Astrology and YOU...the MAGIC of your Emotions
You may remember that last week I shared some astrological correlations between your beautiful physical body and each of the 12 signs of the zodiac. This week, as promised, I would like to talk about these same 12 astrological signs and how they relate to your emotions!
For many of us, we may know our sun sign…. the sign related to the month/day of our birth and the sign we refer to when checking our horoscopes. My astrology teacher taught me that our Sun sign is linked to our identity, and it is what we spend our entire lifetime discovering and becoming ♥
Again, as I mentioned last week, another point on our birth chart that I believe is equally as important as our Sun sign is our Moon sign. My astrology teacher taught us that our moon sign is what we innately are as it is linked to our emotions.
NOTE: you can discover your moon sign by checking out any of the free astrology chart sites on the internet, or by going to my favourite site: Beautiful Free Astrology Charts | Astro-Charts
The moon’s placement and the sign it was in at the moment of your birth provides insight into why and what feelings you experience easier or more quickly than others as you journey through all the aspects of your life.
What do I mean by this??
Well, have you ever wondered why some people wear their hearts on their sleeves, while others seem to keep their feelings locked behind a quiet, composed exterior? Or, why you might cry during a sad commercial, while your best friend shrugs it off with a joke? The answers might be written in the stars. Astrology offers us a sacred lens through which we can more deeply understand the emotional rhythms of our lives. Each zodiac sign holds a unique emotional frequency… an energetic pattern that shapes the way we experience, express, and heal our feelings.
Emotions are the undercurrents of our lived experiences. They influence our relationships and decisions, while shaping the stories we tell ourselves. For some signs emotions are experienced like crashing waves… intense, passionate, and fast-moving; while other signs express emotions more like a still lake… calm, deep, and rarely disturbed on the surface.
Whether you’re fiercely independent, deeply nurturing, or quietly reflective, your astrological blueprint offers clues about your emotional needs, reactions, and healing pathways. While your sun sign offers insight into how you show up in your world, it’s your moon sign that can reveal your inner landscape and the truth of authentic emotional self 💜
So let’s dive in and see how astrological signs can provide insight into understanding the power of your unique blend of emotions??
