Taurus: Divinatory Meaning As the second sign of the zodiac, Taurus represents the second stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. The first thing man uses are his physical senses. What he can see, touch, and physically hold represents the reality of his position. Taureans seek to conserve physical resources and possessively cling to people whom they regard as their own. Personal security is their motivating force. Taureans are stubborn and go at their own pace : slow. They get frustrated if not given enough time to assimilate new things. But they accomplish things in life because of their tenacity in sticking to projects in which others have long since lost patience or stamina. A Fixed sign and Bull-headed (as their symbol shows), they can be extremely formidable to those who try to force them into anything. It takes a lot to anger a Taurean, but once they do, do not argue with them. It is best to approach them indirectly. They will willingly follow someone they trust. Venus, planet of beauty and pleasure, rules Taurus, and it gives its natives a tactile and sensuous nature, who love personal comfort and physical pleasure. Possessions and material ...

Scorpio: Divinatory Meaning Scorpio (8th house) is the Death sign and it is - in terms of the Soul and Personality. The Personality must die and give way to the Soul. It is the only sign with three symbols, indicating the mental, physical and emotional parts of the personality: the Scorpion who would rather sting himself to death than to pass up a chance at revenge, the Eagle who can fly close to the sun (Spirit), and the Phoenix who rises out of his own ashes. Where you find Scorpio in your chart is where transformation and resurrection must take place. All water signs are emotional, but Scorpions are particularly irrational when it comes to their emotions. They go to extremes, in both positive and negative respects. There is only black and white in the world of the Scorpion; no gray areas. If you are not their friend, then you are by default their enemy, and you will most definitely be treated that way. As the Left Column of the water signs, Scorpios have a tremendous desire for power and control, and seek these measures at any cost. They do not waver, they do not falter, and they stay their course ...

Leo: Divinatory Meaning Leo is the most vital of the signs and has tremendous strength. There is great courage inherent in this sign, but they must temper it with responsibility and self-discipline or they will have many problems. They have a self-assurance and confidence that boosts those around them - and can anger others who envy or want their power. They have a powerful intelligence and are very creative; have a broad philosophical, sometimes religious, outlook. Those who are devout may become very obstinate in upholding traditional beliefs and will cling tenaciously, but with complete sincerity, to practices and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as absurdly out-of-date. This stubborness is a trademark of all the Fixed signs. The unevolved Leo will display extreme arrogance, autocratic pride, haughtiness, self-centeredness, power-lust, greed for flattery, boastfulness, pomposity, snobbish superiority, and overbearing, and intolerant disdain of underlings. Leo's downfall is not relegating authority to others. They think they have to do it all and many succumb to heart attacks because they just wear themselves out. In relationships, Leo has a strong loyalty to those they love. As their opposite, Aquarius, can be too detached, Leo can be too attached. They need to learn a bit of detachment and ...

Aquarius: Divinitory Meaning Aquarius, with its two ruling planets, Saturn and Uranus, is a sign of transformation, rebellion, and breakthroughs. Aquarians are on a constant search for their identity, their uniqueness and their personality. They are brilliant people with open minds, new ideas, sometimes strange ones. They are most definitely unconventional and constantly seek to be different, different from their past or any other “normal” people. They are inventors, explorers, and do not care what people will say or think about them. They bring revolution and change everywhere they go. They are social planners, sociology workers, psychologists, unconventional healers and especially people who are open for new and higher consciousness. Saturn crystallizes forms and structures. Self-control is Saturn's highest expression. Uranus shatters forms and substance and seeks a new way of expression. Old molds and ways of doing things need to be removed, yet something must be put in its place. Without Saturn's responsiblity and discipline, Uranus will cause irresponsible destruction and chaos. This is not true freedom, as that can only come from within. But Liberation together with Responsibility can accomplish anything. Aquarians are foward thinkers, outgoing, and constantly looking to re-invent themselves and their surroundings. They are brilliant people with open ...

The SUN expresses our personal identity and awareness of conscious personality. It represents the realization of the 'self', the essence of 'being', and the vitality of life. Through the Sun we express our own individuality in a creative way. It symbolizes our life expression, the way we actively participate in worldly matters.  It constitutes the ego of the person, the aspirations, the Will. Knowing who we are and being able to find a special place in life is probably the most powerful drive in the human psyche. People want to express themselves in the world in an individualistic and personal way. It is through the Sun that we personalize our experiences, because we have a sense of an inner "I". This determines what is relevant to each of us. So the Sun is our reality as we might understand it externally. It is the male share of the personality, Yang, it represents all the male roles (the father, the husband, the head, etc). It makes it possible to interpret the image of the father and the man in general, the type of relation with them (that the subject is man or woman). However it seems to be more present ...

The Fixed Signs like the status quo and will put up with almost anything rather than have to make any kind of changes. They like a routine, their routine, they like knowing what to expect tomorrow and the next day, and for this reason, will stick to something longer than they should, rather than edit anything. They are determined, persistent, stubborn, strong-willed, resolute, stable. Their minds are penetrating, and memories are excellent. These signs are the middle months of each season.   The Fixed Signs doe in order follow the Equinoctial and Tropicks; and they are called fixed, for that when Sun enters into them, the season of the yeer is fixed, and we doe more evidently perceive either Heat or Cold, Moysture or Drinesse. The fixed Signes are these, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius. --- William Lilly, Christian Astrology (1647) Others are called immovable, and they are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, for they are the middle ones and the air stays in one element. --- Avraham Ibn Eza (1092-1167 C.E), The Book of Reasons HOUSES: The Succeedent Houses (2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th) correspond to the Fixed Signs. Not as powerful as the Angular placements, they denote financial affairs, stability, and purpose.   TAURUS (Fixed Earth) Taurus: ...
