Don’t Fit Your Sun Sign? Check Your Moon Sign!

Filed under General

Why is it that some people do not seem to fit their sun sign personalities? Your sun sign determines your individuality and your uniqueness as others see you. Your moon sign, however, determines how you see yourself, your inner life, and the personality that comes from inside you. If your sun is in Aries and your moon is also in Aries, you will probably have a lot of dead-on Aries personality traits. If your sun is in Aries and your moon is in Pisces, not so much.

The moon travels through the astrological houses just like the sun does, so your moon can be in any of the twelve zodiac signs depending on the date and year of your birth. For example, I was born on March 22, 1953, so my sun sign is Aries, but my moon sign is Cancer. This means that, while I do have some of the ambition and headstrong qualities of the Ram. My personality tends to be more quiet, intuitive, and emotional. The Cancer moon tones down the Aries brashness considerably.

The moon travels through the heavens much more quickly in any given year than the sun, so two people with the same Sun Sign can have completely different moon signs and completely different personalities. To find your own moon sign and what it means, you can go to http://www.findyourfate.com/astrology/moon-astrology/moonsigns.html and plug in your birth date and birth year. This will take you to a chart. Click on the hot link for the day you were born and you will be given a description of the effect of the moon on your personality.

I found my moon sign description to be right on target. Try it and see if it doesn’t explain why you are a bit off your sun sign too!

Real Astrology is Richer Than You Might Think

Filed under General

You’ve probably read your Sun Sign horoscope in the daily newspaper and laughed it off a million times, but did you know that real astrology is much more complex and accurate than that?

A real astrologer will need to know not just the day you were born, but also the time and the geographic location of your birthplace. Then, the astrologer will draw up a chart showing where each planet and constellation was located at the precise moment of your birth.

Having drawn up this chart, a real astrologer will then look for patterns and relationships between the planets that speak to your unique identity as an individual and how the heavens will affect your abilities and your destiny. Real astrology is incredibly complicated and requires skill, intuition, and many years of study. Often real astrologers use computer software to insure their calculations are precise and accurate.

A chart of the heavens at the time of your birth is called a ‘natal chart’, and it yields much more specific information about who you really are than your Sun Sign. The more you learn about real astrology, the less flakey it seems and the more impressed you will be. For thousands of years people have consulted the stars for guidance. Isn’t it possible that in all that time they might well have gotten a few things right?
