<description><![CDATA[ Has the medium for gravity been found?!  Has the origin of matter been discovered?!  In his latest book, "Alternative Constructs for the Origin and Nature of the Universe (ACONU)", Jon Aaronow makes such hopeful claims:<br /><br />"The starting point from which this book originates is the following obvious and simple statement:<br /><br />It is impossible to get "matter" from nothing.<br /><br />Everyone should be able to agree on this. Even conventional laws of Conservation of Mass and Conservation of Energy state this.  Therefore true matter cannot magically appear from the void to begin the universe.<br /><br />Yet… we cannot deny we exist or perceive ourselves to exist.  So, it logically follows that there must be a way that matter can "seem to be" without actually being there.  In other words, our matter must actually be “virtual matter” not "true matter".  True matter does not exist, cannot exist. So when we refer to matter or mass in this book, we refer to "virtual matter".   When the Big Bang theory proposes true matter miraculously exploded out from a tiny point of pre-existing energy, this is simply not possible.  <br /><br />A proposal to the solution to this paradox will be presented here, and from this proposal other hypotheses will emerge concerning the nature of the atom, electromagnetic energy, motion, time and gravity.."<br /><br />First stating the vitally important yet not-so-talked-about paradox of "getting something from nothing", Aaronow, a scientist, geographer and engineering designer, launches his book on a pithy jaunt into the heart of the atom to discover and declare something uncomfortable for most scientists.  Aaronow believes only by facing this vital question can we begin to take the right path to finally understanding gravity, the atom and the universe.<br /><br />As far as gravity, in short, Aaronow contends that it results from human perceived time trying to resolve one moment at a time from "All Time Data", each moment of a celestial body, for instance, is a "Dynamic Average Location" of all of its life locations, and that this naturally produces orbits.<br /><br />Aaronow’s secular book is not esoteric, is easy to read, and is not scientifically offensive.  Readers will enjoy and ponder the many new ideas in "ACONU" for a long time. <br /><br /><a href=http://members.cox.net/jaaronow/>http://members.cox.net/jaaronow/</a> website<br /><br />--<br /><a href=http://members.cox.net/jaaronow/>http://members.cox.net/jaaronow/</a><br />Jon Aaronow has been employed professionally in Engineering and/or Geographic roles for over 20 years.

<title>The Astrology of the Jewish Kabbalah</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Divination, Evocation and Vision are the preliminary techniques of Magic rituals in the kabbalah. There is considerable justification for their employment: when there is adequate understanding of their meaning and technical procedure. But these are preliminary methods only. They are but steps leading to the consummation of the supreme sacrament. The inevitable end of Magic is identical to that conceived of in Mysticism, union with God-head. Magic conceives of divinity as Spirit and Light and Love. It is an all-pervasive and omnipresent vital force, permeating all things, sustaining every life from the most minute electron to the largest nebula of mindstaggering dimensions.<br><br><br>It is this Life which is the level of the entirety of existence, and it is this primal awareness in which we live and move and have our being. In the course of manifestation, cosmic centres develop within its infinitude, centres of lofty intelligence and power, whereby the cosmic high tension may be modified and reduced to a lower key so as ultimately to produce an objective manifestation. These cosmic centres of life are what for the moment we may name the Gods (not spirits)--beings of enormous wisdom, power and spirituality in an ascending hierarchical scale between us and the unknown and unnamed God. The particular hierarchy that they form receives in Magic a clear classification in terms of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. <br><br>Sometimes to describe these concepts, there is the metaphor of a man striving to reach the roof top of a several storeyed building. Now Magic conceives of spiritual development in an analogous way. That is to say, it conceives a personal evolution as progressive and orderly. Divinity is the objective we seek to reach, the roof top. We, those of us cherishing the mystical ideal, are below on the ground. Not with one leap may we attain the summit.<br><br><br>By means of the magical technique we employ the invocation of the Gods, who answer metaphorically to the stairs or lift, and attempt union with their wider and vaster consciousness. Since they represent the several cosmic levels of energy and mind intervening between us and the supreme goal, as we unite ourselves in love and reverence and surrender to them, by so much the nearer do we approach to the ultimate source and root of all things. <br><br>Using the plan of the Tree of Life as his guide, the magician invokes the lower Gods or Archangels as they are named in another system, desirous of mingling his own life with, and surrendering his own being to, the greater and more extensive life of the God. Thus his spiritual perceptions become finer and more sensitive, and his consciousness becomes with time accustomed to the high tension of the divine force flowing through him. His interior evolution proceeding, he invokes the God of the Sephirah or plane immediately above. Following the same procedure, he attempts to assimilate his own essence, his own integrated consciousness, to that of the divinity he has invoked. And so on--until finally he stands upon the lofty Darien peak of spiritual realisation, united with the transcendental life of infinity, feeling with universal love and compassion, conscious of all life and <br>every thing as himself with supreme vision and power.<br><br><br /><br />--<br />The kabbalah has the power to enrich our life experience and to better understand ourselves.

<description><![CDATA[ Groups of signs in astrology share certain characteristics that are classified according to four earthly elements – fire, air, water and earth. It helps explain why some signs are more compatible than others. <br /><br />The Fire signs are Aries (March 21 to April 19), Leo (July 23 to August 22)  and Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21). Fire people are leaders, dynamic. They light up everything around them. Because Fire needs Air to exist, Fire signs are most compatible with the Air signs. Water is anathema to Fire and a Water person could try to dampen the dynamism and enthusiasm that defines Fire.<br /><br />The Air signs are Aquarius (January 20 to February 18), Gemini (May 21 to June 21) and Libra (September 23 – October 22). These are the idea signs, the air that breathes a spark into a flame. They can’t be tied down. They require freedom of movement and thought. <br /><br />The water signs of Cancer (June 22 to July22), Scorpio (October 23 to November 21) and Pisces (February 19 to March 20) are characterized by the phrase still waters run deep. They’re emotional and sensitive, given to deep thoughts and conversations. Just as water can blur an image or hide secrets within its depths, so do Water signs have secretive emotions and abilities.  The Water signs are most compatible with Earth signs.<br /><br />The Earth signs are Taurus (April 20 – May 20), Virgo (August 23 to September 22) and Capricorn (December 22 to January 19). They are stable and consistent. While not as compassionate as the water signs, they are nonetheless nurturing. They can be rigid (stick in the mud) and easily stuck in routines. They are most compatible with Water signs, as Water is necessary for the Earth to properly nurture growing things. Earth helps Water contain itself, which is often necessary for survival on the planet.<br /><br /><br />--<br /><br/>Ashok Arora providing <a href="http://www.ewebguru.com/">Web Hosting Services </a>, <a href="http://mkgastrologer.com/">Astrologer in Delhi</a>and<a href="http://mkgastrologer.com/">Astrologer In NCR</a><br /><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The invention of the telescope was a major advance in the science of Astronomy, but who invented it? Maybe you think you already know the answer.<br><br>Well, what would you say if I told you that you're probably wrong? After all, it was Galileo Galilei who invented it, right? You might be surprised by the answer to that question. Although Galileo Galilei was a great astronomer, he didn't invent the telescope.<br><br><b>If not Galileo, then who?</b><br><br>A man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. He was born in Wesel, Germany and made his home in Middleburg, part of the Zeeland province in the Netherlands. He was married there in 1594, and became a citizen in 1602. He was a spectacle-maker by trade.<br><br>The Italians developed new glass-making techniques which were introduced to the Netherlands in the 1590's. These new techniques helped to bring about new ideas and innovations in the glass-making community and people started to experiment with different ways to combine lenses.<br><br><b>Where is the proof?</b><br><br>Many other people claim to have invented the telescope, but Hans Lipperhey is the only person documented to have applied for a patent for the device.<br><br><b>Child's play</b><br><br>Legend has it that it wasn't Hans himself, but his children who actually invented the telescope while they were playing.<br><br>So now you know the story of the telescope and how it came to be.<br><br><br /><br />--<br /><a href="http://www.astronomy-for-kids-online.com">Astronomy For Kids Online</a><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<title>Cosmic Rays snd the Cygnus Mystery</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Since the discovery in the 1920s that all types of radiation can cause gene mutations, scientists have wondered what role high energy cosmic rays might play in human evolution. Yet it was an idea destined never to find favour among geneticists, who could determine no hard evidence that the background flux of cosmic rays might have had any noticeable effect on human cell mutation.<br><br>All this is about to change, as an examination of ice cores extracted from sites in Antarctica and Greenland provides new information on the level of cosmic rays reaching Earth in past ages.<br><br>When so-called ‘primary’ cosmic rays hit the upper atmosphere they generally break up to produce a plethora of ‘secondary’ particles that form isotopes, which fall to Earth and are preserved each year in layers of ice. One such isotope is beryllium 10, found within the ice cores, which provides clear evidence that on three occasions over the past 100,000 years – around 60,000 years ago, 40,000 years ago and 17,000 years ago - there have been extremely intense periods of cosmic ray activity lasting up to 2,000 years at a time.<br><br>Although the cyclic nature of these spikes of activity indicate a connection with long-term solar cycles, other factors might have been behind the sudden increase in cosmic rays during Palaeolithic times, when our earliest ancestors made huge jumps in evolution that led eventually to the rise of civilization. Catastrophists propose that a close supernova explosion might have sent a barrage of cosmic particles in our direction, dramatically increasing cloud formation, thus preventing the sun from penetrating through the atmosphere and leading quickly to an ice age and mass extinctions on the ground. It is possible, therefore, that close supernovae might account for the high levels of beryllium found in the ice cores.<br><br>An altogether different scenario is that the true source of cosmic rays affecting the evolution of life are black holes or neutron stars, a theory first proposed in 1973 by world-renowned astronomer Carl Sagan. In the 1980s particle physicists in Europe and the USA unexpectedly detected the presence deep underground of incoming cosmic rays that had penetrated the solid rock to great depths, suggesting that they had come from an extremely powerful cosmic ray accelerator somewhere in deep space.<br><br>These unique cosmic rays were found to have been produced by a binary star system containing either a black hole or neutron star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. Known as Cygnus X-3, this astronomical source was classified as recently as 2000 as the galaxy’s first ‘blazar’, meaning that it produces jets of stellar material, mostly ionized gas, that direct cosmic particles towards the Earth at close to the speed of light, something it has been doing for anything up to 700,000 years.<br><br>The recorded bursts of cosmic radiation from deep space on at least three occasions in human history could suggest that Cygnus X-3 is the key to solving the mystery of the cosmic rays. Had the Palaeolithic cave artists and shamans responsible for the cave art at Lascaux, and other similar caves across Western Europe, become aware of incoming cosmic rays, which are unique in being able to penetrate deep underground? Did these cygnets, as Cygnus X-3’s strange particles became known, cause gene mutations, leading eventually to the development of a complex mindset, including symbolic art and the first organised societies towards the end of the last Ice Age?<br><br>Cygnus is the oldest known constellation represented in art, appearing as a bird on a pole in the famous cave of Lascaux in southern France, c.17,000 years ago. What is more, all around the world there was once a great reverence of this constellation, known also as the Northern Cross. From the bird effigy mounds of North America to the Olmec centres of Mexico, the Incan sacred city of Cuzco, the Egyptian Pyramids of Giza, the Hindu temples of India and Avebury, the largest stone circle in Europe - all reflect an age-old interest in Cygnus, which features also in religious symbolism and beliefs, at the heart of Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, as well as shamanic practices worldwide. All of this indicates that Cygnus X-3, as our galaxy’s sole blazar, is the best candidate by far for at least a percentage of the cosmic radiation that continues to reach Earth and may well have catalysed mutations leading in the past to sudden advances in human evolution.

<description><![CDATA[ Astronomy tries to come up those answers. Like some knowledge, Astronomy asks far more questions then it can answer. Nevertheless, that&#39;s part of what makes it so fascinating. Ever since the first individual wondered what was outside the nexthorizon, humans have been galling to enlarge their boundaries. Astronomy is carrying on that bright tradition. It&#39;s a artful bounteous horizon, and perhaps one that doesn&#39;t end? Who knows, exclusive astronomers of the coming module be healthy to respond that distrust.<br /><br />Astronomy Begins At Home<br /><br />We don&#39;t have to go that far with astronomy, to be extremely fascinated. Our own pleasant solarise has some attractive interesting gear ready on. Did you know, that the solarise moves at an esteem of 12 miles per jiffy. That&#39;s 720 miles per summarize, or 43,200 miles per hour. Good abstract it&#39;s got a bounteous gas tank huh? And it&#39;s affecting towards the plan Hercules. Better got discover of the way Herc! Another interesting astronomy delicacy here. I bet you intellection the solarise was most the hottest abstract around. Well, not even close. The shell of the solarise is hot, most 10,000 degreesfarenheit . Nevertheless, there is something here on connector that is 3 epoch hotter. Care to guess? Some people have even been touched by it, and lived to tell the feature. Lightening is 30,000 degreesfarenheit . Cool huh? One more startling solarise statement. There are 92 innate principle on earth. You advert that periodic table of elements from high school science, those elements. Well, two thirds of those elements have been identified in the sun. Not constant who checkered, but they are there. And, scientists consortium that the other third are most likely in the solarise as well. Hard to judge our bag concern comprehensive of water could be so strictly linked to that bounteous provoked ball of gas. Astronomy spins a beautiful fascinating tale.<br /><br />Future Worlds<br /><br />Like those adventurers who came before us and were worn to venture afar their horizon. I think that star gazers of today module be our eminent boundary busters. It may have been a while since people have walked on the moon. Nevertheless it&#39;s just a distrust of time. Human spirit justdoesn&#39;t allocate us to land for what we have. We&#39;re always looking afar. And astronomy structure that map, and trying to support decipher down those boundaries of today. It&#39;s not exclusive fascinating to picture where we module go next, but essential to our survival. We expenses the funds of this connector at an alarming velocity, and earlier before later stuff module run out. The planet module outlast of course, but we may not. It instance to venture out, and find another planet like earth. Not just for the sake of discovery, but because we ought to. Soon. Hopefully, we module succeed there smarter, and a lowercase more careful. In the mean time, astronomy is pavement the channel for ours and upcoming generations to follow.<br /><br />--<br />Lancers International School is one of the well known school which is Part of  <a href="http://www.internationalschoolindia.in">International Schools India</a> , <a href="http://www.internationalschoolindia.in/public-school-india.html">Public Schools India</a> and <a href="http://www.internationalschoolindia.in/secondary-school-india.html">Secondary Schools India</a>.<br>Click here to read more on <a href="http://article-guard.co.za"> secondary schools india </a><br><a href="http://worldofarticles.co.za"> secondary schools india </a><br><a href="http://getico.co.za"> secondary schools india </a>.<br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ <p>Where does one begin? At birth of course but the foundation of a new life begins in the parents much before the child is born. In biological terms there are genes that are the same and intellectually there are many similarities between the creative juices of parents and children. Finally it is the upbringing, exposure to relevant reality that actually gives shape to the person <br />In <a href="http://www.astrolife.com/">Indian Astrology</a>, the beginning or the birth is signified by the Ascendant but what is hidden - the nadir remains in the depth of the 4th house of the <a href="http://www.astrolife.com/horoscope/index.php ">Horoscope</a>.

The planet Venus has to do with vehicles and happiness while Moon has to do with emotions, mother, home & family.</p><br /><p>The horoscope has twelve houses and 7 planetary energies that are in control of them. The nodes Rahu & Ketu are shadowy planets and are not in power where Zodiac signs are concerned.</p><br /><p>The nine planetary energies are closely interconnected and there is hardly any area of life that can be really taken as completely free of all their effects. However when they are directly connected to the 4th house, their influence is quite prominent and makes the life of the person shapes the future and consents harmony or disharmonious life. I give below some examples. </p><br /><p><b>Effect of Sun</b> on the 4th house often shows gain through inheritance, landed property and intelligence. Low or weak Sun can mean dishonor at later stage in life and difficulty in domestic area.</p><br /><p><b>Effect of Moon</b> on the 4th house can mean a harmonious childhood, loving mother/parents and basically a good beginning in life. Gain is indicated and it can also show changeable residence. A low or challenged Moon can mean turbulent childhood, emotionally stressed life, unfavorable conditions in mother's life etc.</p><br /><p>The above are generally applicable to horoscopes of different Ascendants.

<title>What Is Esoteric Astrology ?  </title>

<description><![CDATA[ Esoteric astrology includes but goes beyond the astrology with which most of us are familiar. Whereas most widely practiced forms of astrology refer primarily to the personality levels of the psyche, esoteric astrology seeks to incorporate the personality within a broader contextual framework linking the personality with the soul. Esoteric astrology specifically addresses the substructures underlying one's belief systems, attitudes and life processes; it is thus more concerned with causes (energies and forces) than with effects (events).<br />Esoteric Astrology is astrology that focuses on the development of the Soul component in the human being. This can be seen as developing 'Soul Purpose', or becoming 'Soul Infused'. By this I mean allowing another, deeper energy to pervade our human awareness. The 'Soul Infused' human sees life from a perspective of soul orientation and is working from soul, instead of still being under the influence of the current collective unconscious. Many people are already doing this, but are not aware of it as Soul Influence! <br /><br />Perhaps this is rather a tricky concept to understand. It is not about feelings or emotions, but about a different way of thinking, acting and working in life. <br /> The Soul's Work<br />Anyway, for our purposes, the Sun represents the Personality that Soul needs to be developed, so the Soul's work can be done. The Moon represents the innate emotional state that a human is born with - the drives and awarenesses that we feel comfortable with and that we can get 'stuck' in, instead of developing the Personality/Sun traits. The Ascendant symbolises the goals inherent in the Soul's purpose - and the other planets and points all mean specific things with relation to soul use and development: for example, Uranus stands for the genius potential in the chart. <br /><br />Now in consultations, the esoteric astrologer would still look at the Sun, Moon and Ascendant to determine the basic principles, just as for the human who has not yet become soul-influenced. That is always our starting point. The chart works for them in the same way as it does for exoteric and humanistic astrology. It is only when the soul qualities are being felt in a client that there is a need to investigate what's happening in relation to transits and the concepts to do with Soul's purpose and development, as indicated in the chart.<br /><br />It is not an astrology that can be 'put' onto people who are not ready for it. There is usually a lot to be done in the humanistic realm to start with anyway - even if a client is feeling a strong calling that could be considered from the Soul arena.<br /><br />Soul working in a human being is when the human is becoming involved in mass/group stuff - but not for the sake of ego power/recognition. These are two different types of energy.<br /><br />So we are talking about a different consciousness with regard to the average human. An astrologer would have to question clients about their feelings and behaviours in life before they could realistically ascertain whether the soul element was starting to work.<br /> New Age Astrology<br />Esoteric Astrology is a very interesting study that is becoming more prevalent as the New Age enters our consciousness. Aquarius is very much about group awareness and connection through groups - and look at the internet with regard to world connection now! <br /><br />New Age Astrology is a title I have presently given to the course that I am developing and will be made available to those who want to learn it. This may seem a 'glib' title, but I believe it is to the point regarding the new age developments that are already happening to many people around us. This course will explain 'life' development from the perspective of astrology. It is not about learning astrology in the normal sense. It is a way of helping people in the area of their own personal growth, using astrology as the map, along with other skills that are useful to develop a more successful life.<br /><br /><br />--<br />Find <a href="http://www.indexastrology.com/astrology-articles/esoteric-astrology">esoteric astrology</a> and more useful information about astrology articles at this <a href="http://www.indexastrology.com">astrology directory</a>.<br /><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ When you receive the Seal you are not yet perfected.  You are "young" compared to the maturity that will perfect you as years pass.  Just like your own youth is the youth of galaxies astronomers have found recently.<br /><br /><br />When you are sealed God writes His Name upon you.  When you bear God's Name you anticipate years of growth to become worthy of God and show His glory to the world.  <br /><br /><br />Some of the glory of God is being shown to the world right now--glory that is from "out of this world."  And yet the glory of the observable Heavens can tell us much about the grandeur of God and His creation. <br /><br /><br />An international bunch of astronomers finished a project they planned for years.  They had the difficult task of securing the world's largest telescopes all night every night for almost 2 weeks. <br /><br /><br />And that is how long they looked at one small little section of night sky--92 hours in that one place.  This had the effect of letting a photograph expose for quite a long time.  They could see very faint objects from very far away.<br /><br /><br />These objects are thought to be "teenager" galaxies or "baby" galaxies.  They are considered proto-galaxies, the beginning of galaxies which will mature into the adult galaxies we know of today.  <br /><br /><br />Light seems to us to travel quickly.  But it takes a long time to travel the vast distances of the known universe.  The light caught in the eye of this study is reputedly 11 billion years old or more.  <br /><br /><br />That is a long time.  Longer than man can easily comprehend.  But it is an indication of the promise of eternity.  Forever is much longer than 11 billion years.  Forever is infinite.  <br /><br /><br />This light 11 billion years old is light from only 2 billion years after the supposed Big Bang, the theoretical even when the universe exploded into being.  Light this old is from when galaxies were still forming.  <br /><br /><br />This study is going to tell scientists a lot about how the universe formed.  This is good knowledge to have since it will help us understand God's creation of the universe, and knowledge of God's creation can only help people. <br /><br /><br />And scientists consider this finding to be "unprecedented" in magnitude.  Never before have astronomers been able to look back at the building blocks of galaxies, which requires considerable depth of observation.<br /><br /><br />The research is planned for publication in the March 2008 issue of the Astrophysical Journal, and will resolve some heated arguments scientists have had for 30 years about the origins of the universe.<br /><br /><br />But you know that the ultimate origin of everything is God.  He created the universe and the little world we now call home.  Looking far back in time is an awesome experience giving a sense of the scope of God's infinite nature.<br /><br /><br />And it is more than just an experience.  The more we understand about how God created the universe, the more we can use that knowledge to benefit us in the present day.  Science will solve a lot of problems.<br /><br /><br />Speaking of solutions, God wants you to solve a problem right now.  The problem is that you have not always been close to Him, and this is the generation of the devil.  But you can change all that today.<br /><br /><br />You can get closer to God today and experience some of the awe of His creation and His everlasting Presence.  You can win the victory over the devil and get closer to God by receiving the Seal.  <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />--<br />And now Jason would like to invite you to get your FREE report <a href="http://www.sealsecrets.com">Are You Making These Mistakes as a Christian?</a> and visit to learn about being sealed <a href="http://www.sealofthesoul.com">here</a><br />Jason Witt <br /><br /><br /><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Keywords are always a good thing when learning anything new or, in coming to understand or explain something you intuitively know. The 3rd house in Astrology has the phrase: I think - therefore I am. It's all about awareness, positive or negative thinking for this is the house of the conscious mind and you have a four minute window of opportunity (more about this concept later in another article). Planets or aspects to the 3rd bring all of the above (and more) into focus. For more details www.be-a-stargazer.com The sign on the cusp (or, more precisely the element of the sign) will give you an idea as to how think. For example a Fire sign on the cusp of the 3rd would 'think' differently than a Water sign. Also, the sign on the cusp will tell you how you 'hear' information from the world around you, from your environment.<br />	<br />This house also shows your relationship with siblings (not the actual people) but your relationship with them. Any planets here (particularly Saturn) offer information about whether brothers and sisters are close or at a distance. Short distance travel is also shown by this house (sometimes even the preference or mode of transport) for example: Fire signs prefer road travel. Earth signs prefer rail. Air signs obviously prefer (or fear) air travel and the Water signs have a preference for water journeys. Formal education (or the lack thereof) is shown here therefore questions of schooling (particularly primary) will come to the surface. Look to the sign on the cusp and any planets here to understand your early formative' years.<br /><br />How we think about ourselves and the world in which we live is constantly changing by the people we meet, the newspapers we read, the television programmes we watch (all of which is 'ruled' by the 3rd house). Keeping in mind that we are constantly creating an image of ourselves (good or bad) according to what we focus our mind upon. Even the people you meet at the bus stop can change your thinking dramatically or, when you're on a 'short trip' the stimulus from a different environment can alter your thinking as can reading a good or uplifting book (taking a short trip into your mind). Even an idea shared on a blog site such as Twitter can alter your thinking and who was it that said "change your thinking and you change your life"?<br /><br />Take a look at your own chart for even if there are no planets in the 3rd the sign on the cusp will nevertheless give you some idea as to all of the above (and more) if you look for the ruler of the cusp on your chart. For more details www.fire-itup.com Let me explain: If Virgo was the 'ruler' of your 3rd house you would look at your chart to see where Mercury (the ruler of Virgo) was placed. This will help you understand how you think, what you think about, and your relationship with the environment in which you live (remembering the mind is an 'environment').<br /><br />This is the house of the conscious mind and it is here that you look for or, examine all closely related factors in your life, look for connections. Explore your skills, your talents and your common sense (or lack thereof). The sign on the cusp or planets contained in this house will tell you how organized or disorganized you are. Or, if you take a closer look you'll discover ways (from the sign on the cusp or planets contained here) to become better organized. This is using Astrology for your empowerment for each and every new of us needs some sort of organization, structure or routine in our daily lives for remember this house rules the everyday, the local, the neighborhood, the people you meet on the street, in the shops and how you communicate with them. In talking about this keyword, how they (or how you perceive them to) communicate with you...<br /><br />When any planet transits this house and the Sun does so every year at the same time (roughly three months after your birthday) it's time to gather facts, to plan ahead and communicate your ideas to your best advantage. It's time to be flexible, to negotiate and discuss your ideas for the road ahead. The signs in order from Aries to Pisces can help you understand whether you are positive (assertive) or negative (passive) in your thinking. Aries is considered positive with Taurus negative, Gemini positive with Cancer negative and so on around the signs. This is not to say that they're positive or negative in the accepted sense but their style of thinking.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<br /><a href="http://www.art-of-astrology.com">www.art-of-astrology.com</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.be-a-stargazer.com">www.be-a-stargazer.com</a><br /><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>
