“We ought to view ourselves with the same curiosity and openness with which we study a tree, the sky or a thought, because we too are linked to the entire universe.”

Astro Stuff I wish I knew as a Beginner

1.Not all "astro observation" posts are created equal: You'll find many of them floating around tumblr, and though they are quite aesthetic to look at, not all of them are observations by definition. I've read some points in those posts that I have seen in real life, but a lot of them relate to the PERSONAL experience of the astrologer, and may not be relevant to you.

Example: opinions on scorpios. I've seen everything from people characterizing them as sexy and vindictive to emo and loyal. Not every post is worth your time. One person's scorpio ain't another person's scorpio. And who says they can't be both?

2. Stereotypes: This one gets old very quickly. By the time you read your hundredth post describing Aries as simply "fiery" and Pisces as simply "dreamy" you'll quickly realize surface level 'pop' astrology, while FUN to read, pales in comparison to real life analysis of how these placements work in relation to an actual environment, the person's life experiences and their chart.

Example: Aries sun vs Aries moon, two VERY different expressions of Aries energy. Chart positions; An Aries sun in the seventh house does not behave like an Aries sun in the third house(though you will find common patterns), Aspects to that placement that challenge and change how that energy is expressed through.

Also!!! People don't always react the same way every single time. Context matters dude.

3. "Bad" and "Worst" Placements: You'll see a lot of posts like "why ____ is the WORST placement" or "why you'll have bad luck if you have _____" and the biggest offender of all, "Saturn is scary" type of posts. FIRST OF ALL, I don't believe in being afraid of one's own placements. It's quite the self-defeating prophecy.

SECOND OF ALL, Saturn is only truly shitty if you perceive it as a scary party pooper oppressive force. Saturn is, in fact, an incredible planet if you learn the lesson it is trying to teach. Jupiter may give you all the riches in the world, but Saturn will make sure you MAINTAIN it. And true knowledge is worth its weight in gold.

You can avoid all the lessons in life, take every cheat code and shortcut. But Time is the great Equalizer. The athlete that wins the race by taking steroids and drugs will be feeling different when his kidneys eventually give out.

And the athlete that actually did the painful work of working out will be feeling different when he outlives his opponent due to good health and wins the race by his own merit.

4. CHARTS: I don't know if anyone else had this issue, but while shifting from placidus to whole sign, all my planets shift into the next house, which becomes very confusing because it completely changes the story and meanings of that chart. I recommend reading both interpretations and choosing one which you truly resonate with. Astrologers and astro sites use different chart types.

5. Potential: Every chart contains the potential of that individual to be their best, their average, or their worst. There is no "I'll be like this forever" because a. the only thing forever is the fact that nothing is forever and b. it can be difficult to perceive your progress and change when you're ACTUALLY LIVING IT. There was a quote that went "Life can only be lived forwards but understood backwards" or something like that.(please reblog this with the actual quote if you guys found it)

6. Space Racism: Lets always remember this folks; Your zodiac sign is not an excuse to be a shitty person. And vice versa; You shouldn't be shitty to someone because of their zodiac sign. Anybody who goes "oh my god I don't like you 'cause you're a libra" is just giving this really interesting subject such a bad rep. Tell that person they're "being such an asparagus right now" to infuriate them and move on.

Don't hate someone 'cause of some constellation in the sky, understand why you dislike them based on real-world behavior and actions.

Okay, mention if I missed anything or if there's something I'm wrong about. I'm learning all this just like you guys, and would appreciate it if I'm going off course.

Also, saturn is much deeper than what i mentioned earlier, but the point was not to fear planets like they are out to get you.
