This week on the podcast, we were joined by Tonie Zamora and got to dive into the topic of astrology! Your birth chart can tell you so much about yourself + how to channel your energy.
Carolina and Tonie discussed Tonie’s discovery of astrology and how it helped bring her out of a dark time and bring some meaning into her life. She was able to heal herself and now she works to heal others around her!
One of the main points that stuck with me was when she spoke about how her birth chart helped her with her own identity, it showed her, her individual way of self-expression. This is so important because so many of us struggle with connecting with ourselves. After going through my own birth chart and finding out what each placement meant, my personality and emotions made sense! This exercise unlocked so many things for me. I felt like I understood why I react a certain way to certain situations, or maybe why I have a hard time expressing my feelings (thanks a lot Mars in Cancer lol).
Tonie also spoke about how astrology has helped her to understand the different phases of her life, and how she truly is meant to be in a certain life stage. Carolina also had an amazing point that we are all on different timelines and to honor your own personal timeline as well as honoring others. Our journeys are all so different and our birth chart can help to break this down for us.
I feel like this episode is just the beginning for me and I want to further understand my chart and even dive into my human design. I think this episode opened so many doors for us as listeners and gave us a bit of insight into a different world, that can help us to better understand ourselves and help us to become our highest self!
What is Astrology?
Astrology is the study of the movements and positions of the sun, moon, planets and stars in the belief that they affect the character and lives of people.
Your Big Three:
Sun: Your sun sign is your identity and how you experience life and express your individuality
Moon: Your moon sign describes your emotions, feelings + desires. It is your inner world
Rising Sign: Your rising sign is known as your social personality. Your physical body and outward personality.
How to read your birth chart
Reading your birth chart can help you to understand yourself. It can show you your strengths, weakness and journey through life. To find your birth chart you will need to know the date, time and location of your birth. The data is extremely sensitive though, so make sure you know the exact time of your birth. There are so many apps or websites that can help generator your birth chart for you.
The Houses
Your chart is divided into different sections, 12 to be exact. These represent your different houses. Each house represents a different area of your life. Every house plays an important role in your birth chart regardless of whether a planet occupies it.
The Planets
There are also planets. Each planet reveals how their energy appears in your life and when it is in a certain house, that gives you a bit more information as well.
The Signs
Lastly, the signs. The signs show how the planet will express itself.
Once you pull that all together, the formula is: Planet + Sign + House.
What is the planet doing, how is it doing it and what area of life is it going to show up in?
This can be very daunting, but if you do your research and WRITE everything down, you can start to understand it a bit. Carolina and Tonie are definitely experts, so once you have a grasp of this topic, re-listen to the episode and see if you can further understand your own chart!
