Understanding your birth chart through evolutionary astrology

We begin with the sun, moon, and ascendent. The signs of your primal triad give us the foundation of your personality - in this lifetime. Any planets conjunct these three points shed further light, along with aspects from planets to these points in the chart. But why do you have your sun in Aries, for example, your moon in Aquarius, and your ascendent in Sagittarius? Why would this person have such an extroverted personality with an independent vibe and fiery nature? Someone seeking freedom in its myriad of forms?

The answers can be found through an investigation evolutionary astrologers call nodal analysis - parsing out the meaning of the 'chart behind the chart.' The 'chart behind the chart' refers to a past life. Framed as reincarnation we are souls learning lessons from one lifetime to the next and each incarnation is a particular school. By investigating the nodal story, we understand various themes and archetypes of a past life which point to lessons we're learning in our current lifetime.

Understanding the birth chart using the techniques of evolutionary astrology help us understand why we are the way we are and the soul's major life lesson in the current lifetime in light of who we were and what we were up against in the past. Through predictive astrology (transits, progressions, and solar arcs) we learn when particular life lessons will come up for us, and harness the awareness of this 'astrological weather' in order to to make the most of these windows of opportunity. (The movements of the planets are constantly supporting our growth.)

The eloquent and mysterious language of evolutionary astrology is a gift for those seeking guidance at various turning points in their life. The cosmos is constantly guiding us. Astrologers are interpreters of its divine message.
