THE CHARTORY
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASTROLOGY
ARIES
The infant of the zodiac, the sign of new beginnings. Quite straightforward and uncomplicated, with courage and certain naivety.
Connected to a heroic vision. They need a challenge, a battlefield, a quest. A primal and spontaneous energy to conquer. It is forceful, instinctive and immediate.
Focus and determination that can sometimes be considered brutal and/or selfish if their need for assertion is not tempered and channeled into constructive outlets
TAURUS
A charming and gentle nature with an ability to delight in the good things of life and a real capacity for enjoyment. A very sensual/sensuous sign, also as in attractive but especially when it comes to the five senses and materiality. There is a need for contact with nature and developing certain intimacy with their own bodies.
Patience and determination to wait until the time is right for acting.
There can be issues sometimes when they become excessively rigid and stubborn in their comfort zone.
GEMINI
A busy, curious and youthful sign. Its strength is cross-fertilisation - making associations and bringing elements, ideas and people together. Particularly good at multi-tasking, fascinated by information and always learning.
There is a changeable and light tone to them, with a dislike for situations that might become too fixed or heavy and taking things too seriously.
They might need to watch out for mental restlessness and spreading themselves too thin with too many interests/activities
CANCER
An emotional and changeable nature - sociable, generous and exuberant at times, and then quite reclusive, defensive and potentially grumpy at others.
There is a strong need for feeling emotionally safe and forming familial groups that provide a sense of belonging: when they do feel safe, they can be very nurturing and protective, otherwise they can become quite demanding and sometimes manipulative. Very sensitive sign with a strong connection to past memories and family; but allso tenacious and tends to approach its goals subtly
LEO
Warmth, generosity and flair for the dramatic and receiving attention . There is a sense of being special and a need for being recognised, with a natural dignity and extravagance in the way they carry themselves.
The more insecure they are, the greater is the need for approval from others, which can become a substitute for a poorly developed sense of self worth.
They tend to be somewhat proud, preferring to be leaned on than to depend on others. Also, as a fixed sign, there is a tendency to resist change
VIRGO
Intelligent and analytical nature that is used in a practical way. There is a focus on being productive and making things that are useful; crafting and sharpening skills.
Associated with rituals, especially of work and the body. There is pleasure in creating order out of chaos, with an outstanding attention to detail.
Tendency of being critical, with others and mainly themselves. This tendency should be tempered to avoid excess of judgements and unhelpful pressure on themselves
LIBRA
Strong views about justice and harmony; they tend to be skilful mediators and have great sensitivity to considering the perspective from others - which in excess can make it difficult for them to stick to choices and values.
Very social, gracious and diplomatic. Libra is about style, structure, balance. Being ruled by Venus, there is a charm and attractiveness about it, as well as a certain androgynous quality.
Libra creates the contracts agreed between two people, be it in business or in personal relationships
SCORPIO
A magnetism that comes from a powerful emotional intensity, which tends to either strongly attract or repel. A sign of extremes, and there is often an obsessive quality that can be very creative, healing and but also sometimes destructive.
Like volcanos, they can be either dormant or erupting - reclusive and seemly quiet, or manifesting a certain intensity.
With a penetrating mind and a need to dig under the surface, they don’t tend to take life lightly and seems to be in a constant state of crisis and rebirth
SAGITTARIUS
It is the journey itself, not the goal, which is important here. Always looking for a greater meaning and new adventures.
A very passionate nature, flamboyant, spontaneous and reactive.
A great amount of physical energy with a certain restlessness gives them enthusiasm and some clumsiness. Straightforward and gregarious, their natural tendency to take space and their focus on the bigger picture can
sometimes produce a thoughtless or insensitive behaviour
​
CAPRICORN
Goal oriented, ambitious and effective, with a strong sense of hard work and discipline. Career accomplishments and recognition are very important and reflect their ability to plan strategically and handle responsibility.
Joy in conquering obstacles and building structures that brings stability and independence.
There could be a tendency of being a bit too serious, cautious and somehow conservative. When they are able to develop some lightness, their realistic and pragmatic nature tends to become more constructive and less rigid
AQUARIUS
Ability to think outside the box, to approach things from different angles than the norm. Very intellectual, they tend to have a progressive way of thinking and often engage in humanitarian and social issues.
Highly idealistic, especially around ideas of friendship and innovation.
There is a certain mental brilliance that can be very uncompromising and detached from feelings at times.
The more they accept and celebrate what is different in them, the less they will feel the need to fit in with what is considered normal or expected of them
PISCES
The chameleon of the zodiac, taking shape accordingly to the environment. There is a lack of boundaries that can be extremely creative and spiritual, with an ability to access the realms of fantasy, imagination and transcendence; but it can make them dangerously vulnerable and bring a difficulty to cope with the “harsh reality”, which can lead to self-victimisation and addictions.
There is a capacity for symbiotic merging with people and the environment, which can be very helpful and healing for others when properly harnessed and applied
