Understand Astrology’s Role in Your Life – Day 0
This kind of parallel carries through in all of the characteristics of a personality. When you know someone’s chart, you have a better shot at communicating harmoniously and cooperatively. You’ll approach him more from his perspective and not automatically impose your agenda, methods, goals and frame of reference on him.
Astrology can also give insight into how you and another person relate. Comparing your planetary positions shows what areas of life each of you activates for the other. It reveals how each of you attracts, energizes, inspires and irritates the other and gives the outlook for growth and longevity. If the birth times of both people are known, you can also create a chart of the relationship, which gives the basic purpose, dynamics and impulses of the union that exists between the two of you.
Planning and Decision-Making
Astrology also has a well-stocked tool box for planning and decision-making. Some involve working with a natal chart. Others cast a chart to choose the for an event or to answer a question.
Working with a Birth Chart. Remember the discussion at the top about astrological weather forecasts? That same information can be applied to a birth chart. You can compare the current planetary positions (called transits) to the natal chart. Wherever the current positions fall in the natal chart, areas of life are being activated. The relationships between transiting planets and natal planets (called aspects) describe energies that are currently at work. They may indicate specific situations or relationships, helpful people, windows of opportunity, impulses awakening in you, obstacles, delays or challenges. Transits have a life span, building, peaking and then receding. Knowing this gives a general time frames for the issues related to them.
