An Overview of the History of Western Astrology

---

**as presented by astrologer Chris Brennan (date ranges are approximate)

Mesopotamian Astrology [2000BC-100BC] – Focus on Basic Mundane Astrology which then develops further into the 12 Sign System and we see the use of certain Aspects

Egyptian Astrology [2000BC-100BC] – Focus on simplistic Mundane Astrology utilizing Decans and Fixed Stars

Hellensistic Astrology [100BC-600AD] – The 4 Fold System of Astrology is developed and around the 1^st or 2^nd Century AD the decision is made (by astrologers themselves) to detach the Zodiac from the Constellations in order to counteract the effects of Precession

               ~100AD some form of contact is made with the Indian subcontinent and a merging of Hellenistic astrological techniques with the pre-existing forms of Indian Astrology result in modern Indian(Vedic/Jyotish) Astrology which continues in an unbroken line to the modern era

Medieval Astrology [700AD-1200AD]

              Phase 1: Persian Astrology [700AD-1000AD] – Persian Astrologers salvage what is left of Hellenistic Astrology following the Fall of the Roman Empire, translate it into Arabic, and over the years develop it further

              Phase 2: Latin Revival [1000AD-1200AD] – Translation of Arabic works into Latin begins to occur in the Iberian Peninsula, astrology is re-introduced to the Europeans, and by the 13^th Century Medical Astrology is common practice

“Renaissance” Astrology [1300AD-1600AD] – The advent of the printing press allows astrological knowledge to proliferate throughout Europe, but with the rise of the Age of Enlightenment and its focus on the scientific method and reductionism astrology is shunned and eventually dies out in the western world

Modern Astrology [Late 1800’s-2000AD] – The discovery of the outer planets ushers in a new interest in astrology, and the work of occultists and theosophists revive the tradition in mass consciousness. During this era “Sun Sign” astrology is born and we see the advent of “Newspaper Horoscopes”

Post-Modern (Revivalist) Astrology [1980AD-Current Day] – Proliferation of depth-psychology, experimentation with new techniques, and the revival of ancient astrological traditions usher in a new era of astrological enlightenment. The rise of mergers of eastern and western traditions, as well as ancient and modern techniques is seen

Eventually you hit that point where you’re no longer interested in convincing people that how you feel and who you are is valid and decide that as long as you know your truth and what works for you, that’s what matters.

planets in the 8th house: things we are painfully aware of

[isastrobitch]

sun in the 8th: painfully aware of themselves. People with sun in the eighth struggle allowing others to see them as who they truly are, they are very aware of the power of their actions and it sometimes keeps them from doing new things. This natives want all or nothing, they crave to taste and feel everything the world has to offer but are scared of it as well. All that intensity can be abit overwhelming to them and others, which is part of why they don’t let it show to anyone in fear of pushing them away. Strong transformations of the self through intense experiences.

moon in the 8th: painfully aware of their emotions, they know exactly what they are feeling most of the time, which causes them to have an iron grip on their emotions. This people feel so deeply it hurts them. Very aware of their sexual needs and fears. Painfully aware of how emotionally attached they are to others.

mercury in the 8th: painfully aware of their thoughts. what they think of their surroundings is always there; eating up their brains, but they feel unable to say it, it’s like their greatest secret. They move through the world in such a controllled way it sometimes feel like they are trapped in their own bodies. Good manipulators and intuitively know what others want to hear.

venus in the 8th: painfully aware of love. They see it everywhere, affection. But they think of it as weakness. Natives are faithful to the core, but they don’t believe other people are the same, more than anything: they don’t believe on the reliability of emotions. Love seems fickle and shortlived to them, and definitely not worth the pain. Extremely aware of their sensuality and magnetism. 

mars in the 8th: painfully aware of their wounds and physical desires. There’s a warrior in every person with this placement, but they don’t want to let it show, they don’t want to let all that pent up aggression out for the world to see. They don’t want to be controlled by their body. Warriors at their core, they won’t just stand and watch injustice or others in pain.

jupiter in the 8th: painfully aware of their beliefs. They usually see the world as a dark place and rarely trust anyone, this causes them a lot of pain because it makes them feel isolated from everyone and can be prone to depression. Getting out of their comfort zone is a struggle, since they fear the unknown. This people love to dive into the darker and deepest side of philosophy. Very aware of death’s nature.

saturn in the 8th: painfully aware of their flaws. They can be overly controlled and self conscious, limits are a cause of distress. Insecurities are hidden from the public at all costs, which makes them have more power over the individual. This people hate to be seen as “weak” so they keep vulnerability under a mask of toughness and stoicism. Amazing self control. 

uranus in the 8th: painfully aware of their differences, this natives know how they stand out in the crowd and in most cases becomes a source of great insecurity. They don’t believe they fit anywhere and sometimes keep themselves from belonging. Can have immense control over the masses and are hard to influence.

neptune in the 8th: painfully aware of dreams and vulnerability. Their dreams are kept under lock and key and rarely shared with the world since they are seen as a weakness and a taboo subject. This people feel like an exposed nerve, feeling everything and being affected by it so deeply they rather appear emotionless and cold. Prone to being psychic.

pluto in the 8th: painfully aware of power. They know the power others have over them and their position in the world. They are painfully aware of the evils around them and this can make them quite paranoid and distrusting. Primal insctints are hidden but deeply felt, they are survivors at their core. Great emotional and physical strength.

            !!!!!!!!PLEASE HELP TO SPREAD THIS!!!!!!

Gay men in Russia are being rounded up and put into concentration camps.  I’m so beyond upset and I’m asking you to help spread this information in hopes that it will bring this disgustingly horrible situation more media attention and put additional pressure on Russia to investigate these camps and shut them down.

There is a petition to stop the persecution here and the Russian LGBT Network has a donation page here (it looks pretty legit to me and is associated with a Facebook page with 12,000+ followers, but if anyone can find more information confirming the validity of it that would be beyond appreciated.)

These men are all the way across the world but they’re part of my community and they need our help. They don’t have the same luxuries (basic human rights) that we do and they are in desperate need for us to help speak up for them. 

You can read the full article here or google the topic for more information. Please.

edit: i have updated this post with more info here

what your moon sign says about you

[glitteryastrology]

the moon sign is so important.  it’s the first thing i want to mention to people learning about astrology, because although your chart is much like a jigsaw puzzle, your moon sign is one of the biggest pieces.  much like the sun sign, it makes up a vast amount of who you are.  your moon sign rules over your emotions, your impulses, and the deepest, most personal version of you.  your sun sign is who you are when you’re in your element, most comfortable, around the people you trust.  your moon sign is the inner workings of you every single day.  the decisions you make, the way you perceive your emotions, and your viewpoint on the world are all products of your moon sign.  so learn a bit about yourself!

☽ moon in aries ☾ : if your moon is in aries, you’re quite a character!  passionate, impulsive, and excitable, you are fast paced and see nothing as impossible!  you’re bound to have very strong emotions, be them good or bad, and you let them rule your every decision (though your decisions can hardly be called decisions; you just do what you want).  nothing is ever boring with a moon in aries around!
good qualities: passionate, spontaneous, ambitious, optimistic
bad qualities: impatient, moody, hot-headed, dramatic

☽ moon in taurus ☾ : if your moon is in taurus, your personality can be best described as warm.  you are affectionate, patient, and kind, and you’re a slave to routine.  you want every day to be predictable, because you’re most comfortable following a pattern!  your love for your family, close friends, and partner is gentle and unwavering, and you will stick by the people you care about through thick and thin.
good qualities: kind, loyal, frugal, fair
bad qualities: stubborn, materialistic, unforgiving

☽ moon in gemini ☾ : if your moon is in gemini you’re one of the most fast-paced moon signs.  sociable, funny, and friendly, you’re much like aries in your impulsiveness, but unlike the fire sign which is unwavering, you’re an ever-changing person.  you probably find yourself taking on traits of those around you, and constantly reinventing your style, because you can’t stand being the same person every day!
good qualities: interesting, funny, organized, intelligent
bad qualities: noncommittal, restless, rude

☽ moon in cancer ☾ : cancer moons are the most in-touch with their feelings of all the moon signs.  if your moon is in cancer, you always know what you’re feeling, and always know what the people around you are feeling as well.  you have great intuition, and that combined with your maternal nature makes you a wonderful friend, partner, and parent.
good qualities: caring, empathetic, loyal, nurturing bad qualities: pessimistic, insecure, finicky, self-absorbed

☽ moon in leo ☾ : if your moon is in leo, you’re incredibly generous. you express your emotions by giving all you can to others, especially those you love. you enjoy showering those around you in gifts, compliments, and affection, but you expect to be treated the same! you love to help others, and give some of the best advice. you feel your best when surrounded by people who care about you, and probably hate being alone. 
good qualities: organized, loving, generous, responsible 
bad qualities: dramatic, needy, bossy, materialistic 

 ☽ moon in virgo ☾ : if your moon is in virgo, you’re obsessed with detail and simplicity all at once.  you like to keep a routine that’s to a t, but prefer to walk through life without doing anything incredible.  you’re happy just blending in with the crowd, and doing small things to make a difference!  you show your love in tiny gestures, like packing someone’s lunch or doing their laundry, and prefer not to get too sappy about it.  you’d rather not make a big splash about anything!
good qualities: reliable, organized, selfless
bad qualities: insecure, withdrawn, apathetic

☽ moon in libra ☾ : if your moon is in libra, you want someone by your side at all times.  you feel most comfortable when you’re in a relationship and quite insecure when you’re alone.  you usually want everything to be perfect, almost unrealistically so, and you stress a lot about the little things.  you have great social skills and likely lots of friends, and love being surrounded by them.
good qualities: adaptable, charming, sympathetic
bad qualities: overindulgent, indecisive, dependent to a fault

☽ moon in scorpio ☾ : if your moon is in scorpio, you’re intense in everything you do. from your interests to your relationships to what you eat for dinner, everything is a big deal. you probably like horror, mythology or astrology, and take great interest in the strange and the unknown. you have a constant thirst for excitement, and if there is none, you’ll create it. your presence is unmistakable.
good qualities: passionate, charismatic, ambitious, complex
bad qualities: possessive, dramatic, hot-tempered, may be disloyal

☽ moon in sagittarius ☾ : if your moon is in sagittarius, you are a free spirit. a sagittarius moon loves adventure, excitement, and change in their life. if any sign is likely to be a modern-day nomad that lives in a camper and crosses country, it’s a sagittarius moon. a sag moon living a conventional life is the type to pick you up at three a.m. to take you to mcdonald’s. they can’t stand doing things the same way twice.
good qualities: fun, fast-paced, spontaneous, passionate
bad qualities: irresponsible, flighty, rude, unreliable

☽ moon in capricorn ☾ : if you have a capricorn moon, you are an old soul. you’re practical and constantly striving for success, and you’re so driven that you’re bound to get where you want to be. emotions are not your strong suit, and many capricorn moons may remain single throughout their life, simply because they’d rather worry about themselves. reserved but not selfish, a cap moon is not very social.
good qualities: ambitious, intelligent, logical, even-tempered
bad qualities: insecure, unaffectionate, anxious

☽ moon in aquarius ☾ : if your moon is in aquarius, you march to the beat of your own drum. an aqua moon feels set apart from others, and tends to act as an outsider looking in; they don’t believe anyone can truly understand them. they’re funny, independent, and kind, and their intuition and observance makes them some of the best therapists, case workers, and even lawyers.
good qualities: independent, intuitive, idealistic, funny
bad qualities: egotistical, moody, distant

☽ moon in pisces ☾ : if you’re a pisces moon, you have incredible compassion that’s unmatched by any other sign. you identify with everyone in some way, because you have a sense of empathy and don’t struggle to walk in another’s shoes. you’re dreamy, optimistic, and romantic, and sometimes you lose touch with reality. you may be referred to as a “sponge”, because you soak up the emotions you’re surrounded by, and it’s easy for you to lose yourself in others’ problems, forgetting to take time to care for yourself first.
good qualities: empathetic, selfless, thoughtful, idealistic
bad qualities: impracticle, dependent, sensitive, may be a doormat

[astrolocherry]

I wanted to correct some things and explain everything

Aries is of course full of heart, Mars rules the blood and desire and passion, the Aries is lead by the instincts of heart, purely innocent and childlike, unashamedly devoted and loyal, the heart of a child 

And Venus is ruled by Taurus, the heart could only be overflowing, to full, because everything is pure, sensual love reflected back at Taurus

And Gemini is full of love because there are two in there, two people full of love, double the heart 

Compassion, motherly love, and devotion guides Cancer, they have romantic and sensitive hearts, they see soul and innocence in everybody, they want to repair everyone’s heart 

And Leo rules the heart, the Sun rules Leo, everything orbits the sun, which is the heart of the solar system, the Leo vibration is the pure, creative love of God

Virgo’s soul ruler is the moon, the motherly love that transcends all space and time, Virgo operates on behalf of others, devoting themselves to larger-than personal causes, their labour is that of pure love

Libra is of course, the pearl of Venus, the radiance of love, acceptance, kindness, and relationship. Libra is the channel of heavenly love, a romance with angels

There is nothing Scorpio approaches without heart, its so powerful and intense it consumes and devours anything tempting, love, passion, people, the heart’s desire expands infinity 

Sagittarius exhibits the heart of the universe, God’s secret lover, they fall in love with everything, they make love with sunrises and salt water and culture and music 

Capricorn exhibits the noble heart, devoted to larger-than personal causes, a motherly heart that is programmed to beat o behalf of others, brave and big, innocent 

Aquarius is the heart of humanity, the lover of the natural kingdom, mystical life, and the collective, there is so much love in Aquarius that it must be bottled, preserved and scattered across humanity 

Pisces is the vibration of pure love. Neptune is the spiritual sun so Neptune is the beat of the heart drum that echoes through the whole universe, Pisces finds true love, pure true love, with anything and everything, love surrounds Pisces when they truly cherish those soul eyes…

finalfantasy37 asked:

what do you think would be the signs' favorite art forms? i always associate virgo with literature and leo with theater

astrolocherry answered:

yuh definitely. virgo would be literature, very refined, literature, same with Gemini - poetry, witty words, labyrinths of word tunnels 

Aries likes experimental, real life art, think of fire works displays, light shows in cities etc; 

Taurus is music… Taurus rules the vocal cords, the sound of song, also they have musical ears. 

Cancer is art like portraits and quiet scenes and water colour 

Leo is yup cabaret, broadway, all the lights and sounds. And Libra dancing, the grace and airiness.

Scorpio maybe tattoo and body mod. It makes a statement. Sagittarius stuff like acrobatics and circus acts 

Capricorn appreciates architecture….. Aquarius maybe festivals, raves, and the colours and sounds the collective in celebration creates

Pisces is all forms of entrancing creativity - music, art, poetry, cinema, anything where symbols are conveyed to the collective and any portal of escapism
