It was common practice for the emperor to consult the oracles before making any major decisions. An example of this is the origin of the Olympic Games, so named for Mount Olympus, where the Gods were thought to reside.
The Emperors were widely believed by the common people to be put on the throne by the power of the gods (much like the British Royal Family) and if someone sought to disfavor the Emperor in the eyes of the senate and the people, they often started rumors that the Emperor had fallen from favor with the gods.
There have always been cynics, of course. Even before the rise of Rome as we know it Religion was considered by many scholars in ancient Greece and Macedon (Aristotle, most famously.) The situation in Ancient Rome could best be described with the famous quote by Lucius Seneca not long before the rise of the Christian Rome; "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." ]]>
]]>Do you really have to thank God with people always misunderstanding you? Gemini rising is really a difficult placement for a Scorpio sun. People tend to hurt you without fear when they are annoyed by you for some reason, just because you seem very childish to them and they don’t really understand how serious you are in the inside.
You appear to take everything very easily and that gets people to play at your emotions, but the hell with it, it will be really good if only they just understood how desperate you are to understand reality behind the masks of people.
Well, your Moon sign lightens you up more, but then, to tell you the truth, Gemini rising is not a very good thing to have for a Scorpio Sun sign, if you are careless enough to ignore the negative possibilities it poses to your life. But if you plan yourself properly and behave more according to your Sun sign even when you are around a lot of people, then you can be fine.
Sorry dude, to have made such negative statements when you are in fact in a positive note about the placements of your planets (or luminaries). Still I felt it is important to say to you how important it is to you to make your Ascendant placement positive to you, because if you leave it to the wind then you will most probably face problems. But if you patiently maneuver it well, then this placement can be very positive to you in unexpected ways (unless you are too good with Astrology to expect it). So, you are right, you should thank God for this, just as we all should. ]]>
The Sun is the essence of who you are. Everything else in the chart must bow to the Sun, to a point. Although other planets’ positions indicate other traits, they all must be considered under the parameters of the Sun sign. So as an example, perhaps I might find you are a quick acting person… and so I say to myself, quick acting for a Taurus. Now if you had the same traits as an Aries, it would mean something a little different, because Aries is already naturally quick to act.
The Moon is your inner self, how you feel & process your emotions, your deepest recesses of your heart. It is the second most important planet in astrology. (We know the sun & moon are not planets, but we call them that for ease of communication.) If you have a Cancer Moon, you have ready access to your feelings. If you have a Taurus Moon, you may be slow to process your feelings. And on and on…
The Rising Sign is your face to the world, how the world sees you and how you filter the way you see the world. In a way of speaking, the Rising Sign is your first foot forward, the face you wear in public. Usually your Rising Sign is different than your Sun Sign, unless you were born at sunrise. When people play "Guess your sign" they are often guessing a person’s Rising Sign.
These are the three most important parts of a chart.
]]>Your Moon sign represents your emotions. How you deal with them, handle them, how you feel. You can be an Aquarius Sun, but with a Canceran moon, you can be very emotional.
Your Rising/Ascendant is the sign that was on the horizon at the time of your birth. It is how others view you, your ‘shell’ to the outside world, what others think you are. It also contributes to how you act, and your personality.
The planet placements are determined by what ‘area’ of sign the planet was in when you were born. So Venus in Gemini means that Venus was in the sign of Gemini when you were born.
~ I suggest you visit astro.com and type in your DOB, time and place of birth, this will determine your full natal birth chart and all your placements.
]]>The total 3no. things, Date of birth, Place of Birth & Time of Birth are required for making your horoscope. If out of this, any one is not available, the natal chart / horoscope may not be made. Approx. time / place would not give proper reading.
The western astrology is based on Sun sign & the Indian one is based on Moon Sign.
Moon being the planet for MIND, it gives the true readings, as everything happens in our mind, everything first comes to our mind & then we think further.
Mind is mainly responsible for all our good / bad wishes, activities / likes & dislikes.
Now, Sun represents your health, status, your father etc. etc.
The Ascendant is the sign no. in your 1st house.
The Ascendant represents your personality, how you are now etc. If there’s a Hot Planet like Sun / Mars etc. you will be an angry one, a person who is a restless.
If moon– a cool & quiet one, if Venus, an artist of any type, if mercury– an unstable, dual minded but a gossiper one.
Ok?
