Here Comes the Sun (Signs) - Romance, Astrology and You - Air Signs
Gemini - (May 22 - June 21) Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury and is symbolized by the Twins. An Air sign, Gemini is connected with communication. You have a way with words. You’re good at flirting and teasing, and can be a real sweet talker. Because of your “twins” influence you are clever at adapting your style to suit the seduction. You can be witty and clever and easily are attracted to good conversationalists. You love the power of suggestion and using double entendres. In fact, you use them proficiently when you are flirting with others, whether they be romantic interests or just passing fancies. You adapt easily to most situations and love to share stores of people, places and experiences, which you skillfully use to arouse the interest of one you desire. Because you are so tuned into communicating, you can see both sides of a situation. You know there are always at least three sides to every conflict. The sides of each party involved and the truth; which you have a knack for discovering. You can be a prolific writer. Love letters, poetry and notes are easily used to seduce the object of your affection. And mind games are beyond your realm of romantic antics. Internet chat rooms and forums stir your interest. Who knows, you may even find your future mate online. You have been known to give “good phone,” and enjoy long conversations that revolve around romance and sexual innuendos. Flirting is second nature to you and you are almost shameless when it comes to practicing your flirting style. Because of their sometimes short attention span, Gemini lovers are more likely stay around if they feel mentally stimulated.
Libra - Romantic. (September 23 - October 23) Libra is ruled by Venus. An Air sign, Libra is connected with social relationships and its symbol are the scales. Known as a diplomat to those closest to you, you have an incredible sense of objectivity and seek harmony and balance in relationships and life. Happiest when you are in love, you can be sweet and sensitive. You love talking about things relating to love and romance such as novels, movies or songs. It is your way of flirting with the object of your desires. You are a charming, gracious and considerate lover and can adapt your style to attract the one you desire. In fact, you like to be partners in most aspects of life and will find ways of including those you love and admire in your plans, whether it be at work, home or play. Although crowds of people don’t seem to bother you, you prefer spending time with your love interest alone rather than in a group setting. You may start out at a big gala affair, but will look for an appropriate time to get away so the two of you can spend time alone together. You are a thoughtful partner and lover and give your full attention to your mate. Giving your undivided attention is your way of flirting. You have a keen interest in others and can lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on. You love courting and or being courted by the object of your affection. Hearts and flowers go a long way in the romance arena of your life. Librans do not like to be manipulated, fair play is an absolute must.
Aquarius - (January 21 - February 21) Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. An Air sign, Aquarius is very social, and is symbolized by the water bearer. An inventor at heart, you can be seen by others as a little “quirky,” often gravitating toward the future and progress of humankind. You are considered a visionary and open-minded looking for less conventional ways of being and doing than the other signs. You don’t generally break down under peer pressure; you prefer to be different from others. You are highly liked and surrounded by friends because you know how to be one. A humanitarian, you long for social reform and prefer those who share your thoughts on life over those who easily conform to societal pressures. You tend to be more attracted to the outrageous than one who looks and act like everyone else. You are sometimes thought of as a “rebel with a cause” and will be attracted to a partner who you shares your desire to change the world. You are a free spirit who needs his or her own space, but don’t mind sharing that space with the object of your affection, as long as you don’t get pushed into a corner. You enjoy sharing your vision of the future with the one you desire and consider it your way of flirting. Sometimes you appear aloof or unemotional, which can be a turn-off for some. Not to worry, the right person will find it attractive and be curious to know what lies beneath that detached exterior. It seems an odd way to “flirt”, but it can be attractive to those who are curious and have a similar demeanor. It is the game of “intrigue” that can often turn someone on and make them want to know more. The Aquarius is a creative and imaginative in lover and will often seduce the object of their desire in unusual ways (and places).

Okay, we’re finally ready to dive headlong into the meat of astrology, the astrological chart itself. This is where the foundation of your astrological influences is laid out. A trained astrologer can look at your astrological chart and tell a lot about you just from a glance. By going into depth he can tell even more. So, the questions that need to be answered are, what is an astrological chart, what’s on it and how to you make one for a person?
To answer those questions in real depth would take a book in itself. For the purposes of this article we’re going to just give you the basics. You can then do further study on your own if you really want to dive into creating and reading your own astrological chart.
An astrological chart is derived from some basic information about your birth. In order to create one, what is needed is your exact date of birth including the exact time. For example, December 12, 1982, at 7:15 PM. Also what is needed is the exact latitude and longitude coordinates of the place where you were born. You’re probably wondering, why do we need all this info? The reason is simple. The planets are constantly moving every second of every day. Plus, the relationship of where you are to each planet changes based on where on Earth you are at the time of your birth. That’s why somebody born on April 5, 1987, at 8:10 AM will have a different astrological chart from somebody born on the exact same date and time if they are born in Germany and the other person is born in Alaska.
The actual technical skill required to put together an astrological chart is mind boggling. However, with computer technology, you can now simply input the information into a program and have your whole chart of when you were born spit out for you. That is about 90% of the battle itself. The rest of the battle is simply interpreting the chart.
An astrological chart contains an enormous amount of information. While all of it is important, some of it is more important than other parts in that the majority of the information derived from the chart comes from these few pieces.
The main thing your chart is going to tell you is what planets were in what houses at the time of your birth. This is important because each planet has a specific influence on certain aspects of your personality depending on which planet it is and what house it occupies. If you’ve taken a basic science course in school then you know that the 9 planets are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto as well as our own Earth. The Earth however is not included in the chart because it is the planets that affect the Earth and not the other way around. So since you know what the planets are, you then need to know what the houses are to know what influences the planets affect.
There are 12 houses, Identity, Spirituality, Community, Ethics and Career, Beliefs, Transformation, Relationships, Work and Service, Creativity, Home and Family, Knowledge and Self Worth. Each of these houses has control over a variety of what you might call sub houses or categories. For example, relationships come in all sizes such as friends, business and relatives. A house is more complex that just its general description.
To simplify the whole process, your chart is read by figuring out which planet is in which house at your birth and thus determining what the major influences are in your life. From the chart we get your sun sign, which is your main sign and a number of other pieces of information. The main pieces give the basic characteristics of your personality and influences. The minor pieces go into more detail, which we will do in future articles.

In Chinese Hsia Calender, 2006 is the 4703rd year and is also the third year of the New Fengshui Land Luck Period 8. The new Chinese Lunar Year is from 29.01.2006 to 17.02.2007. Here are the Annual Forecasts and suggested Fengshui & Crystal Remedies that you may need for the coming “New Year 2006 : Bing Xu, the Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog” :
CAREER :
2006 is a critical year in your life and full of changes. Change in job, profession, nature of business : anything could happen. Expect the unexpected and brace yourself to meet all types of challenges. Lower your hopes to avoid disappointments and depressions. Projects you thought were over will get stalled; problems you had resigned to live with will suddenly get solved. Customers and loyalists will switch sides, bothways. The impact of the Year Breaker TSui Po will be quite severe. You will raise conflicts and trigger disputes wherever you go. Ignore rumours and gossips. Mind your own work and do not poke into other’s affairs. Turbulence and obstacles will follow you every step of the way. You are neck deep in negative energy and do not do anything that will sink you further. Be pateint and polite even with those who insult you. Be careful whom you deal with. Avoid stepping on others’ toes - whether they are friends, subordinates or superiors. Otherwise you will easily offend influential people around you. You will face many a crisis; train yourself to maintain calmness. Concentrate on the work in hand and stay focussed. Many of you will undergo changes in your personality itself - your entire outlook of life in general could change too. If you are a journalist, writer, copy writer, creative designer or digital artist, you will do much better than others. A Black Tourmalene Crystal Pendant and the statues of Quan Yin and Kuan Kung in the North West of your bedroom are needed. Remember : the experience that you gain this year will bear good results in future.
You are conflicting the Tai Sui this year, so display the statue of a Three Generations Dragon Head Turtle alongwith a photograph of the presiding Year Authority of 2006 in the North West, to minimise the negativities of gossips and scandals. You should also wear a Fengshui Rabbit Pendant or place the statue of a Rabbit in the East. (The position of Tai Sui corresponds to North West this year. Tai Sui is also popularly called as Grand Duke of Jupiter and is an intangible energy body of war-like nature that should not be disturbed.)
MONEY :
Money will flow in and flow out with the same speed. In fact you will spend more time and energy in trying to stem the outgoing money than in earning it. Unexpected expenses and frequent shopping sprees will empty your purse. Many of you will spend a lot of money while travelling and in shifting. Keep off speculative investments, share markets and gambling. Be careful with female friends and female relatives - you could end up losing a lot of money in trying to help them out. Do not act as guarantor for anybody. To control the financial loss atleast to a certain extent, keep a set of PaKua Horoscope Coins always with you and a set of Dragon & Phoenix Coins at home.
HEALTH :
Stay hygiene. Be careful with the quality and quantity of your eats. Don’t take uncooked raw food and deep freezed foodstuff. Some could get infections related to stomach, abdomen, chest and ribcage. Females could get ovary problems and are advised to go in for a thorough gynecological and urological check-up. There could be some bruises and injuries too, but of minor nature. Drive carefully.
LOVE :
Not much love luck either. Many relationships will suffer due to your short temper. Ignore gossips and rumours. Do not allow your frequent mood swings to cloud your judgement. Avoid even the slightest argument otherwise you will regret a lot. No matter how much you love your spouse, the marital equation will drastically deteriorate. For singles, not a good year for courtship or marriage. Better place a statue of Three Generations Turtle or Three Generations Dragon Head Turtle in the East of the living room. In the South West of your bedroom, you can display a pair of pink Mandarin Ducks, if you are married.
Beneficial Crystal : Amethyst, for 2006
Good Relationship with : Rat, Rooster & Monkey, for 2006
Conflict with : Tiger, Ox & Dog, for 2006
Yin/Yang : Yang
A NOTE ABOUT REMEDIES : The above analysis has suggested some remedies/cures for reducing the impact of negative energy and has recommended certain enhancers for increasing and improving upon the beneficial energy. For the remedies/enhancers to be effective, they should be cleansed, energised, blessed and programmed not only for the particular individual/family but also for the specific purpose/problem. They should also be placed in the indicated location. Any or all of these remedies can be reused for the coming new years, the only thing is that some of them may have to be repositioned according to the specific new year.
