9 degrees to either side of the Ecliptic is a belt of the Heavens known as the Zodiac. ( Dante called it the Oblique Line that beareth all planets).
First 30 degrees of the Zodiac constitute the sign of Aries. The next 30 degrees Taurus and so on. The Zodiac counted from the first degree of Aries to the 360th degree of Pisces is called the Tropical Zodiac.
These 12 signs are the limbs of the Cosmic Man or Time Eternal ( Kalapurusha- The Almighty Self as Time )
Aries is His head, Taurus His face, Gemini His neck, Cancer His heart, Leo the place beneath, Virgo His belly, Libra His generative organs, Scorpio the place beneath, Sagittarius His upper thigh, Capricorn his lower thigh, Aquarius His leg and Pisces His feet !
The Zodiac is tenanted by 27 constellations each of them spread over an arc of 13 degrees 20 minutes. The Zodiac counted from the first degree of Beta Arietis ( Aswini) to the 360th degree of Zeta Piscium ( Revathi) is known as the Sidereal Zodiac.
Western Astrology is based on the Tropical Zodiac and the Vedic on the Sidereal.

English Literature & Astrology
Homer referred to the mighty Orion. Cicero assigned divinity to the stars. The great philosopher Origen believed that the stars and the constellations were signs through which the Omnipotent Divine exerted His malevolent or benevolent Will. Dante was an astrologer like Newton, Bacon, Nostradamus, Companus, Paracelsus and others. To Dante, Astrology was the noblest of all sciences. Dante drew a parallel between the seven liberal arts and the seven planets in his Convivio. He gave grammar to the Moon & Dialectic to Mercury. Shakespeare referred to the "operations of the orbs by whom we doth exist and cease to be ". Christopher Marlowe referred to the place where " Mars did mate the Carthiginians"!
Count Louis Hamon ( Cheiro ) declared that the message boldly blazoned across the heavens ( the positions of the planets ) represented the Universal Will & that the precession of the Equinoxes ( 25,920 years - 360 degrees ) was so beautifully calculated by the Great Geometrician of the Universe & that all biological processes obey the divine order of the celestial bodies and this is expressed in the prayer we were taught long ago " Thy Will be done, as in Heaven, so on earth".!
When Pythagorus discoverd the Correspondence between the Nine revolving heavens and the nine numbers, Astro-Numerology was born.

MySpace.com is quickly becoming the most popular sites on the Internet. Established in 2003 by Tom Anderson as a social interactive site where users can share both personal and professional information about themselves, it is now the third most popular place to be on the world wide web. It’s really very simple. Once you register, you create a user profile which includes your web page and any other information you want people to see. You can then upload music, photos, videos, and text that will help you promote yourself to others.
In order to make this possible, MySpace.com offers a wealth of features and benefits that enable users to create such elaborate pages. One of the biggest selling points of MySpace.com is the ease with which a web site can be created. The interface is so simple that users can create their page without actually knowing the HTML language. And many wesites, like www.mypsace.org offer premade profile layouts free. There are also several built-in features that enable the user to add graphics, photos, upload files, and other interesting items that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. After all, it’s all about self-promotion, meeting new people, and just having fun.
There are also many other features designed to help users by providing them with important information. Bulletins are messages sent out to everyone on the MySpace.com friends list and can be useful for notifying everyone on a list without users having to message each other individually. This way, it gets the message to everyone all at the same time which saves considerable time. This is one of the most useful features on the MySpace.com site.
MySpace.com also has a group feature that allows a group of users to share a common page and message board. This allows users to congregate on the Net and share knowledge and information.
MySpace.com has also gone international. Since early 2006, MySpace.com has offered users the option of accessing the service in different regional versions, much like search engines. Users are directed to their local sites irrespective of attempts to access another. This is helping MySpace.com gain more users and promote services never before offered in some areas.
The friends lists are, perhaps, one of the best features of MySpace.com because they allow users to join lists of others and learn more about their products, services, or just make new friends. This adds a more personal aspect to the entire experience.
In addition to the many people who socialize on MySpace.com, many celebrities have created MySpace.com sites to promote themselves, provide information to update fans, and share personal opinions and any other information they choose. Here, fans can also establish groups and discuss their favorite music artist, movie star, or comedian.
MySpace.com is also home to many independent music artists who post information and music so that fans can keep up with what they are doing and learn more about them. All in all, it has become one of the biggest social interactive sites on the Net, and is only expected to continue to grow.
