Extensions with the Astrology Chart (Beyond the Sun Sign)

In determining the characteristics behind any given Sun Sign, it is important to understand that there are many variables within the Birth or Natal Chart that will affect the solar (Sun’s) placement.  Although the Sun Sign will be reflective of the inner qualities within each of us, the Moon is our “governing need” expressed through its sign and house position.  There are many other influences that can alter how someone is perceived.

Many individuals may question why a person who should be a gentle, peaceful and amiable Piscean, for example, acts in an intrusive manner and demanding to be the one who comes first and displays aggressive behaviour in general.  This is quite contrary to the characteristics of the Piscean Sun Sign.  Why is this person so different and displays little of their Sun Sign character traits?  In this case, this individual may have a strong Aries placement in their Chart with the Ascendant in Aries and the Moon, Mars and Jupiter all in Aries or in the first house.

The strong Arian Characteristics will sway the soft and gentle Pisces demeanor, perhaps to an extreme, unless this individual has learned how to curtail these strong character traits and use them to their advantage.  It should be understood that we all have the potential, regardless of our Birth Chart signs and placements, to make any challenging aspect work in our favour.   This actually is the point or purpose of difficult aspects in our Natal Chart.  We are not at the mercy of our Birth Chart.  We are the orchestrator of our destiny and have the ability and tools within our Birth Chart to activate any aspect and use it to its full potential.

Let’s get back to why this Pisces Sun individual displays such contrary behavioural tendencies.   We must look deep within the Chart and examine all the aspects and variances within the horoscope to come up with a complete description of this person’s personal makeup.  This is what makes each of us so unique and one onto ourselves.  One Pisces individual will be different from another Pisces individual.  However deep down inside, the qualities of Pisces will still be very apparent.  This individual described above can utilize these strong Aries character traits and use these talents to enhance their Piscean nature.  Perhaps through spreading compassion and spirituality through self-expression or enterprise that aids others in self-realization.  This individual would have a very strong drive and could express the Piscean nature through viable acts.

There are many avenues of expression and many release valves that unlock potential.  Through our spiritual evolution, we slowly unlock our Natal potential.  By going deep into the Astrological Chart, you can uncover your true potential and your purpose in this incarnation.  Astrology provides input and meaning into our life’s pursuit, but WE always make the final decisions.
