An Introduction to Astrology and Affirmations Astrology is a tool,
One we can use to understand people better,
Especially ourselves.
It is also a tool we can actively use to improve ourselves and the world around us.
It is not meant as a passive description of how people are,
Nor is it meant to be a predictor of how the future has to be.
The sign that the sun was in on your day of birth,
Your sun sign,
Is the default meaning for any reference to your sign when talking about astrology.
This is the sign everybody refers to when they say,
I am such and such a sign.
But it's not just about your birth date,
That gives you your sun sign.
The true depths of astrology needs your time and place of birth to identify all the characteristics of your birth chart.
If you know your full birth chart,
You will also know your sun sign,
Moon sign and rising sign.
These are often referred to as the big three of astrological interpretation.
You can choose to work with the affirmations for each of your sun,
Moon and rising signs.
Your sun sign represents your character,
Will,
Destiny,
Ego and primary motivations.
These are more overtly seen by yourself and others,
Although slightly less so if you were born at night.
Your moon sign symbolises your emotional direction and habitual responses,
As well as how you emotionally react or commit to something or someone.
These are less conscious,
Less seen by yourself and others.
They will however be slightly more evident if you were born at night time.
And then there is your ascendant sign,
Also known as your rising sign,
Which highlights how you present yourself to the world.
This is the sign that is coming up to the eastern horizon at the time of your birth.
The twelve tracts that follow this talk are sets of 108 affirmations for each sign.
I have a separate tract entitled,
Ancient Wisdom,
Why 108 Affirmations,
If you're interested in knowing more about that particular number.
Each set of 108 affirmations is a mixture of two groups of affirmations for your particular zodiac sign.
Firstly,
Affirmations for re-centering yourself.
This group covers the strengths of your sign.
These affirmations help you to remind yourself of who you are and what your strengths are,
For when you're feeling off-centre and want to reconnect with who you really are on your good days.
Secondly,
Affirmations for personal growth.
This second group is intended to balance some of the sign's less endearing qualities.
The affirmations are included to help you achieve some deep personal change,
Make a difference in how you're showing up in the world,
And improve your relationships,
Including your relationship with yourself.
The reason for mixing the two sets together is to help you feel comfortable in yourself with your strengths,
So that you are supported while feeling uncomfortable with the other affirmations that may stretch you a little.
So welcome.
Enjoy the set or sets of affirmations that apply to you.
And,
If you have any questions along your journey,
