Astrology was always a language that both intrigued and mystified me. But as much as I wanted to learn more and understand the energetic makeup and complexities of my natal chart, it always felt like an accumulation of diverse and contradicting influences to me. But recently, I felt the push to seek out a natal chart reading with Julia, an astrologer I didn't know very well, to get some clarity about vocation, path, talents and purpose. Having just embarked on a new career path, still defining it for myself, still feeling a nagging self-doubt about my ability to carry it through and own it fully, I wanted to see if it would be in alignment with the unique constellation at play in my astrological houses and planets.
From the moment Julia started to walk me through my chart, all the pieces that had felt like scattered musical notes on a sheet of paper began to sound like music. A very distinct, moving and resonating piece of music. The fading influence of my Rising sign (Scorpio). The big, widening importance of my Moon sign (Aquarius). The seminal, grounding force of my Sun sign (Libra). The overwhelming presence of the Air element in my chart. The earthy, witchy, healing power of Venus in the sign Virgo. The striking, super concentrated cluster of planets talking to each other in one single area of my chart. The presence of Chiron (which illuminates the place where we will be challenged to grow the most and heal a primal wound) in the Fifth house of family. Everything made music together.
And at the end, something beautiful happened: I *recognized* all of these intuitive insights. It felt like I had come home somehow. These energies at play had been there all along. Inside me. Above me. Speaking through me. Speaking for me.
Sometimes all we need to do to feel radically expanded, is to come back to the unique and mysterious energetic makeup that is our natal chart. To look inside. To look out at the stars. Especially when, on a whim, you decided to follow your intuition and listen to another human, a magician, gifted with the ability to read your sky like a piece of music.
I highly, highly recommend her. :) read more
