So, I have had this thought before but decided to discuss it further.

What is your take on our Earth in astrology? We are natives of Earth, so what is our homes energy on us astrologically? Since we are living on it I do believe that the sign Ascending(Your Asc) on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth holds significance. --> http://www.librarising.com/astrology/misc/planetearth.html

or is the Suns position or energy in relevance to Earth also a factor in the Earths energies? This link discuses that the position of Earth in your chart is exactly 180 degrees away from your Sun --> http://www.alanoken.com/newsletter/Aug07/newsletter0807d.html

Do you ffeel your Ascendant sign is a better represetation of Earths energy on you or what the latter article suggests, the position exactly opposite to your Sun?

Should not Earths energy be the most prominant to us here? What are your views regarding this?

Any well-informed information on this would also be great.

I don't dwell on thoughts of science fiction much (too frightening for alien-phobic me), to think about how that would translate over when mankind establishes colonies anywhere else in the solar system/space... lol Just for us here and now... that's plenty of food for thought on its own, or at least, I'd hope so anyway! haha

So for me, the Earth's energy is represented on its own, and not by the signs but by the evolution, and motion of the signs around us... in this way, we receive Earth energy from all of them in turn, and all the planets work to contain that energy, and draw it back inward to each of us. The sun serves to spotlight one facet of ourselves in a given time, and the ascendant is our costume, but the earth is our stage, as everything is constantly in motion, the backdrop changes (houses/sighs/planets... progressions), and everything else, sorta' just follows in place, with each new scene/stage of our lives. We can maintain all that we have been taught/seen/experienced as our previous signs/placements, but the process continues endlessly so that we experience all that is required of us in this lifetime... (something to that effect.) I guess in this way of thinking, the Earth represents the 5th element, in a way... I think? lol (what would we assign to earth but the 5th, anyway... since we already have 3 of fire, water, earth, and air)... lol so many conundrums! >.<; And, as for a sign... the symbol of the Earth/planet you are currently living on... wouldn't that sign be the entire chart? @_@; I don't know, really... >.<;

Anyway, that's my weird way of thinking at least! lol >.<; doh! *no sci-fi just hippy-trippy fantasy here! lmao*

I also think it pays to think that while we could/may/possibly (iunno Oo;!) one day settle on another planet, or meet someone who has... idk! lol That while there, they will have other bodies that are considered planets in relation to their sizes/sizing methods, and they may have other moons and suns! Which is just a little bit too much for my lil' mind to handle! XD

Just saying...

Anywho!! It's a fascinating topic, Violet~! I really enjoyed the articles in the links too~ Lots of information to take in, but I'll be referring back to them as my thoughts on the matter are sure to change and take new shape, they kinda... always do. hah! *mutable* The only thing I didn't agree with was where it says in one that "the Earth needs a real name" - because it already has two... Roman, Terra/Tellus and Greek, Gaea. <3 (granted Gaea is also an asteroid now... we tend to use Roman mythological names anyway, and hey... we're all terrestrials... Terra it is! lol) >.>;;; no? Anyway - I agree with and enjoyed the Librarising article the most~ ^^; there's a lot there though... <3 will need to take time and digest it all!~ ty again for sharing it though!!! truly~

I don't think my response is credible enough though, I tend to go into deep metaphysical/spiritual mode with these sort of things... sorry! ; ;

Hmm, why is that? Why would earth only have importance to you(in terms of energy) once you are further away from it? Does not it make more sense that since you are living on earth it's influences are greatest on you compared to planets further away?

The Asc doesn’t symbolize the entire Earth itself but rather the eastern horizon, and the Dsc is the western horizon. So which one do you pick? Why look at only one horizon? What about the Earth directly under our feet? My thoughts are that if the Earth is in our chart at all, it’s the point directly opposite our Sun, which is directly under our feet. The terra firma on which we are currently standing. The Asc shows of our personal perspective on the world, as the eastern horizon. The Dsc shows our perspective on relationships, as the western horizon. The Earth itself is a mighty big thing which stretches between these two horizons, and from our perspective is constantly in opposition to the Sun.

Siiiigh, life. I love living, ya kno that...

ahahah, you need to be more grounded maybe?

yes if the universe is expanding, energy is also continues to. But the question is how is that really reflecting our astrological views? What you are closer to is still what you are closer to. Do not you think?

I like your prespective and I do agree. On a grander scale(something to the effect of what redscorp has said here somehwere), simply put, all energy is reflective and intertwined some where. To that I totally agree. I was just trying to discuss though the asrtological value of Earth to us here on Earth. Just thought that should be most important to us in terms of a basic energy source. I mean if there were inhabitants on another planet, their home planet would indeed be their most prominant energy source while they were living on it. Just thought we should put Earth into more consideration you know!

Oh thankx =] I'm glad you found it interesting too. and Gaea <3 yes, interesting you mention that. I remember reading that meant "earth" in some library book back when I was like 14 and I remember thinking "that's what i'll name my daughter." lol. still beautiful one word meaning of mother earth though.

I am pretty grounded, but that may be because I have a lot of Capricorn energy in my chart.
