Leo Rising

Astrology was really never my thing. Nor did I really believe in fate. I mean who hasn't read their daily horoscope at the back of a magzine/newspaper? It's kind of like opening up a fortune cookie to that encrypted message that will change the outcome of your life moving forward "This will be your year." I knew it!!!

But what is it about horoscopes that make us so awe struck? One minute were making fun of them and the next minute we are hoping they come true. It's because horoscopes are not just what we see on the surface, it's who we are at the very blueprint of our being.

When I say horoscope, most people will refer to their sun sign, or the zodiac sign assigned to the month they were born. Those born in Jan = Capricorns, Feb = Aquarius etc. But what most people don't know, is that horoscopes construct what is called our natal chart. Our natal chart is a configuration of planets and astrogloical aspects that were in alignment at the day & time of our birth.

Trust me this blew my mind when I found this out a couple of years ago.

Let me explain this using my own chart...

Birthday: 07.19.1992

Moon Sign: Pisces

Rising/Ascending: Leo

This is what the wheel looks like...

Your sun sign is who you are to the world.

Sun: Cancer (The world see's me a sweet, loyal, shy, nice, kind and moody) - ALL VERY TRUE FOR ME

Your moon sign is how you feel and process emotions.

Moon: Pisces (very emotional, cries through things, but also balances and moves with things)

- ALL VERY TRUE FOR ME

The ascending sign/rising: Is who you want to be in the world

Ascending: Leo (want material, luxury, status, respect, fame, success)

- ALL VERY TRUE FOR ME

Therefore am I a Cancer? At moments. Am I pisces? At moments. Am I Leo? At moments. Because of all these aspects are constantly intermingling as a live out this life path. This is where astrology has gone wrong. You are not your fixed sun sign. You are a combination.

While some characteristics can be true...(Test this out)

Capricorn - stubborn and cold

Aquarius - aloof and flighty

Pisces - emotional and deep

Taurus - stubborn and responsible

Gemini - two faced/two personalities

Cancer - kind and moody

Leo - head strong but bad at relationships

Aries - firey and tempered

Sagittarius - stable but angry

Libra - balanced and judicial

Virgo - friendly and gossipy

Scorpio - sexual and reactive

Therefore, you - who you are, how you act, what you are drawn to, who you are drawn to...really was "Written in the stars."
