The closer a person knows himself, the wiser he is. The bigger the gap between his imagination and his reality, the crazier he becomes.
? Rodney Colin
A person's birthday picture is a rich and full of life statement, full of insights, guidance and warnings. It describes not a static fate, but a flowing life form, full of choices and risks.
Astrology brings us not answers, but questions. We can give our own answers. Astrology only provides maps, and how to sail in this terrain is our own business.
Growth is the key. This is the difference between true astrology and fortune telling.
Being a man is to be changeable, changeable and uncertain. Being a man is growing up.
The possibilities represented by each astrological symbol are as rich as the spectrum; Every birthday picture contains tens of thousands of personality possibilities.
Astrology is just a road to self-understanding. Like all other roads, it has its own advantages and disadvantages.
When astrology is too closely combined with any philosophy or religion, it will be damaged. In the astrological system, nothing is really important except one's self-awareness.
Growth, change and evolution are the core of astrology. Leave fatalism and rigidity to fortune tellers.
Constellations and houses work together. Understand them first, and then replenish the planets.
Each constellation is a growth model, and it is a growth that one highly agrees with? Mode.
Palace is more specific, and most of it is a stage where external behavior can be seen. One of them represents our social and cultural environment. Let's think about our role in it; Scientists call it another area of intimacy; There is also a representative of our material or economic situation.
Some houses are not so active, but they always symbolize something other than personality, which we must be aware of. For example, the existence of a subconscious.
Planets are the third dimension: they represent the real structure of the mind. Each planet represents a psychological function: thinking, emotion, self-image and the impulse to get close to people.
To understand how a planet works, we must look at it in the context of constellations and houses. An enterprising planet may fall in a constellation representing the process of developing courage, which is a powerful combination and will create an obviously positive and decisive personality. But how and where to look at this personality depends on the palace. The power of constellations and planets is released there.
In short, these three symbol systems answer the questions of "what", "how", "why" and "where". Always look at the planet first, it stands for "what", it lets us know which aspect of the mind we are considering. Then let the constellation decide what the planet wants and how to achieve these goals-that is, "how" and "why". Finally, looking at the house, it answered the question of "where" and told us exactly which area of life the battle took place.
What aspect (what) of the mind does the planet mean, what needs and strategies the constellation means are driving the planet (why and how), and the house tells which areas (where) the planetary constellation combination will be displayed in life.
A *** 10 planet, 12 constellation and 12 palace add up to 34 words.
The astrolabe is a map. It shows the positions of the sun, moon and planets in the sky when a person is born.
Each constellation is 30 degrees wide.
Sometimes, we will see a house covering the whole 30 degrees of a constellation, that is to say, the constellation is swallowed up by the house-it doesn't cross the heads on both sides at all, which is called interception. ?
The orbit of the planet is called the ecliptic, which is divided into 12 segments, namely 12 constellation. Astrology and astronomy have the same name. But there is no real one-to-one correspondence between them.
Most planets move irregularly. Mercury stays in each constellation for about a month. During this time, the moon will pass through all 12 constellations; The distant Pluto has hardly moved, and may even move in the opposite direction.
Two kinds of physical movements create astrological symbols, and their trajectories are circular. The first is that the earth revolves around its own axis, and the second is that the earth revolves around the sun. The first circle represents the house and the second circle represents the constellation.
If we get up at dawn every day to study the sky, we will soon notice a pattern. Every morning, the sun rises into a pile of stars, so after a few weeks, we will see that although the sun rises in the east every day, the stars touched by its first ray of sunshine are gradually changing. One morning it rose to one constellation, a month later it rose to another constellation, and then rose to another constellation, and so on, until it returned to its original constellation a year later.
The "trajectory" of the sun relative to the earth has been described since ancient times, and we now call it the ecliptic. But it has an older name: the zodiac.
The core of constellation symbols is not the stars, but the seasons. By changing the length of the night, we determined four turning points to divide the circle. So infinity is divided into four finite stages, and each stage has its obvious characteristics. We call these four stages elements:
Fire, earth, wind and water
1, every element comes from the balance point of light and darkness. This time there is more kinetic energy and more light. Astronomy calls it vernal equinox. In astrology, the vernal equinox symbolizes the birth of the fire element. It stands for action. Just like spring, it is outward energy, rushing to the universe and crushing everything that stands in its way. Because it has its own goals, it has uncompromising invincible-this is fire. Later we will see how it is reflected in Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
Traditionally, the earth element rises from the core of the night after the fire element, corresponding to the winter solstice, which is the darkest day of the year. In winter, what we see in nature is a harsh and persistent spirit. Earth element symbolizes stability and continuity. Earth element is the maintainer and giver of form, which is reflected in the continuous efforts of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn to build, improve and shape.
3. The soil element is followed by the wind element. The wind element appears at another balance point between light and shade. At this point, the darkness is rising, ready to devour the day. We call it the autumnal equinox, which marks the beginning of autumn. Because winter is coming, autumn has a premonition of disaster. All living things feel the arrival of darkness and death, and this fear increases their vigilance. In the wind element, we find the functions of perception, rationality and connection-mind, which has endless curiosity, retreat and very clear perception characteristics. The wind element is more aware of the unknown above it than any other element. The spirit of exploration drives Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
Water is the last element. It appears in the strongest light, the first day of summer, which astronomers call the summer solstice. In summer, the land is very suitable for nourishing life, and naturally it is like a protective uterus. Even those species with weak vitality will get some leisure time. Water is an element of nourishment and protection. Outside, it shows a kind of warmth. Including imagination and intuition. Based on its insight and sensitivity, the main function of water element is feeling. Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are water elements.
Everyone embodies all these four elements. They interact with each other in our bodies to create our personality.
When a person is mainly influenced by the fire element constellation, he must develop his will. If the characteristics of fire element are translated into psychological language, it is courage and willpower.
A person who is mainly influenced by earth elements comes here to learn patience and self-discipline;
People affected by wind elements need to develop alert and clear cognition;
A person who is mainly affected by water needs to learn to maintain unconditional love in an extremely fragile state.
Mode: basic mode (representing birth, the beginning of a cycle, representing creation)-fixed mode-change mode (the end of life cycle, representing change and adjustment).
This pattern forces the four elements into a fluctuating and tilted time orbit. This combination gave birth to 12 children. These children are the lifeline of applied astrology. They are constellations.
Constellation is the channel of expression, the path of returning to the origin and the basic symbol of astrology. They provide an effective description of personality and form a practical catalogue of human personality types. But they are also methods of evolution and ways of growth.
No one is a pure Aries, which is ridiculous. Constellation is a psychological mechanism that we all have, and each of us embodies all 12 constellations. The only difference between us is that the intensity of each constellation is different. We see once again that the basic symbol of astrology is a circle. Each astrolabe is a circle. To some extent, each constellation has an effect on each of us.
Each constellation has always existed in everyone's mind, waiting for the corresponding trigger.
The real treasure of astrology-the ability of various symbols to stimulate the mind through their contradictory personalities. 、
Each constellation represents only one type and some common themes. Later, we will see how constellations are intertwined with houses and planets to describe a person with unparalleled accuracy.
These effects are very real. Planets are wires that somehow connect us with forces we don't know yet. Each planet is like a filter, transmitting light and coloring it. Mars will bring one color and mercury will bring another color. When a planet passes through a constellation, it transmits something to the earth, but in the process, the nature of those things has undergone some deformation, and the planet has influenced it and changed it. So no planet can make us face a constellation directly, and the medium means distortion, just like we want to see the constellation through colored glass.
The planet will never stop, and the light is constantly changing, constantly changing the background of the constellation and transmitting different colors of light.
What reaches the earth is a rainbow made up of lights from different planets. It changes all the time. In some way, the ever-changing and ever-changing rainbow was engraved on us from the moment we were born. It is unique and ever-changing. It is our identity and our purpose, waiting for us to reveal it all our lives.
Only the sun and the moon will not go retrograde.
Astronomy is to understand the universe with the mind, while astrology is to understand the mind with the universe.
The sun? It is the center of human personality. There is a master and an organization. These are the tasks of the sun. The ego is the focus of the soul, just as the sun is the focus of the solar system.
We are faced with the same blank sheet of paper: an unknown between life and death. One can fill it with work and career; The other will travel around the world; The third became an addict; The fourth entered the temple. Why is this happening? Everyone's life reflects his unconscious assumptions about life, which are always natural and obvious to him. Everyone's life reflects his self-structure and the sun.
We are trapped in our own personality, isolated from the other choices that life presents us. But the sun itself is the part that allows us to act. Without it, we would be lost.
