Words have evolved over time, and the definitions and usage have grown to accommodate new life styles and experiences. The same is true for the astrological language. Whether giving a basic chart reading or ongoing counseling, humanistic astrologers see themselves as spiritual and life enhancing guides rather than as fortune tellers. Astrology is the study of man's response to planetary stimuli. Almost everyone knows what zodiacal sign the sun was in when they were born.
Some people have the notion that it is better to be one sign rather than another.
Yet, nothing could be further from the truth. Red in itself is neither good nor bad. Likewise, the sun signs have a wide range of interpretation. In astrology, each planet represents qualities and experiences common to us all. The Moon looms large in our cultural lore.
