Astrological Royal XII - West meets East Pisces and the Rat

The last sign of the Western Zodiac makes a harmonious whole is the first sign of the Eastern Zodiac - the Rat and the Fish, or rather the Rodent and Twin Fish, Pisces.  They mark the beginning and ending of both cycles.

The rodent, in this case a squirrel, is an ancient organism as ancient as the fish.  The spirit line, or genetic line of the squirrel has been around since the age of fishes during the Divonean period some 420 million years ago.  Although the body form of the rat or squirrel was nowhere to be found, an element of their being was one in one with the fish.  Indeed all fish today from sharks, to sunfish, to minnows like the squirrel have a great great great......great grandfather and grandmother who was swimming in the oceans back then.

However the squirrel spirit line has chosen to leave the waters and hold on to its cunning and playfulness, refusing to become a slave to others, while the twin fish are in essence the Western Version of Yin and Yang or rather - boy fish and girl fish.

Pisces Royals include: former South African Leader F. W. De Klerk, Billy Crystal, Elaine Paige, Adam Clayton of the band U2, Shaquille O'Neal, Xing Huina, and a woman who lives up to the name Pisces Royal Ye Shiwen.

A living Pisces Royal, who is also an official Royal, is Crown Prince, Naruhito who is in line to become the next Emperor of Japan.  But of course, the most famous of all Pisces Royals to ever climb a tree or swim in the water was none other than the first President of the United States of America: George Washington.

Astrological Royal XI - East meets West Libra and the Dragon

The Zodiac is an ancient custom perpetuated from long ago, and alive in its own form as serious and lighthearted business.  No matter how much the modern world tires to overlook its significance, it has been a constant force through the ages.  There are two primary Zodiacs alive in the human consciousness - one from the East and one from the West.  Both Zodiacs uses 12 totems to represent their divisions.

It is such that every person has two Zodiacs: one from the East and one from the West, but every so often there is a harmonious alignment whereby the signs match in a special partnership and create an Astrological Royal.  The East-West high harmony partner for Libra is with the Year of the Dragon.

Libra and the Year of the Dragon are the two emblems that are rather distinguished from the others.  In the Eastern Zodiac the regular animals often found on the farm or nearby jungle are included, except for the mystical Dragon.  Likewise in the Western Zodiac the signs are all alive: as either people, animals, or mythical beasts.  However Libra the Balance stands a part as a non-living totem, in a parallel rhythm so to does the semi-mythical Dragon does with the Eastern Zodiac.

Libra is the hallmark of Western thought that represents mathematical precision, science and technology.  While the Dragon is another point of power for the Eastern Mind, and represents the invisible intuitive mind.  Libra represents the rational mathematically measurable reality all around us, from computers, money, temperature, and numbers.  On the other hand the Dragon represents the irrational passionate feeling side of reality all around us, and not just within us.  The mystical immeasurable forces are the essence of the Dragon.  Dragons exist but come from a different reality in the immeasurable realm of mind, in the end no one will ever be able to measure the Dragon, but rather only feel its essence.  


Here is a short list of famous persons born as a Libra Royal with a natural inclination for both the passionate intuitive Eastern Dragon Spirit, nicely balanced with the technologically precise balanced calibration of being: former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, writer Elie Wiesel, Chinese leaders Li Peng and Zhu Rongji, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Beverley Johnson , Clive Barker, actor Jeff Goldblum, writer sitcom creator Chuck Lorre, actress and comedienne Janeane Garofalo, Phish front man Trey Anastasio, singer Chang Chen, actress and singer Yoon Son-ha, actor Ryan Reynolds, rapper ASAP Rocky, model Ragasya, basketball player Kevin Durant, and singer Frankie Jonas.

Perhaps the most powerful leader, singer, and thinker of the modern world, born a Libra Royal, who was a leading voice of the Western Cultural Revolution - front man of the Beatles: John Lennon.

Astrological Royal X - East meets West Capricorn and the Pig

The Year of the Pig's astrological partner in Capricorn the Seagoat.*  The Year of the Pig is the last sign of the Eastern Zodiac marking the ending and beginning of a new cycle.  However Capricorn marks the end and beginning of the Western Calendar - Capricorns rest on both sides of the old year and new year.

The Year of the Pig is the sign of enjoyment, to live it large and scrape up the leftovers in a kind of celebration, just as the end of the year is a time to kick back and enjoy dwell upon the fruit of labor, pain, and joy of the ending year.

Capricorn Royals include Max Roach drummer, Ted Lange of the Love Boat, the singer Kenny Loggins, movie director John Carpenter, singer Ronnie Van Zant, actor Carl Weathers, singer Tracey Ullman, actor Val Kilmer, singer Micheal Stipe, singer Ricky Martin, singer Dido, and actor Zach Mills,

Astrological Royal IX - East meets West Virgo and the Rabbit

The feminine essence of Virgo the Virgin is reflected in the Year of the Rabbit.  Thus when it is the Year of the Rabbit and a person is born a Virgo, she or he is an Astrological Royal.  The rabbit is a symbol of fertile abundance with a feminine temperament. Soft and docile like the persons who are Virgins to experience.

Virgins represent the purity of innocence, like a baby or gentle rabbit.  Ignorant of the harsh truths that may await a persons path, the path of the Virgin and rabbit is usually non-agressive. Out of all the wild animals in a forest, the rabbit maintains its dignity and spirit to run free - no horns, no claws, no rabid teeth, nor any loud barking noises or roars.  The peaceful and docile rabbit is a good match for the non-jaded uncorrupted innocent Virgin.

Likewise Virgo usually holds a grain in her hand - may it be wheat, barley, rice, or corn, it is a symbol of abundance, likewise the rabbit is a signal of abundance and positive directions.

Virgo Royals include: movie star Lily Tomlin, star from East  Michael Tao, rapper Easy-E, baseball player Randy Johnson, Richard Marx, Peter Ho, Liu Yifei, actress Evan Rachel Wood, rapper Wiz Kalifah, Tyler Hoechlin, actress Danielle Panabaker


A real official royal who also happens to be a Virgo Royal is Prince Nikolai of Denmark.

Astrological Royal VIII - East meets West Aquarius & the Dog

THE LOYAL SERVANT AND LOYAL DOG

 

The Water Bearer, Aquarius, is partnered with the Dog as an Astrological Royal.  The association between Aquarius and The Year of the Dog may not seem so obvious, but they have some common elements.  One is master to man, while the other is master to the King.  The Kings cup bearer must be a loyal subject since he gives the live sustaining element of water and has the ability to assassinate the King.  Likewise the Cup Bearer is the most loyal of servants to the royals.  

Aquarius Royals are hard to come by since the Chinese New Year overlaps at different times during the sign of Aquarius.  Currently the most famous Aquariuses Royal are talking head Keith Olbermann, actress Linda Blair, actor Blake Clarke, Chinese Writer Lao She, singer Adam Lambert, comedian Dick Martin, NBA Star Jameer Nelson, rapper Gorilla Zoe. The man from the 'Loyal Half of Virginia' who broke the sound barrier Chuck Yeager.

 

The Hanson Brothers Plant a Flag on the Moon - MMMBop 1997

In the age of music B.B. (Before Beiber) there were other pop boy bands who had a grip on tween girl nation.  Hanson was one of them.  In the the official video of their smash hit single MMMBop 1997 they plant a flag in the moon.  It is a blue triangular flag worthy of vexillological note.

 MMMBop is a happy song capturing the happy feeling of America at the end of the 1900s.  The world and America were in a positive happy cycle at this time.

This song is mish mash of American culture that takes bits from the 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, and 20s - it's a final good by to the 1900s.  The century where the we walked on the moon.

It certainly is a secret special flower.  That nobody knows!  When a secret seed of love is planted, when and where it will bloom?

Astrological Royal VII - Cancer and the Rooster

As the cultures of the East and West merge, many have become aware that there are two dominant Zodiac Scales that the people love to follow and talk about.  Many of the younger Zodiacs simply copy the format of the Western Zodiac and substitute different animals and beings.  However the Eastern Zodiac from China and the Western Zodiac from Rome are by far more ancient and established.  Moreover they are calibrated to different cycles allowing one two have two zodiac elements without competing for the same space.

But for every sign there is a special high harmony when the Chinese and Roman Zodiacs are in conjunction - and this is an Astrological Royal.  The Astrological Royal partner for Cancer is the Rooster.  Thus the next Year of the Rooster during late June and early July of 2017 will welcome the next generation of Cancer Royals. 

Cancer is represented by the Full Moon, while the Rooster is represented the Rinsing Sun.  It is a balance of Yin and Yang, or rather East to West.  Both the crab and rooster are unbelievably beautiful animals from distant shores.  Although the crab can swim it chooses to live on the earth and walk, likewise its long lost avian cousin can also fly but prefers to walk on the earth.

Biologically both come from eggs and develop from opposite ends - uniting the divide between 'First Mouth Animals' and 'Second Mouth Animals.'  Basically the animal kingdom can be broken into two main tribes - ones that form skeletons on the outside 'First Mouthers' and animals that form skeletons on the inside 'Second Mouthers.'  Although our bodies and genetic lines may have shifted - note that a living species 'spirit line' is exactly the same age.

The familial line of the chicken, crab, and human has been around since the age of dinosaurs.  Although the number of generations may be different and the biological form as it is now has shifted - if a species is still alive it's spirit line is as old as the Cosmos.  Rather the spirit line of the Dodo, Woolly Mammoth, and Passenger Pigeon has ended.

Cancer Royals have domain over air, land, and water, sort of like an aircraft carrier. They are protected by an enormous defense perimeter.  And they have the power strike far and away. 

For the record, famous Cancer Royals of our time are: Li Xiannian, Nancy Reagan, and John Glenn,  the triplet baby boomer singers - Kim Carnes, Blondie, and Carly Simon, Top Gun's Star Kelly McGillis, political peace activist Cindy Sheenan, David Tao from Taiwan, Hockey Star John LeClair,  rising stars of Ariana Grande and Pierre Louise Edwards.

Finally an official Royal who also happens to be a Cancer Royal is the Princess Alexia Juliana Marcela Laurentien - Princess Orange-Nassau.
