The big difference between Aries’ egotism and Leo’s egotism is that Aries is full on confidence and Leo’s pride has insecurity behind it. Leos are usually looking for validation whereas Aries are quite literally full of themselves.

Speak it into existence and trust the process

Easiest way to understand the purpose each part of a chart serves, since I see often that people get confused once they start piecing everything together, here’s how it all connects;

Planets = Dimension of experience/life

Signs = Qualities of experience/life

Houses = Field of experience/life

Aspects = Integration between experiences

water signs, cancer, scorpio, and pisces 

inspiration is gathered during private moments, reflection, dream, and the emotion of personal experiences. solitude is essential, it’s also where most of the activity takes place, opening the door to intuitive and creative resources. beliefs and opinions are typically cultivated by their own time, devises, and personal experiences. social encounters are opportunities to reaffirm and secure these to the identity 

“As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know. Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

— Carl Jung, “Memories, Dreams, Reflections”

“The (Midheaven) reflects a person’s image, their presentation to the world outside. It can be a very important factor in the physical appearance, the physical type, even more so than the ascendant.”

— Liz Greene

Why are cancers so vindictive?? Aren't they supposed to be lovers, they hold grudges to the end of times.

idk like if you ‘hurt them’ or they dont ‘feel connected to you’ then they will just never like you. like i havent even done anything to a cancer and they dont like me because they dont connect with my energy and its like if u dont connect thats fine but why be mean whenever u see me??

the pisces pain can be this recurring and gnawing inability to cope with present reality and the harsh world as is. emotions can feel physically painful, and the senses can be easily overstimulating. pisces can desire to be somewhere else so badly, at times feeling so exhausted they could sleep until death

🌑 Born beneath a New Moon -The Sun and the Moon occupy the same sign Moon is very close to the Sun, almost touching it at a distance of 0-44° ahead (ie. Sun in Cancer with Moon in Cancer, or Sun in Leo with Moon in Leo).  These people are internally heated with hot emotion and intuition. There is also an impending sense of excitement and stimulation for change that can manifest as panic or inability to rest 

🌒  Born beneath a Waxing Crescent Moon - Moon is about 2-3 signs ahead of Sun) Sun sextile Moon

Moon is very close to the Sun forming a 45-60° sextile with the sign ahead (ie. Sun in Taurus sextile Moon in Cancer)  Parents can have opposing values and conflicting personalities that create a sense of instability resulting in the inability to settle as an adult, they can therefore attract partners where unresolved issues are projected and the individual can be intensely irritated or unnerved by minor personality differences

🌓 Born beneath a Waxing Half Moon -Moon is about 3-4 signs ahead of the Sun. Sun square Moon or Sun trine Moon

The Sun forms a 90° square with the Moon sign ahead that is typically the same modality (Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable)…(ie. Sun in Libra (cardinal) square Moon in Capricorn (cardinal) or The Sun forms a 180° trine with the Moon sign ahead that is typically the same element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water)…(ie. Sun in Pisces trine Moon in Cancer) Attracted to partners that display opposing values and behaviours, but also requires somebody to approach life at the same speed. Dane Rudhyar called the first and Last Quarter Moons “crisis” times.

🌔 Born beneath a Waxing Gibbous Moon -Moon is about 5 signs ahead of the Sun. No major aspect between the Sun and the Moon, or a 150° Sun inconjunct Moon

Moon is 150° ahead of the Sun forming a 150° inconjunct (Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Taurus) Often troubled by childhood and the relationship between parents. self development attached to relationships.  Philippe Cornu writes, “This is a day for wisdom. This is a day of speed, clarity, skill and intelligence. Skillful actions are successful.”

🌕 Born beneath a Full Moon (Moon 180° ahead of Sun, 6 signs away)

The Sun and Moon are in dual signs, sitting opposite one another on the birth chart and typically share the same modality (ie. Sun in Aries (cardinal) and Moon in Libra (cardinal).  The individual’s parents can be conflicting and troubled, chaos and instability may have been conditioned as normality, it can be difficult for the person to integrate that the parent was both good and bad.  "Lunar gaps” is, what astrologer Michael Erlewine calls them, “regular opportunities, joints in the nick of time, when insights are somehow more possible than at other times.”

🌖 Born beneath Disseminating Moon (Moon is about 5 signs behind the Sun, Moon inconjunct Sun, or Moon trine Sun)

The Sun is 135° behind the Moon sign forming a 150° inconjunct (Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Cancer) or trine (Sun in Aries and Moon in Sagittarius) The feeling of being born with the responsibility of making important, long term decisions they often feel unready for. Is adaptable and makes the internal adjustment necessary to change with life. Dane Rudhyar writes, “The waning period of the lunation is thus a period of growth for the active power of consciousness. Consciousness, once it is formulated, can be shared with others, and thus can actively affect and transform others.”

🌗 Born beneath a Waning Half Moon (Moon is about 3-4 signs behind the Sun. Sun square Moon or Sun sextile Moon)

Moon is very close to the sun, almost basking in its shadow. Moon is 90° behind the Sun forming a square (Sun in Taurus and Moon in Aquarius) or 60° away forming a sextile (Sun in Cancer and Moon in Taurus) Realiser and materialiser of magic, truthful expression of emotion can seem to create incessant conflict. Can be in a constant crisis until inner balance is obtained. Inner tension becomes explosive without productive outlets. Haydn Paul writes of this phase, “This personality type often feels a secret destiny

🌘 Born beneath Balsamic Moon (Moon is 45° behind the Sun, only 1 or 2 signs away)  Moon semisquare Sun (ie Sun in Pisces and Moon in Taurus)  The Moon disperses the karma for this lifetime. Often regarded as ‘special’ from others from a young age as they displayed much solitary wisdom and willingness to be alone. These people are early rises and may be unaffected by every moon phase but the balsamic (dead moon). May feel abandoned and without a mother 

🌙 People born on the cusp (between 3 degrees°) of Moon Signs  The Moon is considered void of course during the last major planetary aspect in and entrance into the next sign. Asks the questions they already know the answer to. Can have a habit of trusting the wrong people or keep enemies closer than friends

On the topic of being obsessed with introspection and “self discovery”, i recently read something by Viktor Frankl which I feel fits the whole following of astrology/mbti/personal discovery etc very well. He said that, because life has become void of meaning for many, because there is an “existential vacuum”, we compensate by “psycho-analyzing” ourselves, sharing our psychological problems and insights with others, discussing them, etc (and he predicted this development in the 40s!). An existential vacuum leads to an obsession with the own psyche that can be the cause of neuroses and its pseudo-therapy. Self-reflection can in itself be the root of many problems. I had a talk with someone about how phases of self-reflection and lots of journaling are often the least mentally stable and happy ones. When we feel good, we do not feel the need to conduct some sort of self-therapy. Viktor Frankl also came up with the concept of using a paradoxical intention for healing neuroses. A patient with insomnia, for example, cannot sleep because they so rigidly and obsessively try to sleep, which hinders them from relaxing into an unconscious state. So a paradoxical intention would be “for a change, why don’t you try to not sleep tonight, and just relax and think about something nice?” - which then makes them fall asleep quickly. Maybe by setting the paradoxical intention “i will not try to figure myself out and heal myself” many of the problems which were simply rooted in obsessing over yourself will take care of themselves.

when ppl think being a multifaceted human being who shows different sides of themselves depending on how comfortable they are in different situations makes you …”fake” …

“The Italian philosopher Vico had this theory that time moves more in a spiral than it does in a line. He believes that’s why we repeat ourselves, including our tragedies, and that if we are more faithful to this movement, we can move away from the epicenter through distance and time, but we have to confront it every time. I’ve been thinking about trauma—how it’s repetitive, and how we recreate it, and how memory is fashioned by creation. Every time we remember, we create new neurons, which is why memory is so unreliable. I thought, “Well if the Greek root for ‘poet’ is ‘creator,’ then to remember is to create, and, therefore, to remember is to be a poet.” I thought it was so neat. Everyone’s a poet, as long as they remember.”

Meanings Behind the Sign Symbols

Aries

               The glyph for Aries represents the face and horns of a ram. Aries is a sign that is known for its initiative, and its innate ability to move with fervor towards its goals. Like a ram charging forward an Aries pursues its target with abandon. The glyph can also be seen as a geyser bursting forth from the ground, or the female reproductive system, which alludes to the creative potential of the sign as well as its position as the first sign, and the baby of the zodiac.

Taurus

               The glyph for Taurus shows us the head and horns of the bull. Steadfast, stubborn, and sensual the bull is a great parallel to the Taurean nature. Taurus is known for its ability to work tirelessly towards its goals, not budging from the path that they’ve set for themselves. The glyph shows us the crescent of the mind atop the circle of the spirit, which reflects Taurus’ ability to push forward with their whole beings to attain the security and comfort that they desire.

Gemini

               Gemini is the sign of the twins, and in its glyph we can see the duality that is at the very core of its symbolism. Gemini sees the duality of all things, that of light and darkness, right and wrong, male and female then incorporates these dual natures into the same being. The glyph is the Roman numeral for two, and yet at the same time it can be seen as a tunnel or a doorway. Gemini synthesizes information, pulling it in, processing it, and then disseminating it to others. The Geminian works as a conduit for knowledge and its role in the zodiac is that of the informant.

Cancer

               The glyph for Cancer shows us the claws of the crab. With its hard protective shell, home beneath the waves, and propensity to cling to its prey and possessions the crab is an apt metaphor for the watery Cancer. Crabs live their lives in the endless ebb and flow of the ocean, and for Cancer it is no different. They feel the endless tides of their emotions and instinctively feel the ups and downs in all things. The glyph is also reminiscent of the earth and moon, circling each other in their eternal dance through the cosmos. We’re also shown a mother’s breasts, which are ruled by the sign as well as their function of nourishment.

Leo

               Here we see the head, mane, and swooping tail of the lion. Leo reflects much of its qualities, with the females being aggressively enterprising and fiercely loyal, and the males being protective and deeply prideful. In this glyph we again see the circle of spirit, the sun, and a tendril that reaches out projecting its power and influence. A Leo similarly projects their innermost power and warmth in order to attract attention and admiration from those around them.

Virgo

               The “M” of Virgo shows its ties to the sign of Scorpio. Indeed at one time the two were considered to be one and the same, representing the processes of birth and death and their inexorable link. At some time in the past the two were split, with the sign of Libra occupying the space between, representing the harmony between the two. The tail of Virgo’s M is turned inward becoming the female genitalia and being representative of the fertility and purity of the sign.

Libra

               The glyph for Libra is that of the setting sun. It is the twilight before the darkness, the time of day where light and darkness exist in equal proportions, appropriate for the balance that is representative of this sign. Libra seeks harmony in its relationships with those around it and has an innate ability to find balance in opposing forces. The glyph is also the Mirror of Venus, resting atop a shelf. This alludes to the planetary ruler of the sign as well as Libra’s association with the 7th House, which is sometimes called the House of Mirrors.

Scorpio

               The glyph for Scorpio shows its ties to Virgo, but instead of its tail pulling in it thrusts outward. This shows how the Scorpion’s will and drive is turned to power and the ability to change the world around it. Scorpio is a sign known for its great initiative and ambition as well as its great capacity for change and transformation.

Sagittarius

               The glyph is an arrow, ready to fire from the bow of our fiery archer. The arrow symbolizes the far-reaching search for knowledge that is inherent in this sign. Sagittarius wants to push the boundaries of human knowledge and experience and push their minds and bodies forward with abandon towards this goal.

Capricorn

               The glyph gives us a silhouette. It is that of a creature that is half mountain-goat, and half fish. The mermaid has climbed out of the primordial nurturing waters to climb the mountain of success and accomplishment. It’s important to recognize this dual nature in Capricorn. The goat can no more escape where he came from than he can the drive that propels him forward. There will forever be a connection back to the home and indeed what is built in life serves to provide sustenance and security for it.

Aquarius

               The glyph for Aquarius shows us waves, it is multi-faceted in its nature now more than ever. It is the ever-permeating waves of electromagnetism and energy that surround us. It is the radio waves encoded with information as well as the sound waves that carry a human voice to all ears that listen. This is the “water” that is poured forth from Aquarian amphora. It is the free and ever present information that will lead to an even more enlightened future.

Pisces

               Two fish are swimming in opposite directions, but cannot escape one another because of the chains that bind them. This represents the dual-nature of the Piscean individual. One fish swims upwards toward divinity. It wishes to return home and be one with its source. The other fish swims downwards toward the material realm. There is much that is unfinished and the weight of the world is constant in the emotional ties that bind.  Pisces seeks to use this connection to higher spirituality to work as a conduit for healing. They take on the pain and suffering of others in an attempt to soothe them.
