[Astro theory lies ahead...]

...Each zodiac sign has its own vibrational rhythm that can be expressed through body language via tone and rhythm, gestures and postures.

As an example take Gemini, emitting a high, and quick vibration.

Gemini is all about discoveries, as they want to unravel all the mental nooks and crannies that the world has to offer!.

This extroverted desire can also be observed at the body.

Gemini placements( especially at the rising sign ) can encompass quick and sharp movement, this also can even be seen on the eyes, constantly flickering all around as they want to draw in all the pieces of life.

Let's take as a contrast Taurus.

Taurus encapsulates a more low, calm and slow vibration.

Taurus engagement with life is through the bodily senses, wanting to enjoy nice and slow all the simple pleasures in life, especially from nature.

This same esoteric state is reflected also outwards through the body with slow, relaxed and a laid back tone,as they feel at ease with nature's often slow and soothing cycles.

This specific rhythm and tone of each zodiac can also show itself useful, to be used as a tool for tapping into the natives planetary positions.

Want to tap into your most talented and shining aspects? try to observe the rhythm of the zodiac that the Sun lies in and try to actively engage in it.

Want to connect with the more soothing and emotional aspects of your personality, try to relax, to surrender and let your body flow in the rhythm of the zodiac that your moon lies.

[The dark side of the moon...]

People usually point to Saturn for obstacles and hard struggles to watch out for but I want to also point to another possible obstacle.... Your Moon.

Moon besides the emotional world of one's person, it also signifies the needs, what makes us feel good, soothing and comfortable, the catch here is that it is easy to settle on this comfort,our safe space, surrendering to our passions and sticking to this state more than is needed, almost like an addiction.

Be careful to not be drowned by your moon. It can drag you in a sweet and soothing way, like a soft lullaby. The key is balance, don't let one field of your chart overshadow you.

Take care, you all!

sometimes flames need to be engulfed with waves...

...sometimes waves need to be drowned in flames.

I read the shifting language of symbols—

tarot, stars, shadow, light

(with a deeper leaning toward the psychological aspect)

if something in you resonates,

you’re welcome to cross the threshold.

To truly feel a sign’s rhythm, try this:

Envision a chart bathed entirely in one sign’s light—twelve houses, one voice.

Let it echo through every realm: the body, the soul, the path, the shadow.

Imagine how its essence unfolds in each area of life, whole and unfiltered.

In this mirror, the sign reveals its true totality.

Your personal path in the birth chart

Each ones birth chart can provide the needed information for personal growth,by looking at specific placements and various combinations in it,we can lay the general personal pathway, it's start, the destination and the possible route to get there.

Important note! have in mind to not underestimate or look away from the starting point, while an emphasis is placed on the destination,carefull attention and nurture it's also needed for all aspects of ones chart,to grow them and encapsulate them all together.

Below are the various pathways:

[From the as Ascedant to the Sun]

The Sun can be seen as the end goal,as it represents the core identity, the closer one "gets" to each ones sun, the more ones natural and core personality can shine brighter, the Sun also corresponds to the conscious driven part of the psyche, in contrast at the beginning of the pathway we find the Ascedant, that represents the more instinctual,unconscious part of the personality with it's ideas and direct responses.

So here we have a path from the unconscious natural habitat of ones self to the more conscious and higher personality,that often can call us to get out of our comfort zone.

[From the Moon to the Sun]

Next up we can imagine the moon/sun pair, although it posses many similarities with the above mentioned pair, the difference here is the starting point,The Moon expresses the emotional side and needs, although it's crucial and integral to the personality,We may often find ourselves choosing the "easy way out" through the moon,giving in and engaging more into our emotional needs and pleasures while from to time avoiding the conscious and active part.

In short it's possible that we do more things that we want but in the process we might overshadow what we must do.

[From the south to the north node]

Lastly as a brief mention, we can look at our south and north node for possible guidance, through a more "karmic" lens, the south node can tell us where we start from,where our roots can be found while the node suggests where we often need to go,leaving our roots, taking the leap forward.

[How to reach the top]

Various parts of the birth chart can be looked and used to get to the final goal, but the more stronger and beneficial ones are Jupiter and Saturn.

Jupiter hinders at how to grow, what actions seem more natural for our accomplishment and equally importantly, by looking at the placement of Saturn we can get the appropriate information of what possibly faults/problems may arise and how we can discipline ourselves to avoid them.

[wavesswallowsflames]

Just as it states, always question! Every question open a path to a clearer view!

I think it should be normalised in the astrology community to question people and ask, 'why do you say this?'.

And don't be afraid call out people who make statements and can't back themselves up with actual sources.

because wdym 'you'll never find love as a 12h venus' or 'sun doesn't represent father'.

The duality across the planets

Across astrology and many other spiritual fields, we find the same recurring pattern – the pair, the duality, which can create a greater sum than the individual parts.

The various symbols and ideas are many, most of them having the common thread of relating duality to creation, such as yin and yang, god and devil, Adam and Eve, Gaia and Uranus, good and evil – the list goes on. Although the forms of representation may change, the essence remains the same, highlighting the interactions between the two parts: creation, unity, balance, struggle, and contrast.

Sun and moon: the duality of man

More specifically, astrology seems to encapsulate (while taking a little creative liberty) many dualities, each playing its own specific role. Starting with the Sun and the Moon as the basic pair, they reveal the dyadic nature of humanity: Conscious and unconscious, light and dark, logic and emotion. Of course, humans draw from these two aspects, most of the time [deliberately or unknowingly], expressing themselves in parallel. Yet at certain times, one aspect takes control over the other, and this imbalance gives rise to many more possibilities for expression.

Venus and Mars: Question and answer

Next, we encounter the pair of Venus and Mars, which further develops the idea of the Sun and the Moon, adding a layer of action and sexuality in more general terms, not confined to biological or societal frameworks. This can often been seen strongly in flirting: usually, one person leans more into Venus, wanting to impress and attract, while the other desires to engage and respond. Of course, these roles can reverse at any moment, leading to a cosmic dance between them – a question and answer dynamic.

Knowing when to take an active or passive role at the situation, is the golden mean of this pair.

Jupiter and Saturn: Reward and punishment

Further down the chain, we find Jupiter and Saturn, the two planets responsible for personal growth. Jupiter wants to expand, to advance, while Saturn wants to limit and repress. Combined, they work like the carrot and the stick: Jupiter rewards with pleasures, while Saturn punishes with pain. Both want the best for the person in their growth, each playing a crucial role in shaping the individual’s development.

Uranus and Neptune: blissful skies and dark waters.

This pair is concerned with higher and more metaphysical knowledge. Uranus, above, is associated with epiphanies, bright ideas, and clear views, while Neptune, just like the depths of the ocean, hides its own deep and dark treasures of knowledge. Of course, balance is needed in this pair as well, otherwise, one may find themselves daydreaming, trapped in the clouds, or lost in the depth, with the dark waters blurring their vision.

We can see now that the duality watches over us, representing itself through different, more specified pairs. Each part of the pair constantly shifting and moving, dominated or submitting to the other when needed. This constant motion, with its balance and unbalances, its ups and downs, sets the fundamental pillar of the world.

March may end, but Aries’ fire still burns on...

Although in our modern calendar March comes to an end, astrologically, we are still under the influence of the Sun in Aries, which continues until roughly April 19.

Aries holds great significance—it is linked to the first house, symbolizing new beginnings, charging forward with the relentless force of the ram....

As a cardinal fire sign, Aries embodies both initiative and intensity. Its cardinal nature drives change, action, and movement, while its fiery essence wields a double-edged force—one that can be wildly creative or fiercely destructive.

In the human realm, this energy fuels a deep craving for action, passion, and assertiveness. People may appear more direct, active, but also more irritable or impulsive. In short, Aries bestows an immense force—one that can work miracles or trigger chaos, depending on how it is wielded.

With Mercury currently retrograde (ending soon on April 6), extra caution is needed, as it can lead into:

Sudden conflicts arising from misunderstandings, or

Misunderstandings that combust into conflicts.

Thus, balance is key—knowing when to ride the fiery wave and when to temper it, preventing unnecessary flare-ups.

Lastly, from an alchemical standpoint, both the time period of Aries and autumn are considered [hot/warm] and [wet/humid]in nature. Thus, a balanced approach suggests that a mix of warm and cool foods is preferable to maintain harmony.

Wishing the best for everyone as we enter this new month, and may we all shine brightly.

Sun, Moon, and Rising: The Foundation of the Psyche

The Sun, Moon, and Rising signs are among the most influential placements in a birth chart, forming the foundation of one’s psyche.

The Sun: The conscious identity

Starting with the Sun, it is associated with the eternal fire—the fire Prometheus stole and gave to humankind, granting them higher mental and conscious functions, serving as a stepping stone for progress.

Psychologically, the Sun can be linked to the ego in Freudian theory—the conscious part of the psyche. It represents the core identity, the self that emerges through deliberate and intentional actions. It is the guiding force of personal will, shaping how we define ourselves and pursue our purpose.

The moon: an unconscious depth

Next, the Moon has been associated across ancient civilizations with emotions, intuition, and mystery—an abyss within. Just as the Moon (especially the full Moon) is tied to love, passion, and heightened emotions, it is also linked to myths that reflect a more primal and dark state, seen in myths of vampires and werewolves.

In Freudian terms, the Moon corresponds to the id—the unconscious self, driven by instinct, raw emotion, and primal desires. It holds the rougher, more primal, and darker aspects of the psyche, influencing our deepest emotional responses and unconscious desires.

The rising sign: the mediator

Lastly, the Rising sign, though more elusive to define, is often associated with more abstract and open-ended concepts. It represents the material body, the lens through which we perceive the world, and the bridge between the self and external reality.

The Rising sign completes Freud’s foundational triad, aligning with the superego—the part of the psyche that distinguishes between the self and others. It acts as an internal observer, striking a balance between the id and the ego, allowing us to navigate social interactions and function within society.

Together, the Sun, Moon, and Rising sign form the foundation of one’s identity. Each element reveals unique traits, and when combined, they create a complex, multifaceted inner world—unleashing endless possibilities for personality and individuality to express themselves in a truly unique way.
