Just
Beyond Sun Signs
In this article - we're going to journey just a wee tiny bit beyond
Sun Sign comparisons and talk about astrological romantic attraction.
If you've
read my articles on Sun Sign comparisons and compatibility, then
you were most likely surprised to learn that Sun Sign comparisons only
speak
about
how easily
two people
can potentially get along with each other without driving one another
nuts. They speak very little to attraction.
So
it's time that you get your feet just ever so slightly wet with
the astrological technique called "Synastry." Synastry
is just a fancy smancy word for the comparison of two birth charts
for purposes
of determining
astrological compatibility.
Aw
shucks... don't get scared and run off! What I'm about to
discuss is something
that (with
a little effort) virtually anyone can do.
Planetary
Ambassadors
In astrology, the birth positions of all the various planets in our
solar system play their own unique symbolic roles as messengers and
ambassadors of the
universe...
In fact -
there are two luminaries (the Sun and the Moon), eight planets (Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), twelve signs,
twelve houses (and much more) which go into making up our unique birth
charts...
But
generally speaking… two of the most important points to pay
close attention to in any astrological chart reading are:
Two
Most Important Characters
This overriding
importance of the Sun and Ascendant holds true when interpreting birth
charts - and it holds equally true when performing synastry comparisons
between the birth charts of two people. In a nutshell… the Sun reflects
where we're going, and the Ascendant explains how we're going to get there.
Doing
simple Zodiac Sign comparisons between the Sun and the Ascendant
is something
virtually anyone can do without the aid and/or expertise of an astrologer
(and without getting too confused and/or lost).
Note: But
in order to make these simple comparisons, you must have calculated
birth charts for both of the people you wish to compare. At the bottom
of the next page, I've provided a link that discusses where you can
get an accurate and free online birth chart calculated. A birth chart
is based on your month, day, and year of birth (i.e. 2/19/56). For an
accurately calculated Ascendant Sign, you must also know the exact time
of birth (i.e. 8:09 am, 7:34 pm, 3:45 am) and the geographical location
of your birth (i.e. the city, town, village, hut).
Cross
Comparisons
As mentioned, cross Sun Sign comparisons don't speak much about potential
romantic attraction and/or "falling in love." But start adding
in cross Sign comparisons between the Sun and Ascendant - and then we're
beginning to touch on those all important issues that are so near and
dear to our hearts.
