Pagan Blog Project ~ Astrology

Pagan Blog Project ~ Week 2

strology 

Astrology is something I am - and always have been - passionate about.  My Grandmother (who was also a Sensitive) use to sit down and read the horoscopes for everyone around her.  She was also a fortune teller.  She loved to tell fortunes.  She was doing Gong Hee Fot Choy readings all the time and for anyone and everyone who wanted it. 




Astrology is the division of  twelve signs separated by dates, and it all depends on when your birthday is to which sign is your sign.  

Aquarius - January 21 - February 19
Pisces - February 20- March 20
Aries - March 21 - April 20
Taurus - April 21 - May 21
Gemini May 22 - June 21
Cancer - June 22 - July 22
Leo - July 23 -August 21
Virgo - August 22 - September 23
Libra - September 24 - October 23
Scorpio - October 24 - November 22
Sagittarius - November 23 - December 22
Capricorn - December 23 - January 20

It is the belief of being able to tell you things about your self, your past, your present, your future in regards to several key things.  

The Signs, The Planets, The Houses & The Aspects
  

I found an Astrologer who explained it better than I could ever.... 

The background of the horoscope is a circle made up of twelve segments, like twelve pieces of pie. These are the houses and they remain stationary. Each house corresponds to a specific area in life as well as all the people functioning in the specific area.

Even though the houses remain stationary, because the earth is moving, a new zodiac sign rises over the eastern horizon about every two hours. That explains why the time of birth is important. With 30 degrees in each sign, it only takes about 4 minutes for the degree that is rising to advance to the next degree and that small amount may alter the sign and/or degree on the remaining house cusps and it is the sign on a cusp that describes particulars about a house according to the planetary ruler.

Each of the houses govern a variety of related matters and people:

The First House governs your personality, temperament, appearance and health. Attributes of the First House shows the color lens through which you view the world and the experiences you attract based upon the first impression you make on others.

The Second House governs your income earning power, your portable possessions and property, general finances and resources. It also reveals your value system and how you set your priorities.

The Third House governs your mentality, communications, short trips, your immediate environment, neighbors and siblings. It’s the house of basic concepts, ideas and elementary learning.

The Fourth House governs your home, family, parents, heritage and real estate. It also reveals the way you see and feel about yourself on the inside based upon the degree of security and foundation provided to you from your heritage and background.

The Fifth House governs children, romance and artistic expression as well as entertainment, sports and speculation such as gambling. This house corresponds to the urge to create something that will live on.

The Sixth House governs routine responsibilities, service, occupation, co-workers, subordinates, health maintenance and pets.

The Seventh House governs “others” who attract your attention. Marriage partners, business partners, open enemies and counselors or advisers are some of the people reflected by the seventh house.

The Eighth House governs taxes, insurance, inheritance, shared property and resources as opposed to the personal resources and earnings of the 2nd house. It also rules regenerative processes, sex and death.

The Ninth House governs higher learning and the abstract mind, long-range vision, philosophy, professors, religion, publishing, propaganda and long journeys. It’s an extension of the third house.

The Tenth House governs your public reputation and honor, profession, career and all authority figures. Whereas the fourth house was the most private area, the tenth is the most public and where you gain notice.

The Eleventh House governs friends, social groups, long-term hopes, wishes and ideals. It is an extension of the fifth house; creative goals are shared in common with a whole group or organization.

The Twelfth House governs subconscious motivations, secrets, behind the scenes activities, recovery, confinement, hospitals, institutions and secret enemies.

Collage of the Houses
All together, the houses govern every single activity, association, interest, etc. Any question can be answered by looking into the area governed in the horoscope to see the influences at work in that house.

She definitely said it better than I could.  Please check out some more of her information HERE....

Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, is a water sign, which signifies your highly emotional nature. Being under the sway of the element of water also makes you highly caring, generous and intuitive. You are highly evolved, even spiritual — the water signs are karmically developed and refined in spirit.

Water is malleable and adaptable. You are very much like that. You adapt when you have to, but you much prefer to make changes on your own terms.
Like water, you are soothing and nourishing too. Life-supporting energies are at the heart of your character. You will act as a support for many people — in your own family and beyond.


Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates is a dedicated patron, funding a Beverly Hills hospital for women recovering from cancer. Guess what her star sign is? You got it — Cancer!

You are for the most part a person of feeling and sensation. Often you will ignore your own judgment and rationality, and someone’s else’s reasonable advice, in favor of how you feel. You don’t care if you’re wrong, either! If your intuition tells you to do something, like reaching out to give someone a helping hand, you’ll just do it.

Others turn to you when they need a shoulder to cry on — you’ll do well in any of the caring professions. This approach is highlighted by your key life phrase, ‘I nurture’. You find it difficult to turn away anyone in need. Anyone who knows you will agree that you are one of the best people to connect with if they need advice. Friends will turn to you if they are in trouble, knowing that your sensitive and compassionate touch will lighten their load.

You are extremely receptive to your environment and the people around you, and will often ‘pick up’ people’s energies, moods and thoughts. This ability serves you well; your intuition about people is quite often correct. Your knack of knowing people’s issues before they even open their mouths attracts them to you. The difficulty with this, though, is that you can tend to absorb their emotions — negative as well as positive.

You reflect the qualities of the changing Moon. This means that at times your emotions get the better of you, and you swing from high to low. Family and friends will be well aware of this, but they will not doubt your loyalty and support.

Another aspect of the Moon that sometimes doesn’t work well for you is its maternal nature. You sometimes veer too close to the mothering/smothering lane, which can put people off.

Back on the plus side, you love to mix with all sorts of people. Social activities are an essential ingredient in your development. You are a great success socially, because you can convey your wisdom to others so well — Cancerians have very expressive faces.

Creative enterprises are a great way to make the most of your moods and your imagination. Music and writing are perfect vehicles for you. You can express the inner part of your being as entertaining literary, art or music pieces.

Cooking is also a great outlet for you. Even if you cook as a hobby rather than as a job, you will find that it balances your state of mind over time.

Sometimes you can get locked into your own private lifestyle, and only come out at full Moon. Being a recluse is not for you, though — share your talents and love with the world. Some of this is down to your love of the night.

Because the Moon’s domain is the night, many Cancerians are night owls. From twilight on, your creativity starts to flow and you feel at home — you have a strong affinity with lunar energies. This is a good time to get into writing, meditating, or just walking in the moonlight. All these will energize you. You love the stillness and mystery of the night.

You are a consummate homemaker. Even men born under this sign express the ‘feminine’ aspect of their character in their love of the kitchen, and activities that make them feel secure in their domestic space.

You love to collect or keep mementos — such as scrapbooks and other bits and pieces — that bring back memories of good times and people you care about. You have a great memory, not just for facts, but also any good turn or kindness you’ve received.

You can always talk about any subject with anyone. That retentive memory is a help here, as is your impartial, even-handed approach to people generally. Dealing with people comes naturally to you: add this to your shrewdness and intuition, and you are likely to be a good businessperson. You can also use these skills in managing your day-to-day life.

If you are a Cancer born between 22nd June and 3rd July you are under the double influence of Moon. You are emotional, loving and destined in marriage and love life. However, try to curb your changeable emotions. Don't let sentimentality rule you.

Were you born between 4th and 13th July? Well, Cancer, I see you have a very deep and penetrating mind and can sometimes be overly intense in relationships. Your loyalty is unconditional and you make the staunchest of friends.

As a Cancer born between 14th and 22nd July you are prone to a dreamy and idealistic attitude in life. You like the idea of being compassionate and forgiving to everyone and serve the needs of friends and family well. That’s fine but don’t forget that you have needs as well.
