Astro-Nicity by Lulublue

I added a new link to my favorites on the right which should take you to a chart for the day's planets. You can click on a planet's glyph to receive text information, too. The text would be general over-all daily influences or energy 'weather'. How the planets relate to your individual birth chart would tell how the placements affect you personally or your environment.

In trying to understand 'how things work', I've read and studied quite a bit. Basically, I believe we are not just a physical body; we also have a mental body, emotional body, and spiritual body. Either by synchronicity or physics of emanations, or some other method which is difficult to put into words much less know a reader comprehends, our lives can be touched in any or all of our 4 bodies. This is really simplified although somewhat esoteric or hidden knowledge but it has come down through the ages from the ancient wisdom sources.

Tuning forks are a good symbolic analogy. The emanations are moving through the universe and if we are attuned to receive a particular one, we pick it up. People who are attuned to Mars, or have a strong Mars in their chart, will often show flashes of impulse, physical activity, passion, possibly anger. But it isn't an excuse! We are also shaped by our environment and upbringing. We also have been taught, by families and society, to behave in a civilized manner. There's no excuse for road rage or aggression! Unfortunately drugs or alcohol act like amplifiers for some and the reaction is completely out of proportion or brutal.

I am sorry that I used Mars (maybe because Mars is aspecting or setting off 4 of my natal chart planets today!?). Venus would have been much more pleasant. Attraction, love, compassion, and sensitivity to beauty would take the spotlight with Venusian influences (usually called 'transits' when forecasting). Venus Gone Wild turns to over-indulgence or laziness. Sun overdone turns into pride and arrogance. It's like taking a good thing too far.

That brings up 'good signs and bad signs'. There aren't any. Aries is Aries. There is a brave Aries or a rash Aries. Same for all of the signs and planets. In one who recognizes what is going on within, the influence can be harnessed and aimed for productive output. When you feel restless (because of that Mars) you are in good shape for heavy exercise and it will help get you back in balance so you're not feeling like a caged animal pacing the floor!

Last thing, some are against astrology because it is worshipping the creation instead of the Creator. I believe it allows us to hear the Creator in a unique language. The Creator of this grand universe with it's clues and hints which make us work a bit before arriving at the message, is always the Creator. When we read a note from someone, we relate to the writer not the piece of paper upon which the note was written.

Blessings...
