Dear Georgia
I read somewhere that as a person becomes older he moves into the next sign of the zodiac. Is this true and how long does this take to happen if true?
Thank you,
Sheila
Hi Sheila,
Yes this is true. At birth your Sun is at a particular degree from (zero to 29) - and each year of your life the Sun moves ahead one degree.
For example, if you were born on the very day the Sun entered your sign (right on the cusp), when you're about 30 years old, you "become" the next sign.
This does not mean you lose the qualities of your original Sun sign, but you will start to take on the qualities of the new sign as well.
Similarly, if you are born roughly in the middle of your "sign" (around the 5th, 6th, 7th of the month), when you're 15 years old, you start to take on the attributes of the next sign. This also means that 30 years later, (around the age 45) you become the next sign as well.
I never used to read mysteries. And now I do. That's because both my progressed Moon and my progressed Mercury are in Scorpio.
I just finished a book I recall seeing on the bestseller list over a decade ago, and at that time I thought, "Eek! Too creepy! Not for me!"
But I am becoming more and more Scorpio the older I get. In fact, I have it marked on my calendar that on Aug 1, I will become Scorpio Rising. ("No prisoners!") Like wow!
I expect to have an increasing interest in jewelry, medicine, and mysteries and crime novels. And great sex! (One can only hope.)
However, despite this, I will not actually become a Scorpio for several years i.e. progressed Sun in Scorpio.
This illustrates why some people mellow and other get more assertive and feisty.
Hmmm - when I really become a Scorpio, I'll invite Darth over to celebrate. (Talk about heavy breathing!)
Georgia
