The Planets
( Added: Wed Jan 03 2007 Hits: 48)
|
| The Sun, the Moon and the eight major planets of the Universe form the
basis for all astrology-related studies and analysis. The energies of these
planets affect our lives in many different ways. In ancient times only the seven
planets-namely Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were
used for astrology purposes. Only in the last few centuries man has
discovered the three outer planets of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and
introduced them into his astrological studies. |

Neptune
( Added: Wed Jan 03 2007 Hits: 50)
|
| Neptune takes about 14 years to travel through one sign of the zodiac and
84 years to complete half a cycle around the zodiac. Neptune takes about
164 years to complete its cycle through all twelve signs. The energy of
Neptune is very slow and nebulous. It can shroud us in mystery, heighten our
spiritual awareness or drive us to the depths of despair. The energy of
Neptune is very difficult to understand or grasp unlike the other planets. As it
is far away from the earth, its energy takes time to reach the earth or it gets
dissipated on the way according to Astrologers. |
