Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Astrology is an ancient science that uses observation of the planetary cycles and movements over time to record patterns and events triggered by the movement of the cosmos. It is often said to be based on calendrical systems, but I would suggest that calendrical systems are based on the movement of the cosmic bodies.
#2 The history of astrology can be traced back to the Sumerians in Mesopotamia 6,000 years ago, who noted the movements of the cosmos. From around 2,400 to 331 BCE, the Babylonians, also known as the Chaldeans, created the zodiac wheel with planets.
#3 Modern western astrology is focused on the psychological and humanistic side, though there is a resurgence in some more ancient and predictive techniques, especially among younger astrologers. The gender assignments of planets and signs are problematic in the modern world.
#4 Astrology has been popular among leaders, rulers, and famous people for centuries. It has been used to predict the timing of coronations and important decisions.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Astrology is an ancient science that uses observation of the planetary cycles and movements over time to record patterns and events triggered by the movement of the cosmos. It is often said to be based on calendrical systems, but I would suggest that calendrical systems are based on the movement of the cosmic bodies.

#2

The history of astrology can be traced back to the Sumerians in Mesopotamia 6,000 years ago, who noted the movements of the cosmos. From around 2,400 to 331 BCE, the Babylonians, also known as the Chaldeans, created the zodiac wheel with planets.

#3

Modern western astrology is focused on the psychological and humanistic side, though there is a resurgence in some more ancient and predictive techniques, especially among younger astrologers. The gender assignments of planets and signs are problematic in the modern world.

#4

Astrology has been popular among leaders, rulers, and famous people for centuries. It has been used to predict the timing of coronations and important decisions.

#5

The four elements are fire, earth, air, and water, and they represent archetypal characteristics within a person. The four elements are further divided into the three modalities as follows: Aries is cardinal fire, Taurus is fixed earth, Gemini is mutable air, and Cancer is cardinal water.

#6

The first of the three modalities is the cardinal modality, which is associated with the four signs that begin each quadrant of the natural zodiac: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. Cardinal signs like to begin new projects.

#7

The second of the three modalities is the fixed modality, which is associated with the four signs that are in the middle of each quadrant of the natural zodiac: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius.

#8

The third modality is the mutable modality, which is associated with the four signs that end each quadrant of the natural zodiac and that lead into the beginning of the next: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

#9

The four elements and the four signs of the cardinal modality have been used in shamanic cultures for millennia as the medicine wheel, which represents the four cardinal directions called in ceremony and the beginning of the seasons.

#10

Fire is the energy of transformation and action. It is day energy, and it is positive, inspirational, enthusiastic, and confident. It is more associated with the signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, which are more outgoing and expansive.

#11

Water is the energy of receptivity and emotion. It is a night energy. It makes up a large percentage of the human body and is the most crucial element. Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are the three water signs.

#12

Air is the energy of the mind or thought, and it is a day energy. It is the breath and the wind. We can't hold on to air; it flows in and out, and wind is needed to stop the air around us from becoming stagnant.

#13

Earth signs are the most connected with the material world and the Earth itself. They are practical, patient, and hardworking, and they are also connected to the human cycle of birth, life, and death.

#14

The 12 sun signs are the parts of the self that everyone knows and the primary energy that fuels our being. They are the part of us that almost everyone can identify with.

#15

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is known for being dynamic, pioneering, and leaders of others. Inwardly, they have a healthy self-interest and are very courageous.

#16

The second sign of the zodiac is Taurus. Taurus is a night fixed earth sign and is ruled by Venus in her material world incarnation as goddess of the manifest. Like Aries, this sign is represented by a horned animal, the bull.

#17

Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac. It is ruled by Mercury, and it represents the stage of life when we begin to communicate verbally and realize our connection to and our separation from each other.

#18

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac. It is represented by the crab and its glyph is the two pincers of the crab in protective mode. Cancers are primarily introverted and protective. The polarity to Cancer is the earth sign of Capricorn.

#19

Astrological forecasts that appear online and in magazines and newspapers are the analysis of the chart for each sign as a whole. They are general in nature, and they do have validity if you know your rising sign and can read the forecast for that sign as well as the sun sign.
