“There is a philosophy, that the world we perceive through our senses, is only a version of a deeper reality. The Greek philosophers Socrates and Plato, taught that the world of our senses is a distortion, a mirage… like a shadow playing across a wall. Many historians believe that the Greeks were influenced by spiritual thinkers from India, where the idea of a deeper reality has a very long history. In Sanskrit, the word "maya” refers to this illusion and the selective view of reality we perceive through our senses. Beyond our manifest physical universe, there is a field of energy, information, and intelligence that orchestrates and governs the material environment. This ground state of creation is called the conscious energy field.
The conscious energy field does not exist independently of our perception of it. In other words, reality is a two-way street. We are both transmitters and receivers of information. We are both the creation and the creators of the conscious energy field, and are participants in a consciousness-created universe. This doesn’t mean that there’s no external reality, or that the universe literally takes place inside our heads. What it means is that the physical universe has no qualities or attributes in the absence of a conscious observer. For example, we see color as an attribute of physical reality. But color is not really inherent to reality. Instead, the phenomenon of color is a response made by the human nervous system to stimuli from the environment. We experience color as if it’s happening outside us, but we’re actually projecting it from inside us, and creating the phenomenon of color in the conscious energy field. This knowledge, combined with the power of intent, can allow you to create other phenomena in your life. By simply intending to create something, you have now begun to nurture that result in the physical world.“ -Deepak Chopra / Artwork by @tropicalgloom

inspiration is gathered during private moments, reflection, dream, and the emotion of personal experiences. solitude is essential, it’s also where most of the activity takes place, opening the door to intuitive and creative resources. beliefs and opinions are typically cultivated by their own time, devises, and personal experiences. social encounters are opportunities to reaffirm and secure these to the identity
“Astrology describes the basic, fundamental energetic patterns that inform our approach to life. But astrology says absolutely nothing about our degree of awareness, how conscious we are, or in other words, our level of psycho spiritual development. Astrology tells us what we have packed in our bags for our evolutionary journey, but not how much progress we have made along the way. That’s why people born at the same time – like twins – can often be so very different. It also helps to explain why some people seem to be tossed around by fate, while others have a greater degree of control. So the key to living out the best expression of our energies is to bring as much awareness and compassion to them as possible.”

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
The natal chart shouldn’t be something that conjures up feelings of restriction or being boxed into categories, but something to look at and think, what can I make from this? What talents and quirks and virtues have I got innately in me? And what can I put out into the world?
It is the foundation, the roots, and from it, we bloom.
Pisces are often described as soft, emotional and dreamy.But most of the pisces I met are rather cunning, ambitious,extremelly intelligent and don't like to show how they feel. Do you think that this is how pisces really are or is just a concidence?
lots of pisces also have lots of aries in their chart as well, and also aquarius, because these are pisces neighbouring sign so there tends to be an infusion with this triad… pisces is also the all seeing and reflecting cosmic kaleidescope, every salient zodiac quality is expressed through the final sign
