So, I started this whole thing called the “Northpoint Astrology Journal,” which, honestly, I didn’t even know what it was at first. I just saw it mentioned somewhere and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I’m always up for trying new things, especially if it involves a bit of self-reflection and maybe figuring out what the heck is going on with my life.
First, I grabbed a notebook and a pen, the classic combo. You can use any notebook, but I found one with a cool celestial design on the cover, which I thought was fitting. Then, I needed to figure out my birth details. This was a bit of a mission because I had to call my mom to confirm the exact time I was born. Turns out, I arrived at 3:47 AM. Who knew?
Next, I went online and found this website where you can create your natal chart. You just punch in your birth date, time, and place, and it spits out this colorful wheel with all these weird symbols. I won’t lie; it looked like some ancient code at first. But I took my time and slowly read and try to understand this. Luckily, the site had explanations for each symbol and how they relate to each other. It was a lot of information, but I just focused on the basics for now, like my Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.
- Sun: This is your core identity, like the essence of who you are.
- Moon: This represents your emotions and inner self.
- Rising: This is how you present yourself to the world, your outer persona.
Once I had my chart, I started journaling about my initial thoughts. What did each placement mean to me? Did it resonate with my personality? How did I feel about it all? I wrote down everything that came to mind, no filter. It was surprisingly therapeutic to just let it all out on paper.
Then, I decided to track the daily movements of the planets. I found another website that shows the current positions of the planets, and I started noting them down in my journal each day. I also wrote about how I was feeling and what was happening in my life. The idea was to see if there were any correlations between the planetary positions and my daily experiences. Over time, I started to see some patterns. Like, when Mercury was retrograde, communication seemed to go haywire. I had more misunderstandings and tech issues during those periods. It was pretty wild to observe these connections.
I also started incorporating other things into my journal, like tarot card readings and dream interpretations. It became this all-encompassing space for self-reflection and exploration. I would draw cards, write about my dreams, and connect them all back to my natal chart and the current planetary positions.
Honestly, this whole process has been eye-opening. It’s helped me understand myself better and become more mindful of the energies around me. It’s not about predicting the future or anything like that. It’s more about gaining insights into my own patterns and tendencies. Plus, it’s just a fun and creative way to document my life and inner world.
So, that’s my journey with the Northpoint Astrology Journal so far. It’s been a wild ride, full of self-discovery and cosmic connections. I’m still learning and exploring, and I’m excited to see where this path takes me. If you’re curious about astrology or just looking for a new way to journal, I highly recommend giving it a try. You might be surprised at what you uncover about yourself and the world around you. And just have fun with it, that’s the most important part!
