Reminder of Chart Chat on the Levels of Expression on Nov 11 at 7 PM in Silver Spring, MD. Details at http://www.janetszodiac.com/monthly-astrological-chart-chats.html
The zodiac signs are the fundamentals of astrology. For each sign, there is a level of development. In other words, the signs are not simply a list of keywords. For example, Virgo’s are picky, Aries’ are energetic, etc. Each sign has a level of expression which means that it can be manifested in a totally dysfunctional or highly spiritual way. So it is very important to know on what level we are expressing the sign now and what is the potential expression of the sign.
This is the main difficulty in doling a natal “reading” for someone. As Robert Hand said, “you don’t know how much consciousness has been pumped into the chart”. The only way you can begin to determine what level the sign is expressed is through dialog with the client. This is why computer reports are not very valuable. The advantage of an astrology consultation is that it can reveal which archetypes (signs and planets) are especially important for your life and how they might be expressed in the course of your life. To become conscious of the archetypes helps us learn to express them with greater self awareness.
Usually, a young person will express the zodiac signs in an immature way and as the individual copes with and grows through dealing with the dynamics of life, he or she will learn to creatively embody and integrate the potentials of the signs. But how this growth occurs depends on the individual.
To understand the zodiac signs in your chart, note the sign on the ascendant, the Sun sign and the Moon sign. These three signs are the predominant archetypes that are residing in your psyche. To understand these signs in depth and their possible evolution in expression, note the following:
The Myths: Myths that correspond to the signs are teaching stories because they reveal the positive and the negative aspects of the character in the myth and show their psychological and spiritual growth over time.
Yin/Yang : Another way to understand the signs is to look at whether or not they are introverted or extroverted signs. Fire and Air signs are extroverted and Water and Earth signs are introverted.
The Elements: Are the prominent signs in your chart Earth, Air Fire or Water? Water signs are deep, emotional signs; Earth signs are efficient and like to deal with reality and concrete facts. Air signs love abstract thought, theories and ideas. Fire signs are intuitive and believe in fantastic possibilities.
Orientation: Some signs are personal, Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer, some are social Leo, Virgo, Libra Scorpio and some are universal, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Personal signs are oriented toward me, Social signs are oriented toward you and me, me and you and Universal signs are oriented toward me and the universe.
Understanding the dynamics of the zodiac signs in your charts will help you to envision your highest potential.
