Not sure where this topic goes, if you can figure it out please inform me if you move it.
I've been interested in astrology for about 9 years. (got into it when I was 16)
I've studied it to the point that I can sometimes tell people's signs. I've noticed as well (as fishy as this may sound) that certain astrological signs have physical traits. (some are harder to tell than others, though based on appearance it is easy for me to point out a capricorn and...that's about it lol but some leos, scorpios, tauruses and aries can have fairly obvious physical traits btw these usual physicaltraits are from my own analysis not from listed physical traits of different signs)
Anyways, what I'm getting at is...these astrological profiles provide people's base behaviour/desires etc. However when they submit...to a system which encourages them to control and reject their base desires in favour of the regulations of that system...it is difficult for me to discern their sign...
Is this perhaps one of the miracles of Allah's deen?
I have noticed that although different signs have different likes and dislikes in regards to relationships with other signs
all of them have "pluses and minuses" which are subjective and appreciated and rejected according to the likes and dislikes of other signs
for example as an Aquarius, I'm not too fond of Cancers. However one thing I can appreciate about them, is that they are good cooks (the best cooks will tell you one of the most important ingredient is love) and I can appreciate someone who puts love into making sure someone's culinary experience is marvelous. And also they can be manipulative, this can sometimes be beneficial I guess, in stopping someone from worrying about certain trivial things, manipulating them to not worry etc.
As an air sign of course I don't usually get along with water signs, but with Scorpio (for whom I dislike their obsession with revenge and their reluctance to forgive, as well as their tendency to be rude and take part in rude humour) I can admire their loyalty and inquisitiveness.
And these good traits, perhaps are made manifest by Allah in each sign, but to control and nullify the bad traits, we must submit to the Deen which encourages us to maintain our good traits
Being completely honest, I think all of us can say when we read certain commandments in the Qu'ran we perhaps may say "I agree with/like this passage, this passage is something I believed in practicing before I decided to become muslim/even read the Qu'ran. This passage confirms a goodness/ethic that I want to practice" Along with passages which go against our desires but we must practice anyways. For example as an Aquarius I feel no restraint in challenging and questioning authority but this is must be controlled, as I must respect and obey my parents and not sound ungrateful and negative even though my desires as an Aquarius is to challenge them loudly and provocatively. A Leo may take exception with the verse which says not to remind people of their charity, as lovers of the spotlight they may find it difficult to deal with this but we have to control our desires and submit to the Deen. Being a Leo though, one of their good traits made manifest by Allah is their generosity and willingness to be charitable.)
My other point, is that all signs have negative traits, but by submitting to Allah and the Deen, we can nullilfy these negative traits. There are commandments in the Deen which strengthen and encourage the erasure of negative traits for each sign.
For example, patient perseverance can drastically change an Aries and practicing it can make him/her unrecognizable to someone who would otherwise very easily spot an Aries.
For example, enduring insult and jeering for them practicing their religion or their ways and staying on the right path can drastically change a Leo (they love compliments but cannot stand insults) and practicing this can make him/her unrecognizable to someone who would otherwise very easily spot a Leo. Patient perseverance can also help a Leo (again, in regards to insults)
For example, a good response is better than a bad response and forgiving being better than desiring revenge is something that can drastically change a Scorpio and practicing it can make him/her unrecognizable to someone who would otherwise be able to very easily spot a Scorpio.
For example, speaking kind words and covering faults can drastically change a Virgo (they can be very critical, sometimes I guess in an insensitive way and point out many faulty things) and practicing it can make him/her unrecognizable to someone who would otherwise be able to very easily spot a Virgo.
Anyways, this is my natal chart = p
if you want to make one for yourself, go to
www.alabe.com/freechartyou have to enter your birthdate, the place of birth and the time you were born (this might be hard to find out, but you only need it for the rising sign, it is plotted accordign to the time you were born...if you don't enter the time you were born, you will get an inaccurate rising sign, ignore it)
the first five planetary alignments are the ones that describe your immediate personality the most, the rest of the planetary alignments do not apply to an immediate personality.
Rising sign: applies to the personality you
portray as opposed to your actual personality.
Sun: your actual personality
Moon: the way your emotions work
Mercury: the way your mind works
Venus: your love style
Mars: your energy style
some may say they can see these traits in my natal chart being manifested sometimes, I hope and pray to Allah that I can control the negative desires of mine.
By the way, the mars in Aries for me could not be more true. People who noticed my many edits and the messages that previous messages which I edited will notice this. And some of the venus is true as well, especially the part about pursuing a person I like lol though that hasn't really happened for a while now
Rising Sign is in 15 Degrees Leo
You love to be the center of attention and you want to appear
strong, confident and dominant. You are very proud of yourself,
sometimes quite vain even. When all around you are bedraggled and
falling apart, you look like a million bucks! Very dignified and
honorable, you enjoy the power and privilege, but not the
responsibilities, that come with leadership. You are very idealistic
but can also be quite stubborn. Others impress you only if they have
integrity (but wealth, power and influence can also turn your head).
You prefer rich, elegant surroundings and possessions, and will try
to acquire them as your budget allows. Physically, you are very
impressive - - at your best you have a regal, charismatic demeanor
and bearing. Try not to be such a showoff!
Sun is in 21 Degrees Aquarius.
You get bored with the status quo and are generally open to new
things and ideas. An individualist and a free spirit, your friends
are quite important to you as long as they do not try to tie you
down by making too many emotional demands on you. Your thoughts are
offbeat and you're a bit eccentric, but not always very changeable.
As a matter of fact, you can be quite stubborn at times. Very
fair-minded when dealing with large groups or broad issues, you are
not always emotionally sensitive to the needs of individuals.
Extremely objective, with good powers of observation, you would be
qualified to study technical and complicated subjects, like science,
computers or maybe even astrology.
Moon is in 28 Degrees Libra.
Affectionate, warm and friendly, life must be a 'beautiful'
experience for you. Unpleasantness should be avoided at all costs.
You tend to overlook other people's faults and you would rather give
in than fight. You are uncomfortable with strangers, but at ease and
sociable with friends and associates. Indeed, you would rather
socialize than work - - you can use your prodigious charm to avoid
unpleasant tasks. You need the support and assistance of another in
order to get you started on any new project - - you are not a
self-starter. Be careful of a tendency to be overly self-indulgent
(i.e., lazy). Your refined aesthetic sensibilities attract you to
music, dance, art and any other cultured activity.
Mercury is in 15 Degrees Aquarius.
You tend to be very opinionated - - you have strongly felt notions
about things and are quite vocal about expressing and defending
them. Yet you are also an original thinker - - you enjoy shocking
others with your offbeat, original thoughts. You appreciate and need
mental and intellectual stimulation. Your judgment is usually fair
and impartial - - you can be a good critic because you can remain
objective and unemotional about most things.
Venus is in 07 Degrees Aries.
You are a very affectionate person but you hate to be tied down. You
are more than willing to be the aggressor in initiating new
relationships. Indeed, once you have set your sights on someone, you
tend to pursue him or her ardently and passionately. But you do
demand your own way in a relationship. Try to give in to your
partner's needs and desires once in a while.
Mars is in 05 Degrees Aries.
You are very independent and self-assertive, and you have lots of
physical energy. You are not satisfied unless you can be the first
to do something. As such, you are more comfortable in leadership
positions than you are as an underling. When you are challenged by
anyone for anything, you delight in the competitive process and will
fight long and hard for your beliefs. You are bold and courageous
and often act without thinking. At times, in your zeal to get ahead,
you are tactless and offensive - - learn that cooperation with others
can often bring you nearer to your goals quicker because of the
support you will get.
