Astrology is often dismissed as mere superstition or entertainment, but for many, it serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery and understanding. In this blog post, we explore how astrology can help us connect with ourselves on a deeper level through the insights it provides into our behaviors, potentialities, and life cycles.
Understanding Astrology
In terms of astrology, what I like to use astrology for is a way to understand myself better. Some part of it is a lot of validation for how I have felt about myself. If you think about the cyclical nature of life and what we know about the solar system and how the sun rises and sets every day, there’s a cycle to everything; different lengths of cycles. Astrology helps you keep up with those cycles.
Understanding Planetary Cycles
The idea is that each of the planets has a certain energy signature. We see this even in our own science—every element has a different vibration, a different resonance, and so do each of the planets. Over the millennia, people have observed the planets and what goes on when the planets are in certain positions. They have ascribed certain attributes to each of the planets and what the attributes are when they interact in certain ways and when they’re in certain positions.
Energy Signatures and Birth
When a person is born and the planets are in certain positions, it is believed that each individual is imprinted with this energy signature. This imprint gives a person certain gifts and talents—potentialities. It’s a sort of promise of what could happen and is what sets a person up for how their life may unfold. While it is just a moment in time, it is ingrained in your energy signature.
Timing and Opportunities
As the planets continue their cycles, you experience different opportunities. When we look at how the planets travel through space at any moment in time, they give us an understanding of the nature of space and the quality of a moment. This insight helps people recognize the best times to take actions or avoid them.
Intuition and Astrology
Often, people who are in touch with themselves don’t need astrology to understand the best times to act. They can feel when something is right. On a more speculative note, it seems that those in positions of power create events around specific moments in time, knowing that the energies are more favorable during those times.
Astrology in Practice
It’s somewhat like figuring out the best time to plant a seed. In a temperate climate, you wouldn’t plant in winter but in spring. This is the essential idea of astrology—understanding the best moments to take certain actions in life.
In conclusion, astrology offers a unique perspective on our lives, providing insights that can help us make more informed decisions and understand our own potentials. Whether you deeply believe in its principles or are just curious, astrology remains a fascinating tool for self-exploration and understanding.
