You probably know what your sun sign is, but there are so many other parts of your chart that represent an aspect of your personality and your self-esteem. A deeper understanding of astrology can be a tool through which you learn more about yourself, your needs, and the way you express yourself. But how does it all work? What is a zodiac sign and how do they relate to the planets? Well, astrologer Lisa Stardust has just created “The Astrological Deck,†an interactive way to read and understand your birth chart. “I’ve always been a visual learner,†Stardust says, explaining the inspiration behind her decision to create this deck. “When I learned astrology, I made small diagrams and pictures to remember the different planets and signs.”
Each deck has three parts: 70 cards, an interactive birth chart, and an instruction booklet. The birth chart, or your birth, comes in the form of an interactive wheel that explains what each house in your chart means. (Your birth chart is basically a map of the planets in the sky at the exact time of your birth, and houses are an element of astrology that helps explain the layers of our personality.) The charts are divided into different categories: planets, zodiac. signs, asteroids, aspects, eclipses and transits, retrogrades, zodiac elements and lunar phases, giving you easy to understand definitions that will help you interpret how the energy of the planets and constellations is reflected in our individual lives.
Planets: All planets play a role in your birth chart: there is one in each zodiac sign and one in each house when you are born. Each planet represents a different aspect of your personality, for example, Mercury is the planet of communication and where it is in your birth chart represents how you communicate and express yourself to others.
Zodiac signs: These signs, like Leo or Pisces, and their locations in your chart create a unique profile that helps explain your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to your personality traits.
Asteroids: There are thousands of asteroids in the sky at any given time, but the main ones that astrologers interpret are Pallas, Juno, Vesta, and Ceres. Knowing your asteroid locations can help you deepen your understanding of your birth chart. For example, the placement of Pallas in your birth chart represents how you approach problem solving.
Aspects: One aspect is the angle the planets make with the other planets in your chart. The five main aspects are the trine, the sextile, the conjunction, the opposition and the square. How our planets affect our behavior is related to their location in our map and the relationships they form with each other.
Eclipses and transits: Eclipses activate lunar nodes and appear in our birth chart as north and south nodes. These north nodes represent the lessons we are meant to learn while we are here on Earth and the south node reveals what we have learned from our past lives.
Transit occurs when a planet passes through a house ruled by another planet in your birth chart. For example, for example, Mars was in Leo when you were born. When another planet, like Mercury, passes through this house, you may notice a change in mood.
Retrogrades: The planets don’t actually reverse their orbits, but sometimes, from our perspective here on Earth, it can appear as if they are slowing down and backing up. When this happens, astrologers call it a retrograde, and they’re usually tied to times when we’re forced to reassess our past in order to learn new lessons.
Elements: Each zodiac sign is linked to an element: fire, earth, air and water. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are fire signs and tend to be passionate and expressive; Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are earth signs known to be more practical; Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are air signs and they are super social and intellectually curious; and Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are water signs and are known to be emotional and intuitive.
Moon phases: Every 29.5 days, the moon goes through eight cycles. The current phase of the moon and the cycle the moon was in when you were born affects your state of mind and mood.
Stardust recommends viewing your birth chart details online (you’ll need your date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth), then using the cards in the game to help you understand your investments. “For example, if you see that you have an ascending Aries, you can take the Aries card and define what it means to be an Aries in the first house,†says Stardust, “And then, beyond that, you can talk about what it means to also be a fire and a cardinal sign. ” Basically, it’s really about putting all the pieces of your astrological puzzle together to better understand yourself and others.
According to Stardust, this deck is for everyone, whether you’re a newbie or more advanced astrologer, to help you understand yourself and the world around them on a deeper level. “I think it’s a fun board game,†Stardust says. “Or you can get a group of friends together and read each other’s boards. It’s a great way to get to know people, as well as a way to connect socially with people.”
