Its main star, Hamal, was known there as the 'Star of the Flocks' and 'the Proclaimer of the Dawn'. Aries represents the original, creative, independent spirit, and the Ram was indeed worshipped as such in Egypt, where it was sacred to the king of the gods, Ammon, and in Greece, where it belonged to Zeus. In Israel it was sacrificed to Jehovah. Not only is it the first, and so the pioneer and leader of the zodiac, it is also a fire sign, ruled by Mars, the god of war. The Supernatural Ram and the Golden Fleece In Greek legend, it was the flying, supernatural ram which could both speak and reason, and its famous Golden Fleece, hanging in a sacred grove, became the treasured prize of Jason and the Argonauts, who won it with the help of the great sorceress and herbalist, Medea. In Greece and Egypt, it was a symbol of the original, divine, creative spirit. It lies between Taurus and Pisces on the zodiac band. The Stars As the constellation of spring and the beginning of the year, Aries led the flocks of stars across the skies, and its most important star, Hamal, was known in Babylon as the Proclaimer of the Dawn and the Star of the Flocks. To Locate Aries, which is best seen looking south in autumn and winter in the northern hemisphere, is a springtime constellation south of the equator, lying to the north. It lies between Pisces and Taurus on the zodiac band, and below Andromeda, with Cetus to the south. The Sun in Astrology Just as the sun in the sky is the center of the solar system, the Sun in astrology is the central nucleus of your personality. If each of the planets circling round the sun represents a single facet of your personality - Venus describes how you love and Saturn how you relate to responsibility, for example - then the Sun is the conductor of your personal orchestra, giving meaning and coherence to the wholeness that is you. It is the part of yourself that you identify with, your sense of self. Its sign - your sun-sign - and house position, as well as the aspects that it makes to other planets, describe your true potential; the 'you' you are deep down and are striving to express, as well as your will, your goals and purpose. While the feminine Moon represents your Soul, the masculine Sun represents your Spirit. Its position in your chart also shows the ways in which your outlook has been influenced by your father. The Sun in Aries Whatever other facets of your personality your chart reveals, with the Sun in Aries, you have a fiery pioneering nature, which colors your whole outlook on existence. As Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, you like to take the lead - and you often do - as you are brave, adventurous and forward-looking. But you can easily grow bored and restless, as what you excel at is initiating new ideas and projects and seeing them through is not your strongest point. Your temper also runs on a short fuse, but you have more than your fair share of energy and joie de vivre, and keeping up with you can be hard for less imaginative and fiery people. The future, not the past, is what concerns you and you have no time for outworn attitudes and dull conventions. You never stand on ceremony with others and you always speak your mind, regardless of the outcome, as you believe in honesty and truth. But your fiery nature and direct approach can get you into trouble, as you can be headstrong and rush in where angels fear to tread. But your courage, energy - and innocence - usually ensure that you emerge unscathed and ready to move on and conquer new horizons. Mars, Ruler of Aries In Myth and Legend Mars, the Roman god of agriculture, virility and war, was the father of the twins, Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome who were suckled by a she-wolf. He represented the life force and was a symbol of masculine power. The Red Planet named after him was also known as Nergal, the god of fire and war, in ancient Babylon. His love affair with Venus, goddess of love and beauty, was celebrated in both ancient Greece and Rome. The wolf and the woodpecker are sacred to him. Mars in Astrology The fiery and dynamic planet, Mars, rules your will power, sexuality and drive. Its sign and house position, as well as the links it makes to other planets, show your energy and motivation. It is the action planet, revealing where, and how, you are assertive, as well as your courage - and aggression. It also rules your sex drive and your general libido. In a woman's chart it shows what kind of man she is drawn to. In a man's chart it also describes his type of masculinity. The Flowers of Aries Flowers of the mountains and wild places, such as bright, golden broom and thorny gorse, the royal blue mountain gentian, with its martial, spiky leaves, the wild pink cyclamen and the Anemone, or wind flower, blown by the spring breezes, belong to Mars, and so to Aries. Your trees are hawthorn, or may, ash and frankincense, and warm, spicy herbs, such as ginger, pepper, coriander and basil are also ruled by energetic, fiery Mars. Your essential oils are coriander, ginger and frankincense, which warm and soothe, bringing out your natural optimism, generosity and courage. The Jewels of Aries Aries is the zodiac's pioneer and courage, both physical and mental, strength and an indomitable and enterprising spirit, are its best-known qualities. The diamond, the 'king gem', is traditionally assigned to a Aries and has long been thought to give strength, fortitude and courage to its wearer. It is also known for its transparency and purity, which reflect the forthrightness, honesty and innocence of Aries. In India, the diamond brings power, friends, riches and good luck, while in the West, 'a diamond is forever' - the symbol of loyalty and harmony between lovers. The ruby also belongs to Aries and its vivid, sparkling redness reflects - and brings out - the passionate and courageous side of Aries.

This belt is considered special because it is where the sun, the moon, and the planets all move. The word zodiac means “circle of figures” or “circle of life”. As the earth revolves around the sun, different parts of the sky become visible. Each month, one of the 12 constellations show up above the horizon in the east and disappears below the horizon in the west. If you are born under a particular sign, the constellation it is named for can’t be seen at night. Instead, the sun is passing through it around that time of year making it a daytime constellation that you can’t see!

  • Drekkanna - the D/3 Chart = Dreshkhamsa
    DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA Drekkana the D-3 chart = dreshkhamsha = a graphic representation of the placement of each radix graha into one of the 36 Drekkana BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 7-8. Dreshkamsha: "One third of a Rashi is called Dreshkamsha. These are totally 36, counted from Mesha, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a Rashi are its three Dreshkhamsha and are,respectively, lorded by 1. Narada, 2. Agasthya 3. Durvasha." The meaning of the word DRESH – KANA DRESH mens seeing or visualizing objects which are apparent or hidden (obscure) in nature. KANA means corner or trine (Trikona). Therefore, Dreshkana represents the varga (division) where the signs, trine to each other, convey apparent as well as hidden personality and nature (swaroopa) of the native. Quotes From: David Frawley. the Astrology of the Seers, p. 186: "In this harmonic the first 1/3 or ten degrees 00° 00'-10° 00' of any sign ruled by itself. The middle 1/3,10° 00'-20° 00', is ruled by the subsequent sign of the same element. The last 1/3, 20° 00'-30° 00', is ruled by the final sign of the same element. For example, the first 1/3 of Sagittarius is in the harmonic third of Sagittarius, the second 1/3 in the harmonic third of Aries, and the last 1/3 in the harmonic third of Leo. Hence, if Saturn is located in a birth chart at 15° 20' Sagittarius, it would be in the harmonic third of Aries.

  • The Natural Zodiac: the Nature of the Archetypes in Evolutionary Astrology
    The Natural Zodiac: The nature of the archetypes in Evolutionary Astrology. An introduction to the teachings of Jeffrey Wolf Green by Mark Jones, U.K. Pluto School, May 2003. The Zodiac itself represents or incorporates the totality of consciousness in human form on the earth in space-time reality. All of our human experience within the relative universe is contained within the 12 signs of the Zodiac. The next central point to understand is that from the perspective of Evolutionary Astrology there is no essential difference between a planetary embodiment of an archetype or that of a house cusp or planet – in simple terms, with the example of the first archetype Aries - there is no difference between the sign Aries, the first house and the planet Mars. They all carry some essential quality as the first of the twelve – they all share an essential similarity. What you are actually looking at when you look at a chart is how any given consciousness is structured. The 12 archetypes provide energy and quality within a multiplicity of possible interactions with each other to create the diversity of possible experience in life on earth. Rather like DNA the 12 strands or archetypes of the zodiac provide a blueprint for all experience. ARIES Aries is a Cardinal, Fire and Yang archetype. This correlates with the nature of energy moving outwards from the center, projected energy (whereas the Yin archetypes correspond to energy returning to the center). Whilst the Yin/Yang dynamic of the signs represents the natural polarity of our universe, the trinity of Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs adds a further dimension to the type of energy expressed.

  • Astrology Vs. Astronomy
    Name: Pd. Date: Astrology vs. Astrono my Astrologists claim that a person’s character and destiny can be determined by the position of the sun, moon, and stars at the time of his or her birth. A person’s sign is the constellation that the sun is in at the time of birth. To say that the sun is in a sign is to say that the constellation, the sun, and the earth are in a straight line. Astrologists use 12 constellations, found in a circle around the sky. The dates that the sun is in each constellation vary by approximately 4 ½ weeks, and have not changed for millennia. Astronomers know that the sun actually travels through 13 constellations, and that the sun stays in each constellation for a different amount of time, depending on the size of the constellation. Astronomers also know that the direction the earth is pointing in changes slightly over a thousand years, so the position of the constellation the sun is in has changed slightly.

  • Drekkana Varga by Ernst Wilhelm
    Drekkana Varga By Ernst Wilhelm www.astrology-videos.com “Happiness, etc. with relations should be known from Drekkana.” -Sanketi Nidhi “A planet in its own decanate confers virtues".” -Saravali Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states that the Drekkana indicates happiness with siblings, though Sanketi Nidhi expands upon this idea to include happiness with all relations. An important point, the Drekkana indicates the happiness that the native has with siblings/relations, not the life of the siblings. The life of the siblings is indicated by the relevant Bhava cusp that represents the sibling (3rd for younger, 11th for elder) and that Bhava cusp needs to be read in all Vargas – that is how the life of the siblings is to be read. What the Drekkana itself represents is the capacity that we have to work with all our relations towards mutually fulfilling goals and thus it indicates our happiness with our relations. Afflicted Bhavas and afflicted lords indicate those people in our live with whom we work less effectively; while strong Bhavas and lords in good Lajjitaadi Avasthas indicate those people with whom we work very effectively. Individuals with a good Drekkana are socially able, while those with troubled Drekkanas are socially unable. Remember that the 3rd Bhava, for which the Drekkana is the important Varga, represents an individual’s social ability. The social ability represented by the Drekkana and by the 3rd Bhava is initially developed through the association with siblings, and so ability with siblings is an important aspect of the Drekkana, but the Drekkana is not limited to our social ability with just siblings, it reflects our social ability with everyone that we come across.

    The Role of Astronomy in Society and Culture Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 260, 2009 c International Astronomical Union 2011 D. Valls-Gabaud & A. Boksenberg, eds. doi:10.1017/S1743921311002602 Astronomy and astrology Philippe Zarka LESIA, Observatoire de Paris, 5 Place Jules Janssen, 92195 Meudon, France email: [email protected] Abstract. Astrology meets a large success in our societies, from the private to the political sphere as well as in the media, in spite of the demonstrated inaccuracy of its psychological as well as operational predictions. We analyse here the relations between astrology and astronomy, as well as the criticisms opposed by the latter to the former. We show that most of these criticisms are weak. Much stronger ones emerge from the analysis of the astrological practice compared to the scientific method, leading us to conclude to the non-scientificity of astrology. Then we return to the success of astrology, and from its analysis we propose a renewed (and prophylactic) rˆole for astronomy in society. Keywords. Astrology, sociology, psychology 1. Introduction: what is astrology? The influence of celestial bodies on Earth has several obvious manifestations: life on Earth depends on the Sun, seasons are linked to its position in the sky (due to the non- perpendicularity of the Earth’s rotation axis with respect to the ecliptic plane), ocean tides are controlled by the position of the Moon (via its differential gravitation) and of the Sun, and eclipses are due to Sun–Moon–Earth alignments. Astrology extrapolates these factual influences by postulating that the positions of the Sun, Moon and 8 planets other than Earth (hereafter called the “luminars” following Kunth & Zarka 2005) with respect to the sky background, as well as with respect to each other, influence terrestrial events and human psychology and destiny.

  • The Zodiac: Astronomy Vs Astrology
    The Zodiac: Astronomy vs Astrology Astronomy: Astronomy is the study of all objects outside Earth’s atmosphere. These objects include the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, galaxies and all other matter in the universe. The zodiac is linked to astronomy because it is closely tied to how the Earth orbits the sun. As Earth orbits the sun, the sun appears to pass in front of different constellations. Much like the moon appears in a slightly different place in the sky each night, the location of the sun (relative to distant background stars) drifts in an easterly direction from day to day. It’s not that the sun is actually moving. Its motion is entirely an illusion, caused by Earth’s own motion around our star. As the Earth orbits the sun, the sun appears to move against the background stars (red line). The constellations (green) through which the sun passes define the zodiac. Over the course of a year, the sun appears to be in front of, or “in”, different constellations. One month, the sun appears in Gemini; the next month, in Cancer. Astrology: Astrology is the study of how the positions of the stars and movements of the planets have a supposed influence on events and on the lives and behaviour of people. An astrologer looks at the planets' positions and tries to understand a person's character or tries to predict the future. Each of the zodiac signs are said to have different personality traits. Here is some more information about the characteristics associated with each sign: Aries (March 21 – April 19) Aries loves to be number one, so it’s no surprise that these audacious rams are the first sign of the zodiac.

Her Story Andromeda was a princess from a region in Africa. Her parents were rulers, her mother was Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia believed that she was so beautiful, even more beautiful than all of the sea nymphs around. This upset Poseidon, the ruler of the sea. He sent a giant sea monster named Cetus to destroy the region where Andromeda’s parents ruled. They were promised to have their region spared if they sacrificed Andromeda, their daughter. They chained Andromeda to a rock and there she stayed until she was rescued. Perseus who was riding his horse, Pegasus, was flying high in the skies above and swooped down to save Andromeda, in return turning Cetus into stone.
