Astrology Level 1 - Week 1 Sydney Astrology School ASTROLOGY LEVEL 1 - WEEK 1 1) THE BUILDING BLOCKS There are 3 major components that make up the foundation of ASTROLOGY They are the PLANETS, SIGNS and HOUSES a) The PLANETS The SUN is a star and the MOON is the earth’s satellite but as far as Astrology is concerned they are called ‘planets’ and band together with another 8 that orbit the Sun. These 10 Planets are: Sun N Moon M Mercury O Venus P Mars Q Jupiter R Saturn S Uranus T Neptune U Pluto V b) THE SIGNS The signs are twelve 30 degree areas of space that form an immovable circular band around the earth. (12 x 30 degrees = 360 degrees) They occur in an astrological order that always remains the same. The astrological order begins with Aries and ends with Pisces as follows: Aries A Taurus B Gemini C Cancer D Leo E Virgo F Libra G Scorpio H Sagittarius I Capricorn J Aquarius K Pisces L c) THE HOUSES The HOUSES are sections of the sky as seen from the earth’s perspective. There are 12 HOUSES simply named the 1st HOUSE to the 12th HOUSE 1 Sydney Astrology School The houses are subject to a specific location on earth and are aligned with the HORIZON and the MERIDAN (the highest and lowest points). Due to this fact the houses can vary in their size, but there will always be 12. It is important to note that the signs always occupy exactly 30 degrees of space, while the houses will occupy a different number of degrees depending on the birth location. It is like a pie cut through the centre from edge to edge 6 times creating 12 unequal pieces. The opposite piece of pie however will always be of equal size. 2) THE ECLIPTIC Astrology is GEOCENTRIC. This means the solar system is viewed from the earth’s perspective. This being the case, from the earth it seems as if all the planets including the SUN are revolving around us. A great split with astronomy occurred in the 16th Century when it was discovered that all the planets revolved around the Sun and not the Earth as previously assumed. It was at this time that Astrology was discredited by the scientific community as being based on a false assumption. This notion that Astrology is unscientific is of course still alive today in the Scientific/Western community. Astrologers explain this by the fact that we are dealing with vibration, and our understanding of how energy affects us and our planet is from our own earth bound perspective. The ECLIPTIC is the path that the SUN makes during its ‘apparent’ trip around the earth. It rotates around the earth like a diagonal headband. As the SUN rotates around the EARTH on this ecliptic path it will cut the EARTH’S EQUATOR at two points on opposite sides of the EARTH. These two points mark the EQUINOXES, either the beginnings of Spring or Autumn for each hemisphere. The diagram on the next page shows the 2 equinox points that are indicated by the signs Aries and Libra. The point where The SUN reaches its highest and lowest points of latitude, which is 23.4 degrees away from the equator, marks the SOLSTICES. This is the beginning of Summer or Winter for each hemisphere. 2 Sydney Astrology School On the diagram below the 2 solstices are indicated by signs Cancer and Capricorn. Western Astrology is called ‘Tropical Astrology.’ This means that the signs of the zodiac are aligned with the earth’s four seasons. The Tropic of Cancer is the northernmost latitude at which the Sun can appear directly overhead at noon. This event occurs at the June solstice, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the SUN to its maximum extent. The Tropic of Cancer lies 23 degrees north of the equator. North of this latitude are the Subtropics and Northern Temperate Zone. The equivalent line of latitude south of the equator is called the Tropic of Capricorn, which runs through Rockhampton in Queensland. The region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, centred on the equator, is known as the Tropics. The word "tropic" itself comes from the Greek tropos, meaning turn, referring to the fact that the Sun appears to "turn back" at the solstices. 3 Sydney Astrology School The SUN enters the sign of ARIES as it crosses the EQUATOR into the Northern Hemisphere on approximately March 21st each year. As the Sun progresses northbound it enters TAURUS on approx APRIL 21st and then GEMINI on approx May 21st until it reaches its highest point of latitude when it enters CANCER on approx June 22nd. The Suns path now begins to descend entering both LEO and VIRGO until it reaches the equator again and enters LIBRA on approx Sept 23rd. The SUN now begins its descent into the southern hemisphere. The Sun heads south bound through SCORPIO and SAGITTARIUS until it reaches its lowest point of latitude and begins its ascension entering Capricorn on approx Dec 21st. The Sun then completes its cycle heading north through AQUARIUS and PISCES then reaches the equator again to re enter ARIES to begin the cycle anew. 4 Sydney Astrology School THE ZODIAC BELT The Zodiac itself is a belt in space, extending out 8 degrees either side of the Ecliptic. Around this 360 degree circular belt lie the 12 signs each sign occupying 30 degrees of space. 12 x 30 = 360. This is the ZODIAC BELT. So, the Ecliptic is the apparent yearly path of the Sun around the Earth against the backdrop of the stars which are relatively fixed in space. The Zodiac belt extending out 8 degrees either side of the Ecliptic is like a super highway where the Moon and all the other planets in our solar system appear to move around the Earth. All the planets move in the same direction, and all the planets are roughly on the same plane, so the whole solar system is like a flat dish or belt. The word Zodiac is from the Greek word Zodion, which roughly translates to ‘Circle of Life’, which enforces the idea that we are surrounded by living energies. The diagram above takes a wider perspective of our solar system, and you can see how the 12 signs surround us. The Earth moves approximately one degree around our Sun centred circular path per day. From our perspective on Earth, it appears as if the Sun is moving through a particular zodiac sign by one degree every day or through one 30 degree sign of the zodiac every month. 3) THE ANGLES OF A BIRTH CHART The astrological chart consists of four major points called the ANGLES cutting the circle into quarters horizontally and vertically. These lines are the HORIZON and MERIDIAN. 5 Sydney Astrology School The left hand side of the horizontal line is the ASCENDENT. This represents the area of sky rising in the east. The right hand side is the DESCENDENT the area of sky setting over the west. The point at the top the chart is the MIDHEAVEN or MC (Medium Coeli) representing an area of sky directly above the specific location. The point at the base of the chart is the NADIR or IC (Imum Coeli). This point represents the area of sky directly below the specific location. The ANGLES correspond with the cusps of the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses. ASCENDANT = 1st House Cusp 10 IC = 4th House Cusp DESCENDANT = 7TH House 1 7 Cusp MC = 10th House Cusp 4 THE ASCENDANT The earth spins on its own axis taking 24 hours (1 day) to spin a complete revolution. As we spin on the EARTH, all the planets seem to circle us. This is noticeable on a daily basis with the SUN rising in the east in the morning and setting in the west in the evening. Just like the SUN, even though we can’t always see the other planets, they also appear to move around the EARTH. The SIGNS do the same. The sign of GEMINI may be coming over the horizon at 6am but by midday GEMINI is directly above us. It is this rotation of the earth on its axis which determines which backdrop will be located on the Ascendant when we are born. The sign coming over the eastern horizon (or rising) at the moment you were born is your ASCENDANT or RISING SIGN. The ASCENDANT sign changes roughly every 2 hours (depending on location). This is because the backdrop of the EARTH’S sky changes once every day as it rotates on its axis. (2 hours x 12 signs = 24 hours). This is why the birth time is so important. The Ascendant therefore, essentially dictates into which area of the chart (or house) the planets will fall. 6 Sydney Astrology School eg. At 6am a child born may have Gemini rising but 2 hours later the earth has spun and another child born at 8am would more than likely have the next sign rising which would be Cancer. Some Astrologers use this information for good birth times. It also explains how two babies born on the same day, in the same place, but at different times may have their planets located in very different areas of the chart and therefore focus their energies in very different ways to each other. THE ANGLES The ANGLES are the 4 points on the chart at either side of the horizon and meridian that cut the chart from east to west and top to bottom.

  • A Mini-Course in Astrology Deciphering Your Horoscope Wheel
    A Mini-Course in Astrology If you want to know more about astrology, here is a brief outline of how horoscopes work, concise meanings of each part of the horoscope and, scattered throughout, tips on how to put these parts together. Deciphering Your Horoscope Wheel The horoscope wheel is a complete, accurately calculated chart such as a professional astrologer would draw up. This wheel is actually a diagram showing how the planets and signs were arranged around you at the moment of your birth. Think of yourself, just being born, as being at the center. The two horizontal spokes are the horizon of the place where you were born. Above this line are the planets that were up in the sky. Below it are the planets that were hidden below the horizon. The sky is shown as if you were facing south. As the Earth turns on its axis each day, the Sun would rise to your left in the east, culminate or reach its highest point around noon, set to your right, and anticulminate or reach its lowest point about midnight before rising the next day. Were you born during the day or at night? If you look at your own horoscope wheel, you should see your Sun (q) either above or below the horizon, reflecting the time of day when you were born. The diagram above shows approximately where the Sun would be at various times during a 24-hour period. The planets, too, make this entire trip clockwise around the horoscope wheel each day, but each rises and sets at a different time.

  • The Archaeology of the Astrological Houses - Brian Clark
    Student Notes The Archaeology of the Astrological Houses - Brian Clark Space, Place, Gods & Houses The horoscope orientates us to the space that surrounds us through its twelve divisions we call the houses, once known as places. The allotment of the houses is a form of spatial analysis that helps us to conceptualize personal places in the world that enfolds us. Houses give meaning to the spaces we inhabit; they are like ecosystem of the Self, outlining the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual topography of our surroundings and atmosphere. When houses are considered astrologically, a map is conceived for the spaces that we occupy - a personal atlas that helps orientate ourselves to our natural environment. Like any spatial analysis the horoscope respects the enduring reverence for the four fixed directions which, in the earliest of times, were always essential for astrological interpretations. Astrologically these four directions have developed into the four angles of the horoscope: the rising place (The Ascendant), the place of culmination (the Midheaven), the setting place (The Descendant) and the lower sky (the IC). When the Ascendant was brought into astrological practice, it marked the rising place where the stars and planets first appeared. It also became the seminal reference point from which to establish other places in the horoscope. The eastern horizon, as a metaphor for the place where light first appears, grows into the symbol for the emergence of life, vitality, what is seen, appearance, how light is projected out. As an image of appearance and first contact with life, it became associated with disposition and personality.

  • Jung on Astrology
    Jung on Astrology Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jung’s thoughts on astrology in a single volume for the fi rst time, signifi cantly adding to our understanding of his work. Jung’s Collected Works , seminars, and letters contain numerous discussions of this ancient divinatory system, and Jung himself used astrological horoscopes as a diagnostic tool in his analytic practice. Understood in terms of his own psychology as a symbolic representation of the archetypes of the collective unconscious, Jung found in astrology a wealth of spiritual and psychological meaning and suggested it represents the “sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.” The selections and editorial introductions by Safron Rossi and Keiron Le Grice address topics that were of critical importance to Jung – such as the archetypal symbolism in astrology, the precession of the equinoxes and astrological ages, astrology as a form of synchronicity and acausal correspondence, the qualitative nature of time, and the experience of astrological fate – allowing readers to assess astrology’s place within the larger corpus of Jung’s work and its value as a source of symbolic meaning for our time. The book will be of great interest to analytical psychologists, Jungian psy- chotherapists, and academics and students of depth psychology and Jungian and post-Jungian studies, as well as to astrologers and therapists of other orientations, especially transpersonal. Safron Rossi, PhD, is a Professor of mythology and depth psychology in the Jungian and Archetypal Studies specialization at Pacifi ca Graduate Institute, Cali- fornia. For many years she was curator of the Joseph Campbell and James Hillman manuscript collections.

Your relocated chart is a horoscope cast for a different location to your place of birth. The zodiacal positions of the planets remain the same as in your natal chart, but their positions in the houses change. In days past, most people tended to remain close to where they were born. This is not the case today; transcontinental and international travel is commonplace. The purpose of a relocated natal chart is to reveal the influences you are likely to experience in different locations. The interpretations in the report can show you what to expect from the new location. It is an invaluable tool for planning holiday or business trips and can be very useful when considering setting up home somewhere else. As well as interpreting the planets in the houses, your relocation report also incorporates the Astro-Locality-Map (ALM) based on Astro*Carto*Graphy (R) (A*C*G) popularized by Jim Lewis, and Direction Lines based on the Local Space Astrology (R) (LS) method developed by Michael Erlewine.

To put it all briefly, the three systems of symbols answer the questions what, how, why and where. Use the sign to determine exactly what that planet wants and what method it might best use to achieve those goals – the why and the how. Finally, look at the house. It answers the where, telling us in precisely which department of life the actions are taking place. w w w . m i i s t i c o . c o m THE SIGNS The quality of a planet remains constant but is expressed in different ways according to the sign through which it passes.

The report has evolved from a technique called astro-mapping, which overlays your chart on a map of the world using various methods. This overlay means that certain planets will be stronger in particular geographical areas. Through interpreting these planetary energies we can have an astrological map that tells us the best place to apply for promotions, to go on holidays, to meet lovers, and to live more fulfilled lives in the areas that are important to us. The different lines listed in this report include Planet/Angle , Planet Direction and Paran lines. Planet/Angle Lines describe where on the Earth individual planets or stars are culminating or anticulminating (or on the Midheaven and Imum Coeli) or are rising or setting (or on the Ascendant or Descendant). The Culminate/Anticulminate and MC/IC lines are always lines of longitude, whereas the rising/setting and Asc/Dsc lines are great circles around the globe and appear to curve on a map viewed in Cartesian or Mercator projection. Planet Direction or Local Space Lines indicate the direction in which planets or stars are found when looking from the chart's location. These lines are great circles around the globe, starting from the chart's location. The common convention is to continue the line right around the world, back to the starting location.

  • Fundamentals of Archetypal Astrology Based on the Classes and Writings of Richard Tarnas
    Fundamentals of Archetypal Astrology Based on the classes and writings of Richard Tarnas Prepared by Jessica Garfield-Kabbara ♦ The Fundamentals of Archetypal Astrology guide sets out one way to learn the archetypal astrological perspective by developing the technical language of the three forms of correspondence—the natal chart, world transits, and personal transits. The astrological perspective can provide a tremendous deepening of one’s self-reflective capacities, and when fully understood offers a world view that sees the human being as a center of meaning, intrinsically interconnected and embedded in a highly creative, loving, and intelligent cosmos. As you begin your astrological studies remember to keep it simple. It is easy to get overwhelmed before becoming comfortable with the fundamentals. As with any new language, you must first learn the alphabet, new words, and grammar before writing prose or poetry. As you become well versed in the language of astrology, it will become clearer how to extend your research into further areas that draw your interest. The archetypal principles associated with the ten planets, including the Sun and Moon, reflect the foundational archetypal energies of the human psyche and reality as a whole. ~Blessings to you on your unfolding journey~ 1) Memorize the glyphs of the 10 major celestial bodies • The planets represent the energies of our psyche, they hold the most weight and importance in the natal chart Personal Planets 1 1 2) Memorize the order of the 12 signs of the Zodiac as it moves counterclockwise in a circle. Western astrology uses the Tropical Zodiac, which uses the vernal equinox as the beginning point, and is based upon the movement of the Sun in correlation with the seasons.
