Chinese astrologers refer to the Moon's Nodes as the Dragon's Head and Tail and give it tremendous attention as to the placement in the natal chart. Sadly, practical modern astrologers tend to ignore its very existence and in the process, lose a wealth of valuable information. To my knowledge, the Dragon, in itself, holds as much, if not more, facts and power than the entire complexity of a whole astrological chart! This article give you the knowledge to understand the Dragon in your personal horoscope.

Jacques-Benigne Bossuet (September 27, 1627 - April 12, 1704) was a French bishop, theologian, and court preacher.

During his early political career, Mao developed his political thinking. His ideas have had a monumental impact on generations of Chinese and have significantly affected the rest of the world. Mao sought to transform traditional Marxism into a political ideology that could be implemented in a primarily agrarian economy such as China. Marx, whom Mao read voraciously, had focused his analysis of capitalism on the industrial economies of Western Europe and, accordingly, wage labor. China at the time was more of an agrarian economy, and m ...

On the accession of Mary I in July 1553, Foxe was deprived of his tutorship by the children's' grandfather, the Duke of Norfolk, who was now released from prison. Foxe stayed in London, writing in January 1554 to a friend in the Dutch Stranger Church in London that he did not wish to leave and join the Marian exiles. But leave he soon did as the political climate worsened and Foxe felt personally threatened by bishop Stephen Gardiner. Foxe sailed with his then pregnant wife from Ipswich to Nieuwpoort, and then travelled to Amsterdam, Rotterd ...

Starting about 113 BC, Emperor Wu appeared to begin to display further signs of abusing his power. He began to incessantly tour the commanderies, initially nearby Chang'an, but later extending to much farther places, worshipping the various gods on the way, perhaps again in the search of immortality. He also had a succession of magicians whom he honored with great things, even, in one case, making one a marquess and marrying a daughter to him. (That magician, after he was exposed to be a fraud, however, was executed.) Emperor Wu's expenditur ...
