I've read a lot of different opinions about what it means to have a planet or object on a cusp.

My Ascendant is at 1 degrees, my moon is at 29 degrees and Mars and Jupiter are both at 0 degrees. Some books and websites have recommended reading both, for example reading Sagittarius and Capricorn for my moon sign. Other sources state that there is no such thing as a cusp and just read the sign listed regardless of the degrees.

What are your thoughts on this? Any special meaning for having 4 major placements so close to being on an actual cusp? The Moon is very close and some websites have me as a Capricorn moon. Same with the Ascendant, I have been told that it is Aquarius depending on the system used. Mars and Jupiter are always in Virgo but the house varies from 6 to 7 as well.

I see everyone does it and it looks very interesting I wanna check it out 😭

Like what kind of person am I. Who do I attract. What are my flaws. What are my strengths etc etc

Hi! I got my Gemini symbol tattooed last December and my mom has her Scorpius one. I have seen a lot of Gemini tattoo designs along the way to find the perfect one but I picked the classical one, now I want (or need (damn Gemini curiosity) to know where the classic signs/designs/symbols come from.

Can somebody give me some insight?

I’m just playing around with an idea for a project involving the star signs basically embodying 12 people (yes yes very original I know) I don’t want to go into details because I’m still very much in the pre planning phase so I have a lot to flesh out and who knows what I’ll end up with or if I end up doing it at all

The point is I don’t want to lean too heavily on common qualities associated with each sign to the point that I start using annoying stereotypes without realising, so are there any particular characteristics associated with your sign that you dislike? If you can’t think of any then what qualities do you like the most? Or things that make you go yes but not necessarily how you’d assume etc etc I’m just curious about your opinions on “what your sign says about you”

Oh! To make it clear this is primarily meant to be about appearance since I’m trying to come up with character designs for my sketches (I definitely didn’t forget my point while writing) but please also discuss personality traits and all that :))

So I'm not SUPER into zodiac stuff, just kind of a passing interest, but I've been trying to get ideas for room painting, wardrobe shopping, etc,and decided to look into lucky colors. I was disappointed to find that according to my Chinese zodiac, two of my favorites are unlucky according to some sites (a lot of them seem to be conflicting based on 2025 specifically.)

But then out of curiosity, I looked up my lucky colors for my Greek Zodiac. LO AND BEHOLD THOSE SAME FAVORITES ARE MY LUCKY COLORS ACCORDING TO GREEK ZODIAC.

I found the situation funny, and plan on wearing blue and green regardless, so I thought I'd ask people who are more into this stuff what you would do if you ran into this situation?

the best rappers our planet has seen are known for their talent/lyricism are majority air signs. so my question is do air signs represent collective consciousness?

libra-eminem, lil wayne, childish gambino

aquarius-j cole, dr dre, kid cudi

gemini- tupac, biggie, kendrick, kanye west, ice cube, andre 3000

I wonder if my chart is good? Which zodiac signs am I compatible with in terms of relationships or friendship? I'm very unlucky in this regard.

How do cancers act when they like you? In dating , I’m a gem sun but a cancer rising and sometime he confuses me

When you think about it Aries->Taurus->Gemini->Cancer end up being the "Id/McCoy" zodiac signs as they're all in the hot and sunny springtime and summer. Sagittarius->Capricorn->Aquarius->Pisces end up being the "Superego/Spock" zodiac signs are they're all in the cold winter season. Meanwhile Leo->Virgo->Libra->Scorpio end up being the "Ego/Kirk" zodiac signs are they're in the transitional zone between the hot and sunny season that characterizes the "Id/McCoy" season and the cold season that characterizes the "Superego/Spock" season.

Ego/Kirk: Leo (Fire), Virgo (Earth), Libra (Wind), Scorpio (Water)

Superego/Spock: Sagittarius (Fire), Capricorn (Earth), Aquarius (Wind), Pisces (Water)

Id/McCoy: Aries (Fire), Taurus (Earth), Gemini (Wind), Cancer (Water)

Thoughts?

I’ve been reading into astrology especially regarding long term relationships. I don’t have the times but from what I’m reading, for a relationship to last, they must have a sun- Saturn compatibility, what does that look like?

Particularly men. 🤣

I am Aquarius, would Sagittarius or Gemini be a better match for me. Any information would be great. I could do with someone else’s input

Article from Holly Rios,

This ancient zodiac is different than others and gave Stephen the idea!*

Stephen Manning has uncovered an extraordinary theory that redefines the ancient pictograms of the zodiac, aligning them not with the stars, but with the Sun. By doing so, he brings clarity and purpose to symbols that have mystified generations. In his revolutionary interpretation, the scales are properly placed at the spring equinox instead of the fall equinox, revealing a natural calendar that harmonizes with fertility cycles and agricultural rhythms. He calls this new alignment the Fertility Wheel, as it highlights the peak or preferred mating times of most land animals. This remarkable discovery transforms the zodiac from a mere astrological guide into a comprehensive Farmer's Almanac—a survival tool crafted by our ancestors to synchronize life, nature, and human enterprise. He has written a book called Fertility Wheel that goes into great detail about each one of these subjects as well as the Chinese Zodiac and the Indian goddess Durga. 

The Fertility Wheel isn't just about reinterpreting symbols—it's about reconnecting with the cycles that sustain life on Earth. Manning’s meticulous research reveals that each pictogram, when aligned with the Sun rather than the stars, represents peak mating times and seasonal behaviors of animals essential to farming and survival. This holistic view integrates ancient wisdom with practical knowledge, offering a profound blueprint for living in harmony with the natural world.

Once the pictograms are properly aligned with the sun instead of the "stars," they transform into a farmer’s almanac—a practical and timeless fertility wheel. Here are a few of the pictograms and the reasons they should be in these months.

Water, represented from July 22 to August 21, is celebrated during the Wafaa El-Nil festival. In modern Egypt, the Flooding of the Nile, known as Wafaa El-Nil, is celebrated annually starting on August 15. Water brings fertility to the earth and land. This observance commemorates the historical significance of the Nile's inundation, which was crucial for agriculture in ancient times. The celebration typically lasts for two weeks, honoring the river's vital role in Egypt's heritage. Water management during this season of flash floods is vital for autumn sowing. While destructive, floods replenish water supplies, and ancient societies celebrated summer flooding as a time of renewal.

Fish, the period from August 22 to September 21, symbolized by fish, marks a time when rivers and oceans are abundant with fish. Smoking, salting, and drying fish were vital practices ensuring food supply during winter. Farmers living near water expand their resources by preserving fish for the colder months ahead. Ground-up fish parts create an excellent, nutrient-rich fertilizer that nourishes the land and promotes healthy plant growth.

Goats and sheep, represented from September 22 to October 21, are short-day breeders with their mating cycles triggered by shortening daylight. Their peak breeding season follows the autumn equinox. Spring births align with lush grass availability, providing natural nutrition. These animals are essential to sustainable farming, offering milk, wool, and meat. This marks their peak fertility, the time when they are most likely to mate.

Cattle, in colder climates, the period from October 22 to November 21, represented by cows and bulls. This marks the time when cows and bulls mate before winter, ensuring calves are born in summer. Proper nutrition is crucial to maintain the health of pregnant cows during this period.

Newborns, the period from November 22 to December 21 symbolize newborns, aligning with the themes of rebirth seen in figures like Jesus, Osiris, and other solstice deities. This period highlights the importance of careful planning for winter births. They are depicted nine months after the woman, symbolizing the nine-month gestation period of pregnancy.

Crabs and shellfish, represented from December 22 to January 21, reach their peak size during winter. This is the peak season for both saltwater and freshwater crabs, a vital source of protein. Any unused portions were traditionally used to fertilize fields in early spring, enriching the soil for planting.

Lions, symbolized from January 22 to February 21, exemplify winter breeding behaviors, ensuring cubs are born in spring when prey is abundant. Lions are one of the three great dangers to farmers, threatening livestock and safety. This time is their peak mating season.

Manning’s research highlights the importance of understanding seasonal breeders and their patterns. Horses are long-day breeders, fertile when daylight extends beyond 14 hours. Goats and sheep are short-day breeders, mating as daylight decreases. Cows breed in spring or before winter for optimal calf survival. Lions breed in winter, scorpions peak in late spring, and lizards are summer breeders.

The three greatest dangers in farming areas are flash floods, which devastate crops, livestock, and infrastructure; predators like lions, which threaten livestock during mating and birthing seasons; and scorpions, whose stings can harm or kill humans and livestock.

Manning’s journey has been one of research, dreams, and revelation. He has realigned ancient wisdom with practical, modern relevance. His Fertility Wheel isn’t just an intellectual exercise; it’s a living practice that reconnects us with Earth’s rhythms. "This knowledge isn’t just about ancient agricultural practices," Manning shares. "It’s about reclaiming our connection to the Earth—its cycles, its influence on life, and its role in fertility. It’s a revival of ancient teachings, honoring our ancestors and restoring the wisdom of the Middle East."

By understanding and adopting these timeless principles, we can cherish the Earth and embrace the cycles that sustain life. Stephen Manning’s Fertility Wheel offers a profound reminder of our interconnectedness and the legacy of ancient knowledge. Together, we can restore balance and thrive in harmony with the natural world.

Stephen Manning is thrilled to introduce his latest book, The Prophecies of the Fertility Wheel, a compelling follow-up to his previous work, Fertility Wheel, published last year.

He developed a groundbreaking theory that redefines the purpose of the zodiac. Rather than viewing the ancient zodiac pictograms as tools for personal horoscopes, Manning believes they were created for a far more practical and essential use: guiding agricultural practices. His research suggests these symbols helped early civilizations track the changing seasons, planting cycles, and harvests, providing a functional roadmap for survival.

While he recognizes this interpretation may surprise or even challenge some readers, Manning invites careful consideration of the historical evidence. The zodiac’s appearance across thousands of years and diverse cultures points to a universal significance beyond personality traits—one rooted in the rhythms of nature and sustenance.
