Billions of years ago there was darkness, then came the big bang and light, it was the time of the birth of our universe. As all that matter from big bang spread, it created millions of galaxies and billions of star systems. Our galaxy the milky way was created, in the outer spiral of its’ arm a star was born, it came to be known as our sun, and from a speck of a dust cloud, around our sun, our earth and rest of planets of our solar system formed. As the earth cooled over time, it formed an atmosphere. It took millions of years of cycles for water to run through the earth and as the temperature dropped life flourished, Soon we had a living breathing planet called earth. We humans are a part of those cycles. We come to this world from the unknown, where we had no sense of our existence, or conscience of our being alive. Our sun is at the center of our solar system, it is the giver of life and light. In astrology the sun is our core, our true being our light that needs to shine. When we look at the sun we see that it gives life and light to every living thing, it has no ego or self interest, It rules our heart, what it tells us is that we should be generous, open hearted and not be so self centered. In astrology Sun rules the fire sign Leo. All life was created from water and as humans our body contains 70 percent water. Life on earth couldn’t exist without it. We are emotional beings, we connect with each other through our feelings. Astrology tells us that the moon rules our emotions. Different cycles of the moon from the new moon to the full moon, to the last quarter moon effects how we feel. The moon rules the sign of cancer, and 4th house of home, family. It is visible at night, that’s when things get quite, we all go back to our homes, families, and withdraw. It tells us to take time off from the daily chaos of our lives, to love and nurture people around us. True happiness comes to us when we are willing to live according to our true nature of the sun(light, self) and share our feelings(the moon) with others.
