So, I got into this whole night chart astrology thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started by figuring out my own chart because, you know, gotta start with yourself, right?
First off, I needed my birth details – the usual stuff like date, exact time, and place. I found this site, entered all my info, and boom – there was my chart, looking like a pizza with all sorts of weird symbols.
I spent a good few days just staring at it, trying to make sense of all the lines and symbols. It was overwhelming, I won’t lie.
Then, I started digging into what each part of the chart means. You’ve got the planets, the houses, and the aspects – it’s a whole language on its own. I learned that the planets are like the characters in your life’s story, the houses are the different areas of your life, and the aspects are how these characters interact with each other.
- Planets: Like, the Sun is your basic self, the Moon is your emotions, Mercury is how you think and talk, and so on.
- Houses: The first house is all about you, the second house is about your stuff, the third is communication, etc. There are 12 of these, just like the zodiac signs.
- Aspects: These are the angles between planets. Some angles are chill, like trines and sextiles, while others, like squares and oppositions, can mean some drama.
After getting a basic grip on the planets and houses, I started looking at how they all connected in my chart.
This took some time, but I gradually pieced together a basic understanding of my chart. It was like reading a story about myself, but in this weird, symbolic language.
To apply all this, I started tracking the Moon’s phases and how they affected my mood. It was pretty interesting to see the patterns emerge. For instance, I noticed I’m more productive during the waxing phase and more introspective during the waning phase. Pretty cool, right?
I also started paying attention to other planetary movements, like when Mercury goes retrograde. I even marked it on my calendar to remind myself to double-check communications and avoid signing contracts during those times. I felt like I was finally getting the hang of this astrology thing, and it was really empowering to have this new way of understanding myself and the world around me. Using this knowledge, I planned my days better, understood my reactions to things, and even felt more connected to the universe. It’s been a journey of self-discovery, and I’m still learning, but it’s been totally worth it.
It’s not about predicting the future or anything like that. It’s more about understanding yourself better and, maybe, being a bit more prepared for what life throws your way. It’s a work in progress, and I’m still learning, but it’s been a fun and insightful journey so far.
