People readily credit you with the ability to remind everyone of the necessities of concrete situations and to moderate people. In principle, you are apt for long- term management, you can protect the foundations of an activity as the reliable guardian of assets and the guarantor for stability. Your distrust for novelties is your strength.
It requires much more than an alluring idea to persuade you to change your direction. Scepticism is a quality here: it is safer to take advantage of past experiences rather than to rely on very hypothetical sporadic strokes of luck. Taurus is not a weather wane!

You endeavour to get out of muddled or dark situations as quickly as possible. Your need for transparency may lead you to make cut- and- dried judgments such as yes or no, and black or white. However, your honesty commands your entourage's consideration.
At times, you come across as authoritarian. It is true that you never want to be thought of the notable absentee, and that you manage to make people pay attention to you, as well as to your plans and your assessments.
To this end, the Solarian sometimes develops a great talent for placing himself under the spotlight without missing a single opportunity to arouse interest. Some other Solarians, although more discreet, still manage to be the focus of any debate, even in situations of exclusion. It is your way of being present even though you are actually not there.. More than other people, you appreciate the esteem extended to you.
It is useless to cheat with you, since in all areas you consider establishing enduring relationships only with those who love you, admire you, respect you, or express some degree of affection to you. Your will to straighten out your inter- personal relationships is your strength and sometimes, your Achilles' heel. You cannot achieve anything behind the scenes. Therefore, your comportment is marked with heroism, and your stands are devoid of ambiguity, in the sense that your commitments are unfailing, and your rebuffs, final. Interpretation of the 1.
The door is wide open, but a strong man blocks the way with a long rod he holds across the entrance. One appreciates well- done work and dedicates one's life to other people. Endeavours aiming at defending the cause of justice and fraternity are fully rewarded. The man with the rod symbolises a protection against hatred and negative forces. This degree endows with great moral authority and, at a higher level, gifts for occultism. N. B.: symbolic degrees belong to a branch of fatalistic astrology.
Their interpretation must be regarded with the utmost caution, especially given the fact that different authors give different meanings to symbolic degrees. This is the reason why they are not included in our Astrotheme reports.

Moon in Pisces. On the day and at the time of your birth, the Moon was in the sign of Pisces. Letting go is the best way to find tranquillity. You are a loner and you find peace in isolation and contemplation.
You may feel that only you can understand the elements of your intimate life. It is probably due to the peculiar nature of your sensitivity. Your intuition provides you with pieces of information that remain out of your entourage. Your receptivity emphasizes the selective character of your behaviours: not everyone can become a close friend and your entourage must respect the precious moments of forgetfulness and indifference that are necessary for your balance. Your life rhythms are marked by your detachment from customs and outdated habits. You often go off on your own!
When you deal with a person whom you do not know, or when you are facing a new situation, you try above all to adjust. You absorb external parameters in order to blend into the environment and feel safe as if you were at home. Adaptation is mainly a matter of sensitivity. If the contact is good, everything is fine.
But should outside issues disturb your tranquillity and your need for well- being, then, you cut off your lines of communication. Moon Dominant. If the Moon is part of your natal chart's planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a Lunarian: the driving force behind your actions is mainly the pursuit of well- being and tranquillity. Your sensitive and romantic self lives on those periods of rest during which you let your imagination wander at will. This is your way of finding inspiration and balance. Nothing is allowed to disturb your feeling of fulfilment and security within a harmonious cell, be it a family or a clan.
More than other people, the Lunarian is attached to those moments during which one forgets one's worries and lets oneself cast adrift aimlessly, with no other goal than to be lulled into an ambiance, a situation, or a perfect moment. Many people do not understand such absences and their meaning, which is to regain strength.
These people readily describe you with such unflattering terms as apathy and nonchalance. Some inspirations require surrendering as well as striking a balance derived from alternate action and passivity. Your qualities are expressed to the fullest in situations which demand familiarity and privacy.
Your capacities to respect and blend into your environment is at least as valuable as some other people's aggressive dispositions. However, you are well- advised to avoid indolence and renunciation out of laziness or indifference.
Interpretation of the 6. On a side table, nicely presented dishes are ready to be served. One is a bon viveur endowed with an insatiable appetite for spiritual and intellectual food, as well as for the pleasures of the table.

Introduction To Blasphemy and The Beast's Identification The Woman, the beast and the kings are the central figures of the entire prophecy of Revelation 1. Why devote an entire section to identifying the beast? It is very important that you study this section carefully because, if you do not, you will be lost in the material presented later. But there are clues available to identify the beast if you know where to look and how to understand them. From Daniel 7 we know that beasts always play an important role and represent powers to be reckoned with, so for this reason the scarlet beast must be correctly identified.
To identify the scarlet beast some people look at the scarlet color of the beast and think they see its origins in Satan because the dragon's color is red, which is similar to scarlet. The one identifying mark that people always forget about or else they ignore is the names of blasphemy that occur all over the scarlet beast. Unfortunately, there is a problem with this that probably explains why most people never bother with it, which is that there appear to be no definitions given in Revelation 1. So, lacking more information on this, most people just ignore the names of blasphemy and think that the other characteristics of the beast tell them who it is.
These explanations can be grouped together into several categories, but each category is contradictory with the others, so they cannot all be right. The author will show you how to determine the correct explanation. The sea beast of Revelation 1.
Revelation. 1. 7 has the names of blasphemy written all over it. Let us make this concept very visible for you to think about and remember. Let us look at this just a little more closely. It was not at all what his opponents expected and for this reason, it worked very well for him in defeating them. Also, a leopard tends to sit in a tree and watch for prey to go by, and when prey does appear, it studies its prey until it figures out how and when it is vulnerable to attack. It should be clear to you that understanding the meaning of the symbols.
God saw in a particular power, thus giving us a small window into God's mind and how he views things. Once we think we have identified the power a beast represents, then all of the symbolic things added onto a beast (such as wings) must harmonize in meaning with the power that we have identified that it represents. Let us now study the Revelation 1. In other words, by defining the Revelation 1.
Revelation 1. 7 scarlet beast as well because of the uniqueness of the behaviors represented by the name of blasphemy. After we have identified the Revelation 1. Revelation 1. 7. For your information that is related to what we are about to study, years ago the author engaged in a very careful study of the Bible. In our discussion in this section about the Revelation 1.
To help you identify the sea beast, the author will now present several different methods of defining the name of blasphemy found on it and define the behaviors these represent, after which he will discuss several other characteristics of it to give you better information to work with to help identify it. Let us now begin the process of identifying the sea beast.
Many people look at the information about the sea beast and note that it has the name of blasphemy on its heads. If you talk with them about it afterward, they usually are very certain that they understand the blasphemy on the sea beast. The intended meaning is related to blasphemy, of that there should be no doubt. But a deeper understanding is needed before one can properly understand just what it is that God wants us to do with it. Looking up the dictionary definition of a symbol sometimes is the correct thing to do when studying Bible prophecy, but not usually. Remember that the actual words, .
In other words, he was telling us that the names he saw on the beast were blasphemous in nature and he informs us of that without actually telling us what those names were. How do we know what was written on the beast since he did not tell us any of the names? To do this we must use the principle that things added onto a beast represent behaviors of the beast, which idea is the Characteristics Principle mentioned just a few moments ago. In other words, we work backwards, meaning that we find the behaviors and use that information to tell us about the name of blasphemy that is found on the sea beast. This is sufficient for our purpose. If you ask people to define blasphemy, very frequently.
God, cursing God, using the word God or his name or the name of Jesus as a swear word (often using these to express surprise or shock, thereby breaking the commandment that says not to take the name of God in vain), or. God. These are the commonly understood definitions for blasphemy. The Bible writers very often used the word blasphemy in such a way that a very specific definition is to be understood for it wherever that word appears. How on earth do you blaspheme, say, for example, a mountain?
For your consideration here is the author's version of the dictionary definition. Claiming the prerogatives (rights of authority) of God, or another way to say this is to claim the attributes of God Showing contempt for or insulting God. Showing irreverence toward God Showing a lack of reverence toward something sacred.
It turns out that Revelation 1. God wanted to be absolutely sure that we can understand the definition of the name of blasphemy in the Bible. Consequently, we do not need to have any doubt whatsoever about the exact meaning of the name of blasphemy.
Using the information in Revelation 1. Bible provides a definition for the name of blasphemy.
The same is true of the the word . The remaining phrases of verse 6 are symbolic of the actions that constitute blasphemy. We just have to figure out exactly how it does these things.
Fortunately this verse does not leave you to guessing exactly how the beast blasphemes God. The verse tells us that the beast will speak blasphemy against God and then it defines the three specific behaviors through which the beast does this, thus precisely clarifying the blasphemy definition for us.
So, let us begin to analyze the three specific ways the beast blasphemes God. Blaspheming God's Name. What does it mean to blaspheme the name of God? Now, why does the author say that blaspheming the name of God is to destroy his character? The answer is that the word name is used both symbolically and literally in Revelation 1. Well, maybe it is not so clear for you, so to help you be certain that this is true, let us verify it.
Rev 1. 4: 4 These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Rev 1. 4: 5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. The Father's name in the forehead is associated with the people of Revelation 1. Bible as a symbol of Jesus. The condition of these people having God's character is symbolized by them having the Father's name in the forehead. But if you think this is insufficient evidence, there is a second evidence that is available because the same association of name and character is found elsewhere in the Bible. Pay particular attention to the fact that he would proclaim his name and then compare it to what he actually did. The next day Moses went up on the mountain and there God proclaimed his name and passed by him.
Doing both the name proclamation and the character description together associates his name and his character together, thereby making one a symbol of the other. Thus, the words name and character symbolize one another. Think about that for a minute.
