We have already spoken about the 10 Planets in a recent blog and the profound influence they have on our lives individually and collectively. They are the energy and influence that operate through the 12 signs of the Zodiac.
That's because each of the 10 Planets will be happily residing in a sign of the zodiac at any moment in time, and in a very specific one at the moment of our birth.
As sacred archetypes, the signs of the zodiac each represent an aspect of the relationship between heaven and Earth that creates life as we currently know it.
As within, so without As above, so below
Each sign of the zodiac relates to one of the Elements - Earth, Air, Fire and Water, so there are 3 signs in each element. When a particular planet connects and combines with one of the signs of the zodiac it will create very specific energy.
Each zodiac sign has a natural affinity and resonance with a number of crystals and minerals and these powerful unions generate a magical combination of energies!
So let's take a look at the signs of the zodiac in more detail. We start at the beginning of the zodiac year...
