“You came here to manifest your dreams. You were created to come to this world and do the work for you to manifest all the things that you want. That is your purpose in this life”
Back in 2018, I went on a deep dive into my astrological birth chart. This was one of the many signs, I knew I was having a deeper level spiritual awakening. I was pregnant and going through one of the deepest soul level ups of my life and read more spiritual development books that I could fit in my bookshelf. For years, I knew how much I loved astrology but when I discovered the birth chart…EVERYTHING changed for me. I loved learning about my moon sign, which was eye opening for me, my north node (soul’s path) which blew my mind and I even figured out how to decorate for my soul’s direction. It was so much fun to learn so much about myself.
Now, I even read birth charts for the women in community as a way to help jumpstart their own spiritual development journey. It’s a beautiful exploration of yourself and I highly recommend you get a reading from someone you trust. Just don’t do it yourself because you need someone objective to really explain things to you without your own mental chatter. I had 3 different experts read my birth chart. Each one of them explain completely different things and I infuse all 3 of those different perspectives and lessons into my readings. You can see more information here.
What was so interesting to me was that the birth chart is essential a breakdown of the 12 zodiac signs + the 12 areas of life. And what' I’ve recently discovered, the 12 dimensions of your universe. And understanding each of these houses and what they stand for can help you navigate all of the astrological movement that is happening in the world. Because everything in the stars is happening somewhere in the 12 houses. It can help you in focusing in on different areas of your life as you are manifesting what you want.
The 12 houses of you and your personal growth.
On any given day, these 12 areas of your life are activating the blueprint of your psychological world. The photo above shows a breakdown of the different areas of your life, what are the nuances happening within each of the houses and then the zodiac ruler for each of the houses.
