Astrology is not truth, but an invitation to see yourself

It came to light - quite literally - over dinner.
A friend casually brought up astrology, mentioning their moon sign, and before I knew it, I was mid-reveal: mapping out planetary placements, cycles, and transits.
They looked at me, wide-eyed. I’d seen that look before.
“Wait, how do you know all this?”
I just laughed.
“Oh yes, I have been studying astrology since I was 14. I’m 41 now.” And the same moment I realised how much had changed over the years, back in 1998 I would not have talked about it at all. It was mostly my secret, only my family members knew.

Astrology has been part of my way to see the world and my life. And yet, I’ve never turned it into a job, even not a hobby. Not because I don’t believe in its value. But because I do, deeply. And I get its value lies not in answers, but in the questions it invites us to ask.

In a world full of systems, labels, and explanations, we’re constantly seeking understanding. We want to make sense of ourselves, of others, and of the times we’re living in. Psychology, philosophy, Human Design, astrology,…We often look outward to find insight that might bring us inward.

Astrology is a beautiful example of this. Its popularity is rising, and with good reason. Many people feel seen in their birth chart, in moon phases, in retrogrades and planetary movements. There’s language in astrology that touches something deep. That unveils.
And yet, for me it’s very clear: astrology is not the truth.
That’s exactly why, despite my years of study and deep interest: I didn’t became an astrologer who offers one-on-one readings. Too often, I see people cling to the shape, rather than trust the feeling beneath it.

Because astrology does not offer hard facts. It’s not a blueprint, but a mirror. Not absolute knowledge, but an invitation. A doorway into more awareness.

I’ve spent years exploring my own chart. The placement of the moon in my first house taught me a lot about how sensitive I am, and how that sensitivity is often felt immediately by others. My Aquarius sun in the second house doesn’t define who I am, but it does help me understand why freedom and self-worth keep showing up as core themes in my life. These are not truths. They’re keys. And what you choose to unlock is always up to you.

Right now, astrologically speaking, we’re standing in front of several powerful thresholds. Pluto has recently entered Aquarius: A profound shift that, for many (and especially for those with Aquarius placements, like myself), is about shedding old identities and radically reimagining how we show up in the world. Saturn is swimming through Pisces, testing our boundaries between intuition and illusion. And with the recent eclipses, I personally feel old stories around control, safety, and self-agency rising to the surface for a deeper reckoning.

I don’t share this to say “this is what you should be feeling.” I share it because it gives me language. It gives me softness. It reminds me that not everything I feel is mine. Not every blockage asks to be fixed; some just want to be seen. Astrology helps me see the subtle. It gives me words for things I would otherwise try to explain away.

At the same time, astrology is not my compass. I am.
Astrology is, at most, a signpost. A conversation partner. Not a final destination, not a judge.

So if you recognize yourself in your chart, let it spark curiosity, and if you would like me to have a look at it: I’m here. But don’t hand over your power. You are the one living this life. Not your Mars in Taurus or your North Node in the tenth house.

Astrology can remind you of what you already know. Use it as a mirror to deepen your awareness never forget: the clearest wisdom comes from within.
