For most of my life, I thought astrology was a scam with good branding. 😂 Like, how could Mercury being in “retrograde” possibly explain why my phone died? Ohh please!!!
I lumped horoscopes in with clickbait quizzes like Which Harry Potter Character Are You? and kept it moving.
But then… things started getting weird. During Covid, j was bored, like any other sane person. I did had work, but other than that we were all just at home and I discovered Moon sign🌙 on Tumblr. That was when I started going down a rabbit hole.
I was scrolling Tumblr and learned how to generate my own birth chart. And as per the instructions I did it, and the more I read the interpretation of my placements the more it made sense in a way…. It’s like some one read me like a diary I never gave them access to.
Suddenly my “Capricorn sun, Pisces moon” combo made sense of why I’m ambitious but also crying over cute cat videos at 2 AM. And don’t get me started on how my Vedic chart shifted placements—I was side-eyeing hard, but also thinking, “Damn, okay, that actually tracks.”
Do I fully believe in astrology now? Nah. 🔭 But I’ve learned not to dismiss it so quickly. Because even if the planets aren’t literally pulling puppet strings, the symbolism hits. It’s like a cosmic personality test that’s way juicier than Myers-Briggs. At the very least, it makes me pause, reflect, and sometimes laugh at how on-point it feels.
So here I am….m still skeptical, but also open.
I won’t let anyone plan my whole life with a chart, but I also won’t roll my eyes when someone asks my rising sign. I still not one of those astrology people who judges other’s based on their sun sign. But I still love me some Virgo men here and there. 🤭❤️
For me astrology went from “useless” to “surprisingly helpful” in my book. And honestly? I kinda love being a little cosmic-curious now. ✨
