Color Coded Astrology Categories

Inspiration

My goal is simple, to inspire you to use astrology as a gentle guide for personal growth and self-awareness. You don’t have to be a professional or even an expert to benefit from it. A little astrological understanding can go a long way toward helping you make better choices, trust your timing and feel more at ease with who you are.

In this space, I’ll be sharing my thoughts, forecasts and insights in plain, approachable language so you can connect with the stars in your own way. Typically, I’ll will give you a simple image, or let’s call it artwork, in my beloved primary, secondary and tertiary flats which I adore creating to support my ideas.

Color Coded Categories

or Buckets…

I like to organize my work into categories, or what I call buckets. Each bucket gathers related ideas, lessons or topics so everything at the level stays connected and easy to find.

These buckets move from beginner to more advanced levels, guiding you step by step as you grow. The one you choose to explore depends on where you are in your own astrological journey and what you’re most curious about right now.

7 Categories

And astrologically I have seven topic categories which I explore in my writing.

My seven categories are:

❤️ Basic natal astrology

🧡 Advanced natal astrology

💛 Forecasting astrology

💚 Love and romance astrology

🩵 Vocation, career and money astrology

💙 Your astrology business

💜 Wellbeing astrology

Those of you in-the-know will realize that my categories relate to the seven colors of the rainbow, the seven chakras of the body and perhaps even the seven days of the week.

At the same time each category builds on the one before. Knowledge is gathered in a deeper level the higher you go in the categories.

Let’s go a bit deeper.

❤️ Basic Natal Astrology

Red: Begin Here

This is the beginning section with basic natal, or birth chart, astrology. Is all about the essential things in your birth chart. In this section I discuss all the fundamental things you need to know to be able to read a chart on a very simple level. This is where you start if you know absolutely nothing about astrology or you’re trying to build your understanding of the basic components which make up an astrology chart.

Cornerstones

The four cornerstones of chart readings that I share with you in the basic natal category are signs, planets, houses and aspects. I’ll also throw in the Ascendant and Midheaven for good measure.

💛 Forecasting Astrology

Yellow: Predicting

Predicting is the reason that many people come to astrology in the first place. They want to know what going to happen next. I’m not saying that astrology can be that precise, but it certainly can show the situations and emotions that may unfold for you at certain times in the year. In my forecasting bucket I chat about all the predictive techniques which I use for every client I have.

Direct Forecasting

For direct forecasting I explore transits, lunations and eclipses, solar returns and the graphic ephemeris. This bit covers the famous Mercury retrograde periods and the dreaded Saturn return.

Symbolic Forecasting

The symbolic forecasting techniques which I love are secondary progressions and solar arc directions. These two I’ll talk about now and then.

💚 Love and Romance Astrology

Green: Your Love Life

Love is one of the two main questions posed to astrologers. It is the backbone of most consultations. Where is the love, how to find love and when love fades is a very interesting part of astrology.

Synastry

The love category goes beyond basic sign compatibility to explore synastry, inter-chart connections, composite midpointcharts and Davison relationship chart techniques. It covers romance, personal, family and professional relationships in general.

🩵 Vocation, Career and Money Astrology

Blue: Money and How You Make It

This category explores the money side of life.

Finances

There and many ways to discover financial potential in a chart. Earning, investing, spending, splurging and saving all live in my blue money category. I look at your money planets, money houses and the financial planets. Additionally, consideration is given to the Part of Fortune which is a key point in any chart for money matters.

Vocation

Your vocation is what you would do if you did not have to work. This sector shows what you really ought to be doing with your life and how you could be living in this lifetime.

💙 Your Astrology Business

Indigo: For Professional Astrologers

This section is about the business of being an astrologer. I also provide some tips about setting up your own astrology, or New Age, practice. There are also a few articles on working with clients, when to go professional and branding your astrology business.

Peers and Colleagues

From time to time, I interview other astrologers and discover the type of astrology which they are practicing. I explore how everyone approaches their work in a different say, but how they use astrology as the core feature to inform their practice which isn’t always astrology itself.

💜 Wellbeing Astrology

Violet: Wellbeing

Here the topics are of a higher nature. They touch on the natural gifts you have, like being able to read a chart, and how you may be called to share your knowledge with others. This wellbeing section covers self-care as an astrologer and not getting burned out through the psychological nature of consulting work and simple activities like forest bathing.

Gratitude

I also discuss gratitude and the gifts and many blessing in my life. I explore how I believe that simple living as an astrologer is the best way to live.

Consumption

There are pieces about taking what you want, but using what you take, be that food, energy or other people’s time.

Rest and Recuperation

It’s about resting when you need to and giving yourself permission to withdraw from life when things become overwhelming. It’s about tuning in to your own core needs and honoring them properly. Many of these topics are close to my heart, but there are not so many of them as the earlier categories. That is the nature of my color-coded category growth pyramid.
