The Natal Chart
The fascinating world of Astrology starts with an examination of your Natal Chart. The Natal Chart is a picture of exactly where the stars were at the place and moment of your first breath. The Natal Chart is the guide of your life that the Astrologer refers to during your consultation.  Astrologers today are fortunate to have computers to help cast charts which, not too long ago, would have taken several hours and a lot of reference material to accurately construct.
 
Astrology by Urania offers Natal Chart Services along with a variety of Western Astrological readings including: Natal, Current Transits, Progressions, Synastry, Relationship Charts, Return Charts, and Electional Charts (Marriage, Business Opening, Selling/Buying a home).
 
Astrology of Love
Without a doubt, the number one subject Urania deals with in her readings is Romantic Relationships. The beauty of Astrology is that it allows the partner to better understand  the relationship dynamics, what draws them together, what draws them apart, and how the relationship works as an entity in itself. A serious look at what is personally needed from a relationship will be studied from the Natal Chart during any relationship reading.
 
Astrology of Money
After Love, the next most requested subject Urania deals with in her readings is Money —- where is it? How can I get it? Why did I loose it? How can I keep it? Not everyone is meant to be a millionaire, but astrology can tell you when fortunate waves are headed your way and how to best take advantage of them according to the indications in your Natal Chart.
 
What do Astrologers do anyway?
Astrologers use the "logic of the stars" to interpret planetary movement (macro cosmic view) as it relates to the earthly human experience (micro earthbound view). Much the way language interpreters explain meaning from one culture to another, astrologers interpret the meaning of the changing seasons from the vast cosmos of our Universe to the granular level of our daily life on this planet.
 
Astrologers can help us by guiding us towards our true life path, providing reasons for why something has happened to us, and offering alternative methods for dealing with situations we are presently going through.
 
Astrologers are interpreters more than predictors. Astrologers can interpret your past, your present and your future, from your Natal Chart according to data collected from centuries of astrological observation. More importantly, however, an astrologer can guide you towards understanding what choices you have to MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION on how you want your life to play out.
 
How to Catch your Match
by Urania
 
Astrology is a tool that should primarily be used to work on yourself, but is also very useful in helping you to understand others, especially when the “other” is an object of your romantic desires. With the royal wedding between William and Kate marking this Spring season of love, many of us are looking to either improve our existing love stories, or perhaps are now inspired to seek our own Prince or Princess to establish and share our lives with.
 
As Saturn (life lessons, karma) travels through Libra (relationships), 2011 is the astrological time to be structuring, evaluating, re-evaluating, formalizing and bringing into balance or ending the significant relationships (marriage, close partnerships) in our lives. Saturn, having fully entered into Libra in mid 2010, takes about two and a half years to complete a transit through a sign, so we have until late 2012 to learn our serious relationship lessons. Venus, the planet of love and the natural ruler of Libra, has just entered into Aries (late April) indicating this Spring it is indeed the time to turn a new page with your loved one, be pioneering or daring on your love quest, and/or lead with your heart and not your head at least until Venus goes into the brainy sign of Gemini in early June, after sauntering through the sensuous sign of Taurus in May. 
 
If you have the luxury of a personal appointment, a visit to an Astrologer can reveal relationship compatibility through a partnership analysis called Synastry. The Astrologer will first interpret each individual chart of a couple to evaluate each person’s primary needs according the astrological placements of the Moon, Venus, Mars, 7th house arrangements, transits and progressions. Then interaspects between two charts will be studied for supportive or discordant energies, and finally a Composite Chart will be cast to study how the couple operates as a separate entity.
 
If you possess a basic understanding of astrology and know how to look-up charts and planets, here are a few clues as to how to catch your match using the logic of the stars. First however, it is important to mention, that in matters of the heart, the most important planet to study in both a Man’s and Woman’s chart is the Moon, as the Moon is our primary emotional need. Next important in a Woman’s chart is her Mars since it indicates her male side, and for a Man’s chart his Venus tells us about his female side.
 
A person with the Moon in Aries needs a brave, strong, capable mate subconsciously seeking a leader in him/her; A Man’s Venus in Aries likes athletic women with crew-cuts, are slightly muscular, skinny and even bony, and wants a woman to go after him. A Woman’s Mars in Aries would seek a military man, an entrepreneur, or an aggressive man who would pursue her.
 
A person with the Moon in Taurus needs and is attracted to affluence, good cooks, and economizers (but not misers); with Venus in Taurus a Man likes plump women with pronounced feminine characteristics, and courting takes place over a good meal with fine wine. A Woman with Mars is in Taurus likes the careful planner, builder, cautious banker, or a great masseur…a few gifts of fine jewelry would certainly woo her as well.
 
A person with the Moon in Gemini needs talkative, intelligent conversation, and those who look and act young and enjoy going for a spin and short trips. Men with Venus in Gemini produces preferences for women of a very narrow waist, fine hands and shoulders, while Women with Mars in Gemini likes the quick-witted salesman, comedian or journalist, who is also likely a runner. Texting or sexting her just might get her to say yes.
 
A person with the Moon in Cancer needs the emotional type who enjoys staying at home, good housewives/husbands, and subconsciously seeks the mother or some vital connection to the past. A Man’s Venus in Cancer expresses preferences for nice breasts, provocative cleavage and likes to see his woman looking nice even at home, while a Woman’s Mars in Cancer seeks a protector like a policeman, a chef, or somebody who likes to tinker with DIY projects in the home.
 
A person with the Moon in Leo needs successful people in high places from well-known and reputable families, and likes to be proud of his/her spouse. Venus in Leo Man wants a woman who must be dressed exceptionally well as if she was about to take part in a pageant, and Mars in Leo Woman wants a man who acts and looks like the King, is an actor or has a stately appearance.
 
A person with the Moon in Virgo needs diligent neat-freaks who are care takers of the spouse’s health …Venus in Virgo Man loves a sexy belly button, fine tummy and plain clothes, while the Mars in Virgo Woman likes Army Men and is turned-on by his well-manicured doctor-like hands and attention to detail.
 
A person with the Moon in Libra needs well-balanced good looks, models, politicians, lawyers, and those active in public life. With Venus in Libra he is very receptive to a women’s buttocks, and event better if she has an artistically beautiful tramp stamp. With Mars in Libra, she finds the refined gentleman a real turn-on, especially if he is well spoken and enjoys a round of tennis before taking her to a gallery opening.
 
A person with the Moon in Scorpio needs a trust-fund baby or someone that comes from money and possesses a pronounced sex appeal…With Venus in Scorpio he likes see-through dresses and the appearance of a “straightforward offer,” while with Mars in Scorpio she likes powerful men with a smoldering, magnetic gaze along the lines of Benicio del Toro..
 
The Moon in Sagittarius person needs those who follow fashion and appear to be from a foreign country and are athletic and well educated. Venus in Sagittarius makes him responsive to long legs, short skirts, and shorts that show off well-toned thighs, while Mars in Sagittarius makes her pine for his sporty disposition, philosophical chin, and international adventures…
 
A person with the Moon in Capricorn needs a serious, colder, business-like mate with a darker complexion and darker hair; they also fall for older people…a Man’s Venus in Capricorn produces liking for conventional clothing style, women wearing leather and dressed in darker shades, while a Woman’s Mars in Capricorn keeps her eye on the ambitious man with the tailored suit who is climbing the corporate ladder.
 
A person with the Moon in Aquarius needs to be “friends first, relationship later” with anyone, and is turned-on by brilliant intelligence …With Venus in Aquarius he likes eccentric-looking women of an eccentric style (think Lady GaGa), is responsive to women’s legs, and especially calves. With Mars in Aquarius, she likes astronauts, pilots, mad scientists and cyclists….it’s even OK if he’s off-the-wall and kinky.
 
A person with the Moon in Pisces needs mysterious, withdrawn, shy people who always seem as if they are in need of protection…Venus in Pisces in a Man’s chart produces liking for fine stockings, shoes, lingerie … while Mars in Pisces in a Woman’s chart can’t get enough of alluring James Bond types, and will meet them in smoky bars for a drink at midnight. 
 
In the end, I would like to give you the following advice: If you wish to “catch your match” and can’t make it to your local astrologer, all you need to do is, act out the position of his Moon and Venus or her Moon and Mars…You will have fun and all the odds are that you are going to make it. I wish you a good “catch!”

In Memory
Before you go further into my website, I just wanted to acknowledge the life and work of a fabulous astrologer who left this earth way too soon. Although I only met him 2 weeks before he passed, Joseph Molina was a very talented astrologer whom I looked forward to sharing knowledge with and learning from. During our short meeting, I was struck by his handsome presence and joie de vivre that was clearly infectious to the people around him.  Overhearing his readings at the Miracles of Joy's fair, I knew what a solid astrologer he was, and what a great teacher for those that had the opportunity to learn from him. We discussed how we were both Geminis, and had rising Earth signs (his Capricorn, mine Taurus) and how we wanted to get together to exchange our books.......I kept thinking about him after we met and was looking forward to meeting-up with him, but was very saddened to learn the reason why I could not locate him. I'm honored that Miracles of Joy has allowed me to step in as the astrologer to fill his space during thier fair's, but I certainly know I am not replacing him. I am doubly blessed by Miracles of Joy as they have been entrusted by his family to care for his library...the very books he wanted to share with me. Thank you Joseph and thank you Miracles of Joy.
