Feliz Dia de San Valentin!

Happy Valentine people! First of all before I start, I want to say that I just saw today with my hubby, the play "Arabian Nights" at the Arena stage theater. If you live in the DC area, please go see this play, it was amazing! It will be on stage until Feb. 20.

Red, red wine! ah me the cynical writing about love. Let's blog about the distances between signs. Again, please  get your birth chart if you can afford it. It can give you grea insight about your life. There are several online great websites that offer it for approximately $24.00.

The distance between signs is called "aspect". Aspects create relationships that can be in harmony or challenging. The more challenging our relationships are the more we can develop. people come along for a reason, a season or a lifetime!

Conjuct = (sigh) Dating same sign. Boring, except Aquarius. You are basically dating your twin. Nothing much to add here. the energy is self-acceptance.

Semisextile = One sign apart. Energy is friction. Example Sagittarius: dating a Scorpio or Capricorn. Completely different styles. There is an interesting myth that some astrologers believe and is that  each sign is an evolved version of the one before it. I kind of love this myth. that would mean that I am an evolved Sagittarius. And the sign after you is the teacher. this combination could end in hard breakups and sexual tension that can last a lifetime. You can learn from each other differences and grow through challenges.

Sextile = 2 signs apart. Energy is friendship. Best friends with benefits. romance that forms from friendship. Example. Aries: Gemini & Leo.

Square = 3 signs apart. Energy: tension, war. Example: Cancer: Aries & Libra. Lots of compromise & conflict resolution.

Trine! (4 signs apart)= HARMONY, PERFECT MATCHES. Home sweeet home. Water with water signs, Earth with Earth, Air with Air, Fire with Fire. Example: Leo with Aries or Sagittarius. You dont have to constantly explain yourself.

Quincunx: 5 signs apart. Energy is Karma and mutation. Example a Pisces with Leo or Libra. the odd couple. Fascinating to see. You always wonder how these people are together. Like a Scorpio and Aries. The relationship is intense. You have to adapt to each other or else it would not work. Lots of compromise and understanding. You basically have to adjust to someone who is vastly different than you. Some astrologist would say, meeting your soulmate.

Oppostie: 6 signs apart. example: Cancer and capricorn. Aries & Libra. Gemini & Sagittarius. Is directly across from your sign in the wheel. highly compatible. It all makes sense. Enlightment. Join forces and create something bigger than life.

AH, hasta la vista. Time to go to bed. This is probably rubbish to you but I love it.

Love,

Age of Aquarius

Super Bowl Sunday! Yeah whatever. My house will be a beer tub tonight. It is February after all, therefore, I need to talk about our Aquarians. Aquarius, Aquarius. Thinking about all my friends, not one of them is Aquarius. I am not surprised. As a Capricorn, I find unsettling the experimental, anything goes style of an Aquarius. Wait, I do know one Aquarius, through Matt and she is a female.

Aquarius is the most unpredictable sign of the zodiac. The REBEL of the zodiac. You need an open mind when interacting with an Aquarius. They have their own rules and regulations and absolutely hate to being told what to do. Like we talk in our previous blog, this is a fixed air sign. Meaning they are very firm on their opinions. Very idealistic. They need to be in relationships were they feel their mate is the best friend. Is easy for an Aquarius to remain friends with an ex because they are not an intense emotionally sign. More comfortable with  ideas than emotions. They are not jealous or possessive by nature, like those Scorpions. Friendly and gregarious and have some eccentric friends. Aquarians need so much independence that it could cost them some relationships. My ex hairstylist in DC was aquarius. Even though I think he is a genius with color, he was all over the place. Nothing shocks them! And if it does, it will spark his interest.

I want to go in deeper and talk about Aquarius man, for my Gemini single girlfriends. Monicaaaaaaaaaa, the guy needs to be born between January 20-February 18. You can spot him easily. He is the life of the party, calling everybody by their names. Sporty style. Cannot stay still, maximum A.D.D. Needs a partner who can hold her own. Basically, a woman who doesn’t need a man to be happy but of course who loves men. He seems very warmth on the outside, his personality. They do have a warm heart. But oh boy, he is ready to implode in the inside.

They have millions of friends. It is really easy for them to make friendships. Good with groups of people but one-on-one in relationships is tough. The notion of intimacy freaks them out. I think the best partner for an Aquarius is an Aquarius. If you love a life of adventure, this is your guy. Their type of girl is ideliastic, open-minded, forward thinker, a nomad. A girl with a defined identity. It doesn’t matter if you are a punk-rocker or a religious ardent girl. Make sure you know yourself inside out.  If you are successful in what you do it will be a huge turn-on for an Aquarius man. It seems they are attracted to shocking people. So if you have a few scandals under your belt, the more attractive he will find you. Lol. It sounds nuts but it is true. Have separate interests, prioritize fun and adventure. Turn offs: to be too realist, cynical. Tell him how to run his life. Have no direction in life. Laugh at him. I can keep going on for eve. But will stop. If you meet a nice, friendly Aquarius and want to know more, call me! Famous Aquarius: Paris Hilton (lol), Jennifer Aniston, Shakira, Yoko Ono, Sarah Palin, Ashton Kutcher, Peter Gabriel, Christian Bale, Justin Timberlake.
 Best matches: Aquarius, Gemini, Aries, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces. Run for the Hills, Cancer, Virgo, Taurus, Scorpio.

Stay tuned for Valentine’s Day blog…..

Signs Elements & "Quality"

Hello my friends. Tonight I want to talk about our elements and signs “quality”. All the zodiac signs are set into 4 elements. These are Air, Fire, Earth, & Water. Each of these elements has very distinct characteristics. Air & Fire are masculine and Earth & Water feminine.  Let’s start talking about Air signs, which are Aquarius, Gemini & Libra. The most intellectual signs, they are connected by mental functions. They are great at communicating but they are also a bit detached & aloof. Independent, creative, unconventional. Listen girls, if you need lots of space in a relationship, you should seek guys under these Air signs. They can and like to be in “open relationships”. I know a few Geminis that can handle it. Ok maybe just one. Fire signs are very passionate and dynamic. These individuals cannot stay still. They are always doing something. They are adventurous, ambitious, very outspoken, and very dramatic. Always in constant change and evolution.  These are Sagittarius, Leo, Aries. Water signs, here we go. Caring companions and very intuitive. Very girlie and can be very “catty”. They can have borderline-psychic intuition. Very intense feelings. Family is very important and very domestic. Lots of emotions. These are Cancer, Pisces & Scorpio. And Finally Earth signs: Capricorn, Taurus & Virgo. Practical, Practical. Loyal & stable. Change is not the strong suit for earth signs.  Lots of substance and style. (lol) Some can be a bit snobby. Very realistic. Need to have a schedule.

Let’s talk a little bit about signs quality. The three qualities are: Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed. Cardinal signs are the “enterprise”, “idea people”.  These signs also start every season. They are Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn. They tend to direct their energy outward. Good leaders, forceful & dynamic. But sometimes they can be controlling, inconsiderate and demanding. Mutable signs are connected to adaptability. These signs end the seasons. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Very flexible and comfortable with change. Love conversation and adventure. And last is the Fixed signs. They symbolize stability and determination. They fall in the middle of the seasons. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. The role of the Fixed signs is to maintain, uphold and defend positions, responsibilities, goals or desires in everyday situations. These signs are the least welcoming of change. You can never control or change the mind of a fixed sign.

Well, I hope I didn’t confuse you more. Hasta la proxima!

"New Horoscope" "Ophiuchus"

This is very confusing. Basically what has been presented is a new sign called Ophiuchus (man holding serpent) . Ophi is actually a constellation and it has been around for a while. The zodiac that we follow was created by the Babylonians, 2,000 years ago. It is important to know the difference between the Zodiac and the constellations related to them. The days that each zodiac sign fall under and the constellation differ slightly because of the "precession of equinoxes". .  This precession  it refers to the gradual shift in the orientation of the earth's axis of rotation. Basically the Sun, the Moon and other planets can cause a small move to the earth's axis. Gravitational forces. According to the constellation boundaries established in 1930 by the International Astronomical Union, the "ecliptic" passes through a thirteenth constellation situated between Scorpio & Sagittarius. Ecliptic has to do with the Moon eclipse. This is quiet fascinating but complex. The 13th constellation is Ophi and is not recognized as part of the Zodiac but it is in the Sidereal Astrology followed by the east, mainly Japanese culture and hindu culture. The babylonians had no idea about this precession of axis back then. For example, our Zodiac starts with Aries, and the sun is in Aries from 21 March until 19 April, in the Sidereal zodiac Aries is 14 April to 14 May and in the constellation the sun is in Aries from 19 April to 14 May. I did my best, this is complicated. Lets stay with what our Babylonians created, it works perfectly and I think is most accurate. I mean I think you are the perfect example of a Sagittarius woman. positive traits: Boundless optimism, open to spiritual ideas, always sees the best in people, inquiring mind, humanitarian. Negative: Self-indulgent, quick to judge, blunt, impatient, manipulative, procrastinator because of poor planning, refuses to acknowledge any negative feeling. Match in heaven for you: Aries & Leo, believe it. Avoid Taurus & Cancers. Sag & Virgos are an erotic timebomb waiting to happen. Where the problem can arise is in the Virgo's perfectionism and the Sag  sloppy approach.

Aries Man vs. Cancer Woman

Hello my friends. Let's talk about a bit about Aries men. I have a girlfriend who is very interested in dating one. But o-oh, she is a Cancer! Let me start talking about those cancers. Cancer is cardinal water sign. The crabs can be very emotional and perceptive. Is the MOST sensitive sign! They love making people happy, and  are amazing, loyal friends. A bit smothering and need stability and security in love. Very traditional and family oriented. People can find this individuals a bit confusing because their moodiness can be illogical. Lol. Tell me about it They have a tough exterior but don't be fooled, they get hurt easily. Crave material comforts & security. Is easily offended and never forgets an insult. Positive traits: emotional, compassionate, wonderful host, supportive friend, great homemaker, humorous. Negative traits: clingy, hypersensitive, unpredictable moods, holds grudges FOREVER, they can get obsessed when in love. Matches made in heaven for Cancer: Taurus (the best), Cancer and Pisces (telepathic bond with a Pisces but careful with Pisces self-destructive conduct). Scorpio is a good match as well but their emotions move veryyyy slow. Cancers usually move quickly and fall in love fast. Now let's move to Aries. Aries is a cardinal fire sign. Full of energy (example of this is my friend Vilmarie). A train that can go on and on without stopping. Very decisive, always have to be doing something. Over the fucking top. Hot-headed and impatient. Positive traits: thirst for life, fair-minded, hard-working, courageous, quick-witted. Negative traits: self-centered, impatient, violent temper, no concept of other's feelings. Listen up my CANCER friend, if you want this Aries attention: engage him in interesting, passionate conversations. Have a sharp, clever wit & make him laugh. They think they are smarter than everyone else so being witty will help. First date advise: have fun, talk and try to connect. They like sexy tomboys or sporty types. Dress a bit sexy. The night will probably end with his tongue in your mouth or he will feel you up. I he likes you, he will come after you like a bull. This is a tough match but with some coaching it could work. Compatibility with Cancer: not very good but it could have potential if you wear a low top, he will love your boobs, don't smother him or become too clingy and control those emotions! Don't tell him you are in love just yet, but do tell him he is hot! Hope this helps darling and good luck.

Welcome! Bienvenidos!

Hello everyone. I am very excited to write about astrology and how it has changed my life. My beautiful girlfriends have inspired me to start this blog. We talk about astrology, love, life and people everyday. I want it to be fun, fun, fun. I am not a professional astrologer but do read a lot about it. It has helped be more self aware and I have improved my interpersonal skills in my private and professional life. I don't jump into judging people based on first impressions anymore. As all of you know, when I am introduced to a person I ask them pretty quickly when their B-day is and go from there. (oh my god this blog will help me improve my english grammar, please patience is my second language). So anyway, the thing about astrology is that can help us understand people's personalities traits and why they behave the way they behave. You can get a deeper insight about friends, colleagues ( a PLUS),  family, lovers and yourself. I will write based on articles and books that I've read, ok?! 


Because we are still under the Capricorn days, will like to write a few things about the sign. To my fellow Capris:
Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign.  Very down to earth, or the most down to earth of the Zodiac. Stable, reliable, calm and dependable. We get things done!. We are rule by planet saturn, which rules structure and discipline. Ha, I am not feeling very Capri. Capricorns are blessed and cursed with a clear perception of the real world. Our worlds are very black & white. I have a few capricorn friends and all of them share this same trait and the fact that we tend to be pessimistic. Capris also frowns a lot! Often the 'rock of the family, obsessed with budget & finance planning, Love?, yeah yeah great, there are other important things like work, work and making it to the top first. Sex? high sexual drive and some even with secret fetishes. Believe it! Freaks, ugh. Capris look old when they are young, and young as they get older. Live a very long life, thanks to Saturn. Not sure what this means..Maybe they are less prone to addictions. Be straight to the point with a Capri or you will loose him/her in a conversation.

Key Characteristics:

Positive:  Realistic, gives excellent advice :), highly responsible, productive, strategically brilliant, relentless, leader, self-disciplined. Dresses very well..

Negative: Pessimistic, easily discouraged (oh so painfully true), sarcastic, conservative (well, not all of them), fearful, impatient.

Love & Hates (take note people, in case you have a Capri colleague, lover, or friend!)

Love

• Reliability & Professionalism
• Privacy
• Having a Purpose

• Finishing what you start

Hate 

• Rudeness
• People who don't finish what they start
• Being made to look a fool
• Indecisiveness

I would go on but a bit tired. I party a bit too late last night with my friendly and social Sag hubby. Anyway hope you enjoy it and lots of more to come.

Hugs & Kisses and Happy New Year 2011!
