Astrology

Astrology is an ancient practice that originated thousands of years ago. It's based on the idea that the position and movements of celestial bodies like the Sun, moon, stars, and planets can affect our lives. The astrologer interprets these astrological "signs" to gain insight into a person's character, life path, relationships, career path, and more.

To interpret a person’s astrological chart, the astrologer looks at the relationship between the planets in different astrological signs and aspects (angles between planets). They then use this information to guide how best to navigate their life journey.

Each astrological sign has unique characteristics determined by its placement in the zodiac wheel. For example, Aries is characterised by being passionate, outgoing and assertive, while Virgo is known for being analytical, practical and detail-oriented. 12 astrological elements expand upon each sign’s traits; Fire signs emphasise creativity and enthusiasm; Earth signs represent stability; Air signs focus on communication. And Water signs foster emotionality.

In addition to astrology signs, astrologers also consider aspects such as houses—the area of life affected by a particular planet or sign—and transits which indicate how our lives will be affected by external influences at any given time. All these components – planetary movements, astrological elements and aspects – help astrologers explain our unique personalities and advise us on how best to make decisions during specific periods in our life.

Astrology readings are not intended to predict our future but rather give us insight into personal growth opportunities available right now to make positive changes in our lives. With this knowledge, we are better equipped with tools to tap into our potential for success in all areas of life so that we can live more authentic lives according to our true purpose.

Birth Chart

Astrology birth charts represent the astrological positions and movements of celestial bodies at the exact time and place of a person’s birth. It provides astrological insights into an individual’s personality and life path. The birth chart consists of 12 astrological houses representing different areas of life, such as relationships, careers, health, etc. Each house is ruled by a particular astrological sign, further defining its characteristics. The astrological planets are another vital component of the birth chart, along with asteroids, stars, fixed stars and other celestial bodies. Each planet represents different life aspects; for instance, the Sun is associated with identity and self-expression, while Venus is related to love and beauty. These astrological elements are placed in specific astrological signs within the birth chart. The position and arrangement of astrological planets at birth give insight into an individual’s character traits, strengths and challenges. Depending on their placement in a given house—and whether they form any aspects with other planets or signs—astrologers can advise how best to navigate certain periods in our lives. In addition to astrology signs and planets, astrologers also consider transits when reading an astrology birth chart. Transits indicate how external forces like planetary movements will influence our lives during any given time period. All these components – houses, astrology signs, planets and transits – help astrologers explain our unique personalities and guide us on how best to make decisions during distinct stages of our lives so that we can live more authentic lives according to our true purpose.

Astrological Symbolism

Astrological symbolism is an ancient practice used to interpret astrological data and readings. It is based on the belief that astrology symbols have a unique meaning that can offer insight into a person’s behaviour, character and destiny. Astrologers use astrology symbols to help identify patterns in an astrology chart and gain a deeper understanding of the individual’s life journey.

The astrological wheel comprises astrology signs, divided into elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Each element is associated with different traits such as creativity and enthusiasm (Fire), stability (Earth), communication (Air) and emotionality (Water). Circles represent the astrology symbols for each element with arrows pointing inwards or outwards, reflecting their respective qualities: inward-pointing arrows symbolise introspection, while outwardly-directed arrows represent an expression. Additionally, certain astrological symbols represent planets such as the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—each associated with distinct characteristics.

Aside from astrology symbols relating to elements and planets, there are also specific glyphs for astrological aspects like conjunctions (two planets aligned together at an angle), oppositions (two planets 180 degrees apart) and trines (aspects between two planets 120 degrees apart). These astrological aspects typically result in a blending or harmonising of energies between planets which strongly influences the interpretation of astrologer readings.

Astrological symbolism is also often used to interpret numerology readings—the study of numbers derived from a person’s name or birthdate, which signify energy or traits related to personal identity. Numerology symbols correspond to particular numbers allocated to letters in the alphabet; 1 stands for A, while 9 corresponds to I. In numerology readings, 2 is associated with partnership, while 8 represents power and control. Combinations of these astrology and numerology symbols are interpreted by astrologers who use them to gain more insights into an individual’s life path.

Overall, interpreting astrological symbolism involves understanding how particular combinations of elements interact within an astrology chart and how they relate to external influences like planetary movements at any given time. This combination of inner knowledge about ourselves and outer forces helps us better navigate our life journey by enabling us to make decisions that align with our true purpose so that we can live more authentic lives according to our destiny.

Chinese Astrology

Chinese astrology is an ancient practice that dates back thousands of years, using astrological symbols to interpret astrological data and astrologer readings. In Chinese astrology, the sky is divided into 12 sections, each corresponding to a Zodiac animal sign.

These astrology signs are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Each astrology sign has its own unique characteristics based on the five elements: metal (associated with determination and strength), wood (associated with creativity and growth), water (associated with emotionality and wisdom), fire (associated with enthusiasm and passion) and Earth (associated with stability). For example, the rat is associated with metal and represents intelligence and ambition; the ox symbolises Earth and stands for hard work; while the rabbit corresponds to wood, representing gentleness. In addition to astrology signs corresponding to animals in Chinese astrology, there are also four pillars of destiny or Ba Zi readings which involve analysing a person’s birth date—including year, month day, and time—to gain insight into their character traits. These four pillars consist of two sets of characters representing yin energy – related to the moon phase during birth – and yang energy – related to the sun phase during birth. Combining these two types of energies gives insight into a person’s fate. The Chinese Zodiac cycle repeats itself every 12 years, meaning those born within this time period share similar personalities despite having different astrological signs. Furthermore, these 12-year cycles can be further broken down into yearly phases, which have certain themes associated with them, resulting in events that tend to be experienced by all people born within that year regardless of their astrological sign. 

Overall, Chinese astrology provides invaluable guidance when navigating life journeys by helping us understand our inner self through analysing our personality traits linked to astrological symbols and interpreting external influences using various forms of divination such as feng shui or I Ching readings.. By understanding both sides, we can make decisions that align more closely with our true purpose to live more authentic lives according to our destiny.

Astrological theory

The astrological theory is a complex and fascinating concept, with various astrological schools of thought having different theories about how astrology works. One astrological school of thought bases astrology on the notion that the planets and stars have a direct influence on events here on Earth and our lives. This belief posits that there are connections between celestial bodies’ positions at the time of a person’s birth and their character traits, life events, and even destiny.

The Greek philosopher Plato was one of the first to develop astrological theories. He believed that astrology was an exact science, describing it as “the oldest of sciences” due to its ability to accurately predict earthly events. His astrological system used mathematical calculations to determine astrological sign placements within birth charts as well as alignments between planets at any given moment in time. Following his lead many astrologers today take into account planetary movements when interpreting astrology readings.

Another astrological school of thought views astrology from a more metaphysical perspective, connecting astrology with ancient wisdom teachings such as Taoism and Buddhism, which emphasise harmony between humans and nature, as well as relationships between cycles of energy inside us in the external world. From this point of view, astrology is seen more as a tool for self-discovery than for predicting future outcomes based on past happenings. Practitioners believe that by studying our individual birth charts we can uncover unique aspects about ourselves that help us gain insight into our true purpose by connecting us to universal truths about human existence.

Overall, astrologers have been researching astrology theories for centuries to gain a deeper understanding of how our destinies are shaped by outer energies such as planetary movements combined with inner spiritual knowledge about ourselves revealed through birth chart analysis. By studying these two sides together we can unlock valuable insights into our life journey, enabling us to make more conscious decisions according to our true purpose so that we can live authentically according to our destiny.

Moon 

Moon astrology is a branch of astrological interpretation that uses the lunar cycles to predict an individual’s future. It is based on the idea that astrology works by connecting the energies in the universe with those of human beings and that by studying these connections, astrologers can gain insight into a person’s destiny. Moon astrology takes this idea one step further, theorising that by studying the moon’s phases, we can gain additional insight into our lives and make more informed decisions.

When it comes to making predictions using moon astrology, astrologers pay special attention to what phase of the moon was present at a person’s birth or at any given moment in time. The most commonly used phases are New Moon, First Quarter Moon, Full Moon and Last Quarter Moon. Each phase has its own energy signature, which astrologers use to interpret a person’s chart or situation more deeply.

New Moon: The new moon is associated with beginnings and fresh starts as well as new projects, plans or intentions. It’s also seen as a time for resetting our intentions for ourselves and for our lives. Astrologers believe that when someone is born under a new moon phase, it indicates they will have great opportunities in life but will also need to confront their shadows before achieving success.

First Quarter Moon: Around this phase, there is intense energy which encourages us to take action towards achieving something – whether that’s a creative project, starting a business or pursuing other ambitious goals. People born during this period tend to be highly driven individuals who don’t shy away from challenges.

Full Moon: This phase is linked with completion, manifestation, and clarity around dreams and desires. People born during this time are believed to be highly intuitive individuals who understand their unique gifts and use them to bring their ideas into reality.

Last Quarter Moon: This phase is associated with introspection and reflection allowing us to take stock of where we are in life while also letting go of anything no longer serving us well such as relationships or habits. People born under this period tend to be very self-aware individuals who strive hard for personal growth while remaining grounded in their values even amidst chaos or difficulties they may face along their journey in life.

Overall, moon astrology provides invaluable guidance in making important decisions in life by helping astrologers analyse how external forces like planetary movements can influence our lives according to lunar phases combined with inner spiritual knowledge about ourselves revealed through birth chart analysis. By understanding both sides we can make decisions that align more closely with our true purpose so we can live authentically according to our destiny.

Life Path 

Life path astrology is a branch of astrological interpretation that uses the astrological chart to provide insight into an individual’s life purpose, destiny, and potential. It is based on the idea that astrology works by connecting the energies in the universe with those of human beings and that by studying these connections, astrologers can gain insight into our life journey.

Life path astrology takes this idea one step further, theorising that by studying the placement of planets in relation to each other in a person’s astrological chart, astrologers can gain additional insight into our overall life path. This system differs from traditional astrology, focusing more narrowly on how planetary movements affect particular areas of our lives. Instead, life path astrology looks at how different elements within a person’s birth chart interact to create their unique lifestyle and karmic experiences to fulfil their spiritual destiny.

By studying a person’s life path astrological chart, we can understand their soul desires and needs to be truly fulfilled. This includes uncovering their individual gifts or innate talents and uncovering any blocks or challenges they might face along their journey so they can take steps towards overcoming them. Life path astrology also helps us make sense of any difficult or traumatic events we may have gone through or are currently experiencing as part of our spiritual growth process.

Astrologers also use certain components, such as major aspects between planets (conjunctions, sextiles, trines etc.) and special points such as Chiron or Uranus to interpret further aspects related to our destiny, including personal relationships and career paths. By understanding how these aspects manifest energetically within us we can begin to make more conscious decisions according to our true purpose so that we live authentically according to our destiny rather than being driven solely by external forces like money or popularity.

Overall, life path astrology provides invaluable guidance when it comes to making important decisions in life by helping astrologers analyse how external forces like planetary movements interact with internal spiritual knowledge about ourselves revealed through birth chart analysis. By looking at both sides together, we can unlock valuable insights into our individual journey enabling us to make conscious choices based on our authentic truth rather than being swayed solely by societal norms or expectations so that, ultimately, we can achieve fulfilment in all areas of our live
