Astrology 101Presented byGodis Nanu
Constellations
Each constellation corresponds with a particular creation
element such as Fire, Earth, Air, & Water. Fire and Air are
Masculine. Earth & Water are Feminine.
Each constellation also corresponds with a body part and color
which can signify physical/energetic areas susceptible to
imbalance.
All of this helps us identify and detect the energy of each
constellation.
Discussion
Define mutable, cardinal, & fixed.
Connect an object with each of the characteristic above in
relation to each creation element. ie. A wild fire would represent
cardinal fire.
How can each object help you to describe the corresponding
constellation?
How would you describe each constellation's representative? ie.
For Taurus, Bull's are stubborn, yet predictable.

For each constellation, use its numerical representative to
create 5 keywords that are in line with the characteristics already
discussed (which should be in your notes) in regards to the
constellation
Celestial Bodies
Each celestial body represents an aspect of ones
mind/personality as well as how you interact with the world around

Each celestial body also rules over a particular constellation,
