PISCES (born between: 12 March – 18 April)

The Sun is now in your sign Pisces and your energy is phenomenal! As a matter of fact there seems to be no stopping you, just be careful you don’t explode with all the solar activity going on in your sign, especially in the latter part of the month. Your stamina and optimism is vast and your power of intellect is high, but it is important that you do everything you can to ground yourself and avoid over doing things.

Because the sky has changed since the epoch that Tropical Astrology was founded (about 2000 years ago). Now we need a new Astrological theory, that in co-operation with Astronomy will explain in a scientific way how this discipline will work in the future. It will explain as well the meanings of the the New 13 Zodiac Signs. This New theory is 13 Zodiac Astrology. It is founded in the book “"Astrology of the 13 Signs of the Zodiac" by Vasilis Kanatas” . Now, everyone can implement 13 Zodiac Astrology, building Birth Horoscopes, by following the instructions of the New Theory (see 13 Zodiac Astrology Software). 13 Zodiac Astrology Web-Seminars will start in a few months for the people that demand a deeper knowledge on the subjuct.

Our true Zodiac Signs have changed because of the precession of the equinoxes, that is, the movement of the point of intersection of the celestial equator by the ecliptic by 50.2” (seconds of a degree) each year.
Thus the orbit of the Sun in the sky, as seen from the Earth, has changed. Now the Sun passes through 13 Zodiac Signs: Pisces – Aries – Taurus – Gemini – Cancer – Leo – Virgo – Libra – Scorpio – Ophiuchus – Sagittarius – Capricorn – Aquarius.

The old 12 Signs system does not work anymore. It has become a Monolithic religion. Tropical Astrologers follow the steps of Ptolemy and other Ancient Astrologers. But the worst for them is that they still see the sky as it was 2000 years ago. They tell you what your sign was 2000 years ago! They have their own Almancs to turn the sky back in 100 A.C.!!

With the new theory, in a few cases, about 10% of the total population has retained their old Tropical Sign. But the massive majority of 90% has changed. This is a scientific fact. Click HERE to find your true Zodiac Sign.

Happy Full Moon!

This Full Moon is happening in the constellation of Leo. Check your sky map apps! Leo Full Moons are some of the most royal of them all! In ancient Egypt, it is Sekhmet, the Lioness that is the keeper of the flame! Sekhmet is the goddess of war and healing. Her name comes from the ancient Egyptian word Sekhem, which means power. She was widely known as “The One Who is Powerful” and “The One Before Whom Evil Trembles” Sekhmet is depicted as a fierce warrior goddess with the head of a lion wearing all red 

Many have tried to explain the motion of the celestial dome to people who have small background in astronomy, and most often the student stays the same ignorant as before!

So let us begin from the beginning! As the Earth is spherical, the same is valid for the sky around the Earth, and this is a matter of perspective!

Let us take as an assumption to make things easier. Let's say that the Earth is not spinning around itself within 24 hours, but remains stationary with the Sun over our heads! Let's say it does only make the annual motion around the Sun in 365 days. What we see then is that the Sun is moving slowly, at a rate of 1 degree per day to the East !!

So if we are in N. Hemisphere and look to the south the Sun moves slowly to the left!

As we have said many times with arguments based on the science of astronomy, the zodiac Signs are now 13 after the insertion of Ophiuchus between Scorpio and Sagittarius, on the ecliptic. Where ecliptic is called the apparent path of the Sun in the sky.
The ancient Greeks who founded Horoscopic Astrology had much less knowledge of the sky and the planets than we have today. For example, in the time of Claudius Ptolemy they believed that the Sun was turning around the Earth. 12 Zodiac Astrology was born in the Hellenistic era and was a child of Astronomy of the 2nd century BC

Today we  know from Astronomy that ..

(Article by Anna Dimou, Psychologist)

By looking at the archetypes of a myth, one may be able to interpret aspects of the world that surrounds us. Mythology is a useful tool we can employ to identify features and aspects of the human soul.
In Greek mythology, Chiron was the wisest of the Centaurs (creations that were half Men and half horses) and could be considered as the 'wounded healer'. His pupil, Achilles, during a battle...

, accidentally hit him with an arrow that was soaked in the blood of the Hydra. Chiron being immortal lived on wounded by with pain. In an effort to find his own cure, he learned to help and ease the suffering of others. This discovery, ie the teaching of others how to treat themselves, was a mean to relieve his eternal pain.
Everyone of us at some point of our lives will inevitably pass by tests. We may experience physical pain, illness, mental confusion, trauma or even perhaps confronted with existential angst. All these difficulties are likely to teach us to sympathize in sorrow and pain of our fellow men.
Carl Jung believed that the disease of the soul could be the best form of training for a therapist. The pains and difficulties one carries and finally overcomes, are the source of a greater wisdom and healing power.
The 'Wounded Healer' understands how the patient feels because he has gone through the same pain. Furthermore, the healer through his experience is capable to feel, by placing himself in place of the other and not only just to be compassionate. The patient from the other side, perceives this action even on a subconscious level. Because of this experience the substance of the relationship is transformed. From 'expert', the therapist becomes the companion* with his patient, thus opening a spiritual path that connects them.

Finally, the patient suffering and cared by the therapist simultaneously contributes to the healing of the healer. The interaction can play a key role in the treatment of both.
In conclusion, the myth of Chiron teaches us that we are able to overcome the pain by converting it to power and knowledge. Through such an experience everyone can become a 'Wounded Healer'.

"Man needs difficulties. They are vital for his health." Carl Jung (1875-1961, Swiss psychologist)

Sun in Capricorn. Image by Star Walk App

After a journey that lasted about 31 days the Sun transits to Capricorn on Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 12:40 UTC. After traveling in the constellation for about 27 days, on February 16 at 23:10 UTC the Sun will enter to Aquarius.
These days you will be strongly affected by the idealistic and eccentric nature of Capricorn sign by often changing mood and showing an unusual dedication to your goals. The organizational skills will give its place to the unexpected. Cold blood in front of unpredictable situations will guide you this time of the year. Mercury retrograde ends on January 25 and the planet will return in Capricorn on February 13 giving a touch of mental alertness ..

History

Ophiucus lies between the constellations of Hercules and Scorpio, and the head of Serpens as far as its tale. Its southern part lies within the galactic plane.

According to mythology, Ophiucus is identified with Asclepius, the renowned physician of antiquity. The close association between Asclepius and the snake is due to the fact that snakes represented wisdom, rejuvenation, and the power of the discovery of new healing herbs.

Asclepius was educated and received instruction from his father Apollo and the centaur Chiron; he was the first doctor and served in the Argonaut campaign in this capacity. When he returned from the journey he was even considered capable of raising the dead.

Tonight, 16 February 2016, takes place the transit of the Sun in Aquarius where it will remain for about 24 days. Then it passes in Pisces on March 12, 2016 at 00:50. As we have explained here in this web site the dates that the Sun transits to the Zodiac Signs have changed and a 13th sign has been inserted in the Sun's path in the Sky: Ophiuchus. The Zodiac sign of the 90% of the world's population has changed, which becomes gradually known and widly accepted by more people.
On the other side many people associate the sign change with character change which is totally wrong. People do not change. Only the way astrology is practiced and continiusly evolving changes after it approximates more closely to the scientific data.
