Love Compatibility Horoscope - Waste of Time, or Worth Its Weight in Gold?

Are you thinking about getting a love compatibility horoscope done, but are afraid it'll turn out to be a total waste of time? If so, you're not alone. But let me ask you this?

Are you tired of being alone (or worse, are you tired of being with the one you're with)? Are you tired of kissing frogs, hoping they'll turn out to be Prince Charming, but they only turn out to be another frog? Are you tired of going through the motions of dating, only to wind up disappointed again and again?

Again, you're not alone, but let me ask you this?

Are you open to the idea that there's a better way? That -- in an infinite universe -- the answers you seek are already out there, waiting for you? That those answers include the keys to happiness and love and everything good, and that -- if you could only find them -- that those answers can show you where you've been going wrong in your search for "Mr. Right?"

If you answered yes to most of those questions, you're pretty much where I was in my life, ten years ago, when the most amazing thing happened to me after I'd just about lost hope of ever finding my true soul mate...

So, just what is a love compatibility horoscope?

Just what it sounds like, really; it's a horoscope reading done with the express purpose of helping you see what you really need in a relationship, where you may have been going astray in getting that to manifest in your life, why you may have allowed yourself to do that, and how to let go of those self-defeating patterns once and for all.

Are all love compatibility horoscope readings pretty much the same?

On a high level, they all have the same basic purpose, but the techniques used are as diverse as can be: some love psychics use complex astrological charts and calculations that would make your head swim, some use tarot cards, some use no exterior aids at all; preferring to rely on their own experience and intuitive understanding to provide you with the guidance you seek.

Does the reader have to know everything about me and my current partner to get an accurate reading? What if I'm not even in a relationship right now?

There are some people (even some very highly-regarded readers) who insist that, without complete information about someone's partner, it's simply impossible to get an accurate compatibility reading. But there are plenty of others who say that if they had to know everything about both partners, they'd never be able to do a reading at all. And as to the second question, if you're between relationships right now, obviously you couldn't provide any information on your partner, could you?

The bottom line is, a truly gifted reader will be able to give you guidance regardless of whether he or she knows anything about your current partner or not. In fact, a truly gifted reader should be able to give you guidance that will help you find your soul mate, whether that turns out to be your current partner or someone you haven't even met yet!

In my own experience, having a love compatibility horoscope done almost ten years ago was the first step to discovering my true soul mate (or, I should say, re-discovering my true soul mate), and it was not my current partner at the time the reading was done (even though we were very much in love). But this is already running very long, so I won't go into that whole story now.

The point is, the same thing could happen to YOU!

But be careful; all readers are NOT equal in ability: the better the reader, the better the reading. But I can honestly say that if you're feeling unsatisfied with your romantic life right now, whether it's because you're wondering whether you and your current partner are truly compatible, or you're between relationships and hoping to do better the next time around, a love compatibility horoscope could be the best present you could give yourself right now.

Your Moon Sign, Not Your Sun Sign, Steering You Now!

By now, you've probably heard or felt the cosmic shift that happened at the March Equinox. Indeed, it's quite an exciting time in the cosmos since the Goddess of Love arrived, well over a year and a half earlier than was expected, on the December solstice, December 21, 2012. However, it can also be a confusing time, as if you're holding on to the past. Nothing seems to work, or at least not for long.

Coax Out Your Love

The Moon Goddess, the Goddess of Love and Aquarius, the facilitator of all the zodiac signs for the next 2100 years, are working closely together as a team to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to develop all the positive qualities that the Goddess of Love is emitting. First, you have to coax out your love that is hidden underneath the rubble, the pain and the hurts. Caring is the quality of the Goddess of Love that is being emphasized this year to develop, starting with caring for yourself. Only then will the love inside of you trust you to emerge.

Your Zodiac Sun Sign

Aquarius is busily facilitating each of the zodiac signs shift from their masculine articulation to their feminine, Goddess expressions. What that means to you is, the Zodiac sign that sponsored your birth and that you are a transmitter for your entire life, will be making this shift during its time on the Zodiac stage. As this occurs, your zodiac sign will then be transmitting its energies through its feminine aspect which will start your own shift whatever gender you are, to being a full-on participant in this matriarch inspired time. Get ready, it's a bigger shift than you might realize!

Embrace the Changes

Aries the Ram has already turned over to Aries the Ewe Goddess. Likewise, Taurus the Bull has also acquiesced to Taurus the Cow Goddess. In hindsight we can look back and review our experiences during their time on the zodiac stage and embrace the changes. Many astrologers that are tuned in to this cosmic shift are now only doing astrological charts this zodiac year, 2011-12, for the zodiac signs once they have had their time on the cosmic stage and already gone through these transformations.

Your Sun Sign Guided Your Destiny

Also know, during the Goddess of Love's matriarch reign, you will be learning to develop and express your feelings as well as unfolding your intuition. During the God of Will's patriarch civilization, developing your power and your strength through your mind and body were more paramount. Naturally, your Sun sign was most important and guided you to your destiny.

Your Current Learning Curve

Now that the Goddess of Love is here, the shift is to your emotions and intuition. When these aspects of you are truly developed, you'll be expressing yourself from the Goddess part of you. That's your current learning curve, whether you realize it or not, developing those aspects of you.

Moon Goddess Major Player

The Moon Goddess is a major player during this matriarch civilization which has now begun. At the Moon Goddess's New and Full Moons, her moonbeams naturally activate your feelings and begin to strip away your intuition. Learn how to consciously embrace her moonbeams to move into the new era in a loving way. With Aquarius guiding her, the Moon Goddess developed a magical seven day formula teaching you just how to connect with her. Three days before, prepare your physical, emotional, and mind; the fourth day, receive and three days afterward confirm and implement.

Moon Goddess Steering You

You want to fully grasp your Moon Sign and fully understand how it affects your behavior, especially your relationships. Now it's your Moon Sign that is steering you toward your destiny more than your Sun Sign. If it doesn't feel good, no matter what rational reasoning you are given, you probably won't go forward.

Time to Develop Inner Senses

Of course, to fully comprehend your Moon Sign, you'll need to wait until that zodiac sign has made the shift to its feminine expression. For example, if your Moon is in Capricorn, you'll need to see how you really feel once Capricorn is in progress or has finished its time on the zodiac stage. However, comprehending belongs to your mind and now is a time to develop your inner senses, especially your feelings. The more you become adept at embracing the Moon Goddess's energies, the easier this transition will become.

Mercury Awakens Your Intuitive Nature

Also, once you become adept at dealing with your feelings, much like a pianist becomes skilled at running her fingers over the piano producing beautiful music, Mercury in your chart becomes highly activated. Mercury awakens your intuitive nature.

Moon Goddess's June New and Full Times

The Moon Goddess's New Moon is June 1, 2011 at 2:03 pm PDT. To connect with her requires you to tune into your inner senses, your feelings as you won't see her in the sky. It's her dark moon time. Her Full Moon is on June 15, 2011 at 1:14 pm PDT. As these two times occur during Gemini's tenure on the zodiac stage, Gemini's energies will be greatly amplified by the Moon Goddess. This will enable Aquarius to help Gemini make the shift from the masculine twins to the feminine Goddess twins.

The Significance of Yin and Yang (Part One)

Complementary Opposites

If you study any aspect of oriental philosophy or culture you soon come across the terms 'yin' and 'yang'. These terms are used to describe the opposite yet complementary nature of iChi energy which ancient people understood to be present behind the manifestation of anything in nature - the creation of structures, actions, seasons, emotions and movement.

In I Ching Astrology the qualities of yin and yang lie behind the understanding of the cycles of change that we go through. These nine-year cycles are moving from yin to yang; this means from dormancy in winter (yin) through the active rising stage of spring to the consolidation stages of yang. Similarly, the principal numbers also contain yin/yang attributes.

Yang's nature is seen to emanate from the heavens and descend towards the earth. Conversely, yin's natural tendency is to rise and return towards the heavens. As yin's energy rises it becomes more diffused, and therefore slower and cooler, whereas yang's descending energy becomes more concentrated, harder, hotter and faster. The outcome of this process is that structures that are bigger are seen as more yin, while those that are smaller and more compact are seen as more yang.

Here is a list of some typical opposites associated with yin and yang.

Yin: passivity; coolness; stillness; potential energy (power); cool; introvert; diligent; cautious; maternal; insecure; dependent

Yang: activity heat; movement; power (obvious); self-conscious; passionate; extrovert; impulsive; stubborn; bold; paternal; adventurous; independent

Intermingled Concepts

An important principle to bear in mind is that nothing is totally yin and nothing is totally yang. The centuries-old yin/yang symbol, which everyone these days is familiar with, expresses this concept perfectly. The dark section of the yin/yang symbol is representative of yin, but within it is a small circle of the opposite (yang) from the left-hand side. If we were to look at a tree we could say that its leaves, branches and trunk represent the yin element in its structure and that the yang expression is within its downward-growing roots.

A spring onion has far more upward nature (yin) within its structure and far less root (yang); compares this with a carrot, which has a greater concentration of energy and structure within its root (yang) and less emphasis on the leaf structure (yin). Similarly, if our nature is predominantly spiritual or intellectual we are more yin than an individual who is practical and grounded, who would be seen as more yang.

People who are physically and emotionally flexible would be relatively more yin than people who are more rigid and inflexible. Nighttime, when we rest and are more passive, is traditionally understood as a more yin time, whereas the daylight hours when we are active and busy are seen as more yang. Winter, when it is colder and we are less active, is more yin than the summertime, when it is hotter and we are more outdoor and active.

In Part Two, which will be posted soon, Jon will explore the nature of yin/yang as it applies to nature and health.

Three Eclipses - How Will They Affect You?

The first eclipse is a partial solar eclipse on June 1st at 11 degrees of Gemini. This eclipse will greatly affect Gemini and Sagittarius, but it will also impact all the air signs, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. That's because this eclipse is at a trine aspect to Saturn in Libra which is an air sign. If you've been working very assiduously towards your goals, you may find that you receive long overdue rewards for your efforts. Wherever this falls in your chart will indicate where you may receive acknowledgment for your hard work. If you haven't been focused enough, then you will have an opportunity to create a new structure in order to move forward in that life area more effectively.

The next eclipse is a total lunar eclipse on June 15th at 24 degrees Sagittarius. As this is a total eclipse rather than a partial one, this has even more power than the previous one in Gemini. There will be considerable changes in your life and you may be expected to learn something new, maybe learn some new skills, possibly move to a new area or even a different country. Try not to resist the changes and this eclipse will not disrupt your life too severely. On a global level, there could be issues with travel, technology, computers, cars, planes, trains, roads and general communications.

The last eclipse is a partial solar eclipse on July 1st at 9 degrees Cancer. This is potentially the most challenging of all three as it makes some difficult aspects with the other planets. It will greatly affect the cardinal signs: Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra. Depending on where it falls in your chart it could mean relationship problems, changes in your relationships especially with your family. It could mean a move and financial challenges, even your health may be affected. There is also the potential for huge profits from a business and also to meet your soul mate. These energies are very powerful and have an affect for at least six months or longer.

Eclipses and What They Mean in Your Life: 

Look at your chart and see where the eclipse falls and you will have a period of about a year in which this life area will be stimulated. You will feel as though you don't have much choice, but you have to deal with issues facing you now and you cannot procrastinate any longer. There's usually a build up period of six months before the actual eclipse and consequences that need to be dealt with in the six months following the eclipse.

Zodiac Sign - Virgo

Astrology has always been an interesting topic. Whether you follow it religiously, or read your horoscope for fun, there is a definite entertaining aspect to it. Although, even reading your sign as entertainment, there are some attributes that seem more than coincidental.

The sixth sign is Virgo. It is signified by Virgo the Virgin. It is unclear where the origins of the name come from. Yet, the virgin is in relation to the Virgin Mary. Pure and refined, they share the Virgin Mary's maternal instinct. Observant, those born under Virgo are at the happiest looking out for people.

Like Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces, Virgo is a Mutable sign. A Mutable sign are seen as double-bodies. This is a result of the signs being in between seasons. In the case of Virgo, it bridges Summer and Autumn in the Northern hemisphere. Flipping between movable and fixed, they also retain an element of nature.

Traditionally, Virgo is ruled by Mercury. Mercury was known as the messenger of the gods to ancient Romans. Astrologically, the planet pertains to the mind, or mentality. Principles such as communication, rationality and reasoning are signified by the planet. Although, contemporary astrologers say Virgo is ruled by Ceres, a dwarf planet just further out than Pluto in the solar system. Its status is unknown in astrology at this time.

In the realm of jobs and careers, Virgo achieves well in any kind of care work. With traits such as the maternal instinct, a la Virgin Mary, along with a dependable nature and practicality. Of a modest nature, Virgo can take good care of others, without wanting to take overt credit.

As with anything else in life, Virgo does have a downside. Their modesty can make others question it as self-doubt. Modesty and shyness makes Virgo mistaken for introverts. Virgos can be too conservative for their own good. Getting tied up with every fine detail, they don't like the prospect of taking risks.

It is only in Western astrology that star signs are linked to the elements. In the case of Virgo, it is the element of Earth. Stability and grounding, such as with the Earth, also pertain to Virgo. Earth is a very "physical" element. With this, Earth signs, like Virgo, have desire and need for physical security. Earth signs share this desire for security with the Water signs.

Romantic compatibility runs deep throughout the Zodiac and astrology. How one star sign can relate to another is an intriguing area. Seeing that Virgo lends a dependable nature, they look for this in others. They can find this in the other Earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn. The Water signs of Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer work well with Virgo. Earth is seen to "guide" Water to its ultimate goal. In return Water signs mould or release emotions for Earth signs.

So, Virgo, it seems, may not be as introverted or conservative than they seem. Casual observers, they like to see if everyone is in check and happy. Though, they may not be the first one to take a risk.

Zodiac Sign - Taurus

Astrology has always been an interesting topic. Whether you follow it religiously, or read your horoscope for fun, there is a definite entertaining aspect to it. Although, even reading your sign as entertainment, there are some attributes that seem more than coincidental.

Taurus is the second of the Zodiac, represented by the Bull, the same Bull that was the basis for the myth of the Cretan Bull. The Taurean holds security in high esteem, in every sense of the word. Physical and mental security enables the creature comforts those born under Taurus desire. Enjoying the finer things in life means Taureans are accused of being materialistic.

Seen as one of the Fixed signs, Taurus enjoys stability, and displays determination and persistence. Seen as powerful and willing enough to achieve beyond what is expected. On the flipside, this some willingness can come across as single-minded, inflexible and even stubborn. Those born under a Fixed sign often fight to prove their right.

Venus rules over Taurus. Like the other Venus-ruled sign, Libra, Taurus seeks balance, harmony, and beauty. Associating with the urge to sympathize with, and unite, people. Venus somewhat allows a mix of romanticism and a hedonistic desire for pleasure and sensuality. Though, there's a longing for any kind of partnership. Be it romantic or business-based.

With their feet firmly on the ground, the Taurean acquires all kind of knowledge. With said knowledge, they can go out with a single-minded drive to achieve. Thus, Taureans are the most adaptable in regards to work and careers. Alas, they have proven best at creativity, and anything pertaining to it.

A negative side to Taurus is the hot-headed temperament. Another is their need for comfort does come across as selfish and materialistic. Despite being considered as a generous friend, the Taurean sees to their own security first before anyone else's.

With all this desire for comfort, it's easy to assume that Taurus is an Earth sign. Keeping level-headed comes easy for Earth signs. With their feet firmly on the ground, they are considered to be the salt of the earth. To note, Earth signs can be related to creation and making things grow.

Now, if you're a Taurean looking for romance, look no further than other Earth signs. Virgo and Capricorn share the qualities of being an Earth sign. The mutual level-headedness keeps an even keel. Also the Water signs of Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer shall bode well with you, also. The Water provides some mobility for the Earth.

So, it seems that Taurus brings security and comfort to those around. Both physical and mental, the Taurean brings stability to the table. Though, that's not before they have some to their selves first.

Zodiac Sign - Aries

Astrology has always been an interesting topic. Whether you follow it religiously, or read your horoscope for fun, there is a definite entertaining aspect to it. Although, even reading your sign as entertainment, there are some attributes that seem more than coincidental.

The first sign of the Zodiac comes in the form of Aries. The sign is represented by the Ram. Traditionally, the Golden Ram rescued Phrixos and led him to the land of Colchis. The ram symbolises strength and resilience. Allowing Arians to plough through anything that life throws at them. Alas, an abundance of energy and confidence flow through the typical Arian.

It is known that Aries is one of the Cardinal signs of the Zodiac. To which means it starts a change of temperate and season. In the case of Aries, it marks the start of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Astrologers have noted that Cardinal signs are moveable. At least, in that the air changes when the Sun moves into the Cardinal sign.

Aries is seen to be ruled by the planet Mars. Sharing its name with the Roman god of war, there's a lot of similar traits with Arians. Confidence and self assertion are key traits here. Aggression, strength, energy, impulsiveness and ambition are also prevalent with Arians. To boot, Mars governs sports, which gives a competitive streak.

As such, Arians make for fantastic sportspeople. The physicality and drive for competition ensures success for those born under Aries. Even for all-out sports, but any situation involving competition. The kinetic nature pushes the Arian to strive for success.

Although, there's a negative aspect to Aries. Being so determined, there is also stubbornness. A fiery temper to boot, confidence levels may reach almost arrogant levels. Enough confidence to be good in leadership, but feel that only they should be there. So much so, they may come across controlling and demanding.

It is not surprising that Aries is a Fire sign. Ancient cultures associated fire with warmth and resourcefulness. With astrology, Fire denotes energy stoking the fiery personality within. Thus, this feeds into Aries being a "masculine" and positive, or extrovert, sign.

As with the Zodiac as a whole, Aries has certain romantic compatibilities. Other Fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius bode well with Aries. The fieriness of their temperament work well together. Although, to ensure neither fire is a dampened is necessary for an even relationship. Also, Aries works well with the Air signs, as air fuels fire. Alas, Water dampens and Earth smothers Fire, so these signs don't bode well with Arians.

In essence, Aries is a sign that won't back down. Insisting that it is right, especially in a competitive context. A competent leader, sure, but the Arian will do anything to become one.
