An Introduction to Astrology and Zodiac Signs
Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies in order to interpret their influence on human affairs and terrestrial events. The zodiac is a narrow band of sky that extends 8-12 degrees on either side of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun across the heavens. The zodiac signs are the constellations that lie along this path.
There are 12 zodiac signs, each representing a different zodiac month of the year and associated with a particular set of characteristics. A person's "sun sign" is determined by date of birth and the position of the sun at the time of their birth. In addition to their sun sign, people also have a "moon sign" which is determined by the position of the moon at the time of their birth. Moon signs can give insights into a person's emotions and subconscious mind. The “rising sign” refers to the zodiac sign that was rising (or ascending, hence why it's also referred to as the “Ascendant”) in the eastern horizon when you were born.
The 12 zodiac signs are divided into four elements – Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) tend to be grounded, dependable and hardworking. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) like to go with the flow through life, can be more emotional and have a more intuitive approach to life. Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) tend to be logical, good communicators and versatile, though they can be indecisive at times. Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) tend to be passionate, creative and energetic.
The placement of planets in a person's birth chart can be used to interpret their personality and life path. Your sun sign represents your core personality, purpose, beliefs and the general way in which you move through life. For the purposes of this blog, we’re looking at how the characteristics of each sun sign might be supported by the Bach flower remedies.
What are Bach flower remedies?
Bach flower remedies were created by Dr Bach in the 1930s as a way of supporting emotional wellbeing through natural remedies. There are 38 different remedies in total, each relating to a different emotion. Some remedies are also known as type remedies i.e. they describe a certain type of person and can help those people when they go a little out of a balance and negative emotions come to the fore. They are a type of energy healing and are completely natural, safe and gentle and can be used for all ages.
With Bach flower remedies, it’s important to select the right remedies for you and your emotions as you’re feeling them at this present time. So have a read of these remedies and if they sound like a good fit then great! If not, take them with a pinch of salt and pick the remedies that best match you as an individual. You can select up to seven in a bottle at any one time.
