The art of astrology is an ancient one. People have relied on it for hundreds, even thousands of years to provide insight about an individual's own soul and what's to come for the future.

Today, it's used more on a personal rather than community level, but it still contains just as much knowledge as it did in the past. It can be used as an analysis of any given person's deepest, most minute qualities that build the foundation of their personality, and that knowledge can then be used to determine where those qualities would be best used to foster a successful life.

If you're looking for more information on your life and your individual sign, then you'll need your own zodiac reading. We're each on our own unique path and what some struggle with this season, might not be applicable to you too.

While the sun, moon, and rising signs are seen as the primary influences in someone's astrology chart, many other complex elements can contribute immense detail to a person's life. Natal planets, house placements, and even other bodies like asteroids or fixed stars can provide insight into a person's personality, emotions, and life events in surprising, tangible ways.

Though it takes a bit more research, exploring these often overlooked components can help a person can gain deeper insight into themselves and the events that will shape their life. It's important to remember that the chart is not a finite source of information, and it can be continually explored and reinterpreted to reap ever-increasing understandings and revelations.

Namely, these more detailed examinations can reveal signs of success, pointing someone toward the path they're destined to thrive on.

Before we delve into these astrological signs of success that can be seen in one's chart, let's learn about planet placements on charts and how they're calculated in degrees.

ADVERTISEMENT

A star chart is a full circle, meaning 360 degrees, with each zodiac sign ruling over 30 degrees of that circle. Planets (and other celestial bodies like the Sun) are placed within that circle based on where they were at your time of birth and measured in degrees to calculate the sign they're under. The way these planets are placed within that circle can form unique patterns that then give them deeper meaning.

Now, let's go over the types of placements we'll be looking at here.

Sextiles: Two planets are 60 degrees, or two signs, apart.

Conjunct: Two planets are so close, often under the same sign, that their energies merge together.

Square: Two planets are 90 degrees, or three signs apart, forming a right or 'square' angle.

Opposite: Two planets are in signs that are directly opposite one another on the chart.

Pretty simple, right? With this knowledge, you can now compare your chart to the elements below and see if you find a match!

The Sun being opposite Jupiter means you're a dreamer at heart. You've always had lofty goals, but you're also realistic. You know what you're capable of and what you could suitably set out to achieve, so you use that to avoid getting too overzealous.

You're great at enterprising, have immense confidence, and really thrive in business-like settings with your visionary mind. You enjoy a bit of risk as you think it adds thrill to the mundane, but remain gracious even when that risk doesn't pay off as well as you hoped. Often, though, you'll get what you were hoping for and more.

If Mars sextiles Saturn in your chart, it means you're very work-oriented, but in the best way. You're responsible, respectful, and are always open to hearing other peoples' ideas, thus opening yourself to new perspectives that keep you innovative.

Mars in square with Jupiter is an indicator of a driven and determined attitude, able to take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. You're good at making quick decisions that help squash obstacles that may come your way, as your fierce determination and ambition refuse to let you be slowed down.

You're also rather optimistic, so much so that you sometimes over-promise what you're actually able to deliver and thus fall behind or have to give something up. You have a racing mind that always wants to jump to the next project, but it might be beneficial to learn how to slow things down every once and a while.

You also enjoy taking initiative in new opportunities, wanting to prove your worth, skill, and character to those around you. As with anyone with a high confidence, this can sometimes be read as cockiness or narcissism, so be sure to acknowledge the talents of your peers as well as continuing to celebrate your own.

You're very levelheaded and analytical, to the point that some people might find you cold, especially since you refuse to engage with things like gossip or pettiness. This hardly matters to you, though, as you're just here to push your own life forward. Who cares what other people think?
