INSIDE: Soul astrology provides a map of your soul purpose, helping you understand why you have the obstacles you have and how to move past them to accomplish the mission you came here to pursue.
Astrology is an ancient science of reading the temperaments and inclinations of humans born under certain constellations.
Astrology and Astronomy were considered twins a long time ago, and scholars who studied one always studied the other.
In mythology, it is said that Baraqiel of the Watchers taught Astrology to humans.
Astrology belonged to many branches of the “forbidden knowledge” for humans, and thus, when the Watchers decided to mingle with the humans and teach us their ways, they “fell” from grace.
Astrology = The Map of the Soul
Astrology is the map of the soul. It is the cosmic way of understanding the universe, all things, and ourselves.
No wonder it was considered forbidden knowledge.
All prominent pharaohs, kings, and queens of the past had a court astrologer and listened closely to his guidance.
This shouldn’t be intimating. Instead, it’s quite fascinating and it should prompt you to delve deeper and research your own soul blueprint.
The deeper we delve into astrology, the more tools we gather to decipher our own destiny and the destination in which we are headed.
What is Soul Astrology?
Soul Astrology is the branch of astrology that provides an individual with the keys to his own castle. Through it, we learn about ourselves, our own design, and our own dharma (and karma).
Soul Astrology helps us discover the ways in which we can make the path to our soul’s destination easier.
What is a Rising Sign?
A rising sign, otherwise known as an ascendant (AC), is the sign of our social personality. It is how we dawn on people as it relates to the zodiac sign that was on the Eastern horizon when we were born.
Our rising sign represents our physical body and outward style. It carries 80% of our natal chart. That’s why it’s very important to know our exact time of birth.
What is a Ruling Planet?
The next important thing to understand in relation to soul astrology and your rising sign is your ruling planet. The ruling planet is a planet that rules over your rising sign (Venus for Libra and Taurus, Mars for Aries, Pluto for Scorpio, etc).
We can learn much about ourselves when we take a look at our Ascendant, ruling planet, and the planets that have found themselves in our first house, the house of our rising sign.
If we don’t have any planets in our first house, then we look to our ruling planet.
For example, I don’t have any planets in my first house, so I turn to Uranus (he rules over Aquarius – my Ascendant) and take a look at where he’s at, who keeps him company, and what kind of aspects he’s making to other planets in my natal chart.
Based on that, I can see what kind of temperament I have, what kind of circumstances I am met with in my daily life, and what my strengths and weaknesses are.

Sun sign and Moon sign
Your sun sign is where the sun was on the date of our birth. The same goes for your moon sign.
The moon is the quickest moving “planet,” therefore time of birth is also important in determining your correct moon sign.
What the Sun & Moon Represent in Astrology
The sun represents our ego, and moon represents our heart and emotions.
The sun also represents our father (and future husband), together with the tenth house (MC), and the moon represents our mother (and future wife), together with the fourth house (IC).
The sun is our conscious mind, whereas the moon is our subconscious mind.
The Luminaries
In astronomy, the moon is our planet’s satellite, just like Phobos and Deimos are Mars’s moons.
In Astrology, the moon (and sun) are treated like planets, but they are special because they never go retrograde, which means they never appear to be moving in a backward motion, as observed from the Earth.
This is why they are considered “luminaries,” our two great lights.
How the Sun & Moon Connects to the Chakras
Your sun sign is connected with the solar plexus chakra. It represents the manner and the way in which we exert ourselves, our ego, and our desires and ambitions.
Your moon sign is connected with the heart chakra. It represents the way in which we feel, the lens through which we perceive and give love, and how we express our needs and feelings.
