Watch For Cycles & Patterns

If you had access to a chronicled record of your thought patterns, emotional cycles,
and your personal responses to the environmental conditioning you have received
in your life, would you find it valuable? How would having a tool such as this be
beneficial to various aspects of your life? For example, how would it help you to
make tough decisions? How would it affect your determination to never again
make that detrimental mistake you made that you regret? Would it enable you to
make choices for your future that were better for you than if you didn?t have this
record?
Astrology, in an overwhelming number of aspects of the science, is the study of
individual behavior patterns or cycles that repeat themselves. All you need to
answer all the questions above is a birth chart. A birth chart, sometimes called a
natal chart, is a graph depicting the position of the astrological houses and planets
in the sky at the very moment of your birth. To obtain this chart you need the date,
exact time, and exact place of your birth.
Proper analysis of your chart is quite revealing, and can lead you in recognizing
your personal patterns and cycles of life, love, and work. In the past decade
psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, and other professionals are using astrology
to pinpoint certain personality traits that are causing a person difficulty in life.
Many life coaches are using astrology to help people recognize when they are in a
proverbial rut, and encouraging them to pay attention to certain triggers in their
actions that are causing them to feel stuck.
On your individual birth chart, the sun sign (the sign based on the date you were
born) and ascendant (or rising) sign will reveal the patterns of your mind; the
moon nodes will show you about conditioning; and the moon sign will expose
your emotional responses or reactions.
Let?s look at some examples by categorizing them within the elements.
In each astrological sign there is a ruling planet. If the predominant planet of a sign
is in a ?stressed aspect? and is located in water, this person is sure to need to refine
their emotional responses, reactions, and disciplines, as they would be considered
very ?Emo.?
If the plant of another is stressed within a fire sign, self centered and impulsive
behavior needs to be modified. The need to become more sensitive, loving, and
develop a higher level of patience is absolutely necessary.
When in an air sign, a stressed plant will cause an individual to discipline their
mind and thoughts to produce clarity and reduce erratic thinking. This includes
how thoughts are communicated to others.
And finally, if it is the earth sign that the stressed planet is caught, there is entirely
too much attachment to the physical realm in the form of materialism. Obviously
there are security issues to deal with.
Learning to recognize these patterns and cycles, and adjusting accordingly, can
drastically improve your situation and position in life.
