Birth charts are a wonderful tool to really get to know and understand yourself on a deeper level. I began my journey into astrology a few years ago, following different accounts on social media and buying books to familiarize myself more with the topic. My curiosity deepened into wanting to understand my own chart and then help others do the same. It has allowed me to see the direction of my life’s purpose, the karma I am working through this lifetime, what I am carrying from past lives, and my strengths. This doesn’t necessarily give me a detailed layout of what my life is meant to look like, but more so of a road map of what I signed up to learn and transform in this journey of life. I have also found it useful in my own work in therapy as a way to build self-acceptance, self-love, and compassion. Experience the relief in knowing everything that has occurred in your life is happening for you and discover how to alchemize your pain into a life worth living.
