Introduction To Astrology

Who we are now starts with our position in the Universe when we were born.
The Energies of the stars and the planets are our first sources of power and
as such carry with them significant knowledge and insight into our strengths
and weaknesses, our goals and our limitation. By looking at one's Natal
Astrological Chart you can learn much but even cursory understanding of your
Zodiac Sign (Sun Sign) will empower you in your life and magical workings.

Though listed as a pseudoscience many people, even those who are not into any
sort of "Alternative Religion" know their sign and read their weekly
horoscopes. Astrology is fascinating and has been a focus of a great many
civilizations.The idea that many of our personality traits and even our
destinies are written in the stars has a strong pull on the human psyche and
using this knowledge can bring many benefits.

You may have had your Natal (birth) chart done by an Astrologer or from a
program on the internet. These can be very in-depth and insightful giving
points where we excel and opportunities to improve our lives simply by
understanding our exact position in the Zodiac.

The Greek Zodiac is the most popular in the Western world. It consists of twelve
signs named for the constellations of stars in the sky at the time for which they
stand.

There are four Cardinal signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer.
Four Fixed signs - Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio.
And Four Mutable signs - Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.

Three Fire signs - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.
Three Earth signs - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.
Three Air signs - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius.
And Three Water signs - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

The Chinese Zodiac is favored in the East as in Asia predominantly. There are
twelve signs that are designated by year of birth.

Year of the Rat, Year of the Ox, Year of the Tiger, Year of the Rabbit, Year of
the Dragon, Year of the Snake, Year of the Horse, Year of the Goat, Year of the
Monkey, Year of the Rooster, Year of the Dog and the Year of the Pig. To find your
