Do You Have a Wounded Moon?
by
Randall Curtis

Astrologers have known about the wounded Moon for centuries, but most psychologists, therapists, and psychiatrists are usually not aware how this affliction affects the life of an individual.

What is a wounded Moon?

When the outer planets of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto form a negative relation to a person's Moon at the time the were born, they are emotionally wounded. This is not a rare occurrence. It is often found in the charts of many people.

It is important to realize that the Moon in your birth chart shows how you receive and give nurturing. When our Moon is afflicted by the outer planets, we often feel totally unstained emotionally by life.

A skilled astrologer can see these conditions immediately in your chart and can determine how these planets impact your emotional life.

Saturn has often been called "the leaden planet" because its dark energy leads a person to feel heavy, emotionally depressed, and blocked from any sense of inner nurturing. They are often unaware of the cause of this depression. This person was born depressed, because their life began in a depressing environment. The nurturing energy of the mother (the Moon) was denied them. Even though the mother may be present after birth, the child gets the message that she is cold and uncaring. This Saturn aspect indicates that the mother does not sustain the child emotionally. There may be karmic conditions in which she has no choice. But, regardless of the circumstances, the child feels unloved and unprotected by the mother.

When Uranus has a negative relationship to the Moon in the birth chart: When Uranus afflicts the Moon it creates a volatile energy and indicates an emotionally rebellious individual. They cannot tolerate any restrictions or boundaries in their personal life. They may have had some traumatic birth experience where they had a hard time getting out of the womb. This experience could be the cause of why they have such strong reactions to being restricted in any way. Their attitude toward their mother or other family members may be unreasonable and emotionally reactive. They seem to be very touchy individuals and can "fly off the handle" in an instant.

When Neptune has a negative relationship to the Moon in the birth chart: A Moon that is afflicted by Neptune often reveals a deep sadness in the person. This is true sorrow. They feel that they were abandoned by the mother and feel totally unsustained by her. This condition creates very deep emotional needs and often leads the person to become a caretaker of others in order to feel nurtured or needed. They have a great "need to be needed" and will often sacrifice their own life caring for others. In this way, they feel connected emotionally. They have a strong feeling that they have never had a home and feel cut off from any inner nurturing. So, by giving love, they hope the other person will love them back, but it rarely works oout that way because they tend to attract people who are also emotionally damaged.

When Pluto has a negative relationship to the Moon in the birth chart: This is a very deep and painful affliction which creates tremendous anxiety within the individual. When there is even a hint that their security is threatened, they will burst out in a most terrifying rage. Much of this exists in their imagination, but nevertheless, it is very real to them. To most people the event that triggered the rage seems like such a minor thing. This is why the negative outburst seems totally uncalled for. This person is always "putting out fires" where a fire exists only in their imagination. They often react with such intensity that people tend to avoid their company. They can be very coercive and emotionally demanding, and they find it practically impossible to adjust their needs to the needs of others. They are simply too busy trying to take care of their own security needs to be bothered by those of other people. This is why they can appear to be extremely selfish.

If you suspect that you may have a wounded Moon, talk to a skilled astrologer. He will help you understand how you are set up emotionally and will provide you with suggestions on what you can do to change or work with the energy.

How Zodiac Signs Reveal Sexual Attitudes
by
Randall Curtis

To determine a person's attitudes toward sex, you have to find out what signs the sexual planets, Mars and Venus, were in at the time they were born.

A sign is one of the twelve energy fields of the zodiac which reveals human attitudes. Each energy field, or sign, is very different from the other. You can learn all about the signs by going to this location.

If a man's Venus is found in the sign of Taurus, he is attracted to a woman who also has planets in Taurus. She has the kind of chemistry and attitudes that ignite him emotionally and sexually.

Likewise, if a woman was born when Mars was in Taurus she is attracted to the man who has planets in Taurus. He has the chemistry and attitudes that ignite her emotionally and sexually. This is the kind of energy that is present when these two people come in contact with each other. The Venus and Mars connections between potential lovers determine their sexual chemistry. By learning just a few tools you can read the sexual chemistry between you and another person.

You need to do two things to find this out.

• Get a free astrology printout of your birthchart from www.alabe.com. You will need to provide them with your date, time and place of birth. I can also provide you with a printout of your chart, if you enroll in any of my online classes. If you have studied your free astrology lesson, you will be able to look at the chart and locate the sign positions of your Venus and Mars. Obviously you would need to get the same information for your partner or potential mate.

• Once you know how to locate the sign positions of your Venus and Mars, you will need to compare them with the Venus and Mars of your partner. You can use almost any astrological textbook to look up this information, or you can consider getting the The Master Matchmaking Course.

Serious Sun Signs Mistakes
by
Randall Curtis

Someone once said that "A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing." Nothing could be more obvious in the question, "What's your Sun sign?" I must admit these seem like valid questions. After all, if you are one of the people asking this question, you already know that you feel an attraction to someone who has one of these Sun signs.

Let's say you are a woman and found out that his Sun is in Gemini.

Your attraction to him puzzles you because your Sun is in Taurus and you read somewhere that a Gemini Sun sign and Taurus Sun sign don't get along. They live in two different worlds

One lives in his mind with books, ideas, methods and techniques while the other lives on the earth in a very sensual way among the flowers, good food, money, and great sex.

Yet, why are you attracted to a guy that you are not supposed to like!

Obviously, this does not make sense.

This mystery is easy to understand if you consider the following:

• Almost everyone is composed of several signs, not just the Sun sign. This means that their Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are usually in different signs.

• You may have two planets in the sign of Taurus, one in Capricorn, and another in Cancer. This is why people are complex, and this is why you can make a serious sun sign mistake if you judge them simply on the placement of their Sun.

In the example given earlier, even though your Sun sign is Taurus, your Mars may be in Gemini. Mars in a woman's birth chart shows what sign she is passionately attracted to.

Since your man has his Sun in Gemini, you are drawn to each other. The signs of these two planets create an attraction because they have a harmonious chemistry. So how could this be viewed as a Sun sign mistake?

Because he may have his Saturn in Aquarius, which shows that he does not like the Taurus side of you and tends to criticize the way you approach life.

You find it hard to live under such criticism and you begin to feel that this person does not love you. Even though you are attracted to each other because of the Gemini energy, the Saturn conflict spoils the relationship.

This is what I call a Sun sign mistake. This is also why relationship analysis is a very serious matter which requires the skils of an expert who can clarify any relationship for you.

Thousands of Sun sign mistakes are being made every day by thousands of people because too much emphasis is being placed on the Sun sign at the expense of innocent readers. I have seen so many people who have been misled and victimized by this belief.

With just this bit of insight, you can see why your attraction to the Gemini man has deceived you.

What can you do?

Please understand that all of your signs and planets work together to make up the total you. Because of this, you could be a very complex person with many conflicting desires which can be easily mis-read by others who are judging your only by your Sun sign.

You can clearly see that if you followed your desire for the Sun in Gemini man without knowing how your planetary energies work with his, it could be romantic suicide.

You can easily set yourself up for a real heartbreak by chasing the Sun sign illusion. If you want to realy understand your relationship to another person, see Compatibility.
