When most people think about or hear the word Astrology they think about the horoscopes in the magazines (yes the ones I have mentioned oh so often). Some already know a bit more and understand that those horoscopes are just a small part of it. I have also just touched on a small part of Astrology, mainly the horoscopes, planets and the natal chart part.

The natal chart part is where you get an understanding of who you are as a person, what personality traits and behavioral aspects are driving force in your life, based on the planetary position on the time and day of your birth. Understanding these energies can give you an insight into your personal strengths and how to capitalize on them. It also brings to light your challenging areas ( I don’t like the word weaknesses) and how you can work on and through them. The natal chart gives indications of what qualities you have as a person, what areas might come into play in your life more than others and how your relations to family and partners might be.

The next step in understanding the natal chart is to realize that the planets’ movement in the solar system does have an impact on the internal energies we have in our chart. Therefore, having a prognoses done about the travels of the planets and how they can and will impact you and your basic energies (as seen in the natal chart) helps in understanding when challenging times will arise, who might be involved in these challenging (or positive) times, and when energies are right for romance, new job, new friends etc. This is all based on understanding your natal chart and its progressive and transiting planets.

However, this part of Astrology is just one out of many. Astrology is a concept that can be applied to many areas of life, not just by understanding your basic energies and patterns, but about life in general. I would like to name few of the major Astrology areas (in my opinion) to give an example of this.

Relationship Astrology : In this area of Astrology the focus is to understand the compatibility of two charts in a romantic or business aspect. It can also give insight into family relations.

Horary Astrology : This area of Astrology focuses on specific questions and how a chart can give you the answer. How it works is that a chart is created at the time the question is asked and answers are found in the planetary alignment at that exact time.

Business Astrology: People are not the only ones seeing the benefits of having a chart read, but companies as well. This area of Astrology guides organizations and businesses with various issues based on the “natal” chart of the company – which is compiled from the official establishing day of the company.

Medical Astrology : Every zodiac sign and planets represent some organ or a body part, and this focuses on how they are placed in your chart and will come to affect you. It also focuses on what your diet should be and what you should be aware off.

Psychological Astrology: As the name implies, this area focuses on understanding the psychological aspects and energies in a natal chart and of the progressive/transits energies as well.

There are more possibilities but these were the main ones I believed were worth mentioning.

I guess every Astrologer needs to decide if s/he wants to be more general and focus on the natal/prognoses aspect for individuals in his/her work, or if the interest lies in diving into more specific areas and guide people in one or two areas of life.

I would love to hear what you think is the most interesting aspect of Astrology and what could be of benefit for you!
