Astrology as the Language of Gaia

What does the natal chart show us?

From the human imagination, life has almost always been conceived as a path of self-improvement. We see this everywhere, not only in our human reality but in everything that lives on Earth. Self-improvement is, without a doubt, our clearest planetary characteristic.

Astrologically, if we had been born on Mars, we would see Earth as an extremely dynamic, diverse, creative, expressive planet... and the astrological house in which Earth is located would speak to us of an area of life where infinite potentialities are born. Of course... that perspective is still imagined by a native of Earth (me).

We are from Earth. That is our characteristic. Here at Substack, I will generally talk about humans because humans are the ones who read me (hehe) but in reality, all terrestrial beings have that Gaian energy.

In Greek mythology, Gaia is the personification of the Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral, sometimes parthenogenic, mother of all life. She is the mother of Uranus (heaven), from whose sexual union she gave birth to the Titans (themselves parents of many of the Olympian gods), the Cyclopes, and the Giants; as well as from Pontus (the sea), from whose union she gave birth to the primordial gods of the sea. Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.
