Okay, so, let me tell you about this thing I did with my astrological chart. The whole deal was about figuring out how my sun, moon, and rising signs all play together. Mine are Taurus sun, Cancer moon, and Leo rising. Sounds like a weird combo, right?
First off, I had to get my birth chart done. You can find tons of places online that do it for free. You just gotta punch in your birth date, time, and place. Easy peasy. Boom, there’s your chart with all these symbols and lines. I used to think that you are only your sun sign. How silly I am!
Next, I started digging into what each of these signs means. My sun is in Taurus, which I guess makes me pretty grounded and into the finer things in life—like good food and comfy places. I do love a good meal, and my couch is my best friend, so, yeah, that checks out. I googled “Taurus traits” and went through a bunch of websites. It was like reading about myself, it’s kinda freaky but cool.
- Taurus: I found out they’re supposed to be reliable, practical, and a bit stubborn. They like stability and aren’t big on change.
Then there’s my moon sign, which is in Cancer. This one’s all about emotions and intuition. I read that Cancer moons are super sensitive and nurturing. They’re the ones who remember everyone’s birthdays and always have a box of tissues handy. I definitely cry at, like, every movie, and I’m always the one checking in on my friends, so I guess that fits too. I spent a good chunk of time on astrology forums just soaking it all in. I searched for “Cancer moon emotional” and, oh boy, did I get results. It’s like everyone was talking about me.
- Cancer: It’s a water sign, which explains the emotional depth. They’re known for being protective, caring, and a bit moody at times.
And my rising sign is Leo. This is the part of you that you show to the world—your first impression. Leos are supposed to be confident, dramatic, and love being the center of attention. Now, I don’t know about all that, but I do like to make an entrance, and I’m not afraid to speak my mind. I typed “Leo rising appearance” into the search bar, and it was like a whole new world opened up. People with Leo rising are apparently very into their looks and how they present themselves.
- Leo: They’re often seen as the life of the party, very expressive and generous. They can also be a bit bossy, but it’s usually with good intentions.
Putting it all together was the tricky part. I had to think about how a stubborn, homebody Taurus could also be an emotional Cancer and a showy Leo. It’s like three different people fighting inside me! I started a journal to track my moods and reactions to things, trying to see which sign was taking the wheel. I’d write down stuff like, “Got mad at my friend for canceling plans (Taurus stubbornness?)” or “Cried during a commercial (definitely Cancer).” I felt like I was always observing myself.
The Realization
After a few weeks of this, I started to see patterns. Like, I might be super chill and just want to relax at home (Taurus), but then I’ll get all emotional about something and want to talk it out with someone (Cancer). And if I’m out with friends, I’ll be the one cracking jokes and making sure everyone’s having a good time (Leo). It’s a wild mix, but it’s me. It was actually a friend’s birthday that tied it all together. I planned this big thing for her (Leo energy), but I also spent hours making sure everything was perfect and everyone felt included (Cancer and Taurus).
This whole experiment taught me a lot about myself. It’s not just about knowing your signs, it’s about seeing how they interact. It’s like, yeah, I’m stubborn, but I’m also caring and a bit of a drama queen. And that’s okay! It’s all part of what makes me, me. I used to just accept myself, but now I understand myself more.
I’m still learning, but it’s been a fun ride. If you’re curious about your own chart, I’d say go for it. It’s a cool way to get to know yourself better. Just don’t take it too seriously, you know? It’s more like a fun guide than a rule book. Now, I always start with this when I first met someone who is also interested in this.
