What is astrology?
What happens in the sky is reflected on Earth, as the law of correspondence states that what is above is like what is below. Astrology has been a guide for humans for centuries, where people have sought guidance in the stars.
By studying planetary transits, such as the sun’s journey throughout the year and the constellations, humans have long been able to plan and predict certain patterns, just as astrologers do today. As a result, astrology has become an incredible tool for living and guidance. With this tool, we can gain self-knowledge, understand our life purpose, our strongest traits and challenges. It also reveals patterns or tendencies in love, family, relationships, money, career, health, habits, and other areas.
Astrology is a guide to help you know yourself better and have clear guidance for making decisions; however, like everything in life, we have free will to make our own choices and follow our hearts.
What is a Natal Chart?
The Natal Chart is a "snapshot" of the stars and constellations at the exact moment and place of birth. This mandala shows everything needed to understand a person's characteristics. It includes the analysis of the sun's position, the moon, the ascendant, the midheaven, the south and north nodes, and many other details that can be drawn from this map, which we’ll explain in more depth in future posts.
In the Natal Chart, we can study the positions of the planets in the twelve houses and the role each one plays. The combination of this with the zodiac signs shapes our personality (the formula you chose to enter this life and that describes you, allowing you to understand yourself better).
What is the Solar Return Chart?
The Solar Return Chart is an annual map based on the location where you physically spend your birthday. It’s used to gain a clearer idea of the transits that will influence the following year.
The energy of the year begins to take effect 40 days before our birthday, so many people travel to a different location from where they live to change their ascendant, which causes the planets to shift into different houses.
This chart reveals trends for each month as the sun transits through the year.
In our upcoming posts, we'll share more about this amazing tool!
