This idea came to me out of the blue. Being a professional astrologer (by hobby, not by career), it was only a matter of time that I apply what I know to the M5 project. I guess I could do something called The Astrology of the M5 Project. Maybe after I relocate in July.

This brief article takes the 12 signs of the Zodiac from Earth and translates them to the sequential and simultaneous paths. This is not individual, personal astrology here, so I better not get any emails saying “I’m a (fill in the blank) and I’m not this way”. I will personally go to your house and slap the hell out of you for not paying attention to what I just said. I use to tell my classes the same thing when I taught adult evening Intro To Astrology. The Matrix V books are written for a select group. I’ve been saying that for years.

These comments hold very true and will give you a bit of insight into how the energies of the Zodiac touch both paths. The air/fire signs are all masculine and the water/earth signs are always feminine, hence the correct usage of he/she in the text.

Aries: This fire sign is a pioneer and loves to be challenged. Boring is not for him. Therefore Aries is an excellent simultaneous path sign. The challenges are far more intense and immense here than the sequential path can ever be. This is one of the allies of the simultaneous path and its heralds. Aries loves to be dared and the simultaneous path is THE dare of the Game for him.

Taurus: One of the practical Earth signs who does not like shocks and surprises. This body-oriented sign is an ally of the sequential path. As long as Taurus has her material comforts, she is quite content to otherwise be stagnant. The rabble rouser simultaneous path signs cause this one discomfort. She will close the door to the chaos and be surrounded by her physical comforts.

Gemini:  A fidgety air sign, Gemini is never satisfied experiencing a single thing at a time for very long. Therefore the simultaneous path is the perfect one for him. Gemini can communicate, as all air signs do, in thousands and thousands of expressions at a time. This will ensure the lack of boredom at the least. Gemini eagerly follows those who pave new paths for new adventures on this path.

Cancer: While an intuitive and sensitive water sign, Cancer is rooted in the past and traditions. Simultaneous path energies are just too damned new and upsetting to this homey sign. She would rather remember the past than consider the future that might threaten stability. She is far more comfortable with the likes of Taurus and other sequential signs than the simultaneous path icons.

Leo: Fire sign Leo is full of show and ego. He is a good transition sign between the solid, traditional sequential path signs and the rebellious, unconventional simultaneous path group. Since Leo is the opposite of simultaneous path icon Aquarius, he can see Aquarius’ points and can assist the sequentials in understanding some of his concepts. Leo needs to be praised and will seek it from both paths. He deserves it for being able to bridge the gap in many (but not all) cases.

Virgo: Earthy Virgo, detail oriented, fussy and body-oriented, Virgo is far more comfortable with the other sequential path signs. Nevertheless, analyzing and sorting through the radicals of the simultaneous path can be a major interest. Virgo wants to understand how things function. This desire to dissect intent can make Virgo one of those signs that can explain some of the attractions for the simultaneous path even if she would not feel comfortable being on it. The body-orientation gets in the way and makes sequential path activities more stable. One thing at a time.

Libra: The air sign that is comfortable on the sequential path. Libra likes calm situations, balance (with a small ‘b’) and harmony. No boat rocking, only nice scenery and pleasant conversation. He looks for equals, not revolutionaries and chaotic experiences. Libra and Cancer can sip tea at a Taurus house discussing the security of the sequential path. This sign can view Aquarius, Gemini and Sagittarius as embarrassing for not conforming to a peaceful path. Nice and pleasant appearing, Libra would prefer comforts and security to change and daring where these comforts may be lost.

Scorpio: This intense water sign is motivated by transformation and control. Due to this, she can be allied with either sequential or simultaneous paths. On the sequential path, Scorpio wants to control others and manipulate them for Darker purposes. On the simultaneous path, Scorpio wants to transform self to their highest potential. Control of self overrides control of others. However, no matter which path, if you cross them, you make an enemy. Intense and sexual, Scorpio must have what it needs.

Sagittarius: The number one ally to Aquarian ideals, this fire sign loves the situations that Aquarius can stir. Sagittarius is less disciplined that Aquarius, though. The simultaneous path is the only path that will allow his multiple expressions to shine. A fun-loving sign, Sagittarius, like Gemini, is easily bored. Sagittarius can think of the sequential path as ‘been there, done that’. Sagittarian fire does best being fed by Aquarian air.

Capricorn: Traditional, conservative, restrictive Earth makes Capricorn one of the perfect sequential sign allies. Capricorn is put off by those who extol the joys of the simultaneous path. Like Cancer, its opposite, tradition and singularity of purpose are what matters. Stable, unmoving and cheap add to her being far more comfortable with the other sequential path, allied signs. No gambling of the future here.

Aquarius: THE sign of the simultaneous path experience. Rebellious, independent, strikes out on the new paths with a unique style. This sign does not care if no one desires to go where he goes. The unknown and unconventional calls. This is the sign of the Matrix V project in its entirety. Aquarius is an air sign and electric in nature. Our Higher Selves are air (communicative) and electric in nature. Aquarius will go where no one else will even consider.

Pisces: This sensitive water sign is very psychic. Being so enables it to function well on the simultaneous path. She is intuitive and looks for higher understanding. Provided that this signs talents are used properly and escapism/drugs/alcohol addictions are rejected, this sign can follow paths that Aquarius has started. This makes Pisces an excellent simultaneous path sign.
