For most of us when someone mentions Astrology to you, your first thought is perhaps the daily horoscopes you read in the papers and the knowledge you have of your own birth sign. What people are not so much aware of is that your Astrology is the blue print of your life, it is the handbook you lost on the way down!
How this Astrology works is through the interpretation of your Natal Chart. Your Natal Chart is a map of the heavens at the time of your birth, therefore no two Charts will be alike as this information is based on the TIME, DATE and PLACE of your birth, and as the planets move in relationship to each other every 4 minutes, it is extremely rare for any two Charts to be the same.
Your Natal Chart is divided up into a sectional system, called a House System. Each of these 12 Houses represent a different facet of your life. The 1st House is the House of Self, the 2nd House is the House of Money, the 3rd House is the House of Communication and Siblings, the 4th House is the House of Home and Family, the 5th House is the House of Creativity, Children, Fun and Romance, the 6th House is the House of Health & Healing and Work & Service, the 7th House is the House of Partnerships, the 8th House is the House of Other People’s Resources, Life, Death, Sex, Taxes and Legacies, the 9th House is the House of Spirit, Overseas Travel and Higher Learning, the 10th House is the House of Career and Public, the 11th House is the House of Hopes, Wishes & Dreams, and Social Activities and the 12th House is the House of Karma, Past Life Energy and Deep Hidden Emotions. Where the planets sit in the Houses shows an Astrologer what you have come here to learn in this lifetime, and how you are going to go about learning these lessons.
Your Natal Chart gives you the insight into what makes you tick and react the way that you do to certain situations and people, and through this insight you can learn to let go of the Self and the ego attachment we have to our emotions.
Our lives are predestined. Everything that happens in your life, good, bad and ugly, you have chosen to happen long before you were born. You have chosen these things so that you can learn from them, and continue on your journey of growth. We do not choose to be unhappy and to suffer time and time again, that is what we do to ourselves on the earth plane when we don’t want to see and accept what we are here to learn. Your Natal Chart is the key to all of this. We are all just souls reincarnating on the earth plane life after life, with the main purpose of this being to learn and to grow. The most important lessons we are all here to learn in the big picture are unconditional love and to speak our truth. However, these lessons are very difficult for most of us to learn, therefore every lifetime we are taking another step along this journey to learn these lessons, and every lifetime we bring with us certain skills, attitudes and emotions to help us to learn what we have chosen too in that incarnation.
