associate yourself with. The heavy belief in zodiac/astrological can make you feel better about yourself, knowing that there are people who are just as egotistical or adventurous as you are. As we can see, where you belong has two different meanings when discussing the signs. When the Babylonians used these signs, you may or may not have belonged somewhere because of the seasonal conditions that sign was associated with, and now it’s simply where you are in your life and what you are. When some girl gets a tattoo on her wrist of waves because, “it totally describes her”, she probably doesn’t know the true meaning of this sign. It was that the rainy season in Babylonia occurred when the Sun was in a particular constellation which was then named Aquarius, or water bearer (“History”). That doesn’t sound so mystical now does it. Christians who are obsessed with these ideas are unknowingly going against heir God based faith. Whenever those who are Christian dabble in something like following their horoscope or believing in these signs, it is considered practicing dark arts in which his loyal subjects are not supposed to roam into. Practicing and believing in this hobby actually breaks the First Commandment, “I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any other gods before Me”, because you are putting another belief in front of God and his will. So why do people turn to the signs if they are or were religious? The answer is simple really, because people want answers. They are…
Of all the stars in the sky, my favorite constellation is Pavo, the peacock. Peacocks are fascinating, not just for their stunning plumage and coloring, but for the significance they hold to several cultures. Peacocks can be found in the religious history of Greek, Christian, Hindu and countless other cultures and have even been considered to be the guardians of royalty in Babylonian and Persian beliefs. Their rich culture is what drew me to Pavo. Pavo itself is the Latin name for peacock, but…
Ariens are active, brave and frank. They possess an abundence of energy which renders them aggressive in all sorts of enterprises. Constantly on the go they are the pioneering go-getters of the Zodiac. It is the present challenge that counts not what happened yesterday or what the future may bring. They’re enthusiasm is contagious. While their outspokeness is sometimes hard to take it is ultimately accepted by friends and family who recognise that such frankness stems from the Rams honest…
Initially I thought that picking my favorite constellation would be an easy and foregone conclusion, that being my birth constellation, however, I find myself drawn to all the water related constellations. After pondering the subject a bit I finally decided to go with my birth constellation of pieces. Pieces ended up being my favorite constellation because, first and foremost, it is the constellation I was born under and it is a water constellation. I have a very strong attraction to water in…
Aquarius: Lately things have been changing and you’re not sure how to deal with it. Your Facebook feed is filled with a new wave of memes you don’t get and the use of big words you don’t know. The solution here is crucial: isolation. It worked for the Ming Dynasty and it can work for you, too. Pisces: So no one told you life was gonna be this way/ Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A./ It's like you're always stuck in second gear/ When it hasn't been your day, your week, your…
Aquarius and her hurricanes There was a queen up in the clouds that controlled hurricanes on earth. Her name is Aquarius. She controls where the hurricanes hit, how fast the hurricane will travel, and how big the hurricanes is. Aquarius has wavy sky blue hair with vibrant green eyes. She used a sphere to start the hurricane. Hurricanes form by the heat of the ocean waters and how moist the airs is and the temperature of the air. Her city in the clouds was some what peaceful. Everyone in her…
What is your topic? The topic I have chosen to study is the Aquarius Festival held in Nimbin, NSW. The 9 day festival from May 12th to 21st 1973 may have been the best thing to happen to Nimbin. The dying dairy town in desperate need of business was approached by the Australian Union of students and asked to hold an alternative lifestyle festival on the showground of the town. Although the values of the conservative town members differed from the alternative festival attendees they agreed for…
The Aquarius zodiac sign originates from the constellation, that was recorded by the Greek Astronomer Ptolemy. The latin meaning of the word Aquarius is “cup bearer” and “ water bearer”. The Aquarius constellation is in the Southern Hemisphere and is one of the oldest zodiac signs. This constellation can be seen in the during the spring in the Southern Hemisphere and during the fall in the Northern Hemisphere. It is said that people have similar traits to their correlating zodiac sign. I believe…

The song I selected that deals directly with the travesties of war is "Aquarius Goodnights". My interpretation of the song involves Claude (the "Aquarius") who has been deployed into Vietnam and is trying to relay his location to his superiors or anyone that's listening, he comes under fire as he's singing a reprisal of the song "Ain't got no", a song that probably reminds him of his friends back home and a happier time in his life, he comes under fire, and after his last verse we can assume he…
