My name is Avery and for the past seven years I have dedicated myself to the study of Astrology and Tarot for personal fun. For a long time, I viewed this work and hobby as a private calling, but after seeing the transformative impact my readings had on those closest to me and their personal encouragement, I decided it was time to open my doors to a wider audience!
My journey has taught me that these systems are more than just hobbies, they are amazing tools for self discovery and alignment not just for myself but for those around me as well. I am SO excited to offer my knowledge to help others navigate and translate the whispers of what the stars have to say to them! . ⋆｡°✩
⋆ My Mission:
After years of experiencing and seeing others experiencing cold and gatekept readings, I decided to be the change I wanted to see. I'm here to bridge the gap between esoteric insight and genuine human connection. my goal is not to become popular and harbor money but to connect and inspire others. I want to know my clients, create inspiring connections that create chain reactions, and give others a light they can use to move forward. While i'm not sure where this small business will lead me I hope im able to make my goal come true :))

༻ ☽ ⊱⋆⊰ ☾ ༺
my 11th house theory consists of having either your MC falls in the 11th house or the 10th house ruler in the 11th. i think having this placement makes you achieve a dream or wish of yours. the 11th house follows the 10th house of legacy reputation and career. it’s the “house of acquisition” also called the house of good fortune and house of hopes and dream traditionally called “the house of hopes and expectations” it may not be necessarily a dream job for everyone with this placement, but something with the career fulfills a dream or wish.
something i’ve noticed is teachers people really connect with or form a strong bond with tend to have the teachers sun or have their prominent placements as the persons 9th house.
for solar returns if you make it whole sign the first month is the first house. so if my solar return started march 8th april 8th would be the first month which would be represented by the 1st houses ruler. i’ve noticed the saturn ruled months in someones solar return chart tend to be the hardest.
if you have mars or saturn in the 10th house and venus or jupiter in the first, you might have a double type of personality. mars in the 10th especially if it’s out of sect will make someone come off as rude, harsh, impulsive, and might have multiple reputation downfalls. saturn makes a person have bad anxiety, prone to loneliness, and build harsh discipline to themselves. this is called “overcoming”.
people who are really stand off ish about their emotions or just private in general tend to have their moon in the fourth house.
yes the moon can show you where you find your comfort but look at your IC and it’s ruler, this can also show you how you act when you are the most comfortable. i actually made a post about it! here
2nd house suns and stelliums really know their worth. they exude the aura of fully being in their body and people around them tend be affected by their decisions because they come off inspirational. they know their worth and it’s evident in their daily life.
4th house venus’s with extroverted charts or angular house emphasis are really double sided lovers. what i mean by that is their outside personality doesn’t match how they love or how they are in romantic relationships. it reminds me of avril lavignes song “complicated”.
every aries moon i’ve met has a complicated relationship with their mom. really any malefic ruled moon: scorpio, aries, capricorn, and aquarius. aries moons though hold so much anger to their moms though. scorpio moons i usually tend to find the relationship being very manipulative and possessive. capricorn moon their was some loneliness, coldness and discipline involved with the mother. for aquarius moon the mom could’ve been very independent and unwilling to compromise or be very unpredictable.
heavy saturn influence = pop rock, goth, grunge
people with 9th or 8th house axis influence really like ghost hunting, the paranormal, gore, scary movies etc
i’ve noticed people with leo risings and saturn in the first tend to “peacock” or flaunt the theme of the house that their venus is in. this is because venus rules the 10th which overcomes the 10th making venus soften the saturn influences when the native starts to be hard on themselves etc.
in whole sign if you have a planet in the first house look and see if it rules another house. like for example if you have venus in the first look at the libra and taurus houses. the theme of those houses can show up in your personality.
if you want another way to look at your chart make your part of fortune your ascendant. this can show you your body’s fate that it was destined with.

“The Star” Themed: what makes you feel inspired? what makes you feel alive again? what gives you hope? how do you feel connected?
pick one you feel drawn to!
1st group- black gloomy bear with red eyes
2nd group- all black gloomy bear
3rd group- bat skelanimal
1st group
(tarot: justice, page of wands, ace of coins. lenormand: anchor, rider. channeling: red, brick, power, grit, action, hands in the dirt, tangible results, hephaestus, smith, “ Try Everything- Shakira” )
“I won't give up, no, I won't give in 'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything I wanna try even though I could fail”
group one, you all find your purpose, your rejuvenation in experience. you thrive off of training your muscles, getting into the dirt, breathing in your experience into your body. you are the most practical out of the three groups, but that doesn’t make your connection weaker in the slightest. your connection to what guides you is found in possibility, in a child’s first steps, in a toddlers laughter, in planning out the possibility of your dreams. writing down the skeleton of it like your dream house blue prints. this group feels like Anng from the Last Air Bender, making light of your situation but always finding a way to achieve your dreams if something gets in your way the first time. you are truly life’s student, a visionary.
you are shown signs in real life situations, in practicality, in logic. cause and affect. is the situation that you are faced with fair, if it isn’t why and how so. if it is how do you reap your rewards? You build your resources yourself, through earned logical experience. medallions, your grandmothers advice written in a passed down family heirloom.
some of you in this group are more open minded than others and some keep to themselves, however you all test to see what ideas stick and what doesn’t. some go out and use knowledge that’s new to them but some stick to their guns and use what they know is right.
whatever guides you speaks through your passion that gives you physical goosebumps, the resilience you have when things start to fall down, your ability to ground yourself in a world with so many thoughts, opinions, and personalities. your restraint to what doesn’t work is what guides you, your ability to form a stable foundation for yourself and others. going off that some of you might inspire others or help others by providing the foundation and support they need by being yourself and following the passion you have.
2nd group
(tarot: hanged man reversed, 5 of swords reversed, eight of wands reversed + the empress lenormand: moon, lily, crossroads, oracle: the mirror, channeled: leo, sun, broken glass, shatter me, “Try” by Pink, bing bong from inside out, periwinkle from the tinker bell movies, bear in the big blue house, “kitchen sink” 21 pilots.)
“Are you searching for purpose? Then write something, yeah it might be worthless Then paint something then, it might be wordless Pointless curses, nonsense verses You'll see purpose start to surface No one else is dealing with your demons Meaning maybe defeating them Could be the beginning of your meaning, friend”
you will be forced to a stop until you realize and come to terms with your reality. the ones that guide you communicate by frustrating you. they force you into a period where forgiveness needs its hand shaken. things will start to feel sluggish like no progress or movement is being made, you can only walk so far without the rest of your body.
a lot of you try to push a part you down, or not accept some part of your reality. some of you guys day dream, some of you guys drown yourself in work, whatever type of avoidance it is the ones that guide you shut it out. they want you to reconnect with part of yourself that may have been deemed too different, forgotten, or too hard to understand. you group two are very creative.
the way you connect is sitting with that uncomfortable feeling and making art out of it, finding wisdom in what deemed itself empty and useless. what can you create out of what you want to avoid? some of you also have a problem with projection. like a mirror you can twist, morph, shatter it.
the message here is to stop focusing on what should be stop focusing on what could be, stop focusing on what you need to control and sit with the feeling instead of immediately acting on it. what does it feel like? where did it come from? sit with the ego, write down what it tells you, become familiar with its words and phrases like you would a friend. how does it treat you? this is how you feel inspired. reconnecting with what was once lost by the busying of the world. reconnecting with what was once ridiculed, once exiled, once silenced.
3rd group
(tarot: nine of coins reversed, four of swords reversed, the tower, nine of wands. lenormand: dog, clouds, heart. oracle: the hunter, the king. channeled: silly mistakes, capricorn, blown away- carrie underwood, tag your it- melanie martinez, atlantis- seafret, oregon cliffs and beach on a rainy day, pinky promises, wrapped gift, business casual, choclate mints)
“Tell me why this has to end Oh, no, oh, no I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall We built this town on shaky ground I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh, no We built it up to pull it down”
oh my sweet third group. you connect by connection itself, but when it ends. the ones that guide you communicate through other people, through others questionable motivations. what are these people teaching you? you group three are very resilient so when it comes to someone or something making you feel insecure, extremely burnt out, it’s important. you guys are loyal to a fault so you get spoken to through huge realizations, ones that shake your entire foundation.
you feel inspired with transformation, with reclaiming what was lost, with forming independence, fighting for yourself, for truth, for respect. you shouldn’t let someone take advantage of you when you have so much to offer that is so precious.
the ones that guide you communicate through the whispers of doubt, a little whisper in between the confusion that makes your skin jump with a “that was it that’s what i need to follow”.
to you ending something isn’t the hard part, the hard part was holding onto something that felt so heavy on your soul. when you let go, when you feel the cold winded breeze on your face, when the water hits your skin, when the spice reacts with your taste buds waking you up from a trance. you are finally back home with yourself. 
you are yourselves biggest cheerleader. you may not realize it but these people that make you feel so drained see that, and that’s why they try to rope you in for longer than you need to be there. you are wise, stable, grounded, loving, loyal, you follow your heart and never doubt it. these people see that and leach off of it. in the whispers of doubt, when things become heavy again, when the body feels like collapsing, ask yourself, what needs to be let go?
I smile on cold nights when the wind bites my skin and blows hard enough to lift the hair off my shoulders. Not because it makes me feel an adrenaline rush, but because the adrenaline rush was always with you.
taurus:
I find comfort in growing roses from my leaking blood trails. I tell myself that I find beauty in upheaval. Pouring a velvet covering over traumas and calling it healing.
gemini:
my thoughts are the jewelry i wear
cancer:
you adore the comfort of me and sit willingly in the cradle of my arms, but something i tense up my body for is your realization of the depth of me
leo:
i think one of the scariest realizations ive come to is that my worthiness people hold in bottom of their backpack. it's the lipstick melting in the console of your car in the summer sun. the friendship necklace you wore daily in elementary school that's catching dust in the bottom drawer of your nightstand.
virgo:
is this why i am the way i am?
why i topple over myself to save people the discomfort of expressing their emotions?
to verbalize and take on their hurt, their guilt, their sadness?
to save them from a non existent person that will criticize their vulnerability? that will snarl and spit acid at the core of who they fundamentally are?
i'm in a marathon sprinting and spreading myself thin to save people from the burden of ever feeling misunderstood when in reality i am the person needing saving and the marathon track is an endless loop of misconstrued strengths that are actually traumas
libra:
if you were a scented glitter gel pen you would be black cherry. pretty but so bitter sweet.
scorpio:
the betrayal made me feel like I was in a reality tv show where the world wasn't real and the background music was the only thing that could speak what i couldn't
sagittarius:
the wind seems far more soul like. it bites at the exposed. ruthless. alive. the more you run the more revealed it will be. the inevitable truth will always be there.
capricorn:
my anger is found in the crevices of my room where I stuff the unwanted parts of myself into
aquarius:
i am on the balance scales of comfort or truth.
do i abandon who i am to feel the touch of warmth ive always yearned for?
or
do i give in to my prayer of temple and touch? but they already sense it.
the wildness behind behind my vow
how my mere presence burns an altar of peace
i think my inner scripture was written wrong and everyone can sense it. it is my power and my weakness.
my confidence that helps me keep my head high
is the very thing that gets me exiled
burned
hung.
how does one live with that fact?
pisces:
I have sewed on body parts of peoples limbs - you still live here

libra and taurus mars are both in detriment but the difficulty of the placement shows differently. libras will avoid conflict often developing avoidant attachment. James Charles is a good example of libra mars. they remind me of mean girls that say snarky comments only you pick up on because of their passive aggressiveness. taurus’s will stay in bad situations because they hate change and are loyal to a default. they have a problem with holding in anger then lashing out at something after it boils over that probably didn’t prompt the reaction. taurus mars however when they deem it fit will do confrontation, they are the bull after all. or they will completely forget you exist.
people with heavy 6th house energy (stellium, chart ruler, sect ruler, nn, 1st house ruler) carry so much burden and responsibility. a lot of famous people have a 6th house emphasis. they don’t have autonomy over their own choices, becoming a slave to the public. they have to deal with constant opinions, views and threats on a daily basis. other than celebrities people with 6th house emphasis are seen as the person that carry’s a load of responsibility or hardship. think a single mother living in an apartment with four kids in debt and working three jobs. that’s what 6th house energy feels like. that’s also why mars loves being in the 6th house. it gives you the energy to persevere through these themes. you feel empowered instead of drained (for the most part LOL)
IMO, which is subject to change, placidus is how we view our reality, especially when we are younger than 30. hellenistic astrology, whole sign, shows us the whole entire theme of our whole life. it’s like a background noise. sometimes it’s louder than other times but it’s always there. both are valid. science evolves and with it so does our views and how we do things. just because it’s new doesn’t discount it’s validity. it needs testing, sure, but it’s just as valid as traditional techniques. we didn’t find the meaning of venus on a whim we tested it. we looked at its patterns. that is how we figured out how astrology and its aspects and patterns worked. if there is a repeating theme we have discovered in astrology recently it’s worth looking at.
the north node can act like a malefic because its excess. it represents a theme that is being highlighted, that will appear over and over again. depending on what planet it’s next to and house it is in shows where that excess is and if it’s good or bad.
i didn’t believe that your rising sign can show the type of health issues you might have until i actually looked into it and realized it’s 100% true LMAO. especially if the chart ruler is badly conflicted.
in synastry whatever house your ascendant lands in can show you the theme you bring to that persons life. (whole sign)
be careful if your venus hits someone’s dark houses. (2,6,8,12) looking back at my relationships my venus hit one of my ex’s 8th house. the relationship was built on secrets it was hidden “taboo” and they kept me around just to gain off of me. for another my venus hit their 6th house. after the relationship ended they told me i was the burden and blamed the whole entire entity of the relationship failing on me bc they didn’t want to face the fact the love they supplied was shit so they projected🤯( their venus was in their 6th house natally) 🤷♀️ be careful out here divas. (ofc this depends on how it’s aspected etc etc etc)
unfortunately scorpio risings and gemini risings usually always have a romantic relationship of some sort with their 12th house ruler. it’s because venus rules their 12th 😭. for scorpios it’s libra for gemini it’s taurus placements. and it never ends up well 🫠 (usually)
people obsessed with s3x or use it as a coping mechanism, or like use their body to feel accepted i’ve found have jupiter ruling the 8th house (pisces and sagittarius) or have a stellium in the 8th
look into your POF to see where your luck comes from along with your vertex (fated points) these two together will open your eyes to a lot. my POF is in the 8th ruled by my mercury in the 2nd. i usually find business partners, friends, security, or a boost in my luck when i let go of something or go through a really hard transition, explain hidden knowledge or things that are taboo to others. my fated partners/people/decisions/themes i’m supposed to meet and go through (vertex in cancer in the 9th) will expand my views on spirituality, deal with religion/higher learning, meeting mentors or people that will help me learn, emotional maturity, heavy spiritual moments/paths, traveling etc.

this one’s a little shorter but it still have some good info! i hope you guys enjoy x
pc: esha tewari, if anyone knows who specifically took these photos lmk so i can credit!
aquarius mars always try to act the opposite of what they typically feel. act very aloof and stubborn when they are upset unless conflicted. their motivations for life can be very different from the normal or progressive.
11th house stellium or heavy prominence always are known for their friend groups or have had something prominate happen within friend groups. these are the people are usually head of the friend group or just have a lot of social connections. can be very progressive or future oriented as well.
jupiter in the 10th can be a person very well known amongst people especially if it’s connected to the fifth or 11th house in anyway.
moon in the 7th or benifics (venus, jupiter) in the 1st and 10th can show that as you grow older or throughout your life you will hold a significant amount of power, be a leader, or hold some sort of importance in your life.
if you really want to know about your personality and how people perceive you look at your first house in whole sign. traditionally the first house is the only house that describes you. looking at the planets in the first and the ruler of the first can show you a lot about yourself! i only use placidus if i want to see how someone experiences the world. ex: venus first housers can seem bubbly, approachable, and pleasing. mars first housers can seem jarring, rude, intimidating, competitive etc. i’ve also noticed if no planets are in the first house, where ever the ruler is can show where that person places their identity.
depending what your sect leader is (sun above or below the horizon) can illuminate a prominent theme in your life. also the condition of the sect leader can show how the overall condition of a natives life will go. ex: if the sun is below the horizon it is a night chart making the sect leader the moon. if the moon is in its fall like scorpio the native will struggle to fulfill achievements and shows overall poor health in the natives life. If we have a day chart and the sun is in its domicile the native has the resources to have good health and have good achievements. the condition and aspects should also be taken into account.
whatever planet is retrograde in your chart, if any, shows where you will learn life lessons differently than most. in most modern practices astrologers have noticed people with planets in retrograde form the lessons “internally” first rather than externally. it can make whatever planet in retrograde exhausted, as if it keeps hitting road blocks the moment it progresses.
whatever planets are in the 9th house and the 9th house ruler shows your connection to the divine and your belief system. i’ve also noticed people who’s sect ruler or chart ruler rules the 9th tends to have a very prominent theme of religion, travel, or higher studies come up a lot more than most. it can also point to increased intuition.
i’m not sure if this is a scorpio rising thing because i’ve only tested it on scorpio risings but i’ve noticed that the ninth house ruler can show which deity’s you might feel closer to in polytheistic religions. ex: leo ruled- a sun ruled deity ex: venus ruled a love ruled deity etc. i’m not sure if it’s just because of the moon ruled ninth house or not so let me know in the comments your opinions!
if you really want to understand how a zodiac sign operates or feels, look at a celebrity with that rising sign + prominate 1st house placements. a good one i recommend for pisces is michael jackson, especially when he was younger. he has a pisces rising and a pisces moon as his sect ruler. you can see the piscean look he has in his eyes. very soft spoken and shy in interviews, dream like and empathetic. his whole life revolved around music, and he actually learned to express himself and take his identity back from his abusive childhood by being musical, dreamy, and letting the music come to him through “god”. if that doesn’t scream pisces i don’t know what does.
look to see if a planet or house has two benefics reside on the opposite side of it. if both benifics do and the planet or house isn’t being aspected by a seven degrees or less by any planet especially malefics (mars or saturn) it creates a bonification by enclosure. this is also the case if it’s by ray, bodily or mixed.
taurus placements love music, specifically dancing. I’ve found they can have naturally good rhythm.
all 5th house stellium or prominent placements remind me of chapel roan and her “scandals”. childish behavior. just wants to have fun and do things for pleasure. you guys can be a lot of fun and are natural flirts and romantic but you stay that way. maturing and growing older gets difficult with these people.
venus being negatively aspected, in a negative house, or in fall shows sexual trauma and possibly even experiences with SA and DV. can be hyper or asexual.
gemini risings are little elf sprites. mischief. 😭
a lot of sagittarius, gemini, virgo, risings can have multiple marriages because of the double bodied nature of the signs ruling their 7th house.
having a malefic ruled fourth house (aquarius, aries, capricorn, scorpio) can show a hard childhood but the reason for it can be shown by where the malefic is placed in the chart. 2nd house money problems. 8th house death, secrets, taboo subjects. 12th house drugs, self sabotaging behaviors. 3rd verbal abuse, mental differences, sibling issues. 10th career/public pressure, authority issues.
okay that’s all for now! tysm for reading <3

This is actually pretty accurate for the girls/more feminine presenting people with this placement as well!! There is obviously some odd ones i don’t agree with but almost all are pretty accurate!
do you ever have those moments where you are cherishing someone’s soul for a quick second? where you can feel your whole body go soft as you watch someone be unmistakably themselves? i’ve noticed this energy is usually the persons IC or 4th house energy being expressed.
here are some observations of them!
· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·
aries fourth house
they become really loud, forceful and teasing. they might impulsively go do something just to see what your reaction will be and giggle while doing it. play fighting and bursts of energy. competitions and random dancing or flexing out of silliness. drumming their fingers. admiring what they did for a split second and feeling proud.
gemini fourth house
yapper central. talking out loud while balancing something in their hand and writing something down with another while cooking food on a hot oven top. texting you funny one liners in the middle of conversations. imitating voices or people. getting mad when someone misses a detail about a topic. finishing your sentences
virgo 4th house
“this would look so good on you”- a keen eye but directed towards you. fixing and tidying up small things around their space. how much care they put into something so small. frequent check ups and thoughtful gentle criticism. their hands finding the collar of your shirt or your necklace. remembering what you like and small details in daily life. follow up questions.
cancer 4th house
the mom friend. offering comfort in every gesture. curling up into a familiar position for comfort. talking softly to things. keeping keep sakes close to them. reacting emotionally to small things like a smell or a phrase someone says. rewatching or listening to things on repeat for the nostalgia.
libra 4th house
changing the lights or music to fit the mood they are in. admiring the look of something like sunsets, photos, pictures. the way the smile when they ease a conflict or the way they look when something isn’t harmonic LMAO. watching reflections like windows phone screens mirrors etc. using scent as a stabilizer in their life or when things suddenly get hectic like perfume or incense. how everything looks pretty and organized like their journal or their bed side table
capricorn 4th house
doing chores in a certain rhythm. standing very stoically and seriously before they do something. checking their bank account or list or something practical like that out of habit. the way the finally relax when they get something done. checking their stability of things like doors they like do that shaking thing do you know what i’m talking abt? everything they do is very practical
sagittarius 4th house
laughing randomly mid conversation because they thought of something funny. the way they uplift other people. their love of being free and not restricted. talking out loud to themselves. getting lost in perspectives ideas videos books about those topics etc. planning trips “just to see”. pacing and seeing them light up when excited or inspired.

do you ever have those moments where you are cherishing someone’s soul for a quick second? where you can feel your whole body go soft as you watch someone be unmistakably themselves? i’ve noticed this energy is usually the persons IC or 4th house energy being expressed.
I’ve noticed that whatever my loved ones are doing that leads me to feel this feeling is always found in the energy the zodiac sign ruling their fourth house is. here are some i’ve observed:
Scorpio IC/4th house: studying, intensely listening to someone, scrunching up their face when figuring something out, the small three seconds of silence when they are about to respond to someone.
Aquarius IC/4th house: saying the weirdest shit out of nowhere, doing something most people would be embarrassed about and laughing about it, speaking up for people that are less privileged/ being relentless about social justice, very much oddball energy
Leo IC/4th house: big family gatherings and loud infectious laughs. huge hearts. guilty pleasure of being admired. childlike eyes and humor. loves art and people that express themselves authentically. their warmth melts you. the way they light up after you compliment something they are proud of.
Taurus IC/4th house: Savoring a moment right before they leave, stretching for a second longer than normal, small acts of comfort like putting their head into their hand for support. Sighing into a seat
I have a pisces IC and instead of trying to see if from another pov i’ll try and write my experience of when i feel at “home”. If you have a Pisces IC lmk if you relate!
Pisces IC/4th house: melancholy piano and violin chords, writing poetry, dissociating into another world in a huge crowd of people, humming songs to themselves, zoning out mid convo, staring at a wall with a smile, doodling on pages, swaying to a natural rhythm as a way of fidgeting, crying when they laugh.

I get a lot of questions about astrology in my daily life, especially on how to start reading personal charts. With so much information thrown at you, navigating astrology can seem daunting at first glance. In this post I’ll be going right back to the basics. It doesn’t matter if you’re just brushing up on your knowledge, or brand new; In this guide I’ll go over the 12 zodiac signs, the house it traditionally rules, its ruling planet, element, and key traits to make sure you’re set and ready. These essentials will lay out the foundation for you to get the ball rolling on reading your own chart!
to start I’ll state key vocabulary and tools that can help aid you for a deeper understanding of the content.
Vocabulary:
House/s: represent areas of life. It shows you where an energy is being expressed. this would be the 12 sectors of a birth chart you see at first glance.
example: to better understand how astrology works I’ll be using a theater play production as examples. the houses would be the scene backdrop. where is this taking place?
Zodiac Sign: a type of energy expression. shows you how an energy is expressed through their unique archetype
example: this would be the dialogue of a character in a play. How is this character expressing themselves? What type of personality do they have?
Planets: show you what is happening in the chart. They reveal to you the force that’s being activated, like a player or a chess piece.
example: the planets in a play would be the actress/actor. the strengths of the actor would be the characteristics of the planet.
ex: Venus: Love, Partnerships, Finance, Harmony, Affection
Aspects: Show the conflict between planets. Aspects in astrology is the degrees apart or close a planet is to another in a chart. If a planet makes a certain angle with another it creates a channel where they “speak” to another. there is an action going on between the two planets.
Trine: effortless, flows naturally without any work needing to be done
Sextile: easy, all the skills to work together are there, but there needs to be some action required to make the energy happen
Opposition: opposing, there needs to be balance required. one planet wants one thing while the other wants the opposite
Square: Tension, there needs to be patience and experience required to work through the conflict
example: this would be the characters’ relationships with other characters in a play.
Shapes: There are certain shapes aspect lines can make in the middle of a chart that shows an important theme in an individual's life depending on the planets involved and the shape it’s making.
example: this would be a specific theme or reoccurring event happening in a play.
i might do a separate post about shapes so watch out for that!
Tools:
Astrology App: Time Passages
great for navigating a birth chart for the first time. It explains everything in the birth chart, as well as having a separate section to learn about terms!
Astrology App: The Pattern
great for navigating big transits happening in your life. breaks down important parts of your chart into sections and narrates it in an easy to understand way. also gives a unique perspective on compatibility charts.
Website: Astroseek
Great for diving deep into astrology. lots of different types of chart types to pull up.

these are just the basics to get you through the understanding of how a birth chart works. I highly recommend doing more research into signs, houses, planets, etc once the basics are learned! thank you for reading and happy learning! :)

TW: mention of body issues and dissociation
Leo Risings almost always have some sort of body issue trauma or confidence issues.
Libra Mercurys when meeting people all have this certain type of awkward laugh like a “pff” noise and humm a lot in agreement even when they don’t agree. (this is more tailored with virgo and gemini placements in the mix with it but if you’re a libra mercury and this resonates without those lmk!)
Mars and Saturn in the 1st house when unhealed makes everything a competition. They have to be “successful”. If that means knocking you down a pegs or talking shit about you to make them feel better about themselves…they will do it. If it’s in Leo they have to have all the attention. If it’s in Aquarius they will act unbothered and aloof but talk mega shit about you. etc. whatever sign these planets are in it causes friction. there is a constant yearning to push but saturn restrains it. They might feel like they have to be constantly be in action or “maintaining” their image to be enough. This causes a more than deep inner frustration when they see someone achieving the things they want.
Gemini Sun in the 11th I feel like fits the stereotype of “gemini being two faced” the most. Their ego is constantly changing from the information and energy they are absorbing from other groups of people. Very chameleon like. If they don’t have a strong sense of self, or other planets in the chart that suggest this, i feel like it could lead to identity/self image issues. Same for the 7th house but i feel like the 11th house is more pungent. It’s not just personal relationships it’s community and the social world as a whole.
12th house placements are the worst when it comes to reflective people. The 12th house often holds things that are hidden from ourselves. Thinking about it on the chart wheel, the 12th house is right above the 1st. Almost as if it’s what guides us but it’s unseen. If there’s any personal planets in the 12th house and they are aspected heavily it could show us repressed issues that control the persons life without their knowledge of it. Whenever they meet people that force them to face themselves it’s particularly hard for these natives, not because it’s hard information to swallow, but because the information and emotion that comes with it can be confusing as a whole. From my experience they often shut people out or avoid them completely because they aren’t ready to face those issues.
Virgo Moons often have mothers that are self critical. I’ve noticed the mothers of virgo moons have body issues and obsessed over it. This can lead them to unconsciously pick up on these critical,self improvement mindset. it’s very important for these natives to be aware of the relationship to the mother and themselves. i’ve also met other virgo moons and this remains true!!
8th house moons need to feel understood more than any other house moon placement. They feel deeply and crave soul-level connections. day to day connections are probably draining for this person. to feel emotionally stable they need a person that gets them completely,fully,and nakedly. trust and authenticity is vital to this native.
Almost every scorpio moon i’ve met are disconnected from their feelings. personally i’ve never met one that didn’t feel distant emotionally. this could be because of their protective nature emotionally or because their emotions are too intense for them to feel themselves. either way it’s very interesting to see, coming from a scorpio rising, how scorpios energy works. my sister and boyfriend both have scorpio moons, the two closest people in my life, and there is always still a sense of mystery there.
Moon in the 12 house often repress their emotions so much it could lead to dissociation. I don’t have this placement myself, but i recently met someone that gets my emotional energy like no other and she has her moon in the 12th house. Some issues that come up are knowing you feel a lot and deeply but it’s just out of reach for you to truly get to the “bottom” of the feeling. Feeling so overwhelmed that you don’t know how to react in a moment that would normally prompt a reaction. Taking on people’s emotions because they “sense” the emotions others aren’t verbally voicing.
10th house stelliums especially with saturn feel like they have to achieve something career wise before they do anything else in life. It could be from an outside force or themselves, but it’s very important for these natives to understand that their success is not directly tied to who they fundamentally are. It’s okay to fail and it’s important to try re define what success to this native actually looks like.
If you have Uranus or Neptune in the third house you might randomly get spiritual downloads or hits from writing, driving in your car, listening to music, words standing out from listening to someone’s conversation, radios, school work.
Sagittarius Moons depending on what house and how it’s aspected can be deep feelers. They feel most comfortable focusing on the bright side of things and making light of situations, but the need to find meaning and purpose to an emotion is still there, just like any other sagittarius placement. If they find enjoyment in finding meaning to their emotions they could start to feel comfortable processing deeper complex emotions. they might intellectualize emotions on a more negative note.
