Astrology
It can be extremely helpful to dive into studying your personal astrological chart. WE ARE THE COSMOS. There are three main elements in Astrology. Planets, Zodiac Signs, and Houses. There is a bunch of information and details to reading a chart. Below are resources that can assist you in diving into your "Blueprint of the Stars". Innerstanding your chart can help you study different transits so you know how to optimize their influence.
Planets/Other Personal Placements
The planets in this solar system are a reflection of self (literally and figuratively). It's recommended to look up your specific planets and placements (I.e - Sun in Scorpio in the 10th house). You can look up Sun in Scorpio and then look up Sun in 10th house. This will give you details on your layers of being. Planets are often associated with your qualities and innate nature often times pointing out areas of strengths and natural weaknesses we carry. Each planet has a Zodiac correspondence that can help you connect dots. Everything is connected.
