What can stars tell you about your destiny? According to astrologers, it could tell you anything and everything, depending on how good skilled you are in interpreting the sky.

Astrologers have a very difficult task in interpreting complex images of the skies, astrological charts. Astrological analyses are much more than those few lines you can read about zodiac signs.

Those short horoscopes are exactly what they are; they are generalized, summarized astrological interpretations related to the current period, such as a day, a week, a month or maybe a year and the possibilities stars have in store for all representatives of each zodiac sign. People look at it, read it and tell they are wrong. Well, the truth is, they are just too generalized.

However, most of us are personally interested in what stars can tell about our own life. This is what natal astrology deals with. Natal astrology tries to figure out in what relations are elements in one person’s birth chart.

Now, the birth chart is what matters the most. It is the most individual basis for one’s horoscope.

Natal chart is a scheme that represents the sky at one moment in time and that is the person’s in question birthday. This scheme features all the planets, in way they were positioned at that exact moment, distributed over the Zodiac circle and twelve astrological houses.

There are, of course, all the signs and all of these elements together create unique birth chart.

An astrologer uses this chart to create a horoscope. Yes, he or she creates it, like a piece of art. Each horoscope is unique creation, a masterpiece of several artists united. The universe itself, you as a person and your astrologer all contribute to your horoscope. This does not mean your horoscope as simply made up.

Astrology is a complex discipline and it features all essentials as any other science, although in modern world, we see it as an alternative approach, a pseudo science. Astrologers have to possess great knowledge related to planets, their movement, zodiac signs, the history of astrology itself and its practice.

There is a serious methodology and well-established principles.

What does your horoscope actually reveal? It tells about your life, as seen by an astrologer in your birth chart.

Various elements correlate amongst themselves and constitute the chart. They actually represent your potentials, describe what kind of person you are and tell about possibilities in your life. This means there are is no certain information, but guidelines.

Personal Planets – The Luminaries

Planets are essential part of a natal chart. Planets determine your horoscope, because each one of them affects us, according to astrology. Their energies and vibrations intertwined create a personality, determine the way one is going to perceive the world and to connect with it. They determine they way in which we think, even our sub-consciousness.

There are three main groups of astrological planets. Before we move onto them, let us only remind you that we speak about planets of the Solar system, all known today. In ancient days of astrology, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto were not on this list, because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

The Sun and the Moon, which what we focus on here, are astrologically considered planets.

The Sun and the Moon are the Luminaries, the bright planets. They are two of so-called ‘personal planets’, which also count Mercury, Venus and Mars. Personal planets are those that define us as personalities of certain traits, character and temperament. We could say that the Luminaries are the core of it. They are the first ones to look upon in a natal chart.

Symbol of the Sun in a natal chart is a circle with a pint in its middle and it is considered the most important of all planets in one’s chart. The Sun represents overall life force in the center of one’s own personal universe.

It reveals to us our inborn qualities and flaws, making them real and visible. It constitutes ourselves as personalities of certain qualities.

The Moon is its unavoidable companion, almost like a different side of the Sun’s disk. It represents everything that is not visible on the outside, our deepest emotions, our sub-conscious mind, our sense of connection with the world and the people.

In a way, the Moon represents our path to fulfill what the Sun represents.

Moon and Horoscope

Now that we know something more about astrological planets in general and the Luminaries in particular, let us turn to the second of the latter mentioned. It is the Moon, the mysterious shiny heavenly body of the night.

The Moon is incredibly important to look upon in a birth chart, because it defines our inner voice, our emotional self.

Without emotions, a man is like an empty bottle. It may be a beautifully carved one, made of precious materials, the one everyone admires because of how it looks, but hollow, empty, without any tasty elixir inside. This elixir is the Moon.

The Moon fills in our soul with the force of emotions. The Moon in a birth chart represents the way we feel the world.

The analysis of the Moon’s position in one’s horoscope is extremely important because it reveals our predispositions to how we are going to react in different situations in our life and especially to people around.

The Moon is also associated with femininity, fertility and motherhood. In a man’s horoscope, it could represent an influential feminine figure.

The Moon represents our deepest intuition; it is like a whispering voice that guides us. You should never try to suppress it and shot it down. The true art of life is to find the balance between your emotions and your reason.

For example, people who have matching Sun and Moon in their charts, are particularly well balanced personalities.

Without Moon’s magical touch there is no inner, emotional self-development. One should be curious about his or hers Moon’s energy and use it properly. The Moon brings both sadness and joy to our heart and makes us feel alive. The Moon gives as emotional depth, the ability to dive deep into all the layers of our emotional being.

It sparks our imagination, our intuition and nurtures our senses. No wonder people with distinctively strong Moon’s influence are artistic and poetic.
