Transformation through Astrology
Astrology 101 and FAQs
Astrology is an ancient practice that goes beyond your daily horoscope. It’s a way to understand how the movements of celestial bodies, like the Sun, Moon, and planets, influence our personalities, behaviors, and life paths. At Dreamscape Healing, we believe astrology is a tool for self-discovery and personal growth. Whether you’re new to astrology or looking to deepen your understanding, our FAQs will help you explore the origins, concepts, and everyday applications of this powerful practice. Let’s uncover how the wisdom of the stars can guide you on your journey.
1. What is Astrology?
Astrology is the ancient practice of studying the movements and positions of celestial bodies, like the Sun, Moon, and planets, and how they influence our lives. It’s more than just your daily horoscope—it’s a tool for understanding who we are, why we react the way we do, and how we fit into the world. For me, astrology has been a map, guiding me through life’s ups and downs with a deeper sense of self-awareness.
2. Is Astrology the same as Astronomy?
Although astrology and astronomy both focus on the stars and planets, they serve different purposes. Astronomy is a science, studying the physical universe, while astrology is more like a spiritual or psychological tool, helping us understand the deeper meanings behind the movements of the cosmos and how they shape our personalities and lives. Both work hand in hand, but astrology is where I find meaning and direction.
3. Astrology Origins
Astrology has roots that stretch back thousands of years, crossing through cultures like ancient Egypt, Babylon, Greece, and India. It’s one of the oldest systems humans have used to understand their place in the universe. Over time, it’s evolved, but at its core, astrology remains a powerful tool for self-reflection and personal growth. Studying astrology through the Temple of Cosmic Astrology in Portugal allowed me to dive deeply into these origins and apply this ancient wisdom to modern life.
4. Are there any notable people that commonly utilize Astrology in everyday life
Astrology isn’t just for spiritual seekers. Many celebrities and public figures use it to stay grounded and make decisions. People like Katy Perry, Lana Del Ray, Lady Gaga, and even Carl Jung have found value in astrology, using it to understand their paths and overcome life’s challenges. It’s a tool that helps anyone, from everyday people like you and me, to the rich and famous, feel more connected and clearer about their journey.
5. What qualifies you as an Astrology expert? (I don't care for the word "expert"; maybe an Astrology Consultant.)
I’ve been fascinated by astrology my entire life, but five years ago, I began my formal study through the Temple of Cosmic Astrology in Portugal. Since then, astrology has become a way of life for me. It has not only helped me understand myself and my relationships better, but also given me direction when I’ve felt lost. I’ve worked with clients to help them find clarity and alignment in their lives through astrology. Whether it’s through personalized readings or validating someone's experience by teaching them to read their own charts, I’ve seen firsthand how astrology can illuminate things we might not have realized about ourselves or others before.
6. How do the signs fit in?
The 12 zodiac signs are the foundation of astrology, and each one represents a different set of traits, energies, and life paths. Whether you’re a fiery Aries or a grounded Taurus, your sign helps explain certain tendencies and motivations. But it’s not just about your Sun sign—there’s an entire chart of influences from other planets, which reveal a much deeper story about who you are. I’m passionate about helping others understand these layers to better navigate their lives.
7. What do the signs and planets mean?
Each zodiac sign and planet is unique, representing a different aspect of human experience and energetic compound. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be diving into each sign and relevant planet, one by one, to explore their traits, strengths, challenges, and how they influence us in different areas of our lives. Whether you’re curious about your own chart or someone else’s, we’ll cover it all, giving you the insights you need to better understand yourself and the people around you at a beginner level.
