What is Astrology?

The information on this page comes from what has been guided to me by my own higher self, and also comes from my own experience with doing mundane and personal readings. I do not have all the answers and will likely continue to be guided and experience more and more as time goes on. As I learn more I will update this page and share my knowledge and experience here. I am saying this because a lot of what might be on this page is likely to differ in many ways from what you might hear from mainstream astrology. I always go by own guidance from my higher self and I hope this can help to clear any misunderstandings, misinformation and false interpretations and understandings that may exist in this field. Again, I don’t know everything and will continue to learn as I go but I hope this can at least be of some help or a form of clarity.   

  

Astrology, as I have been guided, is an energetic template. The movement of the planets, a cosmic frequency clock, relating to the overall natural cycles of the universe. It is a physical representation  or manifestation of these energetic cycles at work. In monitoring them and the events that unfold and the energetic themes surrounding them you can then use geometry and mathematics to then calculate these cycles and figure out their timings and effects. Astrology is in essence a mathematical interpretation and understanding of the natural cycles that exist around us on earth, in our solar system, and how the greater cycles of our galaxy and the universe at large are tied into that.   

  

It is related to the phrase ‘as above, so below’. What frequencies and cycles come from the universe at large that affect our galaxy, thus affect our solar system and thus affect us on earth within the solar system. Everything is tied together through frequency, vibration and these natural cycles manifest physically in our solar system are a reflection of that. Astrology is simply one means of viewing and interpreting its effects on the physical environment at large. And through this we have created a system that not only visually(to an extent) but mathematically helps us to understand this.   

  

  

As I have said astrology is the geometrical and mathematical interpretation of natural universal frequencies and cycles that relate to the more broader frequencies and cycles of the universe at large. The growth and expansion of the universe relates to the movement and growth of our galaxy which relates to the movement of our solar system which then relates to the movements and cycles that exist within our solar system which then boils down to its relation to us on earth.   

  

Modern western astrology is calculated using the start of the cycle of the earth in its orbit around the sun which we determine as the spring equinox or when the sun enters into Aries. This is a specific point in this cycle that can be scientifically determined and calculated, just like the fall equinox and the summer and winter solstice’s. These are things we learned about in school. All the other positions are calculated based on this, from the vantage point of the earth. If you were born on mars you would have to do astrology differently and calculate the cycles based off of mars’ orbit around the sun. Because we are on earth that is why we use the earths natural cycle.   

  

Contrary to popular belief, astrology is not about the constellations, not at all in fact. It is about the mathematical and geometrical positions within the 360 degrees of the chart. The constellations were simply, at one point, a visual representation of what we saw of these cycles from earth, however that changes visually over time but not mathematically.   

  

You see, each sign is made up of 30 degrees. Each constellation that we know of in the zodiac represents a 30 degree segment, however each constellation when viewed from earth is not at all equal to a 30 degree slice of the sky. In fact some constellations don’t even make sense in terms of the qualities of the sign. For example, Aquarius, the water bearer. Aquarius is an air sign not a water sign and has absolutely nothing to do with ‘bearing water’. Now this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call it Aquarius, it’s just that at the time of conception that constellation was likely the most prominent one in that location in the sky. But it’s not about the constellation, it’s about the 30 degrees at which that portion exists in and the energetic themes that exist or come into play when that section of the cycle is reached. It’s about the mathematical calculation, the effects of the cycle as it relates mathematically and geometrically in how we have determined that cycle to behave. It is not because of what we see in the sky, that was just to make it easier to visualize and represent outside of the mathematical and geometrical functions.   

  

This is why Vedic astrology, through what I have been told via my own higher self, is simply no longer accurate. You see, the earth has a wobble known as the precession of the earth, which causes our view of the sky and the constellations to drift over time. However, this drift is what we perceive due to the wobble but the earth itself does not actually move from its position in its orbit around the sun. Remember what I said about how modern western astrology is calculated based on earths orbit starting at the spring equinox? That’s because we are mapping the cycles mathematically and geometrical, just like how the universe does and functions, not just visually at an illusion that we see because of a slight tilt. In fact this tilt doesn’t matter because as we hone in on a birth chart with more detail using a modern house system like placidus, it then takes into account your position on the earth at a specific time.   

  

My higher self’s guidance is in fact to use placidus as the house system due to its modern accuracy. In fact my guidance on the house system is that it is a fine tuning dial, something that you can use to tune in more specifically to what you want. Each house represents the energy of the sign it corresponds to, for example first house carries the energy or vibe of Aries but is not Aries, second house carries the energy and vibe of Taurus but is not Taurus, etc. the traditional meanings of the houses do not apply. They were attempting to derive meanings using a primitive and misguided form of interpretation at the time. We have more of an ability today to do more precise calculations and can now see more so what that system was actually meant to be by using a house system such as placidus. The guidance I got about the fine tuning is why each house represents the energy of a sign. It allows you to add in or shift the energy in places where you want it, this can be not only affected by time but also by location.   

  

  

  

This is the part that most people either miss out on or ignore completely. If astrology is what moves us then why do we have free will, or even how can we have free will if everything is predetermined? Well that’s because everything is not predetermined, at least not in the way you think. You see, you create your own destiny. Something that was meant to be was that way because you made it that way and previously decided that is what you wanted, even if that decision was made before you incarnated here. That is how powerful you actually are as the true being that you are. Other people can also inflict control as well but remember that you are powerful enough to change it and having healthy boundaries comes into play here, as well as respecting each others individuality and uniqueness and allowing people to live how they want instead of attempting to inflict unwanted control.   

  

This leads into another part of where I am guided with astrology. It is an energetic template conducive to certain things, like a math formula with variables and we get to determine what we put into those variables in order to change the output of the equation. Yes, the energetic cycles do exist, yes they carry certain themes and yes things play out in terms of those energies and themes. However, the universe is also infinitely creative and if you want something to come through within a specific energy there is likely a creative way to do it. This is why whenever you ask for guidance on something you don’t always get the answer in the way you expect it, due to this creative flow and working with these natural cycles. This is also why the house system is important as it allows you to apply an extra layer of fine tuning to get what you want. This can exist in transits too as the houses shift and cycle through the day every day, which is part of why divine timing can in fact be a thing. It’s not just about waiting for the right time but it can also be allowing yourself to see the path come through in a creative way that you otherwise would not have seen if what you want needs to come right now.   

  

Before you incarnated here you made a choice in choosing the character you are playing right now in this game of life. In order to play that character you needed to come at a time when the natural cycles were conducive to creating that, hence your birth chat. Now, this can also mean that you might not actually have a purpose for some parts of your chart, or they could mean something completely different than what you think because you were using that energy creatively in creating the person you wanted to become and play in this lifetime and to have the experiences you wanted to experience.   

  

This is why I do astrology intuitively and get guidance via my own higher self. My higher self is able to guide me with why certain cycles were chosen and also what parts of the chart may not even be used by the person it belongs to because they were using the timing for other things. This is also why I am guided to not do simple sun sign astrology as for some people their sun is irrelevant or may not be as prominent as they think or they need to take into account the house, ruler and aspects as those play a larger role than the sign itself. This is something that cannot be oversimplified. Astrology is a complex form of math and geometry representing the natural cycles. It’s how we use those cycles that matter and how we create and navigate within them and how they can help shape our experiences. But it is also how we ourselves can creatively use these cycles to shape and create our own experiences and take control in unique and creative ways to create the life that we want no matter what is happening in the sky.
