Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out my whole cosmic blueprint, you know? And I’m a Capricorn Sun, Aries Rising – sounds kinda intense, right?
I started by, like, Googling everything. Seriously, every combination of “Capricorn Sun,” “Aries Rising,” “astrology traits,” you name it. I was swimming in information, some of it helpful, some of it… not so much.
Then I started reading actual astrology books. Not just the fluffy stuff, but the more in-depth explanations of how the signs interact. I’d highlight passages, scribble notes in the margins – the whole nine yards. It felt like unlocking a secret code to my personality.
Tracking My Moods and Behaviors
This is where it got really interesting. I decided to create a journal specifically for, well, me. I tracked my moods, my reactions to things, even how I felt at different times of the day. I used a simple little notebook and just jotted down whatever came to mind.
- Morning: Woke up feeling super motivated. Made a huge to-do list (very Capricorn). Crushed half of it before noon (Aries energy, for sure!).
- Afternoon: Hit a wall. That Capricorn practicality kicked in. “Why am I doing all this? What’s the point?” Felt a bit blah.
- Evening: Got a second wind. Went for a run (Aries needing to burn off energy). Ended up having a really deep conversation with my partner about long-term goals (back to Capricorn again).
I did this for a few weeks, and patterns started to emerge. I saw how that Capricorn groundedness would often follow a burst of Aries impulsiveness. I realized how I could be super ambitious (Capricorn) but also impatient and easily frustrated (Aries). It made total sense!
Reflecting and Integrating
After, that I spent some time, just thinking through the, about my “findings”.It was a process to be honest. I am more aware of my inner conflicts. For the example, I see that I really do need a solid plan, not just ideas for the future. And I’m getting better at recognizing when my Aries impatience is about to derail me, so I can (try to) slow down and think things through. I’m not perfect, of course – it’s a work in progress. But this whole experiment has been surprisingly insightful. It is like I have this inner roadmap now, and I’m learning how to navigate it better.
