Stepping onto the canvas of life, each of us embarks on a journey that is richly woven with an intricate tapestry of experiences. The universe, like a compassionate companion, accompanies us on this voyage, whispering the secrets of our existence through the eternal language of astrology. Through deciphering celestial symphony, astrology offers a celestial map, hinting at our potential and guiding us as we navigate the labyrinth of life in search of our purpose. This profound quest to self-discovery, aided by the stars, is what we will delve into as we unfold this narrative together.

Akin to an artist studying a sculpture, the first step to understanding our purpose astrologically is beholding our Natal Chart. The Natal Chart, a snapshot of the heavens at the exact moment of our birth, is our personalized celestial blueprint. Each planet, star, and constellation – all frozen in time when we took our first breath – whispers secrets that lay hidden within us. The placement of the sun, for instance, reveals our core identity. Sitting like a proud and radiant king, the sun symbolises our ego, the central force that steers our actions. By knowing the house and zodiac sign our sun resides in, we take the first clue in knowing the essence of our being, and what we fundamentally need to feel fulfilled.

However, our purpose runs deeper than merely satisfying our ego-self. It encompasses the blending of various facets of our persona, including our emotions, intellect, communication style, and even our wounds. Moon’s placement in our birth chart, for instance, sheds light on our emotional inner world, reflecting our needs for emotional security. Mercury, on the other hand, reveals our communication style, hinting at the areas where we may excel linguistically, thus providing a direction where our purpose might lie. Together, the understanding of sun, moon, and mercury introduces us to the trinity of ourselves: the seen, the hidden, and the expressed.

Yet, the path to finding our purpose does not stop here. Like hidden treasure chests, our birth charts hold another key in the form of the North and South Nodes. The South Node, symbolising our past life gifts and lessons, signals a territory that feels naturally comfortable. But to grow, we must strive beyond the comfort of familiar grounds and move towards our North Node – a signpost to an uncharted terrain. The North Node, demanding courage and effort, points towards new teachings, experiences, and growth, and thus, aligns with our purpose.

Astrology also aligns us with the universe’s seasonal rhythm through the Jupiter and Saturn cycle. Every twelve years, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, invites us onto a new leg of our life journey. Saturn, the wise elder of the cosmos, completes its orbit every 29.5 years, pushing us towards maturity and realignment of our purpose. By understanding these cycles, when they occur in our lives, and how they aspect our Natal planets, we can gain insights into when are the potential timeframes of significant life and purpose transformation.

Above all, it’s crucial to remember that astrology does not provide an easy button for life’s complexities. Instead, it offers us a mirror to our souls, a lyrical song that echoes the music of our spirit. Astrology is an ethereal dance between fate and free will, making us co-authors of our destiny. So while the planets hint at potentialities, the final choice of actualizing this potential, of bearing the mantle of our purpose, lays in our hand.

The stars above fill us with wonder and the hope of possibility. They continually remind us that each of us is a unique, fiercely beautiful piece of the cosmic jigsaw puzzle. Astrologically aligning with them, learning their language and deciphering their wisdom, we learn to transcend external noise and pressures, tuning into the inner symphony of our souls. In aligning ourselves with the cosmos, we then embark on the greatest expedition of life: the journey of finding our purpose. This trek, as complex and challenging as it might be, ushers us into an intimate dance with existence, birthing an authentic life that is as expansive and mesmerising as the cosmos we are a part of. As we move forward, may we keep exploring, keep loving, and keep marveling at the celestial wonders that guide us.
