Truths of the Astrological Chart

An astrological chart can be a wonderful tool, a marvelous means of gaining insight into who we are as a person. Reading the astrological chart and having it interpreted correctly is the only way to be able to use this tool effectively.

Many people think that their “sun sign” is the only important sign to know and little do they realize that it is a mere piece of the astrological pie, so to speak. We are complex beings, made up of all the elements and it is important to combine all of them in order to truly function at the level of which we are capable. The world around us needs a combination of things to ensure the continuation of life and we are exactly the same. If you over water a plant you can kill it. Too much or too little fresh air and sunlight may or may not damage the plant. We are just another expression of nature, except that we have arms and legs.

Here’s an example for you. A young lady has her sun in Taurus, her Moon and her Venus in Aries and her ascendant (or rising sign) in Libra. We’ll go one further and say that all these planets fall into her seventh house. 

Can you imagine what this young lady’s Achilles heel might be? What her downfall and her soft spot are?

The answer is love. The reason being that her Moon (who she is on the inside, her deepest darkest self) is in Aries, a fiery passionate sign prone to impulse. Her Venus is also in Aries and her rising sign Libra (the ultimate lover here). They are all in or near enough to the seventh house which rules love and partners, to just about control every aspect of her being until she has been properly ‘broken in’ just like you would a wild horse. She has great, harsh lessons to learn in her life about love. She will, no doubt while she is younger and more resilient (at least in her mind) fall ‘in love’ fifty times a day and for each moment give it her absolute all. With each ‘heartbreak’ she will feel it intensely, each loss keened after as though each one were the last of the great hopes for her to know and keep true love. It is what drives her until she has no where left to go and all the roads have been exhausted.
