Aries

To take a look forward Aries will be the next sign which falls from March 21st to April 19th. According to the Tropical system of astrology, the Sun enters the sign of Aries when it reaches the northern vernal equinox, this coming from crystallinks.com Aries is the start of the Zodiac Cycle spanning 0-30th degree and is represented by the element fire. Though not all cultures thought Aries to represent a ram most do and studies by astronomers have found that some main stars in jupiter have planets rotating around them as I learned from an article from Kim Zimmermann reporting on space.com. 
Some strengths of Aries can be:
- Independent
- Generous
- Optimistic
- Enthusiastic
- Courageous
Some weaknesses of Aries can be:
- Moody
- Short tempered
- Self-involved

Birth Stones relation to the Zodiacs started back with the beginnings of Astronomy.  The stones were thought to hold powers or energy that enabled the person possessing the stone abilities .  The stones were originally classified by color somehow relating to the constellation and or the time of year.  In ancient times and even today it is thought to positive to carry your stone on you for it allows for a connection of the energy within ourselves and the universe.  Whether you believe in the energies crystals posses or not I thought it would be cool for everyone to learn what their stone is. Each sign has multiple stones. Here are some of the basics:

Aries-Diamond
Taurus-Emerald
Gemini-Pearl
Cancer-Ruby
Leo-Peridot
Virgo-Sapphire
Libra-Opal
Scorpio-Topaz
Sagittarius-Turquois
Capricorn-Garnet
AquariusAmethyst
Pisces-Aquamarine

Aquarius

  Picture From logo-kid.com

Here is the constellation Aquarius or the "water bearer". The stars were thought to resemble a person that is pouring out water from a jug.   The 11th sign Aquarius is from January 20th through February 18th.   The element for Aquarius is air.

Since its the last day or night of Aquarius this year i thought I'd put the horoscope directly quoted from Aquarius horoscope Feb 19 2015

The Sun's return to your income sector yesterday and first full day here today and especially with the Moon here as well, giving you a nose for money, ensures that you won't drop the ball as Mars leaves today and as Venus gets ready to leave tomorrow. Until now Venus and Mars have been on a mission to boost your confidence, a sense of entitlement and of what you're fighting for, whereas it's now that the real journey begins. Hold onto a sense of what's possible while realising that in order to turn desires into reality you've got to get real.


If you are an Aquarius see if these words resemble some of your strengths and weaknesses and let me know what your thinking!
Strength 
-Witty
- Clever
- Humanitarian
- Inventive
-Original

Weaknesses
- Stubborn
- Unemotional
- Sarcastic
- Rebellious
- Aloof



Ruling Planets are Saturn and Uranus 

Take A Look Up

It is only natural to wonder what is up above. In a article I was reading called the Crystals of the Zodiac  by  Crystal Vaults this website explains a simple way to understand the Zodiac signs. As we know the earth is always moving and rotates around the sun. Ancient Babylonian astrologers observed these in 12 separate periods or signs of the Zodiac roughly about a month long. However in ancient times the year began in Aries the Vernal Equinox which is around March 21st, from there they observed the suns movement. So imagine a circle of 12 star constellations surrounding Earth which were given symbols they resembled. If you go outside and looked at the sun, right behind the sun would be the current sign that would then be visible at night time. It was as simple and as complex as that and from there began studies by civilizations for thousands of years. Heres a list of the 4 groups related with elements referring to the seasons.

Fire Signs: Aries, Sagittarius, Leo
Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Air Signs: Libra, Aquarius, Gemini
Earth Signs: Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo

And a list of the 12 Zodiac Signs with corresponding dates so you can find yours and let me know what you are.
