THE CHARTORY
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASTROLOGY
SUN
​
Our identity and vitality. It describes what we already are in essence but what will take the conscious striving of our life’s journey to make the self whole and integrated. It normally takes time for us to build a strong enough ego to express our full solar energy.
The desire to be ourselves, to become a certain kind of character, to experience one’s life as special and meaningful. The lifetime goal and task of recognising and consciously living that purpose.
​
How we perceive and interpret the world; the way we process informations, make connections and communicate.
It was an important function of consciousness-rising, offering us opportunities to dip in and out of various aspects of our psyche.
Where and how we are inventive, playful and adaptable. It gives us the ability to have new thoughts and perceptions which fuel and expand and how we experience life.
MERCURY
​
The drive to act upon your desires and goals. A healthy aggression, a life force, necessary to master life and define reality in order to create our individuality. The basis for achieving independence and breaking away from who or what would dominate or overprotect us.
Our anger; passion; sexuality; competitiveness. We need to find channels for this energy to feel confident and capable in the world.
MARS
​
Our reality principle: it connects us with elements like rules/restrictions and necessity of working hard and having patience. Also known as the great teacher, it’s where we need to work hard in order to master our lives; the potential for gaining sense of personal authority and responsibility.
Related with self-sufficiency; what we crave but feel awkward and insecure about; how and where we feel fearful, vulnerable, and where we experience limitations and frustrations.
SATURN
​
How and where we long to merge with and dissolve into something greater than ourselves, where we surrender and refuse boundaries. It can be connected with transcendence but also with escapism; where there is risk of being unrealistic and evasive, where we can deceive others and ourselves.
Our capacity for empathy and for connecting with spirituality. It can work as an access to the unconscious realm, where the possibility for the magical and intangible can be opened up.
NEPTUNE
​
Rules our basic need and habits, what we need to feel safe and nurtured. The tides and all biological and emotional rhythms of the individual. It represents how we can and must learn to nurture ourselves, finding a loving and compassionate reconnection to our instinctual natures, body and soul.
How “at home” we feel with ourselves, and this in turn effects how we respond to others and the environment
MOON
​
Self-definition through relationships. Venus symbolises our capacity to form and identify what we value, the basis for authenticity in our personal choices and standing by the consequences of that choice.
How we are able to derive pleasure and perceive beauty. Our ability to give enjoyment to ourselves and others
Also represents skills, talents and creativity which are innate.
VENUS
​
What we believe in; where we are optimistic and somehow greedy; where we seek to grow, expand and find meaning.
Our Jupiter aspects show the nature of our beliefs and how we express them, and we tend to philosophise about the things represented by those planets that Jupiter makes contact with. It’s aspects also talks about our urge for travel and education.
JUPITER
​
Gives us access to insights, flashes of knowledge that come from outside our conscious awareness; capacity for detachment and perspective.
Accepting and being empowered by our individuality and what makes us be and think differently. Our urge to rebel, question and break free from norms.
When it touches our personal planets, there is a drive to explore and express differently what that other planet normally represents or has represented in the past.
URANUS
​
Promotes the function of eliminating what no longer serves our life. A deep reservoir or concentrated power for deep transformations and regeneration, which can remain dormant for a long time, like a volcano.
How and where we feel compelled to fight for our survival, where we can be obsessive. Where we can feel threatened and, as consequence, put great effort into maintaining control.
