“Unlock the Secrets of Your Astrological Chart: What Dominant Forces Shape Your Destiny?”

Added on January 29, 2025 inASTROLOGY CARDS

Astrology has a way of transforming our understanding of ourselves—and in my case, it set the stage for some sibling rivalry! Picture this: my sister and I, wide-eyed children obsessed with the stars, sprawled on the floor of our local library. Armed with nothing but an ephemeris and a healthy dose of curiosity, we were determined to decode our cosmic blueprints, charting our destinies before computers made it all too easy. When we finally compared our charts, the contrast was like night and day. Mine sparkled with harmonious trines, while hers—well, let’s just say it resembled a Mutable grand cross chaotic enough to rival a thrilling rollercoaster ride!

From one sister’s triumphant Jupiter escapades to the other’s unfortunate accidents (seriously, who slides down a staircase?), our lives have played out along these astrological lines in ways that are both curious and a bit hilarious. So, how do the aspects in your birth chart influence your life? Do you find yourself riding high on a wave of trines, or grappling with the intensity of squares?

Join me as I dive into these cosmic dynamics—because trust me, the universe really knows how to keep things interesting! LEARN MORE.

Grand crossMy sister and I started studying astrology when we were kids. This was before computers so we couldn’t just get our charts. Our local library had an ephemeris so we sat on the floor in the stacks, and copied our planets down. Meantime, my sister tried to work out the math so we could have our actual charts.

When we had our two charts and we laid them side by side, they were strikingly different. Mine was overwhelmingly trine-y. She had a Mutable grand cross.

I can’t speak to what she felt, but I was ecstatic, behind my poker face. Sorry, but I was the little sister, and it’s a competition, right?

It’s not a competition. My point is that we went on to watch our lives play out with these very different charts.

For example, we both have strong Jupiter energy and had all kinds of escapades. I landed on my feet. She went to slide down the rail of a circular staircase at our high school… only to fall backwards, breaking her back on the concrete floor. There are plenty of stories like this.

Recently I was writing about oppositions. What type aspects dominate your chart. Do you have a chart of trines, like mine? Do you have a bunch of squares, like my sister? Do oppositions rule in your world?

Have you seen it play out? How do you feel about the way your chart is set up?
