Iā€™m a Libran sun which Iā€™ve always understood for me to accurately describe me as balanced but somewhat indecisive :sweat_smile:

My ex husband was a Libra and so was my longest relationship boyfriend. They did not like arguments. It was easy for them to see both sides of a situation. I remember my ex had the hardest time deciding what to eat at a restaurant :slight_smile: The bf just ordered everything.

I first got into astrology around 28 or so years ago. At that time in my life I was living as a nomad, only owning what I could fit into my backpack, and of course there was no access to the internet at that time for normal people (or even for not so normal people). I had just one astrology book, no computer, and no digital devices. I calculated my chart by hand, according to the instructions in the book. I spent most my time in the days at that time hanging out in a bookstore (Borders Books) reading books on astrology, and other metaphysical topics. There was plenty of time just to read all day for me. I would get up at some point in the day, waking in my tent, and pack it up into my backpack. Then I would walk out of the small dense woods spot, to the road, and walk down to Borders. I would stay there reading metaphysical books till they closed at night. Then I would hike back to the little woods and set up my tent again and sleep. It was a great life!

I have my chart well memorized in my head. My Sun is in Virgo in the 12th house, conjunct my Mars, which is also in the same house and sign. My rising is 1 degree 1 minute of Libra. Pluto is exactly conjunct my rising, with zero orb. In my first house I also have Uranus, which is also in Libra. My Mercury is in Leo in the 10th house. It is in mutual reception with my Sun. My Moon is in Gemini in the 9th house, and Saturn is conjunct it, also in the same house and sign. My Venus is in the 10th house in Cancer, but my South Node is conjunct it, in the same house and sign. My Jupiter and my Neptune are both in Sagittarius in the 3rd house. I have Chiron in Aries, and unfortunately in the 7th house.

Megan shared a great post about finding where Chiron is in your star chart- that could be a good thing to explore if youā€™re still not sure, Christina! :blush: Good luck!


Beautifully done with your poem and chant, @Anne2! thanks again for sharing them :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:


Exploring your childrenā€™s birth charts sounds exciting, @Susurrus! :star_struck: Maybe itā€™s something you could do together- it might be a fun family activity :sparkles:


You are very welcome, @fabian! Thanks for sharing your experience :pray: I think it is good to remember that everyone is wonderfully unique- it would be rare that just our sun sign perfectly embodies all of our traits! I think everyone is a collective of qualities from signs across their charts. A bit of our sun sign, moon sign, ascendant, and more. Iā€™m glad you were able to dig deeper and really connect with your ascendant in Cancer! :cancer: :blush: Great job!


Sorry to hear you were having some health issues last week, @Artemisia! How are you feeling now- hopefully doing better? :pray: Astrology can definitely seem overwhelming at first- I recommend starting with just your sun sign to begin! You can stick with that, or continue learning other parts of astrology if they call to you :sparkles: Enjoy!


I know the feeling, @MeganB! Astrology is so huge- there are so many elements to look at- stars, planets, houses, so much that it can easily be overwhelming! Iā€™m always learning new things myself, so itā€™s wonderful to see the things everyone explores for this challenge :blush: Your post on Chiron was very helpful- thanks again for sharing! :heartpulse:


An abundance of Scorpio energy, @mary25! Also a Scorpio sun sign here, so I know we can be an intense sign :scorpius: :laughing:


Nice, @IrisW! :raised_hands: :libra: :balance_scale:


That sounds amazing, @Volmarr! :star_struck: A backpacking adventure while studying astrology- that sounds like it would make a wonderful book! :open_book: :two_hearts: Thanks for sharing your signs- it sounds like your chart has a special place in your heart to be memorized so well! Good for you! :raised_hands:


Awesome resources, thanks so much for sharing @Missa! :milky_way: :heartpulse:

Ok, so I found out all of my signs, houses?, and well Iā€™m confused :joy: I canā€™t work out the chart at all, astrology has never been my strong point. Iv written down what I do understand though and Iā€™m going to keep doing a bit of research to see if it starts to click :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

For my entry, I found my Chinese Astrology Sign and horoscope.

Iā€™m an Ox because I was born in the year 1985. My horoscope says, according to Astrology.com :

May 21, 2021
This is a favorable day for your health. Fatigue and stress should be distant memories. Your children might give you some hard times, but everything will be smoothed out. The stars are on your side. Whatever you do, you have a good chance to win. Sure of your capabilities, you know how to show the best side of yourself at work.

Iā€™ve always felt a connection to the Moon and Stars. First got my Birth Chart when I was 16; didnā€™t get too much into tho just reading it and feeling the connections. Until I also got the birth chart for my BF. Thatā€™s when I started seeing the parts of people that no one really sees unless you know that person. Realized that you can even understand them better by knowing the Astrology.
My favorite apps are The Moon Calendar


And Time Nomad



You can learn so much!

Iā€™ve been checking my horoscope for Virgo for a couple of days.

May 19, 2021 - Sometimes you have to go back to square one if you want a situation to get better, Virgo. This can be frustrating or even humiliating, but if the goal is to have a solid foundation on which to rebuild, itā€™s well worth it! Donā€™t get too attached to your professional past. You have to advance and youā€™re too weighed down now. Let go!

Oh yes, this was the day I chose to hand in my two-weeks notice! The Tarot cards Iā€™ve been drawing have been implying that Iā€™ll find relief from work soon. Well, since nothing has gotten better at work, I decided that I have to be the one to bring myself relief by moving on.

May 20, 2021 - You can look forward to a day full of satisfaction, Virgo. You may have made a strong impression on the people around you as you learned to moderate your outspokenness. Supportive friends surround you today. Everyone seems willing to listen, and they trust you implicitly. It looks as though youā€™re finding a place for yourself!

Well, I did make my case on why I had to leave. Also, I had and have my friendsā€™ support on finding another job.

May 21, 2021 - Virgo, you should try to be tolerant of other peopleā€™s social and political positions. You may have to deal with certain people whose personal plans are jeopardized by events beyond their control. Donā€™t judge them. Donā€™t immediately defend one viewpoint without thinking how the situation affects the other personā€™s life.

Good advice for today (and any day and any Sign)! I always try to see things from someone elseā€™s perspective before making judgements, but that isnā€™t always the case.

I love to see todayā€™s chart compared to my own; if I have something specific I will try and map it out to a specific day thatā€™s coming up where a corresponding planet or transit is important to my workings. I Love Love Plutoā€™ been my favorite planet since the 2nd grade. (I wanted to Ice skate on Pluto when I was 8)
LOL
So I usually work with my Pluto in Scorpio and my Moon in Capricorn. Iā€™m a Sagittarius w/ Scorpio Rising ā€˜ so I feel it has power especially if they are in the right houses and corresponding signs .

There are so many new posts to read on here since I last as a proper check so I wonā€™t tag everyone but I loved reading them :hugs::heart: This challenge has mushed a my brain a teeny bit :rofl: which is ironic considering how much I love astronomy, astrology is a while different science though. You all help me grow and learn thank you so much :heart:

Sadly it means @Rowan that we tend to rush into relationships but that we tend to have relationship struggles. Often they donā€™t last well for us. Our lesson is to learn how how to have a relationship and make it work.

This is such a fascinating topic. When I delved into my human design I looked into all of this quite intensively!

@Volmarr great job! I would love to know that much about my chart off the top of my head. I am having trouble with my Chiron. I know the sign, but not the house & canā€™t figure out how to find it. There is no mention of it in my chart. I have looked forward, backward, & sideways.

Maybe Chiron skipped me, I mean I do have Lilith showing up in 6 places instead of 4. :rofl:

I ran another Birth Chart on a different site than I usually use. I found Chiron in Taurus in the 4th house & an explanation. I do really relate to what was explained to me though!

I also realized that my chart wheel is shaped like an upside down bowl. :rofl:
