13th Sign of the Zodiac

2009-03-07T09:24:23.277-08:00

Ophiuchus - 13th Sign of the Zodiac - by Elizabeth Brodie

Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer, is often mistakenly called the 13th sign of the zodiac. In fact despite not appearing on most modern zodiacs it's actually the 10th sign of the Real Solar Zodiac. Aquarius, the water carrier, is the 13th and last sign of the Real Solar Zodiac whereas Pisces is the final sign of the more commonly used zodiac.

Ophiuchus is a sun-sign i.e. the sun can be seen against the stars of Ophiuchus between the 30th November and 17th December each year, although the dates that it can be seen there will vary a little from year to year, so it is sometimes quoted as being from 1st December to 18th December.

Ophiuchus is an Ancient Greek constellation and one of the original Ptolemy constellations which appear in the Al Magest Star Catalogue c. 130-170 AD. Ophiuchus also appears on the Farnese Globe, which is a roman copy of a depiction of Atlas holding the celestial sphere aloft.

The Western Zodiac does not feature Ophiuchus because he does not appear in the commonly used Tropical Zodiac - considered by many to be a huge over-simplification of the heavens. The Tropical Zodiac is considered over-simplified by many as it defines the sun as spending an equal amount of time in the normal twelve astrological signs. The reality is actually quite different.

So where did Ophiuchus come from? The name itself is derived from the Greek word for 'serpent handler', hence the depiction of a man supporting a snake. There are various possible sources for this although the most widely accepted in modern times is that Ophiuchus represents Asclepius, a legendary Greek healer who is said to have learned the secrets of life and death. Asclepius was killed by Zeus to prevent him from bringing immortality to the human race. However, in recognition of his great works Zeus placed his form in the stars after killing him. Other possibilities are that he represents the Trojan priest Laocoon or is a representation of Apollo wrestling with the serpent at Delphi.

The Chinese Astrology | Year and Month Breaker

2009-03-05T08:59:08.808-08:00

Chinese Astrology - Year and Month Breaker - by Alvin YapIn ancient time, the Chinese had discovered to their amazement that the universe is made up of energy fields known to them as "Qi". They believed that the Sun, Moon, Earth and other planets in the Solar System radiate cosmic energy which is constantly changing over time depending on the relative positions of the planets.The discovery had led to the creation of the Chinese calendar which is based on the movement of this cosmic energy. The Chinese charted this cosmic energy into 22 energy pillars known as the Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthy Branches (equivalent to Twelve Zodiac signs). From these combinations of heavenly stems and earthly branches, the Chinese Solar Calendar (Hsia) is derived which is quite similar to the western Gregorian calendar as it is also based on the earth's orbit around the sun. However, instead of starting the year on the 1st of January, the Chinese Solar Calendar begins the year on the 1st day of Spring which falls on or around the 4th Feb. This calendar is also used in the practice of Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology known as the Four Pillars of Destiny. You can get a free reading of your destiny at proactive-qi.com/Destiny.htmlBased on a person's date and time of birth, the influence of this cosmic energy on the newborn is said to chart the destiny and characteristics of that particular person.So how does the Chinese Solar Calendar determine whether a day is good or bad?It is the days when the Zodiac sign of the year clashes with the Zodiac sign of the day.The twelve Zodiac signs and their clashes are as follows:-Rat clashes with Horse Ox clashes with Goat Tiger clashes with Monkey Rabbit clashes with Rooster Dragon clashes with Dog Snake clashes with PigFor instance, in the year of the Pig (solar year 2007), the Pig clashes with the Snake of the day. Therefore, a person who is born in the year of the Pig will have a bad day on the day of the Snake. Therefore, any Snake days in 2007 is called a Year Breaker day and it is deemed inauspicious.There is also the Month Breaker day. This happens when the Zodiac of the month clashes with the Zodiac of the day. For example, in the month of the Dog (9th solar month), the Dog clashes with the Dragon of the day. Therefore, any Dragon days in the 9th solar month is a Month Breaker day and it is considered inauspicious.This is just one quick and simple way in a complicated system of date selection used in Chinese Astrology.About the Author--------------------Alvin Yap is the founder and owner of the website http://www.proactive-qi.com which offers free horoscope readings based on the Chinese Astrology known as the Four Pillars of Destiny and free consultation on the Chinese Metaphysical Science of Feng Shui.

Predict your future with Chinese Astrology

2009-03-05T08:18:40.430-08:00

Predict your future with Chinese Astrology - by Amit BhallaAstrology is often related to predictions; but it is more than that, in fact, it is a science of planets through which one can gain knowledge about himself and the environment he or she lives in. Well, astrology is divided into many streams and Chinese astrology is one of the most significant as well as followed science. One can define Chinese astrology as divination of the future from the Chinese calendar, which is based on astronomy, and ancient Chinese philosophy. In particular, it is based on the age-old sexagenary cycle of sixty years that have been documented since the time of the Shang Dynasty till date.This basic cycle has been constructed from two cycles, such as the 10 heavenly stems, i.e. the five elements in their yin and yang forms and the 12 earthly branches, or the 12-year cycle of animals referred to as the Chinese zodiac. The Chinese animal zodiac operates on a cycle of the moon in a month and hours of the day. This zodiac refers to a pure calendrical cycle. In this there are equivalent constellations like those of the occidental zodiac. In ancient times there were astrologers who watched the sky for heavenly symbols and then would predict the future. The predictions ware done on many things like the state, but this was a quite different practice of divination from the popular present-day methods.In fact, these ancient astronomers related five major planets by the names of the element they were associated with. The planet Venus corresponds to metal particularly with gold; Jupiter to wood; Mercury to water; Mars to fire and Saturn to earth. According to Chinese astrology, a person's destiny can be determined by the position these planets, along with the positions of the sun, moon, comet and the person's time of birth and zodiac sign. One's fate and destiny are predicted by birth date and birth hours, and the system is still used in modern day Chinese astrology to predict fortune. The 28 Chinese constellations are very different from the 88 western constellations. For example, the big bear or Ursa Major is known as dǒu; the belt of Orion is known as shēn, or the happiness, fortune, longevity trio of demigods. The seven northern constellations are referred to as xúanwǔ. Xuan Wu is also known as the spirit of the northern sky or the spirit of water in Taoism belief.In addition to astrological readings of the heavenly bodies, in Chinese astrology, the stars in the sky form the basis of various folk tales. The other important significant things of Chinese astrology are the lunisolar calendar, the sixty year calendar, agricultural calendar and five elements like wood, fire, earth, metal and water. In fact, Chinese astrology has animal symbols unlike conventional zodiac signs, such as rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, dog, rooster and boar. Therefore, these elements form an important part of Chinese astrology. In fact, it is said that if one of these elements go missing then the horoscope will be of no significance. Hence, while preparing a horoscope one has to keep all the things in mind for a prosperous fortune.About the Author---------------------------Amit Bhalla works to help all those who want information about the latest and the best, most happening places in the city.
