~~~ Astrological ANALOGIES ~~~

~~~ The STAGE ~~~

One of my favorite Analogies when describing Astrology is that of the Stage. Life is like the theatre The Planets are the actors The Signs, the type of character they play and the Houses are where the scenes take place.

So let's set up a stage...... Get your Birth chart done by going to Astrodienst at http://www.astro.com/ (it's free and the most accurate I know) make sure you press the timezone change.

What is this thing called a chart? It is your stage, the setting of your life. Stick around and I will try to explain it. I will use many Analogies to help you. This site is for my creative side. Relax, I will be having fun.

I am an artist (Leo rising) I fill space, I like to use colors, choose some colors that are personal to you and follow my suggestions.

Let's look at this chart.... Where do we start? There is a big + across the circle the lines extend outside the circle. (Let's use a ruler and color these lines Blue) Most eye function starts at the left so let's start with the line extending outside the circle on the left side.......The beginning.

This horizontal line is the Horizon the furthest left side of this line is your ~~~~~~~~~~ Ascendant ~~~~~~~~~~ Sunrise on the day you were born, the home of your self-image. Your Rising sign is the sign rising at sunrise on the day you were born. The curtain opens and we see the stage.

The 1st thing we notice are the Actors The male star is the Sun let's color him a bold color (yellow) The female star is the Moon let's color her a soft color (flesh) then there are supporting actors (Planets)

the peace maker Venus purple

the athlete Mars red

the messenger Mercury red

(these could be the children)

the dreaded one Pluto colored black

grandmother & grandfather Uranus and Neptune, color them turquoise

mother and father Jupiter and Saturn color them brown

Where are they located on stage? 2 are sitting on the sofa (conjunct) one is center stage (on an Angle) 3 of them are standing together (stellium)

Next we will notice what they are doing. the 2 sitting on the sofa are counseling/relating.....7th house issue the one center stage is looking in the mirror.....1st house issue the 3 standing together are discussing/conversing......3rd house

What are they wearing? one of them is wearing the apron of the mother (Cancer) another is wearing the clothes of a gardener (Taurus) then there is the group of businessmen (Capricorn) the 2 on the sofa are dressed like monks (Sagittarian)

And so our stage is set...... the birth chart is only the 1st scene. There are many layers of charts there are many scenes to your movie. The 1st scene sets the theme of the movie.

Another Site that uses the Stage is....... The StarFamily http://geocities.datacellar.net/Athens/Delphi/5091/Astrology.html
