Some individuals
are born on the cusp of the previous or next sign, depending on what day you
were born. Those born under these circumstances
are known as cusp sign sun personalities.
They carry traits of both the sign they were born under and the second cusping
sign.
The Sun has
an orb of influence of 16°, and every sign encompasses 30°. For example, if your Sun was at 1° Aquarius,
you would have 9° Aquarius and 7° Capricorn tendencies (because the sun sign
prior to Aquarius is Capricorn). Another
example would be if your Sun was at 29° Aquarius, you would have 9° Aquarius
and 7° Pisces (because the sun sign after Aquarius is Pisces).
The Sun
sign defines who we are internally and those that know us well can relate to the
inner Sun sign character traits. (Our outside personality or the personality we
show to the world, is defined by our Ascendant, also known as the Rising
Sign. But this will be discussed a
little later.)
We also
have our Moon which also has its own sign. The Moon’s sign in our chart also
has a 30° range. The Moon represents our
emotional response and the feelings we have about life in general. The Moon is our emotions, our sensitivity and
our way of dealing with the world through our emotional response. For example, if you have the Moon in Cancer,
you are very sensitive to your environment, family concerns are an important
part of what you relate to and your response to sensitive issues is an emotional
one. Cancer tries to keep the emotions
intact, but it’s not easy and sometimes they just surface no matter how hard
the Cancer Moon tries to bury them.
On the
contrary, if you have your Moon in Capricorn, your emotional response to life
situations is kept totally under control, and you seem to be well contained
when it comes to emotional outbursts of expression. The lack of showing
emotion, however, only masks hidden emotions.
We also
have what is known as our rising sign or Ascendant as mentioned earlier. The
rising sign is our reaction or statement that we show to the world, especially
when we first meet people and face experiences in the external world. In many cases, the rising sign is also suggestive
of how we look and our body shape, although with so many now using medical procedures
to change their appearance, it is not as accurate as it was years ago.
Our
external expression to the world with an Aries Rising sign would be quite
different from say a Scorpio Ascendant.
The Aries Rising personality is outgoing, confident and in some cases,
rather pushy. Aries want things to take place immediately, while the Scorpio
Ascendant personality is much more reserved and tends to listen before they
speak. Others seem to pay attention to a Scorpio Rising individual when they
speak. Aries are very out-front and open,
while Scorpio has a more hidden, secretive persona to the outside world. Quite often there is something mysterious
about a Scorpio Rising sign.
We also
have Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto located
within the framework of our birth chart as well as part of fortune, moon’s nodes,
asteroids, chiron and the list goes on. The
birth chart is a snapshot of the heavens the instant we were born with all of the
planets surrounding the earth which would be in the center of the 360° circle
what represents our chart diagram. The
circle is divided into 12 sections which are known as the houses and each house
represents an area of life. The planets
at birth are located in these houses and their particular energies are released
into areas of life and traverse (transits) with our life as we move forward
from our birth.
Astrology
runs much deeper than our quick little description in this article, but we were
thinking of those with a new interest in Astrology. We thought we would provide
some insight into the workings of Astrology.
The natal or birth chart speaks of our personality and our strengths and
challenges.
Astrology
can also be used as a timing device for ongoing energies in place in our
personal life experiences and for so much more.
There is
much more to Astrology than your sun sign.
It is an endless study and such a valuable tool. With the proper tools, we can accomplish
and/or overcome anything in life. Astrology offers insights to assist with your
choices!
