Angelina Jolie’s fame, while it began with movies, now includes kids. Can we see the prominence of kids in her horoscope?

In astrology we always look at the Moon to get some insight into what’s going on with children in a person’s life. Is it possible to see in her horoscope the potential for many kids? Well if Jupiter were strongly connected to her Moon that would be a good indicator from astrology. Jupiter not only relates to having “a lot” of whatever it is focused on, but it also is the planet to do with foreign cultures (An attribute that could be said to be relevant in Angelina Jolie’s horoscope).

In fact we find astrology makes very clear assertions about children in her horoscope and in fact it has to be said that her situation with kids fits her horoscope exceptionally well. Even Brad fits in very well and the planet relating to children is a strong point of connection for them both.

When we look at success in astrology we look at the planet Jupiter. While Jupiter can play many roles in a horoscope, when it is positively connected to our main activity in life then we are likely to experience a more enjoyable and successful time in that pursuit.

In the four horoscopes reviewed in this video we look at the placement and role of Jupiter in them. It is interesting to notice how success is more personally experienced when Jupiter is strongly linked to the Sun. It raises the distinction of whether or not to “be success” or to “do success” as the last example in the video implies.

The examples given in this horoscope shows how Jupiter can bring out different traits even when it has a similar placement in three of these examples. The final example highlights a person who has had to be somewhat careful in how they negotiate their success potential.

It can be handy to know where Jupiter is in your own horoscope and then check if you are in a context, and doing those things, most likely to harness Jupiter’s success power.

The Aim of my Videos

I thought I would have look at what my videos are aiming to achieve. Essentially, I am using a tool I created to help examine horoscopes in a way that makes it relatively easy to learn and assess basic astrology. (I am refining it at this time and will soon make it available for purchase).

I chose the astrological methods I use for two reasons; they are the simplest and they are effective (in my experience). This approach also serves to make astrology more accessible to people interested in the subject but don’t have the time to learn it in depth. I must also mention that I do not agree with some of the traditional concepts that are generally applied to astrology and this is reflected in the interface I use.

Why Famous People

Looking at the horoscopes of famous people serves a valuable purpose in terms of learning about astrology. Because the lives of famous people are so well known it is easier to see how accurately their horoscopes match up with them and their lives.

A lot of relevant factors can be hidden in a person’s life; Bernie Madoff is an excellent example of how significant ‘what was hidden’ can be. An astrologer would have been in an invidious situation to say there was a serious risk of losing money investing with him. Up until his fraud was exposed, most of his investors would have regarded the idea as laughable – big black mark for astrology. This is a good example of some of the rockier issues astrology has to negotiate. Time can reveal things that astrology identitifies, but that can take a while to come through.

I did a horoscope for a lady and mentioned “books” as featuring in her life. I met her by accident 12 years later. She recognized me in a shop I was browsing in; it was her shop, it was a book shop. She remembered my session with her quite well; although she found our session to be a good, she remembered how wrong I was about “books” being in her life – there were none. We had a good laugh at the turn around. Although a trait may be pointed out accurately by astrology, it can take time for it to emerge in one’s life.

Ultimately astrology can be pointing to a specific trait in a person and it may be denied to exist or it may not have developed yet in their life. Furthermore, their circumstances may not allow it much scope.

I looked at the horoscope of a child born to a friend of mine. After mentioning a few points about the horoscope I said the child had tremendous creative potential; he could even become a director of an arts centre. We lost touch for a few years and when we met again I asked about her boy and how he was progressing towards becoming an “arts centre director” (at this stage he was 5 years old). She said, “Quite well.” Puzzled, I asked for the rest of the story. She said, “We had to buy him a grand piano.” She went on to say that her child was apparently a musical prodigy and could play classical music on the piano.

The important point here is, that child has excellent prospects for fulfilling the potentials indicated by his horoscope as his parents are quite well-off. However, even when a child does not have an ideal level of support, it is surprising how many still find their way to fulfilling much of their potential; Elvis Presley and Oprah Winfrey are great examples of this.

Still Not Easy

There are a number of problems astrology has that make it easy to dismiss and hard to fathom. In spite of this I have found for many years a consistency that is hard to avoid. Overall I think it takes time to understand astrology well-enough to evaluate it dispassionately. However, once understood astrology has a lot to say that can yield real value. I hope my efforts will make that value more apparent to those of you interested in learning more.

In my next article I will be talking about the language of astrology and after that I’ll take a closer look at more of the problems for astrologers and critics.

At the most basic level, Astrology provides insights that are surprising in what they candidly reveal. By examining horoscopes at the simplest level we can see just how powerful Astrology can be.

In the horoscope of George W. Bush we see that his Sun is in Cancer, making him a Cancerian, but also in this sign is the planet Saturn. Cancer traditionally presents an emotional nature – except when they retreat into a “hard shell”.

The influence of Saturn tends to be one of coldness, harshness and restriction; as well as toughness and austerity. This can lead to a diminution of Cancer’s more compassionate side; and the notion of “tough love” can gain the upper hand.

Also, the otherwise likeable side of Cancer is diminished due to Saturn’s rather bleak astrological nature. However, such an individual is likely to perceive themselves as someone that can make “the tough decisions”.

In addition, Saturn tends to attract negative opinion without too much effort; especially given its prominent placement in this horoscope.

We see a strong connection between Mercury and Pluto in Leo. This combination, as well as indicating a capacity for political leadership, can also relate to making “life and death” choices. As Governor of Texas, George Bush chose to sanction 131 death sentences, in spite of serious questions as to the validity of many of these cases. (Click for more information on this point.)

Saturn can add a quality of ruthlessness to one’s nature and Leo, a presumption of righteousness. This combination can lead to actions of apparent indifference. Perhaps George W. Bush had special insight into the egregiously flawed cases before him or perhaps he was unwilling to challenge the legal system of his state. But his horoscope shows a capacity to make harsh, even brutal, choices.

There are other factors in his horoscope that both promote and diminish the capacity for compassion. There is in fact a broad interest in the public, at large; but also a further repression of expressing personal care and goodwill.

Whilst other more benign ways of expressing the potential of this horoscope exist, perhaps the context of his life suggested a harsher course. Many people support an uncompromising stance, but in adopting such a position the value and relevance of justice for the individual can be lost; a potential that certainly exists in this horoscope.

Success, Failure and Astrology

It is a common story; a person succeeds at one thing, tries something else – where they think should succeed – and fail completely. This is true for businesses as well. But does astrology play a role and, if so, how can that be utilized effectively; especially where astrology may not be “accepted”.

IBM versus Canon

IBM thought it had the technological power to expand into selling photocopying machines in the 70s. Canon, an overseas-based company, was IBM’s only real competition. Unfortunately for IBM the horoscope of Canon indicated greater success in the “image” business than IBM could as easily achieve. Despite its disadvantages, Canon eventually dominated the photocopying market in the USA during this period.

Missed the Importance of Visual Power

All of this information can be seen in their horoscopes. Astrologically, IBM had options in its horoscope to challenge Canon more vigorously, but they were not utilized. As an example, their marketing slogan for photocopying machines would have been more effective with something like “See” rather than “Think”. Their astrological strength involved harnessing Neptune’s visual power; as strange as that may sound, IBM did not project strength as a ‘visual’ technology, rather mostly as a ‘computing’ technology. They missed the boat.

Underutilized Astrological Assets

In essence, IBM did not utilise the full potential of its horoscope by not using some of its astrological assets. Also, if IBM had referenced astrology in their strategic planning they could have learned that Canon competes better in the business sector than in the public one; perhaps such information might have influenced their marketing strategy.

Belief in Astrology is Not a Requirement

Astrology poses a problem for a lot of people because they accept the opinion that it has no validity. Yet numerous investigators have attempted to prove it to be false and significant numbers (of very intelligent people) discover that disproving it is not so easy; neither is proving it, as much in its orbit is subjective. By looking at numerous horoscopes of people (and companies) that have had an impact, we can usually see striking correlations between their actions and their horoscopes. From this emerges the incentive to check if what we are doing resonates with astrology.

Even if we do not accept astrology as valid, nevertheless horoscopes can provide a thoughtful alternate “voice” that can suggest ideas and approaches; as the IBM/Canon example shows.
