How Knowing Puts the Ball in Your Court

Aw I hate when so much time goes by between blogs. I hope everyone knows that doesn't mean the astrological fun stops. C'mon now, I'm a Sadge- can't stop, won't stop, eh-eh, eh-eeh:)

No I am always busy learning more about astrology. I actually picked up two mega books today from Borders (which I totally could not afford), Birthdays, Stars, and Numbers and Bernie Ashman's SignMates. While viewing my birth date, December 19, in the birthday book, I decided I would only buy this if it was totally accurate and told me something I hadn't already seen about myself in print. Well it went above and beyond. This is what sold me:

"Linked to your Sun's degree, this star encourages you to pursue a career in higher education [in case I forgot to mention, I am a teacher], writing [HELLO!], publishing [BLOG!], or the legal profession [and finally a miss!]. Usually Etamin [my primary star's influence] imparts an assertive and determined nature with interest in unusual subjects, ideas, and issues [ASTROLOGY!]." (pg. 602).

Ashman's book, Signmates, caught my eye because most of what everyone asks me in astrology (unfortunately at times) has to do with significant others and their relationships. Pisces have even been known to recommend dating services that are based on individuals signs- man the success I could have with that business! (Remember, signs don't lie, people!) More importantly, when I stumbled on the Sadge page it read:

"An answer for Jeopardy could be, 'This sign of the zodiac known for being the traveler, gypsy, optimistic, clown, and benefactor; The question is, 'What is a Sagittarius?'" (pg. 30)

Yes-Yes-Yes! Love it! The clincher for me was the author's admittance to the fact that he too is a Sagittarius. I look forward to reading his perspective in SignMates, as I'm sure we will have similar opinions:)

So when this final week of online graduate classes are complete (this is the finally Week 9, the end!) I will be doing nothing except studying astrology and music...and job hunting of course! Expect to report back to a new and improved, steady streaming blog!

Today's General Horoscope: A restless Aries Mercury turns retrograde, remaining in that position until April 23. It's tough to complete thoughts, but then there might be something confusing about questions and answers anyway. People's hearts are on their sleeves and they respond emotionally to life under tonight's Pisces Moon.

Funny. Now that I know we are in Aries and Mercury means 'communication', I can relate since I did converse with a dear Aries, LR, today. We spent the afternoon together running a muck (buying things we did not need). We tend to see each other often this time a year. (Perhaps more strongly until April 23 and I never realized it?)

People's hearts are on their sleeves tonight, in Pisces Moon? Well I do have plans with a certain Pisces tonight that I am looking forward to. I will have to get back to that one;)

Very Interesting.

Hey- if you're not buying into my astrological brouhaha that's too bad. The point of all this is to learn more about oneself and others. Accept it. I believe that if I ultimately master this language and science that I will be able to have better control over my GPS in life. Because being in the know- puts the ball in your court. And these days, I couldn't feel more like a Harlem Globetrotter getting it all right. (Can't stop-won't stop....eh-eh, eh-ehh!)

And if you just want to follow the star's plan- flip a coin and see which way you end up:)

Part II: Location! Location!

Hello All! Another long week in the life as a Sagittarius has passed, and I have many new insights to divulge.

1. Astrological Accuracy via Facebook: My daily compatibility was with Aries most of this week, which I of course spent the majority of my time with. Shout out to my Aries-Besties, and Happy Birthday Aries, one and all:) I think it is vital to mention that now that we are in this new phase, Aries, I have been surrounded by them, much like I was surrounded by Piscis during their calendar phase.


2. I have been researching more and more about natal charts (and the key of location)!

Along with studying my own natal chart (click here to view your own- this is by far the best free website), I have asked my friends to check theirs as well. I had another Sadge, VC, and the Aries of the week, CS. let me analyze their natal chart. I know VC enough to know his chart was wildly on point. Aries CS may have felt "the cat was out of the bag" if all of his chart was true, haha.

Again, the important point of the natal chart is birthdate+time+location= the stars location when and where one was born, ultimately giving the newborn their astrological chart and traits.

What I have discovered while analyzing these charts is the importance of having a cheat sheet. I found a great one and will share it with you here. When you look at your chart, be aware of what each sun, moon, and planet means before analyzing it's accuracy.

WHAT PLANETS REPRESENT Sun = Ego Moon = Emotions Mercury = Communication Venus = Love Mars = Ambition Jupiter = Good Luck Saturn = Career Uranus = Creativity Neptune = Intuition Pluto = Personal Transformations

Perhaps this would make more sense with an example. Here is My Natal Chart and Planets:

Sun = Ego = Sagittarius Moon = Emotions =Piscis Mercury = Communication = Sagittarius Venus = Love = Sagittarius Mars = Ambition = Scorpio Jupiter = Good Luck = Aquarius Saturn = Career = Sagittarius Uranus = Creativity =Sagittarius Neptune = Intuition = Capricorn Pluto = Personal Transformations = Scorpio

...And my Ascending Sign is Taurus.

We each then receive traits in each planet (representing different aspects of life) in different signs, other than our most popular Sun sign (what we are known as). I am proud that I am in Sagittarius for most of my planets, and that even with the "new signs" I would remain a Sagittarius. It is something I can obviously identify myself with. Perhaps it is the Piscis, Aquarius, Cap, Scorp, Taurus within that needs the real tweaking.

But you guys tell me! If you know me as well as you think you do, check out My Natal Chart and your own- and let me know how dead on it all really is! There is a full explanation of what each sun, moon, planet is in your chart and how it affects your life. This may explain an astrological skeptic's biggest complaint- inaccuracy within horoscopes. Well, while I have many Sagittarians in my world, we all have different signs in other areas of our lives (for example, my moon is in Piscis) so all horoscopes are not created equal in this sense. All one has to do is learn to understand the rules, and it will all make sense in the big picture soon enough;)

Enjoy!!

All about *Location*

Man, so here's a word of advice in everything in life: when you get behind on your responsibilities, you're totally screwed. So here are my "Excuses Excuses.." for having been m.i.a. with my dear blog:

1. I am a Sadge...very spontaneous and spur of the moment. While I can get consumed by a project, I can easily let my social life rear me in a direction of its own.
2. Gotta live to write.

Now to business.

I have been having an adventurous couple of days. My "Gossip and Chatting" Piscis have been my most adoring influences for almost a week. Sweet and handsome Piscis CS brought everything to the table as a genuine Piscis would; a darling Piscis, AD., was also in the stars this weekend. Both individuals (birthdays only 24 hours apart) parents' were away. (Coincidence?)

It was at AD.'s belated birthday gathering that I met a December 12 Sadge, even more in tuned with astrology than myself. Ironically, this occurred on the day of the following Sagittarius Horoscope:

"Today you might receive intense telepathic communications from someone you don't know very well, Sagittarius. This might be symptomatic of strong ESP abilities, or it might be that this person is sending out distress signals to everyone he or she knows. If you feel comfortable with the idea, you might try to get to know the person a little better. This person could need a friend right now."

Perhaps Mr. 12/12 is the person my horoscope was referring to. His take on astrology is that even I don't know the half of it- and I believe him! I learn more and more about this stuff every day; that is the entire point of this blog: to learn and discover more about myself through astrology, and maybe get a little trip over convincing others I'm right, in typical Sagittarius fashion;)

Two things that struck me by Mr. 12/12 -

1. It's all about location, not the date. This is the idea behind one's natal chart. (I have to master reading these, although I can decipher some of it.)
2. We are not just one sign. (This is part of the natal chart.) Our Sun is in our sign we know in typical astrology. My sun is in Sagittarius. I am a fire sign. But my moon may be else where- perhaps Aquarius and that is why we get along to well? Or Piscis? Or my besties, Aries? (I will let you all know when I do.)

According to Astrology.com,

"The positions of the planets and their relationships within the signs of the zodiac determine our character; knowledge of the symbolism is the key. The path of the planets through the signs reveals the map of destiny."

The map of destiny? Are you kidding? How amazing would it be to have a GPS for life? Just follow its directions and go where you are meant to be- without the idea of making a wrong decision.

Sign me up.

So my goal is to learn more about my natal chart. I'll be sure to keep you all posted.

Location!Location! Bring on the explanation. It's been all about location with some of my newer friends. I have recently met or become reacquainted with many different individuals (from different social circles) of whom live near my humble of ode in Oakdale, New York: Leo RP., Leo MM, Libra KM, Gemini CG and my newest Aries bestie CS [holla] are all a mile radius. (There is also another individual that I know, but do not know his sign, living up the hallway from me in my apartments!) For someone constantly on the move, as a typical Sadge is, it is crazy to find friends in MY location. Or have others come to MY location- even far away Piscis CS < 3 aka C. Yonkers, another individual that can be identified by others based on his location.

It's all about location, so here's to finding out more about where I"m heading and where I should be...

Ode to Piscis, and Gender Gaps Everywhere!

Sagittarius Horoscope for Sunday, March 13, 2011:

If you've been studying astrology, numerology, or any other occult science, Sagittarius, today you might find some of the concepts you're studying a bit confusing. You may have glossed over some of the ideas that are prerequisites to what you're looking at now. Go back and review last week's lesson and everything might make more sense to you. You will probably progress that much faster for doing this.

Well, obviously I've been studying astrology more than ever with this blog. I took a short hiatus this past weekend for some much needed time away. (Have to live in order to write, right?) I had my fun and now I'm back, and surrounded by Piscis once again!

I love how Piscis are always the sign to send me back to my roots. Whether it be this blog or a lesson I already know, I can count on these folks to make my day dope. While Aries stand for new beginnings (and I love them so), Piscis reminds us to enjoy every minute of NOW and to have the most fun we possibly can, while keeping true to ourselves.

Perhaps I am making this realization because we are in a Piscis phase now, but I think it is mostly because of the amount of Piscis in my world.

An important thing about Piscis- and most signs- is that there is a clear division between same signs of different genders. So different. Here are some examples from an article from astrology.com about How Astrology Affects the Gender Gaps: (Plus my notes in italics, from a proud Sadge.)


Pisces
Pisces is a dreamer -- emotionally sensitive and not always decisive. Their gender differences seem to be between Big Fish Pisces and Little Fish Pisces -- the former can be legendarily voracious sharks, while the latter can be timid little trout.

Ladies- Loyal, long-lasting friendships develop. We don't have to see each other often to pick right up where we left off. They are fun and together, we love to gossip:)

Guys- These men are exactly that, very gentleman like;)

And for the rest of the Stars...

Aries
Aries is an active, fiery and quite masculine energy that reflects on both men and women. With Aries, there is always a thrusting ambition to reach the top of the heap. Both sexes are competitive go-getter's and adventurers. Aries women are not frilly or feminine, and like Aries men, they make it happen!

Both males and females of this sign can be a Sadge's bestie!

Taurus
The Bull is known as being earthy, placid, security-conscious and possessive. Both Taurean sexes share an indulgent approach to life, though the men tend to be higher up the gourmet scale; Taurus females generally aim more for home comforts. Both can be stubborn, though males are more inclined to be noticeably power-hungry.

In my experience with Taureans, Men- are very female, and the Females- are very male.

Gemini
Gemini is a true air sign -- chatty, emotionally detached and more than a little scattered. Whereas Gemini men can be socialites and rather wayward in their affections, the women veer toward being cool and cerebral, and sometimes rather guarded when it comes to romance.

Gemini's are Sadge's opposites. Male Sadge's love Female Gem's and vise versa, and Female Sadge's love Male Gem's and vise versa.

Cancer
The largest gender gap of all occurs in Cancer. Both sexes are emotionally self-protective and homebodies at heart. But with maturity, Cancer women grow stronger and more matriarchal, while the men often stay tied to their mother's apron strings, some of them reluctant to grow up at all.

I've been saying all along how emotion this sign is.
Ladies- often become head of household- wear the pants in the relationship- types, everything they say is "right." They have a lot of male companions.
Guys- Seek comfort in female companions. They are not always loyal, and often love themselves more than others even thought they don't always treat themselves the best.

Leo
Leos are relatively similar between the sexes, though the men are more spotlight-demanding. Leo women have slightly less overblown egos, and can give way more easily -- though often with gritted teeth. Both sexes love to be the center of social attention.

For sure:)

Virgo
Virgos are talkative, restless, hardworking and a little nitpicky. Both genders can turn into fussy old spinsters if they don't watch themselves! But male Virgos, like their Gemini counterparts, can be wanderers and romantically hyperactive, which Virgo women tend not to be.

Eh, I don't know astrology.com. Virgo girls do their thing too!

Libra
Libra is second only to Cancer in the major differences between its men and women. After all, consider this sign's symbol: the Scales, the balance of opposites. Mr. Libra has a male body with a feminine mind, while Mrs. Libra has just the opposite. He tends to be softer and sweeter, while she can be straightforward and often argumentative.

I didn't realize I only know male Libras, but their description seems to be true. I regretfully cannot comment on the ladies.

Scorpio
It's no secret that Scorpios are intense, emotional, private and stubborn. Both genders are right in line with this basic Scorpio energy, though the ladies can be more jealously possessive and stinging in their responses, particularly when hurt.

Scorpio guys can be more goofy and animated while Scorp girls may seem shy.

Sagittarius
The Archer is fiery, hyperactive, adventurous ... and even a bit of a motormouth! (LMFAO) It's quite a masculine sign, and Sagittarius ladies tend not to be domesticated or given to too many frills. If anything, Sag males are more intellectually inclined.

Woah now! You know I have a lot to say on this subject. Being surrounded by Sagittarians is practically all I know so here are some differences:

Ladies- Independent! Like to have fun! Down People! Ego's- cause we're the best!

Guys- I'm sure they can be independent, but always in some sort of situation that leaves them dependent of others. They are more sensitive than they appear.

Both guys and girls rely on their time with others as motivation and inspiration for great things.

Capricorn
The Goat has a reputation for being ferociously ambitious and hardworking, and this is true of both genders, though male Capricorns are often true sweethearts. Cap ladies tend to be cooler, slightly harder on the surface and ambitious as much for social status as they are for career success.

True.>

Aquarius
Aquarians are independently minded, emotionally detached and definitely talkative. Both genders share the same laid-back (though stubborn) approach to life. Aquarius men are often more high-tech, while the women simply like to network like crazy.

Guys- love to go out and grab asses.

Girls- love to go out and make conversation.

Both ladies and gentleman know that regardless of what they do, no one is good enough for them.

And that's that folks. I hope you enjoyed this somewhat delayed, but longer installment from a proud Sadge. As always, I'd love to hear what you think as well.

Horoscope's Reflecting Life

Horoscope.com's General Horoscope for Today:

"There are professional responsibilities you will respond to with courage and confidence as Venus sextiles Jupiter."

Well, I worked today. Finally. And I have the nerve to admit: I am pooped!

Daily Compatibility: Libra

Although I have spoken to one special Libra via text, I have no plans with a Libra today. But the day is young...

Today's Horoscope for Sagittarius:

You could be planning a major journey of some kind. It may b a long vacation or travel to foreign countries, or it could be an intellectual or spiritual journey into new schools of thought. Your mind is sharp now, so you will learn quickly and retain more. This is a good time to play detective, or perhaps you will simply want to lose yourself in a good mystery novel.

Am I planning any trips? Well no...although my south west gift card is burning a hole in my empty wallet, I wish I was in the position to travel. So then it must be of the intellectual and spiritual kind, no doubt. That's for sure. I have been so in my head and so desperate for answers for a long time now. I hope to find what I'm looking for in life, the self discovery a-ha moment we all think will come any day now. But until then I continue to look to the stars for answers to the day to day questions I may seek.

And oh yea, I've been dying to dig into my guilty pleasure corny detective James Patterson books I so love to escape in:)

"The Book"

Today's Daily Compatibility according to Facebook: Aries.

Guess who I saw today? Aries...but no ordinary Aries (as if there was such a thing), but my girl from middle school LR. We had our catch up time and then I broke out "the book". "The book" as it is most often referred to is The Secret Language of Relationships. I am notoriously linked to this book with most of my friends. I actually woke up to a text from a dear Scorp, JS, asking to look up some dates for her!

"The book" breaks down the relationship between two people based on their two specific birthdates. This relationship can be love, marriage, parent-child, family, sibling, work, friendship, ect. Each two dates have relationships that fit in these categories and "the book" will explain each and note which is best and worst; for example, I have many relationships with Aquarian friends, three of which fit into the same five down break down of the two said dates one would look up for an astrological read. These people with me are best:love worst: marriage. I can understand why- I love them! But Aquarians can't be tied down-haha! "The book" also give advice for the couple in question. It is usually in retrospect that this advice seems to be what was obviously wrong with relationship.

LR and I spent our entire afternoon with "the book". Much like my other friends who have looked up their different relationships, LR concluded that astrology is always right.

A few days ago a close Piscis, MA. did the same.

I approached an Aquarius friend of mine, BJ. and he too found that his personal astrological profile within the book (it does have individual information on each week of each sign) is very accurate. He would think this though, considering he is the "Week of the Genius" and it would be disgeniousness to disagree with the written truth.

The problem with "the book" is what to do with the knowledge you gain. What if you look up a love interest just to find they are worst love? Do you go for it anyway? What is every other relationship in the book was a hundred percent truthful.

I suggest you follow the advice given and beware of what you already know can hinder a relationship. And realize knowing what can happen puts the ball in your court.

Limbo and Book Recommendations

It's difficult to write from a Sadge's point of view when things are going as they have been. There has been nothing interesting in my horoscopes, stars, or life at the moment.

Just a whole lot of change.

I know this is something Sadges should thrive on, but in the mist of it all, it's so strange.

Big things will happen though. You just have to have faith. In the mean time, I hardly want to know my horoscope, not only for fear of self-prophecy, but I sometimes tire from knowing.

I did know my daily compatibility according to Facebook: Aquarius.
Guess what sign I hanged with today?: an Aquarius. DR<3.

Yes- Piscis, Aquarius, Gemini, and Taurus have been very present people in a Sadge's world lately. Let me know if you are in my shoes, and agree!

Until then, I am relaying some book recommendations that were recently given to me. I hope to get to them soon. I was told if you love astrology, odds are these will be up your alley as well.


The Power of Now (recommendation from a Gem)
Celestine Prophecy (recommended by Sadge, Libra, and Scorp)

Enjoy!!



While I chill in the limbo wave of life...

Clearly Recognizable

Missed blogging yesterday, but I figured it was Sunday, and even the big guy takes a rest then, No? :)

This was a very interesting weekend. I was recognized on Saturday in Rockville Center, my very first time going out in a long time. It was the ladies restroom in Kasey's and this girl says to me, "I know you! We talked astrology in Bayshore! I'm a Taurus, remember?"

I didn't remember, but I knew it was true. Where ever I go, my friends know they can most often find me talking Zodiacs with random strangers. This is the best way to learn more about the signs- the more people you meet, the more information you gather. It's not even conscience anymore:)

Once I left the ladies room I continued to run into Tauruses for the rest of the night. Coincidence? That must have been the sign most attracted to me on that particular evening, in that moon.

Yesterday's general Horoscope (for all signs) said:


The Sun quincunx Saturn advises going back to square one when it comes to Friday's "new start." Do so. The tweaking ensures that plans are built on a better foundation. With the Moon conjunct Jupiter tonight, expect enjoyable visits, pleasant conversation, and possibly a happy surprise.

I had all of that< 3

Part IV- Final Chapter of Astrological Profiling.



Capricorn (Dec 22- Jan 19)

When it comes to professionalism and traditional values, Capricorn wins hands-down. This practical sign loves to tackle life in the most conventional of ways, leaving no stone unturned. Considered the most serious-minded of the signs, the Capricorn possesses an independence that allows for considerable progress both personally and on the job.



My Capricorn Notes: While I have known Capricorns that fit this bill (hardworking, career oriented) I have seen many with no ambitions. Capricorns have a tendency to look at the darker things in life. They may take things harder than others. This doesn't make them bad people, just human. As a Sadge, I have decided to no longer even get Capricorn's numbers anymore. Their love of staying in conflicts with my itch to constantly keep moving. They can, however, be good friends to the ones they care about. Friendships usually start from the root, and their closest friends have been so for many years.



Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)

-FYI: I have included parenthetical notes in italics because I have too much to say for these amazing individuals!



Aquarians present themselves in one of two ways. One on hand, you’ll see someone who is shy, and quiet. (This is more likely for a February Aquarius!) On the other, an Aquarian can be boisterous, eccentric, and energetic. (That's for sure!) Both are deep thinkers with a love of helping others. Highly intellectual, this is a sign of fierce independence that prizes intuition tempered with logic. (Yes ladies and gents...don't be too sure you have an Aquarius pegged down! As much as they may rely on you, they are so charming someone else may also have their back, and it will inevitably come down to what the independent Aquarius is his/her most convenient option.) Both personality types have an uncanny ability to see both sides of an argument without prejudice, making them excellent problem-solvers. While very much attuned to the energies around them (They may get others more easily than most), Aquarians have a deep need to take time out alone and away to rejuvenate themselves. (Aquarians often have a time of isolation. Their time spent at home with family or their pets may be more intriguing than participating in the outside world.) The keyword for this sign is imagination. The Aquarian can see a world of possibilities even when there appears to be none.



More of my Aquarius notes: I find when meeting an Aquarius the result is often a fast, long lasting friendship. There is a level of comfort here. Sadge and Aquarius may be able to tackle topics easier than other signs when confronting their feelings. Beware of their charming wit- it makes for forgivable moments:) This allows them to get away with more than others- haha! One thing to remember about Aquarius is whether you realize it or not, they do appreciate you. They are cool and confident.



Piscis (Feb 19-Mar 20



"Understanding" is a most appropriate keyword for this gentle, affectionate sign. Easygoing and generally accepting of others around them, Pisceans are often found in the company of a variety of different personalities. Their willingness to give of themselves emotionally lends to an aura of quiet empathy. A Pisces is comforting to be around. While not likely to be the leader, this sign's presence is strong and vibrant in any cause they put their hearts into.

My Piscis Notes: NO DOUBT! I can always count on my Pisceans to be there in a pinch. They are very loyal friends, and they have a lot of them! Count on Piscis to be up to something awesome, and welcome you to come along for the ride! My favorite realization on Piscis was brought to the table by one- Miss AB. They love to have people fit individual needs in life. A friend per category if you will. I know what category I fit in with my Piscis people- do you? :)

Judging a Sign by its Cover

Last night I was out celebrating the birth of one of my favorite Piscis, AD. (By the way. Piscis LOVE their birthdays, so look forward to some great parties this month if you have the pleasure of knowing this great tribe of individuals!)

It was at dear AD.'s bday fiesta that I encountered a short, petite, bubbly personality named DR. I knew from a mile away, this girl was a fabulous AQUARIUS, which just so happened to be my daily compatibility yesterday according to Facebook's horoscope. She had all the same physical features my other Aquarius friends share. I asked and it was confirmed, I was right again:)

This just goes to show, it is perfectly okay to judge a sign by its cover. There are physical traits for each sign. If you haven't noticed yet- take note now! Click on your sign to learn more about your destined physical attributes from Astro-Vision.com. I have added what I have noticed in each sign.

Aries: *Pretty eyes*
Taurus: Petite/Average Height, Square Jaws
Gemini: Fit/Atheltic
Cancer: *Deep eyes*, Unique clothes
Leo: Bushy eyebrows, Athletic bodies
Virgo: Skinny, Cheeky
Libra: Soft
Scorpio: Skinny-Fit, *Nice eyes*
Sagittarius: *Sparkling eyes*, Weight varies through life
Capricorn: *Deep-set eyes*, Skin stands out in some way
Aquarius:Petite/Skinny, *Deep eyes*
Piscis: Large Lips, Unique style

So...tell me, am I dead on again or what? ;)


Part III- Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius
Sign Analysis: Comparing Astrological Profiles Against My Own Experiences, as a Sadge.

Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22)

"I balance" is the key phrase for this sign, and when it comes to everything on an even keel, a Libran will lead the pack. Peace loving and judicial, this sign abhors being alone. Partnerships are very important for the Libran, especially those on a personal level. With their winning personalities and cooperative style, they aren't apt to be alone for long!

My Libra Notes: I LOVE LIBRAS! I don't know if it's because I am a Sadge or because even their so called "bad" qualities are better than some sign's good, they are the sweetest and best of friends any sign can have. Count on Libras to be supportive and genuine friends. These people are often brilliant, and work hard as a result. Libras are very intelligent, with strong interests in history and politics. Basically, these guys know what they're talking about- so listen! They are also a likely sign to be a bit OCD (along with Gemini's!)

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)

Beneath a controlled, cool exterior beats the heart of the deeply intense Scorpio. Passionate, penetrating, and determined, this sign will probe emotions readily, yet rest assured there's an enormous amount of activity happening beneath the surface. Excellent leader, Scorpions are always aware. When it comes to resourcefulness, this sign comes out ahead.

My Scorpio Notes: As a Sadge, I've had very unusual Scorpio relationships. My brother is a Scorp, I've dated Scorps, had a few Scorp friends...one life long Scorp friend. Based on this I must insist that this is one of those signs that makes a huge difference if you are born in October or November. November Scorps seem to be more about having control. They are funny, but in their own sarcastic way. October Scorps are more likely to have that goofy antidote to their comedic moments. This sign works very hard, and is very involved within their family, at least when they live within the house hold. Most Scorps may go to college, but often find successful careers without the need of a degree.

Sagittarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)

My Sadge commentary is in bold and italicized parenthesis- Enjoy:)

Inquisitive and energetic, the Sagittarius is the traveler of the Zodiac. (I never ever stop making moves!) Their philosophical, broad-minded approach to life motivates them to wander far and wide in the search for the meaning of life (HELLO! What do you think I'm doing here?!) Extroverted, OPTIMISTIC, and enthusiastic (HELL YEA!) it can be almost impossible to keep the Sagittarius down. They love change. In fact, change is essential for this sign to feel their best.

More Sadge Notes: Well, if you know me you know this is pretty dead on. I am all of these things. And you know what? It's comforting to know that as a Sadge I am suppose to be constantly changing and moving and living the way I do. Lifestyle of a Sadge could run people ragged, but when you are that person, it's comforting to know it's who you are destined to be. This allows for acceptance to it, and a fulfilled life.

Tomorrow is the completion of this formal analysis of signs in comparison to my thoughts. Expect more to come! Look out Capricorns, Aquarius, and Piscis!

Trust It.

Why should we listen to the signs? Well for one thing, they are always right.

Here are just a few examples from the last 48 hours as a Sadge:

Sagittarius Love Horoscope for Thursday, March 3, 2011:

"The planetary alignment may help you to find courage to finally end a relationship that seems to have been dragging on. You both know that refusing to make a clean break is not really helping matters between you, but in far, it just hasn't happened. Today you realize that in order for you both to move on, you really do need to let go."

Needless to say, my Horoscope said my Sagittarius boyfriend and I would break up, and we did.

Today's Daily (General) Horoscope, March 4, 2011:

"A Piscis New Moon conjuncts the Sun and Mars, providing seed energy for new starts over the next 30 days. Tonight the Moon and Saturn suggest someone is many an important attitude adjustment. Heads up! It could be you, overdue with your break from the past."

I am most certainly on a new path, and a new start.

Today's Facebook Horoscope:

"Listen to you instincts Archer. You are a larger than life person, and if you add intuition to the mix you can implement your plans all the better. This may see you come up with a new way of generating cash. But equally, today's New Moon can be a new start within yourself, a time when emotional happiness and roots, become so much more important."

Daily Compatibility: Aquarius


I am indeed at a new start within myself, and I expressed this earlier to one of my dearest Aquarius friends, DD. She reached out, of course, on a day where I needed her expertise most.


I am not trying to dig too deep here, because I know what can be found in the stars. My advice now and through out the course of the blog is this: if you are looking for answers, take a good look at where you are in the stars and compare it to where you are in life.

Part II- Cancer, Leo, Virgo
Sign Analysis: Comparing Astrological Profiles Against My Own Experiences, as a Sadge.

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)

Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancer can be one of the most challenging Zodiac signs to get to know. Emotion runs strong for the sign, when it comes to a family and home, nothing is more important. Sympathetic and empathetic. Cancerians are greatly attuned to those around them. Devotion is the keyword for this sign, making them wonderfully sensitive people to be around.

My Cancer Notes: What first come to mind when I think of Cancers? EMOTIONAL! This is not a bad thing, but a prominent characteristic that I find in any Cancer I meet. I find that female Cancers often become "heads of the household" types, strong, family orientated individuals. Male Cancers, I find, are constantly seeking...something. They're emotions are strong, and may feel foreign to them for much of their life. This popular sign often has many friends of the opposite sex.

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)

When they mighty Lion enters center stage, everyone notices. This dramatic, creative, and outgoing sign has the keyword magnetism for good reason. Fiery and self-assured, a Leo's charm can be almost impossible to resist. Whether it's time spent with family and friends or efforts on the job scene, a Leo is going to bring a lot to the table.

My Leo Notes: I meet these loud/outgoing Leo's and as a Sadge, I either love them or hate them. Leo's are seasonal individuals. While I can sustain a friendship with Leo's in the darker points of the year, as it nears their birthday, you can count on a different individual entirely. Their messes often become the messes of their significant others, and without true confidence, a virtue we should all embrace, they may lose everything they put their time into as a result.

Virgo (Aug 22-Sep 22)

With an acute attention to detail, the Virgo is the sign in the zodiac most dedicated to serving. Their deep sense of the humane leads them to caregiving like no other, while their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is missed. The Virgo is often gentle and delicate, preferring to step back and analyze before moving ahead.

My Virgo Notes: I like the note about a Virgo's fragility, because I find most Virgo's, especially female, are very petite. I always consider Virgo's to be my "party people." Perhaps this is because they are such genuine, bright, kind individuals (although they may come off as quiet) and people are naturally attracted to their personalities. Virgo's are all about having plans and plenty of them! Their busy lives make for a fulfilled one at that.

That's all for today folks. Happy Birthday AD!

Getting Your Sign On!

As a proud Sadge, I went out of my way to find out more about my sign- hoping to discover more about myself. We have to do this at some point: soul search, figure out who we really are. But why?



I think the better one knows themself, the easier it is for that person to have an amazing, happy, fulfilled life. And what else are we here for anyway? I base this idea and many others I will discuss from a book a beloved Sadge in my life gave me, KM. It is called Finding your North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live by Martha Beck. In short, the "North Star" is our essential selves. We are born our essential selves, and then life happens. Based on our environment (who raises us and where, who we surround ourselves with and what we do, ect.) our "social selves" effects where we end up in life. The goal of the book is to maintain one's essential self, who we really are at the root of it all, before our social selves drive us away from it. Doing so will result in one's happiest and most fulfilled self.



There is a cute quiz in the beginning that states how far or close you actually are from your North Star, which I think everyone I have ever met has taken. (According to this test I have some things to take care of. While a year ago I was only 2 points away from my North Star, I am currently 12! Can you believe that? 10 more aspects of life that needs fixing!) I believe being one's essential self (at your "North Star") must coincide with one's happiness. What I think the North Star is missing, is the element of astrology. When we are born we are our essential selves, but astrologically speaking, every sign is born under certain stars that give them similar qualities...



For example: ever notice all of your favorite people's birthdays are around the corner from one another? That is because your sign is attracted, or close, with people of this sign.



Here's an interesting assignment: check out your friends' birthday's on Facebook. View all birthdays and start to notice a pattern. We are currently in the sign of Piscis (perhaps another reason I seem surrounded by them lately). Look through the list and see how your group of friends under each sign match up together. You should notice what signs you are closest to, have most often dated, worked with, become enemies with, and so on.



So here is what Horoscope.com has to say about each sign's personality profile. I will compare them to what I know. You do the same!

Part I: Aries, Taurus, and Gemini

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

As the first sign of the zodiac, the presence of an Aries almost always indicates the beginning of something energetic and boisterous. Not much hold this sign back. They're eager, dynamic, quick, and competitive. When it comes to getting the ball rolling, an Aries is the best. Pioneering everything from work-related projects to parties with friends, these folks go for the gusto.



My Aries Notes: I love these people. As a Sadge, I can proudly address all of my Aries as "besties." They are very cool friends that I always look forward to seeing. I have noticed as a pattern among my Aries friends that these people are very dedicated, family oriented, opinionated, love to have fun, down for anything, smart, hard working individuals:)



Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

Strong, dependable Taurus leads the way when it comes to reaping the rewards of hard work. Lovers of everything that is fine and beautiful, Taureans surround themselves with material gains. This is a sensual, tactile sign. Touch is very important in everything from work to romance. Stable and conservative, Taureans are among the most reliable of the zodiac. While sometimes viewed as stubborn, this sign will plod along on a task until the very end, ensuring that everything is up to standard. They're highly creative and thoroughly enjoy making things with their own hands.



My Taurus Notes: Well, me personally, I have no close Taurus friends. I just looked through my Facebook at the pattern and it seems every Taurus I know, I rarely see or have never really been that close with. The few Taurus's I did get to know in the past year I discovered I did not have much of anything in common with, and always ended the relationship abruptly, to say the least. So it may be that a Sagittarius+ Taurus= Never Together for Long (in my experience).



Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Versatility is a great keyword for this dual sign. Expressive and quick-witted, the Gemini present two distinctive sides to his or her personality, and you can never be sure with with one you're going to come face-to-face. On one hand, the Gemini can be outgoing, flirtatious, communicative, and ready for fun, fun, fun. Yet when the other twin is present, you can find his air sign contemplative, serious, restless, and even indecisive. Both twins are able to adapt to life's circumstances well, making them wonderful people to know. Things are never boring when a Gemini is on the scene.



My Gemini Notes: NO DIGGITY it's never boring when a Gem is involved. As a Sadge, Gemini's are my opposite sign. In this case, these opposites have a very strong attraction. I love Gemini's! Reviewing my Facebook friend's list- I can see in the long line of Gem's I know, they are very kind, passionate, outgoing, ready to have a great time- type of folk. As a musician, I often hear from Gemini's through out the course of an open mic night, because I can always count on them to be the first to approach me with a compliment:)

Stay tuned tomorrow Cancer, Leo, and Virgo's!

An Astrological "Full House"

Honestly I'm kind of nervous. If you're reading this right now, I have an audience. I suppose that's the point of having a blog. I really just wanted to start reflecting more on my life as a Sagittarius. My objective is this: How can studying astrology promote self-discovery, and ultimately, a fabulous life? Astrology is something I always took moderate interest in but then some time last year, started following the rules of a little more closely. This is my way of accomplishing my objective. Analyzing my life through a Sagittarian lens.

Day 1

The past 24 hours I have been lucky enough to have a "Full House" of sorts. I've spent the majority of my week with this group: three Pisces and two Sadges. (As a matter of fact. It was two Pisces that inspired me to take this leap into Blogdom. Thank you, loyal friends [a known Pisces trait] for your continued support in this journey.)

Other Social Notes:
Three Pisces- all very close girlfriends of mine. I have known these girls over a span of my lifetime. They are the type of girls you can always pick right back up with and have great times. Any surprise? Not really- they are all Pisces!

Two Sadges- my mother and my boyfriend. These are two of the most important people in my life. I love them. No wonder we all share the same sign?

I am currently sitting with my dear Pisces friend AD. She has made a yummy broccoli pasta and I must pause while I enjoy it. Yesterday Pieces AB. made me pizza. These bitches hook me up:)

Today on Horoscope.com:

Follow your instincts, Sagittarius. Even if you have a tendency to listen more to reason, put it aside today. While your ears hear words, your intuition can hear what's between the words and unsaid, providing you with a bigger picture than whatever is presented. If everything sounds right but feels wrong, you'd be better off trusting your feelings. Act with careful consideration and caution.

Funny...my instincts is what I trust most, but lately I have been falling flat when running with them. I am getting better and I do think this blog can help me accomplish a lot. Even if I am the only one on here, at least I am reflecting on my life as a Sagittarius. I mean, that's gotta be something. OF COURSE YOUR FEEDBACK ALONG WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT YOUR LIFE AS YOUR SIGN IS BENEFICIAL AND ENCOURAGED:)

So here I am...going against reason, listening to my intuition, staring at a bigger picture...time to trust my feelings and when in doubt, check out the stars.
