What will come?

​

If you've taken the Astrology OWL, you must be aware of how the Birth Charts work, including the influence of Signs, Planets, Houses and Aspects (if not, I suggest you read back.). So naturally, once we know what makes us 'us', and what makes us tick, we can start looking at the future, and what to expect, as the planets will continue to move, and so will we.

​

In order to do so, we merge the information we already know, with the science of Astronomy. Thousands of years of knowledge allow us not only to look at the sky today and see the positions of the Planets, but also to determine where they will be in the future, based on their past movements. Since we know that it takes 12 years for Jupiter to orbit the Sun, and therefore to make a complete trip through the zodiac, what stops us figuring out what happens in March, 12 years from now, and the sign it will influence?

​

Nothing really! We start by making a chart of the planets' positions at a given moment in time, taking into consideration the information already learned from the Birth Chart, and we use the concept of Horoscope to detail this chart. And guess what you'll be doing today?!
