Okay, so I wanted to mess around with this whole “true sky astrology” thing. I’ve always been a bit curious, you know, about how the stars and planets might actually line up with what’s going on in my life. Sounds a bit out there, I know, but I thought, why not give it a shot?
First, I needed to get my birth chart done. It’s like a snapshot of where all the celestial bodies were when I popped into this world. Turns out, there are tons of websites and apps that will do this for you if you just input your birth date, time, and location. So I found one that looked legit, typed in my details, and boom, there it was—my very own birth chart. It was kind of crazy, all these symbols and lines. I had no clue what it all meant yet.
I started by just staring at the chart, trying to make sense of it. I noticed there were a bunch of symbols that represented different planets and signs. Like, there’s this circle thing for the sun, a crescent for the moon, and a few other squiggly lines that I guessed were other planets. Each of them was placed in a different section of the chart, which I learned were called “houses.” Each house represents a different area of life, like career, relationships, and personal growth. Pretty cool, right?
Then I dug a bit deeper into what each planet meant. The sun is supposed to be your core identity, the moon is your emotions, and Mercury is how you communicate. I read somewhere that depending on which sign and house these planets are in, it can tell you a lot about yourself. So, I started to piece together what mine meant. My sun is in Leo, which apparently means I’m confident and like to be the center of attention—no surprises there! And my moon is in Cancer, which suggests I’m super sensitive, even if I don’t always show it.
After that, I looked at the angles between the planets, which are called “aspects.” These can be harmonious or challenging, based on how they’re positioned. It’s like a cosmic conversation between different parts of your personality. I found out I have a few squares and oppositions, which supposedly create tension and can lead to personal growth if you work through them. I started to see how these might relate to some struggles I’ve had, especially with balancing my need for independence with my desire for close relationships. It made me think a lot.
The next thing I did was try to understand how the current positions of the planets—transits—might be affecting me. I found a site that showed where the planets are now and how they interact with my birth chart. I noticed that Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck, was moving into my seventh house, which is all about partnerships. It felt like a sign to focus on my relationships, so I started to make more of an effort to connect with people and work through some issues I’d been avoiding.
To keep track of everything, I started a journal. Every day, I wrote down where the planets were and how I felt. I noted any significant events or interactions and tried to see if there were any patterns. It was kind of a pain at first, but after a while, it became a cool little ritual. I started to see that during certain planetary alignments, I would have similar experiences or emotions. Like, when Mercury was retrograde, I definitely had more communication issues and tech glitches. Go figure!
- Birth charts are wild: Seriously, they’re like a cosmic fingerprint. Mine showed me a lot about my personality traits and life patterns.
- Planets have personalities: Each planet represents different energies, and where they are in your chart matters.
- Transits are real: The current positions of the planets do seem to affect my mood and experiences. It’s like they set the tone for what’s happening in my life.
- Journaling helps: Keeping track of the planetary movements and my own experiences helped me see the connections.
Here’s what I learned:
So, yeah, that’s my journey into true sky astrology. It’s been a bit of a wild ride, but honestly, I’ve learned a lot about myself. It’s not about predicting the future or anything, but more about understanding myself better and seeing how I fit into the bigger picture. I’m still not sure how much I believe in all of it, but it’s definitely given me some food for thought. I think I’ll keep up with my journal and see where this whole astrology thing takes me. Who knows what else I might discover?
