Libra and Autumn Go Hand in Hand with Beauty
Astrology - The common balancing scales symbolize Libras, but don’t let this be misleading. The cosmic connotations of the scales have much more meaning than merely a simple mundane implement.
Libra crosses the ecliptic and the equator as the Autumnal Equinox ushers in the fall season. As the belief goes, this is an important balancing factor. The night is considered equal to daytime in length. Though the precisely equal days do not coincide exactly with the equinox, the imagery of balance still remains attached to the sign of Libra.
Libra stands at the threshold of the second half of the zodiac. The signs on the opposite half are complementary, balancing the oppositional energies through Libra’s expertise at relationships.
The first relationship is part of the Libra symbolism. Signifying the original reach to the outside world, Libra gets most of the credit in knowing how to handle relationships. A certain gentle, and harmonious personality, Libra is ruled by Venus.
Astrology - Yet, being a cardinal air sign*, Libra takes the lead. No one even notices that the Libra has taken control of a situation, because the gentle mode of this native has handled all of the surrounding relationships in the situation.
With two scales en hand, Libra weighs and balances. Often viewing relationships in terms of polarities, the Libra native organizes the surrounding environment. Astrology expert, Robert Hand, explains that the Libra needs to juxtapose self-perception through comparing inside and outside realms of existence.
For this reason, Libra seeks to be part of a pair. This is how Libras grow.
Astrology - Libra is a lover of beauty. The native may or may not be good at art, but still needs art to be part of the Libran sphere. Tending toward favoring art that is pretty is the Libran penchant. As per most air* signs, Libra does not handle emotional intensity very well. Some are so much so; they can barely stand to hear a sad story.

Do the astrology aspects and the biography match? - William Butler Yeats
Yeats, a legendary poet, has had so much impact on his fellow humanity. Almost 150 years later, his work is still adored by many. A poet whose karma played out in a life that gave him an incredible gift with the written word.
Many people are gifted, but Yeats’ had extraordinary capability. His birth chart astrology displays the rest of the magical components required to make such a shining star in the literary world.
With Aries in a trine aspect, he could focus on his mark with precision. He also had follow through, and a capacity for self discipline.
For some of us, these kinds of attributes are acquired. Yeats was born with them, along with all of the complimentary tools needed to use his gifts. His bequest to the world was destined to be part of this particular lifetime to become a world-renowned poet.
He was interested in mysticism, and ironically wrote his best works after receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature. To read a short biography of Yeat's life, click the following link :
http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1923/yeats-bio.html
Certain astrology aspects are rare, and are considered special compared to the ordinary square, trine, and conjunct aspects. Everyone has these plain aspects.
In astrology, the first portal in a horoscope interpretation that should set off bells and buzzers is a Grand Trine.
This is the sort of trine that connects through the elemental properties of Earth, Air, Water, or Fire. When one astrology element is dominant and three birth planets cohabitate within the same element, it instills a specific potency of the four areas.
The Grand Trine is an unusual occurrence. Yeats had two Grand Trines. These were Fire and Air. . . . chart courtesy of Astrodienst
Yeats’ Sun, Mercury, and Rising sign unite in Gemini.
Gemini is known for it’s own mercurial quickness of thought and mental faculty. Sociable and charming, Gemini graces an astrology chart with a talent for writing.
Adding fiery passion to the mix, Yeats’ second Grand Trine is situated in the element of fire. Leo, Aries, and Sagittarius comprise the essence of this one.
Leo gives drama; Aries contributes intelligent aggression while Sagittarius is yet one more sign contributing to writing skills and communication. Represented by the Archer, Sagittarius contributes to an otherworldly awareness, as well.
Libra also blends into the mix helping balance these energies, as well as giving him natural organizational skills. Venus in Taurus brings an intense focus on beauty and grace.
An Aquarian Moon sign gives him a certain aloofness and compassion for humanity all at the same time.
There were not very many people like him in history. For this reason the William Butler Yeats’ legend survives long after his passing. Dynamic astrology charts like his don’t happen very often, either.

Are women going to take power and change the world? - Nostradamus 2012 quatrains
Nostradamus' cryptic projections about the year 2012 may not be about world annihilation after all. The world may simply give way to a more feminine approach. Predictions for this controversial year vary to a great extent.
For fear of witch hunting during the Inquisition, Nostradamus began disguising his astrology predictions by writing them in quatrains. The mysterious quatrains came about as an attempt to conceal the divination aspects of astrology.
The correct interpretation of the quatrains is anyone's guess.
The strife that we have seen in the pre 2012 world could simply be blamed on the suppression of intuitive thinking. Instead of linear thinking, the intuitive process may take over and begin a new approach to solving the problems of the world.
Nostradamus had great respect for women. His philosophy was outside of the mainstream of Inquisition type mentality toward the feminine element. When religion turned in on itself and began destroying the intuitive avenues of spiritual understanding, violence against women grew and eventually became rampant. Witch hunts and persecution of supposed witches, most of them women, became commonplace horrors of those ancient times.
As an astrologer, Nostradamus was able to see feminine/masculine as polarities; simple waves of energy that represent the male or female essence. In order to be balanced, both sides of the wavelike pattern are necessary to allow the holistic energy to complete its motion in an uninterrupted pattern.
Straight line logic and reasoning grew to be the only accepted way of thinking and communicating. The female intuitive way of knowledge was regarded with suspicion. More than suspicion, an underlying fear of a woman's mysterious power led to some horrifying extremes. The female essence of feeling, nurturing, healing, and intuitive reasoning became signs of witchcraft.
Eve encouraged Adam to partake in the knowledge of the world which ended the blissful life they had known. Since then, branded with the role of temptress, the ills of society were blamed mostly on women because they distracted men from a focus on godliness.
Men were only supposed to keep their minds on piousness and God. Women were disdained because they were blamed for seducing men, and leading them away from their sole purpose of focusing on God.
Women are gradually working their way into positions of importance.
As the human race evolves, women are still advancing. But progress has been slow. With, Uranus, the planet of sudden changes, entering the astrological picture, the process may be greatly hastened. More about the pre 2012 planetary alignment : bit.ly/Ujnbu
In 2012, the planetary alignment could bring the world to a sudden change in human perception. We are headed there now with concerns about the environment, but there will be more.
A different interpretation of Nostradamus 2012 predictions:
The male dominated world will be replaced with female representation. Interpretations of the cryptic writings of Nostradamus and the 2012 predictions are only understood through intuitive means normally attributed to woman kind. Practicing astrologers can only offer conjecture about the true meaning of the endlessly fascinating Nostradamus 2012 predictions.

What are the two kinds of Sagittarius?
Astrology - The traveler, Sagittarius, is represented in the heavens as half horse, and half man. Sag holds a lyre in one hand, and has a bow and arrow nearby. The lyre represents joy, and the archery symbolism denotes travel, and sports.
Sagittarius loves to play games of any kind be it board games or outdoor sports. They are candid and engaging. Good writers and storytellers come under this astrological association.
More terms that describe this native are high caliber, and people who love freedom. Imagination and intellect are the trademark. Sagittarius almost always has a jovial nature
They find success with travel. They are also kindhearted and charitable. Somewhat scattered, the Sagittarian is also unreliable at times.
This astrological sign is one that has heard the still, small voice. The spiritual nature comes through the representative planet of Jupiter, which in turn provides a good luck streak in life. The color is blue.
Famous people in history with Sagittarius astrology are Milton, Spinoza, Churchill, Beethoven, Jimi Hendrix, and Keith Richard.
Undesirable characteristics include boisterousness, overconfidence, uncompromising, imbibing in the spirits too much.
Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of prosperity and good luck, Sagittarius may be inclined to gamble too much.
Part of the fire triplicity, Sagittarius is mutable hot, dry and masculine, and positive.
Older astrology texts describe Sagittarius with reference to having duality, but that was dropped eventually, and traded for the notion of two stages of growth. An advanced native will be seen to have characteristics of attraction to the sciences, philosophy, religion or any discipline that reveals the interconnectedness of all things.
A concern about wisdom is preferred to mere knowledge. The Sagittarius wants to understand the world in order to live in it more effectively.

About Scorpio
Hopefully, this article will soften up some of the more common views about Scorpio astrology. One short article does little to clearly define an astrological personality. In an astrology newsletter from esoteric astrologer, Malvin Artley, he comments about the undeserved bad reputation associated with the astrology of Scorpio.
Here’s more on Scorpio astrology:
Perhaps the imagery of a Scorpion is one of the things that casts this sign in somewhat of a negative, scary light. Scorpions can indeed be scary and lethal. The Scorpio native can be intimidating, too. We all need our self defense mechanisms for survival. Each sign has a different expression of self defense mechanisms.
Any person, no matter what astrology sign they may be born under has a purpose in life. Often referred to as an evolution, we experience the ups and downs of life in our own way. Difficult lessons to learn eventually lead to higher wisdom.
The higher wisdom is depicted as an upward climb on a spiral. Described within a spiritual focus, Malvin Artley states that:
"On the higher turn of the spiral, when the Scorpio is spiritually focused, the key phrase is “Warrior I am, and from the battle I emerge triumphant.” The victory referred to is the victory over one’s lower nature and the warrior is one’s own higher nature."
Artley’s statements are a reminder of many Scorpio acquaintances and friends. With desire being prominent in the Scorpio personality, when applied to helping others, the focus is intense. Marie Curie is one example of the altruistic Scorpio type.
Mystery as attributed to the Scorpio astrology works both ways. A fascination with mysteries can also be one of the facets of Scorpio astrology. As Madame Curie stayed doggedly with her research, she eventually solved the mystery that had captured her intrigue. With this, plus the toughness and tenacity of Scorpio, she ended up making a great contribution to humanity.
Scorpio’s have their mysterious side, and people may tend to fear the unknown. But rather than fear, respect of their inherent power may be a more adequate reaction to the astrology of the Scorpio native.

Astrology is about focusing on self – knowledge, and emanating the light of your inner being into the rest of the world. While being grateful for many parts of life, take a moment to express gratitude for your own personal existence.
We often wonder who we are sharing our universe with and the lore about angels has been around for centuries. Have you ever felt a brush on your shoulder only to turn around and see nothing? Maybe you thought the mattress was depressing next to you at bed time, but no one was there?
Celestial beings do make themselves known at certain moments in life to let you know that you are not alone. They want to direct you to your god source, and that would be within the depths of your soul.
Although astrological analysis comprises many facets of who you are, your Sun sign represents your soul. This is also the seat of gratitude and thanksgiving. Every year during this season, we remember when physical survival was not as easy as it is today. But what about making contact with your own soul?
Don't worry about being self centered. When you make contact with your inner sun, you actually end up benefiting the rest of the universe.
Give yourself a blessing by realizing the fortunate gift of love that comprises who you are. The people who love you are a blessing, and the love you are able to give keeps the sunlight of your soul beaming into the rest of the world.
The angels and your Sun sign astrology:
Angel Planet Sign
Raphael Sun Leo
Gabriel Moon Cancer, Pisces
Michael Mercury Gemini, Virgo
Anael Venus Taurus, Libra
Gabriel Mars Aries, Scorpio
Zadkiel Jupiter Sagittarius
Michael Saturn Capricorn
If you feel the presence of something gentle, whatever your astrology sign, you may want to call out the name and listen to that “still, small voice.” *

The Elements in Astrology
Readers are much more sophisticated about astrology these days, yet the most common astrology oversimplifies. For this reason, astrology has lost credibility with many people. Human beings are complex, and in-depth astrology always reflects a mulitfaceted individual.
Often referred to as a natal chart, in astrology, an astrology chart is what gives uniqueness to a personality. Very much unlike reading daily news astrology, when a birth chart is constructed, the multifaceted characteristics of a human being are explored.
The hieroglyphs are symbols seen within an astrology chart. What do they mean?
Astrology is an ancient art, and the early symbols are still used in contemporary natal or birth charts known as horoscopes. Hieroglyphs are a type of shorthand that saves time, and space. A lot of information makes its way to the wheel shaped form used by most astrologers.
Here is a brief rundown of what the planets actually signify. Hopefully this demonstrates some of the complexity covered in an authentic astrology reading. Whether the chart is simply exploring the personality of the subject, or calculating trends, it’s an astrology chart is a basic necessity for truly understanding who a person is.
Astrology and what the Planets represent:
Sun - soul
Moon – emotions, intuition
Venus – love nature
Mars – motivation; love nature of male expression
Mercury – communication, intelligence
Jupiter – growth and expansion (prosperity)
Saturn – stability through knowledge
Uranus – quixotic changes, genius, electricity
Neptune – spirituality
Pluto – subconscious
Astrology and house placement:
The next category functions as a sort of an underlay for the placements of the planets. This is the system of houses. Wedge shaped areas are described further in depth as to characteristics that are feminine or masculine, as most people have attributes of both genders. The houses represent basic areas of life.
For example, if you are a Leo, and your Leo sun sign falls into the fourth house, you are more of a homebody than most Leos. If the sun sign is placed in the seventh house, you are a relationship person. Because the seventh house is Libra’s home, this placement gives a tinge of the Libra nature to a basic Leo archetype.
After all of the planets are placed on the wheel or the natal chart, the angles between the placements are calculated. If two planets are opposite each other, on the wheel, it is called an opposition. This means inner conflict that needs to be resolved. A triangle shape between signs is a smoother flow of energy, and it adds ease to a person’s life.
Astrology - Triplicities and Quadruplicities indicate elements describing a certain facet of personality – Fire, Air, Earth, Water are descriptions of personality facets. The other consideration is a description of Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. Cardinal shows administrative abilities. Fixed indicates someone who isn’t too flexible. Mutable indicates flexibility.
An astrology chart goes a long way toward understanding a human being as a unique individual.

Essential Herbal Remedy for the Holistic Lifestyle -Echinacea
Veterinarians have long known about the benefits of Echinacea as an herbal remedy. A formerly abundant flower growing wild in massive sprays Echinacea has all but disappeared from its native habitat. Veterinarians have long used Echinacea as an herbal remedy for livestock. The whole plant flower, leaf, root, and stem went in with the usual feed ingredients. For humans, this herbal remedy is quite effective, too. Of course, it won’t be in a feedbag, but this herbal remedy really works.
Over harvesting has changed the volunteer status of these wildflowers, but not to worry. Now that people are aware of Echinacea’s worth as an herbal remedy, it is being cultivated all around the world. In certain soils it is actually invasive.
Echinacea is known for its power to fight off virus, stomach problems, and infections. In general, Echinacea can be used as an herbal remedy for getting rid of flu, colds, and skin problems, rheumatic fever. The fact that it can handle a virus is one thing it’s got over antibiotics.
At first, this unusual flower was harvested for its roots. Now the whole plant including leaves and flowers goes into the healing mix for making the herbal remedy. After harvesting, it is hung upside down to air dry. Then it is pulverized and made into capsules, or conjoined with other beneficial herbs.
Growing to about two feet tall, the two potent varieties of Echinacea are the purple, and the white. Also known as coneflower, it grows thin petals similar to a daisy drooping out of a cone shaped center.
Echinacea, an essential herbal remedy – How to grow and process
Nurseries sell Echinacea flower starts, as it has become popular for its unusual ascetic appeal in a flower garden. Cultivating it for medicinal herbal remedies would be one way to make sure it’s the real McCoy, since substitutes are being sold under the name of Echinacea.
The best time to harvest is right before the bloom completely opens. Starting out with the stems tied together in a bundle, hang the bundle upside down in a dry place. Let it get started with open-air drying, and then cover it with a paper bag to finish the process.
After it’s completely dry, pick the leaves off and save the flower heads. Run it through an herb grinder, an electric coffee mill, or a food processor with good sharp blades.
Herbal remedy plants that you grow for yourself enable you to be proactive about your own health. For people who don’t have health insurance, these essential herbal remedies will contribute to well being through self-sufficient means.

Gardening Transplanting Tips
Before you know it, the greenhouses will be opening up, and spring will be in full motion.
Some tips for transplanting from nursery stock are as follows:
1.) Once the flats of new plant babies arrive at your home, they need to go into the garden right away. The soil they have been living in is probably depleted, and leaving them around even for two or three days can be traumatic.
2.) I always check the moonsign to ensure optimum growth.
first quarter of the moon is best for above ground plants
second quarter continues to be good planting.
full moon is not a good time for activities in the garden.
last quarter accommodates root crops like carrots or beets
3.) Soak the flats in water for a while first. This gets the roots loose and ranging around nicely. I don't go with the recommendations of scraping or digging into the roots for loosening up the root ball. Salty fingers and scraping on delicate roots seems all wrong.
4.) A mild solution of liquid fertilizer strengthens the nursery starts and bolsters them up for growing in the new garden location. Loosen the soil where the planting will take place. Dig the hole and add lots of the diluted fertilizer before putting the starts into the ground. Replace the dirt, gently pat down, and soak the area again once in the ground. Water them every day for a couple of weeks.
5.) While in this process, always say god bless you when moving the plant babies. I shared this transplanting ritual with my Catholic girlfriend who changed it into a chant - . . . .godblessyou godblessyou godblessyou.
When it's harvest time, your plant babies will be grown up and ready to return your blessing with the bounty of flowers and/or vegetable produce from your very own garden.

Here's a potato recipe I stumbled upon, and it turned out to be really simple. Every recipe I do is prepared for the getting the most nutrition. Sometimes the easiest way is also the most nutritious.
I don't peel potatoes, just clean them really well and remove eyes.
I try to avoid using cornstarch. Corn products give the least amount of nutrition per calories consumed. So, in this recipe I used oatmeal for the thickener.
QUICK AND EASY SCALLOPED POTATOES
Oil the casserole pan you've chosen for the number of servings. Use one potato per person.
Slice your nice clean potatoes into the bottom of the casserole making only one layer.
Dot with little squares of Cheddar or mozzarella cheese. Then sprinkle with a thin layer of of oatmeal (avoid the instant kind if possible.) I also sprinkle flax seed with the oatmeal. Add salt lightly between each layer, too.
Alternate layers of these ingredients till you reach the top of the pan. For an interesting effect, cut the last layer of potatoes into small cubes. You can add some thin wedges of onion with these. The onions turn dark brown on the tips.
Now add milk till it fills the casserole to about a half an inch from the top.
Bake at 300 degrees or until bubbling. . .about thirty minutes.

Flawed Economic System - Could Neurosis be the Cause?
A more sophisticated economic theory leaped out at me one day when I decided to leaf through the alumni publication sent out by my old alma mater. Usually nothing interests me about those days of old because nothing is same there anymore.
Page turn. In this beautifully done publication, a photo of an interesting looking man was situated next to a caption. It pressed for an answer : “What kind of shopper are you ?” I hoped it wasn’t anything trite like a ten question quiz. It wasn’t.
The man in the photo, Paul J. Albanese, studied economics but changed over to psychology when he couldn’t agree with the teachings of economic theories regarding human behavior.
He believed the predictions and forecasts about people in modern day society are different now. Marketing forecasts should be based on a few more categories of types of people and what kind of behaviors come from each.
According to this new perspective on economics, four different personality categories branch out in varying degrees of intensity. Believed to provide market researchers with more accuracy and detail – Albanese describes normal, neurotic, primitive, psychotic in that order. More gray area to ponder is that the not-normal folks have good days when they may pass as normal.
The Normal type consumers earn their namesake category because of being consistent and predictable. Neurotic shoppers are ambivalent, indecisive individuals. Primitives are a pain in the neck to everyone around them. Compulsives will max out a credit card, and spend every dollar they have when binging on excess. Psychotic shopping is the low end extreme where people have been arrested for passing bad checks.
Albanese: “Typically when marketers do research, there’s an implicit assumption that everyone they’re using as research are [functioning] at the normal level. And unless they are at the normal level, their behavior might not be consistent, causing the research to be flawed.”
Does he mean to imply that greed isn’t part of the equation? What about avarice?
The flawed research may be what Greenspan referred to in his public apology speech in late October 2008. He seemed to be quivering as he spoke of the flaw in his thinking. He stood up to take responsibility for his part in the financial crisis. apologize for the errors of his wrong thinking.
If we have a new economic reality to deal with – what is it? And if we are suddenly supposed to do business by this new reality, what was the old one? How did we succeed with the old reality if indeed it was so very wrong? I think it comes down to morals.
A generation of noble folks is passing on. Now we have people doing business who are of a new belief system, can be from any part of the world, of any religion or lack thereof.
More on the psychology of economics: Ignoring these nuances could influence the premises that the marketers use for judging a trend as well as the motivations behind the trend. After twenty five years of research, the economic psychologist states that a marketer must be able to distinguish someone who has bipolar disorder from someone who simply operates at the primitive level.
We’ve had fun with statistics and calculating the variables with the amazing speeds our computers have computed, but now it’s time to soften the edges of the cookie cutter. The economic system that once operated on trust, can do so no more – that’s where the tear in the fabric became a flaw.
