Astrology

For most of us when someone mentions Astrology to you, your first thought is perhaps the daily horoscopes you read in the paper 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 hand book 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.

For anyone, and especially those on the spiritual path, your Natal Chart is an imperative guide and wealth of information to help you along your journey. I believe that when you truly know and accept yourself for the person that you are, then there is nothing you cannot achieve in your lifetime. 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. Your Natal Chart can also identify periods in your life when you are concentrating on particular lessons, and you can see how at these times there is always plenty of positive energy to use to learn from, just as there is negative energy there to refuse to learn from.

Through a series of articles I am going to introduce you to the different planets and the energies that surround them and how they affect you and your growth on the earth plane.

The Moon represents our emotional body, our feminine energy, and the connection to your mother.

The Moon

The Moon represents our emotional body, our feminine energy, and the connection to your mother. The energy, or sign of the zodiac, that it sits in shows how you will deal with your feelings and emotions. As human beings we are predominantly made up of water, and we are all aware of the effect that the Moon has on the sea, and so it has the same effect on us. Those of you born on a full moon may find that on every full moon it is difficult for you to sleep and be at peace as you are more charged with energy than usual. When the Moon is waning (getting smaller) our energy levels often drop as we prepare to wind down before the next new Moon, when we can start to build up and utilise that energy once again. It is common knowledge globally that on a Full Moon there is a lot more crime committed, just as on a New Moon there is often more hope in the world. Also, for centuries people have grown and harvested their crops by the cycles of the Moon. This energy is a very ancient and learned one that we can all make use of somewhere in our lives.
