Love to hear your take aways. Send me a message. Have you ever discovered something about yourself that made you pause and think, "Huh... that actually explains a lot?" In this birthday reflection episode, I'm sharing what happened when I began exploring Tropical Astrology as a complete beginner. No predictions. No expertise. Just curiosity. After turning 53, I started learning about the three foundational pieces of a birth chart, often called The Big Three: your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. As I explored my own chart (Cancer Sun, Aquarius Moon, Gemini Rising), I found myself asking deeper questions about who I've always been and how those qualities have quietly shaped my life. In this episode we explore: • What Tropical Astrology is (and how it differs from Sidereal Astrology) • The meaning of your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs • Why curiosity may be one of the greatest gifts of midlife • How astrology became another lens for self-awareness alongside neuroscience, faith, Human Design, and The Artist's Way • Why understanding ourselves is often more powerful than trying to fix ourselves This episode is less about astrology and more about self-discovery. Whether you've been studying your birth chart for years or have never looked at one before, my hope is that this conversation inspires you to become a little more curious about yourself. A heartfelt thank you to Gabi Turik, whose wisdom and guidance sparked my curiosity and encouraged me to explore my birth chart through the lens of Tropical Astrology. What I appreciated most was that she didn't tell me who I am. She simply offered another framework for understanding myself more deeply. If you're interested in learning more about Gabi's work or booking a reading, visit https://www.gabiturik.com. Gabi also recommends https://www.astro.com as an excellent free resource for generating your own birth chart. All you'll need is your birth date, the exact time you were born (if possible), and your birthplace to begin exploring your own Big Three. If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Share your Big Three with me on Instagram or send me a message. I'm learning right alongside you. Until next time, keep being bold, keep being audacious, and keep walking yourself home.
