Some of the most notable scholars and scientists of the past were astrologers. Figures such as Claudius Ptolemy and Johannes Kepler, in the first place.
Throughout the history of civilization, there have been different astrological paths, in different parts of the world. There still are. We talk in terms of Western astrology, which originates from old Persia. It came to the West as spread by Greeks and Romans.
Although many would object to calling astrology a ‘science’, this ancient discipline has all elements as any official scientific approach. Astrology is not only for fun or, at least, it is not meant to be. Astrological interpretations are widely (miss) used, so it is quite common that people suspect its truthfulness.
Moreover, astrology really deals with things we cannot explain to the detail.
While astronomy studies planets and stars and else in the cosmos and contributes greatly to our knowledge about the vast place we call universe and live in, it does not answer to any question regarding an individual human being’s life.
Official sciences tell us how planetary movement and all other things that take place in the universe affect humankind as a whole, our own planet Erath, the living life on it and so on.
However, none of these tells how planetary movement affects you, as a person. Astrology claims it does and to a great point. Astrology deals with matters that are more abstract; it could tell us how planetary movement affect us as a whole and as individual but on a deeper, higher and definitely more personal level. Astrology claims that what happens in heavens above affects our destinies.
That said, we come to natal astrology, which what most of you are interested in. people are usually interested to know what could happen to them in the future or seek for explanations of strange situations in their life or they want to know if there is any ‘higher’ reason for something not functioning and vice versa.
Although astrology cannot give you exact answers, it would offer you precious guidelines.
Natal astrology is based on the analysis of birth charts. You have probably heard about those. Birth or natal charts are simply a graphic image of the sky, taken at one particular moment in time. This moment is your birthday.
Just to mention that astrological analyses could be applied not only to individual people’s lives, but also to whole countries, nations, even globally.
Personal Planets – The Luminaries
What do planets have to do with natal astrology, the bright ones, in particular? Learning about astrological planets is the first step into understanding how astrology works. Planets are a very important element of a natal chart. Their positions are what shape up your astrological destiny.
In Western, modern astrology, there are ten planets, divided into three groups.
In old astrology, in ancient times, planets further from Saturn were not known, because they could not be seen with the naked eye. That is why Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are called ‘modern planets’. There are five ‘personal planets’, two ‘social planets’ and three ‘transpersonal planets’.
We will not go into detail with all of them, because today we are interested in two of the first group.
These are the Luminaries, the bright ones and they are, of course, the Sun and the Moon. Why are these called planets, you might ask, when they are not ones? Well, in astrology, all of them are classified as planets. Luminaries are the first and the most important two of the ‘personal planets’ group.
They determine your most intimate and personal traits, shape up your character, your temperament and else.
While the Sun represents your goals, ambition, your active energy, your ruling zodiac sign, the Moon stands for everything that is under the surface, your emotions, sub-consciousness, your relations with the world. It is as if the Sun is the fulfillment and the Moon is the road to it.
Let us just remind you that the place the Sun occupies is the place of the zodiac sign you were born under.
These two planets are very important to search out for in a natal chart. Their position greatly determines who you are as a person and how you relate to other people and the world you live in.
These two planets give you your characteristic traits, temperament, shape up your attitude and else.
In a way, they describe your nature and it is very good to know about that.
Moon and Horoscope
Now we will speak more about the Moon, this mysterious bright heavenly object we see each night. Moon has always been associated with mystery, femininity, emotions, calmness and serenity, but also with changeability, turbulence and phlegmatic character.
What does it represent in a horoscope? How does the Moon affect your natal chart?
It greatly depends on where it stands in your chart, but here are some of the basic associations about the Moon, as an astrological planet. Moon is the second most important personal planet. It is primarily associated with feminine energy, motherhood, fertility, home, family and emotions. It rules the sign of Cancer.
Moon affects the way we relate to other people in our life, it represents our communication with people in terms of making connections. Moon in a natal chart represents our inner source of information, our deep, inner voice that should never be silenced and neglected.
The Moon keeps focus on our emotional being; it is an astrological embodiment of our emotional self.
The Moon is associated with our sub-consciousness; it is our guiding star. The whispering of the Moon should be taken seriously; without listening to it, there is no emotional growth and development.
Without Moon’s influence, there is no true joy, there is no laughter, there are no tears, of joy or of sadness; there is just an empty shell, which is terrifying. To feel means to be alive.
The position that Moon stands in your natal chart determines the way you handle your emotions and your reason, for a great part. Although many would say that these two do not go together, they are very wrong.
Of course, they do, but it is a difficult task to balance them. Depending on Moon’s position, the task is either easier or harder.
