“
Two thousand years ago the night sky looked completely different, and so when you get right down to it, the Greek conceptions of star signs as related to birth dates are grossly inaccurate for today's day and age. It's called the Line of Procession: back then the sun didn't set in Taurus, but in Gemini. A September 24 birthday didn't mean you were a Libra, but a Virgo. And there was a thirteenth zodiac constellation, Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer, which rose between Sagittarius and Scorpio for only four days.
The reason it's all off kilter? The earth's axis wobbles. Life isn't nearly as stable as we want it to be.

Perfect! You guys are the same age. I bet you have a lot in common.”
Classic adult logic. Reid and I are vaguely the same age, so of course we’re basically soul mates. It’s like horoscopes.

I mean, I barely have anything in common with Cassie, and we were born six minutes apart.

Maximoff gesticulates from his chest to Sulli, speaking extremely fucking empathetically to his cousin.
I skim him, a smile playing at my lips, and I take a swig of coffee. “He’s about to hug her.” On cue, Maximoff wraps his arms around his cousin, and she squeezes him back.
Akara bounces his ball. “She’ll buy a Sagittarius something for me. Wait for it…” We watch Sulli scan the shelves and then veer to a display of zodiac jewelry. She plucks a silver Sagittarius keychain off a hook.

Astronomers who were recently sifting through thousands of signals from Sagittarius B2, a big dust cloud at the center of our galaxy, found a substance there called ethyl formate, which is the chemical responsible for the flavor of raspberries, and the smell of rum, the drink popular with pirates. Therefore, our galaxy tastes a bit of raspberries and smells of rum, which is nice.

I am a child of the Milky Way. The night is my mother. I am made of the dust of stars. Every atom in my body was forged in a star. When the universe exploded into being, already the bird longed for the wood and the fish for the pool. When the first galaxies fell into luminous clumps, already matter was struggling toward consciousness. The star clouds of Sagittarius are a burning bush. If there is a voice in Sagittarius, I’d be a fool not to listen. If God’s voice in the night is a scrawny cry, then I’ll prick up my ears. If night’s faint lights fail to knock me off my feet, then I’ll sit back on a dark hillside and wait and watch. A hint here and a trait there. Listening and watching. Waiting, always waiting, for the tingle in the spine.

What was glimpsed in Aquarius—what was envisioned, believed in, prophesied, predicted, doubted, and forewarned—is made, in Pisces, manifest. Those solitary visions that, but a month ago, belonged only to the dreamer, will now acquire the form and substance of the real. We were of our own making, and we shall be our own end.
And after Pisces? Out of the womb, the bloody birth. We do not follow: we cannot cross from last to first. Aries will not admit a collective point of view, and Taurus will not relinquish the subjective. Gemini's code is an exclusive one. Cancer seeks a source, Leo, a purpose, and Virgo, a design; but these are projects undertaken singly. Only in the zodiac's second act will we begin to show ourselves: in Libra, as a notion, in Scorpio, as a quality, and in Sagittarius, as a voice. In Capricorn we will gain memory, and in Aquarius, vision; it is only in Pisces, the last and oldest of the zodiacal signs, that we acquire a kind of selfhood, something whole. But the doubled fish of Pisces, that mirrored womb of self and self-awareness, is an ourobouros of mind—both the will of fate, and the fated will—and the house of self-undoing is a prison built by prisoners, airless, door-less, and mortared from within.
These alterations come upon us irrevocably, as the hands of the clock-face come upon the hour.

TIME TO SACRIFICE TAURUS
This is the night of union when the stars
scatter their rice over us. The sky is
excited! Venus cannot stop singing the little songs she's making up, like birds
in the first warm spring weather. The North Star can't quit looking over at Leo.
Pisces is stirring milky dust from the ocean floor. Jupiter rides his horse near
Saturn, "Old man, jump up behind me! The juice is coming back! Think of something
happy to shout as we go. "Mars washes his bloody sword, puts it up, and begins
building things. The Aquarian water jar fills, and the Virgin pours it generously.
The Pleiades and Libra and Aries have no
trembling in them anymore. Scorpio walks
out looking for a lover, and so does
Sagittarius! This is not crooked walking
like the Crab. This is a holiday we've been waiting for. It is finally time to
sacrifice Taurus and learn how the sky is a lens to look through. Listen to what's
inside what I say. Shams will appear at dawn; then even night will change from
its beloved animated darkness to a day
within this ordinary sweet daylight.

At the center of our own Milky Way lies a monster black hole whose mass is two to four million times that of our sun. It is located in the constellation Sagittarius.

But if the dust clouds were to part, then every night, a magnificent, blazing fireball of stars, with the black hole at its center, would light up the night sky, perhaps outshining the moon.

An amorous night is to approach a state of perfection that only two lovers can reach; you see this requires--no it demands, implores the deepest reverence, trust, insatiable desire, and mad lust for her. To worship her by abolishing the weakness of fear, the fear of betrayal, infidelity, the lack of reciprocation and bequeathing the body and soul to her, to worship her, to yearn and gain her unfettered permission to her body and soul, to accept the primal desires the animal needs that dwell inside, yet to have passion, tender love-making and violent sex all in the same night, as one--approaching this perfection is approaching heaven on earth.

Sankranti is the Sanskrit word in Hindu astrology which refers to the transmigration of the Sun from one Rashi—or sign of the zodiac—to another. Hence, there are twelve such Sankrantis in all. However, the Sankranti festival usually refers to Makar Sankranti or the transition of the Sun from Dhanu Rashi, or Sagittarius, to Makar Rashi, or Capricorn.’ ‘The winter solstice marks the beginning of the gradual increase in the length of days. Scientifically, the shortest day of the year is around the twenty-first or twenty-second day of December, after which the days begin to get longer and the winter solstice begins. Hence, the Uttarayana, northern movement of the Sun, is actually 21 December, which was originally the day of Makar Sankranti too. But because of the Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees and sliding of equinoxes, Ayanamsa, longitudinal change, occurs. This has caused Makar Sankranti to slide further down the ages. A thousand years ago, Makar Sankranti was on 31 December and is now on 14 January. Five thousand years later, it shall be by the end of February, while in 9,000 years it shall come in June.

Dinner with Trimalchio as explained on Angelfire.com
Fragment 35
The next course is not as grand as Encolpius expects but it is novel. Trimalchio has a course made that represent the 12 signs of the Zodiac, again showing his superstitious nature. Over each sign of the zodiac is food that is connected with the subject of the sign of the zodiac.
Ares the ram - chickpeas (the ram is a sign of virility and chickpeas represent the penis in satire)
Taurus the bull - a beefsteak . Beef is from cattle and the bull represents strength.
Gemini (The heavenly twins) - Testicles and kidneys (since they come in pairs!)
Cancer the Crab- a garland (which looks like pincers) but we also learn later (fragment 39 ) that the is Trimalchios sign and by putting a garland over his sign he is honouring it.
Leo the Lion - an African fig since lions were from Africa.
Virgo the Virgin - a young sows udder , symbol of innocence.
Libra the scales - A pair of balance pans with a different dessert in each!
Scorpio - a sea scorpion
Sagittarius the archer - a sea bream with eyespots, you need a good eye to practise archery.
Capricorn- a lobster
Aquarius the water carrier - a goose i.e. water fowl.
Pisces the fish - two mullets (fish!)
In the middle of the dish is a piece of grass and on the grass a honey comb. We are told by Trimalchio himself that this represents mother earth (fragment 39) who is round like a grassy knoll or an egg and has good things inside her like a honey comb.

From space the little world looked like nothing much - perhaps a pitted and decaying pumpkin, dull orange-black in color, with a handful of tiny orbiting craft floating around it like fruit flies. Here and there amber lights shone out of craters in the surface. What seemed to be scores of deformed silver minnows nibbling the pumpkin rind - together with numbers of smaller noshmates - were actually huge transactinide carriers and lesser starships, either taking on fuel or docked nose-to-ground while their crews rested and recreated inside the not so heavenly body.

In your eternal quest for experience and knowledge, you pursue a multitude of interests and you set ambitious, wide-ranging goals for yourself. You want to see the world and understand it, which is why your sign rules travel, philosophy, religion, law, and abstractions of all kinds. Sagittarius is freethinking, casual, open-minded, and optimistic. You connect easily with all kinds of people and are said to be lucky. The truth is that your spontaneous decisions and out-there gambles occasionally pay off, but what benefits you the most is your fearless attitude. Sure, troubles may come. No one is immune to that. But ultimately, buoyed by your curiosity and belief in the future, you bounce back. You look at it this way: What other choice is there?

As the symbol for this sign suggests, Libras are all about balance, and need it more in their lives than any other sign. They like to find that balance between work, social, recreational and family lives and are quite capable of doing so. Eventually, that is. Because they need to take their time to come to the right decision, Libras can seem wishy washy to those around them. In the end, however, whatever choice they make is almost always a win/win for everyone involved. Libras are air elementals ruled by Venus. They are diplomatic, gracious, cooperative, social and most of all, fair-minded. They like harmony, sharing, the outdoors and are generally very gentle. This sign finds happiness when others are happy, and when the world around them is balanced and harmonious. They are charming, and that charm is what draws people to them. They enjoy just about any form of meditation, because it helps them find balance on the inside that they so desperately need. On the upside, Libras are fair and just. They become upset if this is not the case. They like to discuss their favorite topics at great length, and the decisions a Libra make will benefit the greatest number of people. They are self-sacrificing for the greater good of their family or teammates. On the downside, because they take so long to make a decision, it may appear to others that they are lazy or absent-minded. Libras don’t like to be in charge, but they will make it a point to be heard. If they perceive a situation to be unfair or unjust, they will become argumentative. This sign is most compatible with Gemini, Sagittarius, Leo and Aquarius. Gemini: In this relationship, the

See how the polestar is ogling Leo;

Jupiter has galloped his steed against ancient Saturn, saying
"Take back your youth and go, bring good tidings!"
Mars' hand, which was full of blood from the handle of his
sword, has become as life-giving as the sun, the exalted in works.
Since Aquarius has come full of that water of life, the dry
cluster of Virgo is raining pearls from him.
The Pleiades full of goodness fears not Libra and being
broken; how should Aries flee away in fright from its mother?
When from the moon the arrow of a glance struck the heart

These Things I've Done (Part 1)
I have emptied the cup that overflowes,
From the garden clipped the finest rose...
Interrupted the poet with my praise,
Smothered butterflies -
Then pinned them in collector's trays...
Made the silent initiate shout in frustration,
Brought a child to tears with my intonation...
These Things I've Done (Part ll)
I have drunk the last of the rationed water;
And struck the last match to light a cigar;
Thrown the baby out with the bath;
And didn't bother to check my math...
I didn't look - I just leapt,
And just like Sagittarius -
Aiming right, looking left -
Gazed at stars, at the mercy of puddles:
Deep in quicksand, I struggled...
These Things I've Done (Part lll)
I've accepted the fact that einmal ist keinmal,
And disregarded the family motto:
Did the things that one ought not to:
Again, once more, y a infinito...
"Yes, I've done these things," said I.
"Well - you should be an addict - why! -
"At the very least, dead!
"None should bear those things you carry..." or,
So the doctor said.

Sagittarius: With this sign, you’ll find a great exercise and sports-minded partner. They will enjoy many of the same activities, and this pair will form a healthy sense of competition. This can turn into an aggressive and physical competition, but only if the two of you allow it to go that direction. This also affects the sex life of the pair, where things will be “hot and heavy” more often than not, due to the amount of pent-up, competitive energies.

Kismet was the first scientist to shine a clearer light on the Star Bond we know the least about.

Arm in arm, we trailed off through the dripping grass. We were tired and silent. One of us would frame a thought, a phrase, a comment, and the other would grunt, nod, or laugh. Not what is said enriches the heart. A phrase may remain embedded in the mind like a dagger or diamond; but memory is a subtler synthesis - a tone of voice, a turn of the head, a pause, a blade of grass that the feet brush aside, a glance, the first lark arising, stillness, some aspect of the skies . . . This is the argosy of friends.

And hosts of other memories would have followed, crowding: a thousand skyscapes, day and night, the gay or sombre garments of the blue; the way the earth looked, falling; the wonder at first coming out above the clouds; the rush of engines starting; swallowing to stop deafness in a dive; the scream of wires; shadows of clouds on hills; rain, sweeping like veils over the sea, far off; sunlight; stars between wings; friends, close in formation, swaying, hand on throttle, as they rode ten feet away a mile above the earth. And many others: grass blown down when engines were run up; the smell of dope, and castor oil, and varnish in new cockpits; moonlight shining on struts; sunset clouds, gold-braided; the gasp before the dive; machine-guns; chasing wild duck; the feel of bumps, and all the mastery over movement, pride in skill.

The white floor, several thousand feet below, rose up towards me, turned at last from a pavement of pearl to just a plain bank of fog. I plunged into it. I might be going back from paradise to purgatory, so grey and cold and comfortless it was. And as I sand through it, listening to the singing of the wires, I was thinking how some day men might no longer hug the earth, but dwell in heaven, draw power and sustenance from the skies, whirl at their will among the stars, and only seek the ground as men go down to the dark mysteries of the sea-floor, glad to return, sun-worshipers, up to the stainless heaven.

There are fortunate men to whom life is a continuous developing pattern, whose education leads them on to a career that carries them, almost in spite of themselves, to a place in the world from which, as their powers desert them, they withdraw to ease and seclusion, and whose final demise is as quiet and completing as the full stop at the end of a long and well-constructed sentence. None of these lives has been mine.

Unlocking the Universe: The Best Online Astrology Course with Certificate
The Best Online Astrology Course with Certificate - Astrology is a belief system that looks at the connections between things that happen on Earth and celestial bodies like planets and stars. It has been practiced in different ways for thousands of years and is a topic that many people find fascinating and interesting.
Here is a General Summary of What is Known About Astrology:
Astrological Signs:
According to astrology, the zodiac is divided into 12 signs, each of which is linked to particular personality traits and physical qualities. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are among these signs.
The location of the Sun at the time of your birth determines your astrological sign, which is also known as your "Sun sign."
Natal Chart:
A natal chart, sometimes referred to as a birth chart or horoscope, is a diagram that shows the positions of the celestial bodies during a person's birth.
It is used to shed light on a person's personality, strengths, and life path and involves the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and other celestial points.
Planetary Influences:
According to astrology, several planets are connected to various facets of life and personality traits.
Mars is associated with energy and aggressiveness, Venus with love and relationships, and Mercury with intellect and communication.
Astrological Houses:
The 12 houses that make up the natal chart each symbolize a distinct aspect of life (such as a person's work, relationships, or home).
The placement of the planets in the houses might reveal the direction of certain influences or energy in a person's life.
Aspects:
Aspects are the angular connections between the natal chart's heavenly bodies.
Planets that are close together, opposite each other, or at an angle of 120 degrees are known as conjunctions, oppositions, and trines, respectively.
Astrologers analyze these aspects in order to comprehend how the planets relate to one another and affect a person's life.
Transits and Progressions:
Studying the motion of the planets in relation to a person's natal chart is another aspect of astrology.
Transits are the heavenly bodies' current positions and how they affect people's lives at specific times.
Progressions are symbolic changes to the natal chart that signify personal progress and development.
Astrology's Purpose:
Astrology is frequently employed to aid in self-discovery, personal development, and life-insight.
For advice on important life decisions, such as careers and romantic relationships, some people turn to astrologers.
The scientific community does not recognise it as a science, and there is no evidence to support its assertions.
Variations:
Astrology has many subfields, such as natal astrology, horary astrology (which provides particular answers), and electional astrology (which chooses favorable periods for events).
Criticism and Skepticism:
Astrology's assertions are not backed up by actual research, according to its detractors.
Astrology is frequently regarded by skeptics as pseudoscience since it has no scientific basis.
Popularity:
Astrology continues to be widely accepted and popular across many cultures in spite of skepticism.
It's important to approach astrology with an open mind, realizing that it is largely a belief system and a tool for self-reflection and discovery rather than a scientific science.
Astrology is used by people for a variety of purposes, including for personal insight, amusement, and a sense of connection to the cosmos.

Sun Sign: Sagittarius Sagittarians are the explorers of the zodiac. Wild and adventurous—and sometimes curious to a fault—they are on a perpetual quest to discover not only the world around them, but the world within them, too. They have an insatiable appetite for knowledge and truth and can be relentless in their pursuit to get what they want. They know that while external knowledge is easy to come by and useful to an extent, self-knowledge holds more value and more power in the long run. It’s no surprise that Silas uses photography to capture the world around him, and to hold on to memories in a more tangible way. One of the Fire Signs, Sagittarians burn bright and are up for anything, wanting

to live life to the fullest, and will never turn down a chance to have fun. They are lovers of spontaneity and excitement to the point of recklessness and hate the idea of settling down to a predictable life. As a result, they don’t fall in love easily but badly want someone willing to go on their journey with them. This could not be more evident than in Silas’s relationship with Charlie. While he’s loved her since he could walk, when they lose their memories, it forces them to go on a different kind of journey together. Sagittarians are the supreme realists of the zodiac, and will always choose their values over their feelings, yet will often form opinions based on their fierce emotions. At their best, Sagittarians are courageous and honest, and are the most loyal friends. They’re the life of the party, and endless fun to be around. They are one of the most generous signs in the zodiac, and their boundless optimism is infectious. At their worst, Sagittarians can be erratic and unfocused, never finishing what they start. Intense and energetic, Sagittarians speak their mind, and their brutal honesty can get them into trouble. They rebel against authority and won’t be told what to do, and their natural confidence can be taken as arrogance. Silas is a true Sagittarius in every way, and he never fails to fight for Charlie.

Once a physician knew the time of his patient’s birth he knew where to start, by computing the position of the heavenly bodies at birth and at the onset of the ailment. He might have with him, slung from his belt (pockets hadn’t yet been invented), a neat little ready reckoner of folded parchment, correlating the position of the sun and moon at the onset of the illness with the planet governing the part of the body affected. A headache should be referred to Aries. Taurus governed the neck, Gemini the chest, Cancer the lungs, Leo the stomach, Virgo the abdomen, Libra the lower abdomen, Scorpio the penis and testicles, Sagittarius the thighs, Capricorn the knees, Aquarius the calves and Pisces the ankles. The colour of the patient’s urine could also be relevant – any physician worth his salt would carry a shade card to match against the patient’s sample. Thus armed, the physician could make his diagnosis and advise on treatment, including the best day for blood-letting.

You were born from a winking star," he begins. "You're a goddess of devotion and neon light. You see beauty in passion and tragedy, but you romanticize them to a fault. You can't get enough of blueberry lemonade and vanilla gelato--so much that you don't care if either stains your dress or your tongue. You fall asleep to records, and your favorite constellation is Sagittarius. You've made a skateboard into a weapon."
He grins to himself. "You're afraid of the dark, but not afraid of your superiors. You play arcade hostess to mortals who can't see you. You have beautiful, fidgety hands covered in fishnet. You talk too much, but when you're silent, the world becomes a desolate place. Your greatest wish isn't to be loved--it's to give love."
He bows his head, clasps his hands. "You've put up with a stubborn archer. You've put him in his place. You've given him solace. You've given him a home. You've given him back his heart. And all he wants is to deserve you.

The Things I've Done
(Woody Johnson)
"These things I've done," said I to him,
In his office that day, by way of confession:
"I have emptied the cup that overflows,
"From the garden I clipped the finest rose...
"Interrupted the poet with my praise,
"Smothered butterflies -
"Then pinned them in collectors' trays...
"Made the silent initiate shout in frustration,
"Brought a child to tears with my intonation..."
"I have drunk the last of the rationed water;
"Struck the last match to light my cigar, sir;
"Thrown the baby out with the bath;
"And never bothered to check my math...
"I did not look - I just leapt,
"And just like Sagittarius -
"I aimed right while looking left,
"Resulting in disatrous."
"I've accepted the fact that einmal ist keinmal,
"And disregarded the family motto:
"Did the things that one ought not to:
"Again, once more, y a infinito...
"Yes, I've done these things," said I.
And he replied:
"Well - you should be an addict - why! -
"At the very least, in jail - or dead, sir!
"None should have borne such ills you've bred!"
Yes - that is what the doctor said.

The Hub, a cluster of bubbles in a web of metal, hung in empty space, in that region known to Earthmen as Hither Sagittarius. The owner was Pan Pascoglu, a man short, dark and energetic, almost bald, with restless brown eyes and a thick mustache. A man of ambition, Pascoglu hoped to develop the Hub into a fashionable resort, a glamor-island among the stars — something more than a mere stopover depot and junction point. Working to this end, he added two dozen bright new bubbles — “cottages”, as he called them — around the outer meshes of the Hub, which already resembled the model of an extremely complex molecule.

Stars of Fire by Stewart Stafford
At the Gate of Pleiades,
Lies the playground of the Deities,
At The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic,
The Gods' plot and remain cryptic.
Between the claws of Scorpio and Cancer,
At the mercy of the great Zodiacal dancer.
The dilemma on the horns of Aries,
Brushes asides all adversaries.
Venus trails stardust from her hair,
As a supernova across the galaxy flares,
A shooting star is the spear of Orion,
More is the mane of Leo the lion.
Man's Gemini may someday show before us,
As chaste Virgo or the mighty Taurus,
Or be inanimate as the scales of Libra,
Or spread as Cancer or an unchecked fever.
Perhaps these pilgrims have visited us before,
When Sagittarius took the form of the wise Centaur,
Or when Pisces flopped in an Aquarian boat,
Or on a lazy hill to the Capricorn goat.

The third chakra is in our area of the stomach, and is called the Nabhi. This chakra represents satisfaction, equilibrium, morality, generosity and evolving ability. The ruling planet is Jupiter-just like the Sagittarius sign. Jupiter has an aristocratic, generous, helpful and virtuous nature. This brings wealth and it improves all-good as well as evil. It is good luck planet. That planet governs our financial wealth. Our third chakra gives us both spiritual and material well-being. A good nabhi chakra makes us feel satisfied with what we have, and when necessary, helps us be very generous. The third chakra is like a two door house. Wealth enters through one door and spreads out from the other, thus the cycle continues. The universal energy gives us everything we need and we are not asking for more. Jupiter represents an imbalanced and unsure personality when it works poorly. The individual in his thoughts may engage in fanaticism and bigotry, to the point of tyranny. Before thought, he could incur debt and borrow. Such an energy would make a person look for luxury too. Jupiter governs justice, honesty, philosophy and religion. By birth it can make a human being moral, virtuous and honest. These qualities too are represented by our nabhi chakra. As this chakra develops, we manifest greater sense of justice and higher human virtues. They are looking for spiritual evolution, and ways of becoming better people.

The astrological signs are divided into four elements: water, earth, air, and fire. the weather complement one another, interfere with one another, fight, or get together. Hence there's what we call love compatibility between the signs.
And what signs belong to every element? Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are fabricated from water; Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, of the earth; Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, of the air; and Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, fire.

Some signs are more compatible than others. The compatibility of the zodiac signs depends on many factors, not exclusively the sign to which you belong, but it can function as a guide. generally, these are the foremost compatible signs.
ARIES: the most effective compatibility of Aries is with the hearth signs. With Sagittarius and with Leo. Also with Scorpio and Libra. because of their character and their way of being.
