Astrology: Stars Aligned

Introduction to Astrology

Astrology is so much more than just knowing your sun sign. It's like a list of ingredients that you can mix and match to create your own unique recipe, YOU. I love that astrology serves as a way to understand the energies, movements, and alignments that influence our lives. It has been an incredible tool for guiding myself.

Astrology has always intrigued me. Yes, I’m that person who will ask you, “What’s your sign?” as an icebreaker. But just because you tell me your sun sign doesn’t mean I know who you are or how you operate as a person. Most people are familiar with their sun sign and those characteristics. Whereas others may know their “Big Three”—the Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. While I wouldn’t call myself an expert, I’d say I have a solid understanding of birth charts.

There’s so much more to astrology than just knowing your sign. It’s an amazing tool for deeper self-understanding and connection with others. Personally, my Big Three is Gemini Sun, Capricorn Moon, and Taurus Rising. With a Gemini Sun, I value freedom and new ideas, with an outgoing and curious spirit that sometimes leads me to juggle multiple things at once. My Capricorn Moon brings a grounded focus, valuing planning, structure, and mental preparation—it’s what keeps me steady and on track. Then, my Taurus Rising means I come across as calm, reliable, and down-to-earth; often giving a sense of stability and trust.

My Personal Connection with Astrology

As a kid, I would always flip to the astrology section in magazines and relate to others of my sign or around my birthday. However, my connection with astrology deepened when I found myself in the midst of major life changes. Recognizing the link between my current events and my personality traits and energies intrigued me even more. Before I knew it, I was dedicating most of my time to studying, researching, and collecting my own data. Now, it’s been a practice of mine for over ten years.

Astrology has provided me with insights into both my personal and romantic relationships, particularly regarding compatibility. It has helped me understand why I attract certain types of people and how I connect with others. I’ve learned so much about my own nature, including my strengths and even my blind spots. Astrology has served as a guiding tool during significant life changes and decision-making.

My personal experiences with astrology are why I want to share this knowledge with others; it truly is a valuable and useful tool.

Astrology’s Role in My Coaching Practice

In my coaching sessions, astrology is a tool to help clients understand themselves better and navigate life’s challenges. By looking at the placements of the planets in their charts, we can gain perspective on life themes or challenges they might be facing. Some clients might not be interested in the science of astrology, but they recognize and appreciate how it helps them better themselves.

I like to think about it like how meteorologists forecast the weather. We understand that the weatherman is not telling us how to live our lives. Rather they are giving us information that may help us make our own decisions. That’s how I approach Astrology.

For me personally, astrology helped me express myself, accept who I am, and gain a broader perspective on life. It taught me about the things I can control and the things I can’t.

For my clients, astrology has been a transformative tool in building self-awareness, facing transitions, and making decisions. It has helped many realize where they’re being too hard on themselves or trying to force change in ways that aren’t natural for them. Astrology is a way to appreciate your natural tendencies and work with, rather than against, who you truly are.

Common Questions & Misconceptions

There are plenty of misconceptions about astrology. Some people see it as pure entertainment, and it can be fun to treat it that way. But when you dive deeper into your entire chart, it can reveal habits, hidden tendencies, and strategies to overcome obstacles. I know astrology isn’t for everyone—it’s a complex tool. But what I offer is a simplified way to focus on what lies in front of you or what’s coming up, making it accessible and actionable.

Astrology goes beyond stereotypes. It’s not just about labeling people but about understanding the depth and individuality in each person. In my practice, I use it to help clients find clarity and connection in their lives.

Conclusion: Why Astrology is a Valuable Life Tool

Astrology is an incredible tool for growth, self-discovery, life planning, and gaining perspective. Combined with my coaching services, it can help us accomplish goals and foster confidence, understanding, and acceptance within ourselves. I’m confident in the work we can do together through astrology, and I encourage you to consider it as a valuable addition to your journey. Whether it’s for guidance, clarity, or self-acceptance, astrology is here to help you grow. If you’re interested in exploring it further, I’d love to work with you.
