ASTROLOGY GUIDE

Welcome to my astrology guide. With this guide, I will help you get a grasp of the concepts. I also hope that you find inspiration to read your own horoscope. Always start with your own. Reading a horoscope is a lifelong, endless, and time-consuming understanding of knowledge. The best thing you can do is to collect your data, ensure structure, and never rely on one truth or one source. Especially make room for something good to be something else as you expand your knowledge. Always trust your intuition. Then you are well on your way. Below, I will clarify the most basic concepts. These are the same concepts that I use in palmistry. The astrology guide helps you to understand what energy is.

This astrology guide is for you who are a beginner Or for you who seek an overview

DYNAMICS

The 12 zodiac signs belong to one of three dynamics.

MUTABLE: Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces, Gemini

CARDINAL: Aries, Capricorn, Cancer, Libra

FIXED: Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius

Mutable
The mutable energy is volatile and changeable. There is always something happening that changes direction and form. The energy is receptive and influenced. It sees and discovers everything happening around it. At the same time, it is curious. The energy is also shifting. The mutable energy is quick to pick up new knowledge and understand what is moving right now. The challenge for the mutable energy is both its strong susceptibility and its inability to make a lasting decision.

Cardinal
The cardinal energy is initiating and initiating. Something has to happen here, and it should preferably be now. Action must be taken and initiated. There is a very short time from thought to action. The goal is to do something. Whatever it is about.

Fixed The energy holds on to what exists. Perseverance and the goal is to maintain all that has value. It prefers to preserve what is known. Saves for bad times. The energy needs peace and quiet. Stubbornness in the form of perseverance is a strong trait of the energy. The energy takes a long time to change once the foundation is there. This also means a loyal and responsible energy.

THE FIVE ASPECTS

There are more aspects than the ones I review here. We will cover the 5 most important.

An aspect is the energy between two planets.

The influence you feel.

The influence depends on where the planet resides (sign and house) and which degree the planets are in.

In your birth chart, you will find all the aspects that affect you, what you need to work on, and what gives you growth.

Conjunction 0°: The distance between two planets is very small. Sextile 60°: It is a powerful energy that enhances the energy. Square 90°: You may experience resistance. You need to take responsibility and find a solution. Trine 120°: A uplifting energy that flows more easily. Opposition 180°: You need to balance between two planets.

How to Read Yourself: Find your sun (your self). Read which house your sun is in (where you like to be). Read which sign your sun is in (how you express yourself). Read which aspects come from your sun (your reactions).
