Black Horoscope

Aries

You are nothing but a primate. You charge headlong like a brute and you don’t have a clue what subtlety could mean. Moreover, you are a public danger because you are aggressive and totally unconscious, not to mention your excessive naïveté, and your simplistic and rough vision of things. The virtues of persistence seem to be totally unknown to you, which would boil down to a blunt: “The hell with the consequences!” In short, people only see in you some sort of rabid and quite simple-minded beast. To speak the truth, there is not much to add, for your nature is devoid of any interesting complexity.

...Pisces...begin to comprehend vaguely the secret of Time as an eternal NOW...

The Pisces Love Mystery

Just as the soul is symbolically “born” into the innocent thoughtlessness of Aries, it symbolically “dies” – or leaves the painful Earth plane – to enter into the sympathetic humility and mystical awareness of Pisces.  In the Piscean Sun Sign stage, evolving man and woman begin to comprehend vaguely the secret of Time as an eternal NOW – able to (in varying degrees) see the Past, Present and Future as one.  This is the soul’s third and final excursion into the sensitive Water Element – its fourth and final vibration as a Mutable Communicator – and the last experience under the feminine negative Night Forces.

Ideally, by the time the soul has reached the Pisces stage, it has attained spiritual enlightenment on its long journey through the Mysteries of Love experienced in the preceding eleven Sun Signs.  If not, then it must return to certain Sun Sign vibratory experiences on the astrological circle to learn lessons not absorbed because they were too hastily skimmed over in previous incarnated stages.  But each such return brings a new vulnerability to that Sun Sign lesson – a new inner urgency to master its positive essence and discard its negative.  Of course, some high or advanced souls, after reaching the Piscean stage, elect of their own choosing to return to Earth to rescue those still in darkness.  However, we are discussing here the average Pisces obligation and pattern.

Man and woman, on the Pisces level, have passed at least once through all twelve stages of initiation, and many have been required to fall back and retrace their steps hundreds of times in this experience, because Pisces is the most difficult of all the twelve Sun Signs to comprehend and master.  Usually such an accomplishment is not gained the first time around the wheel of life, except by intense desire and will, which is not to say such achievement is impossible – but it is a path, up until now, chosen by very few.  This is why astrology teaches that Pisces is “an old soul” – also the reason that on every Pisces man or woman is the epitome of spiritual grace; why some swim in waters dangerously close to the fires of Dante’s Inferno.  The Fish lives in two worlds, simultaneously experiencing both Heaven and Hell.

With the secret wisdom of the Piscean ruling planet, Neptune, Pisceans know that sadness and ugliness are not a part of God’s plan.  They have glimpsed the beauty of truth, and the brilliance of such mystical vision brings an urge to retreat from the negative vibrations of the Earth plane.  So Pisces often avoids confrontation and tension through the escape route of drugs, alcohol, daydreams, artistic creation, philosophical theorizing, meditation or religious retreat.  Pisceans may become teachers, monks, mystics, artists, musicians, composers, abstract mathematicians and highly intuitive scientists – or they may choose to swim down into the murky waters of alcoholism and drug addiction, even insanity.  It is, indeed, a difficult and complicated vibration for the soul, for this Sun Sign experience is fraught with temptation for the Pisces man or woman.

Because they’ve been “through it all” on a subconscious level, the Fishes have a natural compassion for the troubles of those around them.  The Neptunian soul is intimately familiar with life’s vicissitudes, understanding the weakness of human nature, therefore tending to pity, rather than to condemn, man’s and woman’s failings.  This is why these “old souls” so frequently become the recipients of everyone’s secrets, trials, worries and apprehensions.  Yet the initial instinct is to turn away form sticky entanglements in all forms.  Only when the Fish finds the courage to face his or her own problems with as much spiritual wisdom as is offered to others can the Neptune mysteries be fathomed.

Through this “death initiation” (death of the human ego) the soul grows more forgiving, more gentle, better able to understand its true relationship to the co-Creators…as Pisces affirms “I BELIEVE.”  To realize the full glory and truth of love, the Fish can, if he or she chooses, call on the innocence of Aries, the patience of Taurus, the awareness of Gemini, the perception of Cancer, the nobility of Leo, the discrimination of Virgo, the judgment of Libra, the penetration of Scorpio, the honesty of Sagittarius, the wisdom of Capricorn – and the humanitarianism of Aquarius.  But sometimes these many fragments of secret knowledge and talents serve only to confuse Pisces, causing the Fish to then take the easier path of passive nonresistance.

The Pisces positive qualities are humility, compassion, sensitivity, spiritual awareness, psychic comprehension, philosophic insight and a healing potential.  Expressed in their negative form they become timidity, apprehension, masochism, idleness, lying and weakness of will.

To Pisces, love is unselfish submission of the ego to the desires of the one needed to become Whole.  The Fish gains more pleasure from giving than from receiving, more happiness in serving than in being served.  Yet enigmatic Neptune tests the Pisces soul with the lure of multiple sexual and romantic experience – floating from one affair to another.

In such promiscuous manner – or by becoming a romantic recluse – does the wary Fish escape the dangers of being “hooked” by deep permanent emotional commitment.  But the Pisces man or woman who resists this temptation to avoid love’s pain by seeking only love’s pleasure…..is richly rewarded by the mastery of love’s final mystery.  He or she can then glimpse for the first time on the soul’s weary journey the true passion of blending in a trinity of mind, heart and spirit, resulting in a rare physical ecstasy – the ultimate Piscean fulfillment of Love’s long-ago Aries springtime promise of a miracle.

What the Gemini man or woman sees through the window is a forbidden Eden where all longings lie in mystery...

The Gemini Love Mystery

In the Gemini soul experience, the symbolic Taurus “Baby” enters into the world of the toddler-Child, and feels again, as on the Aries Infancy level, the positive, masculine Day Forces.  For the first time, the soul arrives at the stage of the Mutable Communicator, becoming conscious of its own mentality, aware that it is not alone in the Universe.  The Child soul of Gemini learns to communicate needs by speaking, by learning to form words and string them together, while the parents and others listen attentively, rejoicing at each new sound.  Talking is fun because it centers all the interest on him (or her).  There’s a new ability to crawl or toddle over to the cookie jar, without either the Aries yelling or the Taurus waiting, and this new-found independence is intoxicating.  Geminis are thrilled by the knowledge now within grasp, and so “I THINK!” cries Gemini to the world-at-large, in great excitement.

The symbolic Child level of consciousness teaches the Gemini soul that there are two sides to the character – a duality or polarity that must be brought into harmony before one can successfully relate to others.  The first twinge of unhappiness pulls as he or she bumps hard into discipline, while trying to blend the walking and sleeping Twin Selves.  Because Gemini suddenly longs for pleasures outside home and family, the Child soul is often punished for symbolically attempting to run out into dangers not yet suspected.  Likewise, the world invites Gemini men and women to explore it, and who knows what they may find out there!  With the new mental ability to reason and deduce – to relate – Gemini begins to wish for and to dream of things beyond what has already been seen.

Half the Gemini Soul is still an insecure baby, needing the familiar.  Half is a yearning child, curious about the many undiscovered marvels just out of tangible reach.  The Geminian soul has already experienced Fire and Earth and it learning to cope with the Air Element for the first time.  And so this twinned personality experiments, with bright eyes and a hopeful heart.  Each new day stirs Gemini’s mind with its hidden magic, more enticing now than discarded toys and the warm circle of parental affection.  What the Gemini man or woman sees through the window is a forbidden Eden where all longings lie in mystery, as the ruling planet Mercury (the magician) beckons toward the seductive road beyond.

Gemini positive qualities are versatility, mental alertness, quickness of perception, deductive reasoning and flexibility.  Expressed in their negative form they become restlessness, glibness, shallowness, double-talk, unreliability and self-deception.

To the Gemini “Child”, love has lost some of its early wonder.  It is still needed on this level, more than is realized, but there’s something more thrilling than love to seek now.  Is it love that holds you back, tugs on one and keeps one from rushing out the front door into Life?  Love, then, is perhaps enjoyable, but it is also restrictive.  Gemini men and women have not stopped needing it or desiring it, but when love becomes a barrier to their freedom, they rashly discard it, forgetting its warmth and safety – not caring that they may get lost and unable to find their way home.

Aries demands Love, for like the infant, without Love, Aries dies.

The Aries Love Mystery

The soul, symbolically newborn in Aries (although not necessarily in its first earthly sojourn), relates to dawn, sunrise, spring and Easter – or the resurrection from its “death” in the previous sign of Pisces.

In this first excursion into the Fire Element – this experience as the first of the three Cardinal signs – the symbolically “newborn” soul projects the positive, masculine vibration of the Day Forces through the explosive vitality of the Aries planetary ruler, Mars.  Like a human infant totally self-absorbed, the Aries soul discovers with delight his or her own toes and fingers – its own physical beingness.  To satisfy all needs, only a loud cry is necessary, heard and answered by elders.  The real infant doubts or fears nothing or no one, simply because it has never experienced denial.  Likewise, the Aries “Infant” soul has a natural trust and a touching faith in the unseen force of goodness which will miraculously grant all its wishes.

On the Earth plane this beneficent force is represented by the parents; in a mystical sense, by our co-Creators.  And so they look tenderly upon the “newborn” Aries soul, as parents look tenderly upon their infant, lovingly protecting it from its own naivete, wisely denying some of the demands made through the excited awareness that the soul is – he has been born, and is here.  The Aries soul senses “I AM” or “I exist”.  And like the symbolic Infant, Aries men and women are oblivious to the possibilities of accident, pain or cruelty on life’s path.  He or she learns of these negative experiences only from those advanced beyond, who have gathered harshness, suspicion and the self-survival instinct from the growing process.

There’s a religious adage that all infants, since they die in a state of purity, immediately become angels.  Of course!  They have not yet met the devil of Temptation.  But if the Aries “Infant” survives, he or she must, like the real infant, time and time again, undergo the sharp disappointment of misplaced trust.  As the victim of unkindness, a lack of sympathy or abandonment, the newborn babe feels shocked, frightened, alone – then yells even louder for attention.  In the same manner (and for the same reasons) does the soul of the hurt and disillusioned Aries man or woman need and “seek acceptance, yet court rejection” – with a violent emotional reaction to neglect.

The positive qualities of Aries are a heart-tugging innocence and wonder, blind faith and raw courage.  Expressed in their negative forms, they can become selfish egotism, thoughtlessness, aggressiveness and impulsive action with no regard for the consequences.

To the Aries, Love is a necessity of life, which is taken for granted; for in its infancy of awareness, Love is synonymous with existence itself.  Therefore, devotion is instinctively expected and joyously accepted, but with little comprehension of how to return it.  Aries demands Love, for like the infant, without Love, Aries dies.  When emotional abandonment (symbolically) can mean death, even, the hint of it can bring on unreasonable panic, and inexplicable terror, calmed only by repeated reassurances.  Aries continually needs to be reminded that “if winter comes”…… the miracle of spring cannot be far behind.

The Twelve Initiations of Love

**********************************************************************************

In each of the following experiences, man or woman is fully capable of giving and teaching others the first quality, but for the personality to learn the second quality is a struggle.  When one’s understanding of this second quality equals that of the first, he or she has achieved mastery of a particular Sun Sign.  The Soul must pass more than once through the First Six Initiations of Love as:

After achieving emotional maturity in these first six stages of development, man and woman must then pass through love’s Final Six Initiations (more than once) to discover its deeper spiritual meaning in:

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Ruling Planet: Pluto
Symbol: Scorpion and Phoenix
Element: Water
Color: Red

Forget hibernating like a bear! In the New Year you haven’t got a moment to waste. The planetary movements for 2010 are vital to your personal growth and will help you release past beliefs and hindrances and awaken forgotten dreams so that you may enter into a new cycle of personal and professional success. This particular year will be one of transformation on an emotional and spiritual level, and quality of life should be your goal. 

Inspirational yet challenging planetary movements during the first half of 2010 will weed out unhealthy relationship and situations and inspire your creative and realistic ambitions. But the big news is that Jupiter will transit Pisces for most of the year. Whether you’re in a committed relationship or single, you are in for a lovely, romantic cycle. Jupiter’s transit of intuitive and sensitive Pisces gives you the creative edge and makes others remember why they love you.

Between April and July, Saturn will give you confidence in the future and set your curious mind on fire. If you can’t get away, take an online course, spend lunch in the museum or volunteer for a seminar or new assignment. Whatever you do, don’t allow this time to slip by without learning something new, meeting a few interesting people or adding to your résumé.

Jupiter will make a quick sojourn into Aries between June and September, creating an opportunity for you to expand in your present work situation or take on a few more responsibilities or part-time work that will lead to even bigger opportunities.

A friendship or partnership could hit a troubled spot in April, primarily over finances or creative differences and you may decide to part ways. But if you have second thoughts, why not step back and allow time to work his healing magic?

This year, Dr. Denis Waitley’s affirming words could inspire your belief in the endless possibilities of life: “There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist or accept the responsibility for changing them.” 

 

 

And who is going to be the lucky guy? Well, I doubt it is going to be a Water Bearer, but who knows…

 

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Ruling Planet: Uranus
Symbol: Water Carrier
Element: Air
Color: Violet, blue and pastels

Dear Aquarius, your life has been in the throes of transition for so long that you may wonder if you should trust fate when it offers you the keys to success and happiness. During this transitional year amazing support for your ideas or projects will come from surprising sources. Your assignment will be to open your mind and heart to the endless possibilities of life.

Your social skills will come in handy this year. Networking, new friends and throwing around ideas with colleagues will open the door to a new job, a juicy assignment, client or desired move.

Between May and August, your ruler Uranus will be under the influence of the enthusiastic and ambitions sign of Aries. This sojourn will give you a glimpse into 2011, when you will begin a new journey toward fulfilling a goal or ambition. Step out of your routine, travel, volunteer for a new project, try a new career path or take classes that will enhance your skills or résumé.

Use this energy wisely and you will make an investment that will help you reach a destination, which today eludes your wildest dreams.

The warrior planet Mars continues his disruptive transit of your house of partners until June. This dramatic planet can turn small disagreements into major arguments. At work, stay mindful of those with fragile egos or argumentative personalities and you will avoid being pulled into their personal dramas.

Venus’s presence in your sign between January and February will give love a chance to bloom. Between July and August, Cupid will shoot a few arrows your way. If you catch one, hold on because your sector of true love and commitment in 2011 is beyond beautiful, brilliant and defiantly worth the wait.
