(01:33:26) (ron) ASTROLOGICAL SUN SIGNS by Frances Sakoian
(01:33:41) (ron) ARIES March 21 to April 19
(01:33:55) (ron) POSITIVE-CARDINAL-FIRE (Mars) Those with Aries prominent in their horoscopes are active and competitive individuals. They are the great initiators of projects. However, unless there are planets in Fixed Signs in the horoscope, they lack the steadfastness of purpose to follow through on ventures that they inaugurate. Consequently, as interests and enthusiasms wane, the project suffers.
(01:34:30) (ron) Those natives should learn to think before they act, for impulsive action often results in
(01:34:46) (ron) misdirection and regrets. Even so, undaunted by failure, they are more apt to blaze new trails again.
(01:35:29) (ron) Self-respect and self-reliance are essential to the psychological well-being of these Aries individuals. They are constantly trying to prove themselves to themselves through action. Efforts to win the approval of others are basically motivated by a desire to garner support that will justify their own self-esteem.
(01:36:00) (ron) Because Aries is a POSITIVE-MASCULINE Sign the natives will have the ability to initiate action toward the realization of their desires and to create meaning in their own lives.
(01:36:32) (ron) Creative initiative and leadership are qualities inherent to the FIRE Signs. Aries people exhibit these attributes through action and new beginnings. However, natives with Aries prominent are likely to lack durability and constancy of the Sign Leo and the social wisdom intrinsic to the Sign of Sagittarius. Their success, instead, depends largely upon their ability to start anew.
(01:37:15) (ron) Aries individuals are instilled with a basic need for praise and social approval, and when this is forthcoming, they enthusiastically tackle the next venture or adventure. As will all FIRE Signs, there is the ever present danger of self-centeredness and lack of consideration for others. Thus, there is also the need to cultivate an awareness of the rights and needs of others.
(01:37:57) (ron) TAURUS April 20 to May 20
(01:38:12) (ron) Individuals with the Sign Taurus prominent in their horoscopes are ascribed the qualities of the EARTH Triplicity and the FIXED Quadruplicity. Thus, they are primarily motivated by practical considerations, pursuing goals in a steady, persevering manner. In simple terms, these are goal-oriented individuals who seek to achieve material and emotional security and status.
(01:38:50) (ron) Taurus' nature as a NEGATIVE-FEMININE Sign indicates that these natives, as a rule, do not initiate action or expend energy in offensive conflict. They are more apt to use existing circumstances and situations to obtain maximum material benefit. This, however, does not mean that they lack forcefulness, for natives with a strong Taurus chart can be unrelenting and ruthless in conducting defensive battles.
(01:39:38) (ron) These natives' sense of values is largely colored by material wealth and status. Thus, they respect or value those who appear opulent and well-dressed. However, they must guard against adopting the view of people as property. Possessiveness and jealousy are often the outcome of such an attitude, with frequent tragic results for the native, as well as those around the native. Should Mars be posited in Taurus, sexual jealousy may often lead to violence.
(01:40:15) (ron) Those with Taurus prominent make loyal and steadfast friends, and will not abandon those they love. They are generally reliable and trustworthy, and can be counted upon in an emergency.
(01:40:38) (ron) These individuals will also exhibit a strong love of art, music, beauty, comfort and luxury that confers an appreciation for the finer things in life.
(01:41:00) (ron) GEMINI May 21 to Jun 21
(01:41:13) (ron) Those with Gemini prominent in their horoscopes have the qualities of the AIR Triplicity. Thus, they are intellectually-oriented individuals whose primary concern is ideas and their circulation. Gemini also belongs to the MUTABLE Quadruplicity, and therefore these natives have the added characteristic of adaptability. They possess
(01:41:42) (ron) the knack for adjusting to change, whenever and wherever necessary. However, on the negative side, this MUTABLE-AIR temperament may often cause the Gemini individual to be unreliable and fickle in personal and romantic relationships.
(01:42:09) (ron) i can agree with that :)
(01:42:28) (ron) The POSITIVE-MASCULINE character of Gemini gives these natives the ability to initiate intellectual activity. They take the initiative in communications, literary and scientific work and will do it in an intelligent and articulate manner. Their quick wit and sense of humor makes them popular, interesting conversationalists.
(01:43:10) (ron) Much of these natives' work will involve the communication of ideas through writing, speech, travel, lecturing or the use of electronic news and communications media. If their intelligence, abilities and the positive direction of their energies is used in a purposeful and organized fashion, those with Gemini prominent can accomplish a great deal, recognition and success will often be readily attainable.
(01:43:49) (ron) However, these natives tend to be restless and nonconformist. Unlike Taurus, they cannot stand a steady, fixed routine. Life becomes intolerable without newness and change. Thus, they often become confused about their goals, and may lack the necessary steadiness to fully realize their potentials. To avoid or, at least, minimize the effects of
(01:44:21) (ron) such pitfalls, they must cultivate the Aquarian-MERCURY trait of firmness and constancy of purpose and attention toward the accomplishment of their life objectives.
(01:45:30) (ron) The Sign Cancer is of the WATER Triplicity and the CARDINAL Quadruplicity. Thus, natives with this Sign prominent in their horoscopes are basically concerned with emotional issues and are continually engaged in activity in response to environmental needs. In the case of Cancer, this action is usually a reaction, for the Sign is a NEGATIVE-FEMININE Sign which does not initiate action on its own internally-motivated impulses in the manner
(01:46:25) (ron) that Aries would. Cancer is the Sign of motherhood, and just as the actions of a mother are dictated by the needs of her child, so are the actions of an individual with Cancer prominent dictated by the needs of the family or
(01:46:54) (ron) those in the immediate household or environment.
(01:47:23) (ron) It should not be forgotten that Jupiter and Neptune are Exalted in Cancer, conferring these individuals with a desire for inner peace and harmony and often causing them to seek out religious or spiritual precepts and guidance that can be incorporated into daily life.
(01:47:56) (ron) Often, these natives are highly sensitive, to the point of being psychic in their awareness of the feelings, thoughts and motivations of those around them, and it is here that difficulties are apt to arise. Such extreme sensitivity to external stimuli can cause the moods and feelings of these individuals to fluctuate constantly in response to the influence of environmental factors.
(01:48:40) (ron) Indeed, it is conceivable that such outside emotional pressures could cause emotional confusion and frustration. However, in the case of those with Cancer prominent, should the outside world become too frightening, their MOON-Jupiter-Neptune nature will incline them to withdraw into a private domain as an escape from that which is a threat to their well-being. In that event, there is erected a psychological barrier while waiting for a safer time to
(01:49:36) (ron) renew activity. The most serious difficulty encountered under such conditions would be the individual native's ability, in his, or her, psychological withdrawal, to determine the appropriate point at which he, or she, should rejoin the mainstream of humanity and resume activity. This requires fixity of purpose (MOON Exalted in Taurus) and a great degree of objectivity, characteristics which should be cultivated and properly developed by these individuals.
(01:51:25) (ron) LEO July 23 to August 22
(01:51:49) (ron) Those with Leo prominent in their horoscopes are, by virtue of Leo's membership in the FIRE Triplicity, endowed with energetic, enthusiastic, positive disposition, and thus they exhibit a character imbued with the qualities of strong will-power and leadership. Likewise, Leo's nature as a POSITIVE-MASCULINE Sign of the FIXED Quadruplicity will endow these individuals with great determination, durability and the initiative and forbearance to inaugurate
(01:52:35) (ron) activity without awaiting opportune circumstances. Thus it is that natives of a strong Leo bent possess an immense, and seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy and will-power, and this is the key to their charisma and leadership abilities. While Aries possesses the ability or drive to initiate action, Leo is endowed with a managerial capacity
(01:53:04) (ron) enabling those of its Sign to achieve and maintain themselves as the central figure in endeavors extending over long periods of time.
(01:53:47) (ron) being ruled by the sun...of couse like to be the center of activity...the center of attention :)
(01:54:13) (ron) Self-consciousness and pride, both characteristics of Leo, will incline these individuals to view themselves as actors upon the stage of life, needing to impress their audience. Thus, those with Leo prominent are fond of contests requiring individual skill and prowess, often provided by games and sports. They thrive upon the excitement generated by competition, and the opportunity to prove themselves to others.
(01:57:24) (ron) This need to impress others, should it be carried too extremes or expressed unwisely, can often become the source of their own undoing. Over-extension of personal resources and unwitting failures due to a lack of practicality and realism will convince even Leos that there are limitations to the scope of their power. This they must learn to recognize early, and thus avoid embarrassment and disgrace. If not, they are more than likely to experience losses through
(01:58:23) (ron) The proper exercise of wisdom will always open new avenues for creativity and self-expression in the lives of these natives.
(02:00:02) (ron) VIRGO August 23 to September 22
(02:00:21) (ron) The Sign Virgo is of the EARTH Triplicity and, like those with Taurus prominent, individuals of Virgo temperament are primarily motivated by practical considerations. Because Virgo is one of the MUTABLE Quadruplicity, these practical objectives are achieved or realized through adaptation to changing circumstances that are based upon past experiences, rather than by virtue of the fixed determination characteristic of Taurus.
(02:01:28) (ron) MERCURY'S rulership of Virgo confers upon these natives a high degree of intelligence, but, unlike Gemini, also ruled by Mercury, their mental ability is of an applied, practical nature, rather than the intellectual, theoretical nature of Gemini. These individuals acquire knowledge through practical work experience and when they are formally trained, their training is to acquire a definite skill or professional expertise in a chosen field of endeavor.
(02:02:09) (ron) Because Virgo is a NEGATIVE-MASCULINE Sign, it imparts to those of its bent the practical skills necessary to improve and make proper use of existing conditions. Those with this Sign prominent feel lost without a meaningful job that confers status and purpose to their lives. Thus, their acquisition of specialized, practical knowledge often insures job security and reasonable financial rewards. This is particularly true of Virgos engaged in the medical field.
(02:02:59) (ron) The concern of these natives for practical work and service leads to their constant involvement in matters of detail. But this concern for detail, should it be carried to excess, can induce a distorted view of reality, for natives of the Virgo disposition often tend to overlook the main issues of life while attempting to achieve perfection in their particular area of expertise. Constant attention to practical duty often leads to loneliness and social isolation.
(02:05:38) (ron) Those of Virgo temperament, like natives of others EARTH Signs, enjoy the material comforts of life, through they are likely to alternate between frugality and extravagance in their acquisition of these pleasures.
(02:06:53) (ron) LIBRA September 23 to October 22
(02:07:15) (ron) The Sign Libra is of the AIR Triplicity. Hence, those with this Sign prominent in their horoscopes are concerned with the intellectual affairs of life. Unlike Gemini, however, their primary interest is in human psychology, rather than ideas and information per se.
(02:08:47) (ron) Likewise, Libra's nature as a POSITIVE-MASCULINE Sign of the CARDINAL Quadruplicity confers those of its temperament with the ability to initiate social activity, spurring them to establish interpersonal relationships and partnerships. These individuals need not await the responses of others before taking affirmative action, as is characteristic of Cancer.
(02:09:32) (ron) Those with Libra prominent find meaning for their lives in the sharing of experience with others. Though this is largely a reaction to the loneliness and drudgery associated with the Virgo phase of their evolutionary development, it gives them an acute awareness of the intentions and responses of others. Marriage and other forms of partnership are of primary importance in the lives of these natives.
(02:10:11) (ron) Saturn's Exaltation in the Sign Libra imparts a sense of justice, responsibility and reliable conduct to all relationships of importance to individuals of this temperament, and, because of this, many of these natives are attracted to the legal profession.
(02:10:36) (ron) VENUS' rulership of Libra will, likewise, endow those of Libra temperament with a strong sense of refinement in art, music, personal appearance and conduct. Uncouth behavior or crude Surroundings are objectionable to them. These natives can accept simplicity, but not inharmony.
(02:11:14) (ron) SCORPIO October 23 to November 21
(02:12:15) (ron) Scorpio's placement in the WATER Triplicity confers those of its temperament with highly-charged emotional natures. These natives feel intensely about life and their place within it. Its added nature as a FIXED Sign causes these individuals to lack the ability to change or adapt their emotional attitudes as easily as other Water Signs. Thus, whatever emotional attitude they may entertain will be followed relentlessly to its final conclusion, whether it be
(02:12:51) (ron) positive or negative, culminating in the achievements of great heights or personal degradation. This is why it is said of Scorpio that this Sign produces both the highest and lowest examples of human expression. This is also why it is so important for natives of the Scorpio disposition to choose constructive paths from the very beginning, for once they have entered upon a way of life, it is not easily changed.
(02:13:31) (ron) Even though it is ruled by the dynamic planets MARS and PLUTO, Scorpio is a NEGATIVE-FEMININE Sign. Thus, individuals of its temperament can irrevocably change and transform that which is around them, for better or worse. Always, however, this must be accomplished within the context of existing conditions and circumstances.
(02:14:03) (ron) Though these natives may not be able to choose the situations that confront them, they do possess the power to transform them into a higher or lower form of expression. Hence, those with Scorpio prominent are always trying to improve the status quo.
(02:14:32) (ron) Uranus' Exaltation in the Sign, combined with PLUTO'S rulership of it, gives natives of this Sign strong psychic abilities and the potential for developing occult powers, leading to the ability to transform or transmute to a higher level of expression that which they touch.
(02:15:09) (ron) Those of Scorpio temperament are thorough, and masters at detailed perfection, due largely to their ability to comprehend and understand the underlying causes behind things.
(02:15:33) (ron) SAGITTARIUS November 22 to December 21
(02:15:55) (ron) Sagittarius' placement in the FIRE Triplicity confers those of its temperament with energetic, creative, inspirational natures. Likewise, its membership in the MUTABLE Quadruplicity inclines these individuals to express their leadership potential and creative drive in and through their understanding of the history and development of the existing cultural institutions. All MUTABLE Signs draw upon past experience as a basis for activity, and those of
(02:16:29) (ron) the Sagittarius disposition make use of their cultural experience and insight to mold religious, ethical, educational and cultural opinions and processes by directly influencing cultural ideologies. These natives are less concerned with details and specific facts, in contrast to those exhibiting the Mutable characteristics of Virgo and Gemini. Their interest, knowledge and expertise is of a more encompassing, though general, nature. Thus, they express their
(02:17:02) (ron) leadership abilities in a wider context, noticeably different from those of Aries or Leo who express their potential through individual direct action or establishing themselves as a central authority figure. Care should be exercised, however, to avoid impractical "ivory tower" approaches to life should this generalizing be carried to extremes.
(02:17:34) (ron) The co-rulership of Sagittarius by JUPITER and Neptune endows those of a Sagittarian temperament with intuitive insight and prophetic vision in the understanding of the future development of cultural institutions and attitudes. Boundless optimism will not permit these natives to concede to failure and, because of this, they often achieve great heights and inspire confidence in others.
(02:18:10) (ron) CAPRICORN December 22 to January 19
(02:18:53) (ron) The Sign of Capricorn falls in the EARTH Triplicity. Hence, individuals with this Sign Prominent, like those of Taurus and Virgo, are motivated by practical considerations. But, unlike those natives of the other Earth Signs, individuals of the Capricornian disposition, by virtue of Capricorn's nature as a CARDINAL Sign, achieve their
(02:19:28) (ron) practical objectives through constant activity. They possess an immediate practical awareness of their surroundings and little of practical consequence escapes their notice. Their deliberate and calculated modes of activity are augmented by their ability to make advantageous use of each opportunity for practical advancement.
(02:19:59) (ron) Capricorn is a NEGATIVE-FEMININE Sign. Thus, natives of this temperament are not inclined to initiate actions on their own, but prefer to wait for situations that can be turned to their advantage by timely intervention.
(02:21:48) (ron) Capricorn is ruled by SATURN, conferring those of its disposition with the capacity for patient, disciplined and organized work. They are strongly motivated by a desire for material status, respect in the eyes of the world and financial independence, and they require practical managerial responsibilities to fulfill themselves.
(02:22:34) (ron) It should be remembered that the desire and action planet, Mars, is Exalted in Capricorn. Thus, natives with this Sign prominent, though their actions may not be as forceful as those of Aries or Scorpio, coordinate their activities within an organized strategy, and are frequently more effective in the long run.
(02:24:09) (ron) These individuals often live a longer-than-average lifespan and, subconsciously know this, seek security and
(02:24:26) (ron) independence for their old age.
(02:25:10) (ron) AQUARIUS January 20 to February 18
(02:25:31) (ron) Aquarius falls in the AIR Triplicity. Hence, those with this Sign prominent are intellectually-oriented individuals concerned with ideas of universal humanitarian or scientific implication. Likewise, Aquarius' nature as a FIXED Sign inclines those of its bent to pursue their mental goals with steady purpose, unlike the vacillations of Gemini and the scale-tipping of Libra. They will not accept any idea or standard of conduct on faith alone. They respect only
(02:26:20) (ron) those ideas and principles which can be proven scientifically or through direct experience. And, again, they will not adhere to authority that they cannot respect. It is for this reason that this Sign is so closely associated with reformers and revolutionaries. However, when natives of the Aquarian temperament do change their minds, frequent or infrequent as it may be, they do so abruptly and unexpectedly, to the point of confusing and shocking others.
(02:28:46) (ron) Aquarius' nature as a POSITIVE-MASCULINE Sign inclines individuals of its temperament to take the initiative in formulating and implementing new ideas and practices. Mercury's Exaltation here confers highly-developed intellectual abilities which, when combined with the intuitive inspiration and original ideas provided by URANUS'
(02:29:15) (ron) natural rulership, imparts to those of the Aquarian disposition the ability to research important scientific discoveries, invent and innovate new techniques, theories and methodologies.
(02:29:38) (ron) The objective view of reality assumed by those with Aquarius prominent evokes an innate interest in large-scale social and humanitarian unfoldment, and, because of their impartiality of viewpoint, they are apt to acquire a great many friends and are frequently associated with scientific, political and humanitarian groups.
(02:30:09) (ron) PISCES February 19 to March 20
(02:30:26) (ron) This Sign Pisces falls in the WATER Triplicity. Hence, individuals of this temperament are largely motivated by feelings, emotions and intuitions. Likewise, Pisces' nature as a MUTABLE Sign will incline those of its bent to draw upon past experience retained in the subconscious memory to make decisions and formulate a way of life.
(02:31:04) (ron) Pisces is probably the most introverted of all the Signs of the Zodiac, a quality becoming to its NEGATIVE-FEMININE nature. Natives with this Sign prominent are engaged in an internal process of assimilation and understanding of a whole cycle of past experience in preparation for a new beginning, expressed through the following Sign, Aries.
(02:31:40) (ron) Jupiter's and NEPTUNE'S co-rulership of this Sign confers those of its disposition with strong religious feelings, usually based upon an internal intuitive perception of spiritual reality rather than upon external cultural conditionings, like those of Sagittarius.
(02:32:13) (ron) These individuals are highly susceptible to subliminal influences and emotional nuances within their environment and, subconsciously aware of this, they seek a quiet, secluded setting for protection in the exercise of their sensitive psyches. For this reason, they are often found in large institutions or places of retreat that offer maximum personal anonymity.
(02:32:52) (ron) Venus' Exaltation in Pisces endows these individuals with an extreme sensitivity to beauty, and the NEPTUNIAN imagination, when combined with this Venusian influence, often results in artistic or musical ability. Beauty in music, art or nature possesses a tremendous healing effect for those of Piscean temperament.
(02:33:29) (ron) Pisces is generally considered to be the most psychic Sign of the Zodiac, and those with this Sign prominent often manifest prophetic visions of the future, telepathic ability or an acute awareness of the past.
(02:34:19) (ron) ok...thru with this weeks signs of the sun

(02:50:41) (ron) earth signs, such as taurus, virgo and capricorn, tend to be practical
