Background Beliefs



Astrologers have used the heavens above as a calendar and map for more than 5,000 years to gain knowledge about the cycles of Culture, as well as, insights into the mysterious blueprint of individual destinies. The truism "As Above So Below" is as apropos today as it was in the times of Hermes in ancient Egypt. When you took your first breath, the Heavens above the Earth imprinted your physical body, your mind, your emotions, your psyche and your soul with patterns and potentials that affect every area of your life and well being in progressive cycles of growth and evolution.

Astrology uses the sacred geometry of a 360ocircle divided into twelve astrology signs of 30o each (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces) to form twelve houses. Each astrology sign has a glyph or symbol. For example, the glyph for the first astrology sign Aries is Astrological Astrology Planets Zodiac Articles Astrology Symbol for Aries. Some keywords for Aries are pioneer, eager, keen, courageous, strong willed, self-confident, spirited, leader, new beginnings, assertive, aggressive, enthusiastic, adventurous, action oriented, spontaneous, ingenuous, daring, intrepid, stamina, fiery, dynamic, dauntless, direct, decisive, daring, and bold.

Aries rules the first house of your horoscope chart. Each of the houses represents a specific area of activity in an individual's life. Some keywords for the first house are personal identity, initial approach to life, "I AM", self-awareness, your personality, the way you respond to outside stimuli, individual self-expression, basic character, the aura, quality of consciousness, the impression your physical appearance makes on others, self-image, personal mannerisms, strength and vitality of your body, anima, projected image, expression of inner motivation, early environment and conditioning, and your soul purpose.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Each astrology sign has a planet which acts as a guiding light or an energetics beacon for the sign. Some keywords for Mars are physical desires, active assertiveness, expressed wants, active courage, disciplined conflict, energetic intensity, inherent tensions, sexual vitality, and devoted idealism..

The planets in your astrology chart form geometric aspects to each other, and then throughout your life they also form aspects to transiting planets in the heavens above. If for example you were born when the Sun was in Aries and the Moon was in Cancer it is possible that there is a square aspect between your Sun sign and your Moon sign which can either be exact or wide, applying or separating at the time of your birth. In general squares are one of the more difficult aspects but sometimes squares can also act as foundational building blocks or stairway steps.

If you had been born instead with your Sun in Aries and your Moon in Leo, then the angle between the planets might have formed a trine aspect which is generally very favorable unless you need an impetus to complete something since it makes things easy in that area of your life. If transiting Pluto in Sagittarius formed a trine to this trine aspect that would also be significant.

This intricate rainbow weaving of planets, signs, aspects, and houses influences all areas of your life including your personality, finances, resources, family, communications, children, creativity, romantic relationships, employment, marriage, partnerships, inheritances, philosophies, social status, friendships, groups, and hidden strengths.

Although the basic blueprint of your life's path remains the same, the planets, the asteroids and the stars continue to move through the heavens dancing to their own cosmic rhythms as they transit travelling through your horoscope houses forming aspects to your natal planets.

For example, if someone was born in 1960, Pluto was in the sign Virgo but Pluto has now moved into the sign Sagittarius and is transiting or sojourning in one of the twelve houses of that person's chart affecting that area of life. Sound complex? Well it is, especially since the solar system continues to evolve as the Earth evolves. Some of the more commonly used astrological and astrology terms are listed in glossary terminology.

The planet Earth has not yet passed the threshold into the Age of Aquarius, mainly because it was freeze framed in a frozen binding in the Age of Aries. That energy finally started to move in late February in 2001, and the Earth began a shortened, abbreviated, and accelerated journey through the Age of Pisces. Next
