How astrology can transform your everyday life!
Share
Astrology is a practice that interprets the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets, stars, and the moon—as having an influence on human affairs and natural events. It’s rooted in the idea that there’s a connection between the cosmos and life on Earth, with patterns in the sky reflecting or affecting personalities, relationships, and even future outcomes.
At its core, astrology uses a symbolic framework. The primary tool is the zodiac, a 360-degree belt of the sky divided into 12 signs (called houses), each roughly 30 degrees wide. The planets in them show how that area plays out for you. Here’s a simple rundown:
-
1st House (Self): You—your body, personality, how you come off to others. It’s your vibe or “first impression.”
-
2nd House (Money): What you own—cash, stuff, self-worth. It’s how you handle resources or value yourself.
-
3rd House (Communication): Talking, thinking, short trips, siblings. It’s your mind in action—writing, chatting, learning.
-
4th House (Home): Roots—family, house, your private base. It’s where you feel safe or come from.
-
5th House (Creativity): Fun, romance, kids, art. It’s where you play, create, or chase what lights you up.
-
6th House (Work & Health): Daily grind—job, routines, wellness. It’s how you serve or take care of yourself.
-
7th House (Relationships): Partnerships—love, business, even enemies. It’s one-on-one bonds.
-
8th House (Transformation): Deep stuff—sex, death, shared money, change. It’s where you merge or face the heavy.
-
9th House (Exploration): Big ideas—travel, philosophy, higher learning. It’s your quest for meaning or adventure.
-
10th House (Career): Public life—job, status, goals. It’s your mark on the world.
-
11th House (Community): Friends, groups, dreams for the future. It’s your crew and your hopes.
-
12th House (Subconscious): Hidden things—secrets, dreams, spirituality. It’s the quiet, mysterious stuff you don’t always see.
For divination—predicting the future or gaining insight—astrologers analyse these charts or current planetary alignments, known as transits. A natal chart, for instance, maps where planets were when you were born. The angles between planets, called aspects, add nuance—like a tense square (90 degrees) suggesting conflict, or a harmonious trine (120 degrees) indicating ease. By interpreting these elements, astrologers claim to reveal your tendencies, challenges, or destiny.
In brief, the sun, moon and planets have the following symbolism...
-
Sun: Your core self. It’s who you are deep down, your main vibe or identity. It’s tied to your ego, energy, and what drives you. Whatever zodiac sign it’s in (your “star sign”) flavours how you shine—like a Leo sun is bold, a Cancer sun is nurturing.
-
Moon: Your emotions and inner world. It’s how you feel, what you need to feel safe, and your gut reactions. It’s your private side, not always obvious to others. A Scorpio moon might feel intense and secretive, while a Libra moon craves peace.
-
Mercury: Your mind and communication. It’s how you think, talk, and learn. A Gemini Mercury might make you quick-witted and chatty, while a Taurus Mercury keeps it slow and practical.
-
Venus: Love and pleasure. It’s how you love, what you find beautiful, and what makes you happy—like art or money. An Aries Venus dives into romance fast, a Capricorn Venus takes it slow and serious.
-
Mars: Action and desire. It’s your drive, anger, and how you go after what you want (including in the bedroom). A Mars in Sagittarius might chase adventure, while a Mars in Virgo plans every step.
-
Jupiter: Luck and growth. It’s where you get lucky or expand—think big ideas, travel, or optimism. A Pisces Jupiter might dream big, a Scorpio Jupiter digs into deep truths.
-
Saturn: Lessons and discipline. It’s the tough teacher—where you face limits or work hard to succeed. A Saturn in Aquarius might struggle with freedom vs. rules, a Saturn in Taurus builds wealth slowly.
-
Uranus: Change and rebellion. It’s your wild, quirky side—where you break rules or surprise people. An Aquarius Uranus sparks innovation, a Cancer Uranus shakes up home life.
-
Neptune: Dreams and mystery. It’s your imagination, spirituality, or where you might get lost in fantasy. A Neptune in Pisces is super dreamy, a Neptune in Virgo might confuse dreams with details.
-
Pluto: Power and transformation. It’s deep change, control, or hidden stuff—like secrets or rebirth. A Pluto in Scorpio (its home) is intense and magnetic, a Pluto in Leo craves big influence.
Each one gets its “meaning” from mythology and old observations—like Mars, the war god, being about fight, or Venus, the love goddess, ruling affection. It’s all about what each one stands for and how they mix together, for instance: Venus hitting your money house might mean a cash boost or a hot date.
