#astrology explained

Let’s get into some real soul food today. And no, I’m not talking greens and cornbread. I’m talking astrology—the kind that doesn’t just entertain, it illuminates. The kind that goes beyond your sun sign and cracks open the vault of who you really are. I’m not here to convince you astrology is a science—it’s not. Often called a pseudoscience because it lacks empirical validation like psychology…

Aquarius is the detriment of the sun, meaning that Aquarius people tend to struggle with self esteem (they can either not think highly of themselves or be egotistical, it depends on the person and the rest of the chart!)

Saturn and Neptune can make a person tall & clumsy, you see this more with Saturn conjunct the moon or asc rather than Neptune though.

Traditionally, the sun represents the soul and the moon represents the body, however it was also thought that the moon was the primary significator for personality as well.

Combust planets are more difficult (in my experience) if that native was born during the day.

The 12th house rules the bedroom and dreams.

People with their north node in the 4th house may end up moving far away from their hometown.

Mercury: Your friend form elementary school that made you understand yourself a lot more

Venus: Your cooler older cousin who felt like a fashionista

Mars: The intimidating teenager down the street

Jupiter: Your favorite, jolly old grandparent

Saturn: Your aunt that you thought was super mean, but as you got older you realize she was the only one really looking out for you

Uranus: That person you wanted to be when you grew up that seemed untouchable

Neptune: The ghost you thought you had in your bedroom

Pluto in Sagittarius is going to lay a lot of the groundwork for the practical application of thier ideas that the Pluto in Capricorn generation is going to do.

Your moon sign can often act like a second rising sign. The sign right behind your moon sign? There’s a little bit of 12th house energy there. The one after your moon? A little bit of 2nd house energy there.

I made a post a while ago about moon signs and their “type”, and this was based off this concept. It’s more common in Vedic astrology but it still is profoundly useful in the western style most English speaking folks know.

For example, if someone is asking about siblings, you can not only check the planet that rules the 3rd house (3rd house is siblings), and the 3rd house itself, you can also check the sign three signs away from the moon and if there’s anything going on there.
