#astrology misconceptions

I just realized that I haven't been posting anything here on Tumblr for a month. So, here I am! This post is going to be the second part of the astrology misconceptions. This post is based only on tropical astrology, like usual.

Myth: Evolved vs. unevolved signs thing. For example, evolved Leos have only good qualities of Leo, while unevolved Leos have only bad qualities of Leo.

Fact: I have never understood this statement. Like, what do you mean that there are an evolved Leo and unevolved Leo? Not that it's just a false statement, it doesn't make any sense at all. What I hate the most about it is that people describe evolved signs as spiritually aligned and people who have everything together, while unevolved signs are described as negative people who complain. The fact here is that every sign has both good and bad qualities at the same time.

Myth: Saturn represents karma and lessons you need to learn. All you need to do is to learn your lesson and Saturn will reward you.

Fact: No, it's not going to happen like that to all people. Yes, Saturn is about maturity, discipline and wisdom, but that's only half the story. Actually, Saturn is about extremes. It can represent both maturity and childishness, discipline and laziness, wisdom and ignorance, wealth and poverty etc. Saturn is never in the middle. It is definitely not about lessons you need to learn. If you want to talk this way, then every planet can be about lessons and karma. Every planet can teach you something. Saturn is actually a symbol which indicates an event that is going to happen in your life, whether you're a mature person or not. And this event is going to be positive or negative, depending on how Saturn is placed in your chart.

Myth: Astrocartography shows you where you should live in order to fulfill your life purpose.

Fact: I don't know any professional astrologer who uses astrocartography in practice. The idea is cool, but it doesn't really make sense. Like, if your life sucks in New York, your life is going to suck in Los Angeles too. If your love life sucks in Berlin, then your love life will still suck in Paris. That's your life pattern and it's going to follow you wherever you live, unfortunately. It's not about your mindset and where you live, it's about the conditions of planets in your chart. Domiciled and exalted planets give favorable outcomes, while detrimental and fallen planets give unfavorable outcomes. The karma of your birth chart doesn't fall away, whether you live in Dubai, London or Miami.

Myth: North Node is your life path you need to follow, while South Node is your past life you need to let go of. But at the same time, you need to balance the Nodes to get in your destiny.

Fact: I have already said about this, but I don't mind to repeat it. North Node is actually about the area which increases in your life, for better or for worse. It's about the area which is present too much in your life. On the other hand, South Node is about the area which decreases in your life. It's about the area which is present too little in your life. With that being said, you cannot just balance both North and South Node, because the Nodes are about disbalance in your life. They always form opposition aspect together, meaning that North and South Node are completely different from each other. You cannot balance two completely different things tho.
