Greetings friends,

Our ancient ancestors did not have watches, computers or modern equipment to compile copious amounts of data (ephemeris) to sit and study. What they did have at the time was the stars and luminaries above. When looking to the heavens above, they viewed these patterns. We refer to these patterns or symbols as the Zodiac. The ancients determined the prominent zodiac symbol seen in the sky was the prominent sign for that given full month. Example, the entire month of January is the sign of the Goat. This is Capricorn. Regardless of the day, the whole month is Capricorn. Therefore if one is born January 30th, they would then go read Capricorn’s horoscope in the newspaper. Yes, their sun sign is still Aquarius, but their astrological natal birth chart begins from birth month.

(See wheel below for your birth month and sign)

In addition, every person’s natal birth chart has 12 specific houses or departments, as there are 12 corresponding zodiac signs. For each department, it relates to certain important aspects of an individuals life. i.e. 10th house or department represents their career and public standing. Here is an additional reason to read horoscopes based on birth month. If you look at a natal birth chart that has 12 departments, also known as houses and we now know the very first house is our birth month, we input that month in house number 1. House number 2 becomes the next month in the zodiac.

Example: Born January 30th, 2011 - Aquarian.

First house - Capricorn
Second house - Aquarius
Third house - Pisces
…And so forth

If the Moon is in Aquarius that given day, look above to this example and determine what house it is affecting.

Yes, it will affect that person’s second house of Aquarius not first house.

It is easier to say about this person’s date of birth as they are born in the constellation of Capricorn (January) and their Sun Sign is Aquarius (February).

Birth Month Categories:
January - Capricorn
February - Aquarius
March - Pisces
April - Aries
May - Taurus
June - Gemini
July - Cancer
August - Leo
September - Virgo
October - Libra
November - Scorpio
December - Sagittarius

Astrology predictions for upcoming 10-10-10
(Date References 10-8-2010 to 10-11-2010, see Astrology Chart below)


Preface
It is important for me to share that astrology work is not Psychic work. It is merely interpreting the stars or the language of the stars.

This is no different from having a language interpreter.

There are some Astrology workers however; that is able to sense or pick up on different subtle messages or intuitions while doing an astrological reading.

Observations
Some of the key elements to observe or look for while doing astrology readings or forecasting are themes, patterns, rhythms and cycles.

For example in Divine Astrology - approximately every 1.5 years, there is a major change of the Dragon’s Head and Dragon’s Tail. This means that the North Node of the Moon (Dragon’s Head) is now entering a brand new set of zodiac signs . i.e. Dragon’s Head in Capricorn and the Dragon’s Tail (South Node of the Moon) in Cancer.

Therefore, to make one full complete cycle of the dragon’s head and tail in these same zodiac signs mentioned takes a full 18 years to get back to it.

There are other very important cycles in human evolution and growth. These cycles are done with certain age ranges.
Age 29 major shift and changes in one’s life
Age 39-42 major shift and changes in one’s life
Age 54 major shift and changes in one’s life
Age 72 major shift and changes in one’s life
Age 84 major shift and changes in one’s life

It takes Uranus approximately 84 years to make a complete rotation around the sun. This is equivalent to one human life cycle.

One way I help translate cycles, patterns and themes is by analogies. One analogy is our school system. Most of us begin at a level (cycle) of elementary school. Then, we are moved up to Jr. High. We are still learning and in school but in a new cycle at a different level. This moves forward into high school and ultimately college. The learning is just at a higher level with more experiences now in play.

So, with Astrology we can go back in time to see if history is repeating itself. To some extent we can say yes, but it may be at a different level and circumstances, i.e. going through recessions or a the great depression in our economic system.

Conversely, we can look ahead to see if a pattern may repeat itself.

If we can do this, the question is can we course correct it in some way? Can we use our power of choice and will to help avoid major catastrophes or events that may not be to the greater good of the world or mankind?

As we approach the dates mentioned above, we will have the Moon, Mars and Venus all in the sign of Scorpio. At the same time there will be Saturn, Mercury and the Sun in the sign of Libra. Libra rules the areas of justice, man-made and universal laws, laws of opposites and also balance and harmony.

These combinations of dates, planets and zodiac signs can produce multiple events, circumstances and situations.

By merely looking at the keywords mentioned in the list above, can you see how this is possible?

To the greater good of mankind is how we all can utilize our choice and will to direct any of these energies (key words).

Just think of the Titanic that was discovered in the depths of our waters many years ago. Hidden treasures found that could help explain so many historical questions. These are the good qualities of Scorpio and Moon in Scorpio.

Scorpio’s counter energy played out recently when we had a scandal of a few Russian spies who were caught, investigated and sent back to Russia.

It is good to stay alert and aware of your surroundings during this time frame. Think of the energies and principles of these keywords of planets and zodiac signs as if you are receiving a weather forecast. Being prepared of the weather elements for the day is basically no different from having an astrology forecast.



Sister Sage!

I want to thank all of you for your love, prayers and support on my journey to healing. This goes to show just how we are all so Universally connected. Even those people we may never have a chance to meet in person, but bring such special meaning into your life. This is one of my personal stories and I am so humbled to share it with you all.

Whether it is Astral, Universal or Cosmological in nature, we are all connected. Sometimes I feel we can be even more connected to those we have never met in person; but through other means such as the information super highway. As an Astrologer I have been blessed to do many readings for those in person and those whom I never met in person.
I remember doing a reading for Bob in 2000 and I knew he was a special and gifted one. Just by looking at his stars I knew he had many special gifts that were handed to him by the Universe. I translated those astrological gifts to him. I knew he had potential for healing others through various means. What I did not know was exactly how that would be; i.e. as a Shaman, Massage Therapy, Reiki or what.

One day soon after Bob's astrological reading, he opened up and started sharing his Orb pictures with me. My first intuition was that he had some type of portal on his property and I shared that with him. Since that day, we have been in internet contact and perhaps Astral contact since then. I say that because last year I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Scared out of my mind, I had decided to go to the most powerful healers that I knew. Bob was one of those special and dear ones. There were many of nights before going to sleep I would say my prayers and do some rituals that Bob and my loved ones had shared with me. There were a handful of those nights that I was actually dreaming, but it was Bob that was in my dreams and bringing healing spirit breath to my body. I had never had that experience before. That was my first indication that Bob had a gift of remote healing. I remember one morning leaping out of bed, only to email him and tell him of my experience. I had a few more of those. I was not surprised to hear his response saying he was in meditation and prayer for me at the time of my dreaming. I have had a few of these experiences with Bob. I often wonder if his ORB's assist him with these healing energy properties, or his stars? Whatever he has, I am thrilled to report that I am Cancer free and happy as can be. All my tests are and will continue to be normal.

Bright Humble Blessings And In Gratitude To You Bob.

Q: Dear Sister Sage,

Your readings you did with my friends and I over the last few years have been helpful and enlightening. As we listen to our own readings then each others, we noticed that you describe how someone can be born on the same day, time and year and still have different experiences. You explain things on a level that we can easily understand. We are hoping you can explain further how you determine who and how the same "birth date" can affect someone else completely different? And explain how you go about doing your Astrology readings?

Love and Gratitude,

A: Hi Ladies in California. Awesome question and I am certain that there are many people who have the same question and or misunderstandings about getting an astrology reading.

First: It is so important for each person to realize when an Astrologer does a reading for you, they are not "Psychics." That is the very first thing people tend to do is say' that is right about me or that is wrong about me with their readings. What they are not realizing, is that an Astrologer is just that " an interpreter of the Stars."

They are not out to read your mind or current life settings in a psychic capacity. They want to help you understand your strengths, weaknesses, karmic patterns/tendencies, the likelihood of an event or circumstance to take place, past life, forecasting and other pertinent information. They want to help you translate the energies of your stars and also how best to use them. It does not mean you will like a certain category, job description or a person to marry of a particular sign. I know many people who say they do not like a particular sign and unaware they keep attracting that same astrological sign into their lives. There is a reason for that. That is the world of "laws of attraction." This "law" can be included under the heading or umbrella of Karma, with further explanation in your own personal reading.

Secondly: To be more specific to your question about same birthdate; it is so very important to keep in mind the following 3 rules: Remember that each person has their own Karma from their current lives and past lives. Next, that people also have choice in how they will use their stars or energies of the stars. They can use the positive or negative side of each planet or luminary. The choice becomes theirs and then karma follows that choice. Then we have life experiences. Even if they are born on the same day and year, each of them will either have different parents, living environments, state or country of their upbringing and so forth, which offers different life experiences.

This also applies to twins. They might have some similar experiences but their karma, life choices, and past lives are vastly different from each other.

Thirdly: The other important factor I look at is the intensity and or likelihood of an event occurring. For example, I might say the chances of a move and a career or job change will be taking place during a particular time frame. I would then say usually the chance of this particular thing will be happening; but the intensity will be based on a few factors. One of those factors would be if someone is resisting change. Then I would say the intensity will be "loud". Meaning that it is taking bulldozers and the act of God to get you to open yourself to the Universe moving you to where you need to be on your astrological/spiritual path. Others may not have resistance and therefore they move without alot of disruption and stress. The stress, chaos, crisis, resistance are good indicators or at minimum helpful tips to the recipient of the reading/forecast.

Another factor included to this same example is Karma and Choices. How have you handled your choices when it comes to home and career? Are you in alignment with what you have been supposed to be doing i.e. taking your classes and or reading the current information in your specific job setting? Has your life been lived in a balanced way? Have you been using and utilizing your talents to your fullest potential? Were you honest or dishonest with a client or yourself? Are you basically burnt out with your current position and or job? Is there a current crisis going on in the home or career area already? There are about a hundred more questions I could add to this when doing an astrological interpretation/forecasting. Some people really have not asked themselves these questions or may not be paying attention to some of these important areas. Resisting change can create crisis or stress, whereas, going with the flow of your changing stars is less stressful. Just like an ocean tide; are you going against the tide or with it.

Thank you for such great questions!

Q: Hi Sister Sage. There are a group of us here in Spain that read your notations regularly. From reading astrology material it states that planets come back around every so many years. For example you say Jupiter was in Scorpio about a year ago and it takes about one year in every sign or so then goes to the next sign. So what happened the last time it was in Scorpio or where it is now in Sagittarius? How does it affect us each time it returns from its full cycle around?


C.S. in Spain

A: Another great question and actually one of my favorite topics. I do believe that there are cycles, rhythms and patterns with respect to astrological changes. For example I tell people it takes about 18 months for the dragons head and tail to sit in its chosen 2 signs, then on to the next set of signs. Or I say that Jupiter depending on retrograde will take about One year in the sign it currently resides in. So basically for Jupiter it will take about 12 years to make one full revolution to come back around to that sign it was sitting in. i.e. Jupiter in Sagittarius is to end on December 20th 2007 and Jupiter won't return for another 12 years in Sagittarius.

One must know what Jupiter is and does and then what the Sign it is sitting in means and represents. The last and important part is then to know what department of your life it is touching. As you have learned there are 12 departments to each Astrology Chart. You can go to forecast button and read about what house or department it is sitting in for you currently.

Now for fun let me ask you where you were, what you were doing, (remembering), during these dates to help clairify!

February 1971 - 1972
January 1983 - 1984
January 1995 - 1996
Currently November 24th 2006 until December 20th 2007

Can you see any patterns or cycles with regards to the dates the last time Jupiter was in Sagittarius. I just learned so many things and I can say yes, there are big correlations and easily seen patterns.

On a global level we can do the "this day in history" look up. Go back and read again what Jupiter means and Sagittarius to compare these past dates with what is happening now.

Thanks for your question.
