New Astrology Combines Western With Chinese Signs
London – 14.01.09 – Leading astrologers of the world have come up with a new astrology that has as many as 144 signs.
The formation of the new astrology is quite simple, they say. According to them “the new astrology blends Western signs with Chinese signs and comes up with 144 new signs”.
Such blend is not complex either according to the astrologers. If you are a Leo and you were born in Ox year, your sign will be Leo/Ox according to the new astrology.
“Take your regular, familiar astrological sign and match it with the animal sign of the year you were born. Now you have your New Astrology sign”, says one of the proponents of the new astrological system.
Basic concept of the new astrology is based on the inherent dual nature in every human being. A person could be a miser for some and a benevolent for others at the same time and this shows their dual complexity according to the astrologers.
“Benefits of the new astrology is that you can easily assess the compatibility of the signs with the new combinations”, say astrologers. To establish the theorem they give the example of the Gemini/Rat and Capricorn/Horse. These two combinations are largely incompatible to each other. The former, they say, “Are a protective person who enjoys having power over others”. The later, according to them “are animal lovers and work patiently with old people as well.”
It is widely believed in the astrological circles that the New Astrology is a revolutionary method of assessing yourself as well as others with the judicious blending of the two major astrological systems of the world. The methods try to help us appreciate human behavior through combination of occidental and oriental processes.
However the two astrological systems vastly vary from each other. While the Western astrologers use 100 year time span for centuries, the Chinese use only 60 years for that. Again the Western century is divided into ten decades while the Chinese sixty year is divided into five twelve year period.
Astrologers still believe that judicious combination of the Western “month” sign with the Oriental “year” signs are complements to each other fulfilling your end objective of exact calculations and predictions.
Jupiter’s Moves To Aquarius In January 2009
Los Angeles – 09.01.09 – Jupiter moving to Aquarius on 5th January 2009 has major significance, says prominent astrologer Molly Hall.
Jupiter according to astrologers signifies faith, luck, vision, optimism, truth, luck, as well as buoyant spirit. Aquarius on its turn signifies originality, ideologies, technological advancement, mind games, compassion, foresight, glamour, friendship, collaboration, awakening, and risk, they point out.
“The mood of 2009 will be more about coming together and sharing visions for the future, than it was in stoically persevering Capricorn”, says Molly Hall. “Jupiter sets the guiding principle for the year, what pulls the society as a whole toward growth and high spirits”, she continues.
Astrologers believe that in Aquarius you will be seeing unusual twists and turns that come on shared path. The nature of Aquarius is known to be anti-establishment and anti-status quo. There could be exciting and unexpected incidents and breakthroughs coming up.
Expectations among the learned circles are for innovations that could bring up radical changes in the society. At the same time they could also expand the visions of working of the universe.
“Jupiter seeks to widen the breadth of vision, and in Aquarius, that’s likely to open doors to the cosmos, with new perspectives on the nature of time”, comments Molly Hall again.
Many astrologers also believe that the year 2009 is going to bring all good news for the Aquarians as a result of the Jupiter moving to Aquarius.
“It’s a pleasure to tell you your next 12 months are glorious! That’s because lucky moneybags Jupiter enters your sign on Jan. 5 and stays there until Jan. 19, 2010. This wonderful blessing of good fortune happens once every 12 years, which means you might experience this maybe five times in your adult life” observes prominent astrologer Georgia Nicols.
At the same time it is expected to be one of the best years ever for en mass brainstorming. The combination of Jupiter with Aquarius enhances the power of collective efforts like reforms and revolution. Jupiter that rules faith can bring up more hope and optimism for the human race while revealing new power forms.
Mundane Astrology To Analyze World Events
Los Angeles – 7.1.09 – Astrologers adopt Mundane astrology as the application to analyze world events and world affairs. 
Over the years astrologers have been practicing Mundane astrology for such purposes. It takes the name from the Latin world Mundus that means “the world”.
“Mundane astrology is a branch of Judicial astrology and is widely believed by astrological historians to be the most ancient branch of astrology”, according to the definition of the terminology advanced by experts.
History shows that in the medieval era, this branch of astrology was known as the study of revolutions. The study in those days was made on the basis of planetary configurations and orbits around the earth, according to the astrologers.
Astrologers further specify that there are two major approaches to the astrological study. The first approach concentrates its focus on the national horoscope or the astrological chart of the country. The impacts of the transiting planet on the horoscope is assessed and the analysis is put in place, say the astrologers.
The second approach according to them is the “ancient practice of finding correlations that exist between geological phenomena and astronomical phenomena”. This means the relationship between events like earthquake, cyclone, volcanic eruptions and war on one hand and the planetary transitions on the other is studied by the astrologers according to this approach.
Astrologers widely believe that the fundamentals of Mundane astrology were set up by the Greek astrologer Ptolemy in 120 AD in his famous creation, the “Tetrabiblos”. Mundane astrology since then has been used to explain history in its perspectives and assessment of momentous events like the rise and fall of empires.
Since the 20th century the astrologers are basing their studies on planetary cycles rather than on the planetary positions in horoscopes or natal charts.
Some of the interesting predictions made with Mundane astrology has been the occurrence of the economic tsunami in 2008 and Barrack Obama coming to power in United States as President. Astrologers continue to put their faith on Mundane Astrology for predicting such events across the globe.
