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 Libra tick? |
|
|
 Sugar
and spice and all things nice that's
what Librans are made of. Even if
you get the rare one made from
puppy-dogs' tails, you can bet
they'll be pretty pooches and
handsome hounds. So it may come as a
shock to you that this sweet,
sublime sign is the iron hand in the
velvet glove. Libra is a Cardinal
Air sign, which means that Librans
know what they want, and usually
have the mental mastery to be able
to get it.
Libra's ruling planet is
Venus, which makes subjects of this
sign courteous, charming, cheerful,
caring, caressable and captivatingly
cuddly. Make no mistake, loquacious
Librans can charm the birdies right
out of the trees when they want to.
But if you look closely, they
usually have an aim for all that
charm and diplomacy.
Take a woman who has the Sun,
Moon, Mars and Jupiter all in
luscious Libra. One day she
discovered that a near neighbour
didn't give two hoots about her so
she moved heaven and earth until she
did, but she killed her with
kindness in the process!
The trouble is that Librans
like to be liked. In fact, they
can't bear to believe that someone
can't stand them. Venus can bestow
beauteous bounty on her boys and
girls, but sometimes she can make
them too sweet for words. Even when
a Libran is at his or her sickliest,
you must work out what's behind it
all. Librans are assertive,
ambitious and go-ahead. So they
always have an end in sight. It
could be to keep the peace or to get
a new job, but it will be something.
Of the other Cardinal signs, Arians
will tramp through the rest of the
zodiac, Cancerians will drown
everyone in tears, and Capricorns
will lumber along like a ten-ton
tank. But Librans try to get what
they want with a smile.
This is the sign of nuptial
bliss, of partnerships of all
persuasions, both in business and in
love. Committed relationships of one
sort or another loom large in a
Libran's life and so it's the sign
of enemies, too. After all, you can
have a rapport with a rival just as
much as you'll have an affinity with
an amoretti. The strength of the
emotion is the same. Although the
Urban motto is 'Peace at all costs',
you mustn't forget the razor's edge
between love and hate.
The polar sign of Libra is
Aries, and these two can have a
wonderful relationship, because they
balance each other beautifully. The
archetypal Arian-Libran relationship
is the Tarzan and Jane jamboree.
There's Arian Tarzan swinging
through the shrubbery, leaping about
in a little loincloth, while Libran
Jane stays at home being perky and
pretty, probably with a little
dishcloth. The Libran's keyword is
'You', whereas Arians say 'Me;'.
Librans can think too much of their
partners and pals, to their own
detriment, and can stride off
through sleet and snow to minister
to a mate who's ill. Some of them
can be too selfless for words,
although they may still be doing it
for a reason to be liked and loved!
Librans should stop being so
concerned with the welfare of their
loved ones, and think of themselves
sometimes instead. In astrology,
every sign has a positive and a
negative side, and if you go to
extremes in either direction it can
be terrible.
This is the sign of puffy
pink clouds, baby blue angora wool
and pink and white icing. You see,
Libra is a very pretty sign indeed.
The Libran quest is very much for
beauty, and with this love for all
things bright and beautiful, Librans
can't cope with anything coarse,
callous or crude.
The trouble with Librans is
that they can be irritatingly
indecisive; you can go grey while
waiting for them to make up their
minds about whether to feast on a
fairy cake or have a blow-out on
bangers and mash. That may be why
they're so considerate, and always
ask you what you want to do, what
you want to eat because they know
they haven't the foggiest idea.
They also like to keep
everything fair and square, and if
they feel they've been wronged,
they'll fight like Aries or be as
stubborn as the most intransigent
Taurean to prove they're in the
right. Justice must be seen to be
done in the Libran's eyes, at least.
Negative Librans will get their
sense of justice a mite mixed up.
But even positive Librans will
tamper with the balance they find in
their lives, on their
oh-so-sensitive scales, and wonder
if they've got it right. 'On the
other hand,' they'll sigh, 'I could
be wrong.' This sort of
soul-searching can go on for ever,
and frequently does!
Librans' love of harmony and
balance extends to matters of the
heart, as you might expect. They
must have luscious lovers, and the
Libran man must have the most
beautiful bird in town in tow, even
if he's as ugly as a vulture
himself. Accuse Librans of this and
they will say in a superior way that
they're an intellectual Air sign, so
plump for personality, first and
foremost. But you try to get a
Libran to go out with someone who's
no oil painting, but has bags of
bounce and bonhomie, and see what
happens. That's right. Nothing.' |

Libra as a friend |
|
|
Life is just a bowl of
cherries if you have a Libran as a pal unless you find one who gives
you the pip!
Librans make perfect pals because they're so open, outgoing
and obliging. They're great fun to be with and usually to know
Librans is to love them.
If you plan to keep your pal pleased, make sure that you take
him or her off to oodles of outings. Go to the theatre together,
coerce your chum into coming to the cinema, drag him or her off to
the disco and persuade your pal to a painting preview or a promenade
in the park. Be prepared to be the one who has to tempt your mate
out, because often Librans are happy to hide away in their
harmonious homes, eating excessively and tittering at the telly.
Some of the lazier Librans will be even more enthusiastic
about going out if you can provide the pedal power. Sagittarians
will willingly walk to Wales in Wellingtons, and Pisceans will
paddle to Perth in a punt, but try asking a Libran to join you on a
jog to Jarrow, and the answer is “No way!”
Should you decide to take your pal off for a posh nosh,
instead of to a naff cafe, he or she will probably moan and groan
about having to get ready. They have such problems making up their
minds that choosing what to wear can take hours. But the finished
result always looks wonderful.
When you're the friend of a Libran, you've got to make sure
your brain cells are fighting fit. Librans are mentally motivated,
and they like their cronies to converse concisely and cleverly about
a cornucopia of contrasting conundrums. It's no good thinking you
can get away with some wishy-washy words on the space race, for
example. A Libran will expect much more than a mere murmur from a
mate, and may even take the opposite opinion to yours just so you
can have a dynamic discussion. They love to hear both points of
view. But before you get too hot under the collar, remember your pal
may not believe a word of what he or she is spouting. It'll just be
a game in mental mastery.
Lots of Librans find it impossible to say no, because they
hate to upset anyone. As a result, they'll be quite incapable of
refusing their nearest and dearest, best and the rest, anything and
some Librans are so shocked at the thought of cancelling a date that
they don't phone, don't write and don't turn up!
Next time you go out to a dreadful dinner, a dismal disco or
a rowdy party, try to spot someone with a round face and normally
bright eyes who looks like a moping Matilda. Seen 'em? Well, that's
a Libran who's been unable to refuse an invitation and is having a
horrible time. Some Librans can be very put-upon as a result of
their inability to say no, and can be unpaid nursemaids, chauffeurs,
escorts and general dogsbodies.
So, if you have a Libran mate who always goes along with your
suggestions, and spends hours when out with gritted teeth, take pity
on your pal. Let your Libran choose what to do and then get out a
good book. You might get half-way through it before your vacillating
Venusian comes up with a suitable suggestion, by which time it will
be too late to do anything but go to bed. Good-night! |

Libra IN LOVE |
|
|
Hold on to your heart-strings! Love for Librans is Abelard
and Heloise, Romeo and Juliet and even Tom and Jerryand when a
Libran falls in love, it can be like a rerun of all the most
romantic stories in the world, or like a Barbara Cartland creation
come to Coventry.
Librans love to love, and adore to amour. These Venusians
join forces with Fiery Leos to be the two greatest signs of love in
the celestial sky. As a result, some Librans can run away with the
whole idea, and fall in love with love. Leos long for love affairs
and extramarital encounters, but Librans don't usually go in for
amorous activities like these, unless they're already on the verge
of divorce.
This is the old style of love, with heroes and heroines,
knights in shining armour and damsels in distress and just to add to
the old-fashioned flavour, lots of Librans like love without lust.
Some of them say sex is slightly squalid and a mite messy. If the
Libran's scales swing out of balance, he or she can end up having
terrible troubles, and may run away from any sexual shenanigans. But
to every Libran, sex will never be as romantic as wining and dining
by candle-light. Most of this balanced bunch just need to know
they're loved and adored, and to be given lots of kisses and
cuddles. They aren't so keen on steamy scenes of unbridled passion.
Since this is the sign of marriage and partnerships of all
types, nuptial bliss will be high on the Libran's agenda and Librans
can make perfect partners, since they always consider their loved
ones before themselves. Indeed, love will make a Libran's world go
round, or make it grind to a halt. But this isn't to the same
desperate degree of dependence as poor Pisceans. The Libran's Airy,
balanced view of life will always keep those tootsies on terra
firma, while the Piscean will float off into a romantic reverie and
pretend nothing has gone wrong and because this is an Air sign, the
Libran will feel love on an intellectual level; all the emotions
will emanate from the mind, first and foremost.
One thing you can never say about these Venusians is 'Once
bitten, twice shy'. If a lover lambastes a Libran, he or she will go
back for more time and time again, ambling in where angels fear to
tread. If the light of love is put out, the Libran will languish
until the next lover looms up.
Another problem for Librans is that, once Cupid has shot them
with his bow and arrow, they can shut off the rest of their lives to
attend to their amours, and put them on pedestals. All their friends
will get fed up, and if the Libran is stranded high and dry on the
rocks of romance, there are no shoulders left to cry on.
Librans constantly analyse their love lives, like Cupidic
chemists, trying to work out how to make them better, and how to
smooth out the course of true love. They abhor arguments and will do
anything to avoid them, preferring to sweep problems under the
carpet, when they would do better getting them out and giving them
an airing.
The profoundest pitfall in loving a Libran is that someone
more elegant and eloquent than you may shimmer on to the scene, and
push you off your perch. Librans are easily tempted to romantic
reverie and aren't fantastically faithful, but they don't always
scram from their spouses. So they try to have their cake and eat it
too.
Would you like to lure the love of a Libran? First of all,
you must have a bath, and then saturate yourself in some scent. If
it's a Libran lady you long for, find out her favourite flowers and
send her a garden of them. Then take her out for a whole month and
don't mention sex once and if you're looking for the likes of a
Libran lad, pretend that you aren't. Be cool but courteous. Get
chummy with his friends, look your loveliest, be interesting and
intelligent, and wait and see. It could be your lucky day! |
