Venus in water..... Water energy is preceptive, it senses others on the most basic level so anyone with venus in a water sign will be very sensetive to the presence of their lover and that person's needs. So you can assume that they will be affectionate, thoughtful, and eager to provide whatever you require. However, it may be a mixed blessing. Read on!
Canser - These people are very sensitive and if they don't have a whole bunch of self esteem somewhere else in their personality's DNA then they might have an increadibly fragil heart. Take care to always speak kindly to them. They are very caring, and that's the trouble, they care too much about the thoughts and feelings of others. But they are also very nurturing people who will love taking care of another person. They want a sentimental romance with lots of affection.
Scorpio - When these people like someone they focus on them with an intensity that's hard to ignore. And there is something very subtly sensual about them. They can suggest physical affection just by looking at you. And it can really pull people in. All this attention can be extremely flattering... or scary. They might get the idea that you BELONG to them. And although they want to know every detail of you, they will often be hesitant to give away any secrets about themselves. These people definitly hold grudges and are not above manipulation if it helps them get what they want.
Pisces - These people come across as naturaly romantic at heart. They have a gentleness that may endear them to others. But you might get jealous when you see that their gentleness isn't just for you. It's something they like to share with everyone. They are attracted to people who seem like they need help. These people will love you for who you are on the inside without caring what you wear, how much money you make, or what other people think. However, be careful to make sure that these people are commited to having a reltionship with you and make sure you're not just their newest good will project. These people might be easy to catch but hard to hold on to.
Venus in fire.... The fire energy adds a lot of spirit to a person's love life. It can also make their approach to love seem relentless. But you'll notice these people also have a child like approach to love. What I mean is they have a simple joy that is unashamed and hard to contain. If these people are in love with you, they'll really light up when you're around!
Aries - These people love the chase and the challenge of winning love. The challenge is part of the turn on for them. And in their love lives they want to take charge. They like to keep things constantly moving and there is a fun and youthful energy to their expression of love.
Leo- For these peple love is a little bit of an ego trip. They love to feel special. And they never want your compliments to run out! These people can seem awfully proud and demanding. Because they are proud they may boast about their love lives and make it seem more than it is. They love to have admirers and will enjoy telling you about them, in an attempt to impress you. Its important to them to always be thought of as attractive. They also express their love with a child like enthusiasm and a lot of physical affection.
Sagittarius - Flirty and fun, but lovers of big and crazy ideas, these people aren't agressive lovers. They might even seem a little uncommited. What they're looking for is someone to share new experiences with, someone to go off discovering the world with. You have to have a love of life to get on with these people. They aren't very skilled at handeling other people's feelings so you have to be patient with them and understanding.
Next up... Venus and the Moon, they're more connected than you think!

Love and Earth
Venus in the earth signs.... this gene will indicate a person who requires a certain feeling of stability in their love life. It will also indicate a person who wants to " build" their relationship with another person, often this means that they have a strong desire to build a home or family. These people are often cautious about love and don't leap in blindly. They will appreciate other people who are direct, honest, and mature. They have no time for pretenders or people who dont know who they are yet! And they all seem to appreciate the nicer things in life, nice house, nice furniture, good food, quality AND quantity are important here. Read on for details!
Venus in Taurus - These people tend to like comfortable surroundings that appeal to the senses. They aren't thrilled by the thought of a fast paced life or a whirl wind romance. They want constance, permanance, safety, and comfort. They will be very loyal lovers. You'll never have to worry about them cheating but you may also have to convince them that they are valuable to you. They want to know that they bring something important to the relationship. And they will take promises and comitments very seriously. They are definitly the type who want to get married and build a sense of home or family with the person they love. You will have a good chance with these people if you are straitforward, open, and natural. Expect them to be stubborn but consistent.
Venus in Virgo - These people will show their devotion through their eagerness to help you all the time and their desire to remember all the details about you. But they are shy in love and might need to be extra extra sure that you like them before they speak up and say they like you. They will try to help you at every turn, maybe more than you will want. But at least you know that if you need a hero there is someone right there waiting to be that person for you. They will always try to improve the relationship so be prepared to talk it out.
Venus in Capricorn - They are very practicle and responcible people in love. They need to be able to predict where your relationship with them will go. They like to look sure of themselves and very confident but they may be very hesitant to get attached and have their feelings hurt. They are attracted to people who know what they want in life and a plan for getting there. They admire hard work and determination in others.

Your Personality Genes!
Excited to get started? I am. Ok, so your personality is made up of a LOT of differnet variables right? You can't just say " I'm a scorpio." and expect that to sum up your whole existance right? If someone tells you they are a scorpio or a taurus or whatever, they are really telling you what part of the sky the sun was in when they were born. Each person's peronality DNA can be draw out on a birth chart. Birth charts look a lot like pie charts and each slice of the pie is a zodiac sign. But in reality this pie chart isnt just a map of your personality it's also very literaly a map of the night sky when you were born. So the 12 zodiac signs that are in the 12 pie slices are the regions of space around the planet earth which you can assume is at the very center because that's the planet you were born on. ... I hope.
Now you can fill in these great maps with the exact location of every single star, planet, rock, dust particle, and piece of space junk but that dosen't mean that they'll all tell you something about who you are or what you need. So it's important to know what things on this map have meaning! There are actually SIX things on this map that will describe your personal traits. There are two objects on the map that will describe the challenges and opportunites of your life. And there are three objects on each of our maps which will tell us a little bit about how we will find our place in the bigger picture of society, world history, or something like that.
SIX Personality Genes:
1. Sun sign - this is the typical, cliche, I'm a scorpio sign. It's the sign that the sun was in when you were born. And just like somewhere out there in the twisted genes in your cells there is a little gene that has decided what color hair you have, this personality gene is a part of your ego. It's the person that other people think you are when you first meet them. But it's also the part of you that has been created by your environment. It's who you were told to be or expected to be. So you might call it the outer most part of your personality. It's the persona that you wear out all the time and maybe you like it or maybe you don't. But the odds are that it's not who you'd like to be in the future. Remember that there is and always has been a difference between who we think we are, who other people think we are, and what we are actually capable of being.
2. Rising sign - this isn't actually an object in the sky, it's more like a mathematic equation. But the important part is that this is the gene for our inner sense of self. Sometimes we haven't fully developed into it yet and it's the person we think we want to be someday. But I think that even if you don't know a person very well yet, knowing who they WANT to be is almost more informitive than knowing their past. Because you can't change the things that have already happened so mapping out a person's past has it's limits. But mapping a person's future? The possibilites are endless. In some ways a person's sun sign can feel like their past while the rising feels like their future. It isn't necesarilly that easy. But when a person reads the descriptions of their signs they may feel that way.
3. Moon sign - Your moon sign is where the moon was when you were born. It describes your sub concious self. And that's a little bit of a puzzle in it's self isn't it? Because how many people really know for sure who their sub concious self is anyway? It's the part of you that just reacts to things without thinking or worrying how others will react. And in many cases it will show us our insecurities. By that I mean it will show us the things that make us feel safe and the things that make us uncomfortable even if we don't know why.
4. Mercury sign - This is the sign Mercury was in when you were born. This gene will tell us what style of learning works best for you, how you like to receive information, how you like to convey information to other people, and the frequency that your brain works on during a normal day. When you look at another person's mercury sign you will have a better idea of how to tell them things in way they can understand and also a better idea of what they're trying to say too.
5. Venus sign - This is the sign Venus was in when you were born. It's going to tell you what type of things you like. This could be your favorite smells, favorite food, music style, or your sense of fashion and how you decorate. WHY? well because at the very heart of it this sign tells you what you want from the world and from others. It tells you a lot about what you're looking for. It's your sense of good taste in people, places, things, and ideas.
6. Mars sign - This is the sign that Mars was in when you were born. It's going to tell you about your physical energy level and the types of things that motivate you into action.
These six genes work togeather in a variety of ways so that no two combinations are alike. Here are a few examples of how they work togeather. If a person's sun sign is completely different than their rising sign then they might feel like they are being forced to be someone they don't want to be. Or they might just feel very confused about who they are and who they want to be. But if the two signs are signs that work well togeather then a person might feel like he is completely sure of himself and who he is and what he wants. For an idea of what signs work well togeather and which don't, remember when we talked about the elements! Some elements work so well togeather it's like they were made for eachother.
We are going to take a much closer look at all of these signs so don't worry, there is a lot more to come and more to explain! In the mean time, here is a link to a website which will allow you to find out what all of YOUR signs are! All you need to know is the day, month, year and place you were born. But if you want to know you're rising sign then you will have to know the time that you were born also. If you don't know the right time you can still find out all of your other signs but I'm sure you can imagine why it would be very important to know a person's rising sign too.

The Elements - Fire
Today's black friday, so a belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I
hope you spent the time appreciating what you have in your lives. It's
easy to get really caught up in your goals and the things you want for
the future without really taking time to like enjoy anything you have
NOW. So I hope everyone took a moment to appreciate those things
yesterday!
Now getting back to astrology... I'm sure many people are already aware that in western astrology there are four elements. Even if you didn't know that I'm sure you wouldn't have trouble guessing what they are. The elements are and how they affect the 12 zodiac signs could be called the basics of your personality's DNA. Fire is my favorite. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are considered to be the three signs " ruled" by fire. You will see that term in astrology books a lot but I don't really like it. Rather I would say that Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are the 3 expressions of fire. Fire is passionate. What is passion? On one occassion I was guest speaking at my former high school with a friend who I'd graduated with long ago. He was telling a class about what it was like to pursue art on a college level. As he spoke the gaze in his eyes traveled further and further away. He wasn't looking at the students, or over their heads, he wasn't even in the same room with them. The words he spoke came tumbling out smoother, stronger, as he described the mediums he used and the faces he drew. Public speaking had never been his element but at that moment it didn't matter because he had transcended us and left us all behind. Standing right beside him, I knew even I was gone in his mind and a wave of envy crashed over me. Because the passion for his craft was radiating from him, vibrating through every word. But I couldn't find that passion in myself and I couldn't be lost in the moment with him. I could only stand and watch like the rest of them. I suppose when put to defining it, passion is a love of something + a tremendous amount of energy seeking an outlet. In my friend's life the outlet is art, but it can be different things for different people. Passionate people are often a little unpredictable. We can understand this by saying that if their energy is similar to a fire then it's not as simple as an electric light simply being either "on" or " off", instead their intensity flickers and because of that they can be perceived as quick tempered or moody or a little unbalanced.
Now let's think of this as being a scale:
Aries - ----------------------- - - - - - - - - - Leo - - - - - - - - - - - - Sagittarius - - - - - - -
Aries : Intense energy has a more physical and aggressive feel
Leo: Intense energy has a more fun, theatrical feel, less aggressive, still in your face. Sagittarius: Intense energy that is less aggressive, less vocal,
more like a candle of inspiration, not a bonfire.
It's important to remember that EACH person is a COMBINATION of these 12 signs. No one is just one zodiac sign. This blog is covering the basics first. Because a human being's personality is made up of many traits, some they were born with and some they have learned through their life situations. So each zodiac signs should be viewed as just one gene in your personality's DNA.
Now astrology offers even more ways to understand the intensity levels of each of the fire signs. In astrology there are 3 " modes". They are called cardinal, fixed, and mutable.
Cardinal = energy that pushes outward towards others. Aries is the cardinal fire sign. It's energy is a bonfire that is always reaching outward to consume more, have more, and control more.
Fixed = energy that is consistent and this is important - anchored in it's self - Leo is the fixed fire sign. It's energy is a campfire and it's sense of self is strong. It's not as consuming but it will never let it's self be ignored.
Mutable = energy that can shift and change the most. It can change the most because it is the least intense. Sagittarius is the mutable fire sign. It's energy might be over looked because it adapts to situations instead of insisting that it's way is the only way.
I hope you've enjoyed this basic explanation of the fire element in astrology. My next post will reveal the air element and how it pairs with fire elements! This is all leading up to some great astrology for relationships so keep reading!

An Introduction to Astrology
When I was 13 I had a rather strange friend with a very different
background than mine. She wasn't my best friend but she was the type of
person you never forget. We were both about the same height and build
with long red hair. Kristin
was the type who leaped without looking and I was the type who never
leaped at all for fear of all the things I couldn't control. So here we
were, good twin and bad twin, sitting at a lunch table, our attention
riveted in an enormous purple book. It was her mother's, that she'd
brought into school that day. The pages were yellowed, the corners were
folded, and we turned each paper with care as they tried to escape the
binding. The book looked so mysterious and important to us that we took
it as seriously as if we were opening the tombs of pharaohs for the
first time. And in that book were descriptions of all the twelve zodiac
signs along with descriptions of the different planets and what they
mean in your chart. Kristin and I drew up charts for ourselves with her
mother's help. And this became an ongoing theme in our lives for many
years. Even when I thought I had exhausted my interest in astrology and
even though I hit dead ends and gave up sometimes, eventually I always
return to my original fascination with this ancient science.
I've heard astrology described as a pseudoscience. If you're not familiar with the term, it means a fake science! But chemistry is a very real science and all the ideas and innovations in chemistry can be credited to ancient people's fascination with the idea of alchemy. Ancient alchemists were obsessed with the idea that they could turn ordinary substances into gold. Their thinking was that all things in the world are made of the same little pieces, and if they could just rearrange those pieces then they could make anything into what they wanted it to be. That sounds a lot like wizards and magic but it is also the founding principle of chemistry. Every thing in the world IS made of the same elements. Rearranging them is far harder than ancient alchemists could've ever dreamed but the concept was still true. And I would like to suggest the same thing about astrology. I believe that the methods astrology uses are outdated and no one can dispute the fact that the stars HAVE changed since the ancient Babylonians were looking at them. However, I believe that the underlying principle to astrology is that the time and place of a person's birth is an indication of their personality, their relationships with other, and to a MUCH smaller extent, their destiny. I know a lot of people don't believe in destiny and I'm not out to prove that it exists. The truth is that when your life seems unremarkable you want to tell yourself that you were " born for greater things" but then when you feel like you're stuck in an awful pattern where bad things keep happening you tell yourself " I'm the master of my own destiny! I decide" Funny thing isn't it? People are rarely happy or satisfied, and when they do manage it, they don't like to stay that way for long.
So here's what this has to do with astrology the way I see it.... weather you believe you have an ultimate destiny or not, most of you will probably agree that your life has a pattern to it. The pattern may be subtle or it could be very obvious. These patterns probably happen because of the similarities in the decisions you've made over the course of your life. These similarities are a representation of your personality and where you are on your personal journey of emotional development. I'll talk more about all of these things later but for now I will wrap up the point. Astrology helps you understand your personality and your personality is what causes you to make similar decisions throughout your life, and so it can help you understand the destiny you are going to make for yourself, through your own actions.
