So, I've had an interest in astrology for most of my life, but off-and-on. Always in waves. Recently, It's been a little stronger. I've never gotten very far with my birth-chart, but am trying.
I guess the first thing I noticed that didn't quite ring true to me is the 'hemispheres' thing. According to what I've read, the fact that almost all my planets (all but one 'personal' planet) are on the top half of the chart, indicates an extrovert, or someone who loves to be in the public eye. Which is pretty far from the truth for me.
The Sun and Moon in Pisces rings pretty true. I've always been very Piscean. I can even get the Taurus Rising, because I have learned to stand up for myself very well when I need to, and do enjoy beautiful and comfortable things.
I think I struggle with the houses. From what I've seen, I guess there are dozens of different systems, which can all change your chart entirely. In the automatic format on the website I used, I have four retrograde planets (Mars, Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter) in my sixth house. Jupiter in Scorpio, the other three in Libra.
I'd be interested in learning about transits, but I haven't found the right source yet, I don't think. I'll keep looking.
I guess my little quest here is an attempt to better follow the patterns, rhythms, cycles of the universe. Everything is just a bigger or smaller version of everything else. It can't hurt to get a feel for the beat and try to follow along, right?
I've been back into Tarot as well the past few months, but currently the astrology ebb feels stronger.
