Astrology (western)

Still today many people believe astrology goes only as far as reading the weekly horoscope in a magazine. Having found that those predictions are all far too general people tend to associate astrology with a negative touch or only the star sign (sign of the zodiac) they are, or were born in.

Far from the truth as the sign, we talk about as our star sign happens to be only the sign the sun was in at our time of birth.
Hence its proper name should be used more: sun sign,
i.e. the sign one planet (the sun) was in only.

We talk about a horoscope when talking about the exact position of the planets at the moment and location of our birth. Putting all the planets and signs into their glyphs (symbolic representation) we end up with our horoscope or birth chart.
(Horoscope - from ancient Greek =watch & record time)

All our birth charts are totally unique to us, as our exact time of birth and the place of birth together with the exact location, shows the planets at exact that time and place.

In such a horoscope people tend to be surprised to see, that they will have planets in almost all of the signs of the zodiac.
Hence someone telling people their star sign is Taurus for example, might be surprised to learn, that they have many planets in a totally different sign, therefore showing quite different characteristics in their personality and persona than a typical Taurus.

Astrological charts
:
*the signs - (show how we will direct & use the relevant planetary motivation)

(Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo,

Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces)

*the ascendant -(the "you" the outside world perceives)

*the houses - (show in which area of life the planetary motivation will be manifested) (1st - 12th house)

*the planets - (represent our motivation)

(Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter,

Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto -to name the main ones

*the aspects (these are geometrical angles between planets:
conjunction, square, opposition -to name a few)

Also the Ascendant, which also represents the style
in which we meet life in general, our personality
that we never thought of.

The movements of the planets above

Chinese Astrology (eastern)

2025 is the Year of the Snake,
starting on 29th January, the Chinese New Year!

A Snake year is all about shedding the old and
so 2025 will be all about renewal and regeneration.

Following some details on what Chinese astrology deals with:

*12 animal signs
(rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake,
horse, sheep/goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig)

They represent one year of a 12 yearly cycle, hence you find your individual animal sign,
by looking at the year you were born.

*5 elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water)

*Yin & Yang polarities
(i.e. feminine - receptive; association with water, night, moon
&
masculine - active; association with fire, day, sun)

*the ascendant & *the moon sign

In Chinese astrology there is usually a great emphasis
around the interactions of moon and sun.

The hour of birth brings in other animals' characteristics,
painting an individual, complex picture of ourselves.

• Transits are the actual day-by-day and
  hour-by-hour movements
  of the planets through the zodiac.
• Our natal charts being snapshots of a moment in time (our birth), and the transiting planets
  (current planetary constellations in the sky),
  relate to that moment in time.
  Which is how the transit chart is drawn up.
• Most astrologists will be using transit charts to see how the current planetary constellations influence your birth chart, therefore showing your current situation due to planetary influences.
