Monthly Horoscope for Everyone

Have you been feeling depressed, angry, and frustrated for the last few weeks? Even if there's nothing really different or wrong in your life? If so, you've been feeling the Sun-Mars conjunction squaring Pluto that we spoke about in the Virgo Newsletter and in September 6's NewsScope. It's been causing negativity and devastating storms worldwide.

Will we experience any relief soon? A little, but the intensity won't change. With the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury entering Libra this month, new priorities will be placed on fairness. But you'll continue to face your dark side.

The Moon will participate in several Grand Trines throughout the month. To consciously foster Libra's harmony, consider people's "emotional opinions" as decisions are made.

Sponsor a Senator
for World Peace

The election is less than two months away, and now more than ever we need World Peace.

Wandering Star wants to add Peace and beauty to our government.  So we thought it would be fun to send World Peace Bracelets to all our Senators!

So we need your help.  We have 100 Senators, and we're going to send the bracelets at wholesale to make this happen.

That means we need 100 people to Sponsor a Senator for $20 apiece, including shipping.

You can even Sponsor more than one!

Even better, you can include a note with the bracelet, or send it anonymously!

Once we've got all 100 sponsored, we'll send out the jewelry with press releases to major newspapers.

If your state's Senator is no longer available, please choose your favorite off the list, or sponsor a Senator from a state where we don't have many customers.

Send a bracelet to John Kerry, Zell Miller, Orrin Hatch, or Barbara Boxer!

What fun! Please help us fulfill this dream!

The Seventh HouseLearn Astrology:
The 7th House, Relationships

"Houses" are the 12 pie slices in an astrology chart that astrologers use to interpret horoscopes. They're the realms of life within which your personality traits play out. They're calculated based on the sun's highest position on any given day.

The Seventh House, ruled by Libra, relates to relationships of both a business and personal nature. The Seventh House determines your experiences with marriage and partnership. Ironically, this area that represents your marriage also holds your open enemies.

On a spiritual growth level, the people with whom you share, whether in love, business, or war, are all here to help you open to a greater level of your spirit. An enemy can perhaps be viewed as a soul who has agreed to help you grow, much the same as a marriage partner.

People want different things in a marriage, and the sign on your Descendant (the name for the 7th house cusp) describes your desires. An Aries Descendant may like fiery passion in a marriage partner, while an Aquarius cusp may need someone who is as much a friend as a partner.

Planets in the seventh house greatly influence the needs of committed partnership. The Moon in the seventh house, for example, may show a strong need for emotional connection, or indicate that the desire for partnership may ebb and flow. If you have Saturn in the 7th house, you probably experience rocky relationships, and do well with a mature partner.

The main point of the seventh house is that you are being called to step away from purely self-serving needs in order to share and cooperate with others. The seventh house is what calls you outside yourself.

New Planet Found?

new planet discoveredA group of European-led astronomers has made a photograph of what appears to be a planet orbiting another star. If so, it would be the first confirmed picture of a world beyond our solar system.

"Although it is surely much bigger than a terrestrial-size object [like Earth], it is a strange feeling that it may indeed be the first planetary system beyond our own ever imaged," said Christophe Dumas, an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory.

Because planets are so dim compared to stars, technology has not been able to spot them amid stellar glare. That is, perhaps, until now. The new picture shows a dim, red point of light that Dumas and his colleagues think is a young, giant planet similar to Jupiter. It orbits a failed star known as a brown dwarf, a very dim type of star -- its core does not support nuclear fusion -- that astronomers have for years hoped would make for good planet hunting.

If it is a planet, the object orbits 55 times farther from the brown dwarf than Earth is from the sun, or roughly twice the Earth-to-Neptune distance.

The remaining question, however, is whether the thing might instead be a star that's in the foreground or background and not gravitationally bound to the brown dwarf, a scenario the researchers say is "statistically very improbable."

Additional observations to monitor the movement of the two objects will reveal the answer within two years, the astronomers say.
