Astrology -The Jewish perspective :Capricorn

This series on Astrology from the Jewish perspective is geared towards self-improvement. In this series Rabbi Kin does not cover the Astrology that relates to one's destiny or Mazal. Rather these lectures discuss the Astrology that deals with character and personality, and focuses on the strengths and weaknesses that each sign has and needs to work on. According to tradition, the day of the month and hour exert much influence over one's nature. Since Astrology is based on the position of the Sun at the time of birth, the Gregorian Birthday is used. In describing every sign Rabbi Kin puts great emphasis on relationships - how they are affected by the "chemistry" or lack of "chemistry" that exists between the different signs of the Zodiac. Rabbi Kin also advises what one needs to know and do to be able to get along with everyone. By knowing more about ourselves and others one can gain a better understanding of human nature; he can then learn to be more forgiving and accepting of every human being. Much of the real life examples presented by Rabbi Kin in this series is drawn from the superb book "Sun Signs" by Linda Goodman. Although there are many resources that describe the various Signs, Rabbi Kin believes that the work by Linda Goodman does the best job in bringing out the unique qualities of every Sign. www.torahohr.net
