Astrology is the study of movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. One of the very first concepts of astrology, the 12 zodiac signs were created by the Babylonians in 1894 BC.

The word astrology comes from the early Latin word astrologia, which derives from the Greek ἀστρολογία—from ἄστρον astron (“star”) and -λογία -logia, (“study of”—”account of the stars”). Astrologia later passed into meaning ‘star-divination’ with astronomia used for the scientific term.

Astrology was a central feature of Greek and Roman culture. A knowledge of astrology’s claims, practices and world view is essential for a full understanding of religion, politics, and science in the Greek and Roman worlds.

Astrology has a unique and powerful impact on our lives, guiding your energy and everyday decisions. Many people throughout history have applied the tools and techniques of astrology and have witnessed amazing results throughout their daily lives. Even today, countless politicians, celebrities and the worlds elite embrace astrology to assist in determining the outcomes of their lives and future success.

For every aspect of life, there is an astrological connection on how to change the way you’re living.

If you’re interested in incorporating astrology into your everyday life, you can use it to feel healed, connected, motivated, guided and transformed. Astrology helps you to move forward with confidence and create a world where you prosper, it tells you about yourself and your relationships, where to live or travel and how your future will unfold.

To align your life by way of the planets and stars, guides you towards the best possible existence to reach your full potential on earth.

Did you know if Saturn is transiting your 5th house you may need extra support if going through IVF? Saturn brings limitations to move through when transiting your house of children and creativity.

A 5/8 day in numerology can bring unexpected chaos, mercury retrograde communication breakdowns and Venus retrograde second thoughts (if setting dates during this period). The late Anthony Bourdain took his life on a numerology 5/8 day, the ‘Wild Boars’ Soccer Team became trapped in the Thailand cave on a 5/8 day.

Planning to launch your business when your sun is squaring your sun or moon can bring challenges. You really wouldn’t want to have your wedding date or IVF during this astrology transit.

Dr Pat Harris researched the link between woman’s fertility and horoscopes for her PhD. She says: “I found women who knew their exact time of birth who then used an astrological chart to predict their best time to conceive could increase their chances of conception by 23 per cent.”

There are personal astrology transits when it IS the perfect time to marry or conceive. Indian astrology calls this ‘Mangala Yoga’. When Venus and Jupiter are conjunct in your chart, Venus and Venus trine, Venus and Mars Conjunct or the New or Full Moon is in your sign (the moon rules the feminine) and you’re ovulating… This my friend is when you’re most likely to fall pregnant! It’s also a beautiful time to marry. Or if being introduced to a possible life partner, the stars have aligned for you now.

Planets in the Fifth House. The Moon, Venus and Jupiter are all considered to be good baby-making news when transiting your Fifth House. Neptune and/or the North Node in your Fifth tend can be helpful transiting your chart as well. The 5th house in astrology is the house of children and procreation, while Jupiter is the planet of expansion and good luck. Put these two planets together, and you’ve got a super fertile astrology transit! Many women find they fall pregnant during this time. If inner planets (such as the Sun, Moon, Venus or Mars) are transiting the fifth house at the same time, your chances for conceiving are greatly improved.

Uranus transiting your 5th house: Uranus is the planet of unpredictability and freedom, so in the fifth house, ‘unplanned pregnancies’ can occur. If you’re avoiding pregnancy and experiencing this transit, take extra care to protect yourself!

Through your astrology and numerology blueprints, universal cycles and astrology transits, I can share your personal best dates to marry, go through your IVF cycle, the best date for your caesarean or launch your business (which is also like giving birth!)

I’ve received a couple of readings and a Feng Shui consult with you. Mostly reading my fertility after trying to fall pregnant for years (now 44 and last chance at IVF). You gave me advice through astrology, numerology and Feng Shui. I’ve been meaning to touch base and tell you that I’m now 20 weeks pregnant! Thank you ~ Annette Plant

Next, I look into your astrology charts for sun/moon compatibility – the sun is our core being (how we shine in life) and moon reveals emotions. Next mercury for communication. Venus shares the love we like to give and receive so now I’m seeing a pretty clear picture of the compatibility between both of you. If you both have Venus in the same sign or house for example that’s a good match.

You might not have heard of your astrology Vertex though – the symbol looks like this: ‘Vx’ (Vertex meaning pinnacle). This is the big one as your Vertex reveals a magnetic force. And yes… that destined fatal attraction, or connection that transforms your life.

Understanding Vertex’s almost makes me feel better for marrying my ex-husband! I was inexplicably drawn to him many moons ago, not my usual ‘type’ – I realised much later on I had a Vertex connection to him through six planets. It was destiny in the making (soulmates vs cellmates)! Our relationship was definitely a life lesson which I’ve evolved through.

One of my best friends and I have our Vertex in the same sign of Gemini in the 5th house of Leo (which makes it a conjunction for us). She feels like a sister and had even met my mother who was her social work teacher before we met 15 years later.

You may meet suddenly ‘out of the blue’ – with a strong sense you know each other from somewhere… This person can make you feel like you’ve never felt before and your life will never be the same again.

I believe twin flames are like soulmates – however the connection is more profound. Through a twin flame connection there will be almost identical numerology between you, the same Vertex placements and similar astrology placements. Your twin flame is literally another part of you.

How to work out your astrology Synastry compatibility with your Vertex:

First, you’ll need to find out where the Vertex’s are located in your astrology birth charts (you’ll need your time and date of birth).
Once you know where your Vertex (Vx) is, simply look at the other person’s chart to see where theirs is (including the sign + house placement). If your Vertex is in Gemini and the other person’s Sun is in Gemini that means you’ll have a Sun-Vertex ‘Vx’ Synastry as follows:

Vertex to Vertex Compatibility

When your astrology Vertex ‘Vx’ is in the same planet and or house as another persons – it reveals an overwhelming attraction, common amongst best friends, marriage partners and ‘destiny in the making relationships’. There’s a strong chemistry between the two of you. You will unconsciously be attracted to each other and be drawn into each others lives. This is the one that’s going to change the course of your life…

Sun Vertex Compatibility

When your Vertex connects with the other person’s Sun, this is your idea of the perfect companion. Friendship is easy and you’ll have fun growing together.

Moon Vertex Compatibility

With the moon ruling your intuition, emotions and ‘mother energy’ this is a deeply protective combination. You will naturally be ‘in-tune’ and connected with each other. There will be a feeling of safety, comfort and deja-vu. Unbalanced energy can lead to co-dependence with balanced energy co-creative. You’ll often be in each other’s thoughts.

Venus Vertex Compatibility

Venus is the planet of love and romance. When your Vertex forms a connection with Venus, there is often a powerful relationship formed that will change both your lives forever. Think fatal attraction, soulmates and transformation through the power of love. Separating can be difficult with this placement.

Mars Vertex Compatibility

Mars is your anchor in life and rules your sexual drive, how you ‘go after’ what you want. With Mars Vertex Synastry you may not want to get out of bed! You will be deeply attracted and intrigued by each other. As friends or business associates you’ll find yourself driven by each other.

Jupiter Vertex Compatibility

Jupiter brings luck into our lives. This person can feel like your lucky star! For example, shopping together or travelling you’ll find yourself in the right place at the right time. You can also have amazing connections to other people you need to help you in life through this placement.

Saturn Vertex Compatibility

What’s life without balance, right? Saturn teaches us through limitations, see the Nike swoosh? Yes… that’s part of Saturn calling to ‘just do it’! Saturn also brings karmic connections and ‘fate’ to work through. With this connection you can feel a ‘push pull’ effect. This is a responsible link – you might feel like their mother/father or vice versa. Lessons surround the Saturn Vertex astrology combination!

Uranus Vertex Compatibility

Uranus brings revolution and freedom to our life. As Uranus is very slow moving, in-fact taking 84 years to make a full return, spending 7 years in each sign, the house placement will reveal more. This could be the person who frees you in life and unlocks the doors to a new world! You could have an unexpected pregnancy or marry ‘out of the blue’.

Neptune Vertex Compatibility

Neptune rules Pisces and is known as ‘god of the sea’. With the placement of Neptune Vertex, you can feel like you’ve found your soulmate or lose yourself (particularly if forming a square / anti-vertex) which is 6 signs away. The square to Taurus for example is Scorpio. You may become lost in a world of dreams, with a deeply spiritual connection. ‘You are my fantasy…’ Check your house placement for additional information as Neptune is generational.

Pluto Vertex Compatibility

Pluto rules Scorpio – life, death and transformation. This is destiny in the making. A highly intense connection, think births, deaths and marriages. Check your house placement for additional information as Neptune is generational.

North Node Vertex Compatibility

Your north node in astrology reveals where we are headed to in life. You were both fated to meet – this person is destined to help you to move forward to where you need to be. As the south node reveals where you have come from there is no doubt a past life connection of old souls between you both. Again, check your house position placement for further insight. You have much to learn from each other. Take note!

Ascendant Vertex Compatibility

When another person’s Vertex is conjunct your Ascendant (meaning in the same sign), your Vertex is conjunct their Ascendant. This is an indicator of an intense and often fatal attraction! The two of you may easily stay together for the rest of your lives because of the intense attachment you feel for one another or be bonded through children. The physical attraction is off the charts, and the feeling of allure is usually. instant. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have this aspect.
