Horoscope for Wednesday, November 22 2006
Aries (born March 21 - April 19)
This is a great day to be with others and to work together. Discovering what you truly believe in--fighting for it, even--is a high personal priority now. Religion, law, politics, travel and higher education are some of the arenas where this takes place. Pressure, whether it is outside your control or motivated from your own expectations will be much more acceptable today with a sprinkle of humor. This just may be a time of testing your limits to see how far you can go. However, you can’t control everything around you--so don’t even try. There is an emphasis on close relationships this evening. Fairness and harmony are part and parcel of the mental cycle you have just begun. Romance is an outlet for much of your energy.
TAURUS (born April 20 - May 20)
This is a period of great mental activity and heightened communication with others. You may even find yourself in control of some situation that may seem to be more than you can handle. Intellectualism, the exchange of ideas, the idea of being smart as a fox all have special appeal and importance so you want to continue your activity. When you are faced with self-doubt . . . sit down, plant your feet flat on the ground and your hands relaxed on each knee. Close your eyes and say to yourself that you can accomplish what is set before you as easily as wiggling your little finger. Then wiggle your little finger. As you are facing your challenge . . . wiggle your little finger. Stress relief this evening may encompass the entertainment of a friend.
GEMINI (born May 21 - June 21)
While you and your mate struggle with the pressures of adulthood, the young ones in your family may dream of it. This sort of scenario may be what you talk about with your friends at the lunch hour today. Much laughter and a few tears may keep the discussions of the afternoon a memory for a lifetime. You may find yourself helping others with projects in the work place. Pressure situations help you to grow. Feedback from higher ups is most gratifying. You are able to cut through the red tape and get at the facts. This is a time of much energy and drive, perfect for starting something out or taking care of business--very physical too. Joint investments are lucky at this time. Exercise or romance is in order this evening.
CANCER (born June 22 - July 22)
This could be a frustrating day that seems to go against the normal flow of progress. Choosing wisely may mean much forethought. Be very careful in making any sort of decision today. Of all times . . . this particular time will force you to become a bit more relaxed with regard to your timing demands on yourself. Things are happening, and your career, or path depends upon your own ambition and drive. Consider your options and call upon your good common sense. This afternoon you will have an opportunity to encourage young people in their own personal decision-making abilities. Support a young person’s good judgment. This evening is as good time for surrounding yourself with friends and for having a good time.
LEO (born July 23 - August 22)
Someone may challenge your good taste today. If you have the power, you can appreciate their opinion and move forward. If they have the power, you may want to respond in ways that show you could continue your research. However you respond, make sure you are moving forward, not backward--especially by becoming lost in emotional disruptions. Keep in mind that if things go your way, you will want to avoid editorializing or saying that you knew better. Secrets, taboos and mysteries appeal now--however, make sure it is not gossip that has your attention. After a bit of shopping this afternoon, you could join in the activities of friends. This evening is perfect for music, dinner and fun conversations among friends.
Virgo (born August 23 - September 22)
New forms of creativity and self-expression open new avenues for accomplishments. Increased confidence and a more outgoing manner may also be a key to new career opportunities. Your career or life path undergoes change and transformation during this time. Finding your special talent is important and will help you with your life purpose as well as with any transitions you will experience. Look to see if the work or hobby you are involved with at this time will lead you to your expression of that talent. Sharing your special talent is the greatest experience for you. Your support system will encourage you, if you need them. You are able to dispense with some of the unessential things in your life and develop what is most basic and true.
Libra (born September 23 - October 23)
You use subjective rather than objective logic--intuition and gut instinct. Poetry, music and the arts interest you, as do psychology and the psyche. The way to keep your own creativity alive is to value and pay attention to little, almost vague ideas that you get. You find your greatest growth happens when the facts of the moment seem to contradict themselves. This is when you move to the intuitive. Fortunately, you back up your feelings with knowledge, making your problem-solving abilities most powerful. Remove the emotion, not the intuition--look at the facts. This evening you may meet an old friend for dinner. The stuff of gossip fascinates and calls to you from across the void. You hate it, but you love it--there is unrest.
Scorpio (born October 24 - November 21)
Others will follow your lead today. Obtaining and exchanging information takes on an emotional significance now. You could come up with plenty of new ideas for making work run as smoothly as possible. Your intuitive focus at this time is in getting down to business and accomplishing what you set out to accomplish today. Again, as you have learned . . . the greatest growth happens when the facts seem to contradict themselves. You find yourself uninterested in sidetracks--what is not essential. It is easy for you to become so involved with your problem-solving issues today that you can forget about time. The power of organization on a social scale--business, political and such seems to take on greater importance now.
Saggitarius (born November 22 - December 21)
This is a great time to be with others and to work together. Everything points to your taking the initiative with the work you do just now. You will find yourself coming up with all sorts of beneficial ideas to improve your work. This could mean a new advertising strategy or new sales approach. A period emphasizing an enhanced sense of personal possibility and potential has just begun. There is a lot of psychological growth now. This can lead to great personal success if you follow through with it. You might also find, however, that you will put on the pounds if you are not careful. At home or in your own artistic expression, you gain recognition. You could find that you are appreciated for your ability to follow through and try out new ideas.
Capricorn (born December 22 - January 19)
Non-creative situations such as busy work schedules, operating procedures, corporate deadlines, reports, quotas, etc., can stunt your creative growth--so to speak. Allow yourself part of the day to have freedom of expression. Do this in reports, presentations or even the suggestion box. You are in the mood to seek the right solution for all when it comes to problem solving you can use your creative abilities. You have a love affair going with the mind and value all of its’ offspring: words, ideas, thoughts and such. You love to talk and may find yourself in several good conversations around the dinner table with friends tonight. These stimulating mental adventures are most exciting for you and can create ideas for plays, stories and poetry.
Aquarius (born January 20 - February 18)
If you do not become carried away by other people’s foolish ideas, you will be able to insert some positive, commonsense alternatives to projects that may need saving today. You and a co-worker may decide to prepare for some presentation together. This could help you to practice techniques without running the risk of embarrassing mistakes. Connecting with others through an attitude of teamwork will make for profitable results. Your enthusiasm and drive could become catching. You encourage others by pointing out the good points they have and the positive contributions they make in group situations. You will feel real harmony this afternoon from those around you. Music or perhaps dancing, can be quite a lot of fun this evening.

You gain mutual trust and cooperation. You are powerfully motivated, even driven and there may be a tendency to be impulsive today. Innovations--new and possibly unconventional approaches to being productive or making money--are in order now. Your response to life is becoming more original and innovative. You look to home and family for support and encouragement. Security and having roots is important to your productivity now. A mini shopping spree for some new holiday clothes is in order this evening.

This is a time of good fortune when things open up in a very natural way for you. It is however, easy to see which path to take. Secrets, conspiracies and the hidden links that unite all things take on greater importance. Looking at the way certain things were handled in the past gives you hints about the present and future and uncovers many answers to questions that are nagging. Possibly a career turning point may require some careful thought and good judgment on your part. The current flow of events may dictate a path that runs against your best talents--careful. A family conference is in order.
Libra (born September 23 - October 23)
A friend or loved one may tend to put the damper on what you say or think. It could be that you have unintentionally distorted a message in some way. There may be some restriction to your ability to communicate today--out of focus. If this has the possibility of causing frustrations, express the desire to think a matter through before you make any final decision or comment.

This talent may even reach toward the criminal when you try to persuade them to give themselves up to the authorities. The situation is a natural for self-expression and lends itself to your particular ideas and thoughts. You are just plain witty now--the ideas roll off your tongue. A sense of support for whatever you plan will be most successful.

It is easy for you to make correct decisions, find the right path and move forward where career and success are concerned. Stay away from sensitive communications with loved ones until after the sun goes down--there are disturbing energies floating around this afternoon.

Horary astrology question
The questioner, a woman, describes a difficult situation, everything in her life seems to disintegrate. The question was phrased "How shall I deal with my partner? Leave? Go?", adding also that after 9 years of marriage, she doesn't believe that things could improve in this field.
This question was received on April 22, 2005, at 12:12:10 am EEDT, in Tirgu Mures, Romania (24e33, 46n33).
How shall I deal with my partner?
There is a strong Sagittarius-9th house focus in this chart: Sagittarius rising with Jupiter retrograde in the 9th house, the Moon, the co-ruler, and significator of the questioner's subconscious interest, also in the 9th. Even Mercury, ruler of the 7th house (marriage, partner), is also ruler of the 9th, suggesting a link between the two domains. The question seems therefore to be pointed towards a better understanding of the situation, from a higher (philosophical or spiritual perspective), rather than to make a definitive decision on this relationship.
Let's define the significators: Jupiter rules the 1st house, therefore represents the woman asking the question. Mercury rules the 7th house and represents the husband, the partner. The Moon, as always, co-rules the questioner.
There are quite a lot of aspects between these significators as follows: Jupiter and Mercury mutually applying by opposition while in mutual reception by triplicity. This kind of reception is only average as strenght. The Moon applies by opposition to Mercury and also by parallel of declination.
These oppositions indicate ongoing the tensions between the partners, although somehow mitigated by the Jupiter-Mercury mutual reception and the Moon-Mercury parallel. They may argue even quite often, but still they have things in common.
Saturn in the turned 2nd from the 7th, the house of the future (2nd) of the relationship (7th), indicates that the evolution of the relationship is not likely.
The questioner asks if leaving the relationship would be a good solution. We see Venus, ruler of the 5th house of the free will and the action to take, strong by sign and house, applying by positive aspect, sextile, to Uranus (changes, separations, divorce) but combust by the Sun, ruler of the 8th house (shared possessions). Also it is important to notice that the 5th house cusp in a fixed sign. It indicates that a change in the situation or a separation might envisageable at some point, but it'll take time and the main problems will arise when it'll come to share their possessions.
Retrograde Jupiter, Ascendant ruler, leaving the turned 4th (end) from the 7th (relationship) shows the questioner not ready to go forward and do radical changes in this relationship, certainly not ready to end it.
The final conclusion is that the chart is not suggesting that the separation would be a good idea in this moment. There might be something good in this relationship that is worth the effort to preserve. So, in order to make this relationship work, they'll have to make efforts. However, some changes are welcome (Venus sextile Uranus). See also the Sabian Symbols below.
The limits of the electional astrology
The electional astrology functions within the limitations of the destiny of the person who uses it, as shown in the natal chart. That's why it will never bring success in business for someone whose natal chart is totally against that. However, if there are average or contradictory indications in the natal chart, the electional astrology may represent the weight which will determine the balance to incline toward the desired outcome.
Also, there are moral and spiritual restrictions to the use of electional astrology in choosing the moment of birth of a child (unless there is a medical emergency for the mother or the baby), the moment for committing illegal, immoral or antisocial acts, or to harm another person. In theory, the astrologer can find a auspicious moment for a burglar not to be caught, but actually an astrologer will never do that.
What kinds of events are appropriate for electional astrology timing?
Examples of such events: the engagement and the wedding, divorce hearings, the baptize of a child, the opening of a new business, applying for a job, asking for a raise, purchase or sale an important or expensive item, a house or a property, beginning the construction of a house or building, business meetings, surgery, beginning of a medical treatment, sending an important letter, fax, email to achieve a specific goal, the departure on a trip and so on, actually EVERYTHING we want to have a positive and successful outcome, to be protected of unknown events.
Anyone, whatever its field of activity can benefit greatly from astrological timing.
What is electional astrology?
he electional astrology (known also as elective astrology) is the branch of astrology which identifies the most astrologically auspicious moments, the best astral configuration, in order to succeed in life, to have success in all our actions. The timing of the beginning of something new is an important factor which determines its outcome.
The electional astrology helps you start an action when the astral rhythms are favorable, when the Universe is willing to help you. It is fit for those persons who wish to be in control of their life. It was compared with the surfing, because it actually means to catch the favorable temporal wave which goes in the desired direction. Through electional astrology we can find the favorable moments, the windows of opportunity for our actions. Most successful people do this instinctively, without using the astrology, just as there are many people who drive in a foreign country without a map, using only the traffic signs. It is however wiser to use a map when driving in such conditions, as it is to go to an astrologer before starting a new business or changing something really important in life.
The use of electional astrology won't guarantee you the total and unconditional success of your action, which will be mainly the result of own your talent and efforts. The situation can be further compared with the importance of the meteorological prognosis for the planning of our vacation. We'd like to have sunny days so that we enjoy our holiday, and would not go on a trip during rainy, windy days. The electional astrology is complementary to the meteorological prognosis, helping us to avoid unnecessary bad lucks or other unexpected unpleasant situation. There are many times when the entire holiday was spoilt by the loss of the luggage or the robbery of the wallet… These situations can be avoided through electional astrology.

Astrology and graphology together
The astrology is an extraordinary tool that gives insight on one person's character and personality, potential and destiny. However, the tough part in astrology is to determine where an individual as arrived as a result of the more or less conscious choices made in life so far. How does that individual use the natal potential? Is he or she going to overcome the difficulties and be successful or is still living in frustrations? Is he or she consciously undertaking a transformation process that ultimately will lead to improve living and character?
This is where some other sciences come in handy. One of these is graphology, the science and art of analyzing one person's writing and revealing his/her personality and behavior. The graphology gives an answer to the question how is that person today.
Astrology and graphology are complementary to each other. The first one defines the character and destiny, the second one finds out in what way this potential is realized. Astrology shows the path, graphology shows the location where we are now.
I became aware of the importance of this new branch of astrology, the astrographology, the combined use of astrology and graphology, or analyzing the writing using the natal chart and the other way, by reading a book by Sylvie Chermet-Carroy, "L'astrographologie facile" (Edition Marabout, France, 1992).
The letters are not simply shapes, they represent sounds, which are vibrations, grouping them into words to express concepts and thoughts represents even more complex vibrations. So the writing is actually a living symbol of the subconscious.
Studies have demonstrated that inner transformation is preceded by multiple tiny changes in handwriting. So analyzing the writing helps tracking down the progresses made in any therapy that addresses to soul or mind. The natal chart shows the main issues in life, while the writing at one moment in time shows where the individual had reached.
People who enjoy delving deeply into psychological astrology will find the combined use of graphology in their practice incredibly helpful. There is a lot to study and to learn from it, so this is surely going to be very rewarding.

What is a natal astrology reading?
Starting from personal details provided by the client (birth date, time of birth, place of birth), an experienced Astrologer making use of specialized software can determine astral configuration at time of birth. The configuration shows the position held by every planet at the client's time of birth. This individual map contains information about the individual's basic personality, talents, abilities, as well as weak points that represent real challenges throughout the individual's existence.
The position of the Moon and of the planets
First, compute the eccentric anomaly, E, from M, the mean anomaly, and e, the eccentricity. As a first approximation, do (E and M in degrees):
E = M + e*(180/pi) * sin(M) * ( 1.0 + e * cos(M) )
or, if E and M are in radians:
E = M + e * sin(M) * ( 1.0 + e * cos(M) )
If e, the eccentricity, is less than about 0.05-0.06, this approximation is sufficiently accurate. If the eccentricity is larger, set E0=E and then use this iteration formula (E and M in degrees):
E1 = E0 - ( E0 - e*(180/pi) * sin(E0) - M ) / ( 1 - e * cos(E0) )
or (E and M in radians):
E1 = E0 - ( E0 - e * sin(E0) - M ) / ( 1 - e * cos(E0) )
For each new iteration, replace E0 with E1. Iterate until E0 and E1 are sufficiently close together (about 0.001 degrees). For comet orbits with eccentricites close to one, a difference of less than 1E-4 or 1E-5 degrees should be required.
If this iteration formula won't converge, the eccentricity is probably too close to one. Then you should instead use the formulae for near-parabolic or parabolic orbits.
Now compute the planet's distance and true anomaly:
xv = r * cos(v) = a * ( cos(E) - e )
yv = r * sin(v) = a * ( sqrt(1.0 - e*e) * sin(E) )
v = atan2( yv, xv )
r = sqrt( xv*xv + yv*yv )
The position of the Sun
The position of the Sun is computed just like the position of any other planet, but since the Sun always is moving in the ecliptic, and since the eccentricity of the orbit is quite small, a few simplifications can be made. Therefore, a separate presentation for the Sun is given.
Of course, we're here really computing the position of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun, but since we're viewing the sky from an Earth-centered perspective, we'll pretend that the Sun is in orbit around the Earth instead.
First, compute the eccentric anomaly E from the mean anomaly M and from the eccentricity e (E and M in degrees):
E = M + e*(180/pi) * sin(M) * ( 1.0 + e * cos(M) )
or (if E and M are expressed in radians):
E = M + e * sin(M) * ( 1.0 + e * cos(M) )
Note that the formulae for computing E are not exact; however they're accurate enough here.
Then compute the Sun's distance r and its true anomaly v from:
xv = r * cos(v) = cos(E) - e
yv = r * sin(v) = sqrt(1.0 - e*e) * sin(E)
v = atan2( yv, xv )
r = sqrt( xv*xv + yv*yv )
(note that the r computed here is later used as rs)
atan2() is a function that converts an x,y coordinate pair to the correct angle in all four quadrants. It is available as a library function in Fortran, C and C++. In other languages, one has to write one's own atan2() function. It's not that difficult:
atan2( y, x ) = atan(y/x) if x positive
atan2( y, x ) = atan(y/x) +- 180 degrees if x negative
atan2( y, x ) = sign(y) * 90 degrees if x zero
Now, compute the Sun's true longitude:
lonsun = v + w
Convert lonsun,r to ecliptic rectangular geocentric coordinates xs,ys:
xs = r * cos(lonsun)
ys = r * sin(lonsun)
(since the Sun always is in the ecliptic plane, zs is of course zero). xs,ys is the Sun's position in a coordinate system in the plane of the ecliptic. To convert this to equatorial, rectangular, geocentric coordinates, compute:
xe = xs
ye = ys * cos(ecl)
ze = ys * sin(ecl)
Finally, compute the Sun's Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (Dec):
RA = atan2( ye, xe )
Dec = atan2( ze, sqrt(xe*xe+ye*ye) )
The orbital elements
The primary orbital elements are here denoted as:
N = longitude of the ascending node
i = inclination to the ecliptic (plane of the Earth's orbit)
w = argument of perihelion
a = semi-major axis, or mean distance from Sun
e = eccentricity (0=circle, 0-1=ellipse, 1=parabola)
M = mean anomaly (0 at perihelion; increases uniformly with time)
Related orbital elements are:
w1 = N + w = longitude of perihelion
L = M + w1 = mean longitude
q = a*(1-e) = perihelion distance
Q = a*(1+e) = aphelion distance
P = a ^ 1.5 = orbital period (years if a is in AU, astronomical units)
T = Epoch_of_M - (M(deg)/360_deg) / P = time of perihelion
v = true anomaly (angle between position and perihelion)
E = eccentric anomaly
One Astronomical Unit (AU) is the Earth's mean distance to the Sun, or 149.6 million km. When closest to the Sun, a planet is in perihelion, and when most distant from the Sun it's in aphelion. For the Moon, an artificial satellite, or any other body orbiting the Earth, one says perigee and apogee instead, for the points in orbit least and most distant from Earth.
To describe the position in the orbit, we use three angles: Mean Anomaly, True Anomaly, and Eccentric Anomaly. They are all zero when the planet is in perihelion:
Mean Anomaly (M): This angle increases uniformly over time, by 360 degrees per orbital period. It's zero at perihelion. It's easily computed from the orbital period and the time since last perihelion.
True Anomaly (v): This is the actual angle between the planet and the perihelion, as seen from the central body (in this case the Sun). It increases non-uniformly with time, changing most rapidly at perihelion.
Eccentric Anomaly (E): This is an auxiliary angle used in Kepler's Equation, when computing the True Anomaly from the Mean Anomaly and the orbital eccentricity.
Note that for a circular orbit (eccentricity=0), these three angles are all equal to each other.

The time scale
The time scale in these formulae are counted in days. Hours, minutes, seconds are expressed as fractions of a day. Day 0.0 occurs at 2000 Jan 0.0 UT (or 1999 Dec 31, 0:00 UT). This "day number" d is computed as follows (y=year, m=month, D=date, UT=UT in hours+decimals):
d = 367*y - 7 * ( y + (m+9)/12 ) / 4 + 275*m/9 + D - 730530
Note that ALL divisions here should be INTEGER divisions. In Pascal, use "div" instead of "/", in MS-Basic, use "\" instead of "/". In Fortran, C and C++ "/" can be used if both y and m are integers. Finally, include the time of the day, by adding:
d = d + UT/24.0 (this is a floating-point division)
A few words about accuracy
The accuracy requirements are modest: a final position with an error of no more than 1-2 arc minutes (one arc minute = 1/60 degree). This accuracy is in one respect quite optimal: it is the highest accuracy one can strive for, while still being able to do many simplifications. The simplifications made here are:
1: Nutation and aberration are both ignored.
2: Planetary aberration (i.e. light travel time) is ignored.
3: The difference between Terrestial Time/Ephemeris Time (TT/ET), and Universal Time (UT) is ignored.
4: Precession is computed in a simplified way, by a simple addition to the ecliptic longitude.
5: Higher-order terms in the planetary orbital elements are ignored. This will give an additional error of up to 2 arc min in 1000 years from now. For the Moon, the error will be larger: 7 arc min 1000 years from now. This error will grow as the square of the time from the present.
6: Most planetary perturbations are ignored. Only the major perturbation terms for the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, are included. If still lower accuracy is acceptable, these perturbations can be ignored as well.
7: The largest Uranus-Neptune perturbation is accounted for in the orbital elements of these planets. Therefore, the orbital elements of Uranus and Neptune are less accurace, especially in the distant past and future. The elements for these planets should therefore only be used for at most a few centuries into the past and the future.
Introduction
The text below describes how to compute the positions in the sky of the Sun, Moon and the major planets out to Neptune. The algorithm for Pluto is taken from a fourier fit to Pluto's position as computed by numerical integration at JPL. Positions of other celestial bodies as well (i.e. comets and asteroids) can also be computed, if their orbital elements are available.
These formulae may seem complicated, but I believe this is the simplest method to compute planetary positions with the fairly good accuracy of about one arc minute (=1/60 degree). Any further simplifications will yield lower accuracy, but of course that may be ok, depending on the application.
