Aries

The Myth:
People born under the sign of the ram are supposed to be hot headed, quick tempered, impulsive, impatient and impossible. They love to give orders and they hate to take them. They are fearless but thoughtless, energetic but disorganised, gloriously independent, wonderfully ambitious and eternally hungry for a new adventure.

The Truth:
There is of course, an element of truth in all this but there's a lot more to the story. We're talking about an inclination, not an obligation. Many people born under this sign are wise thinkers and careful planners. It's just even the most mild, meek mannered member of this cosmic club has another "secret side". There will always be one area of their life in which they simply cannot stop themselves from picking fights, breaking rules and taking wild risks.

The Key To Success:
If you were born under the sign of the ram, you should consider yourself blessed. Aries personality traits are extremely useful and they can, if put to proper use, ensure a life full of impressive achievement. You've got amazing willpower and initiative. There's nothing you can't tackle if you try. You need though, to watch out for a tendency to create a life full of difficulty, just so that you always have something to sort out. You like living "close to the edge"; but if you could only manage to stand one step back from it, a lot more of your projects would come to fruition.

[Rasputin]

Taurus

The Myth:
Taurean people are supposed to be stubborn, slow and stroppy. Legend has it that they are fond of their food and fond too, of indulging other "appetites". A further suggestion is that those born under the Bull are keenly acquisitive. It is said that they can't get enough of the finer things in life and that they always get whatever we want.

The Truth:
Taureans are perfectly capable of adapting, adjusting and adopting an easygoing demeanour. They are sensual people with an ability to appreciate quality and value but it is most unfair to call them materialistic. Few and far between are the selfish Taureans - or the ones who are interested only in money. To the contrary, most are highly idealistic. They want their own lives - and the lives of those they care for, to be the best that they can possibly be - and they will stop at nothing to achieve this. It is only, really, in this respect that Taureans can be fixed, resolute and deeply determined.

The Key To Success:
If you are a Taurean, you should be aware that your greatest asset is your instinctive sense of justice. You can recognise a rip-off at a thousand paces and you can always find what's fair. When you trust this, you are unerringly guided towards the right type of creative inspiration, the best sort of worldly ambition and the cleverest kind of friendship. All you ever need to do, to get on in life, is trust the natural good judgement that you sometimes feel inclined to ignore.

[Rasputin]

Gemini

The Myth:
Geminis are supposed to be talkative types; always on the phone and forever doing deals. They are, allegedly, good at trading and persuading. They like accumulating trivial information and ask endless questions all the time. It is also said that Geminis are "two people in one" full of contradictions and prone to sudden mood swings.

The Truth:
Geminis are definitely busy people. It's rare to find one sitting still and doing nothing. They have active inquiring minds and particularly enjoy conversations that involve an exchange of information. Not all Geminis though, are gregarious. Some are reflective and shy. Nor is every Gemini a natural salesperson. Some have no interest in commerce. All though, are a little competitive. They can rarely resist showing someone else how a job should be done or a problem should be solved. As for moodiness, well they can be full of sunshine one moment and fury the next but then who can't? All that's unusual is the speed at which they can change.

The Key To Success:
If you were born under the sign of the twins, you shouldn't see yourself as a "split personality". You are simply someone who can see both sides to every coin. It's your ability to be flexible, to act on the spur of the moment and to ask the one obvious question that nobody else seems able to think of which makes you, such a powerful force in business... and such a helpful person to have as a friend.

[Rasputin]

Cancer

The Myth:
Cancerians, we are asked to believe, are soft, soppy, supposedly sweet natured folk who can't say boo to a goose. These kind, gentle timid types are fond of home and hearth, devoted to their families and keen to live as much as possible in a cosy world of calm and comfort. They exist only to please others and love nothing more than martyrdom!

The Truth:
While this pretty piece of propaganda may accurately describe the soft underbelly of the crab, it makes no allowance for that terribly tough shell or those powerful pincers. Cancerians are quite capable of kicking up a fuss and putting up a fight. It's just that they prefer a quiet life when they can get one. Thus, they wait till a crucial line has been crossed before letting their anger out. Once that happens though, they summon the same steely resolve that they normally apply to keeping trouble at bay. They reserve their own strength only because they are slightly scared of it.

The Key To Success:
To be a Cancerian is to be blessed with an infallible inner radar screen. It is to care, passionately, about the people who matter to you and the causes that have meaning to you. It is to know, always, what must be done and why - and never to be wrong. Yet it is also to feel your best is never good enough, even though it certainly is. All you ever have to do, to be successful, is be yourself with a little more confidence.

[Rasputin]

Leo

The Myth:
To belong to this sign, they say, is to appear to others, as brassy, sassy yet undeniably classy. It is to be brave, bold and bolshy yet still, somehow, more composed than a symphony and more "confident" than Chris Tarrant himself. Leos, so the textbooks tell us, are nothing else, 24 hours a day, than stylish show-offs and sexy superstars.

The Truth:
If only! There is of course, a grain of truth in this. In fact there's more than a grain, there's a granary. There is not though, a mill, a stream and a bakery. Or, to put it another way, Leos can, at times be all the above and more - but though the rest of the world seems happy to imagine otherwise, they also just so happen to be human. Leos suffer, Leos struggle, Leos strive and Leos even, sometimes, screw things up. It's just that they have this air of consummate authority about them that makes such fallibility hard to imagine. Even when Leos are collapsing in floods of tears or wallowing in the depths of despair, they come across as attractive, calm and capable.

The Key To Success:
Although you were born under the sign of the lion, you often act more like a pussycat. That's fine for quiet times but, if you ever want to make things change or get results that suit you, you need to start prowling and growling. In astrological tradition, the ruler of your sign is the Sun. Be more like it. Rise up high... and shine!

[Rasputin]

Virgo

The Myth:
Prim, proper and pedantic. Fussy and fastidious. Organised and ordered. These are the words that they use when describing those born under this sign. Virgos are, say the so-called experts, obsessed with detail. They are list-makers and line-drawers, i dotters and t crossers, law abiding, protocol following readers of small print.

The Truth:
Oh no they're not. First of all, the goddess that governs Virgo is not a symbol of celibacy but a figure of fecundity. She is Ceres; the harvest queen who stands for all that is voluptuous and abundant. Virgo is a sensual sign and Virgos are pleasure-loving people. They like to live life to the full and they also like to do things to the very best of their ability. It is from this that their reputation for having high standards has come. They can be picky, it's true but only about things that matter to them. And as for being terribly tidy well, some may be but most are just happy enough to know where things are. To a Virgo, tidiness is a psychological state not a physical one.

The Key To Success:
All zodiac signs are, of course, created equal. An astrologer cannot possibly say that some are better than others to belong to. But, er... well look, if you're quite sure nobody else is reading this, Virgo is a very special sign. There's absolutely nothing you need to alter in order to be successful in life - other, perhaps, than your tendency to be a little too self critical at times.

[Rasputin]

Libra

The Myth:
On the one hand, Librans cannot make their minds up about anything. On the other, they are extremely decisive. Or then again, perhaps not. It all depends on how you cut the cake. The traditional expectation though, is that Librans will cut that cake into exactly equal pieces and then share it generously with their friends. Or will they?

The Truth:
Thankfully, Librans are not the dithering scatterbrains that some astrologers paint them as. Nor are they manically obsessed with equality. Nor, come to that, are they wishy-washy folk who can find a way to agree with anyone. They can, of course. Librans are famous for their charm. It is though, a bit of an affectation. Librans, actually, are argumentative. They love to play Devil's advocate and though like to look at situations and weigh them up, they are happy to accept an imbalance, as long as it is in their favour. On one point only are the old clichés correct. Librans do like sharing.

The Key To Success:
As a Libran, you are blessed with an ability to see both sides of every story. You suspect though, that you are also cursed with an inability to tell which side you prefer. Not so. When you feel unsure about something, there's always a good reason. Be less doubtful of your doubts and you'll have far more to celebrate in your future.

[Rasputin]

Scorpio

The Myth:
Scorpios, so some people would have us believe, are less than delightful folk. They stand accused of being secretive and suspicious with a tendency to nurse grudges. Scorpios are also supposedly full of anti-social habits including a tendency to be rude and to speak explicitly about taboo topics. Plus, traditionally, they are sex mad!

The Truth:
It's no wonder Scorpios are secretive. Who would want to own up to belonging to a sign with such a reputation? It is my pleasure now, to quash those stupid misconceptions and set the record straight. Scorpios don't nurse grudges. They are actually very forgiving. They just don't forget anything. They are not rude, just honest, direct and unpretentious. They don't set out to shock people, they are just shocked themselves by the prissy attitudes that some people have towards basic human functions. And as for being sex mad... Oh, gosh, I appear to have run out of space.

The Key To Success:
You may fear, if you were born under Scorpio, that you have drawn the short celestial straw. Actually though, you have hit the heavenly jackpot. Your intense sensitivity may be a trial at times but it's your greatest asset. If you trust it and nurture your sincere desire to do the best in every situation... everything in your life will yet prove perfect.

[Rasputin]

Sagittarius

The Myth:
Sagittarians, so they say, are bright, breezy, bouncy types who never let anything get them down. They are all "jolly-hockey-sticks"; totally tactless and insensitive but full of energy and enthusiasm. Supposedly, they love competitions, always look on the bright side, see everyone as a friend and are suspiciously fond of horses.

The Truth:
This is all a bit unfair. Sagittarians are perfectly capable of being grouchy and grumpy. They can summon plenty of lethargy and cynicism when they choose to. They can also be very delicate, diplomatic and deep. It's just that, because Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter - the planet of hope - they can never quite silence an inner voice of optimism. Events may reduce it to a whisper for a while but it always returns to a roar, the moment they spot a possible solution to a problem. Sagittarians are idealists who want everything to be wonderful. They are also extremists who hate half measures. For them, it's either gung ho or no go. And as for the horses? Only some of them, sometimes!

The Key To Success:
To be a Sagittarian is to be surrounded by serendipity. Rarely do you have to go in search of anything. It naturally comes to you. Or, at least, it does as long as you know the difference between trusting your luck and pushing your luck. When you strive, you stumble. When you make the most of what's on offer, you get magical results.

[Rasputin]

Capricorn

The Myth:
The textbooks imply that Capricorns are dreadfully dull. They paint these people as seriously sensible, practical planners who are diligent, dedicated and industrious. Allegedly their only aim in life is to get things together and then hold them there. Nowhere in the summary of this sign is there a mention of spontaneity or imagination.

The Truth:
Statistics prove that, if you were born under Capricorn, you are less likely to believe in astrology. Some think that this is because Capricorns are too "down to earth". Actually though, it's because they don't like the description of their sign. And who can blame them? These ambitious high achievers have better things to do with lives than correct moronic misconceptions. Capricorns may be capable characters but they have plenty of mystery and sensitivity in their souls. They also have plenty of fire in their bellies. These passionate, adventurous and mischievous people also just so happen to be highly intelligent. They can instantly see that if folk want to jump to the wrong conclusion about them, it will only help them run rings round the rest of the human race!

The Key To Success:
If you are a Capricorn, you belong not to the sign of the goat but to the sign of the sea-goat; a mythical creature that represents "the doorway to another world". Remember this and have more faith in the visions and ideas that constantly flood through your busy brain. Believe in yourself, not the nonsense that they speak about your sign.

[Rasputin]

Aquarius

The Myth:
Aquarians are perpetually painted as cold, robotic characters who have no heart and no passion. They are, we are told, entirely intellectual in their make up. Like Star Trek's Mr. Spock, they can only think, they cannot feel. They are supposed to be aloof, distant, uncaring and for good measure, they are also reputed to be insanely eccentric.

The Truth:
Well, there's no denying the "eccentric bit". People born under this sign are fiercely proud of their idiosyncrasies. In truth though, their disposition is the very antithesis of ambivalent. They are highly sensitive souls who care deeply about the people around them. It's because they are so inwardly vulnerable that they hide their feelings behind a mask of indifference. They fear that if they ever let it slip, they may never restore it. For much the same reason, Aquarians are sociable. They figure, as long as they are making pleasant, easy conversation or discussing ideas rather than emotions, they will be able to distract others from the true intensity of their passionate hearts.

The Key To Success:
To be an Aquarian is to have impeccable, almost infallible judgement. It is to know, instantly, the right answer to any question and to see, immediately, the best way to proceed with any plan. It is also though, to be viewed with suspicion by those who do not possess such clarity. All you ever need, to be successful, is to act on your insights.

[Rasputin]

Pisces

The Myth:
Pisceans, so the story goes, are wistful, whimsical, misty-eyed dreamers who live in a cloud cuckoo land. It is said that they simply do not possess the power of rational thought because they are creatures entirely of instinct. They are supposed to be unreliable, easily influenced by others and helplessly fond of drugs and alcohol.

The Truth:
Absolutely not. There is no evidence to suggest that people born under this sign have a higher than normal tendency to indulge in mind altering substances. There is though, every suggestion that Pisceans are acutely intelligent people with an amazing ability to solve complex problems. Pisceans, generally, have excellent concentration and impressive powers of deduction. The misapprehension comes about because most people born under this sign are blessed with open minds. They will listen to most arguments, consider most possibilities and explore most suggestions. They are imaginative too and this quality always irritates the people who do not possess the ability to conjure up creative ideas.

The Key To Success:
To be a Piscean is to have an instinctive, unerring sense of the possible - and the impossible. It is to amble easily around the border territory between the two states and make magic happen as a result. If you want more success, the secret is simple. Ignore those critics who are too stupid to appreciate the breadth of your vision.

Dream interpretation

Dream interpretation

Dream interpretation is the art of determining the meaning (or alleged meaning) of the symbolic content of a dream.

Dream interpetation is a part of psychoanalysis that intends to look beneath the manifest content of a dream, i.e., what we perceive in the dream, to the latent content of a dream, i.e., the meaning of the dream and the reason we dreamt it. The seminal work on the subject is The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud.

Joseph in the Old Testament interpreted the dreams of a Pharaoh of Egypt. Daniel also had the gift of interpreting dreams, saying "There is a God in heaven that reveals mysteries."

Interpretation of dreams is also a part of contemporary pop or new age culture. See new age dream interpretation; Edgar Cayce on Dreams by Harmon H. Bro, 1968; and Edgar Cayce.

Modern theories
There has been much scientific research on dreams, and modern theories attempt to explain as many facts found in scientific research as possible. These include:

Why we dream the most before being born; why the amount of dreaming decreases at old age; why mammals born prematurely, such as rats, dream more than mature animals.
Why depressed people dream more.
Why we may have evolved to dream.

Older theories

Freud
Freud thought that dreams were created to solve a conflict between a conscious wish and an unconscious wish, repressed from childhood, which would prevent sleep.

Freud thought that these repressed wishes were active in the unconscious during waking, but were kept from entering consciousness by a “censor”. During sleep, however, this censor is not as alert as it is during waking. Repressed wishes therefore disguise themselves to pass the censor as dreams. When we wake from a nightmare, the repressed wish has not disguised itself well enough and the censor has awoken us to full alertness.

Freud listed the possible transformations used by the wish to get past the censor as a dream:

Condensation where one dream object could stand for several thoughts.
Displacement where the dream object's significance is less important than the disguised significance.
Representation where a thought is translated to visual images.
Symbolisation where an action or a person is replaced by a different symbol.
These transformations help to disguise the latent content.

Jung
To Jung, dreams are communications from the unconscious. Most of the time, dreams can be regarded as "compensatory" views to the conscious, expressing aspects of the individual that are suppressed or neglected. This idea of compensation, of the natural tendency for the conflicting conscious and unconscious to approach a balance, is the basis of Jung's overall theory of psychological self-regulation. It is also important to note that due to the fact that they are often highly symbolic, dreams can be hard to understand and are subject to nuance and arguable misinterpretation.
