So, anybody who’s been interested in astrology has probably faced some skepticism from others when they share it. For anybody who considers astrology as a passion, it can be quite frustrating, and quite hurtful at times. If anything, most of us want to prove skeptics wrong by pulling up their birth chart to prove the astrological accuracy we all love. But we can struggle doing this for the following reasons:

Astrology is an Aquarian practice. Think of Aquarius as a sign. It’s peculiar, unique, and generally seen as weird. Aquarius is the abnormal, the opposite of the norm. Astrology happens to fall as an Aquarian practice. With that being said, astrology wouldn’t be the astrology we know and love if people generally accepted it. In an era of rising technology, sciences, and logic, most people would argue that astrology is bogus.

Astrology itself isn’t subjective, the interpretation is. Astrology itself is neutral. However, the people who interpret astrology are not neutral, and that is because we all have different, beautiful birth charts that affects our biases and perceptions. And I haven’t even added our experiences into the mix. Due to the fact that people perceive astrology differently, you could hear many slightly different interpretations from different astrologers - and due to the variation, people aren’t going to believe it. That’s why they say astrology is only as good as the astrologer.

People don’t know what astrology really is. For example, many people tend to think that astrology places 7 billions people into only 12 signs when there’s actually more combinations of natal charts than people in this world. Some people wouldn’t even know what a natal chart is. People don’t really know what astrology is because… well, they don’t study it. And there’s so many other arguments skeptics can make, and their arguments are wrong because… well, they don’t study astrology!

Astrology is in a way, a philosophy. Technically speaking, astrology could be a branch under metaphysics, which is a branch of philosophy. Whether it’s a philosophy or not, astrology can function as a philosophy. Have you ever tried to get your friends into astrology, but they just don’t get it like you do? The same goes for philosophy. In order to learn astrology or “learn” philosophy, the person has learn themselves and go on a journey of discovery. We can try to guide them and teach them, but in the end, they have to truly learn the practice for themselves. There’s actually a term for this: The Socratic method.

And the reason why I’m stating all of these things is while you are completely free to argue about astrology all you want with others, the argument is usually often very futile, for the reasons stated above.

Although it’s a little painful to see people bash on something that’s helped you find who you are and so many other things, at least it’s a beautiful little secret you can keep to yourself since you can’t share it. Astrology is such a powerful practice, and it’s best to leave it into the hands of people who believe it so they can use it ethically.

They are vivacious expressions of their ruling planet, Venus, where it shows its beautiful face though Libra in conversation, creativity and a relatable nature.

Planets in Exaltation, Detriment and Fall (x) Note: There are other versions of this chart found on the internet that differ but this is the one based on the table most commonly referred to officially stated on Wikipedia (x)

Brief summary by me:

Ruler We all know our sun sign’s ruling planet don’t we? It shows us where our sign derives it’s core elements from which play a large and positive role in the sign, it is our signs homes, the place where they feel most comfortable and comes most naturally to them.   Exalted If your sign is exalted in another planet this means you are also supported by the positives of this planet. It does not rule your sign however acts as a positive aid. Kind of like visiting your best friend house, it’s not your home but you sure as heck love it there.

Detriment This is the planet your sign feels awkward in. The influences of the planet do not come easily to your sign and often you struggle in that area. It is the ruling planet of your opposite sign and is foreign and strange to you. Often you are found conforming to the rules of the planet rather than it aiding you.

Fall If you have a fall in a planet, this is the worst planet for your sign. It can be extremely troublesome, you may feel out of your depth with the elements found in that planet. It’s like someone thrusting you into a CEO job and you’ve had no training. It is where your opposite sign exalts in.

Those with Pluto in the 3rd can get random, disturbing thoughts.

Having Neptune in Capricorn can mean that you dream of practical success.

When Lilith is in a house concerning with people, Lilith will either manifest as the atmosphere between you and others, yourself, or the other person.

Having your Sun in the 11th House means you mainly find identify yourself with your friends.

Having Saturn or Capricorn in the 10th House can make you seemingly intimidating and serious to others.

Having Jupiter in the 8th House would mean that you generally have an optimistic, open-minded outlook on topics considered taboo.

Having your Venus in the 10th House would mean that you try to look your best in public.

Jupiter in the 12th House is an “ideal” placement mainly because you’re “expanding” on your subconscious - making you subconsciously open-minded and optimistic.

Having Mars in the 3rd House could mean that you may have had aggressive siblings, or siblings with Aries traits.

Taurus are patient and kind, not responding to our goading, so we forget how angry they will be if we go too far. Respect them; don’t make them remind us.

Gemini love to be playful, to socialise, to make you laugh, so we forget how intelligent they are. Don’t talk down to them, they deserve far better than that.

Cancer seem weak because of how much they care, so we forget their power and knowledge. Allow them to express themselves, not just serve you.

Leo are proud and confident in themselves, so we forget that they care about others, too. Never call them arrogant, they love you and love themselves.

Virgo appear worrisome and trivial, so we forget their sharp wit and mind. Don’t make fun of them, they’re just trying to be sensible where you are not.

Libra give up so much for others, so we forget their stubborn nature in their selfless search for peace. Treat them as people, not just as pushovers.

Scorpio wall up their feelings in themselves, so we forget that they have hearts at all. Give them the safety to show how much they truly care for you.

Sagittarius seem childlike in their exploration of the world, so we forget the wisdom they gain from experience. Listen to their advice, it will serve you well.

Capricorn stay steady fixtures in our lives, so we forget their ambitions and their dizzying desire for recognition. Don’t ever, ever try to hold them back.

Aquarius understand others and love to socialise, so we forget how much they treasure solitude. Remember that they are a person with their own dreams.
