Reading the Future: What You Need to Know

Already in the 4th century BC, Aristotle, in the Poetics, placed the narrative arts at a higher level than history because the first touch on the possible and what could happen, when the second deals with what has occurred. According to him, the likelihood or necessity of the actions told give “faith in the possible “. And that’s exactly what happens with astrological narrative grammar. We believe in it, because we recognize a vision of the world that we have shared for centuries with the rest of humanity (or at least the part of humanity that dares to talk about it, or even rely on it). It would be the same with psychoanalysis, or any talk about ourselves that we trust, even if it is not fundamentally scientific. When it comes to the Career Horoscope the whole process is the same.

So, what makes some of us do not want to hear about an astro session?

Well, first of all because as in any unregulated practice, there are a lot of quacks. Then, according to Bernard Williams, English philosopher, we experience on a daily basis a “refusal to be duped”, a “concern not to let ourselves be abused”. And this happens always. Humans cannot individually see everything to learn everything, they share and divide tasks. In such a configuration, the lie or the fake news is generally badly seen.

Whether through novels, newspapers or reading a native theme, stories connect us to the world we share with our fellow men. These stories are both the currency but also the motto of our common culture. They convey it and transform it.

The question: “What is your astrological sign? “Is sometimes followed by it” And what is your ascendancy?”. But what is the ascendant? In the popular perception of astrology, the ascendant is supposed to “typify” a person, to give him character. But the difference between the sign of the ascendant and the sign of the Sun is little known or even ignored.

What is ascendant?

A homological image will allow you to compare the Sun and the ascendant. The Sun is at the small hand of a watch (the hours) what the ascendant is at the second hand (the seconds). And the big needle will you say? It’s the Moon, but it’s not the subject of this article! The ascendant in astrology records variations faster than the Sun, and therefore distinguishes us better than the Sun which is much slower (it takes 365 days to go around the zodiac when the ascendant only takes 24 hours). 

Suppose that 65,000 children are born in the country between March 21st and April 20th, when the Sun passes in the sign of Aries. All babies will be the same sign. The country has provided 65,000 Rams. This is a very generic character. I am Aries with 65,000 other people that year! How to escape this crowd? In popular astrology, it is the ascendancy that is put to use.
