9 Ways To Use Astrology On Your Spiritual Journey
Astrology is one of the best tools for self-awareness. Most people know what their Sun sign is, but it is not so surface level. Other major planetary influences are happening at the time you were born. As a unique individual, understanding only your Sun sign is too wide and general a mark and lumps you in with millions of others born in the same month as you. When you are on a spiritual journey, you need deep and individual perspective.
Astrology is a body of systemized knowledge like medicine or weather forecasting. It doesn’t require belief because it is a science as much as other scientific practices. Applying its teachings becomes an art in the improvement of life just like diagnosing illness or predicting the weather.
The practice of astrology can be used in many ways including fortune-telling which is a major factor in the stigma it carries. People who can forecast the future tend to be feared given the reason why some religions and governments have banned its practice. People fear what they don’t understand and protect themselves from it.
Some people who value astrology incorporate it in their religious beliefs, but it is not star worship, just like meteorology is not weather worship or the study of Zoology is not animal worship. Its metaphysical interpretations can be considered sacred, but it is not a form of worship.
Astrology at its greatest good is used to understand your relationship with your environment helping you to understand your behavior and how it manifests in different areas of your life. From healing your past, to enjoying today, and creating a better future, an astrological analysis can be enlightening and a game-changing awakening tool on your spiritual journey.
9 Ways To Use Astrology On Your Spiritual Journey
1. Make The Most Out Of Each Day
Consult a moon horoscope. Unlike a Sun sign horoscope which are great for explaining monthly energies, the Moon changes signs about every 2.5 days so it characterizes changeability. It’s easier to grasp the daily unconscious emotions of the collective when you are aware of the Moon placement, especially when your surroundings are expressing a difficult aspect of the Moon’s energy. It helps you be less triggered and protect yourself psychologically. You can even create habits that are aligned with the Moon sign energy of the day so that you are harmonized each day.
2. Create Monthly Goals
A monthly Sun sign horoscope is perfect for planning out how to creatively express your ideas and how you will use your talents to manifest them. Technically speaking, it must be noted that most Sun sign horoscopes are created by placing one of the 12 signs in the 1st house and interpreting the rest of the chart from that perspective. It may be helpful to look at your Sun sign when reading your horoscope, but it is actually more accurate to read the horoscope for your rising sign. If you are a Sun sign Leo and Capricorn rising, read the Capricorn horoscope for the most accurate reading.
3. Create Yearly Goals
Jupiter’s transit is about one year long. It represents optimism, positivity and generous help. It is the source of material benefits and philosophical wisdom. Jupiter’s gifts come by keeping the faith in your goals, beliefs and self. When you consciously create yearly goals experienced through the sign Jupiter is transiting in, your understandings and achievements are expanded.
4. Create A Health Regimen
An understanding of your sixth house in your natal chart reveals how you can optimize your health mentally and physically. The sign on your sixth house can explain your body’s process of nutrition. It rules health, diet, hygiene, basic needs and self-fulfillment, also the mind, intelligence and discernment. The entire chart should be considered, but the sixth house is a great starting point as a diagnostic tool for health purposes.
5. Find Your Style
Your ascendant or rising sign is a major influence in the formation of your personality and represents self-image and how other people interact with you. It’s how you come across to others, but may not necessarily be how you are deep down. This is where you might find people who don’t relate to their Sun sign traits. Their rising sign could be the stronger influence. Learn more about your rising sign in-depth to understand the mask you wear consciously or unconsciously. It shows the clothes you wear, the car you drive, and your manners.
6. Discover Your Talents
A few places in your natal chart can reveal your talents. Your second house reveals your innate talents because they provide for your earthly survival needs. The sign on your second house shows the most suitable ways for you to earn income based on what you do and give naturally. It shows the industries you are attracted to, how you thrive in them and boost your self-esteem.
7. Discover Your Dream Career
The 10th house in your natal chart represents professions, achievement and status. The sign on your 10th house reveals what you are known for by the public. Other placements especially Saturn will show you where to put in the hard work and be disciplined in order to achieve success.
8. Find A Spiritual Practice That Is Right For You
Your Neptune placement reveals your escape from everyday life. It shows you the best mediums to tap in to express compassion and transcend into higher realms. It will help you strengthen your intuition and faith and discover purpose that extends beyond individual aspirations.

Your North Node can help you discover a practical purpose. It describes the life direction and qualities that would be beneficial for you to adopt. Conscious effort needs to be put into this energy and it takes you out of your comfort zone allowing you to step into great potential.
