temperature you can feel. These dramatic changes offer their own input into the Ecosystem. Each level of
change in the moister, temperature and light is known as a micro-climate.
The bottom of a knoll will have a different micro-climate than the top of the knoll. Its not a dramatic
major change, like going into a cave, but it could mean the difference in what type of plant will grow at
the bottom from the plant that will grow at the top.
The tree connects to the ecosystem and micro-climates of the regional environments. Certain trees will
not grow in the desert but will thrive in the tropics. This is due to the conditioning of the genetic structure
of the tree.
The tree family, however, adapts quickly within a few generations and will adapt to most to all
Ecosystems. The movement is extremely slow but has been documented. Conifers are the best example
of this. They are found through out the globe.
To have this natural adjustment come to pass rapidly, humans have created hybrids of original family tree
lines. Enhancing a character in the tree to perform to the Ecosystem that is created in gardens while still
being able to withstand the regional environment to which it is being planted. The mimosa (or the silk
tree) is a good example of this. They have been trained and can live in the driest deserts and the most
humid tropics. The amount of leaves it will allow to its own Crown depends on the Micro-climate and
Ecosystem.
When looking for a tree to connect with, one should not look for specific trees but rather the
Micro-climate and Ecosystem to which the tree is growing in. Its easy to look in a book and find the
generalize information of given trees. Then point to it and claim it as your tree totem. But then the true
connection to the tree is lost. You would learn nothing of its essence or spirit. The tree as well could not
impart wisdom to you.
That makes our own individuality is not how we stand but rather what we chose to stand in. The tree can
not select the area in which it grows but can make the best with what it has. The Trees Micro-climate and
Ecosystem should be compared with our own. Then when the connection is made, can we say, "yes, this
is who I am, this is my tree totem."

General information: Introduction to the Houses
Posted by: Mysteron on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 07:20 PM
An astrology chart divides a circle into 12 parts, or Houses. There are many systems of
house division. ArtCharts uses the Placidus system, which is *industry standard*. Houses
describe where experiences occur.
1st HOUSE
The first house and the sign that rules the first house, which is also known as the Ascendant
or Rising sign, describes your outer personality and physical attributes. To some extent it also describes
your health and the type of illnesses you may experience.
2nd HOUSE
The second house describes material assets, how you handle monetary income, and the potential ways it
may be earned. It also indicates the values and priorities you establish throughout life.
3rd HOUSE
The third house describes your mental state, intellectual orientation, self-expression and communication,
early education, mechanical dexterity and skills, immediate environment (neighborhood), and siblings. It
indicates physical actions, and transportation, especially within your immediate environment. To a
