“Universal gravitation determines planetary interaction”
When it comes to chess you all get a bit active as it is a mind game with lots of strategies and logical moves. But what if I say that chess is kind of related to astrology. Yes you heard it right!
You always get you to read something informative and versatility and here comes one addition to it.open magical boxes for this article and we will convey you some interesting facts about how chess is related with astrology.
Is chess a divine game?
Or an astrology thing?
There are many predictions and evident correlations of chess being correlated to the astrology. So from this we can get through the conclusion that chess is inspired by universal laws, or the planetary movements which holds magic.
In Chess we have a board divided in 8 columns and 8 rows, in Astrology we use the zodiacal circle divided in 12 signs.
In Chess we have 6 symbols, the pieces (King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, and Pawn), in Astrology we have 7 symbols, the 7 traditional planets, (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn).
There are rules for the movement of these symbols and each has a specific value or interpretation.
The Art of the Player of Chess is to thoroughly study and understand the network of influences and forces on the chessboard, then to elaborate a strategy that will lead him/her to the defeat of the opponent.
The Art of the Astrologer is to thoroughly study and understand the network of influences in the astrological chart, then to elaborate an overall conclusion of it.
PIECES AND PLANETS STRIKING COORELATIONS.
When you think and take a deeper interest you will note a slight striking connection between the chess pieces and the planetary movements.
The king is obviously correlated to sun. If the sun will be shut off the whole world will go into a checkmate situation like ALMOST OVER. Same relation is here when the King is besieged and captured (checkmate) the game is over.
The Queen is correlated with the Moon in astrology. The Moon moves quickest of all planets, so does the Queen on the chessboard. In horary and electional (traditional astrology) the Moon is the most important planet to be considered. So is the Queen in Chess.
The Pawns are like children, which are traditionally ruled by the Moon. When they grow old, that is, when they reach the other end of the chessboard, they become Queens. Therefore the Pawns are also correlated with Moon.
The Bishops are obviously correlated with Jupiter, since Jupiter rules the religion and the religious persons. However, as the Bishops move always diagonally and there is the planet Mars whose glyph or symbol is a circle with an arrow coming out of it in an oblique direction, this is why the Bishops can also be associated functionally with Mars. So, the Bishops' nature is Jupiter/Mars.
The Rooks are also called Castles, therefore are associated with Saturn. But since they move only horizontally or vertically. As the ideogram of Venus is a formed of a circle with a cross below it, we may say that the Rooks are functionally associated with Venus. So, the Rooks' nature is Saturn/Venus.
The Knights are also called Horses, and they move atypically by jumping over other pieces, much like flying. Therefore, the Knights may be associated with Mercury, the Roman name of Hermes, the messenger god, with winged sandals.
So this is what we tried to correlate the chess pieces with the planetary movements. Let us know what you feel about the connection. Thanks for reading!
