Astrology- Beyond your sun sign

I think it's safe to say that the majority of us know our astrological sun sign. At least the name of it!

I'll admit it, whenever I would start to date someone I would look up our sign compatibility. It seemed there was some truth to astrology but I didn't read horoscopes or any collect books. I can remember having a conversation with a friend about our "signs" and she asked me what my moon sign was. Say what? That was a little too out there for me. She offered to find out for me but I politely declined and that was that. I wasn't being rude! I just didn't care and it seemed wayyyyyyyy too hippie nonsense for me.

The reality was that I thought I knew what astrology was but I actually had no idea. I was misinformed and uneducated. I'll admit it. I thought astrology was sun signs and horoscopes. I know many people who either don't relate at all to their sun sign, or think the descriptions of the signs are too vague to back up any real truth. Not only that, but many people who relate to their sign also relate to the characteristics of the other signs. Kind of takes the magic out of it, no?

There are so many important factors in astrology. I kid you not I had a spiritual experience when I had my natal chart read. The chart is a picture of the sky at the exact moment you were born. It's like a blueprint of your soul. It's specific to you and you only unlike identifying with a single sun sign. It gave me an incredible amount of insight on how I tick, inside and out. I've been studying it for a year now so I'll have to try and keep this as simple and as brief as I can without getting too ahead of myself!

-------The Primary Triad------

The three most important parts- the first thing I look at when reading someones natal chart, is the "triad"
Simply put the Triad consists of and represents these 3 things:


The Sun

  • The outer personality
  • Conscious mind
  • Will to live
  • Creative life force
  • Basic summary of self

  • The Moon

  • your inner self
  • how you see yourself
  • emotional self
  • instinctual self
  • gives insight to the way you love and feel
  • governs your moods
  • It is the unguarded you, the you only those closest to you know. It is your subconscious.

  • The Rising

  • outward expression of personality
  • the way in which a person interacts with the external world
  • public persona or mask
  • how an individual is likely to be perceived by others
  • can influence your physical characteristics and mannerisms

    Ever notice how when you first meet someone you seem to act a little different before you feel comfortable to let part of your guard down? That is your rising sign. It is often called the mask we wear. Don't confuse this with being fake. This is a very real part of everyone's personality.

    Once we get to know someone and we are feeling comfortable enough to be ourselves, the sun sign comes out. Most of our closer friends see this part of ourselves.

    What about the way we see ourselves? The parts that sometimes cant be explained to other people. How we feel inside. That is our moon sign. The people who are the closest to us, maybe a partner or best friend, get to see this part of us.

    Sort:  

    It's symbolism to describe aspects of self-knowledge, consciousness and yes even personality. Tarot also has this symbolic reference to ourselves.

    It's not 100% accurate, it's a personality model of approximating certain traits the can be applied in various degrees of accuracy to different people. I find many aspects of myself in other signs, not just my own. It's not truly accurate to describe yourself. It's symbolism to describe parts of ourselves. To learn about the general qualities and characteristics of consciousnesses, to know-thyself of the human condition in a general ways.

    Take care. Peace.

    I really couldn't agree more. Astrology seems to be more of a description of the story we are living out in the body. The primary triad is the story of "ali" in the simplest interpretation of a natal chart. It is just an expression of a moment of time. Inside I understand that what I am really is not something to be described in a natal chart. However, when looking at an entire chart, each person has all of the 12 signs and all of the planets. We have aspects of every single sign within all of us. It shows where the archetype or energy of each sign is playing out in each area of ones life. For example, I have Leo in the area of my chart that symbolizes home roots and family. It's really quite interesting. I would be glad to read your chart for you. Maybe it would surprise you, or maybe not. Worth a shot!

    Much love, thanks for the reply!
