WHAT
IS THE ZODIAC? |
 |
|
|
 |
|
At the
time and date of birth, the
planets will be at certain
positions in the Zodiac.
They will also be in certain
houses, form certain
aspects, and the Ascendant
and Midheaven will be
defined also for that
specific time and date and
place of birth.
All this information can be
represented pictorially in a
"Birthchart", or "Horoscope
Wheel", as shown.
Around the edge are the
twelve signs of the Zodiac -
shown by their symbols.
Within the circle are the
planets, also shown by their
symbols and positioned
within the circle at their
respective positions along
the Zodiac. The Houses are
shown by dividing this
circle diametrically,
beginning at the Ascendant
and proceeding around the
wheel every thirty degrees,
as is also shown.
This construction - the Birthchart - is essentially
a "photograph" of the
heavens at a given time and
date, which is why the date
and time of your birth must
be known. It is unique to
that time and date, and also
the location on the surface
of the Earth which is why
the place of birth must also
be known, and therefore
unique to the person for
whom the chart is drawn.
Thus the birthchart contains
all the information the
astrologer needs to perform
his art. We have within it
the planetary positions both
in the Zodiac and in the
houses - from which the
aspects may be computed, the
Ascendant and Midheaven, and
from this the astrologer may
deduce any other
astrological measurements
that he requires.
All of these things are used
by astrologers to determine
the character, and predict
the future of the individual
for whom the horoscope is
cast. The Sun in Aries for
example means something
different as regards a
person’s character than the
Sun in Taurus. And similarly
for the other planets, and
the aspects they form as
well as the houses they
occupy at the time of birth.
The detailed "reading" or
"delineation" as it is
called is quite a complex
process and demands a good
deal of experience. The
horoscope you have here is
very detailed and accurate
and conforms to standard and
tested astrological practice
- which is, as both an art
and a science, many
thousands of years old!

what makes a Leo tick? |
|
|
 Inside
every Leo is a king or queen waiting
to jump out. But whatever the rank,
Leos do like to wear the crown, hold
the sceptre, and be in charge. It's
a Leo who will lead a little old
lady across the road, even when she
doesn't want to go!
Leos aren't going to like
this, but what makes many of them
tick is acres of applause. They like
to be the centre of attention and
know that their public whether it's
5,000 fans or the boy next door -
appreciates them.
There are some very colourful
Leos around, but there are some very
grey ones too. Think of a Leo, and
you'll see someone blond and
blue-eyed, with a magnificent mane
of hair. The men always look like
Apollo, who is associated with this
sunny sign and the women are
stunningly striking, and have long
golden tresses which shimmer every
time they toss their heads in a
majestic manner. However, there's
another sort, too. This breed look a
little like moles, not Leos at all,
with black hair, piggy peepers and a
rather shifty air! It's very hard to
believe that they belong to this
splendid sign, but they do!
But whatever they look like,
there's no doubt that positive Leos
will offer you the earth and give
you their hearts. There is a
gorgeous grandeur about Leos, but
sometimes they can be all mouth.
It's only when it's too late that
you realize the Leo was just out to
impress you.
You must never forget that
Leo is ruled by the Sun, the centre
of the solar system. This star
controls almost everything and we'd
die without the heat from its rays.
So, a lot of Leos can live their
lives with a Sun complex. The modest
wee beasts feel that as the Sun is
the centre of the solar system, so
they are the centre of the human
race!
As a result, of course, they
expect people to put down the red
carpet for them. Everything has to
be done in a stately, stylish way,
as if entertaining royalty. When a
Leo comes to tea, he or she won't
want to be fobbed off with just one
fairy cake, but will demand a
three-tiered Victoria sponge. This
is a regal, dignified and imperial
sign, and the Leo will be either an
Emperor Nero or Good Queen Bess. But
whatever part he or she is playing,
it has to be one that doesn't go
unnoticed. Leos don't like to be
just one of the crowd, like an extra
in a scene from Gone With the Wind.
They want to be Rhett Butler or
Scarlet 0'Hara.
In astrology, the Sun is our
creative core. So Leo is said to be
the most creative of the signs. Leos
may portray this by playing Annie in
Annie Get Your Gun at the local
amateur dramatic society or by
painting their self-portraits on a
40-foot canvas. If they can't be
creative themselves in an active
way, they'll do it passively, taking
off to the theatre, or burying
themselves in a book.
Make no mistake, Leo is the
sign of the Hollywood musical
extravaganza. It may be a bit brash,
but it'll have a massive orchestra,
and you'll be spellbound by the
majesty of it all and that's what
Leos love most. Neptune was tripping
the light fantastic through Leo
during the great age of Hollywood
musicals, which is why they were so
lavish and believe it or not, lots
of film producers and directors are
Leos Sam Goldwyn, Alfred Hitchcock,
Busby Berkeley and Cecil B. DeMille
were all born under this splendid
sign of the silver screen. Leos
certainly know how to do things in
style.
There's a fantastic feeling
of leisure and pleasure about this
sign. Leos love enjoying themselves.
They also adore being seen with the
right people. Upmarket Leos will be
the people the other Leos want to be
seen with!
What makes most Leos tick,
though, is very simple. It's the
biggest heart imaginable a sort of
titanic ticker. Positive Leos can be
wonderfully warm and lastingly
loving and as if that weren't
enough, they have a rich sense of
humour running through them that
will surround you and make you feel
safe and secure.
Some Leos aren't lovable
lions at all, but are cheetahs,
literally. This sneaky side of the
sign comes from the Leonine lust for
power. These crafty cats won't have
the personality or warmth of the
positive Leo, so will have to
achieve their ambitions through
underhand acts. Don't expect all
Leos to want to be centre-stage,
because some of them will prefer to
wait in the wings, looking on. But
most Leos love the limelight, and
are happier playing the main man or
leading lady. These Leos aren't
concerned with the chorus; they want
the bright lights and all that goes
with them. Their love of luxury
means they can look and dress the
part to perfection. But very often
they'll behave abominably, and treat
everyone as if they were their
servants. Don't let a Leo make you
his or her skivvie!
Just because a Leo chooses
not to come on like a Hollywood
hotchpotch of Mae West, Cleopatra,
and Napoleon Bonaparte, doesn't mean
he or she Is negative. Sometimes,
it's quite the reverse! All you need
is a peek at a pirouetting and
preening prima donna to see what
produces a positive Leo. Some Leos
will convey their creative concerto
in a quieter, more controlled way.
But a positive pussycat will always
be the sunshine of your life. |

Leo as a friend |
|
|
Life with a Leo can be a
ball, whether it's caviar flavoured crisps at the Dog and Duck, or
getting involved in the general carnival of life. They don't like
being alone, and adore other people's company.
Leos make good mates, but they often choose chums they can
boss about a bit. Sporty Leos will want to be team captain, and will
give out commands even if they're not!
Leos will put their love first, but friends come next. With
their Fixed and faithful natures, Leos often keep the same pals
throughout life. So the pussycat and their pal will start off as
youngsters, and go through life together, getting married at about
the same time, having their children together, and so on, until they
end up as a couple of geriatrics down at the Bingo.
You'll never want if you have a Leo pal. Some of them will be
generous to a fault, giving out gifts left, right and centre, and
spending lots of loot on little luxuries for you and all they want
is for you to be pleased. They don't expect you to rush off and go
silly in Selfridges, spending all your salary on a present of
preposterous proportions.
There's a grand camaraderie between a Leo and a chum, and
they can go off and paint the town gold together. You can traipse
off to the theatre, cinema, night-clubs, discos or pubs together,
sit in the sports club for a snifter, or any centre of recreation or
entertainment, leisure and pleasure. Leos, of course, are great sun
worshippers.
They adore lying on a sandy beach during the day and showing
off their tans at night while dancing in a disco. So pack your
towel, and off you go together!
You must remember one thing, though. Don't step out of line.
Your chum will want to be in the limelight, and it's not big enough
to take two. But would you want to spoil then moments of glory?
Leos' faces light up when they come across kids, because they
adore them. These Lions have an enormous affinity and affection for
children, though not in the same way as Gemini's, who see kids as
intellectual and intelligent. Leos consider kids to be cuddly,
clowning creatures, who they enjoy being with. So, if you have any
children, you can be sure your Leo pal will get on with them like a
house on fire.
Lovely Leos will be staunch and sincere, and will want you to
be the same and if you do treat your pal properly, you'll have a
friend for life. But let your Leo down in some way, and be prepared
for the consequences. Usually, Leos have a good growl to keep you on
your toes. They don't mean it, and quickly start purring again when
you pat them on the head.
You incur the wrath of one of these beasties at your peril.
That purring pussycat will suddenly roar and rampage, full of fire
and fury, and send you running up the nearest tree. But rather than
snap and snarl, Leos will love to laugh, and especially with their
pals. They don't have a dry sense of humour like Capricorns, but
prefer belly laughs. So you can be sure that he who laughs loudest
is Leo! What do you expect from a barrel of fun? |

Leo IN LOVE |
|
|
A Leo in love is a Leo in ecstasy. This is amour, amour, all
the way. Leo love is like Paris in the spring, and once Cupid has
loaded up his little bow and arrow, taken aim and fired, it will be
all liberated passions and desires, with a distinctly French flavour.
This is love on the impulse, ships that pass in the night, or
a delightful dalliance in Doncaster. To look at it on another level,
it may be a one-night stand, or a fling. However, the one-night
stand won't necessarily mean sex, which is rather more Scorpio's
style. Instead, the Leo can drift off feeling very much in love
until the next time!
Leos who aren't in love are like fish out of water. They
can't work properly. They get tetchy, and they'll growl and roar
like an out-of-sorts lion, and whisk their tails around madly. In
fact, they'll be very, very sad pussies indeed. Nothing in their
lives will go right, or so they'll tell you.
But Leos who are in love will hop, skip and jump through
life. They'll feel frisky and kittenish, with a chronic case of
spring fever. They'll do soft shoe shuffles and brisk buck and wing
dances as the fancy takes them, and tie pretty little bows in their
tails and manes.
Actually, love doesn't have to be a grand passion for these
pussycats. It can just mean being noticed, wanted and cared for.
Often you'll find that if your Leo pal is down in the dumps, it's
because his or her marriage or partnership is in trouble.
The most important thing of all for a Leo is to be in love
with another human being. Leos love and need that warmth and touch.
But if that's not possible, Leos can derive almost as much
satisfaction from being involved in a creative concept or hobby that
tantalises them in some way. Being in love with what they're doing
is just as splendid, and keeps the strings of their childlike hearts
in tune!
Now, don't get the wrong idea and think that Leos shun sex.
They are an animal sign, after all, so passion will be part and
parcel of the package. Leos certainly don't find sex off-putting,
and they take it in their stride! But love must be there first, or
at least some form of appreciation. They aren't like Scorpios, who
can't sizzle without sex. Instead, they are idealists, like Librans.
When Leos do leap into bed with a lover, it's with a stunning style.
They may not be able to run to satin sheets, but a sheepskin
hearthrug is just as sensual!
Let's suppose you've met a Leo who makes you go funny all
over, but you're not sure that your feelings are reciprocated. Well,
as with Aries, you've got to convince your Leo that you're a jolly
good catch. You must also look luscious. However, if you've got
power and charisma, you're laughing. Leos love a bit of gutter to
land on them, and really stunning Leos will go charging off after
the ugliest of creatures, just because he or she is a starlets. The
Leo won't be in love, but that powerful position can make up for it.
Sometimes, meeting a Leo's high standard can be a tall order,
but luckily there are some Leos who don't have such great
expectations. Even so, you must be faithful and funny, and appeal to
that tremendous Leo vanity. Just say 'Darling, you're wonderful'
every fifteen minutes or so, and you've got a pussycat who'll purr
happily for the whole of your life together. |
