When I was born, my grandmother had done my birth map. Together with the traditional circular graph with the placements and passages that were overhead at the time of my birth, the report (which I am pretty sure came from an old -fashioned computer program) also came up with a description about my life. Among many other things, this report told me that I would be happiest if I had it alone.
This is not nice to read as a young girl (or a 36-year-old woman). It is also a line of text that I unconsciously internalized – until I have learned to accept astrology as general energetic guidance instead of a sparkling (and sometimes ominous) prophecy.
The lesson came during a stint that worked a website that was fully devoted to astrology, a job that I started only a few months before the astrological tree of 2019. Suddenly chats about the stars and planets everywhere, which made my work pretty fun. My understanding of astrology deeper when I worked with experts in space, all of whom actively predicted a rising year in 2020. I took this with a grain of salt. How bad could it be?
I was aware of remarkable transits that took place daily. I was tailored to the moon. To the end of my Saturn return, I stealed myself for the inevitable shadow period. Eclips and retrogrades and their shadow periods also appeared; I was always on the watch. Of course I also concentrated on positive passages, enthusiastic about beneficial planets such as Jupiter and Venus to shower goodness on me. I used different placements to check my horoscope daily, weekly and monthly, the better to know what would come.
The problem was when I started paying at A lot of attention for the stars and planets, my life on earth was ravaged by fear.
If I am told in advance that my day will suck, it will probably suck. Struggles with someone close to me? See how I manifest it out of fear. Similarly, if the stars say that my week is destined to be sparkling and abundant, my mind can let that happen.
Astrology, tarot or another energetic medium are intended to offer a path to reflection, no prediction. And although astrology can (and again) predict great events in the collective experience, it can rely on it as an individual, especially daily, in something of a self-fulfilling prophecy-althans for me.
Heavenly events undoubtedly influence human life. We live on a planet in a solar system – we are all part of the same things. But it all affects us all differently (because we are all so different!). External energy is important, but individual experience is also important. A Saturn return does not look the same as for me. No transit will pull us in the same way in the same way.
That is a kind of beauty: astrology is a tool that helps you understand yourself and your own energy in the context of something bigger. More often than not, that cannot be included in a paragraph that also applies to millions of others.
Nowadays I practice an ignorance is-bliss approach to astrology. I welcome moon phases and embezzlement with small, relevant rituals, but I can’t (and don’t want to) tell you when the next Mercury retrograde starts. And if all my technology is noticed and there are some major communication savings, I can deal with it at the moment. It makes no sense to emphasize the days and weeks.
Since I received that birth card from my grandmother, I have learned to break it down and others (who much more skilled) have done the same thing. There is a lot of individual energy in it (I am a triple Waterman, with Venus in the board on my ascendant, if you care about it), but that does not mean that I am destined to be to be only. I like community and partnership. It just means that I have to spend time with myself and honor that time to feel the most on me.
It took me longer than I want to admit to release the original take completely and to embrace what I know it is true about myself. Astrology is so many things, but on a personal level it is open to interpretation. So if you choose to look at the stars and planets for guidance and insight, I propose to do this with a spirit that is as open as the universe itself.
