I am thrilled to announce the emergence of a new astrological system: 

Fertility Wheel Astrology. 

Fertility Wheel astrology focuses on forecasting agricultural events, much like a farmer’s almanac. These symbols represent seasonal breeders, agricultural activities, and the natural rhythms of nature or understanding of their yearly cycles. Predictions revolve exclusively around agricultural activities. Fertility Wheel astrology does not directly pertain to you, me, or any individual human’s fate or future. It is meant to be a guide or a tool for agriculture and survival. It shows newborns nine months after the sign for the woman, and along with common seasonal breeders to demonstrate it, it is, in fact, Fertility Wheel astrology.

For instance, if your birth aligns just after the Autumn Equinox, the symbols associated with this season—ram, deer, and goats—reflect the heightened reproductive activity of these animals during the rut. It’s a guide tailored to the agricultural realm, providing insights into the natural rhythms that influence the reproduction of animals and the growth of crops.

It’s an astrology detached from individual destinies but deeply entwined with the agricultural world. It does not tell you your fate, fortune, or destiny. 

This unique approach aligns the symbols with the solstices and equinoxes, incorporating t seasonal breeders as the primary animal representations. Seasonal breeders are cattle, horses, lizards, sheep, goats, deer, cats, wild dogs, wild boar, and more. This astrology also considers the optimal timing for plowing the land in preparation for cultivating crops like wheat, barley, oats, corn, and rye, represented by the symbols associated with the plowing of the land, cattle. It acknowledges the harvest time with the horse and man. 

It integrates the symbolism of ocean life to signify the timing of additional food sources. For example, the symbol of the two fish corresponds to the fishing season, while the crabs symbolize the arrival of the crab season. Likewise, the uncontrolled water symbol signifies the prevalent occurrence of flash flooding during specific periods.

The water sign holds a special significance in Fertility Wheel astrology. Water brings fertility to the land, and all life needs water. The picture of a vase spilling water represents the much-needed summer flash floods. These signs symbolize the essential element of water, which is crucial for growth, vitality, and rejuvenation. In addition, the symbol of the water, scorpion, and lion reminds us of the dangers around us and to be aware. People will learn the power of timing, intuition, and adaptability throughout the year.

Fertility Wheel astrology offers a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of nature and human existence by intertwining the solstices and equinoxes, seasonal breeders, oceanic symbolism, and the significance of the water sign. It invites us to attune ourselves to the world’s natural rhythms, embrace the cycles of growth and fertility, and find deeper meaning in the celestial events that shape our lives.

It’s important to note that Fertility Wheel astrology draws upon cultural and traditional knowledge related to the timing of these natural events. It seeks to understand the interplay between celestial movements and the practical aspects of human life, particularly in agricultural and animal husbandry contexts. Fertility Wheel astrology is based on agriculture and community survival. 

Let Us Compare the Three Types of Astrology

If you were born from September 24th through October 16th, you would have at least three options of signs depending on the type of astrology you prefer. 

Virgo is from September 17 to October 17 in sidereal astrology.

Libra is from September 23 to October 23 in tropical astrology.

The Goat is from September 22 to October 21 in Fertility Wheel astrology.

This time or season coincides with the beginning of the rut for sheep, goats, deer, and many other species. The equinox alignment remains unchanged and will continue to represent the sheep and goat symbol indefinitely. 

The critical distinction between tropical, fertility, and sidereal astrology lies in how and why they are used, reference points, and measurements. Tropical and Fertility Wheel astrology are anchored to the Earth’s seasons (the Sun), while sidereal astrology aligns with fixed stars. The slight difference in the length of the tropical and sidereal years is due to precession, and the effects of precession account for the shifting positions of zodiac signs in the two systems over time.

Similar to tropical astrology, Fertility Wheel astrology follows a fixed system, but it distinguishes itself in a few ways. One way is utilizing a different anchor animal but the same anchor points using the solstices and equinoxes. 

How These Types of Astrology Are Most Commonly Aligned

Sidereal astrology is commonly associated with Eastern or Vedic astrology. Sidereal astrology uses fixed stars as the foundation for interpreting a person’s birth chart. It considers the Earth’s precession, which is a slow, cyclic shift in the positions of stars and constellations caused by the Earth’s wobble. The sidereal year, with a length of approximately 365.2563 days, is measured by the average time it takes for a specific star to return to its exact position in the sky. As a result of precession, the sidereal zodiac signs gradually shift in relation to the tropical zodiac signs. A sidereal year is about 20 minutes longer than a tropical year. The star will advance one degree every 71.6 years.

Sidereal astrology also considers the 12 divisions of the ecliptic plane, just like tropical astrology. However, the starting point, the sidereal “zero point,” is different. In sidereal astrology, the zero point is anchored to a specific fixed star, such as Spica or Regulus, depending on the system used.

The starting point of the tropical Zodiac is the vernal equinox, which occurs around March 21 each year. This alignment point is considered the beginning of the Zodiac and is associated with the sign Aries.

Tropical astrology is based on the relationship between the Sun and the Earth’s seasonal changes. It utilizes the solstices and equinoxes as reference points for dividing the year into twelve zodiac signs. The tropical year, approximately 365.2422 days long, is measured by the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same seasonal position. In this system, the zodiac signs remain fixed relative to the Earth’s seasons, while their alignment with the stars may change over time.

Each of the twelve signs of the tropical Zodiac is associated with a specific time of the year and has corresponding seasonal qualities. For example, Aries is associated with spring, Cancer with summer, Libra with fall, and Capricorn with winter. In tropical astrology, an individual’s astrological chart, or horoscope, is created based on the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and other celestial bodies at their birth’s exact time and location. Fortune tellers use this chart and are then used to provide insights into various aspects of the person’s life, including personality traits, relationships, and potential life events.

In Fertility Wheel astrology, a new system based on the same type of alignment as a tropical astrology year, which is approximately 365.2422 days long, is also set on the equinoxes or solstices. The astrological sign of the sheep or goats consistently precedes the fall equinox, encompassing the period from September 22 to October 21 without variation. Unlike some signs that may shift their alignment relative to solstices, the sheep or goat sign remains steadfast in its association with this specific timeframe every year. For instance, the horse can be aligned right before the summer solstice, or the crab can be positioned right after the winter solstice. However, the sheep or goat sign consistently marks the celestial landscape preceding the fall equinox.

Most people use the Zodiac and astrology to divine the future using either tropical or sidereal systems. Using your specific birthdate, even the exact time of birth, and celestial events to learn your destiny or fate has been around for ages. This system uses the Sun and stars and how their signs directly relate to each and every person. Each character is associated with certain personality traits, strengths, weaknesses, and other characteristics. For example, the Sun sign, determined by the date of birth, is considered the most significant aspect of a person’s future. People’s sun signs or their Zodiac symbols are known for their association with horoscopes, which are daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly predictions based on the positions of celestial bodies at a given time.

This information is used in Western and Vedic astrology to create horoscopes and make predictions. Astrologers have followed the movement of the planets along the ecliptic path to understanding celestial bodies and their influence on our lives.

Fertility Wheel astrology was created to help people understand how to survive while working in harmony with nature. It shows the best times to mate the common farm animals and how to repeat it over time to bring food and resources into their lives.

Fertility Wheel astrology places significant emphasis on the seasonal breeding patterns of animals and the fishing and crab seasons observed worldwide. It also considers the optimal timing for plowing the land in preparation for cultivating crops like wheat, barley, and rye, represented by the symbols associated with the cattle. Furthermore, Fertility Wheel astrology acknowledges the harvest time, symbolized by the horse and man.

This alignment with various natural phenomena reflects the connection between agricultural practices, animal behavior, and the rhythms of nature. By incorporating these elements into Fertility Wheel astrology, this astrology aims to provide insights into the optimal times for specific activities related to reproduction, farming, and harvesting.

It’s important to note that Fertility Wheel astrology draws upon cultural and traditional knowledge related to the timing of these natural events. It seeks to understand the interplay between celestial movements and the practical aspects of human life, particularly in agricultural and animal husbandry contexts.
