Why I Do This Work: My Chart as Compass and Companion

An example of living astrology as a soul path. This is mine – ask me to give you yours!

I don’t just read astrology — I live it. My chart isn’t a backdrop to my life, it is the story I’ve been asked to tell and retell, in many forms. Each planet speaks not just to personality, but to spiritual vocation. Here’s how:

Sun in Capricorn, 4th House – Conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius

The wise elder. The builder of inner sanctuaries.

My Sun conjunct Saturn means my core identity is forged through commitment, mastery, and deep responsibility. Placed in the 4th house, this isn’t about external success — it’s about emotional foundation, lineage, and legacy. I do this work because I’ve always carried the weight of what must be remembered and passed on. I build soul-rooted structures that hold others. This is why I’m a guide for the long haul — for those ready to do the work.

Moon in Gemini, 10th House – Conjunct Midheaven

The storyteller. The voice of the many parts within.

My Moon at the top of the chart reflects a public emotional mission — to give voice to the many parts, to translate paradox, to hold space for contradiction and change. In Gemini, my emotions are expressed through language, inquiry, and adaptive intelligence. I feel most alive when I’m naming what others feel but cannot say. This is why I write, why I teach, and why I invite others to narrate their own Stellar Story. No wonder I love IFS Internal Family Systems!

Mercury in Sagittarius, 4th House – Square Pluto, Oppose Moon

The philosopher. The soul translator.

My Mercury is driven to ask why, and to speak from the deep belly of truth, not just intellect. Opposite my Moon, I’ve learned to bridge intuition and intellect. Square Pluto, I excavate language from the underworld. This is why I work with parts, beliefs, narratives — and help people rewrite the story in their bone marrow.

Venus in Capricorn, 5th House – Square Nodes, Quincunx Uranus & Moon

The devotional artist. The soul-worth alchemist.

Venus square my Nodes tells me that love, value, and creation are karmic territories for me. In Capricorn, love is a commitment — not just a feeling, but a discipline of beauty. Placed in the 5th, I create from a place of responsibility and artistry. Every report I craft, every session I hold, is an act of devotional Venusian structure.

Mars in Taurus, 9th House – Opposite Jupiter, Square Uranus, Square Chiron

The steady philosopher. The Grounded Rebel.

My Mars is slow-burning but determined — the embodiment of earth-bound activism. It seeks meaning through movement, spiritual truth through embodiment. In square to Uranus and Chiron, I carry a lifelong tension between safety and revolution, between the call to expand and the fear of rupture. This is why I teach through the body, integrate somatic tools, and walk clients through their own sacred resistance.

Jupiter in Scorpio, 3rd House – Part of Grand Cross

The deep-sea diver. The truth whisperer.

Jupiter here shows that learning, communication, and teaching must go to the root. No superficial truths will do. I learn through intensity and I share what I’ve lived. My voice carries depth and that’s why I attract seekers — people who are ready to face the dark and find their own light.

Saturn in Sagittarius, 4th House – Conjunct Capricorn Sun

The archetypal elder. The karmic mason.

Saturn and Sun together are no joke — this is a mark of earned authority, not given freely. I’ve walked through initiations. I’ve held the weight of time. I’ve rebuilt from bare bone. This is why I hold the long view with clients. I know the difference between endurance and suppression. I model the kind of responsibility that is rooted in sacred devotion, not obligation. And shooting for the most inspiring vision.

Uranus in Leo, 12th House – Opposite Chiron, Square Mars/Jupiter

The revolutionary mystic.  The hidden liberator.

Hidden in the 12th, my Uranus works from the background — shaking things up invisibly, pushing for inner freedom and soul liberation. It’s been a lifetime task to own my inner radical, to express truth even when it’s inconvenient. This is why my astrology is not passive — it’s disruptive in the best way.

Neptune in Scorpio, 3rd House – Sextile Sun & Pluto

The soul-scribe. The mystic messenger.

Neptune here blesses my voice with mystery and myth. I don’t just analyze — I tune, I channel, I receive. My language heals because it touches more than the mind. It reaches the body’s knowing. This is why astrology for me is also poetry, energy, spirit. And now, transiting Neptune squares my Sun — dissolving the last of what holds me back.

Pluto in Virgo, 12th House – Conjunct Ascendant, Square Moon & Mercury

The underworld midwife.

Pluto on the Ascendant is a lifelong initiation — through death, power, and the call to transform or be transformed. It gives me X-ray vision, a need to see the root and help others compost shame into soul. Square my Moon and Mercury, it’s been painful. But that pain is what taught me how to accompany others through their own underworlds.

The Chart as Living Work

Every angle in my chart has now been touched by a progressed planet — completing a powerful cycle of embodiment.

My Progressed Pisces Sun on the Descendant: relationships as sacred mirror

My Progressed Gemini Mars on the Moon / MidHeaven: public emotional activation

My Progressed Scorpio Moon square Chiron and opposite Mars: deep work of balancing instinct and soul pain

And I am now walking my Saturn waxing square, in the third act of life — no longer proving, but embodying. I’ve moved from building, to breaking, to blessing.

This chart doesn’t say “I should be an astrologer.”
It says: I must be a caring guide — of time, story, healing, and soul.
