An "Earth Mother" would be one whose chart has great strength in the Earth signs, particularly Capricorn and/or his opposite, Cancer. I'd say those with the luminaries both in Cappie and/or Cancer are particularly good with the whole idea of "nurturing", be it a literal or figurative family, animals, plants, what have you.
And yes, astrology is a marvelous tool for understanding.

A Gemini with a nurturing bent????  Oh my....don't let that get out!! That oughtta confuse everyone!!  giggle...
Ok, Sci....here's one for you...each sign progresses to the next sign at some point...does this happen later in life, or is it dependent on the planet positions, or something else?
Oh, and another one...have you ever heard of the "Cosmic Woman?"

Ha ha! You could well have Venus in Cancer, you know, since she is found only in the same sign as the Sun or the one before or after. A great deal of emphasis on the 4th house in particular will often also present as nurturing tendencies.
Properly done, astrology is like peeling through layers of information laid out in map form.
The natal chart is intended to capture our first breath, figuratively "imprinting" us with a specific configuration of planets and their resulting energies. It is the foundation of who we are here on Earth. Progressions start at birth because the Wheel continues to turn and so we begin our lifelong evolution.
The progressed chart, then, is the lessons, if you will, the soul is assimilating at any given moment in time. These come on top of and in concert with the basic personality shown in the natal chart.
"Cosmic Woman"? No, I can't say I'm familiar with her. Who is she?

LOL.....no, Beachnut, I am not Wonder Woman...LOL
I vaguely remember reading about the Cosmic Woman, and I believe it was in one of Linda Goodman's books. Darn but that woman knew what she was talking about!
If I remember correctly, the Cosmic Woman (or person for that matter), is someone who has gone through the phases of all signs and has assimilated their positive traits into her own. She is everything positive, including calm, centered, nurturing , balanced, happy, etc....
I was just wondering if anyone else had read or heard about her and what some other thoughts were on the topic.
Oh, and yes, I do have Venus in Cancer!! Do you do charts, Sci?????

Yes, Empath. I am a professional astrologer. Have been for a good number of years now. It has taken somewhat of a backseat to my wildlife rehabiliation, though.
You know, I have and have read all of Linda's books and don't recall mention of a "Cosmic Woman". Will have to thumb through them again, I suppose. But the concept is certainly a nice one!

Good to see the balanced Pete back. Part philosopher, part comedian, and part Lumberjack ........
Sci Do you believe, in your professional astrological opinion, that, in a dating couple, astrology should be a HIGH priority, or could practical experience in the relationship circumvent a relationship based primarily on astrological considerations. The short version what percentage of a couples success should be based on astrology. If I were a Scorpio, which I am should I only look for a certain sign for my life mate?

Sci That question was directed at you, a professional astrologer, so I will leave it alone, even though my fingers are itching to answer!
Also, I must extend an apology,  and sincerely hope you have not already begun scouring Linda's books. I'm sorry. It was Judith Bennet who wrote about the Cosmic Woman in her book Sex Signs which by the way, is an excellent study on the traits of women in each of the twelve sun signs. Here is an exerpt from Sex Signs, The Cosmic Woman, p.489:
"The Cosmic Woman represents the completed Zodiac.She is a combination of all the influences that make a fulfilled and actualized life. In her, the energies of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are perfectly balanced, each exercising its own influence, but in perfect harmony and balance.
The Cosmic Woman is aware of all the vibrations of the different planets and has learned to use them to vitalize and energize her life. Therefore, no one planet or astrological house dominates her life. They all vibrate in perfect harmony, as she does. Every planet, every house, every correspondence is important to her, for to be wise she must know how to flow with the energies and how to focus them to do her bidding. Having learned that her finite nature is tied to an infinite source, she recognizes the limitations she must respect; but fully knowing herself, she recognizes also the myriad manifestations she can actualize within her sphere."
Any thoughts?

Beach, every sign has the ability to get along with any other sign. And you are more than just your Sun sign so basing anything off of that alone will get you nowhere.
The question is more one of: how hard are you willing to work to get along with someone whose basic makeup is very different than yours? Not everyone can or is willing to do it but some can so there isn't really any way to predict compatability. All astrology can do is point out where you'll probably run into speed bumps. And often, I have found, understanding those speed bumps helps increase the odds of staying together. Or at least not breaking up bitterly, but instead with a deeper understanding and compassion.
I'm interested in your take on this, Empath, so please, type away! And thanks for the clarification about the Cosmic Woman.

Sci, my take on Beachnut's question is the same as yours: any sign can get along with any sign, but some combinations are smoother than others. The more we understand where our partner is coming from, and how he/she views life and people, the easier it is to 'get along'. There is little that I can say, that you did not already state (and very well at that), and I do not wish to bore anyone with redundancy, so I will leave things as they are, except to add one note: my belief is that no astrologer worth their salt will ever tell someone that they are not compatible with any other sign, they will only point out the areas of possible trouble and misunderstandings.
Beach, it is as Sci stated, it all depends on how willing you are to 'accept your partner's viewpoint when it differs from your own, how much space you can give her to be herself, and a good understanding of each other's approach to life, people, and difficulties.
I have to get my day started now, I will check back later....Have a great day, everyone......

Well, I've married and divorced twice - both tauruses. I tend to skip those whose profile says taurus.

I wonder Pete, if there are people that are out there that are of the opinion that, "my chart said this person was perfect for me"...... and they were.
I was with a Piscean woman who according to the charts was PERFECT for me.....one of the most tumultuous relationships I have ever been in. I looked so hard for the commonality, and I believe she did too. We finally stopped trying to make a relationship and found a friendship that still exists.
I believe there is a difference between a 21 year old (fill in the blank astrology sign)and a 55 year old as far as life experiences, and that enables or disables communication. My take on it, I believe the characteristics of my "sign" have changed as life has progressed. Scorpio's are not known as the "great communicators" but as life has gone on for me I see myself communicating better than I ever have.......NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS  
Anyone else have a take on this please share. Not trying to turn this into an astrological thread its all germain in achieving spirituality, how we evolve in our life experiences.

Not likely - and certainly not HERE. I guess I don't get along with (stubborn) Tauruses because, well, (It won't come as a shock to anyone here that) I'm very opinionated and, after all, who knows more about what's right than me?  Actually, I'm obviously attracted to Tauruses so I guess that's saying something.
So Sci, are you going to do all our charts for us?

I must say that this is one of the most POSITIVE and informative threads I've run across on a dating site. Thanks, Empath. I guess you knew what we needed. Lots of resources for those of us on a perpetual quest. I am a Reiki master, student sound healer, singer, writer, and intuitive artist, and have found much here to agree with and learn from.
Those of you interested in Reiki might enjoy "The Soul of Reiki" by Walte Lubeck, William Lee Rand, and another guy I can't remember (oldtimers disease) as it discusses not only technique, but history and philosophy of Reiki. For Sound Healing, the works of Don Campbell, Mitchell Gaynor, Jsshua Leeds, Kay Gardner, Jonathan Goldman, and Alfred Tomatis are resources for the various approaches and techniques in this field.
Energy is Energy. However we sense or measure it, it exists in and around uw, with or without us, and is there for us to use. Whether we choose to connect to one another or blow each other up is for each of us to decide. I prefer to connect, thanks
Pete, I've read with great interest of your use of carved gemstones. I've used and collected crystals for years, and have several friends who do lapidary work, but yours is the first mention I've run across of using the nature of the stone and a created shape synergistically. Do you have a website with photos? Or perhaps we could discuss it more in depth by mail?.
Again, thanks to all of you participating in this thread for the lovely positive flow of ideas you're sending into the universe.
Namaste,
SS

Welcome. I don't have a website with photos, sorry. We can, however, discuss this in as much depth and detail as you like. Unless anyone objects, we can do it right here - it's as good a place as any - and I'm sure other's won't be bothered by the discussion.

Ok, that was quick...
So are you placing the stones on energy centers while healing? I've done this with natural crystals with good effect. What shapes are you using and what determines which shape to use? I know a little bit about Sacred Geometry, as it applies to natural forms and growth, and musical intervals (Pythagoras, Fibonacci, et al), and one of the healers I'm studying with has a huge copper Dodecahedron as part of her vibracoustic table Iit's called a Soundweaver, and can produce amazing out-of-body experiences simply from lying in it and listening to music.).
Do you correlate the vibrational frequencies of the stones to particular body frequencies?

It depends. Sometimes the stones are embedded inside teeth, sometimes combinations of stones are worn as rings or pendants.
What shapes are you using and what determines which shape to use?
I'm using all shapes, from heart-shapes to trilliants, rounds, emerald, marquis shapes - and cushioned and non-cushioned squares, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons - some in long rod shapes, some more truncated. The person I work with, a sensitive, determines what sizes, shapes and materials are used.

This sounds fascinating to me. Have you experienced it for yourself?
Do you correlate the vibrational frequencies of the stones to particular body frequencies?
No, I don't. I don't know what criteria the sensitive person uses to determine what is needed - although I know he uses muscle-testing for some of his choices. The work I did with magnetic resonance, however, did directly utilize body frequencies and energy centers, even accupuncture / accupressure points for the direct application of resonance.
