Astrology

Many people think of astrology as a newspaper’s one-sentence predictions for the day ahead; the little pearls of advice to keep in mind while plunging blindly into the future. It’s human nature to want to know the unknown. However, newspaper astrology is vague, and it seems the cryptic predictions can be applied to just about anything. How can the stars, skeptics ask, really predict our future?

Astrologers and astrology devotees retort that the astrology found in the newspaper approaches nowhere near the depth and subtlety of a professional astrologer analyzing a birth chart. Not only that, but astrologers go to great pains to explain that astrology is not predictive – it’s not going to explain what is going to happen that day, or that month, or that year.

Instead, astrology is interpretive: An astrological chart can show a person’s tendencies, challenges, abilities and potential. An astrological chart, when read by a professional astrologer, can help people get to know themselves better.

Most people know what their sun signs are, but just as there is much more to astrology than newspaper predictions, there is much more to an astrological chart than a person’s Sun sign.


Astrology Signs
In astrology, the sky is divided into 12 parts, known as constellations. Each constellation is represented by a different sign, and each sign represents different traits and qualities. The foundation for astrology is this system of signs, known as the zodiac.

The most fundamental sign is a person’s Sun sign. The Sun sign depends on the sun’s location in the sky at the moment of a person’s birth. The Sun signs are:


Aries the Ram – March 20 to April 19
Taurus the Bull – April 20 to May 20
Gemini the Twins – May 21 to June 20
Cancer the Crab – June 21 to July 22
Leo the Lion – July 23 to August 22
Virgo the Virgin – August 23 to September 22
Libra the Scales – September 23 to October 22
Scorpio the Scorpion – October 23 to November 21
Sagittarius the Archer – November 22 to December 21
Capricorn the Goat – December 22 to January 19
Aquarius the Water Bearer – January 20 to February 18
Pisces the Fish – February 19 to March 19

Each sign represents different traits. People born under the Sun sign Gemini (also stated as Sun in Gemini) tend to be witty, loquacious and curious, while those born under the sign of Pisces (Sun in Pisces) are known as dreamers, sensitive and poetic.

Skeptics point out that it’s ridiculous to think that all people born under the same sign would be exactly the same, and they’re right. But that’s not the belief that astrology holds. Actually, it would be foolish and wrong to say that all people born under the sign of Gemini are witty and curious. More details are factored into an astrological profile – the Sun sign is just one of the basics.


Astrology Planets
The location of the moon and the planets of the solar system at the time of one’s birth play a huge role in an astrological chart. Additionally, each planet represents a different aspect of the self.


Sun: the essential self.
Moon: emotions and instinct.
Mercury: communication and thought.
Venus: love and the arts.
Mars: physical energy and combativeness.
Jupiter: prosperity and good fortune.
Saturn: imitation, organization and ambition.
Uranus: originality and inventiveness.
Neptune: dreams and imagination.
Pluto: renewal and transformation.
The planets and signs work together to express various aspects of a personality. For example, let’s say the planet Venus is in the sign of Gemini (Venus in Gemini) at the time of a person’s birth. We already know that Venus represents love, among other things, and that Gemini is witty, loquacious and curious. Putting the two together, we can suggest that this person might be somewhat flirtatious, flitting from romance to romance, and attracted to witty conversationalists.

One way of thinking about the signs and planets is that the sign represents how something is expressed, while the planet represents what is expressed.


Astrology Houses
Adding even more depth to the astrological chart is the concept of houses. In addition to the 12 signs of the zodiac, the sky is divided into 12 houses. Where the planets fall in the house layout will also affect the reading of a chart.

Each astrological house represents different aspects of a person’s life. Some of the major aspects for each house are:


First House: appearance and disposition.
Second House: material goods.
Third House: communication and siblings.
Fourth House: home and roots.
Fifth House: romance and creativity.
Sixth House: employment and health.
Seventh House: partnerships.
Eighth House: sex and death.
Ninth House: higher education and religion.
Tenth House: career.
Eleventh House: friendship.
Twelfth House: secrets and self-undoing.

The planets and signs interact with the houses to add complexity and richness to a chart reading. If the signs represent how something is expressed and the planets represent what is being expressed, the houses represent where those things are expressed.

For example, suppose somebody’s chart shows Venus in the Third House. Venus is the planet representing love and the arts, while the Third House represents communication and siblings. This person might enjoy writing or literature, or be an eloquent speaker. Perhaps one of this person’s siblings is an artist or involved in the arts.

Though signs, planets and houses are the fundamental building blocks of astrology, there are more aspects involved in a thorough chart reading, including the placement of certain asteroids, ascendant and descendant signs, and even how the planets interact with one another on the chart itself.
