For astrological findings depend upon the date, hour, latitude, and longitude that attend our birth. Horoscopes definitely do show general personality characteristics which fall under particular signs. There may be exceptions, especially if one was born on the cusp or just as one sign changes to the next Jupiter usually is a lucky planet It induces cheerfulness and optimism. Women with Jupiter prominent in their chart tend to attract men. Their tendency is to dress in colorful stylish clothes. Saturn, the opposite of Jupiter, causes restlessness and pessimism and sometimes perhaps because of these qualities a lack of prosperity, depending on certain influences. Venus blesses with feelings of friendship, love and good things and, in conjunction with Jupiter, effects a magnetic sex attraction. Mars, exerting a masculine power, rules the world of sports. It brings violence also, far too often. Frequently, whenever Mars and Saturn appear in my chart I have five negative days in a month. At these times, I proceed cautiously. But I do not permit my awareness of this negative influence to rule me. I accept it as something whuh God, in His mysterious way, has allowed to come in my path, while I try to fulfill His purpose for me on this earth. Mercury, a little but aggressive planet, is like a child who is forever crying out "I want that " or That's mine!" It is, therefore, not surprising that Mercury is closely associated horoscope believe in astrology. To I me, it is a science so com- to a plete point that I might even advocate it be taught in our schools. The sun. the moon, and the stars are all part of God's great universe. And with the advance of scientific we become ever more aware of the interdependence that exists everywhere. Here on earth we accept the science of ecology a branch of science dealing with the close relationship between all living organisms and their environment And in the universal scheme of things, we accept the pull of the moon upon the sea, sufficiently powerful at times to cause the sea to go wild. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the science and art of astrology when I was a little girl, only eight or nine years of age. The priest who was my religious adviser at the Sacred Heart Church in Los Angeles was the instrument for this. Always fascinated by the star markings in my hands and the things I told him when I lowered my head and shyly spoke of the many strange things that came to me, he arranged for me to meet Father Henry a brilliant Jesuit scholar from Loyola University. knowledge, Family Weekly, November SO, 1969 Looking back, I realize that Father Henry must have been in advance about me and my psychic gift, for his interest was immediate and intense. Looking at my hand, he said at once that I should study astrology. "It will mean a great deal to you," he predicted, "and your psychic talent will add greatly to your interpretations." Father Henry cast my horoscope, a difficult thing to do since the hour of my birth is not known. He had to work my chart backward and forward many times before he was finally satisfied. "You have a talent which, coupled with your religious devotion," he concluded, "could help many people find within themselves the light of God." For a period of several years, Father Henry made frequent trips from Santa Clara to instruct me. He was never mysterious but talked about horoscopes and constellations as naturally as he talked of religion and teaching, stressing always the importance of numbers. However, I do not and let me say this loud and clear accept astrology as absolute. Only God is Absolute. And He would not have endowed us with a free will had He not expected us to use Astrology is an road map when the guidelines it shows are correctly interpreted. well-brief- it ed ever-so-helpf- ul with trade and commerce, mathematics and writing and, at times, with behavior that is mischievous to a serious fault Uranus, not discovered until the 18th century, rules over invention, electricity, and the unexpected. Neptune is prone to be disastrous at times. Apropos, I believe that Sen. Edward Kennedy's chart would show that Uranus or Neptune exerted a very strong influence at the time of his automobile accident last July. Pluto, discovered as recently as 1930, stimulates a dissatisfaction with surroundings and causes a wanderlust especially in the young, who, ruled by Pluto, are revolting against their parents and the Establishment. I predict another planet is soon to be discovered. The zodiac, quite simply, is an imaginary belt in the Heavens extending for eight degrees a degree being an astronomical term of measurementon either side of the apparent path of the sun and the paths of the moon and the planets. The 12 equal parts into which the zodiac divides the year are named for the mythological beings whose outlines they originally were thought to resemble. The signs of the zodiac are: Aries, The Ram : March 21 to April of Aries get their energy from the ruling planet Mars. Strong in competition, they are leaders in business and industry. Aries takes the lead in trying out new things and moving in new directions. They are ambitious and headstrong but forgiving and helpful to those less fortunate than themselves. As children, they want their own way. As parents, they should avoid a tendency to dictate to their children. 19.
