Most people know about astrology. At least, they know their Zodiac sign and read their daily horoscopes, and they don’t consider it as an accurate means to foretell future and discover important facts about someone, but rather as a fun activity to spend some time.
The reality is that astrology is a very accurate means to find out some facts about the future and about people, and even our ancestors were acquainted with that fact.
They studied the stars and the planets and gathered knowledge about their influence on people and the world in general. They called their study of the stars and planets astrology.
The origins of astrology go way back in time. First written records date back to the times of the ancient Babylonians. Astrology has many techniques for analyzing the planets and their influence.
Basic analysis of individual natal charts consists of analyzing the planets in signs and houses, as well as determining the aspects between the planets. These techniques are sufficient to give a lot of details about someone or some event.
The planet’s positions in natal charts are very important because they show the areas where most of activity will unfold and where the attention will be focused.
Aspects are equally important, because they show the traits of someone’s personality and the events and destiny they are likely to encounter. Events usually happen when the planets making the aspects are triggered by progressions and/or transits.
The aspects are divided in two major groups: major and minor aspects. Of course, the most significant are the major aspects, and the most important are the ones that are exact. Major aspects are sextiles, trines, oppositions, conjunction, and square.
The aspects can have beneficial and malefic nature. Those with beneficial nature bring peace and opportunities for progress while malefic planets tend to create conflicts and obstacles. They often prevent the person from achieving what they want.
The trine is a beneficial major aspect. It forms when the planets are at 120 degrees distance from each other. This aspect is considered as the luckiest by many astrologers. It creates fortunate opportunities and helps people achieve their desires.
They don’t need much effort to get where they want with the support of this aspect. The trine allows the person to get the best from the planet.
Synastry
Astrology is not only used to analyze individuals and predict events, it can be used as a means to analyze relationships between people and their lasting potential. Astrology technique used to analyze relationships is called synastry.
Synastry is based on the idea that people interacting with one another bring their planets into contact as well.
That is why synastry analyzes the birth charts of two people and compares their planets to determine the aspects between them and their placement in the other person’s birth chart.
The houses where the partner’s planets fall into their partner’s natal chart show which areas will be influenced by this person. The aspects show the compatibility between people and the possible issues they could experience during their interaction.
The most significant are the exact aspects between their planets because they give the overall theme of the relationship.
If most of the aspects are harmonious, this is a good sign, because it indicates good compatibility between the partners.
Their characters are compatible and they usually share many interests. They are interested in one another and are willing to put in efforts to maintain the relationship.
These two don’t allow issues to pile up between them and they try to resolve them quickly can because of their mutual desire to maintain their relationship stable and lasting. They are tolerant to each other’s differences and are grateful for the relationship they have.
If the majority of the aspects are challenging, the situation is different. This usually indicates lack of compatibility between the two partners.
They also lack interest to maintain their relationship stable. They can be critical and lack tolerance for each other’s differences. With challenging aspects conflicts are frequent.
These two usually don’t have a lasting relationship, and if the relationship happens to be lasting it is usually at a cost for both partners.
Sometimes, synastry analysis shows lack of significant aspects between the two natal charts.
This is usually an indication of lack of interests between the partners; this is often a situation where the relationship doesn’t start at all, or it ends quickly because of lack of basic interests and compatibility between the two people.
