Have you ever met an astro twin? If you want to get technical, astro twins are two people born on the same day, month, year, time, and place (making their birth charts completely identical). Though meeting such a person is extremely rare, we do often encounter "date twins:" those that are born on the same day, month, and year, but at a different time or place (or both a different time and place). Alternatively, Llewellyn's New A to Z Horoscope Maker and Interpreter gives the following definition: Astro twins are "[t]wo people with the same Sun sign, Moon sign, and Ascendant." Since astro twins (and, to a lesser extent, date twins) share the same natal chart, they should be alike in every

This Full Moon in Aquarius will occur at  9:36pm EST, July 25 (1:36am July 26 GMT). Full Moons are endings; perhaps a chapter in your life is closing.

At times,  you do need to be reminded, however, that others need attention, too; don't be afraid to share the credit. As a fixed fire sign, you are able to not only start things but also finish them; while you get the best of both worlds, you also have a

On a (bit of a) belated note, we should still be feeling the effects of last week's (July 11) solar eclipse with the New Moon in Cancer. New Moons signify new beginnings and change, and eclipsed New Moons enhance this energy for about five or six months post-eclipse. This solar eclipse of the New Moon in Cancer follows on the heels of the partial lunar eclipse of the Full Moon in Capricorn on June 26; you can expect the coming months to be full of the Moon's watery Cancer energy.  During this time, both the Sun and the Moon were in Cancer, increasing this sign's power and giving us a time to reflect on dichotomies: the inner and the outer, male vs. female energy, and past and future,  as
