Mars has been all the "rage" recently. NASA currently has two probes, the Spirit and the Opportunity, taking photos and soil samples.

You've already seen some of the photos in the paper. Here are a few other links we found fun:

• Is NASA faking the color of Mars? Maybe it's not as red as we think! Also, notice the frost in the first picture...doesn't that automatically confirm water (& therefore life)? http://xfacts.com/spirit2004/. You can also read about Planet X, the 10th planet.
• Have you ever seen the Face on Mars? In the 70's it was "proof" of Martians.
• NASA's page about the Rovers. They found HEMATITE on Mars!
• Got Kids (or time on your hands)? NASA's Flash site has games and fun educational material.
• Explore Mars Now is an amazingly realistic interactive animated tour of what a Mars habitat would look like (if Bush had another $500 billion to spend. Stop laughing. Please.).

"Thank you so much for the birthchart necklace BELLYCHAIN you made for me. It is beautiful, and a great tool to understand astrology better.

"It is sensuous and empowering to wear as a belly chain. It reminds me of the goddess Ianna who wears the Zodiac around her waist.

Blessings on your work,
and a Happy New Year,
- Yvonne, Portland OR"

Aquarius is characterized as progressive, revolutionary, inventive, and idealistic. Although the symbol is that of the Water Bearer, Aquarius is associated with the element of air, or the ethers.

Aquarius helps humanity to understand group consciousness and community. They remind us that we are all One at the core essence of our Being. At the same time, Aquarius honors independence, freedom, and individuality. They teach people that you can be a unique individual and still play nicely with everyone and everything else on planet Earth.

An out-of-balance Aquarius may listen to good advice while smiling, then go off and do what they please as if never hearing a word. Aquarians like to spend their time fantasizing about what can be, rather than accept what they see in front of them. As a result, they sometimes get a reputation for being a little flaky.

Aquarians cherish constant change. They'll either make constructive changes to revolutionize the world, or they'll make change for the sake of change. Watch out not to stub your toe when they rearrange the furniture...yet again.

If you are in a relationship with an Aquarius, you want to establish a strong friendship with your Aquarian, but give them the space they need to express their individuality.

Wandering Star makes gorgeous Aquarius Zodiac Jewelry designed to help our flaky friends keep their feet on the ground. Newsletter Secret Code: For a 10% discount on Aquarius jewelry and all other orders, enter code ANL in the “Secret Code” box in the shopping cart now through March 1, 2004!

Since this planet is the butt of many jokes, please pronounce it as YOORanis, with the accent on the first syllable.

The seventh planet in our solar system, Uranus's unique claim to fame is that its axis runs from side-to-side so it rotates horizontally! It also has rings, though fainter than Saturn's. Many of its 21 moons are named after Shakespeare and Pope characters.

Uranus is Aquarius's Ruling Planet, which means it is at its greatest strength when it falls in Aquarius or in the 11th House.

In Astrology, Uranus represents independence, freedom, invention, innovation, friends, and revolution.

When Uranus transits your chart, you'll need to find a new way to do things. Change will happen, whether it's intentional or against your will. But trust that the universe takes care of us!

Uranus takes seven years to move through a zodiac sign, so the sign Uranus was in at birth effects a large number of people. This makes the natal house placement of Uranus very important for understanding how it is used in your life. If it's located in the Tenth House of Career, you may prefer to be self-employed, or to at least have a supervisor who doesn’t hover over you. In the Seventh House of Relationships, you may need a marriage partner who gives you plenty of space in the relationship.

Uranus is associated with astrologers, aviators, inventors, and revolutionaries. On a spiritual level, Uranus helps you to break free of self-imposed limitations so you can experience the miracles of the Universe.

Astrological Homeopathy Research Study Needs Volunteers!

A Kepler College of Astrological Sciences senior needs a minimum of 250 volunteers to conduct a pilot study on the correlation between cell salts and sun signs.

Cell salts are homeopathic remedies that consist of essential minerals our body needs to maintain health on a cellular level. Cell salts are safe and do not conflict with prescriptions or over-the-counter medication.
Volunteers need to be: (1) between 18 - 74 years old, (2) willing to answer approximately 50 questions about the state of their health pre- and post- treatment, (3) willing to take cell salt tablets twice a day for five weeks beginning March 1st, (4) not currently taking cell salts, and (5) reside in N. America.

Health surveys will be conducted electronically and the cell salts will be mailed to participants. Names, birth data, health status, and personal information are completely confidential. As of this time, this study is self-funded.

Please contact Tishelle Betterman at (253) 925-1524 or [email protected] if you are interested or have questions by February 15, 2004.
