BIOGRAPHY:

During the Great Migration of the 1950′s, the Acosta family moved from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami, Florida where they started their real estate business; The Acosta Group. They dominated the Miami market of luxury residential and commercial property, all while raising six children. Once their children were grown, each one assumed an integral role in the company that allowed the business to expand up the East Coast. The eldest, Manny, assumed the role of C.E.O in the 1980′s and fostered the company into the real estate empire that it is today.

Only one thing superseded Manny’s ambition, and that was his faith. The Acosta family were devote Catholics, which is what prompted Manny to marry Amy Wilson just a few months before the couple welcomed their first child into the world. A son they named Michael, after Manny’s father. It was a loveless marriage, but Manny didn’t believe in divorce and Amy had much to gain financially from the arrangement. Their second child was just as much of a surprise as the first, however quickly became her father’s favorite.

Alycia Camila Acosta was born August 2nd, 1991 on the hottest day Miami had seen in a decade. Nicknamed Aly by her brother. No one loved her more. Michael took his role as a big brother seriously. Before Aly could walk he taught her to swim, and she quickly began following in his every foot step. He protected her from feeling unloved in a household where their father always worked, and their mother preferred social clubs to raising children. They took care of one another, and it was obvious that there was no one else more important to either than each other.

While Amy exhausted every effort to live the life she had always dreamed of through her daughter, Aly resisted at every turn. She purposely preformed poorly in pageants, and sang off key in choir. The only thing she indulged Amy on was camp Walt Whitman, an illustrious summer camp in New England, and only because her brother went along too. It was a place she should’ve been grateful to attend, but by eleven Aly only wanted to spend summers in the ocean. She’d learned to surf alongside Michael, and possessed a natural talent and great skill on the board. Even before high school she began competing, and at only sixteen Aly won her first Women's WSL World Tour.

It wasn’t the kind of accolade Amy had in mind for her daughter, but as long as she kept her grades up the Acostas allowed it. Academia was easy for the brunette, even as she attended Miami’s most prestige Catholic schools. She excelled from the start, especially in math, and skipped a grade in middle school. With extra curricular activities and academics Aly kept busy, but it wasn’t her schedule that kept her from dating. Rather, the obscenely strict rules her parents enforced, and while Michael was usually always Aly’s advocate, on this he seemed to agree with them.

The summer before her senior year Aly fell unexpectedly for her long time camp Walt Whitman friend, Nicholas Vanderbilt. His family’s notoriety made him an acceptable candidate for her parent’s exceedingly high expectations, and the twelve hundred miles of distance between Miami and New York City eased their worries about any inappropriate conduct. While Aly truly did love Nick it was incredibly difficult for her to imagine an immediate future with someone so far a way. After making a pact to get married at 40 if they were both still single the pair parted ways before college.

At The University of Miami Aly studied business. It was a well established precedent amongst the Acosta that every member of the family contributed to The Acosta Group, even though for her that just meant a figurehead role. Michael bore the brunt of their parent’s business expectations, and therefor all the responsibility. For which Aly was extremely grateful because her interests were strictly surfing and social. During undergrad Aly won two more Women's WSL World Tours, and was a frequent but casual dater. She struggled to find someone with whom she shared real passion and was starting to wonder if she’d already had her one, epic love until she met him. Bennett Ryan Brody. Aly was falling in love before she even realized what was happening. Head over heels, stupid in love with every six foot and five inches of him. If it wasn’t enough to look and fuck like an actual god he strung words together more brilliant than any symphony she’d ever heard. Maybe it was kismet that, for as hot as their love burned, it all ended in flames.

Eager to put some distance between herself all the heart break that had happened in Miami, Aly accepted Columbia’s invitation to attend grad school in New York. Her MBA was really just a formality, but she loved life in the city. It was strange place, but familiar enough with her long time friend and ex, Nick, also living there. The lines of friendship had always been blurry for them, and their relationship grew even more complicated when Aly and Nick blackout exchanged vows. A divorce was messier than either family wanted, especially with Nick’s budding legal career. So, they agreed to stay married and try to make things work. Which they did, for a little while, but then they both graduated and work got in the way.

Long distance wasn’t unfamiliar to either party, but it certainly wasn’t desired. Aly spent years after grad school opening offices for the Acosta group up and down The Americas, which left them with no other options. She would visit whenever she was close to wherever Nick was working, but it was inevitable that they both began to see other people. Unsurprisingly, Aly couldn’t commit to anything serious. Her list of one night stands longer than she cared to admit because a part of her would always feel guilty. A part of her would always feel like Nick’s.

In the Spring of 2020 Aly’s abuela, the largest shareholder of the Acosta group, passed away. The disbursement of shares and funds created a power shift within the company. Aly inherited a lofty sum that came with a legal reminder of her marriage to Nick and their lack of a prenup. Her older brother Michael assumed more responsibility and influence, which later resulted in his promotion to the Acosta Group’s CEO. With her brother calling all the shots Aly had more control over her life. After opening the D.C. branch of The Acosta Group she requested a permanent position in its office as the regional director for the company’s North Eastern division. The stability comes with proximity to friends and a relationship she’s hoping to figure alongside questions Aly has about herself. Her travels changed her, even if she’s not quite sure how yet.

Aly is written by Ash.

Be Dirty!

Saturday - August 29, 2020

Humans are connected and tied to Mother Earth in marvelous and magical ways. You NEED what she is made of ... air, water and soil. Using these life-giving elements are the best ways to "clean and sanitize" your world on all levels. Today I am going to encourage you to get a little "dirty" in order to play with and understand the astrological energies of this day.

That magnificent 27° trine between Mars in Aries and the Galactic Center in Sagittarius is still active. The Moon is transiting in the middle of the heaviest Earth energy in the chart - Capricorn - enabling you to stabilize your feelings and live without so much drama (that is if you choose to!!). And we still have a number of Earth Trines in the chart. One of those trines features an exact trine between Mercury in Virgo and Jupiter in Capricorn at 17°, encouraging you to be aware of where your ideas and observations are not quite so "grounded."

All of this adds up to a day in which Earth energy is a key element to avail yourself of. And I mean that literally. Put your hands and feet on the Earth - walk on Mother Earth with bare feet if you can. Put your hands in dirt and get them just as dirty as you can. Get it under your fingernails. And if you can just sit or stand there for a bit and let it remove any life-negating energies you are struggling with right now. And then listen to the wisdom and counsel that Mother Earth imparts in that very element - the soil - that not only sustains you but all of Life on this planet.

Energy Update: Mars Direct 11/13/2020

Cosmic heads up that today Mars is stationing direct at 15 degrees Aries. We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief...eventually.

All of the anger, drive, and passion of Mars in Aries has been on pause for over two months. Most planets take some time to ramp back up to full energy after a retrograde but not Mars and DEFINITELY not Mars in its home sign of Aries.

This is going to be a really good weekend to lie low. Avoid anything that could lead to accidents or arguments. Especially if you or someone you love or live with is an Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn between 10-20 degrees. Expect some fireworks and take some steps so that someone doesn't blow their hand off.

On the plus side - if you've been feeling sluggish and unmotivated, you can definitely use this Mars energy this weekend to move your body or get that project done. Do that physical thing and avoid that person who you know is going to tick you off.

Beware of fights that were brewing in July, August, or September that may have "disappeared" with the retrograde - Mars is about to walk right back over those tender bits on its way forward through its post-shadow. It's going to make squares with Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn in that order - expect some bit Marsian blowouts through the rest of this year as the planet of War finally makes his way into Taurus on January 6th of 2021.

It is a part of the cycle and working as intended (all that shit that's still holding on past its prime needs to leave somehow) but it may not be fun while it's happening. Remember to stay in action rather than reaction as this energy blows through.

Also of note: expect things to heat up as Mars squares off with our heavy hitters in Capricorn! We've been studying astrology for thousands of years and there is a notable effect to strong Mars energy - it literally heats up the planet! And it can heat up, you, too! If you are a late (22-29 degrees or so) Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn - watch out for unexpected fevers or hot flashes as Mars crashes across your chart. It may bring some anxiety/emotional dysregulation along with the physical heat - most likely if you're avoiding the big shake-ups from this year.

With Mars in Aries squaring off the heavy-hitters in Capricorn for the rest of this year - beware of the eternal conflict between the individual (there is nothing so selfish as an Aries - I should know, I have an Aries moon) versus "The Establishment". Don't be the establishment in your own life right now - this really reiterates the message from my last post about those Aquarian feels - give those you care about a LOT of space to be themselves as we round out this year if you want to keep them around for the long haul.

Do like my work? Please consider supporting me by Buying Me A Ko-Fi.

Spitalfieldslife blog post 2020-04-29. By the Gentle Author.

It is my pleasure to publish this profile of the famous herbalist of Spitalfields by Patricia Cleveland-Peck, gardener and writer.

Of all Spitalfields’ past residents, one name stands out above others – Nicholas Culpeper, born on October 18th 1616, a herbalist and medical practitioner operating from Red Lion St (now Commercial St) who devoted his life to healing, and especially to healing the poor.

While apprenticed to the apothecary Francis Drake of Bishopsgate, Nicholas accompanied Thomas Johnson (later editor of the 1633 edition of Gerard’s Herball) on plant hunting excursions. He loved herbs since boyhood and became expert at their identification, essential in those days when almost all ailments were treated with plants. Herbals served as handbooks for doctors in which each plant was named together with its ‘virtues’ or uses. Nicholas’ skill in this subject, coupled with the fact that he was very caring, meant that the people of Spitalfields flocked to him – sometimes as many as forty a morning – and they commonly received treatment for little or no payment.

This was not popular among Nicholas Culpeper’s qualified medical colleagues who were infuriated by his view that, “no man deserved to starve to pay an insulting, insolent physician.” He also believed in “English herbs for English bodies,” and went out gathering his own herbs from the countryside for free which did not endear him to the apothecaries who often insisted on expensive imported exotic plants for their ‘cures’.

In those days, there were strict divisions between what university-educated physicians, apothecaries and barber-surgeons (who drew teeth and let blood) were allowed to do. Physicians were expensive, so for most sick people the first port of call would be their own herb garden or still room, the second the ‘wise woman’ down the road, the third a visit to the apothecary – after which, for many, there was no other option but to let the illness run its course.

In 1649, Nicholas inflamed the establishment by producing an English translation of their latin ‘bible’ the Pharmacopoeia Londinensis which included all the recipes for their medicines. Published as A Physical Directory, it not only revealed the secret ingredients but gave instructions on how to administer them – one of his most important contributions, as it provided the first effective self-help book to which people could turn.

Even more galling for the medical fraternity was the fact Nicholas had never completed his apprenticeship, and chose Spitalfields to set up a semi-legal practice because it was outside the City of London and thus not governed by the rules of the College of Physicians. Spitalfields in those days was quite different from today, beyond the site of huge priory of St Mary Spital stretched the farmland of Spital Field. The priory had been dissolved under Henry VIII although parts of the precincts were still inhabited, and it was an area which attracted outsiders like Nicholas who, as well as treating his patients, was something of a political radical. In his pamphlets, he railed against the king, priests and lawyers as well as physicians. Consequently he was no stranger to controversy and at one point was even accused of witchcraft – just one of the many troubles which accumulated to beset him during his life.

The first of these even occurred thirteen days before his life began, for it was then that his father died leaving his mother without support. She and the new-born Nicholas were obliged to return to the protection of her father, William Attersole, vicar of the little village of Isfield in Sussex. Attersole was not happy about this arrangement but, although he did not welcome the child, he did see it as his religious duty to provide instruction for him as he grew. Young Nicholas learned the scriptures and the classics, he studied mathematics and, under his grandfather’s guidance, began to take an interest in astrology which later featured in his own works. He even stole a book on anatomy out of the library (where he was only supposed to read the bible) and read it in a barn.

Importantly, he also spent a lot of time with his mother who we know owned a copy of Gerard’s Herball. She was responsible for the health of the household and, from his later works, we can glean the fact that he soon became familiar with all the local Sussex ‘simples’ or wild herbs. We know only little of this period of his life, but it is thought that he went to school in Lewes before – at the age of sixteen – setting off for Cambridge ostensibly to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps by studying theology. Once there, he began to attended lectures on anatomy and, perhaps frustrated that he couldn’t change to medicine, he spent most of his time smoking, drinking and socialising in taverns.

Yet the reason for his dropping out is a sad one. Young though he was, before leaving Sussex, Nicholas had fallen in love with Judith Rivers, a local heiress. She reciprocated his love and thus, knowing her family would never consent to the relationship, they planned to elope. They were to meet near Lewes and marry secretly, but on the way Judith’s coach was struck by lightning and she was killed. Nicholas was devastated and spent months sunk in melancholy. There was no question of his returning to Cambridge to study medicine or anything else. Eventually he chose to come to London and become an apothecary. Socially, this was a step down but he enjoyed his time at Bishopsgate and became very proficient.

Nicholas was twenty-four when he found love again. Called to treat a Mr Field for gouty arthritis, his eyes fell upon the fifteen-year-old daughter of the house, Alice. By a stroke of good fortune, she too was an heiress and it was her considerable dowry which enabled Nicholas to build a house in Red Lion St, Spitalfields from which he conducted his practice.

When the Civil War broke out two years later, the anti-royalist Nicholas signed up with Cromwell. Once his profession was discovered however, the recruiting offer commented, “We do not need you at the battlefield…come along as the field surgeon since most of the barbers and physicians are royal asses and we have use for someone to look after our injured.” Later, during the battle of Reading, Nicholas himself was wounded.

On his return to Spitalfields, he devoted himself to study and writing, and produced a number of books including a Directory for Midwives. Nicholas recognised that this was an unusual topic for a male herbalist, writing in the dedication, “If you (the matron) by your experiences find anything not according to the truth ( for I am a man and therefore subject to failings) first judge charitably of me…” Having grown up so close to his mother, Nicholas had a deep respect of women but this book may also have been inspired by some painful experiences in his own family for, although Alice bore him seven children, only one daughter lived to adulthood.

In 1652, Nicholas published his master work The English Physician also known as Culpeper’s Herbal which became the standard work for three hundred years and is still in print. It was sold cheaply and made its way to America where it had a lasting impact too. By 1665, ten years after his death, Nicholas’ name was so well-known that the Lord Mayor of London chose to use it alongside that of Sir Walter Raleigh in a pamphlet about avoiding infection from the Great Plague.

Nicholas Culpeper deserves to be remembered. He was always on the side of the underdog, he opposed the ‘closed shop’ of earlier physicians and he promoted sensible self-help. He also tried to offer reasonable explanations for what he wrote – “Neither Gerard nor Parkinson or any that ever wrote in a like manner ever gave one wise reason for what they wrote and so did nothing else but train up young novices in Physic in the School of Tradition, and teach them just as a parrot is taught… But in mine you see a reason for everything that is written.”

He died in 1654, aged only thirty-eight, of tuberculosis and is believed to be buried beneath Liverpool St Station.

While in the occupation of Culpeper, who died in 1654, this house stood in Red Lion Field and was as a dispensary of medicines (perhaps the first) of very considerable celebrity.” The European Magazine and London Review, January 1812.

Basic Astrology info 🌙 { Things that you need to know before reading my character Analysis }

I tried my best to bring you from 0% to about 80% in Astrology. the other 20% is practicing ^^ which you can learn in my character analysis or by yourself.

Do you just know your sun ☀️ sign? are you new to astrology? then this post is for you! here, I will teach you some basic things about Astrology. so you can understand and enjoy 💡 my other posts ( ´･ω･)人(・ω・｀ ) especially my { character analysis } please don't forget these are just little parts. I will tell you more in my { character analysis } when making them a birth chart.

Before starting, I would like to ask you { watch this 2 min video }. it will give you a nice start about what's going on in the sky. don't try to understand anything . just watch and enjoy the music. you know it's not a good method to just start talking about something new. { not for everything of course } we should give people time. even if it's just a little bit . to be alone with that subject. to get the possibility, look at it and get to know it alone. as a stranger that we don't know.

and after a while, we won't still have much information about it BUT our new friend is not a stranger anymore . and when a teacher comes, and give us answers, they will make a lot more sense! because we have questions inside our own minds! and that's very important. learning without these little moments is not effective at all. like a bad programmed robot, that when you show it an image from a male Blonde anime character with blue eyes, its only answer would be: "NARUTO? " NO! don't be a robot!

For this guide, I decided to explain topics that are not mentioned in most astrology lessons. the parts that we always used by default without explanation. I didn't cover things that you can search for and find easily.

so let's get started ^^ I hope you like to read!

Last Update 2/29/2020

What is Astrology? Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of { several things in the sky }, from our point of view on earth.

Q1.what things? A1. these : { Planets + Zodiac Signs }

Planets: {Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Sun, Moon + some other Objects + some mathematical points }

Zodiac Signs { signs and NOT Constellation. it's very important. I will talk about it more }

Note 1 { Sun + Moon + some other Objects } aren't planets . we all know that. BUT as a moving thing in the sky, they are in the group of planets.

Note 2 It's very important that Astrology is from our point of view from earth. { it a 2D thing } and NOT what actually happens in the space. wouldn't it make it wrong? No. I will tell you why. wait a bit, please.

Q2. By studying those things, what will we find out? A2. The two important ones are these : { what kind of character we got at the moment we were born } { How the sky effect our < Birth Moment Character > at every single second }

Q3. What does it mean? < our Birth Moment Character > A3. Imagine this: Planets are moving in the sky and throwing colors { their energy }. someone is born and his/her soul will be painting in those colors! her/his hand will become red by mars, a gold head by sun and so on. another person is born a week later. her/his hand will get gold. because the sun's position has changed ! and this colored soul, will be your character. how you get angry. why. how you would show your emotions and so on.

Q4. So, that's the reason why they are so many people that have my Sun sign, but they are so different. because the planets position change and we have a different sky map. A4. Yes, ^^ you had different sky maps < Birhcharth > when you were born.

Note In astrology, we call that sky map { your birth moment character } birth chart ! its a chart that will show each planet position at the time you were born. I want to make a birth chart for fictional characters :3

Q5.But I have a friend and she/he has a twin. and they are totally different. their sky should be quite similar ! then why are they so different? A5. If you have that question, Congratulations ! you will become a very good astrologer ! you are a person that cares about details and it's very important for learning and using astrology. you know my dear friend, you can even find a person, that was born in the exact second as you { which means you both have the exact sky map } BUT be totally different!

Q6. Really why? Q7. because you will { 100% } have different, childhood and totally different experiences from your lives. it's not only your chart < birth moment character > that will effect you. you { your experiences from your live } will effect your chart too. and that's the most amazing part of astrology ! which I will teach you in my fictional character analysis.

So the boring part is done! let's start talking about birth chart ! and those things that I said I will answer later!

What are Zodiac Signs? before this, we should start with the definition of constellations. Long ago when we looked at the sky, there were some stars that :

Their distance from each other did not change

They made groups. and each group had a shape

we put names on every single group. these names came from how they looked. for example, The Great Bear Or Ursa Major looks like a bear. these groups of stars are constellations!

They are 12 constellations that we use their NAMES in astrology. { From Aries The Ram to Pisces The Fish }.

we call these 12 constellations, Zodiacs. Zodiac is an Ancient Greek word and it means The Circle Of Animals. { some of them aren't animals but still XD }

At this point, you may have these Questions:

Q1.What? we use only their names? Q2.Why are they 12? Q3.Why are only these particular constellations in the group of Zodiacs?

If we see the whole sky with all its constellations as a map, these map's position change Overtime! In spring, some constellations are in the west. but when summer comes they are in the north! for example. the whole map does not change. it somehow rotates!

Something was always the same. Through what we know as a year { From the First day of Spring to the last day of Winter } something interesting happened to the Sun.

it always passes through one path. in this specific path, they are only 12 constellations! { you can see it in this video }

youtube

As you can see, there are 2 lines in this video. A green one and a red one. The Green one shows the sun's path. { we see it from earth } through what we call a year. The red one shows Earth's movement. and where the 4 seasons start. Again, through what we call a year.

Q4. What are the seasons? A4. We have them because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. The tilt of the Earth means the Earth will lean towards the Sun (Hot Summer) or lean away from the Sun (Cold Winter) 6 months later. In between these, Spring and Autumn will occur. The Earth's movement around the sun causes the seasons. You can read more about the seasons HERE.

Q5. Did we EXACTLY know when was the starting day of each season? A5. Yes. you can see how we measured them:

youtube

So let's continue ^^ Just for reminding, I didn't forget the questions I didn't answer yet. don't worry!

2 factors from the { first video } showed us how time was moving. The red line represents the seasons. We could see and feel how the weather was changing. and the green line which was the view of the sky. and we could see how the stars and constellations changed at those 4 seasons.

Let's go back to the last picture again. It says:

At the starting days of the second 30/31 days of summer, if we followed the sun's path through that green line, we would see the sun in The Lion constellation.

NOTE In the Calendar we use today, we call these 31 days { the second 30/31 days of summer } 23 JULY - 22 AUGUST. In astrology, we call the second astrological month of summer, The Leo Season.

Q6. How did we get to this point? ََA6. Please keep in mind that I made this guide as a simple explanation for how Astrology's system works. I didn't explain our journey through how we made our calendar system or why we kept our current system. Well, ^^ now that this’s clear, let's continue with the answer ^u^

4000 years ago, our ancestors found something interesting. At the starting point of the first 30/31 days of Spring, they ALWAYS saw THE RAM { ARIES } constellation in a particular part of the sky. and it was always. Every year.

At the starting point of the second 30/31 days of spring, they ALWAYS saw THE BULL { TAURUS } constellation in a particular part of the sky.

At the starting point of the 3rd 30/31 days of spring, they ALWAYS saw THE TWINS { GEMINI } constellation in a particular part of the sky.

So they made these laws:

When we see THE RAM constellation has arrived, it means, the next 30/31 days, are the first 30/31 days of spring.

When we see THE BULL constellation has arrived, it means, the next 30/31 days, are the second 30/31 days of spring.

When we see THE TWINS constellation arrived, it means, the next 30/31 days, are the 3rd 30/31 days of spring.

And so on. for all 4 seasons , they could make 3 laws! In General, these laws mean this:

The Ram constellation was a sign that the next 30/31 days, are the first 30/31 days of spring.

The BULL constellation was a sign that the next 30/31 days, are the second 30/31 days of spring.

The TWINS constellation was a sign that the next 30/31 days, are the 3rd 30/31 days of spring.

With these laws, we make each season to 3 parts. We have 4 seasons so we get 12 parts. each part was around 29/31 days, and had a constellation as a sign!

So with this information, we can make a new map.

The inner circle: the 4 seasons. It will have 12 parts. They are the astrological months. They will be different from July and August. They will start with the seasons.

Point A: The First day of Spring { Vernal Equinox }

The white lines in the season circle: The starting day of each 30 days { astrological month } we will have 12 groups. and each of them will have 30/31 days.

The Green circle: The Sun’s path Here are the 12 constellations that are in the sun’s path.

The Black lines in the green circle: the day that we could see a certain constellation, in a particular part of the sky.

As you can see the constellations are not equal in length. Some of them are large like Pisces The Fish.and some of them are very small Like Aries The Ram. but it wouldn't cause us any problems. because we don't use the length { the whole days } that a constellation is visible in the sky.

we only use the first day that we can see it. we see a constellation in a certain time and place, and then we could tell the next 30 days, will belong to which group.like this: look !! The Bull constellation is here { here = time and place } again! Then the next 30 days are the second 30 days of spring.

These constellations are acting as a sign { guide } for us. that we can recognize the start of each astrological month. { don't forget that the constellations shouldn't exactly appear on the first day of each month. }

Q7. You said we only use their names, but this doesn't make sense. When we put these 2 circles together, we will see that each astrological month, is bound to one constellation. So it's really the constellation and not just its name!

A7. the short answer is this: its because the seasons happen always in the same place. { the seasons circle doesn't move } but the constellations circle will move { from our point of view } so they aren't bound together!

The last image is our view from 4000 years ago. Let’s go to 700 years later. our view from the sky changed Like this:

Before starting with the long answer, I should tell you something. As you see in the last picture, on the first day of spring { Point A } the body of Aries THE RAM constellation was visible at the sky.

That's very important. around 4000 years ago, these 2 points were one and the same. { the 1st day of spring and when they saw Aries THE RAM constellation } And that's the time when I said our ancestors found those laws for the seasons.

But from our point of view, the constellations circle moves. Around the past 4000 years, As time passed, on the first day of spring, they didn't see the body of Aries THE RAM constellation. The point started to move from ARIES THE RAM to PISCES THE FISH. like this:

This happens because of how the Earth moves. { the Earth’s wobbling axis } You can see it in this video:

youtube

NOTE The Aries [♈] Symbol in this video, is re-parenting the first day of spring { it was the A Point in our map } you can see how our view of sky changes as time passes.

It keeps moving, until 2000 years ago. At that time, on the first day of spring, there was the starting point of Pisces constellation. And not ARIES. And now, 2000 years after that, on the first day of spring, there is the Aquarius constellation that we see in the sky.

Do you get the point? Around 4000 years ago, Aries constellation was the sign that spring is here { its first 30 days } but now { 4000 years after } the Aquarius constellation is doing this.

Note In Astrology, we give meaning to signs and planets. Like we say Gemini sign, rules communication. How we make our thoughts to words. How we talk. { Which we can't prove XD people say they lost the original resources and books for these meanings. Even If it's true we can't prove anything }

When we say Gemini in Astrology, we don't mean its constellation. Not now and not 4000 years ago. we mean a time in our yearly Calendar. The 3rd 30 days of spring. Which 4000 years ago, Gemini THE TWINS constellation, was its sign of arrival! 4000 years ago, when astrology was born, This constellation was the guide that the 3rd 30 days of spring is here! But now, 4000 years after, this constellation is not the guide.

Q8. Wouldn't it make Astrology wrong? A9. No. Because the meaning we give to Gemini is not for the constellation. It's for those 30 days! The 3rd 30 days of spring!

Note A Calendar answers this : When is now. it is related to time. What is time for us? Our seasons. The movement of Earth around the Sun. So the question when, and the term of time is bound to the question WHERE and the term of movement and place. We have spring when the Earth is in a certain place and has a specific distance from the sun. And it goes for other seasons too. Now we can add another thing to the calendar. It's related to a Place. Where is Earth right now. { from the sun } its a combination of WHEN AND WHERE.

So those 30 days, that carries the Gemini meaning, aren't just made of time because they are days. They are made of a place around the sun. So Gemini sign { the 3rd 30 days of spring } it's not just made of time. It's placed in the sky.

So with this, we can make the space around the sun, in 12 equal parts.

And each part will be those 30 days. astrological moths. So they will be 30 degrees.

360 degrees ÷ 12 = 30 degrees 30 degrees = 31-30-29 days A circle is 360 degrees.

These 12 parts are those parts that carry the astrological meanings and not the constellations. The meaning is connected to every 30 days. And therefore to a place in the sky around the sun.

4000 years ago, we needed a guide to recognize when every 30 days was here. But now we don't. We keep using the name of a constellation, that 4000 years ago were bound to every 30 days. We call the first 30 days of spring Aries, because of 4000 years ago. It’s just a name.

now, we use the names of the constellations to addressing an astrological month. you can see that the constellations are no longer there. but we use their name. { I used their symbols here }

I hope I could make it clear ^^ that was the difference between signs and constellations. thank you so much for reading all of it ^u^

So when we say My sun sign is Gemini it means:

At the moment I was born, my sun was in one of those 12 equal parts around the Earth, that 4000 years ago, The Gemini constellation was its sign. My sun was there. In the 3rd part of those 12.

So we answered these questions:

Q1.What? we use only their names? Q2.Why are they 12? Q3.Why are only these particular constellations in the group of Zodiacs?

You can have a new Question ^^:

Q.why did they make the astrological months equal in size? Why didn't they make their size exactly like the constellations?

A.you know, it's because they had an understanding about the seasons AND then looked at the stars and found those laws.

The first day of spring { Vernal Equinox} The first day of summer { Summer Solstice} The first day of Autumn { Autumnal Equinox } The first day of winter { Winter Solstice}

There were 4 fix points. The starting of each season. They want to keep these 4 points.

They saw only 3 constellations between the start and endpoint of each season.like the last image. { I say 3 because I talk about the whole length of a constellation }

So they had to make each season 3 parts. And they had to make them equal to keep those 4 points.

And because of these 2 things { keeping those 4 points ~ there were almost 3 constellations in each season } they didn't have any other choice. They have to make them equal. If not, the would lose those 4 points as fixed points.

There is a constellation after Scorpio. above it. before Sagittarius. its name is Ophiuchus. People say it's the 13th sign. Which is wrong. so let’s find out why ^^

If you are a SatrrySky fan { Otome Game | Anime } you should be familiar with It. Ophiuchus looks like a man grasping a snake.

Let’s go back 4000 years ago and try to make Ophiuchus a guide { sign } for some days in the year.

Ophiuchus can't be a sign because: Through what we call a year, the sun doesn't pass over it! After Scorpio, the sun will directly go to Sagittarius constellation. Sun won't go there to Ophiuchus. We made this system from the sun's movement. If the sun doesn't pass it, it's not in our system. you can see it in the picture.

The constellations job was to be a guide { sign } for us. 4000 years ago, all 365 days of the year had their own guide without Ophiuchus. even If some day Ophiuchus would become a part of the zodiac circle { which means we would be able to see the sun travel through it } it wouldn't become a sign! since the year won't become more than 365 days. so there are no extra days for Ophiuchus to be a guide { sign } for them.

So Ophiuchus is not a sign. the end XD

even if Ophiuchus could become a sign, it would become the 9th sign { after Scorpio } and not 13th. Pisces would become the 13th sign.

{ you know I'm asking myself that would anybody keep reading this XD ? }

at the beginning we talked about Birth-Charts:

In astrology, we call that sky map { your birth moment character } birth chart ! its a chart that will show each planet position at the time you were born. I want to make a birth chart for fictional characters :3

Please watch this Short video. { visual is always better for understanding ^^ }

NOTE In This video you will see that the teacher is talking about the term { Predominant Constellations } and that is what I tried to tell you in the last parts ^^

youtube

So now that we have an understanding of what exactly is a Birth-chart, we should go ahead and know its components. which are:

The 12 signs meanings

The Planets meanings

The 12 Houses and their meaning

I prefer to start with the houses. because they can be a little confusing. the big question about them is why they exist? why we have another ring there, with 12 equal parts { like the signs } but they have numbers as names? I will answer all of them ^^

First of all, let's watch this short video and see how the houses look:

youtube

welcome back ^^

I know you may get more confused XD but don't worry! now that you watched this video, you are ready for the main explanation. before the main explanation about why the house system exists, I would like to talk about something else.

you know we have a term in astrology called Ruler-ship. they say:

Sun is the Ruler of Leo

Mercury Rules both Gemini and Virgo

Mars Rules both Aries and Scorpio { Scorpio in antic astrology }

Scorpio has 2 Rules, Mars and Pluto

Ruler-Ship is a kind of relation. let’s talk about Mercury and its relation with Gemini and Virgo { Very Simple and short } Mercury is:

Our mind

It Rules both Gemini and Virgo

Gemini is how we talk { put our thoughts to words }

Virgo is analyzing things that already exist.

their relation makes sense right?

and now BOOM! the house system will come in XD we will get another circle with 12 equal parts { like the signs }, they have numbers as names and, Their Ruler is a sign!

It even gets worse XD it’s ok let’s go on. every house will have a sign as a ruler. like the 3rd house is ruled by Gemini, the 3rd sign.

so we could get these Ruler-Ship groups:

#1 { Mars | Aries + 1st House }

#2 { Venus | Taurus + 2nd House }

#3 { Mercury | Gemini + 3rd House }

#4 { Moon | Cancer + 4th House }

#5 { Sun | Leo + 5th House }

#6 { Mercury | Virgo + 6th House }

#7 { Venus | Libra+ 7th House }

#8 { Pluto + Mars | Scorpio + 8th House }

#9 { Jupiter | Sagittarius + 9th House }

#10 { Saturn | Capricorn + 10th House }

#11 { Uranus | Aquarius + 11 House }

#12 { Neptune | Pisces+ 12 House }

let’s go back to Mercury again. mind, talking and analyzing. the planet has the main meaning and the sign { here are 2 } is Its subset. It is related to it.

when we start to put the 3rd house here, we start to see the problem. the 3rd house meaning is VERY similar to the Gemini sign. their similarity is a lot more than Mercury and Gemini. like they are the same thing and we are forcing ourselves to see and use them as 2 different terms.

the same goes for all the houses and their Ruler signs.

let’s talk about Libra: In one simple word, Libra would be: { Others }

Its opposite sign Aries: In one simple word, Aries would be: { Self } Self: How we differentiate ourselves from others { as you can see we can see Libra’s meaning, [ which is the opposite sign ] here. not any self. the self that we differentiate ourselves from others }

The 7th house is Relationship. { romantic or not }

do you see their similarity? we can have relationships with others.this is the point that they start to look like the same thing.

we have 2 circles with 12 equal parts { Signs and Houses } because the Earth has 2 movements.

One around the sun that will make the Sign circle

One around its self that will make the House circle

let’s ignore that earth has the 2nd movement. try to imagine that earth is a cube and its only movement is to orbit around the sun.

as the cube travels around the sun, its whole body will pass through the signs. it will take one astrological month { around 30 days } for the cube, to go from a sign to the next one.

360 degrees ÷ 12 signs = 30 degrees 30 degrees is around 31-30-29 days

now let's add the 2nd movement to our cube. if we do this, at every single moment, our cube will face a sign, that is different from the sign that its whole body is in it. it will take 2 hours for the cube, to go from a sign to the next one.

24 hours ÷ 12 signs = 2 hours

because the earth moves around itself, in every 24 hours, we will face each sign. for about 2 hours. it will take a whole day to face all the 12 signs. and because of this, we have a house circle. that shows us when we are facings a sign in every 24 hours.

the sign circle will move slowly. every 30 days. but the house circle is fast. it moves every 2 hours.

the 1st house is basically Aries. the 2nd house is basically Taurus. [ .... ] the 12th house is basically Pisces.

I recommend watching the last video again ^^ I think you will be less confused this time ^u^

The inner purple circle: The Signs circle { with white signs } The outer orange circle: The Houses circle { with black signs + numbers } The blue cube: The earth The Yellow circle: The sun

As you can see, the sun is at the beginning of Taurus season. which means that we are in May { like around 9th may }. the 1st house is in Aries. at this time of the year, the 1st house is in Aries around 02:52 AM. let’s see what will happen 2 hours later:

As you can see around 05:22 AM, while the earth orbits around itself, it will face other signs. our view from the 1st house will change. don’t forget that the earths place in the sky is still the same. { the sun is in Taurus } the sun’s position re-present the movement of earth around the sun.

NOTE It’s always the House circle that moves. in some birth-chart designs, its like that the sign circle is moving. but it’s not ^^ they do it for a better look! let’s give our last chart a better look:

As you can see I just rotate it. the chart is still the same as before. its 1st house and everything are the same.

NOTE for some reason { which I will tell } we rotate a birth-chart, until its 1st house land 100% on the left. then this will automatically happen :

Its 7th house will land on the right. Its 4th house will land on the most bottom part. And Its 10th house will land on the top.

Q.why?

A.The 4th house is basically cancer sign right? so Cancer will rule it. the ruler of cancer is the Moon. and Moon is our Emotions and feelings. so the 4th house is also Ruled by The Moon. the 4th house is representing the most hidden and deepest part of our character. So for better visual understanding, we put the 4th house on the bottom of the chart. it’s the deepest place. so it should look like one. The 4th house is representing our private life.

A. Its opposite House, the 10th house is representing our outdoor life. so it's the most visible part of our character. everyone can easily see it. so it will go on the top. automatically.

for better understand we should have this point of view:

It makes sense right? from this view the 4th house is on the bottom and the 10th house is on the top.

The first 6 houses are more hidden than the next 6. let’s suppose the first six are under water.

I will have Birth-chart commission soon ^^ { just the design }

The blue part { sky } inside the chart is the house system. you can see the numbers. the first house has a mask with the Aries symbol. the 7th house has a mirror with a Libra symbol. the 4th house has a heart-shaped moon and cancer sign in its sky and the 10th house has Capricorn symbol on its door.

The middle part is for the signs and planets. and a bunch of other things. the complete description will come soon ^^

astrology is the art of combining these meanings. you can find lots of resources about these meanings. you can find lots of videos, more than 1 hour that people are talking about a single sign.

you can learn a lot about each one. but if you are not able to combine them, it would be useless. so for better understand, let's begin with the Elements.

The elements are like the skeleton of the signs meanings. it's very important to understand them well. each element will have a group of signs:

Fire: [ Aries Leo Sagittarius ]

Earth [ Capricorn Taurus Virgo ]

Air [ Libra Aquarius Gemini ]

Water [ Cancer Scorpio Pisces ]

These 4 elements have their own meanings in astrology.

Fire is the Spirit

Earth is the Reality

Air is the Mind

Water is Emotions

so let’s find out what they really mean. I will continue with an example. there are moments in our daily life like these:

we want to draw a picture

change our profile picture

buy an outfit for an important meeting

they are times that we exactly know what we want. like we have a Clear image from what we want inside our head. and they are times that we are lost. we know what we want. but inside our head is completely empty. let’s take a look at this:

let assume that the 1st image is not a real dog. it’s our imagination from the perfect dog we want to draw.

The 1st image is Fire. the Spirit. our imagination is a a complete thing inside our head. it's alive. it just needs to come out.

The 3rd image is Earth. the Reality. it’s what we draw. now it’s out from our head.

The 2nd image is Air. our mind. the logic and skills we use for our drawing.

at the end, we will become happy or sad with the result XD and that’s Water!

The 2nd part of the skeleton of the signs is their Attribute. they call it Modality too. which are:

Cardinal type [ Aries Cancer Libra Capricorn ]

Fixed type [ Taurus Leo Scorpio Aquarius ]

Mutable type [ Gemini Virgo Sagittarius Pisces ]

We begin with the Fixed types. Do you remember this:

You know my dear friend, you can even find a person, that was born in the exact second as you { which means you both have the exact sky map } BUT be totally different! because you will { 100% } have different, childhood and totally different experiences from your lives. it's not only your chart < birth moment character > that will affect you. you { your experiences from your live } will affect your chart too. and that's the most amazing part of astrology ! which I will teach you in my fictional character analysis.

Fixed type signs are those parts. the parts that our life will affect our Birth-Chart. they are like blank pages that are waiting for something to be written on them. they will be filled with our experiences from our lives. Let's combine the 4 elements with the Fixed type:

Fixed Air: Aquarius | Our Fixed Thoughts Aquarius is Fixed Air. It's our Fixed Thoughts. things that we chose to believe. people with extremely strong Aquarius would have problems to understand their mistakes. they can't change their fixed mind easily. On the other hand, Aquarius's positive job is to make us keep things. if someone has a week Aquarius, she/he would easily get influenced by others. Aquarius has other meanings too. this is its base meaning.

Fixed Water: Scorpio | Our Fixed Emotions Scorpio is the Pain that we decide to keep inside our self. it's how we define pain. how we handle it and and until when. there is a point that Scorpio will attack. and it depends on our life. what is danger for us? People with hard lives will have damaged Scorpio. depend on their lives, they will have a pattern to protect them self for an emotional breakdown. Scorpio has other meanings too. this is its base meaning.

Fixed Earth: Taurus | Our Fixed Livestyle In astrology one part of Taurus meaning { as Fixed earth } is Resistance. Things we already have and do in our live { Reality } and want to keep them as they are. Taurus has other meanings too. this is its base meaning.

Fixed Fire: Leo | Our Fixed Self Leo is our main character. who we are. why we chose to be who we are. we will fill our blank Leo page when we are a child. why we chose to become an Artist, a Doctor and so on. why did we attract to them and start to define ourselves with them? Leo has other meanings too. this is its base meaning.

Let's continue with Mutable types. Their job is to correct { change } our Fixed signs.

Mutable Air: Gemini | correcting Fixed Air [Aquarius] Remember what was Gemini? how we talk. how we put our thoughts into words. it's also how we discuss things. Gemini's job is to correct Aquarius. our Fix thoughts. people with strong Gemini can easily change their wrong beliefs. they can also discuss almost every subject and don't get extremely mad or upset. Gemini has other meanings too. this is its base meaning.

Mutable Fire: Sagittarius | correcting Fixed Fire [Leo] Sagittarius is the opposite sign of Gemini. so let's use it to define Sagittarius. Gemini is discussing. for discussing we need at least 2 people. so Sagittarius most be talking to ourselves. and that's correct! Sagittarius job is to correct Leo, our Fixed self. Sagittarius will act like a mirror for Leo. Do we know ourselves right? Is this me? Sagittarius has other meanings too. this is its base meaning.

Mutable Earth: Virgo | correcting Fixed Earth [Taurus] Remember what was Virgo? Virgo is analyzing things that already exist. like our Taurus. Virgo has other meanings too. this is its base meaning.

Mutable Water: Pisces | correcting Fixed Water [Scorpio] Pisces will change our limit for taking pain. Pisces has other meanings too. this is its base meaning.

If we look into our Birth-Chart like a system, Cardinal signs are the entry points to this system. how our chart will get Triggered by any event. as time will pass and we grow up, the entry point may change. depending on your current character. but at first, they are our entry points.

I like to add to another definition to them. Cardinal signs have a relation with the Fixed signs. Cardinal signs are like a surface for the Fixed signs. they are very similar to the Fixed signs. but they have a lighter meaning.

Cardinal Fire: Aries | The starting layer of [Leo] َAries is the starting point that we know ourselves { = Our Fixed self. which is our Leo. } Aries meaning as the Cardinal Fire is very similar to Leo but it's not as deep as Leo. still Aries has a self meaning inside it. because of its Fire element. Aries is the part of us that is completely visible. it's not hidden, it's not Incomplete or waiting for shaping. it's just there. if you say I hate it when other people bossing me around, it's Aries. but if you ask your self why, the answer would be a part of your Leo.

Cardinal Water: Cancer | The starting layer of [Scorpio] Cancer is the starting point of our emotions. unlike Scorpio, Cancer doesn't take any pain inside. it lets them completely out. Cancer is the pain that we let out on our own will. this sign will give people extreme emotions.

Cardinal Air: Libra | Others Do you remember this: In one simple word, Libra would be: { Others } Its opposite sign Aries: In one simple word, Aries would be: { Self: How we differentiate ourselves from others } as you can see we can see Libra’s meaning, [ which is the opposite sign ] here. not any self. the self that we differentiate ourselves from others. New: So, in other words, Libra will make a definition of the term { We } for us. How much we are willing to give ourselves { Aries } up for others { Libra }. let’s not forget that Libra does this for the sake of all { we }.

Cardinal Earth: Capricorn | Acting by facts Capricorn is Cancer’s { emotions } opposite sign. so we can say Capricorn is very emotionless XD. it's not like that Capricorn is heartless or cruel. they don't act emotionally { Watery }. they act by facts { Reality = Earth }. In most horoscopes { = personal Astrology. Sun Sign only } Capricorns are defined as great leaders. other signs can be great leaders too. the thing is that people with strong Capricorn, are one of them. because they can mostly make good decisions. without sadness, rage or regret. { they all are negative emotions. and it's because Cancer is the pain that we let out on our own will. }

（　＾＾）人（＾＾　）we are done with 90%

Remember Ruler-ship: Ruler-Ship is a kind of relation.

#1 { Mars | Aries + 1st House } #2 { Venus | Taurus + 2nd House } #3 { Mercury | Gemini + 3rd House } #4 { Moon | Cancer + 4th House } #5 { Sun | Leo + 5th House } #6 { Mercury | Virgo + 6th House } #7 { Venus | Libra+ 7th House } #8 { Pluto + Mars | Scorpio + 8th House } #9 { Jupiter | Sagittarius + 9th House } #10 { Saturn | Capricorn + 10th House } #11 { Uranus | Aquarius + 11 House } #12 { Neptune | Pisces+ 12 House }

#3 { Mercury | Gemini + 3rd House }

#6 { Mercury | Virgo + 6th House }

Mercury is:

Our mind

It Rules both Gemini and Virgo

Gemini is how we talk { put our thoughts to words }

Virgo is analyzing things that already exist.

Each planet, sign, and house will have a meaning. like I said before astrology is the art of combining their meanings. you can learn a lot about each one. but if you are not able to combine them, it would be useless. we learned the 2 parts of astrology's skeleton. Elements and Attributes. and then we have learned to combine those 2 and get the base meaning of the signs.

it's very important: it was their base meaning and not all what they are. I decide to talk more about their meaning in my character analysis. it would be more fun and effective (◕▽◕✿) so for now, I will write a few words for each reaction group.

Sun: What we want, Personal identity

Moon: What we need, Sense of security , Feelings

Mercury: Thinking, communication, intellect, learning

Venus: Sensuality, love, harmony, pleasure, things we like

Mars: Actions, energy, courage, assertiveness

Jupiter: Happiness, optimism, expansion

Saturn: Cons, Restriction, order

Uranus: Originality, freedom, revolution

Neptune: Fantasy, illusion, spirituality, imagination

Pluto: Transformation, regeneration, power, pain

South/North nodes { The Lunar Nodes }

Lilith

Chiron

{ South/North nodes } They are not planets, but rather astrology mathematical points, that are directly opposite each other in the chart. they will be in opposite signs and houses.so let’s see what are those nods:

As you can see in the last image, the Moon and the Sun both have a rotating orbit around the earth. there are 2 points, that these 2 orbits cross each other. and they are the Lunar nods { South/ North Nods }.

South Node: What we already have in our personality, comfort zone, your habitual place

North Node: What we should learn in our lives, life lessons and what you’re striving for in this lifetime.

You can read more about them HERE

{ Lilith } Lilith is a fictional point - the second empty focal point of elliptical orbit of the Moon around the Earth. Lilith is our dark side.

{ Chiron } Chiron is an asteroid between Saturn and Uranus. Its orbit is very unusual and represents a bridge between material and spiritual worlds. Chiron is the Wounded Healer. it means that we are born with some wounds. in our life, we will learn how to cure them. better than anyone. like a master. because these wounds have been with us from the beginning and are parts of us. after that, when we heal our wounds, we can do the same for other people, that have the same wounds. but they didn't get them from the beginning like us.

Chiron’s story According to mythology, Chiron was a great healer, wise teacher and one of the immortal Centaurs. Unfortunately, he was "deadly" injured by a poisonous arrow by Heracles, his favourite disciple. He was suffering in great pain but he could not die. Finally, he gave up his immortality for the benefit of Prometheus who was also suffering, and Chiron was sent to the underworld. In the underworld Zeus had mercy for him and he raised him to the heaven. In astrology, Chiron symbolises our unhealable injuries and incurable trauma. However, if a person, instead of drowning in his own trauma, is able to accept the trauma and help others who are also suffering, and accept that suffering is part of life, then Chiron may be the key to wisdom, or even to some sort of "Initiation Gate".

Here are the planets symbols. in astrology we call them Glyphs. so here are the glyphs for each planet. planets glyphs are alchemy symbols. like the glyph for Mars, is the symbol of Iron in alchemy. you can read more about them HERE.

we are finished with the planets^^ please keep in mind I will talk more about their meaning in my character analysis. it would be more fun and effective (◕▽◕✿)

In astrology, an aspect is an angle the planets make to each other in our Birth-char. so let’s take a look at this image. the colorful lines are the Aspects:

In this sample, the moon is in the sign Taurus and 8th house. it’s how we read a birth-chart (︢⓪ ᴗ ︢⓪✿)

For understanding the effect of aspects, try to imagine the earth in the middle of the birth-chart. it's like those planets are talking to us. can you feel their combine force?

If they are 2 or more planets at the same place: it's like they are on the same side. they are friends with each other. { If they don't have a natural opposite meaning }

If they are 2 or more planets at the exact opposite place: each of them wants you to Follow it.

Here are the major aspects:

#1 The Conjunction: when 2 or more planets are at the same place in the birth-chart. Example: people with Mercury { mind } and Mars { action } Conjunction. when these 2 are in the same place, we will have a person that is very skilled with talking. it's like they talk with their mind OR think with their mouth. there is no delay between them.

#2 The Opposition: when 2 or more planets are exactly at the opposite place in the birth-chart. This means they're around 180 degrees apart. Example: people with Jupiter { optimism } and Saturn { Real Earthy fear - cons } Opposition. when these 2 are around 180 degrees apart, the person who has this, will think a lot! especially when they face a problem and have to decide. they think a lot of time about the good and bad things { their decision }. it's a good thing to have this aspect. BUT it can cause over-thinking and lack of action.

#3 The Trine: when 2 or more planets, are placed on the vertices of an Equilateral triangle. the Trine is an aspect formed when planets are three signs apart, or about 120 degrees apart. that means the planets involved, will be in signs, with the same elements { Here is Fire } as you can see in the picture, we need 3 planets 120 degrees apart from each other to form a complete Trine. BUT every 2 planets that are about 120 degrees apart, will make a Trine. because they are part of a complete Trine.

#4 The Sextile: when 2 or more planets, are placed on the vertices of an Hexagons. the Sextile is an aspect formed when planets are 2 signs apart, or about 60 degrees apart. that means the planets involved, will contain 2 elements { Here Fire and Air }. as you can see in the picture, we need 6 planets 6 degrees apart from each other to form a complete Sextile. BUT every 2 planets that are about 60 degrees apart, will make a Sextile. because they are part of a complete Sextile.

#5 The Square: when 2 or more planets, are placed on the vertices of an Square. the Square is an aspect formed when planets are 3 signs apart, or about 90 degrees apart. that means the planets involved, will have the same attribute { Here are Cardinals }. as you can see in the picture, we need 4 planets 90 degrees apart from each other to form a complete Square. BUT every 2 planets that are about 90 degrees apart, will make a Square. because they are part of a complete Square.

Pictures are from HERE

NOTE Do you remember this: If they are 2 or more planet at the exact opposite place, each of them wants you to Follow it.The Opposition { 180 degrees } and The Square { 90 degrees } are acting the same. they will want us to just follow them. and not the other planet. their difference is that it’s easier to break the loop in Square { 90 degrees }. but it’s very hard for The Opposition { 180 degrees }.

yes we are done ( ´･ω･)人(・ω・｀ ) thank you so much for your precious time ^^ please ask me if you have any questions!
