If you know your time of birth you can calculate your chart on this site and see what signs form your cross or angles. If you want to figure your angles based on your Sun sign, read on. The angles of the chart are the ascendant (our physical being and our attitude), descendant (relationships), Midheaven (career) and IC (short for midnight sky and associated with home and family) these form the cross for our lives. In terms of sun sign astrology and horoscopes, the angles are formed in the natural zodiac. When you look at the list of signsAries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Piscescount your own sign as the ascendant, skip two and count the next sign as your IC, skip another two and call this one the descendant, skip another two and you arrive at the Midheaven, which marks the height the Sun climbed on the day you were born.
The Mars Rx cycle began on November 15, 2007 and took place in Cancer; the last one in Cancer took place Nov 92-Feb 93, Mars stays retrograde for 76 days, stationing direct in Gemini January 30, 2008.
From August 2007 to May 2008, Mars will be in these two signs; his norm through a sign is 6 weeks.
Note Mars normally travels through two signs in about 12 weeks, approx. three months.
In Gemini (August 7 - September 28, 2007 and December 31, 2007 - March 4, 2008
116 days or approx. 16 weeks
In Cancer September 28, 2007 - December 31, 2007 and March 4 2008 - May 9, 2008
160 days or approx. 23 weeks, almost six months
Mars retrograde November 15, 2007 - January 30, 2008 76 days
Mars also ventures beyond the boundaries of the Sun in the first week of October 2007 and stays out there until late March 2008. The technical term is out-of-bounds. This means that Mars feels that he is no longer accountable to the Sun—the controller, and is free to behave as he pleases! Let the games begin! We may not get the results we strive for but it won't be for the want of going all out. Just 'DO IT' becomes a motto. Some of us will do so with abandon, throwing caution to the wind. Our actions may become somewhat exaggerated. What do you mean, "I can't do itjust watch me!" Because the energy is in such 'overkill' mode, it might be good to take note and perhaps prevent some of those pulled muscles or arguments that go too far. I plan to stock up on Beptobismal (pink liquid for an uspet stomach) and other similar products, and ensure I have headache pills on hand. I also plan to stay extremely calm in traffic, and let those with road rage overtake me.

Venus will change phase from Morning to Evening Star at the same degree as the 2004 Occultation in Gemini. We had elections in Canada with that, this could herald another one!

Writing a book is always a work of love. Writing about the planet of love, Venus, is doubly so. As the author I love how the book looks and as a highly critical person I am pleasantly surprised that I still love the content. Yes, I would love to be able to add new thoughts to it, but I guess I would buy this book had I not written it. All the comments on the site about the book are unedited. For the non-astrologers I have posted the Venus tables so that you can look up your Venus sign, it may not be the same as your Sun sign. (Look up your Venus sign. )
The nodal axis shows where the eclipses will occur and has the role of showing us where we need to be headed. You will find that most astrologers use the words Dharma and Karma to illustrate the basic meaning of each end of this axis. I often see luck and obstacles also assigned to this pair. The Nodes are always an axis of two opposing signs and until mid-2009 the pair will be in Aquarius and Leo. Oppositions are closely linked to relationships, two polarized views and to the concept of compromise. The eclipses last a moment, but two areas in our charts will be illuminated by this axis for another year.
I like to refer to these as the needle of the compass; we each have a pair in our natal charts. As with the compass the one pointing to North shows us the direction in which we ought to be headed; we can stay focused on one guiding direction and find our way home. Our natal charts are a snapshot of the heavens at our birth, but the motion of the planets does not stop. The nodes are reflective of the path of the Sun, which astrologically represents our ego, our identity and show us how we need to be or become in order to live to our full potential. The Sun is a rational and logical facet of our identity. The other part of the nodes is linked to the Moon, which astrologically speaking, represents our instinctive reactions, emotions, memories and our innate habits. From this perspective, the North Node is linked to the Sun and the South Node to the Moon. Karma, which means action (reaction) of the South Node, simply shows us that if we keep on doing what we have always done we cannot move forward. Life hands us issues whether we are prepared for them or not, and we cannot solve problems by using the same approach we did in order to create the issues in the first place.
At age 18.5, 37, 55.5 and 74 the nodes in transit (planets in the ever-changing sky) return to the same position as they were at birth. These are the years when we re-evaluate our direction in life. As we begin our adult lives around our 18th birthday, we need to decide what we are going to do with our lives. At 37, the question is am I still headed in the right direction. At 55.5, we are reviewing what we have done thus far and wondering if we are personally, feeling fulfilled with our efforts as we are in our elder years period. What do we need to give back, what have learned that we could share with our community?
At age 9, 27.7, 46.5, and 64.7 we have the transit North Node on our natal South Node. The order is reversed. These are like the mid-terms of the previous set, we can quite clearly see what we have done so far, and this helps us reconnect with our direction. We can never go back, so regrets are wasted; we can only return to a changed set of circumstances. These tend to be turning point years, naturally there are other planetary configurations helping nudge us toward the right direction.
