Astrology Basics: Lesson 1

Astrology Basics : Lesson 1

Hey everyone

Today's topic is SUN SIGNS

Sun within a year moves through all 12 signs of the zodiac once spending approximately 1 month in each sign. The sign that the sun was traveling through at the time of your birth is your sun sign.This is what astrology is based on: movement of planets in different signs during the time of your birth. Your sun sign governs your individuality, your style , your drive to fulfill your goals in life.
When I first started learning about astrology I always thought how is it possible to judge a person's personality depending only on the sun sign since there are so many people that have the same sun sign so does that mean all of us are same?
Well later on as I got to learn more, I understood astrology is not only about sun sign,it also depends on the movement of other planets during your time of birth.
For example: Moon sign that is which zodiac was the moon traveling through during the time of your birth, also plays a very important role in astrology.

Astrology is a fascinating tool for the study of human nature. When you first meet someone, the person is a mystery. You see the color of their eyes, hair, their height , physique but that is all physical. If you know the person's sun sign, you can put a few pieces of the puzzle together. But, just as when you are beginning a complex jigsaw puzzle, too many pieces are missing. the sun sign merely gives you and edge, an extra insight that you would not otherwise possess.

Knowledge of sun signs is not only useful in casual social meetings. It is invaluable in close relationships. Most important of all, an understanding of your own sun sign will give you an added measure of self knowledge, a deeper in sight into the stranger that is yourself.

So I am assuming everyone know what their sun sign is. For anyone who does not know you can find that out by looking at the list below:
March 21 - April 19 Aries
April 20 - May 20 Taurus
May 21 - June 20 Gemini
June 21 - July 22 Cancer
July 23 - August 22 Leo
August 23 - September 22 Virgo
September 23 - October 22 Libra
October 23 - November 21 Scorpio
November 22 - December 21 Sagittarius
December 22 - January 19 Capricorn
January 20 - February 18 Aquarius
February 19 - March 20 Pisces

Well this division is very general. To be sure of your exact sun sign, both the year and month of birth need to be considered. If any one has any questions as to what their sun sign is , please feel free to post your question as a comment to this post. It is really difficult for me to post the entire list since it will be too long , I hope everyone understands.


Now continuing..

As for the specific characteristics, you can go any other website or google it and you will get all the characteristics. I will also list the characteristics of all sun signs one by one (but you will have to wait for that, there is more that we need to talk about first).

Now we all know the 12 signs of the zodiac. These signs are also divided in twos, threes , fours and sixes.

Dualities (divided in twos)

Aries - Masculine
Taurus - Feminine
Gemini - Masculine
Cancer - Feminine
Leo - Masculine
Virgo - Feminine
Libra - Masculine
Scorpio - Feminine
Sagittarius - Masculine
Capricorn - Feminine
Aquarius - Masculine
Pisces - Feminine

A masculine sign means direct and energetic whereas a feminine sign is receptive and magnetic.
As you can the masculine and feminine alternate through signs.

For the rest of the five divisions you have to wait till the next post (there has to be some incentive for you to come back)
