Free weekly horoscope for sun signs

Horoscope - everyone knows what it means. Everyone has heard something about the Zodiac signs, although some people might know not much about planets, stars, not mention the houses, aspects, rising signs, and natal charts. However, everyone is familiar with horoscope composed according to the zodiacal sign he was born under. Ancient Greek astrologist Claudius Ptolemy has connected the 12 Signs of the Zodiac with seasons, events that occur in the nature, and growth of dryness and heat.

"And if we cannot deny but that God hath given virtues to springs and fountains, to cold earth, to plants and stones, minerals, and to the excremental parts of the basest living creatures, why should we rob the beautiful stars of their working powers? For, seeing they are many in number and of eminent beauty and magnitude, we may not think that in the treasury of his wisdom who is infinite there can be wanting, even for every star, a peculiar virtue and operation ; as every herb, plant, fruit, and flower adorning the face of the earth hath the like. For as these were not created to beautify the earth alone and to cover and shadow her dusty face but otherwise for the use of man and beast to feed them and cure them; so were not those uncountable glorious bodies set in the firmament to no other end than to adorn it but for instruments and organs of his divine providence, so far as it hath pleased his just will to determine."

But how closely can astrology predict such things as disasters, devastations, scourges, wars and so on? There are examples when astrologers are rather accurate in their prophecies. On the other hand, some of such "predictions" are far from the truth.

One of Europe's greatest calamities-the Black Death of 1348-was foreseen by two medieval astrologers. John of Bassigney, an English scholar writing in the 1340s, proclaimed that in the year 1352 (a few years late), a pestilence would cover the whole world that would kill about two thirds of the population. His prediction, he said, rested partly on information that he had obtained from other scholars on his travels, and partly on his study of the stars. (It should be mentioned that almost all of John's predictions concerned disasters, devastations, scourges, wars, and the like.)

Another 14th-century scholar, England's John of Eschenden, is supposed to have predicted the Black Death from an eclipse of the Moon and certain planetary conjunctions that occurred in 1345. He stated that the effects of the eclipse would last for eight years and six months, during which time "men and beasts will suffer long diseases and there will be death and many wars and flight; . . . great corruption in the air, and great scarcity of crops from excessive cold and rains and worms."

My son thou shalt understand
That, to avoid all idleness,
This matter oft thou shalt take in hand
To read of shepherd's business;
And special of the planets seven,
Of Mars and Saturn that is full high
Also of Sol, the middle heaven,
And under him Venus, Luna, and Mercury.
For to know their natures all
In sooth it is a great conning,
And show what may befall
When every planet is reigning;
By their working oft we be moved
To look lusty and plays of jollity,
And by some of them as clerks have proved
They steer us to theft, murder, and vility.
Some be good, some be bad verily,
Some be not comfortable to man nor beast;
Some hot, some cold, some wet, some dry,
If three be good, four be worse at the least;
Saturn is highest, and coldest being full bad,
And Mars with his bloody sword, ever ready to kill;
Jupiter very good, and Venus maketh lovers glad,
Sol and Luna is half good and half ill,
Mercury is good, and evil verily.
And hereafter thou shalt know
Which of the seven most worthy be,
And who reigneth high and who a-low;
Of every planet's property-
Which is the best among them all
That causeth wealth, sorrow, or sin.
Tarry and here, son thou shall
Speak soft, for now I begin.
