Reading for a 1st Decanate Libra Male

This tarot card reading was done for a man born in the first week of October in 1969 (g.r.) .
Venus rules the first decanate of Libra. The King of Swords who holds a steel broadsword to command the lightning depicted in the background has been selected to represent you. You are logical and good judgment is one of your noticeable and admirable qualities. Venus in Libra creates initiative. The suit of SWORDS represents the three air signs of the zodiac and covers the intellectual aspects of our lives.

The second card in the Knight of Wands.
WANDS symbolize the career path. WANDS symbolize the three fire signs of the zodiac (LEO, ARIES, & SAGITTARIUS). Leo spans from July 23 through August 22; this card indicates that you will receive support from an unanticipated source either from a male with a fire sign [at any time within six months] or perhaps within that time period as indicated above. (the horse depicted in the card often [but not always] is an indicator for action occurring in an imminent time period).

The third card is STRENGTH

A beautiful woman draped in a rippling cream colored gown has the ability to stand beside and calm a lion (not an easy feat to accomplish!)-- you will have the ability to endure a hardship.
Serenity (as exemplified by STRENGTH) will require self-control. The card indicates that someone depends upon you or will depend upon you for support.


THE HERMIT APPEARED REVERSED (UPSIDE DOWN) in your reading as the fourth card.
Suspicion, doubt, and envy could get in the way of your Karma and/or a relationship (either romantic related or work related).

Your 5th card revealed was the 6 of CUPS
That's quite a lovely card to have as a last one in this reading: the card soothes and ties in everything in a comforting way. Your competence with inspire confidence. You will be given credit and your efforts will be acknowledged.

Astronomer traces Zodiac's time and place of birth

"Calculating its horoscope any minute now" -- Rhianna loves the wit of The Register®

"An astronomer has traced the origins of the earliest known descriptions of what would become the constellations of today's Zodiac to the region which once held the Assyrian cities of Ninova and Asur.

The descriptions, which include more than 200 astronomical observations, are written in cuneiform on a collection of clay tablets, known as MUL.APIN. The tablets are known to have been made in Babylon in around 687 BC, but archaeologists believe they are only transcriptions of much earlier records."

Cool, people have been star gazing since earliest times!
