The Earth Sign in Astrology: Your Earthly Purpose
Happy Earth Day đź’š
Other than Life Path Numbers, the Earth Sign in Esoteric Astrology is actually great to understand your Earthly Purpose. Yes, there is a such thing as an Earth Sign if you ever wanted to know. Let’s talk about this, shall we?
To the impatient ones who wanna know how this works without context:
Go to Astro.com
Select “Extended Chart Selection” under Horoscope Drawings and Data
For Tropical and Sidereal you can select “Geocentric” or “Heliocentric”. It’ll automatically be set to Geocentric, select “Heliocentric”. I’ll explain why after.
Generate the chart
Be confused before I explain what the fuck this is
Now! We got to the confusing part, “why the fuck is there an upside down Venus on this chart?” “No houses???” “WHY DID MY SIGN CHANGE AGAIN ima quit this astrology shit y’all be doing too much” let me explain. This is esoteric astrology that deals with the Sun as the centerfold, and the planets outside as the orbiters around. A basic natal chart puts earth as the center, this is why it’s geocentric. Geo- is “Earth”. Heliocentric puts the Sun in the center. Along with this, the Earth Sign will always be close to the moon sign of course, because Earth has one moon, which is our moon.
Now, what the fuck is this for? Well how I give it is this is our grounding avatar. So think of this as the movie Avatar. You know how the Avatar is basically the other body? Well the Earth Sign is our earth body, our survival mode. They consider this Dharma,and no, this system not Vedic. They’re just using the concept to best explain the Earth sign as explained here:
“Earth’s position tells us where, in the practical reality of our daily lives, we may find our dharma/Earth-based responsibility. When in aspect to other planets, it adds the energy of the Third Ray. This serves to give a cohesive focus to Active Intelligence, in order to externalise those concepts and ideas so that dharma may be fulfilled.”
The earth sign in astrology is always going to be the opposite of your Sun sign in Esoteric Astrology, btw.
Now this is very simplistic of an explanation tbh. If you want to understand rays I highly implore you to check out the site here: http://www.mermaid-uk.net/earth_through_the_signs.htm
