THE ORACLE ©

Language of astrology

In the last few issues of the oracle | have been discussing and stressing the point
that astrology has more to it then what is written in the horoscopes. In issues to
come, | will analyze a variety of charts in order to expand your basic astrological
knowledge. In the long run, your understanding of astrology will open the doors of
your perception. You are welcome to e-mail me for any past issues so that you can
catch up on the reading; my suggestion is to save these articles so that you have a
complete booklet. It is through repetition that astrology is best understood.

The sun is the vital force of all life. It is the expression of the self. There are twelve
possible houses (signs) for the sun to be located in. This article deals with sun signs
and how the planets affect each one. The sun when positively aspected is affec-
tionate, encouraging and kindhearted. When it is stressed or confronted with situa-

tions that are tension related, the sun can be arrogant, commanding, conceited or
egotistical. Some people would even call this negative.

There are twelve houses in the natural zodiac. Written below is an example of
them all.

For your birthday, the sun was in one of the twelve zodiac signs. So the positive or
negative expression of the Sun would manifest its energies through your horoscope
sign.

The Sun is also creative, ambitious, ardent, charitable, confident, boastful, dicta-
torial, glory seeking, lacking in confidence, and stubborn.

If you store this information for later use, you will have a full picture and you will be
able to read your own chart and the chart of all those around you.

 

Aries ...

When the Sun is in Leo, all is well for you Aries; your
energy levels are up, your sense of adventure is rekin-
dled and life seems to be moving your way. What do
you want to accomplish? The full moon on August 22
will supply you with insight into emotions and feelings.
All in all, the planets are supporting your progress. ~

On the downside, you have just gone through some
changes. You may feel a little lazy and self-indulgent so
get up and start something new. Your challenge is to
finish what you start.

Taurus

For the last year, Jupiter was in a favorable position
to your sign. Well that time is over. August is
always a month of movement and change for
you—good or bad remains to be seen. The out-
come depends on how you handle the pressure.
Focus on balance in all your relationships.

Pace your food consumption. Be thrifty and let
others have a say. By the 24th of August you will
notice a shift and your thinking ability will
enhance. Allow change in your life, sacrifice, sor-
row and pain—your reward will be wisdom.

Gemini

The planet Pluto represents change and refor-
mation. The changes are very slow, like climbing
stairs. You will experience different levels of
change over the next eight years.

Now is a time to be honest with your self and
others around you. Curb your impulsive nature.
Think before you speak. There is great potential
for you to come out of this change holding all the
power you ever dreamed of. With great power
comes great responsibility. Look deep into your
psyche, and ask yourself, what are you truly here
for?

Cancer

Not much happening in the stars for Cancer.
Life is interesting enough right now. The moon is the
planet that rules Cancer; it takes 29.5 days to move
around the zodiac completely. Cancers are emotional,
moody, sensitive and loving. For the next month, until
August 24, be impulsive and outgoing. Experience the
side of Cancer you dream of.

After the 24, there’s a good chance that you'll have
plenty of time to be calm and collected. Until then have
fun and trust your feelings.

Leo

The Sun rules your sign and you have waited long
enough. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. The next twelve months
are yours; step out and claim the prize, do the work,
establish yourself. You are in a time of change. Your
dreams can become a reality; relationships look very
promising, so get on the boat and travel to greener
shores. This time will pass so stock up now. When the
Sun passes through your sign, it’s like a recharge of

your battery—how you spend these days will affect the
days that follow.

Virgo

The planet Mercury, which rules Virgo, has come
home. Your mind is becoming keen and sharp, focused
and recharged for new mental activities. The planet
Saturn, ruler of time, is still having its way with you.
Have discipline over your mind, you are the one who
has a choice to think and direct thoughts. Be kind, and
get a grip on being critical of yourself and others. Now
is the chance to put into practice your diplomacy. Read
Gemini.

 

Libra

The planet of love, peace, harmony and happiness is
visiting you this month.

Venus rules Libra. Like Leo, this is a great time for
you. Enjoy all the beauty that surrounds you. When |
think of this time for you, | say, “make it count”. Great
achievements can be realized. Everything will flow
smoothly. Be aware of your emotions. In general you
are always balanced. It’s a good idea to write all your
ideas down.

Scorpio

Uranus, the planet of sudden change has been on
your back for years. By now you are used to the effects
of disruptive energies. By next March the effects will
end. It’s important to be curious about this time and
see if you can constructively express your aggressive
energies. Perhaps learning martial arts or some form
of energy building activity would help calm your inten-

sity. Avoid all mind-altering substances, and be practi-
cal with your dreams.

Your desire nature is strong, and your unconscious
mind sometimes stronger. Talk about what’s happening
to someone you trust, and trust that these changes will
be over in time. Control is a thing of the past. Trust is in
the future.

Sagittarius

There must be some other truth to the situation.
Always being on the defensive only leaves you uptight,
critical and temperamental. This in turn will leave you
extremely tense and feeling that you have to prove
yourself. Remember that everyone has the truth. All
wars are the result of different opinions,
thoughts, ideas or feelings. August can relieve
some of the pressure. September will be a
challenge so be respectful and compassionate,
as there are a lot of new habits to learn and
plenty to undo. Be patient— learn from all the
signs.

Capricorn

Down to earth Capricorn, Saturn rules your
sign. All your actions are well considered. You
are calm, conservative, determined, disci-
plined, sometimes dogmatic, faithful, firm, fru-
gal, hardworking, methodical, persistent, practi-
cal, and serious. Talk about what you want to
accomplish. This is a great time to start writing
a book, or practice learning a new language.
You are in good favor this month—join Cancei
for a fun time.

Aquarius

Your planet is Uranus. Aquarians are cheerful,
compassionate, electric, excellent conversa-
tionalists on current events and new discover-
ies, faithful, friendly, gentle, insightful, intelli-
gent, and romantic. On the dark side you can
be contrary, aloof, defiant, disorderly and some-
times hostile. Set limits and boundaries for your self
and the people around you. That way the light side will
always shine brighter.

Pisces

Read Gemini and Virgo for greater insight into your
challenges. There are opportunities now, perhaps too
many. Move one step at a time like a turtle. Establish
solid foundations for your dreams to come true. Be
focused and complete your jobs one at a time. Be dis-
ciplined with your time, and time will be easy on you.
Watch your health. Now is the time to rebuild all of your
belief systems. Learn from Capricorn this month.
