How
to Treat your Aries |
|
|
|
 Your
Aries is a highly intuitive, fiery, fast-acting, independent person
who needs freedom above all. Aries people can stand alone in the
world, and take pride in their ability to go through life without
leaning on others. They always have a plan of action. If your Aries
is not moving fast physically, you can be sure that mind is brimming
with ideas. For Aries, the head is what it's all about, and Aries
wants to put every idea into motion.
Let
your Aries know how wonderful and special she/he is. In spite of
that bold, confident appearance, or perhaps because of it, Aries can
be somewhat the loner and not get support when needed. Also, your
Aries may never feel truly complete or accomplished at anything
because of the high standards he sets for himself. So, feed him with
praise to boost his ego, and offer your loving encouragement to fan
her passionate fire. Then, allow your Aries to follow those dreams,
and offer helpful pointers and solutions wherever needed. You might
feel invisible and unappreciated, but don't despair. Your Aries feels
as if you are a part of her, and so may not understand the need to
show gratitude. Just notice the way she glows inside when you give
your advice, or the loving looks he gives you, and his determination
to do even more. To Aries, this is the biggest thank you of all.
Most
importantly, do everything possible to make your Aries feel
unfettered. Like all fire signs, Aries can't stand to be led around
or confined - unless as a means to an end. Let your Aries come up
with the idea first, if possible. Otherwise, if you want your Aries
to do something, ask gently! Your Aries has a passionate heart and
the best of intentions, yet is a very sensitive, instinctual and
intuitive individual. Your thoughtful love will be rewarded with
heroic efforts and a proud devotion to your needs.

How
to Treat your Taurus |
|
|
|
 Taurus
looks strong on the outside - sturdy and sensual, but is a truly
needy individual. What your Taurus needs, day in and day out is love
and nurturing - in the form of food and comfort, a peaceful or
artistic atmosphere, and music.
The
Taurus thrives on creature comforts and beauty. That is why money is
considered to be important to Taureans. It is merely a means to an
end! More money amounts to more cozy and luxurious surroundings for
our soft hearted friend.
If
you watch cows, you'll understand Taurus. Taurus looks tough and
unapproachable, but has those soft, sweetly soothing eyes that you
just have to love. Taurus eats, then mosies off to get comfortable
and wait patiently for attention to come her way. Taurus does not
want to work very hard, and will always find the most expedient way
to get what she wants - even if it means turning into a hot-tempered bull.
The
Taurus will fool you into believing that he's perfectly content, but
watch out! He patiently waits for what he needs, then - assuming you
are aware of his every desire - he blows up unexpectedly over some
tiny oversight when patience suddenly runs out. That's why it's good
to check in on your Taurus frequently to make sure he feels cared for
in every way... no sense testing him to the limit!
Feed
your Taurus with good food, romantic music, respectful pampering and
your undying devotion and loyalty. Don't make sudden moves or
changes, and don't disturb your Taureans peaceful or comfortable
moments. Remind your Taurus that you need pampering too - Taurus just
loves to spoil you! You will be rewarded with a passionate, romantic,
sensuous and eternal love.

The
Emperor and Empress in the Tarot |
|
|
|
 The
Emperor is associated with Aries in the Tarot
~
Benevolent Rulers ~
All
decked out in their finest... ready to show the world who's boss -
the Empress and Emperor may seem haughty, imposing and
unapproachable. Just as parents who must give their children a sense
of security, boundaries and safety - the ruling pair need to elicit a
feeling of respect from those who rely on them - thus the air of
authority, and the appearance that commands respect.
What
they have to offer us is what we would expect from anyone with
ultimate power over our surroundings - protection. The Empress
nurtures and defends us like a doting mother or big sister, and the
Emperor protects and defends, just as a father or big brother would.
Not
only are they protectors, they also help determine our social.
reality. The Empress is Queen-mother - she is fertility, creativity,
and emotional power. The Emperor is King-father - he is virility,
authority and earthly power. Together they create a home, a kingdom,
a realm of influence. Without them we have chaos and anarchy.
Our
personal perspectives regarding these archetypes is relative to our
experience. To a child, her mother may be Empress, or perhaps her
grandmother. To a student in class, the teacher may be Emperor or
Empress. To the masses, a head of state serves as Emperor or Empress.
To a worker, the boss may be absolute ruler. To a very
spiritual/religious soul - the heavenly powers alone are capable of
filling these shoes.
What
sets them apart from mere Kings or Queens is the great, irrefutable
power and authority they represent. They are more symbols to us than
human beings. They command our respect and reverence - and their
gifts to us are sustaining and powerful. The karmic implications of
their existence in our lives is great. Anyone who we perceive in this
light is more than a person to us - but representative of something greater.
To
really get in touch with the energies of these archetypes, think
back to when you were a small child looking up to your parents - when
they had absolute control that you would not dream of challenging.
Alternately - remember a revered teacher or other adult in your life.
As an adult parent - you might consider your image as Emperor or
Empress to your child. The Empress has the power to create life - and
not just human life. Empress is ruler over the inner life - the
emotions, the family traditions, and the structure of home and
family. The Emperor maintains, supports and defends this structure.
He represents the governing forces and protective devices we need to
insulate our world from unwanted outside influences. As archetypes
representing people, together, they are nurturers and protectors. As
archetypes representing a personal reality - they are the ability or
need to create and nurture (Empress) and to maintain order (Emperor).
In
the grand scheme of things, they are our Cosmic Parents... and we
can be those parents, and also experience them through others - in
any number of situations and areas of our lives.

Mewsings
from Venus & Mars... April 2007 |
|
 |
|
Mars
in Aquarius - Feb, 26 - Apr. 6 may bring unpredictable, rash
behaviour in men (or women). While great things can be accomplished,
some may wish to go too far. Take good care of each other - remind
your risk-taker to be careful!
Mars
in Pisces - Apr. 6 - May 15 is passionate and spiritual,
sensitive and inspired. This Mars is inclined to fight for a cause.
Those who are easily swayed must beware while Mars is in Pisces. Take
the time to think deeply and carefully before acting, and be true to
your own heart!
Venus
in Taurus - Mar.18 - Apr.12 is sensual and sweet, romantic and
desirous of touching and pampering. With Mars in Aquarius (til 4/6),
he can do much to keep her interested by using his imagination, and
surprising her! Just don't take it beyond her comfort level. She may
be more likely to respond to those little touches that bring warmth,
comfort and beauty to her surroundings. While Mars is in Pisces, her
sensual nature will respond to his passion and sensitivity. This is a
great time for being close to nature and absorbing all that is
beuatiful in life.
Venus
in Gemini - Apr. 12 - May 8 is fun-loving and looking for
friendship. This can be disconcerting for Mars in Pisces if his
interests don't match hers - but if they do and both are open to
doing things together, great fun may be in store for everyone!! Guys
are advised to enjoy her wit and humor, and remember to laugh at
everything... why be serious?
