INTRODUCTION TO ASTROLOGY

ASTROLOGY AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS

 

 

Fire Signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. These are enthusiastic people, with lots of passion, they are entertaining, love to have fun, enjoy themselves and life in general, looking for the positive side, believe in themselves and trust others. They are the ones who start a business, a project, a love affair, without worrying about the outcome. But once everything is running smoothly they already look for the next adventure. They are generous, good company and you want to invite them to your next party.

We have Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn in the Earth Element. Earth stands for stability, solid ground, well planned, hard working, responsible, reasonable, logical, slow , preserving what is, stubborn, materialistic, very difficult to change, so very reliable, trustworthy. If you want to have good work done, if you look for precision, quality, if you're looking for somebody you can trust, somebody who can run your company while you want to go on holiday, you're looking for earth people.

Air Signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. They are the communicators of the zodiac. They are interested in relating, in social affairs, in people in general. They love words, messages, news, company, games, parties, communes, like-minded people, rotary clubs, old fashioned coffee shops, newspapers and most of all a good, intelligent conversation. Self-expression, beauty, love, creativity and inventions are their domain. So if you look for a journalist, a talk-host, a mediator, an impartial judge, a translator or just somebody with an intelligent mind you look for an air sign.

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces live the Water Element. Here is the realm of fantasy, of intuition, of emotions, impressions, the world beyond the boundaries of reason and logic. Things are changing, merging, moving, formless, difficult to grasp, impossible to pin down. Here you just know. No need to argue, no need to think. You follow your hearts callings and the gods protect you. You are connected with the heartbeat of the universe. You know in essence we are one. Here you can find the seer, the intuitive, love without conditions, the junkie, the actor, the nurse and the painter. So in case your life is falling apart and you're looking for somebody to understand your souls deepest longings, or any kind of shrink look for a water sign.

 

MOON NODES

The South Nodes tells you were you come from, which talents you bring into this life. It's a secure, cozy place that you know very well. You've lived that in your previous lives. You might have even developed some bad habits of that sign. So if your South node is in Taurus for instance, you might ask yourself: Am I too much focused on money, on having material security, on enjoying the world of the senses. But it is good to be aware of the positive qualities of the South Node. Here you have resources you can also go to, when you need it. So with my South Node in Gemini I can always rely on my ability to connect with other people and get their help, when I really need it.
Moon Nodes tell you the karmic direction of your life.
The North Node is the place in your chart that you need to develop. It's challenging, it's scary to go there. And it is very rewarding. You need to develop the positive qualities of this sign. You need to cultivate these traits and explore these areas of life. But don't expect that it is easy. You well have to start off as a real basic beginner. Whatever you do in that area, it's something that is much easier for other people. But if you stick with it existence will shower good fortune on you. It will give you a sense of direction, of meaning, of fulfilling your destiny. The sign of your North Node tells you which qualities you need to develop. The house tells you which areas of life you need to explore.
