How much do you know about astrology? Is it limited to you checking your horoscope everyday in your local newspaper? Or do you delve into the meanings of your sun and rising signs, house placements and elemental characteristics? No matter what level you're on it doesn't hurt to get down to the basics and understand more about the meaning of astrology, as well as take a look at the definitions of the 12 sun signs of the zodiac. So if you want to know more about astrology, I encourage you to read on!
What is Astrology?
Astrology is defined as "the study of correlations of celestial events with behavior on earth, particularly correlations which cannot be explained by gravitation, magnetism, or other forces that are well-established in physics or other sciences." In other words, astrology looks at the planets (including the Sun and Moon, and excluding Earth) and their positions in relation to each other and Earth to determine the behavioral tendencies of the people and events of this planet.
Some people believe that the very essence of who we are and what we are inclined to do in life have already been predetermined by the specific alignment of the planets at the specific time, date and location of our births. Even more, specific generations born under certain planetary alignments may have a tendency to collectively act in accordance with a pre-determined guideline. Astrology is said to have a huge influence on humankind and is only able to be overridden by our free wills, but this is not easy as we are born with certain influences. To understand more about how we are affected by planetary alignment, let's look at the 12 sun signs of the zodiac.
The Next Six of the 12 Sun Signs
Libra (September 23 - October 22) is another self-starting sign. They love to begin projects and enjoy the feeling of interacting with others. This sign is represented by a scale, which means that they belief in fairness and justice (making sure everything balances out) and they will stand up for it. Libras are pretty smart cookies and they know it (and they often want to make sure you know it). But that's okay; often times they are right, so let them have that glory. They will love you for it and invite you in for great times and friendship.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) has a pretty bad reputation among the 12 sun signs. Most people believe two things about Scorpios: they are sexual, and they are vengeful. Both are normally true. But what most people don't know about these stingers is that they have a deeply emotional side that yearns for love. They are so emotional that they fear showing it to others, which is why most keep a cold demeanor - only the most deserving can be let in (and Scorpios have already done a thorough check before opening the door). Anyone who truly knows a Scorpio understands that they are dealing with a deeply intense and complicated person, but if they can get passed this, they know they have a truly loyal friend for life.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) is another fiery personality, but you don't see it much unless it is provoked. Their concerns tend to expand beyond the trivial person-to-person relationship and look more at their relationship to the world as a whole. They want to know how to make changes that will affect others and work persistently to make things happen. They are extremely talented and wise, and love their freedom. When the things they want are compromised then this is when the fire can unleash, and trust me, it is not pretty.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) is one of the very determined and focused sun signs and is in love with "making things right" in the world. You'll find that Capricorns work very hard - or even volunteer often - but they always play hard also. They enjoy a well-rounded life with loved ones and take their responsibilities very seriously. If you're dealing with a Capricorn, you can guarantee all I's are dotted and T's are crossed because their goal is to reach the pride of accomplishment - and they intend to succeed.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) one of the free-thinking sun signs; they're always open to new ideas and are often creating some on their own. They are often leaders of a pack and can carry a group mentality as long as they make the rules of the group. Sometimes they are emotionally detached from others because they have "things" to do - there can't always be room for things and people. But when they resurface from the things they're doing, you'll find they've made a change so significant that you're grateful that they disappeared for a while.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) is another one of the sensitive sun signs and is often revered for its compassionate side. They love to see people join together as one - especially if they are a part of the group. Sometimes, because of their emotional nature, they can become co-dependent, relying too much on a significant other or loved one - or sometimes even drugs or alcohol. But what they're looking for is love to pacify their complex nature, so it doesn't hurt to give them that.
Learning about the incredible nature of sun signs is always beneficial because it can answer nagging questions about the personality of someone who is emotionally untouchable - and it can even help you learn more about yourself. If you are truly interested in learning more about astrology, I suggest you reference the many Edgar Cayce books available on the topic, in addition to other astrologers who specialize in sun signs and astrological charts. You might find yourself entering into a new and exciting realm of self discovery.
