The Planets
The Sun
The Sun in your natal chart is the leading actor, the starring role and the one who produces the play. The Sun rules the sign of Leo. You may dream and hope to be a thousand things according to your Moon sign and the other planets, but the Sun is what you are. It’s your vitality and fuel; without the life-giving Sun, you wouldn’t be alive.
When you consciously inhabit your Sun sign you gain power. How do you do that? If you have the Sun in Leo, you can consciously seek center stage, take charge, be bold, honorable and magnanimous in a confident way, sure of your own power. If you’re a Cancer, seek to nurture not just your family but the whole world, wherever your love is needed and wherever you feel injustice.

The Planets
If you center yourself in your Sun sign, and use the power, strength and vitality of the Sun, you can become like a magnet attracting the fantastic energies of the planets like iron filings.You can use these planetary energies like ambassadors, sending them out on missions. Send out your ambassador, Mercury, when it is time to talk. Send diplomatic Venus, when attending an important social event or meeting. Use powerhouse Mars when action is needed. Be open to beneficent Jupiter, the planet where opportunity appears. Saturn shows us what we have to learn and how. These are just of the planetary energies at our disposal. The Karmic Astrology that I teach is about playing the game of life with more awareness of yourself, and the power you have at your disposal. It’s about becoming more conscious of who you really are. What you truly are is a spark of the Divine wrapped in the temple of a physical body for this lifetime, until it is time to be reborn onto the subtle realms where your learning continues. You, the higher you, then chooses the right moment for your rebirth, and the right parents to give you the experiences and opportunities you need. The natal chart is like a guidebook through the karmic lessons and opportunities of each lifetime. You can learn about and use this guidebook to find joy, fulfillment and your true destiny. |
