In Astrology the Natal or birth chart is a
snapshot of the heavens at the instant of birth with the planets frozen in time. The planets, their placement and their angles
to each other and specific points in our natal chart tell the individual’s
story.
Once we are born, the planets continue
their movement around the zodiac or birth chart. The birth chart or natal chart placements,
however, remains intact for our lifetime.
The movement of planets after our birth is known as transits and
progressions. We will not go into detail
on these interlinking movements in this post, but suffice to say the movement
of planets and the stationary planets of our birth chart will make aspects to each
other and will tell a story of their own.
When these moving planets align with natal
planet placements (and much depends on the overall condition of the natal
chart), areas of your life defined by the house positions of the transits and
progressions as well as the house positions of the planets in the natal chart
are activated and life, events and reactions begins to unfold. This unfolding is experienced on an intuitive
level at first when the transiting planets begin forming an aspect (angle
between these links) and then can be experienced on an external level through events
as the energies become enhanced by the joining up of other planetary influences.
Astrology can pinpoint when these areas of
life will become activated, how it may affect you. However much depends on the attitude you take
during the activity and the duration of its effects on your life. Astrology prepares you for this upcoming
energy entering your life and can provide you with clues as to how to deal with
the energies and events or take advantage of what may transpire over the coming
periods involved.
Astrology can be used as a tool and a guide
to assist you to overcome obstacles, to assist you to prepare for periods in
life when things may not run so smoothly but also to prepare you for times when
great opportunities will be laid in front of you. These opportunities may not materialize if
you do not recognize the prospects that are awaiting you. Astrology gauges the energies of the activity
and provides you with suggestions on how to utilize these energies as they
enter your life.
For those wishing to take advantage of these
early signs and use astrology as a guiding principle in their lives, astrology is
a viable “advertisement” of opportunities to come, both the easy flow and the
harder lessons. Transits and
Progressions offer a window of seeing rather than being blind sighted by events
and not being prepared when you could have an upper hand.
Astrology is a tool of reference that can
be applied in many areas of life. The
birth chart provides the initial backdrop suggesting who you are and how you naturally
cope with life and take advantage of opportunities that come your way. Astrology’s guidelines are not written in
stone as we have free will and can react to any given situation in our own
way. It is however a tool to assist us
in making life unfold with less resistance and with more personal awareness.
We have the tools available in life to
overcome any adversity and also to take advantage of all opportunities. Astrology is one of these. With your own personal decisions combined
with information provided by astrology, we can direct our life and enjoy the
natural flow. Take advantage of the information
astrology provides and have a leading role in your ever unfolding journey.
