Hi! I love your blog, i read the fall things series, do you have a 4 season planning? i would LOVE a winter or summer astro things. :)
a-z how they are represented in astrology: winter things edition
now that winter is officially underway let's do this!!! warning: i can be harsh, please don't take everything i say as predestined, astrology is possible outcomes not guaranteed ones. plus let's not forget orbs matter, dominance matters, etc. it's never just one planet or one asteroid that rule over an outcome or how things effect you. this is just a starting place for when examining singular objects in an entire galaxy. take what resonates and leave what doesn't!

why this is useful information: angels typically are put on the top of trees to ward off evil and because they are a higher power. neptune and lucifer are likely indicators of where you have to ward off evil evil and where you are guided by a higher power (even if that higher power is just your brain's ego).
why this is useful information: the nutcracker is one of the most popular winter ballets and ballet tends to be popular in the winter time because of it. venus and/or neptune can showcase your grace and elegance just like ballet can.

aries (1°, 13°, 25°) / leo (5°, 17°, 29°)
why this is useful information: the chimney was designed to let hot toxic gases and smoke out of the home so that no one would get smothered by the air in their own house during colder months. these symbols of the chimney/fireplace in your chart can indicate what toxic and smothering things need to be released from your space during the winter, so that you can survive without internal strain/stress.

why this is useful information: originally, coal was a heating element during the winter months that kept a home warm. later the tradition of coal in a stocking came to pass. namely the poor would put coal in their children's stocking claiming that a higher being was punishing them and made them poor, but at least they would be warm given this simple gift. ever since it has been a trend that santa would give coal to a bad child (typically a greed one) to teach them a lesson regarding the need to reexamine the world around them - such as noticing they weren't as bad off as they originally thought, they don't need as much as they previously assumed, etc. capricorn and saturn can thusly indicate where you can find warmth this season, and/or where you should be grateful for what you have and not be too greedy.

why this is useful information: gift giving is the name of the game at the end of the year - these gift objects can better help you understand the gifts you have in your life, what you like to receive, and even what you tend to gift to others.
why this is useful information: this is when we give and receive the most because it is post-harvest season. post-harvest suggests that we have reaped plenty of rewards throughout the year, and thusly we find we don't need it all so when share our goods with others. hence the season of giving and receiving. your 2h can help you better understand your tendencies of giving and receiving and you willingness to do so.
why this is useful information: the holidays. it stands to reason that the holidays are plentiful at the end of the year, thus my associating them with winter. venus in your chart can tell you about how you like to spend your holidays, what your holidays are like, and/or how you can have the best holiday possible.
why this is useful information: holly was originally believed to promote protection and good luck. thus when decorating your home with it, holly was thought to provide those who lived within to be protected and have good luck during the harshest part of the year. it was the prickly spines on the holly leaves that were thought to snag evil spirits before they could enter a home. what symbolizes holly in a chart can indicate where you have good luck and/or are protected during hard times.
why this is useful information: the most common part of the winter. it's cold, rigid, indifferent to our cause. it can really cause you to get off track, and prevent you from getting where you need to go. but ice is also a symbol of purity and even clarity... while it can cause you to get off track, or prevent you from getting where you need to go, it can also teach you to adapt. it is ultimately your choice as to how you approach ice - do you stay off course, do you let it stay in your way and prevent you from moving forward - it is up to you. what symbolizes ice in your chart can indicate where others my find you cold, rigid, or indifferent - it can also symbolize where you get off track or feel prevented from getting where you want to go.
why this is useful information: icicles are a sort of surrealism - they were once dripping water, because it was warm enough, but then it was suddenly cold and the dripping water froze slowly but surely. and now way above, sometimes unseen, are these sharp ice picks. my grandmother, when she little, was outside looking at icicles when one very suddenly detached and narrowly missed her eye - she does have a tiny scar on the bridge of her nose. icicle planets can show you where illustrious danger lies in your life and where the unseen can be dangerous in your life.
why this is useful information: TIMBER! a lumberjacks job is to harvest and transport trees. the wood of trees is what keeps us warm - no matter it's form, be it a home or a fire. mars in your chart can indicate where you facilitate warmth for yourself and others.
why this is useful information: they always say to keep your hands and feet warm in the winter because if you aren't doing so, you can risk frostbite and thus permanent nerve damage. mittens are one of those hand coverings that everyone despises because your dexterity is limited because of a lack of available digits but with mittens your fingers can actually share warmth. these mitten planets can tell you about where you might feel like you lack proper mobility in life, but at least you can preserve warmth.
why this is useful information: nutmeg is often considered a symbol of romance and affluence. there are a lot of stories surrounding why people use to carry it around. when going to gentlemen's clubs, in the 1800s, men would carry the whole spice gem in their pocket to promote luck both with women and with gambling. even earlier than that people would carry nutmegs in the middle ages to ward off the plague. jupiter the nutmeg in your chart can show you where you can have increased luck.
why this is useful information: peppermint is thought to soothe and refresh - which is why i'll assume that it's popular during the winter months, where nothing is really fresh or soothing naturally. peppermint planets can indicate where you can find refreshing and comforting things when all seems bleak and monotonous.
why this is useful information: these trees are conifers - they don't drop leaves to preserve their energy in the colder months. instead they preserve energy in their spines, which are more efficient to retaining water. what symbolizes the pine tree in your chart can help you to better understand how you can persevere during the harsh winter months, and how you can maintain your energy.
why this is useful information: the ribbon that adorn your presents are merely the garnish on your presents. no matter what research i do, it appears as though the ribbon was implemented in the 20th century and that is the extent of it. ribbon in your chart can show where your are meant to promote aestheticism.
why this is useful information: the sunsets earlier in the winter where i live and an early sunset is often associated with seasonal affective disorder for the majority of those living on this side of the united states. the 7h and it's ruler can tell you how an early sunset will effect you.
