Astrological Signs

The basics of astrology start with the 12 signs of the zodiac:

1. Aries- March 21st- April 19th
2. Taurus- April 20th- May 20th
3. Gemini- May 21st- June 20th 
4. Cancer-June 21st- July 22nd
5. Leo- July 23rd-August 22nd
6. Virgo- August 23rd- September 22nd
7. Libra- September 23rd- October 22nd
8. Scorpio- October 23rd- November 21st
9. Sagittarius- November 22nd- December 21st
10. Capricorn- December 22nd- January 19th
11. Aquarius- January 20th- February 18th
12. Pisces- February 19th- March 20th

There are good and bad traits about each sign and if you were born on a cut off day then you have the traits of both signs that surround you (example: March 21st babies are Aries but also have Pisces traits). This cut off date is called the "cusp".

Astrology

 Astrology

Astrology is the study of how the stars in the sky move and how the movement affects events and emotions in humans' lives. It is quite different than Astronomy because it has more of a spiritual, new age aspect to it, where as Astronomy is completely science and fact on the stars and planets and their movements and appearance. For a long time in history the two fields were the same but with high-tech telescopes and so much "scientific" thinking, Astrology has become more of a superstition to some. However many still look up their daily horoscope in the newspaper whether they believe it's true or not and even more people know their astrological sign. 

Whether fact or just for fun, I've always had an interest in it as soon as i learned a small amount. The idea of trying to predict the future, or at least being ready and less surprised always appealed to me. It's like the mysteries of the world can be peeled away, leaving humanity better informed, and not just groping around in the dark. And, if nothing else, Astrology is a great way to understand yourself and others psychologically.

In this blog, I would like to explain the building blocks of astrology and setting up your own natal chart to unlock secrets about your personality that you may have never realized, though they've always been there. Using your natal chart, you can find a good career path for your personality, make better friendships and relationships, and even avoid potential money issues. It's all written in the stars.
