A warm hello.

I’d like to explain a little about ‘the Ascendant’, for those of you interested in learning more about astrology or keen to figure out your own ascendant or that of someone close.

The Ascendant Sign (also called the Rising Sign) is determined by your time of birth – it is the Zodiac Sign rising on the Eastern horizon at your birth time. (If you were born at a time of year that had Daylight Saving Time you will need to take 1 hour off your birth time). The Ascendant is an important part of a horoscope – it represents your persona or face that you show the world, it has a bearing on your physicality, health, appearance, manner and clear characteristics of the ascendant sign will appear in your nature; it is usually very accented in childhood years; sometimes, it can feature as we get into our 40’s and beyond.

There is a basic method you can use, to gauge an approx. ascendant, if you have a vague birth time or just want an estimate. This basic method will help you find the most likely ascendant options; then, as the Zodiac Signs bordering each other are so strikingly different, it will be easy to choose which one of them fits you.

Here is the method:

It takes approx. 2 hours for each Zodiac Sign to rise over the horizon. Write a list of the 12 zodiac Signs in their correct order so it is easy to count through them. Then start with your Sun Sign:

If you’re an Aries – at sunrise Aries will be rising; 2 hours later Taurus will be rising, 2 hours later Gemini and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Libra will be rising; 2 hours later Scorpio and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise, Pisces will be rising, before that Aquarius and so forth.

If you’re a Taurus – at sunrise Taurus will be rising; 2 hours later Gemini will be rising, 2 hours later Cancer and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Scorpio will be rising; 2 hours later Sagittarius and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise, Aries will be rising, before that Pisces and so forth.

If you’re a Gemini – at sunrise Gemini will be rising, 2 hours later Cancer will be rising, 2 hours later Leo will be rising and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Sagittarius will be rising; 2 hours later Capricorn and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise, Taurus will be rising, before that Aries and so forth.

If you’re a Cancer – at sunrise Cancer will be rising, 2 hours later Leo will be rising, 2 hours later Virgo will be rising and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Capricorn will be rising; 2 hours later Aquarius and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise Gemini will be rising, before that Taurus and so forth.

If you’re a Leo – at sunrise Leo will be rising, 2 hours later Virgo will be rising, 2 hours later Libra will be rising and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Aquarius will be rising, 2 hours later Pisces and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise Cancer will be rising, before that Gemini and so forth.

If you’re a Virgo – at sunrise Virgo will be rising, 2 hours later Libra will be rising, 2 hours later Scorpio and so on. At Sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Pisces will be rising, 2 hours later Aries and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise Leo will be rising, before that Cancer and so forth.

If you’re a Libra – at sunrise Libra will be rising, 2 hours later Scorpio, 2 hours later Sagittarius and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Aries will be rising, 2 hours later Taurus, and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise Virgo will be rising, before that Leo and so forth.

If you’re a Scorpio – at sunrise Scorpio will be rising, 2 hours later Sagittarius, 2 hours later Capricorn and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Taurus will be rising, 2 hours later Gemini and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise Libra will be rising, before that Virgo and so forth.

If you’re a Sagittarius – at sunrise Sagittarius will be rising, 2 hours later Capricorn, 2 hours later Aquarius and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Gemini will be rising, 2 hours later Cancer and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise Scorpio will be rising, before that Libra and so forth.

If you’re a Capricorn – at sunrise Capricorn will be rising, 2 hours later Aquarius, 2 hours later Pisces and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Cancer will be rising, 2 hours later Leo and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise Sagittarius will be rising, before that Scorpio and so forth.

If you’re an Aquarius – at sunrise Aquarius will be rising, 2 hours later Pisces, 2 hours later Aries and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Leo will be rising, 2 hours later Virgo and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs- for 2 hours before sunrise Capricorn will be rising, before that Sagittarius and so forth.

If you’re a Pisces – at sunrise Pisces will be rising, 2 hours later, Aries, 2 hours later Taurus and so on. At sunset, the opposite Zodiac Sign Virgo will be rising, 2 hours later Libra and so on. If you’re born before sunrise, move back through the signs – for 2 hours before sunrise Aquarius will be rising, before that Capricorn and so forth.

I hope you have fun working out your ascendant and the ascendants of those around you.

When you work out your ascendant – can you relate to it? Do you look like it, act like it, or is there a streak of that sign in your personality? This is where understanding the Zodiac signs well will help you to determine which one of the possible options with your birth time is the right one.

Wishing you joy,

A warm hello,

The New Moon this week falls in the emotional sensitive zodiac sign of Cancer. It is a particularly emotional and sensitive time because the planet Mars (fiery energy and conflict) is also in Cancer, along with Mercury (communication). Add to this, a complex and tense planetary pattern that denotes clashes or stressful conditions. A New Moon always denotes a new beginning or fresh action with plans/situation that’s stalled, and there will certainly be action with this New Moon, but be prepared for some very challenging conditions too.

ARIES and LEO: There’ll be a surge of action on the home front - visitors, domestic work and family endeavours, but you’ll also have to keep your cool with frustrating domestic conditions and family spats.

TAURUS and SCORPIO: You’ll spread your wings with an ambitious new personal project, new interests, activities and learning, wider social contact, travel or a change of scene, and exciting plans with a distant relative or colleague - but there may be a few hassles to sort out as things unfold.

GEMINI and SAGITTARIUS: Important financial business, large transactions or costly endeavours will go ahead but watch a tendency to overspend or make impulsive/emotional financial decisions.

CANCER: Your personal energy will be revved up – you’ll take the bull by the horns and go for something you want, stand up for something you believe in, or do something you’ve been postponing for a long time.

VIRGO: You’ll pour energy into fulfilling a special personal aspiration, cultivating new contacts, catching up with friends, working through a few challenging exchanges or debates and enjoying fun times, outings and activities.

LIBRA and AQUARIUS: You’ll have your hands full! Stressful tasks, demanding conditions and challenging differences/situations with colleagues will ask more and more of you. PR efforts on the job will be essential.

CAPRICORN: An important event or change for a loved one will require energetic support. Step lightly though, to defuse clashing ideas, and emotional ups and down with your partner or a family member.

PISCES: You’ll throw yourself into fulfilling a personal goal that is close to your heart, bringing special plans with a loved one to fruition or building a relationship, but the best way forward may not always be clear – see the big picture to keep emotional vacillations at bay and to guide you through.

Wishing you joy,

A warm hello.

Thanks so much to all of you who are coming along to the psychic/astrology afternoon with my dear friend Mitchell Coombes and me; I’m really looking forward to meeting you.

Here’s a hint about something I’ll be talking about – I want to show you how I do my predictions, how and why they work, and how you can do them for yourself. I will focus on Jupiter; Jupiter is a wonderful planet to work with – it’s the good news planet, the planet of good fortune, it spends approx 1 year in each Zodiac sign and it’s always in your horoscope somewhere! Knowing about it can help you get into step with your personal seasons, to make the most of the cycle you’re in.

There are only a few tickets left so if you’d like to join us for this 1st time event, please click on this link – https://mitchellcoombes.com/attend-an-event/

In regard to personal charts and all your enquiries, I have so much on my plate at the moment that I’m taking a break, but I’ll let you know through my website or Facebook page, when I start doing them again.

Now, a few of my very favourite words: They are from Og Mandino.

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

And how will I do this?

Henceforth, I will look on all things with love and I will be born again.

I will love the sun for it warms my bones, yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.

I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart, yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul.

Wishing you joy,

Karen
