What is Astrology?

Astrology is a study of the planetary patterns and the correlation they have to events and people on earth -- as above, so below. It comes from the Greek word “astro” meaning star, and “logos” meaning word or speech. Literally translated, it means “star talk”. Astrology also gives meaning to each of the planets, whether that is mythological, psychological, physical, medical or spiritual.

Astrology is an ancient language; an art and a science that can be used as a planetary guide for living on earth. It is made up of the ten planets, including the sun and moon, and the twelve zodiac signs. This is known as an Astrological Chart.

So how do all the planets and signs work together to come up with an Astrological Chart? Well, we all know which zodiac sign the Sun was in on the day we were born, such as Taurus, Capricorn, Aries, etc. Using the longitude and latitude of the location you were born, the day you were born on and the time tells us what zodiac sign the rest of the planets were in. This is like a “celestial snapshot” of the planetary pattern on the date, time and location of your birth. This “celestial” snapshot can tell us about your personality, what challenges and life lessons you may have, your communication style, your relationships with others, your finances, health…the list goes on. More importantly, it can also tell us about the evolution of your soul, which include desires and fears, strengths and weaknesses, what holds you back, what motivates you and what your potentials can be.

Astrology can give us a deeper understanding of knowing why we are all unique and individual, yet at the same time why we are very similar. It gives us the freedom to know that we do have choices to better ourselves and to become the person we were meant to be.

The journey of each soul living on earth is to learn and experience all the opportunities life has to offer. Sometimes, however, we may get stuck, not knowing which way to go, life gets challenging and we get diverted back to what feels most comfortable thereby limiting the growth and evolution of our soul. When using the planets as a guide and the methodologies of evolutionary astrology, it can give us clues as to where your soul has come from, what you are here to learn, the challenges you may face and what your ultimate desires are.
