Astrology, Marriage and Compatibility
“Marriages are made in heaven”, is a well-known saying. So too can be said,”Divorces happen in hell”. The fabric of Indian society weaves
itself strongly around the well-established and time-tested institution of marriage built upon a well-thought of procedure and societal sanction. It is as rigorous as any ISO certification. “Once married, married for life”, is the slogan or motto of Indian society. It is very strongly believed and rightly so, that marriage between a man and a woman approved by law,is not just a civil and social contract between two people but is also a union of two different families and their harmonious relationship into the future.
The starting point before a boy’s family ’sees’ a girl of similar status for mutual agreeability to the marriage proposal is the involvement of an astrologer for judging the astrological ‘matching’ or compatibility of horoscopes. In the so-called ‘love marriages’, this aspect is of no significance andhence, only a suitable

The Characteristics of the Zodiac Sign of Capricorn
The tenth sign of the zodiac is Capricorn. Those born between the dates of December 23rd and January 20th have this as their sign. It is symbolized by the Goat due to the stubborn, somewhat isolated natures of the animal and the people associated with the sign. Famous people who have this sign include actors Jon Voight, Anthony Hopkins and Val Kilmer.
The Capricorn nature is persistent and goal oriented. They are ambitious and dedicated to success and they will achieve it, although it usually requires overcoming quite a bit of difficulties. Their patience and perseverance is unrivaled by any other sign in the zodiac. They pick their path carefully, with seriousness of purpose and much consideration. Conservativeness exists in all aspects of their life: work, home, speech, dress, relationships. Organizational skills and a love of structure suits this person well for an occupation in business or government. They take their work seriously and care about how they are perceived. They seek out power but not the lights of center stage. Confident, they can nonetheless stumble over the roadblocks of rigidity and a deep fear of change.
With all of this seriousness, it can be hard for the Goat to warm up to others. They can, and are a great friend when they do so, but it takes awhile. They tend to be loyal and very reliable. The hard demeanor they project hides their truly sensitive and shy nature. Intimacy is not an area that is familiar to them. And the unfamiliar leaves the Capricorn feeling uncomfortable. If you know a Capricorn, do not throw them a surprise party. They will be more startled than excited. Give them an organizer or date book instead.
In a romantic relationship, Capricorns remain somewhat of a loner even after they have been over by a partner patient enough to get through all of the walls. They keep a part of themselves hidden away for safe keeping at all times. They are romantic but don’t know how- or won’t allow them to- surrender to that side of their nature. They like stability and take promises seriously. Early marriage is rare under this sign and usually done because of some sort of childhood neglect. Most Goats take a long time to make a commitment. Their sexual sides are strong but they distrust that passion and may have problems expressing it in conjunction with emotions.
The Capricorn likes to be the dominant person in a relationship. If they are hurt, they hold on to a grudge. They may also have problems showing how they are feeling. Often they seek out a partner who has the ability to draw their passionate side out from all of those reservations. They are capable of being incredibly loyal, loving and devoted- they just don’t really know how to go about it. A patient, engaging partner can often pull the Goat off the side of their isolated mountain so that they can roam around in the field with others.

Taurus – The Bull: Know Your Basic Personality
Pure Taureans tend to be earthy – ’slow but steady and sure’. The bullishness can under extreme pressure be expressed in violent outbursts of rage and anger. Material things are of immense importance to the typical Taurean. With all this practicality, there is a minor streak of imagination and artistry in many of the Taureans. You often get interested in music, painting and sculpture.
Sexuality and Emotions:
Taureans value their personal possessions a lot, whether it relates to the materialistic things or their partners. Jealousy is one of the incessant characters of a Taurean. According to them, a rival is not just a rival, but a thief who is trying to steal their possession. But the positive side of a Taurean is that he/she cares for his/her partner a lot. Thus, the partner of a Taurean is cared for with devoted constancy.
General Character:
‘Phlegmatic’ is a word which the old astrologers often use to describe a Taurean. Hence, a sordid practicality and a certain amount of earthiness is a notable trait amongst the Taureans. In adulthood, the Taurean’s goal is security, comfort and lack of anxiety. Worries repel the Taureans as they hate to be anxious about any thing on earth. They are known to be very good acquaintances and friends. The Taureans patience, their determination and their rage often lead to their frequent outbursts.
Life Style:
As individuals, Taureans are very determined in their decisions. Never do they get distracted from their goals and decisions which have already been taken. Steady and functional life style is what they ultimately want. Unnecessary risk taking or doing speculative things is not their type. In fact they hardly bother if their life style seems boring to others as long as they enjoy the way they are living.
Careers / Professions:
The Taureans excel in those careers or jobs where they feel the sense of need and security. A slow but a steady job, with a guaranteed promotion and a good retirement life complemented with a handsome pension, is the ideal kind of job for the Taureans. So they are never good in freelance journalism or selling insurance on a daily commission basis. Rather they are good in accounting jobs or anything involving money, provided no risk taking is concerned. Taureans will gladly work overtime and stretch their duty or working hours, provided the job gives them satisfaction. Working in places where they can enjoy good vocational holidays is something, which attracts them very much. Stability in jobs and careers are their prime concern. In short, Taureans are very sensitive and egoistic about their careers. They are also gifted with melodious voice.
Best Career Options:
1. Government services.
2. Jobs related to accounting and finances.
3. Lawyers and public speakers.
4. Singers and musicians.
5. Counselors.
6. School teachers and college professors.
7. Receptionist or front office executive.

Love Astrology – When Will You Find Love? The Most Important Aspects To Look For
Timing is everything. Astrology holds the key to timing.
Love and astrology has it’s own special timing, and there are indications within your progressed chart that will help you hone into those special years when someone new will be coming into your life or it’s an indication of a marriage year.
First you have to have your natal chart in order to compare your progressed chart to it. There are three progressed charts to work with. There’s your forwarded directed chart, converse directed chart, and your solar arc progressed chart.
When you get your progressed charts, you can begin to compare them to your natal chart (a three wheel chart is recommended). Each planet progresses at a different rate, and when one of your love planets progresses to make an aspect to one of your natal – or another progressed – love planet you have a love year, bringing you either a new love relationship or possibly a marriage year !
Aspects that are formed by the progressed planet to the natal planet are the strongest, but you will also see them making aspects to the other progressed planets. I’ve seen love connections when converse to converse were seen, and progressed to converse, but most importantly progressed to natal. In many cases you’ll find up to 3 of these indicators from all or any of these combinations.
Here’s a list of what to look for, the first planet in is the progressed planet, the other planets can be natal or progressed. And numero uno love planet is Venus of course!
Venus – Sun, Moon, Mars, Ascendant, Descendant,
MC, IC, Chiron, Jupiter, and any planet in your 7th house or
your 7th house ruler.
Mars – Sun, Venus, Angles, 7th house planets and rulers.
Sun – Venus, Moon, Mars, Angles (especially the Descendant)
and Chiron.
Moon – Venus, Sun, Mars, 7th house planet or ruler.
Progressed Ascendant/Descendant – Venus, Moon, Sun, Jupiter,
7th house planets and rulers.
Progressed MC/IC Angle – Venus, Moon, Mars, 7th house planet
Or 7th house ruler.
The aspects seen most frequently are conjunction, trine, and the sextile. However, squares and oppositions are noted as well.
The most frequently seen aspects for love in astrology are between these planets in order:
Venus/Mars
Sun/Venus
Sun/Mars
Sun/Moon
Moon/Venus and Moon/Mars
Any of the love planets to the Angles and 7th house ruler
And one more to look at is your Arabic Part of Marriage and love planets making an aspect to this point.
When you are comparing your progressed love planets to
natal/ progressed planets, look for an orb within 1 degree.
Look for Venus to work her magic from the time the aspect is exact to 1 degree after. Mars works a bit faster, look for an orb 1 degree before to exact. All the others are in the works anytime the orb is within one degree – before or after.
To fine tune the timing of when a new love or a marriage will take place look to the transits that set off the progressions.
If you are already in a love relationship and you are looking for a marriage year this works too!
That gives you an overview of love – astrology style.

Characteristics of the Zodiac Sign of Scorpio
The eighth sign in the zodiac is Scorpio. Those born between the dates of October 23rd and November 22nd have this as their sun sign. It is symbolized by the Scorpion.
Scorpios are emotional and sensitive but capable of keeping these aspects of their personality under tight control. When emotions do break through their facade, they come out in a violent burst often marred by vindictiveness. They are passionate and intense creatures- never doing anything halfway and putting everything they have into any project. Becoming a workaholic is a danger most Scorpios face.
Scorpios can be controlled by their jealousy and hold on to a grudge. They are apt to act out in revenge. The Scorpion will dominate any situation they are in. It isn’t all bad, though. This passion can come in handy sometimes. There are very few “middle ground” types in this sign- you either love them or hate them.
Along with all of this intensity, there is a great deal of secrecy-especially that surrounding their personality. They don’t share what they are feeling and can hide their true personality so well you never see it. They are critical, demanding and forceful. Scorpios can make a tough decision quick and correctly. When they square off against an opponent, they are excellent at seeing through to the heart of the other person’s motives. They do make emotional connections with people, but it is rare and there is usually a lack of trust.
A Scorpio’s home is their castle and things are to be done their way. They take the relationships they are in seriously, since all of that passion is put behind them, and are very attracted to other people. But in the end the Scorpio works better alone. Any attempts to dominate them will be thwarted and usually repaid in kind.
In a romantic relationship, a Scorpio dives in with such passion that it can create possessiveness over their partner. They want a transformative experience out of the relationship, which is obviously hard to live up to. Their need for control, and great deals of pride, can strain a relationship. They often put their partner up to “tests” of trust and love. Their partner needs to fight back or risk losing the Scorpio’s attention- but must let the Scorpion win the battle. As bad as all of that can sound, they do have a deep understanding of their partner. If a relationship matters to them, it matters every hour of the day. Their intensity can be rivaled by none. Their partner will often be transformed by a relationship with the Scorpio.
There are a lot of sharp qualities about this sign (thus being represented by the clawed Scorpion) but some of their aspects are unfairly judged. Passion, decisiveness and deep involvement are things that sound good on paper. Sure, the Scorpio is prone to take these things to excess and pull themselves- and anyone around them- into a dark place. But when they step into the light, it is one of the most brilliant lights you could ever see.

The Characteristics of the Zodiac Sign of Virgo
The sixth sign in the zodiac is Virgo. Those born between the dates of August 23rd and September 22nd have this as their sun sign. It is symbolized by the Virgin due to the somewhat puritanical nature of those born during this period. Famous Virgos include singer LeAnn Rimes and actors Cameron Diaz, Ryan Phillippe, Hugh Grant and Tommy Lee Jones.
The Virgo mind is thoughtful and orderly. They tend to be conscientious, organized and hardworking. Discriminating and methodical they do nearly everything well. They are analytical, exacting, practical and grounded. Their attention to detail can carry over into a critical demeanor. It can be hard for them to achieve a larger project due to their getting hung up on the small details. They seek out perfection in themselves and those around them which obviously creates many opportunities for disappointment. At least you can be assured that they will be as hard on themselves as they are on you.
The Virgo prefers to be in the background and is fairly unassuming. They can also be puritanical. Knowledge is acquired with a seriousness of purpose. In order to see the whole picture, they must first understand all of its parts. Because of that, they have a tendency to generalize.
There is a sense of balance both of mind and body. A Virgo will take care of their health and are usually neurotically neat. Their tendency to worry can cause health problems that stem from stress.
Virgos are much attuned to the needs of their relationship partners. They don’t rush into love and approach the matter with thought and patience. Emotions and physicality aren’t enough for this person. They must connect mentally with their partner in order for the union to stick. Instruction manuals were designed with Virgos in mind and their lack of directions in how to create and maintain a love affair can perplex them. They can see the whole thing as being a bit insane. They are not gambling types, either. It can cause them to shut out those that they are attracted to since they distrust the uncontrollable and unexplained.
Realistic Virgos choose the safe path- the traditional, the understandable. That isn’t to say they can’t have humor or fun. They just might need to be encouraged into it. They want to be happy and have a good time, but they’re afraid of the costs. For this reason they often choose a partner to whom frivolity comes easy, hoping that the partner will be able to lead them onto that path. But the Virgo can tire of that sort of behavior and start imposing their more mature views onto their partner.
Relationships are hard for the Virgo even though they can be kind, gentle, helpful and clever to their partners. They tend to compartmentalize things according to how useful they are and the light hearted things, and sometimes even meaningful matters of the heart, tend not to be considered useful. But they can learn new tricks and break away from this behavior. It just isn’t something that comes naturally or easily.

Gemini
Know any Twins. Then imagine they’re one person and you’ll have an idea of what makes up the personality of a person born under the sign of Gemini (May 22 – June 21). Geminis can be contradictory, people with dualities to their nature that can perplex their friends, families and lovers. They love versatility and change, but can be flighty and mutable to create interest in their lives. They don’t like routine. Decisionmaking can be difficult for them and they can often change their minds http://www.eziness.info
In the Zodiac Great Year, the Age of Gemini occurred from about 6450-4300 BCE. It was a time when writing and accounting systems were developed and humans were beginning to trade with one another.
Geminis are kind, affectionate and generous, so long as this doesn’t impact their own lives and comfort systems too much. They have a strong intellect and love mental challenges. They catch on to new ideas quickly. They have an analytical side and can see both sides to an issue.
If you’re a Gemini, you have some interesting company in your birth sign. Some of the famous Geminis include President John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, Henry Kissinger, Joe Namath and Paul McCartney. Many members of royal families were born under the sign of Gemini, too. Queen Victoria, King George V and Prince William, all of England, were or are Geminis.
Boredom is a big issue for Geminis and they can get into trouble looking for some excitement. But they’re very creative and active and should have outlets for all this energy like artistic projects or exercise or vigorous sports like racquetball. Because they’re always looking for new and interesting experiences, they can tend to overindulge in food or drink or night life and club-hopping. Geminis need to remember to pace themselves or they could risk burning themselves out too early in life.

The Basic of Astrology
What is a Natal Chart?
If you look at the words ‘natal chart’ you could read them another way ‘birth map’ – this may help you understand what is being talked about. Basically, the natal chart is a map of the sky including the positions of the planets for the time that you were born. Where you are born has an impact on what is seen in the sky, e.g., if two people were born on the same day and at the same time but in a different city and country, what is seen overhead would be different. This would mean that their natal charts showing planetary placements would be different from each other.
So, the first step in using astrology is to draw a map of the sky for the moment a person is born. This map includes all the planets, plus a few other points of interest such as the horizon and the middle of the sky directly over the birthplace. The time of birth is important for detailed work because it affects the position of the various parts of the chart, in particular the zodiac sign on the eastern horizon (this gives the Rising Sign/Ascendant) and position of the point over the birthplace (this gives the position of the Mid heaven).
If the time of birth is unknown it can be worked out through major life events by an experienced astrologer who specializes in this branch of astrology: this is known as rectification. To do this you would need to give the astrologer as many major life events as possible such as: marriage; birth of children; major moves; divorce; death; new business ventures or jobs; and/or any other significant changes to your life.
Another way of finding out what time you were born is to contact the hospital you were born in. In the majority of cases they have this information recorded on the mother’s file. I know this is the case in Australia but I’m not sure about other countries but it is still worth a try!
Natal Chart Interpretations
Once the natal chart has been prepared, the positions of the planets in different zodiac signs (ie, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc) can be ‘interpreted’. This is an area that people interested in astrology usually become a little skeptical about the validity of astrology because the interpretations can vary greatly from one astrologer to another. One way to understand these differences in interpretation is to understand that the planets and other points in the natal chart are used as symbols: as such, they have quite a broad ability to represent different qualities depending on the age, sex, marital status, belief system, etc of the person whose natal chart is being interpreted.
Interpretation is also affected by the particular areas of interest of the individual astrologer. For example, some of the areas of specialization include psychological, past-life, medical, child-based, and the list goes on!
The type of information gained from the natal chart includes understanding the early home life, relationship with parents and how these affect adult relationships. There are many others areas that can be looked at in quite a comprehensive way such as how you are perceived by the people around you, emotional needs, how you express love and affection, etc.
The information found in the natal chart can also provide an insight into what talents a person may possess that have not yet been realized or used to full potential.
Natal charts offer the benefit of self-understanding which may give a person a whole new perception of themselves, direction in life and open up possibilities for new directions in life; both in the physical and psychological sense.
