ARIES: MAR. 20 to APR. 20:
The tide will turn for Aries by Apr. 18 when Mars moves out of Cancer and moves into Leo. So whatever you try to get done will take extra effort until the 18, then things will start to flow much easier. If you have difficult things to do get them done in the first half of the month. Everything you do get done will make the last half of the month much better.

GEMINI: MAY 21 – JUNE 21

LEO: JULY 23 to AUG. 23:
Leos will have a slow start to this month. By mid-month there will be a surge of energy that keeps increasing. You may start out the month somewhat laid back, but you will finish it, talking a lot and getting out of the house. You will be quick to react and even quicker to get your point across.

SAGITTARIUS: NOV. 22 to DEC. 22:
A lack of sincerity will cause losses, both within you and without. This month you need to be careful about the choices you make and the preferences you indulge.

Robin has a new site on Trigrams and Astrology.
https://rasa.ws/embed/#?secret=vwkWNmyPwV
Robin has six new websites about the I Ching and astrology.
I Ching Links
The I Ching is a zodiac of 64 divisions. Each hexagram line relates to a Zodiac degree. This site shows the correspondences, gives interpretive examples and to tools for you to work forward on your own.
https://www.astrologyiching.com/embed/#?secret=d4Qr6LaXuY
This site Explains in detail the relationship of the I Ching to the cycles of the year, the month and the day. In other words to the Zodiac signs, the moon phases and aspects, and to the daily houses.
https://www.ichingastrology.com/embed/#?secret=1yL1nYQORr
A site about the I Ching with a good history, and instructions about how to divine a hexagram using yarrow stalks, coins or dice. There are also the deeper implications and meaning of the I Ching in the Great Treatise.
https://www.ichi-ng.com/embed/#?secret=boV280lPAS
This site presents a completely new interpretation of each hexagram and hexagram line. References to the Superior Man and his virtue, have been removed. In this interpretation One does this or One does that. The advice is given for the individual and not just for the man. This is a significant change in the I Ching. Not to be thought of as a replacement for the old, but as an add on for more modern and astrological significance.
https://www.iching-hexagrams.com
This is a site of cosmic alignment. The relationship of the I Ching to numbers, Kabbalah, the Seven Rays, Zodiac Signs and Houses are presented.
https://www.i-ching-changes.com
This is a site that takes the I Ching beyond words. It shows how to drum the hexagrams and then how to interpret them musically in melodies. It also shows how to chant the hexagrams, working to turn duality into unity.

This website is my resume!
