No matter what the situation is, I’m always looking out and being there for anyone and they don’t have to be someone that I’m extremely close to; that’s just me in general. I wouldn’t necessarily define myself as being moody 99.9% of the time, I’m only moody when I’m irritated by something/someone. When I’m dealing with problems of my own, I have the tendency to hold all my emotions in. I’m sensitive and caring, and most of the time I let my emotions get the best of me. Being a cancer has it’s pros and cons, but mostly pros. The fact that we’re loyal to our loved ones is a huge pro in our book.

...CONSTELLATIONS and ASTROLOGICAL SIGNS * What is a Constellation? * A constellation is a group of stars that appears to form a pattern or picture like Orion the Great Hunter, Leo the Lion, or Taurus the Bull. Constellations are easily recognizable patterns that help people orient themselves using the night sky. * In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere. These areas are grouped around asterisms, patterns formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another on Earth's night sky. * The constellation Orion is one of the most recognizable in the night sky. * There are 88 standard constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) since 1922. The majority of these go back to the 48 constellations defined by Ptolemy in his Almagest (2nd century). The remaining ones were defined in the 17th and 18th century; the most recent ones are found on the southern sky, defined in Coelum australe stelliferum by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille (1763). * There are also numerous historical constellations not recognized by the IAU, or constellations recognized in regional traditions of astronomy or astrology, such as Chinese, Hindu or Austral Aboriginal. * Are the Stars in a Constellation near each other? * Not necessarily. Each constellation is a collection of stars that are distributed in space in three dimensions – the stars are all different distances from Earth. The stars in a...

...Regina K. Williams Susan Lowman-Thomas English 101 6 September 2015 The Truth about Astrology Astrology has been in existence for centuries, and its controversy over its relevance. The history of astrology began with the Babylonians, they are credited for the creation of astrology. Their astrological charts enabled them to predict the recurrence of seasons and coming celestial events. Astrology was also used to bring a sense of order out of apparent chaos, it was soon utilized to predict weather patterns, primarily for agricultural purposes. It was eventually broadened to include forecasts of natural disasters and war and other events in the course of human affairs. Amassing successes in these fields, it was a natural progression for astrology to be used as counsel for kings and emperors and in time, for all of us. “Astrology is one of the most ancient sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the wise and the great. Formerly, no prince would make war or peace, nor any general fight in battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an astrologer."- Benjamin Franklin Character traits of an individual are strongly effected by astrology. Learning in depth information related to astrology can help assist with relating with others. Individuals who have a strong Understanding of Astrological signs tend to have a clear understanding of themselves. When studding the science of Astrology, it very important to know the time of a person’s birth...

...Numerous people confuse astrology with astronomy when they actually have several differences. Mankind's known history of the universe and today's scientific knowledge are ways to tell the two apart. Astronomy is the study of matter outside the Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomy studies the chemical and physical properties of outer space. Astrology also studies the effects of apparent influence of the stars on human life. The position and movement of stars throughout the night sky determine the effects. Although astrology and astronomy both study celestial objects, astronomy is different because astronomy studies the actual bodies and the physical effects their motions have on the Earth and other planets. Before the time of astronomy, most people believe the Earth was flat. Most cultures also believe they were in the center of the universe and all life gravitates around them. Aristarchus is one of the first people to voice his belief that the world revolves around the sun and not the other way around. People ridicule such outrageous remarks, so they disregard Aristarchus’ vision for some time. That is until around the 1500s, when Nicolaus Copernicus creates the first heliocentric model of our solar system. In this model, the sun is not the center of the model, but actually slightly off center towards one side. Galileo is extremely well known in the astronomical world. He introduces the law of time and how objects at such given distances can be easily measured by time. Galileo creates...

In Greek and Roman mythology hey relate the constellation to Demeter, mother of Persephone, or Proserpina in Roman, the goddess of the harvest.

...My favorite constellation is Sagittarius, or "The Archer" because it's my zodiac sign. Sagittarius is the largest constellation in the Southern Hemisphere, making it the fifteenth largest constellation overall. It's located at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy and its brightest stars form a teapot. This infamous constellation, often depicted as being a centaur holding a bow and arrow, was catalogued in the 2nd century by the Greek astronomer, Ptolemy. Though Sagittarius is a constellation like all the rest, it's unique shape comes with a fascinating story of how it came to be. A long time ago, there was once a centaur named Chiron. Chiron was renowned for his gentleness and archery skills. However, one day, Hercules accidentally shot and wounded Chiron with an arrow dipped in the poison of the Lernaean Hydra. Though Chiron had excellent healing skills, his pain was too great to be healed. Since he was immortal and could not die, he requested to take the place of Prometheus. Prometheus had been punished for bringing fire to Earth and would get his liver devoured day after day. After the switch had been made, Jupiter put Chiron in the stars as recognition for his righteousness. There was once a Roman god by the name of Vyaos. Vyaos was rather unpredictable. At times he...

...My favorite constellation is the constellation Andromeda, which portrays the Princess Andromeda chained to a rock as she awaits her fate. It attracted my attention from the moment I first learned about it, due to the thrilling myth which accompanies it and the stunning galaxy it contains- The Andromeda Galaxy. The constellation Andromeda is capable of being viewed from both hemispheres and The Andromeda Galaxy- a spiral galaxy that is approximately 2.4 million light-years away- is the most distant object which can be seen by the naked eye. The creation myth of the constellation Andromeda arose from Greek Mythology. In this particular myth, Andromeda is the daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassieopia, rulers of Aethiopia. Queen Cassieopia was extremely boastful, and, being a bit of a fool, once boasted that her daughter Andromeda was more beautiful than the Nereids. Upon hearing this the Nerieds were full of rage and informed Poseidon of this, who was filled with nearly as much rage open hearing this as the Nerieds had been. Thus, he sent a sea monster out to destroy Aethiopia as an act of petty revenge. As the land was being destroyed, King Cepheus, desperate for a way to stop this beast, consulted with Ammon, who informed him that the only way to appease the beast was to sacrifice his virgin daughter, Andromeda. Andromeda was then stripped and chained to a rock. Luckily for her, Perseus happened to be nearby, and rescued her after slaying the monster, having been promised...

...characteristics of my zodiac sign. One of my favorite zodiac blogs is zodiac signs by Crystal Melbourne, a professional astrologer. I look at her Tumblr blog daily and sometimes multiple times during the day. It wasn’t until two weeks ago when I joined this class that I thought about how it can be categorized as a discourse community. A discourse community is a group of people that share a set of beliefs and understandings. In this essay, that we all as a class are required to write, I will be dissecting the different parts of this Tumblr blog that make it a discourse community. Before going too far into the rhetorical situation of this blog, I will give a little bit of background for those newbies out there who have no clue what astrology or a horoscope is. I will also give you some of the important language that will be found throughout this essay. First off, astrology is the study of the positions and relationships of the sun, moon, stars, and planets in order to judge their influence on human actions. A horoscope is a diagram of the heavens, showing the relative position of planets and the signs of the zodiac, for use in calculating births, foretelling events in a person’s life, etc. Zodiac is an imaginary belt of the heavens, extending about 8° on each side of the ecliptic, within which are the apparent paths of the sun, moon, and principal planets. It contains twelve constellations and hence twelve divisions called signs of the zodiac. The 12 signs of the zodiac are Aries, Taurus...
