So far this has been quite the find on the net, I am absolutely excited about what I have found here so far.
I can't write a review for it, I just came across it, but thought I'd share some of this and leave a link....I'll probably be exploring this sight for a while....lots of interesting stuff, and a very deep look at the signs, much more on the sight.
Quite a different take on the signs then what I have seen before....
The link is most definately worth checking out.
I'm impressed.

[SIZE=+2]6. Semantics of the signs of the zodiac[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Aries[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Natural excitement[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Spending of energy[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Immediate and polarised reactivity[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Shock (opposition energy)[/SIZE]
"As a small child, I felt in my heart two contradicting feelings : loathing for life and ecstasy for life." (Charles Baudelaire)
Aries shows off brute strength without mediation. He propulses himself into existence, armed against any potential misfortune, and reacts to 'anything which moves'. He is only conscious of his deeds at the moment of action. Reflex action, instantaneous reaction to stimulation, spontaneous and impulsive action, spurt in self-affirmation and in voluntary definition. He seeks to master the existential situation and takes a determined antagonising viewpoint against any potential source of conflict. The use of available force and realisation occur immediately. His practical intelligence adapts to the slightest energy variation. Aries lives 'one day at a time'. He commands an undifferentiated energy potential, without preliminary objective, always available and renewed (pugnacity, optimism, innocence, sense of sacrifice, enthusiasm, eternal youth...)

[SIZE=+1]Taurus[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Natural inhibition[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Concentrated excitement[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Conservation and stability[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Bomb (assimilation energy)[/SIZE]
"I am neither a brother, nor a son, nor a friend, I am a brain. (…) The other existences must contribute to mine." (Honoré de Balzac)
The possessive power results from an accumulation of forces, from an exclusive reorientation of energy, from a strict regulation of needs, from a specialisation of activity. Taurus organises himself efficiently and utilises his environment for the purpose of a specific objective which matches his interest. This demanding and perseverant worker masters the existential contingencies and overcomes resistance and obstacles (firmness, single-mindedness, carefulness, control, discipline...). Thus all source of energy dwindles with time : existence is a 'shagreen' with limited resources, which he can manage sparingly and give away parsimoniously.

[SIZE=+1]Gemini[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Natural excitement[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Conditional spending[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Thoughtful activity[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Flow (generalisation energy)[/SIZE]
"Today I lived the minute of absolute power and invulnerability. I was an apiary which was flying towards the sources of altitude with all its honey and all its bees." (René Char, Feuillets d'Hypnos)
Gemini shows off a diffuse, overflowing energy in all directions, in purpose of a varied, broad, intentional and pragmatic activity. The preliminary acceptance of collective norms and social conventions conditions the efficient integration and the plastic adaptation to fluctuations in the environment (availability, improvisation, persuasion, diplomacy, intuition...). Gemini evolves within a rather vast normalised field which allows the development of his tactical plans. He can make compromises and can seize the opportunities of a situation, making good use of his alliances and aides by persuading them to go by his views. It is in the general interest to follow the way in which he engages his responsibility, which often feeds of other's.
[SIZE=+1]Cancer[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Protective inhibition[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Plastic adaptation[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Diffuse receptivity[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Earth (sedimentation space)[/SIZE]
"Finding no more food for my heart on earth, I was little by little getting used to feeding it with its own substance and to looking for all its food inside me." (Rousseau, Reveries of a Solitary Walker)
Cancer acquires his balance by symbiosis with an environment which he assumes to be built to his measure and which he shapes according to his wishes. He patiently weaves his net around him, by juxtaposition of successive layers and by concretion of external contributions, in a personal and protected space. Maintaining his vital balance requires a mainly vegetative existence, developing away from any competition, sheltered in a world where the imaginary often takes precedence over reality, in a universe to his measure, which can invigorate him and give him confidence (passivity, dependence, daily routine, memory, affectivity..). Inducements extend into himself. He lingers in reviving the past, to the extent that he feeds of his own matter and is moved by his own emotions. The progressive impregnation of disparate reality shapes his punctual, vague, varying affective ties. He finds his balance in this apparent weakness. A little of everything as it comes.

[SIZE=+1]Leo[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Trace excitement[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Concentrated protection[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Spatial radiation[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Temple (fusion space)[/SIZE]
"Far too soon it had begun to seem too much of a triumph, it had been too good, too horribly unimaginable to lose." (Malcolm Lowry, Under the Volcano)
The concentration of inhibition creates a hollow centre in consciousness, a space which is open to the presence of sacred, and favours the origination of faith. The reason why Leo attempts to distinguish himself is that he needs to free himself from the evidence of this vacuum. Relatively insensitive to the fluctuation of the psyche, immune for reconsidering himself, he masters his behaviour and his emotions. Mundane life, passions and multiple existential intrigues fill his desire without satisfying it. He feigns authority more than he wants to seize it (integrity, loyalty, generosity, magnanimity...). Leo is a king who does not seek power, but who redistributes his powers. He multiplies the masks of his personality and takes on successive and varying roles according to the hazard of his encounters, because he only knows how to exist through the recognition by others of the ideal image he has of himself. He can change himself, become actor of himself, because he has surmounted otherness, because he his other while being himself.

[SIZE=+1]Virgo[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Protective inhibition[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Defensive limitation[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Selective receptivity[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Mirror (reciprocity space)[/SIZE]
"Whoever makes a serious return on himself rapidly becomes aware of the fact that he is only one half of a being." (Goethe, Maxims and reflections)
Virgo sharply perceives his latent affinities and hostilities, as well as the limits of his capability. His affective space narrows around a chosen focus. The slightest detail related to it draws his interest because it is the encouraging indication of the proximity of the desired being. Werther. Virgo is sentimental, susceptible for the most passionate attachments, although 'cold', indifferent and apparently critical (self-restraint, discretion, reserve, devotion, fidelity...) The exchange materialises through affective, almost permanent ties. Virgo is the only one who is capable of loving and giving everything without condition. His receptivity to others is so strong that he picks up his words, gestures, states and desires through some kind of unconscious mimicry.

[SIZE=+1]Libra[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Temporal excitement[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Intensive association[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Careful coordination[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Come-Back (time of balance)[/SIZE]
" It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful."The Picture of Dorian Gray) (Oscar Wilde,
The psychic plasticity and the acute attention to fluctuations of the living imply supple and fluctuating relationships with the environment. A deed increases in weight with the consideration of all the potential, and is only accomplished with regret for everything which it leaves aside. The difficulty for taking a stand results from a heightened sensitivity for the diversity of consciences. Indecision results from receptivity to various solicitations and from respect for the integrity of beings and of their successive states (authenticity, delicacy, subtlety, refinement, tolerance, charm...) Libra does not have fixed, polarised or definitive feelings or habits : his attachments are undefined, variable, ethereal, vivified by the presence of what can potentially animate them.

[SIZE=+1]Scorpio[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Differential inhibition[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Concentrated attention[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Selective distinction[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Moment (time of dosing)[/SIZE]
"As Ego, you have nothing left in common with anybody, and therefore nothing incompatible or hostile." (Max Stirner, The Ego and its Own)
The sharp discernment allows the apprehension for the appropriate object, for the favourable location, for the sensitive point, for the crucial moment, for the eternal moment (perspicacity, critical sense, demystification, marginality...) Scorpio singles himself out by underlining his differences. He only has relative certainties. The essential part of his being, his vital core, cannot be determined or rationalised, because the 'power' is hidden in the elusive. Impervious to any illusion, refractory to established values, rebel against any enrolment, irreducible for any identification, but sensitive for the rejected, despised, cast-off, he evolves towards dispossession and self-regeneration.

[SIZE=+1]Sagittarius[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Temporal excitement[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Extensive association[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Evolution[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Spiral (time of harmonisation)[/SIZE]
"The enterprise of instituting a new life" (Spinoza)
Openness to universality results from the anxiousness to take into account all points of view and to assemble them in a synthetic inspired vision. Sagittarius only takes into account the least egocentric aspirations (solidarity, fairness, cooperation, fraternization, compassion...). No matter the decorum : no one else has such a fervour to go beyond the limits, to contend for the limits, to fight against alienations, to fight against unfairness and vulgarity in all their forms, even to dare utopia and to challenge it beyond measure. Force obeys duty. Wisdom forms through reality's hardship. No matter the lack of comfort and the annoyance for someone who simultaneously possesses the courage to live and to act.

[SIZE=+1]Capricorn[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Extinctive Inhibition[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Active and generalised systematisation[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Cristal (structure of crystallisation)[/SIZE]
"Moving the assemblage point is everything. (...) So, close the door of self-reflection. Be impeccable and you'll have the energy to reach the place of silent knowledge." (Carlos Castaneda, The Power of Silence)
Capricorn rids himself of the insufficient, of the superfluous, of the artificial, of the random, of the futile which covers each phenomenon in its manifestation, to retain only the strictly necessary (detachment, exactingness, sobriety, austerity, exactness, probity....). He aspires to perfection. His anxiousness for objectivity and his search for the 'truth', the absolute, imply the definition of invariant, of constant properties and permanent elements, beyond the existential circumstantial conditioning factors. The reasoned construction of the natural and social environment is the design of an uninterested intelligence, serving an abstract ideal without concession. One needs to be serious about the necessary, beyond illusory appearances, and order it in accordance with the purest principles.

[SIZE=+1]Aquarius[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Re-creative excitement[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Concentrated extinction[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Code (structure of conciliation)[/SIZE]
"Believe or do not believe what you will be taught, but never make any objection. Imagine that you are taught the rules of whist." (Stendhal, The Charterhouse of Parma)
Aquarius is open to everything that gets lost and disappears; he rehabilitates abandoned ideas and updates forgotten values. No prejudice commands this restoration of the past, this assembly of renovated elements (independence, curiosity, cleverness, originality...). The organism no longer has a centre of gravity : he transforms himself according to the solicitations of the moment. Every reality is indirectly in keeping with the environment. Beyond the old and the new, the essential and the incidental, the deep and the superficial, transcending fashions and routines, Aquarius takes pleasure in the abstract exchange without a priori, in the suspension of ego. Nothing is unbecoming, because only the fluctuations of the context of the intellectual game are relevant.

[SIZE=+1]Pisces[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Extinctive inhibition[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Global structuring[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The Matrix (structure of neutrality)[/SIZE]
"And this part of my being and several others are already dead, others half-dead, the most active which held the first rank during the vigour of my age. In this manner I melt and escape to myself." (Michel de Montaigne, Essays)
Most incitements are rejected, relativized, disintegrated. Pisces escapes any control and any subservience because he only reacts to essential signals. Warned in advance and notified against the unforeseen, he creeps, navigates and lives through situations and environments while blending with them. His mental plasticity protects him against fluctuations of the moment and keeps him at a distance from the variables conditioning factors which he neutralises (disengagement, relinquishment, asceticism, placidity...). He seems all the more impersonal, indifferent, dissolved, 'extinguished' since he does not assimilate anything, does not identify with anything, does not hold to anything. His 'contradictions' are explained by the ease with which he constantly changes his reference point.
