| | The Journey of Your Soul IS Life's Greatest Adventure!
| | | | | | Hi Friend,
Last month we concluded our series on The Foundations of Soul Astrology with number 24: The Angel of Presence.
This month I thought we'd start looking at the deeper meaning of the symbolism of the signs. I have always been fascinated by the symbology of the zodiac. Why is a sign represented by a certain symbol, and what does it mean?
In ancient times people organized their days very differently than we do. They were much more connected to natural cycles, and didn't have a man-made construct of time and numbers. Because 'thirty seconds' was meaningless to them, in ancient scriptures you will read things like 'the length of time it would take an ant to walk down your nose'!
Because large numbers like milllions and billions were incomprehensible to ancient people, they would say things like 'a number equal to the grains of sand in the Ganges river'. This might seem strange to us, but we can see that using symbology was a way of life for ordinary people.
When it came to understanding the energy dynamics of astrology, symbols were used that represented an underlying energetic reality. I love diving deeper, researching the origins and meaning of our current zodiac and I love to share what I am learning with you.
I created a sister website at https://astrology-symbols.com where I started to gather all this research into one place, and because of family commitments taking up more of my time, I never got to complete all twelve zodiac signs.
I still think this is a very valuable resource for ongoing reference so this year I'm revisiting the project in the hope that we will have covered all twelve signs by the end of the year! If you would like to support the project please go to astrology-symbols.com and share the site through your social media.
So here we go with a deep dive into the symbology and deeper meaning of the zodiac signs, starting with this month's sign Capricorn...

| | The Deeper Meaning Surrounding The Symbolism of Capricorn
The sign of Capricorn is possibly one of the most mysterious of the entire zodiac. Capricorn is associated with business, finance, ambition, the political sphere, accounting and resource management, yet on a spiritual level Capricorn is also the sign of the initiate and the disciple. It seems that this enigmatic sign is the most earthy and the most spiritual at the same time!
Understandably for such a mysterious sign, there are various symbols used to depict the zodiac sign of Capricorn: the goat, the sea-goat, the crocodile and the unicorn. Capricorn is associated in a material sense with ambition, and in a spiritual sense with ascension.
Whether we are talking about the material world or the spiritual plane it seems that Capricorn's job is to climb to the top!
(including the Capricorn symbols of the goat, the crocodile, the unicorn, the sea-goat and the symbolism of the Capricorn glyph)

Best Wishes,

| | The Complete Foundations of Soul Astrology
This e-mail series is also available as a book, in paperback or Kindle.
Sometimes when you are studying a complex topic like Soul Astrology, it can be very useful to have all the information in one place for reference. For this reason I have included an index at the back of the paperback version so it is easier to look up specific topics.
Some people prefer to read a book in their own time rather than waiting for monthly instalments through the newsletter. If this is you then you may like to get the complete series now, in paperback or Kindle.
The Complete Foundations of Soul Astrology will not only deepen your knowledge of how astrology works, but also uses astrological principles to help you to understand your own true nature, your Soul's path and your life purpose.
A priceless read for those on a spiritual journey.
Available in paperback and Kindle... |

by Ruth Hadikin
Unveil the mystery of your Soul with this powerfully liberating guide to your own Soul Sign, based on the teachings of the Tibetan master.
This series of Kindle short reads has one for each Soul Sign. The section on your Soul Sign is adapted from Chapter Three of Soul Astrology. If you've read Soul Astrology the Soul Sign description will be the same, however the following sections will be new to you:
• Personality and Soul
• Soul Recognition
• Personality and Soul Expressions of your Soul Sign
• Your Unique Soul Meditation
IMPORTANT: This Kindle short read is an excerpt from the book Soul Astrology and is presented here as an introduction for beginners - if you are already familiar with your soul sign and/or have read Soul Astrology this short extract will be repetitious for you.
That said, even if you have read Soul Astrology, you might still find this handy Kindle short read to be a useful reference guide - especially your unique Soul Sign meditation!
