Imagine that your birth chart is a cosmic fingerprint. This is like a celestial chart drawn up exactly at the time of your first breath. Intriguing, right? How would you interpret this astral template? Let’s go on Be Well Academy.
Let’s start by discussing the sun sign. When someone asks you, “What sign are you?”, it’s that one. It’s your core identity. Much like the main character from a novel, it represents you. Consider yourself the Leo’s lionhearted protagonist, who is also creative and dramatic. However, you are much more than the star of your show.
Next is your Moon sign, or emotional undercurrent. Imagine it to be a journal that contains your innermost feelings. While your Sun sign might focus on what you portray on stage or in public, your Moon sign will reveal what goes down behind closed drapes. Are you a Gemini moon? Expect an emotional terrain that is constantly changing and filled with curiousity.
Now let’s talk about ascendants. Imagine that they are the masks you wear when you meet new people, a first impression. Capricorns might appear to be responsible and grounded even if they are secretly planning their next adventure.
Also, the planets have a prominent role to play in this celestial tale. Jupiter and Saturn teach lessons through challenges, Uranus sparks innovations, Neptune whispers dream and illusions, Pluto transforms powers dynamics.
The houses are the next layer in this astrological “onion”–twelve segments which represent different life areas, like career (10th), relationship (7th), and self-identity (1st). You can think of the houses as rooms within a mansion. Every planet will bring its own energy to each room.
Do not forget the angles–the angles created by planets, which can create harmony or conflict in us. Think of them as characters collaborating or clashing within our storylines. Trines can be smooth while squares need a lot of action!
Astrology, however, is not a set science. Instead it’s a way to predict human behavior. Mercury retrograde does NOT mean chaos is inevitable! Think of it as a chance for reflection instead of chaos.
Mercury retrograde caused me to send an email I intended for my boss, straight into the inbox of my ex. Lesson learned: double-check addresses during cosmic storms!
Why would you bother to decipher these heavenly symbols? Imagine learning why certain habits endure longer than the gum on your shoe soles — or understanding those unfathomable vibes you get from some people even before they greet you.
What’s more, astrology offers a way to see the hidden path that lies beneath layers of stars. Who doesn’t enjoy front-row tickets for their life’s premiere?
As we explore the universe together through birth charts, keep in mind that laughter helps to lift any burden–even those of planets. No matter if you’re a skeptic scientist or a devout follower, there is something fascinating about gazing up into the sky and pondering whether twinkling light could have an impact on earthly matters.
