Astrology
,
that ancient knowledge that studies the impact of the Moon, the Sun and the planets on humans, is also a language of symbols.
The discipline that, as the Kybalión says, reminds us that “as above, so below and as outside, so inside.”
Astrologers, consultants and fans alike all see the astral map as a path to self-knowledge.
For
Beatriz Leveratto
, astrologer, tarot reader and director of Escuela Consideral, “there are more and more people studying astrology because they discover that this language of the sky - far from 'predicting' what is going to happen to us - helps us better recognize cycles and learning. that we go through in our lives.”
In Leveratto's opinion, there are numerous advantages and opportunities to studying astrology.
The archetypes of the planets, signs and their combinations in
a person's renowned birth chart
allow those with the concern to find tools to know themselves better.
10 reasons to study astrology
Maybe you heard of someone you know who made their birth chart and finds synchronicities around them, maybe you don't know too much but you have seen astrological memes on the networks that refer to Piscean sensitivity or Virginian perfectionism, you may even know someone who performs rituals during the nights of the full moon.
In any case, astrology is more than the horoscope that became so popular in the 20th century.
Leveratto offered his 10 reasons why he recommends studying astrology if these symbolic languages have caught your attention:
1. Astrology gives us a
description of ourselves
that differs from the
personality
that we build to go out into the world and, at the same time, it calms us because it returns us to that personal essence that we always suspect ourselves to be.
2. Understanding our own birth chart helps us understand that our life has many more
potentials
than we thought it had.
The interpretation of the birth chart helps detect our potential, says Leveratto.

3. Astrology invites us to perceive that
personality
and
destiny
are part of the same thing: destiny (everything that has happened to us) is not alien to what we deeply are.
4. The purpose of meeting others
becomes evident
: all the relationships we have, even if they seem to be found by chance, are, in truth, appointments to discover ourselves.
5. Studying astrology helps us understand that
“the future cannot be predicted”
;
In reality, it helps us recognize life climates and understand risks and opportunities according to the planetary transits of each moment.

6. This discipline makes us see that
each age brings
treasures, risks
and
learning
to our existence
.
It even marks the life cycles we go through, as we see in transits such as Saturn returns.
7. It enables us to
redefine
the meaning of what we classify as “
successes or failures
” because we discover that when the plans we desired are frustrated, unexpected gifts usually arise for the soul.
8. It allows us to see that
our natal chart does not exist in isolation
, but is part of a large constellation along with other charts (those of our family and friends).
This implies that understanding ourselves is also understanding others.
Leveratto indicates that astrology also helps us understand the energetic configuration of those around us.

9. With this knowledge, astrology
can make us more considerate
and empathetic with our processes and those that other people go through.
10. This knowledge, supported especially by ancient archetypes,
far from ridiculing myths
or symbols, can bring relief to our concerns.
By approaching astrology, as happens for many with numerology or tarot, we can awaken a restorative and empowering sense for ourselves and others.
