What is a Birth Chart in Astrology?

What is a Birth Chart in Astrology?

At the moment you are born, a frame or portrait of the skies and heaven are reflected in a birth or natal chart. The Sun, Moon and all the planets are documented where their positions are in the skies around Earth, at the moment of your birth. A birth chart reflects the exact angles and certain relations between the Planets and Earth at the time and place of your birth. A birth chart is like an Astrological blue print.

What is an Astrological blue print you ask?? Astrology well… it is the study of that which is beyond the physical. Astrology falls into the category of metaphysics, but the principles of it are, the study of Planets and their connection in relation to energy and its influence on us as humans. Astrology on individuals can be determined my a birth chart and the positions of planets when you are born and this corresponds to a basic archetype of an individual behavior, patterns, character and life.

Life is energy and Astrological birth charts can aid us by, presenting a combination of energies that affect individuals flow, function, development, and possibly a further understanding of one’s life and its cycles, this and along with outlining specific traits, strengths and weaknesses. This is all subjective to the individuals interpretation of the data and how people perceive whats in front of them, as no two people are the same.

To truly understand Astrology and how it relates to yourself and others you must understand the basics and what they represent. This includes the Zodiac signs, The Moon, the Sun, The 12 houses of the Horoscope and how planets represent a different area of our consciousness and subconsciousness.

The Moon is in Gemini and opposes Mercury in Sagittarius Trines Mars in Aquarius.

Mercury goes in Sagittarius and sextiles Mars in Aquarius.

The Moon goes into Gemini and opposes Mercury in Sagittarius & Trines Mars in Aquarius. This is a personal day,  Who am i? where am i going? what can i personal do and how can i help  to make things better, along with the world around me. Everything that is going happen today is very positive! This energy has forced people to look at themselves .. What am i responsible for? what are my beliefs? what do i care about and what kind of life am i going to create for myself. Today is a wonderful day to ask your self and question yourself where are your biggest talents and how can you implement those to help other people and yourself for the good! Today things will open up and you will get a lot of answers you have been seeking.

Today is going to  feel very active on an emotional level, as a cancerian I have already felt a serious of ups and downs ( it does not help that my star sign is ruled by the Moon either)  But when the Full  Moon is in restless Gemini its illuminates down Gemini qualities. The day  moves quickly, and we will gather information in all circumstances. Gemini Full Moons stimulating our desire to know more about the world around. It’s a very mental, logical energy, we are also curious about the people in and around us. Gemini’s ruler is Mercury – the thinking, communication planet so our communications may be quick and to the point, as we are mentally alert, energetic and enthusiastic. We can feel very  alert and aware, and idea can turn quickly  into workable projects.

Mercury goes in Sagittarius and sextiles Mars in Aquarius. This aspect helps aligns the driven warrior spirit within us with the our mind and our will. This is great for getting clear on what you really want and having the courage to speak up and take positive directions to achieve it. We will feel direct, decisive and honest. Just try to channel this fiery energy for the good and not come across arrogant and pushy no one like to deal with people who are over-confident, right and that make you feel your opinion is invalid.

Have a great day

Full Moon in Scorpio 2016

Full Moon in Scorpio 2016

I can promise you, this moon will be a big one. ..

This month we will experience a powerful Full Moon in Scorpio on April 22, 2016. This supercharged Full Moon will amplify our desires. Scorpio is a passionate sign, in everything it touches, self, relationships, work and play and this energy sets the stage for meaningful personal transformation this Full Moon.

Scorpio’s are intense and feel things deeply. So prepare for a Full Moon of extremes. Full Moons often leave us supercharged, some of us have intense dreams, some of us can’t sleep at all, some may have extra energy or become flat, and if you are anything like me you become super sensitive in more ways than one…Even if you don’t follow astrology one can’t deny that energy is charged up and you at one point in your life you have felt different when a Full Moon approaches.

The passionate, dramatic intense waters of Scorpio seem to be in direct opposition to our practical drive to survive this Full Moon and this can cause tension between our inner and outer worlds, causing some of us to reach a breaking point. Have you felt the pull and push of late?

Full Moons are like axis that balance’s the energy between the Moon and the Sun, the balance of the yin and the yang, our job during this period is find a balance whilst everything is at it’s fullest extreme. Trying to juggle these cosmically opposed forces and find a balance of our receptive and the expressive self.

The Sun is in Taurus during this Moon phase and will act as an anchor this week to help hold us to our current path without getting to lost in the paradigms of Venus romantic influence who is dancing alongside wild Uranus. These comic influences will strike a chord in our personal desires as our personal relationships become an experimental playing field as this Scorpion Full Moon bring up desires of strong intense desires, emotional and sexual running deep in our conscious.

The Moon is where our feelings live and when the Moon is full, feelings and energy can be at their peak. Be cautious of emotional discontentment, as this is a time where past feelings can stir and rise up, so fight the urges to be moody, snappy, suspicious and secretive. By giving into these negative emotions can block your very heightened creative energy, so just stop.. breath.. and don’t feed the negative emotions any more fuel!! Happy, powerful creative thinking is what needs to be practiced during this Full Moon.

This Moon will propel us forward in delving into the deep mysteries of our hearts and will also allow us to follow our heart with decisive action. This Full Moon the Universe is waking us up to our deepest, highest desires, it will also give us a nudge and the potential to achieve our desires and the courage to go after them. Scorpio’s don’t just settle, they go big or not at all, so this Moon is challenging each and every one of us to Go Big.

Full Moons are a time that bring closure to matters, big and small. During this moon, it is time to stop talking and start doing, we need to rely on our actions to say what needs to be said. The Full moon in Scorpio’s energy will shine a light onto anything hidden, on parts of us that we choose to lock away and ignore the most, parts of our self we never act on or heal, sometimes so much so that it’s time to stop the doubting self – talk and start the doing, start healing.

Death and rebirth is the theme of the week (Not in a physical sense). We cannot receive the new in our life until we purge the old, old pattern’s and emotions that no longer serve you along with releasing old energy, send it all to the light for transmutation.  It is good for focusing and doing psychic work because of the deep emotions and desires Scorpio brings.

There is great energy this month to complete things that may not of received your full attention last month. Maybe you felt to scattered or the energy did not feel right at the time?! the good news is.. you will have the means and strength to focus on these certain areas and complete what needs to be done.

~ So this Full Moon ~

  •  It’s truly a time to go big or not at all!

  •  Don’t give into the tension, and there is no mistake there will be tension, internal and externally!

  •  It’s time to step outside your comfort zone, Be Courageous!!

  •  You are being asked to feel this Moon, instead of thinking, and to ACT instead of think.

  •  Forge ahead as this Full Moon you will have a very strong sense of purpose.

  •  Solving mysteries and getting to the root of the issue!

  •  Death and Rebirth, Purge the old and make way for the New!!

  •  Purging intense emotional matters that no longer serve you, such as obsession, shame or guilt.

  •  Intensity, extremes, physic awareness and a heightened sensitivity.

 Happy Full Moon
