ASTROLOGICAL JOURNEY

"Karmic Astrology allows me to serve as your soul translator.  It gives me the information to speak to my clients in the language of their Soul and to remind them about their soul has created for them. Karmic Astrology is a symbolic language which cultivates a deeper understanding of the connection between the inner and outer worlds – nature and  heaven, as above, so below. It is about make informed and expanded choices on the assumption that our soul is the primary force behind us forging our destiny.” Linda Brady, "Discovering Your Soul Mission”

 

When people come to me for an astrological session, they usually want answers to their poignant life questions: Should I change my career? Why can’t I find the right relationship? Why am I always unhappy? It doesn’t take me long to help them realize that the fundamental reason they have sought my help is to discover their soul’s direction and to find ways to align their personality with it to create harmony in their loves.

 

I invite you to take an astrology journey with me to explore your chart and to see the wonders of how your soul has created your life experiences for your growth and happiness.  

Step 1 of our Journey
Introduction

Our astrological chart is divided into 12 segments called Houses. Each House has a relationship to one of the 12 astrological signs or constellations. It is a living example of the old truism: "As above, so below." An analogy to help you understand the relationship between the 12 constellations and their attendant Houses: Think of 12 Houses in a neighborhood situated on a circle. Each of the Houses has a skylight, through which the energy of one constellation from above shines through. For example, the energy of Aries would shine through the skylight in the first House, the energy of Taurus would shine through the skylight in the second House, the energy of Gemini would shine into the third House, etc. Each of the 12 Houses is ruled by a related energy from a sign.

Meditation

Image yourself as a soul sitting in a garden on the other side with a view of the earth. You aregetting ready to return to the earth for another physical incarnation. You are preparing your astrological chart that will serve as a guide and a script throughout your life. With this in mind you know that the earth is a reflection of the sky and that each constellation has its image on the earth. The earth is a grid that is divided into twelve equal segments, called Houses, each one reflecting an astrological sign. This grid will become the earthly base of your astrological chart. "As above, so below." Your soul will choose the right time, date and place of birth to create your "perfect" astrological chart. When you are ready, say good-bye to your heavenly friends and teachers. Imagine yourself being born into the physical world. You have the ability to see a huge circle around you. This is your astrological chart and you are at its center. Each House is there to provide you with all of the questions that your soul wants you to answer. It is your soul's guidebook. Welcome to the journey of a lifetime.

When you are born, you symbolically enter the first House of your astrological chart and begin your personal earthly journey. This position is called the Rising Sign or Ascendant. Because of the rotation of the earth each astrological sign moves through the twelve Houses once a day. The astrological sign that is on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth is the Ascendant or Rising Sign and your personal ruler of the first House. Moving counter clockwise the second House will be ruled by the sign naturally following the sign on the first. So if you have Aquarius rising the second House will be ruled by Pisces and around the wheel through the twelfth. The sign on each House is called the Cusp Sign. The cusp is the gateway into each Househouse corresponds to the sign of Aries. An issue of Aries and the first house is the essence of Self.  An important question therefore could be "How does my soul wish me to aspire to be the best Self I can be?" For instance: I have Sagittarius on my 10th house. A 10th House question is: "What career would my soul wish for me to pursue?" The answer would come from Sagittarius words, such as being a teacher, a philosopher and a traveler. (Which, of course, I am!)

 

Take a question from each of the Houses and answer it with the sign that is on the cusp of that House. You now have 12 answers to 12 significant questions! Now I am sure that you want to know more, so we will move on to planets.

Step 2 of our Journey

Explanations of the Signs

There are twelve astrological signs in our universe. Each sign has traits, characteristics, energies, colors, emotions, drives, relationships and beliefs. Each sign will appear on the doorway to a House (that we call cusps). They answer the questions that you have for that particular House. Each chart will have different signs on the houses based on your date, time and place of birth. You have your questions, now you want to answer them. To do that you will need to understand the astrological signs

There are 12 Constellations in our Solar System. We also refer to them as signs of the Zodiac. The signs are divisions of the ecliptic or the journey of the Sun around the earth. (This is more symbolic than actual, since the Earth orbits around the Sun.) The signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each astrological sign has a corresponding glyph.

The Houses ask the questions, the astrological sign on the cusp of the House answers them. Each sign will appear on the doorway to a House (cusps). They answer the questions that you have for that particular House. Each chart will have different signs on the houses based on your date, time and place of birth.

 

Take a question from each of the Houses and answer it with the sign that is on the cusp of that House. For example, one of the issues of the 10th House is career.  A question could be 'What career would be best for me?" Find the sign on the cusp of the 10th and find the answer.. You will have 12 answers to 12 significant questions!

A 10th House question is: "What career does my soul want me to pursue?" The answer would come from Sagittarius on the cusp. Sagittariuus words are teacher, philosopher and traveler. Since I have a planet in that house (Venus in Sagittarius in the 10th House), I can add more information to my original statement. Because Venus is there asking the question: "What do I love?" it is important for me to love my career as a teacher, philosopher and traveler.

 

Planet in Signs: 

 

Each planet lives in an astrological sign that shows the energy of how that planet manifests itself.  Most of us know our Sun Sign.  The Sun is placed in one of 12 signs and expresses its energy through them.  If the Sun was moving through the constellation of Aries, we can say that the ego (Sun) is manifested through assertion, action and physical vitality (Aries).  The chart provides you with sample analysis of Planets in Signs.
