Research shows that humans have 97% of the same atoms as the stars. Just as we give off a vibe, so do the Planets.
We don't need to believe in Astrology to take advantage of this great practice, just as we don't need to believe in psychology to benefit from therapy and psychological techniques.
Astrology is a science that has been used for centuries to gain insight into the human psyche and understand the connection between ourselves and the universe. Examining the movements of the planets can help us understand our personality traits and our environment.
Astrology analyzes your birth time, location, and birthplace, and compares this information to where the planets were at that specific time to create your personal Natal Chart (AKA your Horoscope).
* Fun Fact: No two Natal Charts are identical; even twins have different Natal Charts.
There are three main components of your Natal Chart:
Planets
Signs
Houses
Astrology is more than saying,
"I'm a Leo or a Sagittarius."
There are ten planets and two main points included in your Natal Chart, each representing a part of your personality. Your Sun Sign is just ONE aspect of your entire personality.
The Planet Table below briefly explains each planet and what it represents. (Feel free to take it).
Planet | Represents |
|---|---|
Sun | Your fullest expression, your ego, and identity |
Moon | Subconscious mind, memories, and the emotional energy that influences your mood |
Mercury | How you process information, the connection between inner thoughts and outward expression. |
Venus | How you want to be loved and how you love, relationships, harmony and balance |
Mars | Passion, drive, and the energy behind your desires and strength |
Jupiter | Expansion, your higher self, and the philosophical version of you |
Saturn | Discipline, responsibility, and inner guidance |
Uranus | Your uniqueness and freedom of expression (your weirdo qualities) |
Neptune | Psychic ability, dreams, illusions, intuition, and spirituality |
Pluto | Transformation and destruction to evolve and heal |
North Node | The lessons you are here to learn, your life path |
South Node | Your karma, hidden gifts, and innate traits are passed down to you. |
Everyone has the same planets in their chart. We all have a Sun, representing the fullest expression of who we are; Mercury, representing our communication style; Venus, representing our love language; and so on.
How you express these different personality traits is based on the sign each planet is in.
For example, if your Sun is in Leo, your fullest expression is creative with a dramatic flair. If your Sun is in Virgo, your fullest expression is more internal, and you are your best self when analyzing and problem-solving.
Again, this is only ONE aspect of your entire personality. The other planets represent your passion, communication style, psychic ability, and life lessons. The combination of ALL the planets in your chart determines your life trajectory (not just your sun sign).
This is why going to a TRAINED astrologer is extremely important for an accurate analysis. Astrologers understand that your horoscope is determined by the sum of all your planets, signs, and aspects.
The language of Astrology is expressed in symbols called glyphs. Each planet and sign has its own glyph used in the Natal Chart to show you where the planets are in your chart.
As you can see below, the Sun is in the sign of Taurus.
Your Natal Chart will include much more than just the Sun. It will look like a variation of the below.
Using our Planet Table from earlier, we can identify what parts of our personality each planet represents. Let's zoom into the chart above to further our understanding of this concept.
Our table tells us that Neptune represents psychic ability, dreams, illusions, intuition, and spirituality. Neptune is in the sign of Virgo, which represents routines, introspection, analysis, and problem-solving.
If this were your personality trait, you would naturally find spiritual meaning in everyday tasks and routines. You would innately analyze spiritual concepts, dreams, or hidden energies to understand more about yourself.
To align with your natural vibration, you could find ways to incorporate mindfulness, meditation, or prayer into your daily routines. This is only one aspect of your personality that could help you solve problems creatively or understand how your brain works.
Astrology is a guide or roadmap, it doesn't dictate your destination.
Astrology can help you understand the different parts of your personality, potential opportunities, and challenges. You can choose not to align with your innate personality, completely change your identity, or align with something else you feel more aligned to.
Astrology shows you the potential of who you could be when you align with who you are, but ultimately, your choices, actions, and free will are the driving forces behind your life. The future is not set in stone, so it's up to you to trust and believe in yourself.
*Real Talk: If you are doubtful or refuse to take a risk on yourself, your potential will not be realized.
Whether you consult an astrologer for daily guidance, life decisions, or a deeper understanding of your authentic self, remember that you are the architect of your own destiny.
This article was meant to scratch the surface of Astrology and debunk any misconceptions you may have. In future posts, We will discuss the planets, signs, and houses more.
So, what did we learn today?
Astrology is not a belief system; it's a science that analyzes our personalities and planets.
Astrologers can create your Natal Chart by analyzing your birth time, date, and location, including your personality traits, gifts, challenges, and life trajectory.
Astrology is much more than your Sun sign and includes ten planets that make up your entire personality.
The language of Astrology is expressed in symbols called glyphs.Â
Astrology is a guide that shows your potential, but your choices and actions determine if that potential is realized.
