How Astrology and the Seasons Influence Our Lives

Exploring Astrology and the Seasons: The beauty of astrology is that it pokes its figures into many different pies. Meaning, astrology looks into a myriad of different aspects of our universe and makes a connection to form pretty impressive conclusions. At its simplest, astrology is a study of how the stars and planets influence humanity. But astrology goes so much deeper than that. Astrology is a dynamic system that collects diverse data in the cosmos. It then takes that data and weaves a tapestry that helps define and create inferences about life, community, weather…even politics.

Astrology and the seasons is just one of the many lenses astrology looks through to perceive and relate to the world around us. It may seem basic, but sometimes the most profound systems of meaning and understanding are the simplest. If you think about it, the seasons are at the heart of every human life and have been since the dawn of humankind. The cycle of life revolves around the cyclical nature of the seasons. The very first humans on this earth based their lives on the ebb and flow of the seasons. From hunting to agriculture, industry to community, the seasons governed human progress in early times and even to this day.

“The coming and going of the seasons give us more than the springtimes, summers, autumns, and winters of our lives. It reflects the coming and going of the circumstances of our lives like the glassy surface of a pond that shows our faces radiant with joy or contorted with pain.”
~Gary Zukav

Seasons play an integral role in human life and they play an equally crucial role in astrology. In fact, the seasons give order to the zodiac. All 12 zodiac signs are divided into four quadrants, and these quadrants are based on the four seasons, and each season lends a special quality to each zodiac sign. Most of these qualities are common sense. For example, the Leo zodiac sign is born in the summer season. As a result, Leo’s disposition tends to be bold, bright, and powerful just as the energy of the sun is in full force during summertime.

Not only do the personality of the seasons influence zodiac signs, the changes of the seasons are also a big factor. If you think about it, seasons are in constant flux. They march to the beat of time, continuously moving towards progress. For example, from the first moment the winter solstice begins, time ticks forward towards spring. It is the transitions from light to dark and back again that imbue meaning into zodiac signs. To help explain this further, here is a neat chart illustrating astrology and the seasons.
