Astrological allegory

Astrology is a way of thinking about how the stars and planets in the sky can tell us things about ourselves and our world. It's like looking at the stars and seeing pictures in the shapes they make.

An allegory is like a story or a fable with a hidden meaning behind it. It's like a puzzle - you have to figure out what the story is really trying to tell you.

When we talk about an astrological allegory, we mean a story or fable that uses the positions of stars and planets to tell us something important. For example, a story about a brave knight who goes on a quest to find a magical talisman might also be an allegory for someone trying to overcome their fears and find their inner strength.

In astrology, different stars and planets are said to have different meanings and influences on our lives. So an astrological allegory might use those meanings to tell a story with a hidden message about our personalities, our relationships with others, or the world around us.

It's like reading a special kind of storybook - one where the pictures are made of stars and planets, and the story is trying to teach you something important about yourself and the world.
