Astrology For A Better Life

By Samuel Grayson

Astrology is the ancient practice of predicting life courses based on the positions of the planets, sun, moon, and twelve astrological constellations at the time of a person's birth. It has been passed down and survived for many centuries. General astrology analyzes the impact celestial movements have on earthly activities, people, and nations. This information is then given to the individual who will make decisions and take actions at astrologically favorable times, as predicted by the birth chart. 

 

Today, birth charts are still utilized to give accurate information to those who seek the assistance of the cosmos to help them live prosperous and fulfilling lives. However, not many understand a birth chart and become overwhelmed with unfamiliar banter about retrogrades and eclipses in your third house. This book will give any of you a general understanding of astrology beyond your Sun sign. 

 

You will be taken on a journey through the planets, elements, qualities, and other energies that reside in your chart. Have you ever asked yourself why two people that share the same sign may act like polar opposites? This book will answer that and many other astrological questions beginners have. This book will be your introduction to this ancient divination practice and astrological terms and concepts. 

 

Astrologically speaking, your personality is made up of more than just your "sign." You may be a Leo, but people often mistake you for a Capricorn. Capricorn may be your Rising sign. Maybe you are always attracting Scorpios despite being an Aquarius. You may have Scorpio in Venus. Knowing your birth chart is crucial to understanding yourself and how you interact with others. 

 

Communicating can prove difficult and exhausting with certain types of people. But when talking to others, you may find you do not have to overexplain and repeat yourself. If the person you are speaking with has planetary placements that conflict with yours, getting through to them may seem impossible. However, knowing where Mercury resides in their chart can give you insight on how to maneuver easily through conversations. 

 

If you are having trouble with love, perhaps it is time to look at where Venus stands in your chart and your lover's. This will let you know just what your significant other expects, even if their placement is in a shy or more reserved sign. They may not know how to tell you what they want, so this book will. 

 

If you are lacking in drive and motivation, Mars is the planet you need to take a look at. Together these planets will help you move forward confidently.

 

Numerology is another ancient study that uses numbers to determine your life path. It is regularly used in conjunction with astrology to give a complete snapshot of your personality. When combined, the two can also serve as a guide into your future by providing much-needed nuance for your characteristics. This book explains the relationship between numerology and astrology and takes a simple look at how numbers also influence the zodiac signs. 

 

So sit back and get ready to take notes. After reading this book, you will have insight into the zodiac signs' different personality traits and energies. Being armed with this information will improve your daily communications at work, home, and socially

Chapter 1: Know Your Birth Chart

To fully understand your astrological positioning, you must know the configuration of your birth chart. The following chapter will break down the essential parts of a birth chart and their meanings.

A birth chart is a detailed report of where each planet and other celestial objects were in the sky when you were born. Where you were in the world on that day also plays a major part in finding your Ascendant or Rising Sign—the planet alignment at the time of birth affects each area of your life differently. The birth chart will consist of different zodiac signs that will give insight into your interactions with others and aid on your journey in self-discovery.

So let's start by getting a brief overview of the sun, moon, and planets and what each means for a birth chart.

The Sun

Most people know the placement of the sun at the time of their birth and can tell you if they're a Leo or Capricorn. Modern society uses the sun to write horoscopes which give a general assessment of what to expect.

The sun has a masculine energy and rules over your health, pride, drive, motivation and public recognition. It is how you see yourself and how others view you. The sun is the center of our solar system and the core of your birth chart.

The Moon

The moon rules your home, intuition, memories, reactions, and deep emotions. Your connection to your inner feelings is largely determined by the moon's placement in your chart.

The moon’s energy is feminine and is thought of as your inner mother who protects you from harm by providing feelings of security and safety. For example, if you have a moon in an earth sign, you may find comfort with tangible, material items. We will get more into the elements and how the moon is expressed in each sign later in the book.

Mercury

As the first planet, Mercury has a heavy load to carry. The planet represents rational, objective thought and determines your intellectual style. Mercury is also in charge of writing, researching, editing, language, publishing, telecommunications, electronic gadgets, shipping, and vehicles.

The planet rules over sibling relationships and travel plans too. This planet plays a huge part in how information is dispensed, and with so many aspects to oversee, when Mercury goes retrograde, there are miscommunications, confusion, and delays.

Venus

Venus, known as the planet of love, oversees your love life, gifts, art, fashion, beauty, and decorative style. This seductive planet is non-aggressive but often gets its way by charming others. It is also related to an indulgence in luxurious tastes. Venus loves to be pampered and spoiled, which can be with good food and wine or beautiful surroundings.

The planet is often viewed as superficial since it focuses on life's pleasures. However, without Venus, we would not have a good life to which to aspire.

Mars

Mars serves as the Zodiac's battery, energizing planets and houses. This aggressive warrior planet rules over sex, war, strength, bravery, sharp tools, fire, and stamina. When you are tired but have a goal to reach, Mars boosts you to keep going by fueling you with its passion.

Jupiter

Jupiter is the planet of expansion and good fortune. It is the largest planet and rules wealth and material gains while representing optimism, loyalty, justice, and a greater purpose. Wherever Jupiter is placed, it will push higher education, and that is often gained through travel. This planet oversees philosophy and focuses on the bigger picture.

Saturn

Saturn is the disciplinarian of the bunch. It has an authoritative presence and rules fear, cautiousness, control, pain, and responsibility. Saturn sets standards and creates structure, forcing reality to be confronted.

Uranus

The planet of surprises, Uranus rules the unexpected and the future. As the father of electricity, Uranus oversees new technology and creativity so it's no wonder that inventions fall under the planet's domain. Seen as the rule breaker, Uranus is rebellious and does not stick to the status quo, all while keeping worldwide humanitarian efforts first. It's goal is to help and foster global brotherhood.

Neptune

Neptune is the detox planet as it rules over all bodies of water, thus representing purification and cleansing. Its placement intensifies intuition, dreams, and fantasies. Ruling over the subconscious and deception, Neptune can also cloud perceptions of reality, forcing Saturn to step in and remove the veil.

Pluto

The planet of rebirth and transformation, Pluto represents the life and death cycle. It is the ruler of obsessive and compulsive behaviors, taboos, covert operations, and secrets.

Earth

If you want something done correctly, delegate it to an earth sign and sit back without a worry in the world. Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn make up the family of earth signs. They will complete the task with the utmost thoroughness, and these goal-oriented earthly creatures will also perform any follow-up work required.

Each element represents an aspect of your being, and for earth signs, it is the physical body. Tangibles and material items are also represented by these signs, who are very organized in attaining such objects. As the builders of the zodiac, earth signs do not believe in wasting precious resources; their conservative nature will not allow it. They are the business-minded folks who will show you how to start a company from A-Z.

These signs do not let emotions rule their actions as they believe in practical, realistic goals and laying the foundation to achieve them. Once they have a target in their sites, they will remain disciplined and make necessary sacrifices to obtain their prize.

Earth signs are not easily persuaded and slow to make changes, which can be interpreted as stubborn. That is because they value their stability and have the patience to analyze a situation and determine if it will benefit them before getting involved. But once they are dedicated to the cause, you will not find a more loyal and trustworthy ally.

Fire

The fire sign family consists of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Fire is symbolic of the soul. Like the element, its natives are unpredictable and powerful. These natural-born leaders are courageous and competitive. Their bravery allows them to take on any mission and a strong belief in themselves propels them to do what others deem impossible.

If a new concept is introduced to the world, you will usually find a fire sign behind the scenes pushing the narrative. They have no problem taking the lead, but it is often given to them by others anyway. People are drawn to their magnetism and can-do attitude.

Fire signs are independent and detest feeling trapped or
