Astrology AreaWhy Take Astrology Seriously?
Astrology provides an interesting road map that can help you "decode" some of the mysteries of your life, your relationships, other people, your individual pasts, your unfolding future, and your personal destiny. If you look at that list carefully, you'll see a tremendous wealth of material available through this often abused and misunderstood occult discipline.
The Key to Your Character
When people ask why I believe in astrology, I answer, "Because astrology works." Long ago I proved to myself that I could look at a person's horoscope and know without question very explicit and observable things about his or her character. And because I also knew the current planetary positions and other information astrology uses to forecast trends and events in life, I could further know and explain quite clearly the themes and issues that were unfolding, needing attention and being experienced in the life of the person whose chart I was reading.
The planet Venus as a symbol in Astrology represents our sense of beauty and comfort, the way we deal with money and issues of physical support, and the way we manage our close relationships. It is, therefore, an important indicator of our personal values. Notice the "value" we place on all the things just listed.
Tidbits and facts ... about Venus.
There is one Fixed sign for each of the elements. Fixed signs are one element in what astrologers call "The Quadruplicities" ... or "The Qualities" ... or "The Modalities" ... a way of grouping the Zodiac signs according to the strategies they use to pursue their ambitions based on their different -- and often conflicting -- values.
The Earth Signs of the Zodiac are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. There is one Earth Sign for each of the Qualities -- Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. Taurus is Fixed Earth. Virgo is Mutable Earth. Capricorn is Cardinal Earth.
The Fixed Signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Taurus is Fixed Earth, Leo is Fixed Fire, Scorpio is Fixed Water, Aquarius is Fixed Air.
After the flash and fury of Fire Element's spectacular beginnings, comes the leavening, calming, and often highly welcome influence of Earth Element. Earth Element is concerned with grounding, stability, security, and protection. It understands at a glance the benefits of Fire's grand initiatives.
Acting from the Center of the Sun
Astrology is not about magic, or superstition or self-delusion. Essentially, Astrology is about symbolism ... knowing how to read the code of life that the patterns in the stars depict.
In Astrology, Venus symbolizes the individual's social self and social instincts, the ability to form and participate in relationships, his need for partners, his way of supporting himself by acquiring the resources he needs to survive, his attitudes and conduct toward money and possessions, and his abstract personal values.
You'd think Venus would be everybody's favorite planet. It rules, among other things, love and money -- two topics that get a ton of attention in the media and in the goals many people apparently set with their behavior. Sex and money. Messages, concerns, advice, and images about both assault us constantly.
Mars represents your ability to take assertive action; your capacity for aggression; your outward sexual expression; your use of energy, force and willpower to achieve your ambitions and desires; your ability to be direct and independent; and your competitive spirit.

New Moon in Cancer!!
Well, by now we could all use a little mothering. Thank Heaven there are Cancer people in the world wanting to take on the job and Cancer energy comes around on a regular basis. After the trauma some of us are having with transiting Pluto opposing the placements in Gemini, a retreat back in to the comfort of home and family may be very much on the agenda.

What the current position of Mars means in real life.
Mercury represents your rational mind; your intellectual self; your interests and mental abilities, your study and language skills, your capacity to work with ideas and information, and the way you approach and apply knowledge.
Venus represents your power to attract love and conduct relationships; your need for money and pleasure; your involvement with income, possessions and material "things;" what you look for in partners.
Mars represents your ability to take assertive action; your capacity for aggression; your outward sexual expression; your use of energy, force and willpower to achieve your ambitions and desires; your ability to be direct and independent; and your competitive spirit.
Well, as I've written several times elsewhere, traditional Astrology associates Taurus energy with money. It's easy to see why. Taurus is possessive, acquisitive and practical. It loves its physical pleasures. It loves the things money can buy. No other sign in the Zodiac appreciates material reality with the gusto and joy Taurus shows with such demonstration!! Taurus loves to make money. It loves to spend money. It loves to own stuff!!
The opposition between the Taurus Sun and the Scorpio Moon represents the basic division between "what's mine" and "what's ours." The energy of the Taurus Sun can be exceedingly possessive, money-conscious, materialistic, and jealous.
What Does the Future Hold?
What does the future hold if you were born with the Sun in Taurus? Here is a brief synopsis of the major themes unfolding in your life now.
