The Discovery of the Constellation Aries

Constellation has been a major part of life in the ancient times ever since humans started to observe the night sky. Pioneers of sea navigation always depend their perilous voyage by looking up to the sky to guide them as they fare along treacherous waters. Star gazers, priest and wise men of the ancient world use these groups of stars as their basis for their daily actions. Mythology tried to explain their existence and significance in terms of stories, legends and symbols.
In contemporary astronomy, constellation is defined as an area celestial spheres, characterized by accurate boundaries. Constellation could also be referred to as prominent visible heavenly bodies that seem to create a certain pattern in a specific area. In modern era, International Astronomical Union (IAU) parts the sky into eighty-eight (88) official constellations with exact borders; to define every direction or place in sky would be defined by a constellation.
The Eighty-eight Modern constellation
International Astronomical Union set the eighty-eight (88) official constellations. Majority of constellations are based upon the ancient Greek tradition passed down through the Middle Ages. It includes the famous 'Zodiac Signs' or the twelve (12) constellations which the sun passes and have had special cultural significance. The rest consist of constellations which were defined during the early modern era by astronomers who gazed and studied the skies in the southern hemisphere, which the Greeks did not see.

How Astrologers Think

Times have changed! How do astrologers think today? Not much differently than they've always thought. But they could be better understood. Learn more ....

Russians think of their country as Aquarius ruled, according to Johnson's "Russia List". Johnson's List is a daily e-mail newsletter with information and analysis about contemporary Russia from a wide range of sources. Maybe this is why they are so open to astrology. Aquarius is also the ruling sign for astrologers.

I was reading about some predictions Russian astrologers were making for the year 2002 in an article written at that time by Kevin O'Flynn for Johnson's "Russia List" entitled "Stars Aren't Smiling Down on 2002".

O'Flynn, who quotes Russian astrologers like Yury Longo, Sergei Bezborodny and Alexander Zarayev, doesn't seem to put much store in astrological predictions himself but he notes that "even several current and former Russian and U.S. leaders and their wives have shown an interest in astrological predictions". I don't know what Russian leaders he's referring to but it is thought that President and Mrs. Reagan consulted astrologers like Sydney Omar, Jeanne Dixon and Joan Quigley.

The comment that caught my attention in the article, however, was this:

"Perhaps the most pessimistic of the astrologers doing the rounds in the Russian media was Alexander Zarayev. He predicted in "Argumenty i Fakty" that Russia would see a bumpy ride between February 28 and March 12 and an even worse time after July 27, with problems in the Middle East and other hot spots. It will be similar to the [ruble] default in 1998," said Zarayev, who, like many astrologers, was short on details [emphasis mine].

Astrology : A Science or Superstition?

Human beings have always been curious to know their future. Whenever someone is in difficulty and cannot easily come out of it, he wants to know whether the days of his misery will come to an end at all. And if yes, then when? When one invests a great deal of time, effort or money into some project, it is natural to wonder whether that investment will bear some fruit. There have always been people around who have successfully predicted future events. Their methods have been different - some people can simply look into the future, some use tarot cards, some draw up an astrological chart which we call horoscopes, some read the lines in the palms of people. One cannot deny that future has been accurately predicted many a times and by many a people. Each successful prediction proves that it is indeed possible to correctly predict future.
In the ancient times, astrologers were held to be in great esteem by the people. There was no difference between astronomers and astrologers. In fact, astronomy and Astrology were not considered to be two different subjects. Many will be surprised to know that most of the renowned scientists of the past, including Sir Isaac Newton, were astrologers too. In ancient India Astrology was known as "Jyotish Shastra" which included predictive Astrology as well as what we know as astronomy. Needless to say that the astrologers of that era were all great mathematicians too. An accomplished astrologer was called "Trikal-darshee" : one who could see past, present and future. It would perhaps not be an exaggeration to say that Astrology was considered to be the foremost branch of science.
Slowly over a period of time this subject came into disrepute.

Is Your Life Acceptable?

Have you ever found yourself saying something in your life is acceptable? "It's fine, it's good enough." "My job's OK, my relationship is passable." I know I have, many times. I also discovered that following the path of acceptable led me straight into apathy, on to discontent and finally to desperation to escape every aspect of my life.
Acceptable is the same as average or mediocre. If a person's life is acceptable, that means their life is mediocre. We have been trained into the belief that it is noble to settle for acceptable, and selfish to desire extraordinary or great. Often, if something is amazing in our lives, we are embarrassed to tell people about it for fear of being rejected, fear of making other people feel bad, or fear of being seen as a show-off.

The end of humanity in 2012 could be credited towards the interpretation from the Mayan Calendar. This ancient calendar belonged to some civilization that goes back to a minimum of the sixth Century BC. The Mayan calendar predicted various world occasions which have happened within our past for example War, famine, ton and earthquakes, to title only a couple of.

The Mayan civilization was very advanced in mathematics, engineering and astronomy. Additionally they had an amazing knowledge of some time and space. Various calendars were being used to trace amount of time in linear progressions within cycles. The "Great Cycle" from the "Lengthy Count" calendar translates to five,125.36 years. Great Cycle it's because it will be completed about the winter solstice of 2012, December 21. So, it's been construed that about this day, the truly amazing Cycle finishes, time finishes, therefore the Earth must finish too.

Some believe cataclysmic occasions will occur in December 2012 using the ultimate destruction occurring on December 21, 2012.
