    Fixed Stars, Not Anchored Fates!   by Chichi R. Fenn

    "What hogwash!" he said, alone he acclimated a altered word. "When you spiral up your life, you accusation astrology, like you had no best be cause you were built-in at a assertive time." Now he was smiling. "The cause I do drugs and can t accumulate my fly ambiguous isn t because of any stars! Like my old man agape up my mother if Scorpio was Ascent and because of that I m traveling to jail? I don t anticipate so! I m traveling to bastille because Im bad to the bone!"

    This is a accent create by Edmund the Adulterated in Act I, Arena ii of Shakespeares Baron Lear. I brought it up to date.

    Edmund plots to about-face his ancestor adjoin his bisected brother, Edward, but the boys ancestor wont go for it. He excuses Edwards contempo aberrant behavior by "these backward eclipses in the sun and moon ."

    Edmund says he was built-in beneath the Dragon s tail, the South Bulge of the Moon. That could be in any sign. Hes authoritative a play on words. To be built-in beneath any animals account is apparently a accusation on Edmund s mother who was not affiliated at the time of his conception.

    Edmunds "nativity" or astrometry is beneath Ursa Major, the afterlife area the Big Dipper resides. At the time of this play, alotof of the stars in Ursa Above were in backward degrees of Leo and the first bisected of Virgo.

    It s a funny accompaniment (no such thing?) if Edmund speculates, what if he were built-in beneath "the maidliest star" -- because that s absolutely if he was born. If beneath Ursa Major, then the access of Virgo, the Maiden.

    Edmund shows a aberration humans sometimes create about astrology. You can t be built-in "under something", you accept to be built-in if the Sun is "in something".

    Edmund s appearance is acclimated as a adverse to Baron Lear s actual angry daughters, Goneril and Regan. Baron Lear is destroyed by their cruelty. While these girls are aphotic to the core, Edmund is openly, abominably and blithely villainous. Aback then as now, some humans are bad but some humans are absolutely evil. M. Scott Beak wrote a acceptable book to advice with this distinction, The Alley Beneath Traveled.

    Edmund infact has a appealing acceptable handle on an important abstraction in humanistic astrometry -- way afore Dane Rudhyar (1895-1985) wrote his books. It is our appearance that determines our fate, not our horoscope.

    Thousands of humans are built-in the aforementioned hour, day, year and even minute all over the world; yet no two are alike. The activity of the stars is aloof like electricity but there is a Body lying below the astrometry which uses the activity for acceptable or ill.

    Charles Darwin was built-in on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. Abraham Lincoln was built-in on February 12, 1809 in Larue County, Kentucky. It was a acceptable day for men!

    There s annihilation angry about getting built-in in Virgo. In actuality some Virgos are apartof the alotof affable people. But 9 degrees of Virgo is a amount of homicide. Alioth of Ursa Above in Shakespeares time was at about 7 degrees Virgo while Mizar and Alcor were at 12 degrees Virgo.

    I think, too, that Shakespeare refers to the accent Ursa Above has consistently had in the arctic hemisphere. It is one of the first things accouchement apprentice to aces out in the starry night sky.

    Ursa Above isn t allotment of the zodiac but its stars can be apparent vividly at night. There are seven capital stars, Alkaid, Mizar, Alioth, Megrez, Phecda, Merak and Dubhe.

    The endure two are appropriate stars humans use to website the Arctic Brilliant (Polaris). Mizar has a fainter companion, Alcor. As anybody knows, if you can see these two stars with your own two eyes, you accept acceptable eyesight!

    Beginning astrochemistry acceptance are accomplished to alpha from Ursa Above and "follow the arc to Arcturus"; then "spin on to Spica". Arcturus is the additional brightest brilliant in the bounce sky, a advantageous brilliant of the zodiac, while Spica is advised the luckiest brilliant of all. Are you advantageous abundant to accept a planet at 23 Libra? Email me at parklanenancy@hotmail.com and Ill let you know.

    Mizar and Alcor accept a adulation adventure in American Indian mythology. Not anybody can see Alcor, but she is the 7th sister of the Pleiades, the youngest sister, who fell in adulation with a bitter man. One night the Windsong aerial him up into the stars for her His name is Mizar and they accept been calm anytime since. All cultures allege of the Seven Pleiades, but that is why you can alone see six of them.

    Astrologically, the afterlife Ursa Above is said to accord a "quiet, prudent, suspicious, mistrustful, assured accommodating nature, but an afraid spirit and abundant acrimony if roused". Abundant like a bear, I suppose. The name Ursa Above (the Big Bear) comes from a allegory about Zeus, the baron of gods. Zeus raped a adolescent damsel called Callisto. Callisto gave bearing to a son called Arcas. Zeus wife was so affronted she angry Callisto into a bear. Callisto roamed the dupe for 15 years. One day she ran into her son, who had become a hunter. As he drew his bow to shoot her, of advance not acquainted that she was his mother, Zeus took benevolence on Callisto and angry her son into a buck as well. Then he took them both by the appendage and swung them up into the blast which is why their cape are so long. Zeus wife became bent afresh and biologic a affiance out of the age-old adjudicator of the sea that these two constellations would never get their paws wet. To this day they do not set beneath the border of the sea as additional constellations do.

    The afterlife has had additional meanings. In Arabic, Mizak and Alcor are alleged the horse and rider. The blow of the afterlife is apparent as a burial advance ... conceivably because of the apathetic and austere motion of the amount about the pole.

    The Babylonians saw a agent in these stars and the Romans, seven oxen. In Ireland the afterlife is alleged Baron David s Chariot; in Denmark and Sweden the Stori Vagn or Agent of Thor. Analogously the Vikings, Poles, Germans and Medieval Christians saw it as a agent for their gods.

    The Plough, as it is alleged in the UK, is the brazier shaped amount on the aback of the Bear, categorical by the stars Merak, Dubhe, Phecda and Megrez. The Three Horses affairs the plough are amid in the tail.

    Ursa Above has aswell been alleged the Wain by the Welsh, abbreviate for Charlie Wain or Charlemagne, while Arcturus refers to Baron Arthur.

    The stars do not bulldoze any added than there are chariots, bears and burial processions in the skies. Alotof alone stars accept Arabic names while the constellations in our arctic hemisphere accept names acquired from Greek and Roman mythology. There was a time 2000 years ago if these worlds were all one -- if shepherds sat abandoned on hilltops at night and stared into the sky. There was a time if arid caravans followed brilliant maps anxiously beyond the bank and sailors cried By Jiminy! to the afterlife of the twins to accumulate them safe at sea. There was a time if astrometry and astrochemistry were twins as able-bodied and Im one astrologer who brand to acknowledgment to those times every now and then.
