| | | | | | Hi Friend,
As we continue using Soul Astrology as a tool for self-exploration one of the most fundamental factors is to understand how we flow our energy. There are subtler and subtler ways of observing how we flow our energy and one of the most fundamental is to look at the dominant polarity in our chart.
|
| | The
polarity of a sign is whether it is considered 'positive' or
'negative'. This is often misunderstood, because the tendency in modern
times is to equate 'positive' with 'good' and 'negative' with 'bad' as
the popular expressions 'positive thinking' or 'negative thinking'
reflect, but the polarities in astrology are nothing to do with moral
judgements of good or bad, but are specifically referring to how we flow
energy.
For example, you wouldn't think of a positive electrical
charge as 'good' and a negative charge as 'bad', they are simply the
labels we have chosen to describe the differences in how energy flows!
Likewise, in astrology, when we use the term positive and negative, we
are referring to the polarity of a sign. In other words, how the energy
flows.
Positive signs are considered to be electric, in the sense that they are sending energy outwards. They are active, radiant, enthusiastic, and are traditionally associated with masculine or 'yang' energy. These are all just different ways to describe energy that radiates or emanates outwards away from itself.
Negative signs are considered to be magnetic in the sense that they are receiving energy inwards. They are passive, attractive, reflective, and are associated with feminine or 'yin' energy. These are all just different ways to describe energy that magnetizes, or attracts in towards itself.
These labels have nothing to do with male and female in gender terms. It is perfectly possible for women to have a dominance of positive signs and for men to have a dominance of negative signs. Most of us have some planets in both polarities, although one polarity will be dominant, while in some people there will be an equal balance of both.
Are You Electric or Magnetic?
To see whether your energy is mostly positive (electric) or negative (magnetic) take a look at your natal chart and count how many planets you have in each polarity. Only count the personal and social planets: The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, together with the Ascendant (AC) and Mid-heaven (MC).
To make it easier, some astrologers use a point system where you allow 2 points for the more important chart factors: The Sun, Moon, (AC) and your chart ruler*, and one point for the remaining planets and the MC. Add up the points for each sign to see which (if any) is dominant in your chart.
Positive "Electric" Signs:
All the fire signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius;
All the air signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius;
Negative "Magnetic" Signs:
All the earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn;
All the water signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.
As you go deeper into your self-observation, and become aware of more subtle energy, you will notice that it isn't really as simple as merely 'active' or 'passive', although that's a good description to get started.
However once you become more aware, you will realize that active implies effort, or doing something. Whereas in reality, the positive signs don't need any effort to radiate energy outwards. Like the Sun it is just a natural energy, a heat, that emanates from the core.
Likewise we will also see that the negative signs aren't entirely 'passive', because there is a subtle activity involved in the process of attraction. Like radiance, attraction is an active process, but one that doesn't require effort so much as awareness.
If you have a dominance of positive signs you need to be careful not to get caught up in too much 'doing' where you can burn yourself out. Finding the easy place of simply 'being' and allowing your energy to radiate will be helpful to you.
If you have a dominance of negative signs you need to guard against becoming too passive and slipping into dullness. Finding the place of being alert and softly focused within the active yet delicate process of attraction will be very helpful to you.
Once we understand how our energy flows it can support us in staying balanced and using our energy in the most effective way to support us on our journey of self-exploration.

That's all for now see you next time, and in the meantime... happy exploring!
Best Wishes,
Ruth
*Your
chart ruler is the planet which 'rules' your Rising Sign (AC). For
example the sign of Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, so if you have
Aries Rising your chart ruler will be Mars.
