Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole astrology thing, and let me tell you, it’s a TRIP. I started looking at my own chart, you know, just for fun, and things got real, REAL fast. My big three are Aries Sun, Aquarius Moon, and Cancer Rising. Sounds kinda wild, right? Well, it kinda is.
First, I grabbed my birth certificate. Gotta have that exact time of birth, otherwise, the whole rising sign thing is a bust. Thankfully, my mom is super organized and had it all ready to go. Then I hopped online and found one of those free birth chart calculators. I plugged in all my info – birth date, time, and place – and hit that “calculate” button. Boom. There it was, my entire cosmic blueprint staring back at me.
Breaking it Down
- Aries Sun: This is the “me” part of me, I guess. It’s all about being bold, energetic, and kinda impulsive. Yeah, I definitely charge headfirst into things, sometimes without thinking. It’s like I have this internal fire that’s always pushing me forward.
- Aquarius Moon: Okay, this one was a bit of a head-scratcher at first. It means my emotions are… different. I feel things deeply, but I also need a lot of space and freedom. It’s like I’m a walking contradiction. I crave connection but also value my independence like crazy.
- Cancer Rising: This is the “mask” I wear, how I come across to people. It’s all about being nurturing, sensitive, and a little bit shy. People probably see me as this gentle, caring person, which is true… to a point. It’s like I have this protective shell around me.
Putting it All Together
So, how do all these pieces fit? It’s like this constant internal tug-of-war. My Aries Sun wants to go, go, go, while my Aquarius Moon needs to chill and process. And then my Cancer Rising is like, “Can we all just get along and have a nice cup of tea?”
I started journaling about it, trying to make sense of all these conflicting energies. I noticed patterns in my behavior, like how I’d get super excited about a new project (Aries!), but then quickly feel overwhelmed and need to retreat (Aquarius/Cancer). It was like a lightbulb moment.
Honestly, it’s still a work in progress. I’m learning to embrace all these different sides of myself. I’m trying to be more mindful of my impulses, give myself the space I need, and also let my guard down a little more. It’s a journey, but it’s definitely making me more self-aware. And, okay, maybe it’s a little bit fun, too. Like I’m solving a puzzle, and the puzzle is… me.
