"All things are interdependent".

The teachings say 'our karmic winds blow, then we are born into a body, place and time'.

Astrology points out the frame of the karmic universe at the time of our birth.

My choice to observe Astrology is an attempt to know the karmic frame that I have. It does not limit me, and/or restrict me. Rather it points out to me those things that are likely to happen too me, and how I may feel. How I react, "my choices" are still mine.

Astrology (for me) is a study of karma and my obstacles for seeking peace, liberation and ultimate consciousness. It is a yogic observance of the nature of the universe and my place within it.

The Archer is really a centaur -- the lower half is horse, the upper half is a man. The man is holding a bow with an arrow aimed upwards toward the sky. This symbolizes the Sagittarian's drive to overcome basic animal instincts by aiming his thoughts into the divine realms of the heavens. In other words, you Archers are hunting for ideas and experiences that draw you into greater awareness. As such, you Sagittarians tend to love adventure, travel and philosophy -- all ways of extending beyond your immediate surroundings.

Motto: "It is better to know how to learn than to know."
Greatest Strength: Your undying optimistic attitude
Possible Weakness: Glossing over problems or avoiding difficult situations

It can be hard to trust others when you have the Moon in Scorpio because you are so sensitive to questions of power and control. You're aware of deep issues that most people don't want to face. You know what it's like to go to the very depths of emotions, both with passion and with fear. You need intensity, even if that means shaking up a relationship at times. That's because you're not satisfied with what lies on the surface. Getting to the bottom of things can disturb others (and you as well)… but it's hard to keep from going where your feelings take you. It's this emotional courage, though, that makes you such a powerful person, able to work through complex matters that most people refuse to face.

Motto: "No one feels more intensely than me."
Greatest Strength: Emotional persistence
Possible Weakness: Shame about your secrets

You're a natural teacher, promoter or salesperson. With Sagittarius Rising you share what you know with high energy and enthusiasm like a preacher or a cheerleader. You tend to blow through the negativity others present by pushing forward your beliefs without showing any doubt. It's this obvious optimism that lifts you and those around you, bringing hope to the darkest of situations. But your natural focus tends to more on the big picture than on little details. Overlooking the small stuff can be a great asset at times because it keeps you from being distracted, but there are circumstances where it's important to bring your focus back from the far end of the horizon to an issue that's right in front of you.

Motto: "If I know something, I'll tell you about it."
Greatest Strength: Inspiring others with positive ideas
Possible Weakness: Coming across as a know-it-all

The valiant Horse loves speed, adventure, freedom and change. Impatient by nature, Horses insist that life revolves around them. When they have a chance to do something great, they will dive in with both hands, but their lack of discernment between promising and not-so-promising opportunities can block their success. Their great sense of humor makes Horses amusing friends. Their intelligence, passion and discipline will create good luck for them.

Mantra: Elegantly I am in the world
