Clock your life ‐ minute by minute‐day by day‐year by year. Thinking about this is exhausting and yet scientists have proven that there is no such thing as lateral time. Everything happens all at once‐it is our minds that break down the events of our lives. And how is this done/ each one of us will have a different approach. The certainty of this is in your birth chart. The planets, its dance with each other, are a reflection of you. And as an astrologer I witness this simply by interpreting a chart and now you can too! Whether you are a Fire, Water, Earth Or Air Sign You Can Find Happiness In Every Moment of life! I am also wanting to show you how to turn despair and emotional negativity into a positive and necessary evil so to speak. We are all perfect just the way we are. We have strength and gifts to share and if not shared then you will positively feel Misplaced, unfulfilled and unsatisfied. Finding your place is the key and by the end of these series of articles you will be much closer to that place then you are now. In fact you may be in that place right now and not even know it‐ let's find out.

Ok Lets get started! A little bit of basic info, on what each major planet represents. Remember the planet nor signs make up who you are, nor do they control who you are. They reflect who you all ready are. Like looking in a mirror. The mirror and your ability to see visually and record that image you see in that mirror is a reflection of your physical self. The mirror does not "make" your image. Again, another book.

Sun‐ This is the sign you are born to learn. Like a new outfit. The question is, are you squeezing into this outfit? Or maybe you try it on and it fits but, mmm, is it you? In most cases the answer will be..."not quite". And that is perfect! Because you are learning the characteristics of that sign. Very simple yes?

Moon‐ The Moon Sign is your emotional kneejerk reaction to daily life. It also represents the characteristics you came into this life with.

Mercury‐This represents how you communicate and how you "hear" others. How you learn and share your knowledge and your gifts.

FIRE‐Aries/Leo/Sag DO NOT BE AFRAID TO BE POWERFULL!

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight. ~Orison Swett Marden

☼SUN‐If you are a newbie at being a Fire Sign, meaning‐you have no other planet in the FIRE sign in your birth chart. . Then this is an adventure for you! So hope your enjoying the ride! As a new baby FIRE you are here to acquire courage, strength, leadership and a philosophy that is truly your own. Fuelled by fire‐ you have its magical strength and passion to Go Do and BE! To light up your world and those around you. Your past life role will determine the ease of this fit. Remember the Sun sign is an outfit, a costume it is not the whole of you! So do look up your moon sign, for past life influences.

And as a Fire Sign, your goal will be to fight for first place. Nothing else will do. And you have the gift. In fact you have the gift to make winners out of everyone else around you if only by example. Now that's a win win situation. The battle field only appears in life when he/she believes in order for a winner there must be a loser. Learning that we cannot make losers of others‐only can they make losers of themselves is another amazing lesson for Fire. If you have many other planets in the Fire element then you are already comfortable with this outfit, in fact it maybe a little worn out and in this lifetime you are here to repair it and make it new again, better than before‐like new and improved me! Adding to your courage, your passion, your adventure! You are here to lead others into a win win situation. And if you are finding life is a battle field and your adventures not at all fun and games, then life is giving you a red flag‐ then rest assure at the end of this section we will reveal the secrets to rid the red flags and even the white flags. Because a Fire Sign never gives in or gives up. If you are surrendering then it is to surrender to the battlefield‐we do not want to create losers in order to feel we have won, now do we. You are an infinite being. Perfect just as you are. No one is as innocently fresh and courageous as you! You are an empowering being!

¡MOON‐ If you are a believer of past lives then you may relate to the idea that you acquired the Fire qualities. If you have Mercury/Mars and/or Venus in a Fire Sign as well, then you have been successful in not only using your ability to create win win situations but you have demonstrated courage and strength earning metals of honor. And this will be presented to you in this lifetime through the many wonderful friends and or family you acquire. You will have a few very important souls cross your path that you will feel an instant connection with. And the Karmic "metal" is paid forward. Write down all the people in your life that you would consider your hero. Some one that helped you believe, rescued you or taught you a valuable lesson. This may be people that spend but a moment in your life, a family member or a long life friend. In many cases with the Moon strong in your

123

chart this will come from women in your life. Emotionally you are quick to temper anger easily and display your anger with aggression. Slamming doors, screaming, basically anything healthy that allows you to rid the Fight or Flight chemical‐"adrenalin" out of your system. Once that is done you are fine, you feel better, you quickly get over your frustrations…others may not but that's another chapter…for them.

MEN‐Emotionally you will be attracted to strong women or women that need to be rescued. And like wise this type of women are attracted to you. You may find that other women in your lover's lives will come across as strong, masculine and driven. WOMEN‐If you are a Women Fire/Moon you will also find that strong women gravitate towards you because subconsciously they feel safe around you. You may also help lovers deal with and stand up to strong women in their lives.

£MERCURY‐ If your Moon and/or Sun is NOT in the sign of a Fire Sign and you have Mercury in a Fire then you have developed the courage to speak your mind long before this life time. And you definitely say what is on your mind. You even say what is on another's mind if they are shy, wounded, introverted etc. You have the ability to stand up for others, become their hero through how you communicate.

Journal Tip! At the end of these series there would be a free Journaling Book‐Each day before you journal, write down the first Fear Saying‐then the next and the next and so on… Since one of the main attributes to overcome for a Fire Sign is Fear.
