the concept of the ‘Time’ originates in our mind. The movements we observe from the earth, like the flying of birds, fall of withered leaves from trees, the flowering of plants, the sunrise and sunset, the waxing and waning of the Moon and the subtle cosmic schedules like the movements of planets, make us experience the existence of Time. Time is the cause of all movements. It is the cause for the movements of Earth, Moon and planets. It is the cause for life and death of plants, animals and humans. It is the cause for all our worldly happenings like births, marriages, accidents, diseases, deaths, wealth or poverty or other events, which one could conceive of.
To know about, in advance, the events of the life of humans or to predict the future of anything, we should study Time. We cannot study it directly. But there is a way out, as the Time is the cause for all movements. So, if we study the movements of cosmic bodies like Earth, Moon, Planets, etc., we can know, understand and comprehend the rhythm of Time, its ebbs and flows. If we are able to know the rhythm of Time or the flow of time felt by the human minds, we can predict the life incidents of humans. We can say what he is and what he would become. At the same time, let us not forget that the prediction is probabilistic. Astrology originates from this basic rationale. It is not irrational or irrelevant. In fact, throwing mud on the truthfulness and sincerity of Rishis who created this branch of study is irrational.
By watching the clock we can determine time. But the clock does not control time. When the birds cry we know that it is sunrise. Still, it is not the birds, which cause the sunrise. Similarly the study of planetary movements helps us to predict the past, present and future events of life. In fact, it is not the planets that control the destiny of humans, but time. The sunlight that is reflected by the planets and the attractive forces of planets may have only a little impact on human destiny, but the impact of time is supreme. Here I am emphasizing the importance of time in shaping human destiny compared to the impact of light or attractive forces of planets. It is a truth both the wise astrologer and the scientist know. Planets are just instruments that help us in understanding the rhythm of time, the instrument that helps us in predicting the human destiny. Planets are utilized in astrology in this way. Every believer of Vedic astrology should understand this truth.
When one understands this basic rationale of astrology, the unnecessary arguments and debates will stop. We must try to see astrology in its true theoretical foundation. Why should we argue whether astrology is an art or science? Astrology is nothing but Astrology. If somebody asks whether bat is bird or not, what would be the answer? It will only create an unending array of positive and negative arguments. If somebody asks whether history is science or not, even without my intervention, one will know that the result would be the same. Bat is bat, history is history and astrology is nothing but astrology, neither science nor an art.
The fault lies in our view. Why should we try to cast something into a particular mould, or to limit subjects into some colored boxes? Man wants to classify everything. The truth would be always beyond all the classifications. It stays outside all the classification attempts. The fault lies fundamentally with the fragmented human brain that tries to classify everything, which ultimately leads to erroneous knowledge. This fundamental error remains unsolved and we are trying to limit the subjects in to predefined boxes. It is the second mistake. Will these repeated errors lead us to correct knowledge and view?

Astrology Glossary
PLANETARY MOVEMENTS
The planets appear to move through the sky against the backdrop of the zodiac. And similarly, they seem to move around your horoscope, which is a snapshot or blueprint or map of the zodiac at the time you were born. As they move, they sometimes appear to slow down or accelerate and sometimes seem to stop totally. Planets like Mercury and Mars often seem to 'surge' forward into the next sign and slower ones, like Saturn, almost lumber. All planets except the sun and the moon can appear to move backwards. This is called retrograde motion. The effects are usually to slow down events and give you time to reflect on issues.
The PLANETS ARE:
The Sun - The Sun takes approximately one month to move through each sign of the zodiac. It reflects your personal destiny, goals, aims and vocation.
The Moon - Taking only a few days to move through one sign of the zodiac, the moon's cycle reflects your emotional reactions, needs and feelings. In your birthchart it describes what gives you a sense of belonging and safety.
Mercury - Fast moving but erratic, Mercury reflects your communication and the way you interact with others. It is also the planet of contradiction and paradox.
Venus - Venus describes what gives you pleasure, both in sexual relationships and in the world generally; Venus also reflects the kind of
people you are attracted to and who is attracted to you.
Mars - describes how you go after something you want. Your assertiveness, anger, will and ego. It reveals how you confront and compete in the world at large.
Jupiter - Often called the plaet of 'luck', Jupiter reflects both good and bad luck. Jupiter inflates situations, but is a catalyst for romance and excitement in your life. Jupiter takes about a year to move through one sig of the zodiac.
Saturn - reflects your boundaries and defence mechanisms. It takes approximately two years to move through one sign of the zodiac, so it's transiting influence is to structure and bring you down to earth in specific areas of your life depending on it's position in your chart.
Uranus - Unpredictable and radical, Uranus reflects sudden events, surprise encounters, electrifying chemistry between strangers. A slow moving planet, it takes approximately seven years to move through one sign of the zodiac, so it has a 'collective' and generational influence rather than a personal one.
Neptune - Again, an 'outer' planet which has a glamourising and confusing influence in the collective. Neptune casts illusions and romance over events and people and can confuse you about your true feelings.
Pluto - Transformative Pluto spends an erratic number of years in each sign, and again has a long-term generational influence. In your personal chart it can reflect power issues in intimate relationships, for good and bad.
RULING PLANETS
The planet which rules your chart is very important because it adds spice and flavour to your 'solar' journey. Every sign of the zodiac has a 'ruler' or a planet which becomes the henchman to your sun. The ruler of your chart is determined by which zodiac sign is rising (the ascendant) at the moment of birth.
Aries is ruled by MARS
Taurus is ruled by VENUS
Gemini is ruled by MERCURY
Cancer is ruled by the MOON
Leo is ruled by the SUN
Virgo is ruled by MERCURY
Libra is ruled be VENUS
Scorpio is ruled by PLUTO
Sagittarius is ruled by JUPITER
Capricorn is ruled by SATURN
Aquarius is ruled by URANUS
Pisces is ruled by NEPTUNE
ASPECTS
Aspects occur when there is a resonant dynamic played out between two planets in the sky - in other words in your horoscope. It appears as if they form an angle and the most important ones are called trines (120 degrees apart), conjunctions (when they appear to be in the same degree), squares (90 degrees apart), oppositions (180 degrees apart) and sextiles (60 degrees apart). Most astrologers allow an orb of up to 8 - 10 degrees for these aspects. Aspects to your sun and moon particularly add a very powerful combination of the energy and characteristics of the planets involved in the aspect.
HOUSES
There are twelves areas of the chart called houses, as there are twelve signs, but they don't necessarily correspond to each other. The chart is divided up into twelve unequal segments (although there is a House system called the Equal House system, just to confuse matters) to make up the complete horoscope of 360 degrees. As the planets move through the houses they emphasize different areas of your life which will be in focus or prominent at the time of the planetary transits.
THE PHASES OF THE MOON
The Moon's cycle lasts approximately 30 days as it appears to move round the zodiac. We usually notice the Full Moon because this is when the Sun is directly opposite the Moon and casts it's light onto the Moon's surface. The Moon only stays in one sign for about two or three days and transits your Sun and all the planets in your chart on a regular basis. The phases of the moon are: the New Moon, the First Quarter Moon, the Full Moon and the Last Quarter Moon. For example, a New Moon on June 29th in Cancer will be followed by a First Quarter moon a week later, then a full moon about one week later, a Last Quarter Moon a week after that, and another New Moon in Leo around the 29th July. The New Moon is a good time to start out on a new quest, and put the past behind you. The First Quarter Moon is about getting ahead, seducing, persuading. The Full Moon is a critical turning point when it's time to make decisions and face your true feelings or for completing what you set out to do under the New Moon. The Last Quarter Moon is for reflection, awareness of one's mistakes and for being realistic about your quest.
LUNAR/SOLAR ECLIPSES
These happen a few times every year and used to be considered bad omens by the ancients. Actually, they just bring into focus personal issues you need to confront or things which need attention or closure. A Lunar Eclipse is when the Earth gets in the way of the sun's light shining directly on the moon (usually a full moon). There appears to be a dark shadow moving across the Moon. The easiest way to remember what a Lunar Eclipse means is to say 'the present blots out the past' . (The moon is often associated with the past in astrology as the Earth is with the present). For example whatever issues you need to clarify in your current situation think about them and don't dwell on the past. A Solar Eclipse is when the moon gets in the way of the sun, so we can't see all of the sun, and in some places on earth we are plunged into darkness during the day. The easiest way to interpret a solar eclipse is to say 'the past blots out the future.' (The sun is associated with the future.) For example, there are things which you have denied, repressed or avoided in the past which now
need attention or bringing to light before you get on with your goals.
THE ELEMENTS
Each zodiac sign belongs to one of the four elements. It's useful to know them because signs that are of the same element usually have a great natural affinity for each other.
The element of Fire: Aries, Leo Sagittarius. The Fire signs are highly motivated, forward thinking visionaries.
The element of Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. The Earth signs are practical, realistic and build solid relationships.
The element of Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. The Air signs are intellectual, rational and idealistic.
The element of Water" Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. The Water signs are deeply connected to their feelings, instincts and intuition.

The planets appear to move through the sky against the backdrop of the zodiac. And similarly, they seem to move around your horoscope, which is a snapshot or blueprint or map of the zodiac at the time you were born. As they move, they sometimes appear to slow down or accelerate and sometimes seem to stop totally. Planets like Mercury and Mars often seem to 'surge' forward into the next sign and slower ones, like Saturn, almost lumber. All planets except the sun and the moon can appear to move backwards. This is called retrograde motion. The effects are usually to slow down events and give you time to reflect on issues.
The PLANETS ARE:
The Sun - The Sun takes approximately one month to move through each sign of the zodiac. It reflects your personal destiny, goals, aims and vocation.
The Moon - Taking only a few days to move through one sign of the zodiac, the moon's cycle reflects your emotional reactions, needs and feelings. In your birthchart it describes what gives you a sense of belonging and safety.
Mercury - Fast moving but erratic, Mercury reflects your communication and the way you interact with others. It is also the planet of contradiction and paradox.
Venus - Venus describes what gives you pleasure, both in sexual relationships and in the world generally; Venus also reflects the kind of
people you are attracted to and who is attracted to you.
Mars - describes how you go after something you want. Your assertiveness, anger, will and ego. It reveals how you confront and compete in the world at large.
Jupiter - Often called the plaet of 'luck', Jupiter reflects both good and bad luck. Jupiter inflates situations, but is a catalyst for romance and excitement in your life. Jupiter takes about a year to move through one sig of the zodiac.
Saturn - reflects your boundaries and defence mechanisms. It takes approximately two years to move through one sign of the zodiac, so it's transiting influence is to structure and bring you down to earth in specific areas of your life depending on it's position in your chart.
Uranus - Unpredictable and radical, Uranus reflects sudden events, surprise encounters, electrifying chemistry between strangers. A slow moving planet, it takes approximately seven years to move through one sign of the zodiac, so it has a 'collective' and generational influence rather than a personal one.
Neptune - Again, an 'outer' planet which has a glamourising and confusing influence in the collective. Neptune casts illusions and romance over events and people and can confuse you about your true feelings.
Pluto - Transformative Pluto spends an erratic number of years in each sign, and again has a long-term generational influence. In your personal chart it can reflect power issues in intimate relationships, for good and bad.
RULING PLANETS
The planet which rules your chart is very important because it adds spice and flavour to your 'solar' journey. Every sign of the zodiac has a 'ruler' or a planet which becomes the henchman to your sun. The ruler of your chart is determined by which zodiac sign is rising (the ascendant) at the moment of birth.
Aries is ruled by MARS
Taurus is ruled by VENUS
Gemini is ruled by MERCURY
Cancer is ruled by the MOON
Leo is ruled by the SUN
Virgo is ruled by MERCURY
Libra is ruled be VENUS
Scorpio is ruled by PLUTO
Sagittarius is ruled by JUPITER
Capricorn is ruled by SATURN
Aquarius is ruled by URANUS
Pisces is ruled by NEPTUNE
ASPECTS
Aspects occur when there is a resonant dynamic played out between two planets in the sky - in other words in your horoscope. It appears as if they form an angle and the most important ones are called trines (120 degrees apart), conjunctions (when they appear to be in the same degree), squares (90 degrees apart), oppositions (180 degrees apart) and sextiles (60 degrees apart). Most astrologers allow an orb of up to 8 - 10 degrees for these aspects. Aspects to your sun and moon particularly add a very powerful combination of the energy and characteristics of the planets involved in the aspect.
HOUSES
There are twelves areas of the chart called houses, as there are twelve signs, but they don't necessarily correspond to each other. The chart is divided up into twelve unequal segments (although there is a House system called the Equal House system, just to confuse matters) to make up the complete horoscope of 360 degrees. As the planets move through the houses they emphasize different areas of your life which will be in focus or prominent at the time of the planetary transits.
THE PHASES OF THE MOON
The Moon's cycle lasts approximately 30 days as it appears to move round the zodiac. We usually notice the Full Moon because this is when the Sun is directly opposite the Moon and casts it's light onto the Moon's surface. The Moon only stays in one sign for about two or three days and transits your Sun and all the planets in your chart on a regular basis. The phases of the moon are: the New Moon, the First Quarter Moon, the Full Moon and the Last Quarter Moon. For example, a New Moon on June 29th in Cancer will be followed by a First Quarter moon a week later, then a full moon about one week later, a Last Quarter Moon a week after that, and another New Moon in Leo around the 29th July. The New Moon is a good time to start out on a new quest, and put the past behind you. The First Quarter Moon is about getting ahead, seducing, persuading. The Full Moon is a critical turning point when it's time to make decisions and face your true feelings or for completing what you set out to do under the New Moon. The Last Quarter Moon is for reflection, awareness of one's mistakes and for being realistic about your quest.
LUNAR/SOLAR ECLIPSES
These happen a few times every year and used to be considered bad omens by the ancients. Actually, they just bring into focus personal issues you need to confront or things which need attention or closure. A Lunar Eclipse is when the Earth gets in the way of the sun's light shining directly on the moon (usually a full moon). There appears to be a dark shadow moving across the Moon. The easiest way to remember what a Lunar Eclipse means is to say 'the present blots out the past' . (The moon is often associated with the past in astrology as the Earth is with the present). For example whatever issues you need to clarify in your current situation think about them and don't dwell on the past. A Solar Eclipse is when the moon gets in the way of the sun, so we can't see all of the sun, and in some places on earth we are plunged into darkness during the day. The easiest way to interpret a solar eclipse is to say 'the past blots out the future.' (The sun is associated with the future.) For example, there are things which you have denied, repressed or avoided in the past which now
need attention or bringing to light before you get on with your goals.

CANCER
.... an invisible and undetectable tracking device which you can attach to your immediate family so that you know where they are every moment of the day - and, especially, the night.

Mercury Retrograde
As the popularity of astrology has grown over recent years, certain phrases have become part of our day-to-day vocabulary. And top of the list of these is "Mercury retrograde" referring to the period, usually of three weeks and two days or so, when Mercury appears to travel backwards through the sky and through our Zodiac.
The most recent of these phases occurred between May 26th and June 19th this year. And because Mercury was at this time making its way through Gemini, one of the signs it governs, it might have seemed to many people that there was even more evidence than usual of irritating little things going wrong in terms of mix-ups in communications, delays and cancellations.
Each year three complete Mercury retrograde cycles usually occur and each cycle is generally recognised as a period during which we all have to be more careful about day-to-day communications, travel and negotiations since Mercury is of course linked to the messenger of the gods and is the planet that governs all forms of communication.
So if Mercury is reversing or moving backwards does it mean that we will all be taking one step forwards and two steps back, ourselves, especially in terms of getting from one place to the other, engaging in worthwhile, productive discussions or completing all manner of written material?
As is so often the case in this type of area, the answer is Yes and No. During a Mercury retrograde phase – or at the approach of one – we should check to see whether it's about to coincide with something of particular importance with regard to letters, e-mails, events, phone-calls, contracts or any form of travel. If so, it's worth making doubly sure that absolutely everything is in place to ensure successful transactions. And although it might seem laborious to check and double-check prices, timetables, agreements and the small print time and again, it can pay off.
Looking ahead, the third and final Mercury retrograde phase of 2008 occurs between the 24th September and 15th October, when Mercury will be making its way through Libra. Broadly speaking, if ever there were a time for us all to be more attentive and nurturing as far as our close relationships and the people we love are concerned, it's during this Mercury retrograde cycle. And of course it's possible to interpret more specifically how those born under each sign might be affected and should try to respond by observing the relationship between each Zodiac sign and retrograde Mercury in Libra.
In 2009 the Mercury retrograde phases are January 11th to February 1st; May 7th to May 31st; and September 7th to September 29th; with another beginning on December 26th and finishing on January 15th 2010.

CANCER RELATIONSHIPS
CANCER PARTNER
Fall in love with a Cancer man or woman and you would do well to fall in love with their mothers, too. She will, certainly, be a major force in their lives. In the case of Cancer man, whether he loves her or hates her, he invariably judges his girlfriend against her. In the case of Cancer woman, she expects her beau to appreciate and respect those maternal qualities which may be invisible to anyone else but her.
Cancer people tend to be something of an enigma. Because this sign is ruled by the Moon, Cancer individuals – particularly women – change their moods, minds and personalities with the ease and speed with which the Moon moves from one phase to the next. Cancer women tend to be demonstrative – even if their affection is not reciprocated.
Given the right partner, Cancer men and women make wonderful lovers and lively companions. They are kind, caring, compassionate and defensive of their loved ones. However, treat a Cancer badly and he or she will react like the Crab which symbolises the sign. Their soft and emotional centre is protected by an impenetrable shell. A Cancer scorned is a Cancer scarred and the claws will quickly emerge. Cancers thwarted in love can be cruel, cutting and contemptuous.
However, when in love, Cancer individuals are great sentimentalists and go to enormous lengths to find the perfect Valentine’s Day card or gift. They are wonderful homemakers, imaginative cooks and quite prepared to sacrifice their own needs for those of their loved ones.
CANCER PARENT
Cancer woman is the most natural mother of the Zodiac. She loves her children to distraction, worries about them constantly, and runs the risk of stifling their independence by being overprotective.
Cancer man is the original doting dad, intensely proud of his offspring and just as protective of them as Cancer woman. Unlike her, however, he attempts to hide his emotions behind a tough, gruff exterior. It is not, therefore, surprising, that his bark tends to be considerably worse than his bite.
From the moment she has children, Cancer woman condemns herself to a lifetime of worry and emotional ups and downs. However, since that is her nature, she is probably well used to it. Her vivid imagination means that she is on tenterhooks for every second her children are out of her sight. The serious problems begin when Cancer parent’s children get to the age when they demand their freedom. Oh, the tears and traumas, the hand-wringing and carpet-pacing that occurs, day after day and night after night.
That apart, Cancer parents really are good at their job. They are sympathetic, understanding and deeply loving. They care for their children emotionally and materially. They genuinely want the best for them and will make whatever sacrifices are necessary to give it to them. In their eyes, the youngsters can do no wrong.
Cancer parent needs only to learn to take a few steps backwards and stop making mountains out of molehills and there you have it: perfect parenthood.
CANCER CHILD
Cancer children are the most sensitive in the Zodiac. They need to be tended like delicate flowers, handled gently and never, ever bullied or browbeaten. More than anything, Cancer children need emotional security. Bringing up a Cancer child should be one long exercise in confidence building. They should be encouraged to share thoughts and feelings. It is all too easy for Cancer youngsters to keep their own counsel, then be disappointed when no one understands them.
The moods of these Moon children reflect the atmosphere around them. They can swing from smiles to tears in an instant. Their colourful imaginations encourage them to embroider true stories to make them more interesting or exciting. They tend to have wonderful memories and to excel at history. They are notoriously untidy and treasure their old toys and clothes. They refuse to part with anything which has any kind of sentimental value.

Fall in love with a Cancer man or woman and you would do well to fall in love with their mothers, too. She will, certainly, be a major force in their lives. In the case of Cancer man, whether he loves her or hates her, he invariably judges his girlfriend against her. In the case of Cancer woman, she expects her beau to appreciate and respect those maternal qualities which may be invisible to anyone else but her.
Cancer people tend to be something of an enigma. Because this sign is ruled by the Moon, Cancer individuals – particularly women – change their moods, minds and personalities with the ease and speed with which the Moon moves from one phase to the next. Cancer women tend to be demonstrative – even if their affection is not reciprocated.
Given the right partner, Cancer men and women make wonderful lovers and lively companions. They are kind, caring, compassionate and defensive of their loved ones. However, treat a Cancer badly and he or she will react like the Crab which symbolises the sign. Their soft and emotional centre is protected by an impenetrable shell. A Cancer scorned is a Cancer scarred and the claws will quickly emerge. Cancers thwarted in love can be cruel, cutting and contemptuous.
However, when in love, Cancer individuals are great sentimentalists and go to enormous lengths to find the perfect Valentine’s Day card or gift. They are wonderful homemakers, imaginative cooks and quite prepared to sacrifice their own needs for those of their loved ones.
CANCER PARENT
Cancer woman is the most natural mother of the Zodiac. She loves her children to distraction, worries about them constantly, and runs the risk of stifling their independence by being overprotective.
Cancer man is the original doting dad, intensely proud of his offspring and just as protective of them as Cancer woman. Unlike her, however, he attempts to hide his emotions behind a tough, gruff exterior. It is not, therefore, surprising, that his bark tends to be considerably worse than his bite.
From the moment she has children, Cancer woman condemns herself to a lifetime of worry and emotional ups and downs. However, since that is her nature, she is probably well used to it. Her vivid imagination means that she is on tenterhooks for every second her children are out of her sight. The serious problems begin when Cancer parent’s children get to the age when they demand their freedom. Oh, the tears and traumas, the hand-wringing and carpet-pacing that occurs, day after day and night after night.
That apart, Cancer parents really are good at their job. They are sympathetic, understanding and deeply loving. They care for their children emotionally and materially. They genuinely want the best for them and will make whatever sacrifices are necessary to give it to them. In their eyes, the youngsters can do no wrong.
Cancer parent needs only to learn to take a few steps backwards and stop making mountains out of molehills and there you have it: perfect parenthood.
CANCER CHILD
Cancer children are the most sensitive in the Zodiac. They need to be tended like delicate flowers, handled gently and never, ever bullied or browbeaten. More than anything, Cancer children need emotional security. Bringing up a Cancer child should be one long exercise in confidence building. They should be encouraged to share thoughts and feelings. It is all too easy for Cancer youngsters to keep their own counsel, then be disappointed when no one understands them.
The moods of these Moon children reflect the atmosphere around them. They can swing from smiles to tears in an instant. Their colourful imaginations encourage them to embroider true stories to make them more interesting or exciting. They tend to have wonderful memories and to excel at history. They are notoriously untidy and treasure their old toys and clothes. They refuse to part with anything which has any kind of sentimental value.
