2008 – The Year of Inspired Living
NEW!
by Kari Samuels
If you have been longing to make your dreams a reality, this is the year you have been waiting for! The energy of 2008 is a big cosmic wave, and it is sure to be an exciting ride!
We could certainly use the momentum. We all breathed a collective sigh of relief after 2007 ended. It was a rough year for many, but 2008 offers hope for brand new beginnings.
2007 was a 9 universal year, with 9 representing the end of a cycle, in preparation for a new cycle. A new cycle denotes a new way of being; a new phase of creativity and fruition. Just as it takes 9 months to create a baby from gestation to birth, we have 9 year cycles of formation and manifestation. Click

Is Astrology? Astrology As
A Universal Language Defining Life In The Process Of Becoming
by
Anthony Teresi
How
would you like to explore one of the most profound art forms available in
this lifetime, one that would help reveal your true nature?
Follow me as I show you a simple yet effective way to see what the
great art of Astrology can do for you. So,
let us ask the not so simple question. What
is Astrology?
Astrology,
by definition, can be described as “The Psychology of Astronomy”.
It is, simply stated, the study of how human characteristics and
behavior are affected by the movement and continual interaction of the
heavenly bodies in our solar system. Humanity
has always looked to the stars to determine its destiny, for single
individuals as well as entire nations.

____________________ Your Astrological Signs
by Stephen Poplin, M.A.
Each sign needs to express a theme and/or perspective, which is important for the individual within a society to admit or to recognize. If it--this theme--is integrated, it will make an obvious and positive impact. If not, it will be felt as an incomplete aspect of self, an unfulfilled wish or potential for the individual.

Wheel Of Life Cycles
by Kay Snow-Davis
Would you like a "second chance" at life? The life you have
lived since you were born influences everything you do today. There are
many experiences that got recorded into your cellular memory, your
unconsciousness, and they continue to silently play out in your daily life
undetected and undirected by your conscious mind until you put in a new
program. Wheel of Life Cycles helps fill in some of the missing pieces of
your childhood by giving you a conscious review, through the eyes of your
soul, allowing you to recognize the "life movie" you have been
starring in up to now.

Astrology Never Lies
by Suzanne White
Contrary to its detractors' concerted opinion, Astrology is not superstition. Superstition is more akin to: "If I break a mirror, I will have 7 years bad luck." or "If a bird flies into my house, someone will die." or "If I step on a sidewalk crack, I will break my mother's back." or "When it's Christmas and the weather is warm, it will be cold at Easter."

The
Mysteries of the 8th House: House of Death & Transformation
by Carmen Turner-Schott
After studying astrology for several years, it became evident to me that
the most powerful house in our astrological chart was the eighth house.
Each time I analyzed a natal chart, there would be a common thread for all
individuals who had planets in this house. I want to paint a picture of
the most intense house in our chart: the house of death.

Astrological Pluto, "God of the Underworld": Finding Power and Peace
Through Your Pain
by Elizabeth Spring
Pluto—ruthless planet of change or master teacher? Could the place of your deepest wounds also be the gateway to your power and sense of meaningfulness? Yes! Pluto, the astrological ‘god of the underworld’ seeks to find the meaning and purpose of our lives, but it does so with such an uncontrollable intensity that we want to bury or hide its experience.

Astrological Gold—The Gift of
Jupiter: Finding Your Unknown Talents And Karmic Luck
by Elizabeth Spring
Where am I lucky? Where do I have talents I may not know about? Have I
earned or learned anything in a former life that can help me now? YES! As
an astrologer, these are the questions I often hear, and there’s a way
you can explore this yourself without having to have private sessions with
your astrologer. You simply need to find where Jupiter is on your chart--
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, and for you it
represents the area of your life where you have an innate sense of
optimism and a unique opportunity.

Article ___________________ What Astrology Can and Can Not Do
by Susan Miller
Astrology can be used to help you in many ways. It can reveal damaging behavioral patterns or forewarn you of upcoming challenges. It can help you pinpoint latent talents you may possess and provide you with specific hints on how to best develop them. Astrology can also point out expansive, rewarding trends that are coming up and assist you in figuring out how to take advantage of them before they fade. Finally, astrology is an excellent means to determine the perfect timing for certain actions.

Neptune In Evolutionary Astrology
by Katharina Wehrli
Neptune symbolizes life in its totality, if one understands Neptune, one
understands life better. Neptune is also known as the spiritual planet. We
will see what this means in the context of evolutionary astrology. There
are many astrological combinations that accentuate this archetype. Even if
you are no Pisces, Neptune and the sign of Pisces are located somewhere in
your birth chart, and each chart has a twelfth house as well, all
generating that Piscean energy in your consciousness. Carrying the
characteristics of this archetype in our chart dynamic in one way or
another means that we all have our lessons to learn regarding this
universal paradigm. Furthermore, there are clearly demarcated stages in
the process of developing this Neptune/Pisces archetype within our life
experience. Click

Mercury Retrograde: Your Survival Guide to Astrology's
Most Precarious Time of the Year!
by Chrissie Blaze
It's happening everywhere, to just about
everyone. For three weeks at a stretch, maybe five, communication breaks
down in a thousand weird ways. Wires get crossed, messages lost. The cell
phone dies in the middle of a call. A package never arrives. We sign
contracts for deals that go horribly wrong. We squabble with friends or
loved ones.

A Look at the Famous Astrologer Evangeline Adams
by Karen Christino
Here are some of the legends: Evangeline
Adams made astrology legal in New York. She predicted the Windsor Hotel
fire, the stock market crash of '29, World War II, the deaths of King
Edward VII, Enrico Caruso, and even herself. Her books, now all out of
print, are eagerly sought after by students, and even stolen from library
shelves. Her reputation rests on her astrological expertise, but she was
also known to be a palmist. Some even say she was primarily psychic or
clairvoyant. But the fact remains that she was the best-known American
astrologer of her day. I was fascinated by this woman, and intrigued by
the events in her life. Just what was true, and why is it still discussed
over half a century after her death? As I began researching Adams' life
for my book about her, I would ask these questions again and again.

Oracles And The Family Karmic Inheritance
by Elizabeth Spring
As an astrologer I am continually struck by
the potential for sorrow and suffering when first reviewing a client's
chart. However upon meeting them, I am usually astounded at how uniquely
they have coped, survived and even flourished in spite of the potential
for anguish. If we change the word "enemies" in the quote above
to "families," the most important point of this article would be
made. I often wish my clients' families could see and hear their struggles
and their intentions, for these at least, would "disarm all
hostility." The oracle that speaks through the language of astrology,
if nothing else, teaches compassion. Click

____________________ Love Secrets Of The Signs:
Astro-analyze Your Love Life!
by Stacey Wolf
The Ram is exciting and full
of energy. You always have a lot going on in your life and have little
tolerance for boredom—which brings us to guys. You are impulsive in love
and life. When you set your sights on a guy, you go for it with gusto. You
need someone who can stand up to your Aries energy, but who's also willing
to play second fiddle (at least once in a while!). Since you're so busy,
the last thing you need is an insecure guy who needs a lot of reassurance.
Do's and don'ts: Do use your charm and courage to your advantage.

Saturn Pluto Dancing
by Eric Linter
History sheds light on what we can expect
in coming years. The first observed opposition between these two planetary
heavyweights came in 1931. Fascism, racism and genocide took hold
across Europe. This Saturn/Pluto opposition was in the paternal/maternal
signs, Capricorn and Cancer. Some commentators believe Hitler never
could have developed into the monster he became without the psychological
patterns which existed in prewar German family life; specifically the
dominating, often emotionally cold, disciplinarian father. In the years
that followed, this culture would be dramatically altered, as would others
around the globe.

Evolutionary Astrology
by Katharina Wehrli
Over the years I saw that despite much
therapeutic counseling and healing work many people didn't seem to be able
to get to the root of what ailed their mental, emotional and spiritual
balance nor their physical well being. Hence I was looking for a direction
to help my clients understand why they experience these ailments, and why
they are put together in the way they are. Eventually I found
Jeffrey Wolf Green's work on Evolutionary Astrology. When I became his
client and later on also one of his students, my own life began to change
in a fundamental way. This was due to the fact that Evolutionary Astrology
is based on Natural Laws...

Stop Swimming
Upstream! How To Avoid Struggle In Your Life

I saw an astrologer the other day from the Boston area named Eric Linter.
It was my first experience with an astrologer. I wasn’t a big believer
in astrology before seeing Eric, but now I understand why people consult
him on a regular basis. I realize now that he teaches his clients how to
flow with the current of life, rather than struggle by swimming upstream.
It was an eye-opening and empowering experience.

Basically, at the

somebody in the office has been reading this book since it’s arrival.

character descriptions and personality profiles that accompany each
person’s astrological sign.

signs. You’ll even learn how to more accurately use astrology to assist

Shifting
Consciousness and the Outer Planets
by Eric Linter
As we say farewell to the Age of Pisces
and enter the Aquarian Age some folks are predicting a shift or sudden
leap in human consciousness. The past century has already seen a rapid
acceleration in mankind's progress. Advances in science have seemingly
reduced the size of the Earth while contributing to the amazing growth
in population and the emergence of global culture. Astrologically
speaking, collective cultural changes are attributed to the slow moving
outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

The
Dance Between Heaven and Earth
by Nanci Adair
The spiritual life is a circle dance and one of the great dance teachers
is the astrological wheel. Karmic Astrology focuses on the spiritual life.
The simplest definition of karma is what goes around comes around.
Contrary to popular belief, karma is neither good nor bad. Karma is an
opportunity for your soul to evolve while learning to dance the dance of
life. The most common chart interpretation is the birth chart. In Karmic
Astrology this Natal chart is a portrait of the dance between heaven and
earth at the time of your birth. The chart contains many spiritual
lessons. A birth chart offers perspective on the major challenges and joys
in your life.

Secrets Of The Signs
Astrology 101
by Stacey Wolf
A Really Brief History
(article covers many other areas of astrology)
People have been calculating the movements of the Sun and the
Moon for at least 7,000 years. The ancient Hindus divided the heavens into
28 equal parts, representing the 28-day cycle of the Moon. The ancient
Chinese also divided the sky into 28 equal parts they called Mansions of
the Moon. Western astrology is based on a different principle, calculating
the movements of the Sun.

My
Introduction to Astrology
by Susan Miller
Nobody in my family wanted me to learn
astrology, least of all my mother. As it turned out, she was the one who
would teach me everything I know about the subject. She would say, "A
little knowledge is dangerous, Susie. Why not let me answer any questions
you have?" She warned me that a true understanding of astrology would
require twelve years of careful study, just to grasp the basics, and, even
then she felt I would only be scratching the surface. She was right, of
course, but mother's wisdom is rarely understood at a young age. That I
became a full–time astrologer was as surprising to me as it might be for
you, as my background did not suggest this for my life. Astrology has a
way of choosing you–it is almost never the other way around.

Rat - The Animal
Most people probably have a negative impression about the Rat, the number
one house pest. However, in Chinese astrology, as the first sign of the
twelve, the Rat is viewed as a mixture of many things. He can be as
friendly as the lovable Stuart Little, as calculating and intelligent as
Jerry in "Tom and Jerry," as devoted and loving to his loved
ones as the rats in An American Tail, or as mischievous and mean
as in the Mouse Trap.
