Jupiter has hugely optimistic energy: It rules over luck, good fortune, truth, and how we want to grow and expand. So if you ever hear an astrologer say something like "your Venus is in Gemini" or "your Venus sign is Gemini," they're referencing that a certain star sign (in this case Gemini) influences whatever personality trait that the planet (Venus) pertains to. The main significance to these planets and their placement is that they represent different aspects of your personality. The planets are represented on natal charts by glyphs, and while alternative versions of said glyphs, exist, the below depiction is generally how you can expect them to appear. Natal charts include planetary placements, which is where a given planet was when you were born, based on your geographic location.

How to read a natal chart using planets as a guide McFarland offers a variety of services including group sessions, sounds like the best party ever! To book a session, visit my birth chart and the findings from several readings I've had using it, find an overview below of how to read a natal chart by recognizing planetary symbols and their placement. In a way, having a birth chart reading felt like an extension of the initial excitement that comes with being a parent. Since the moment I knew my daughter was coming into this world I dreamed about the kind of person she'd be and things she'd do in this life. My little firecracker was made to shine, it's in the stars after all! I've been reflecting on our session ever since and how it's helping me be more in tune with who my daughter is and how I can support her growth. I walked away with a really important reminder that I often times can lack patience, and that's something my child needs and deserves. McFarland hit on all these points and more. I already knew that my daughter marches to the beat of her own drum, that she's a feisty girl that likes things HER way - but that she's also gentle and kind. The session took about 90 minutes and flew by. Insider tip.don't start off the session by counting the number of red lines you see, you can't change it. Analyzing each of these lines and how they are interconnected tells a story and provides further insight into who you are.

"The red lines show energy patterns that indicate lessons, challenges, obstacles, setbacks and delays. The blue lines indicate energy patterns that come with talent, gift, opportunity and ease. Nothing I’m going to tell you about your child is something you don’t already know, it’s reaffirming information." "Through that lens, based on where the planets were and who they were interacting with I can provide insight and guidance into who you are and how you are naturally wired to be in this life. From an astrological perspective, what is happening up above in the celestial landscape is also happening down below on earth," she said. "The birth chart is a snapshot in time of where the planets were the moment you took your very first breath. Having no idea what I was going into beforehand, I have to admit that this was SUPER fun! When McFarland shared her screen of the birth chart (because of course we did this on Zoom), I was thinking.what the heck is this? But she took me through each step and explained everything on it. If any of you have ever gotten your charts read, this is the exact same. Ahead of the session, I sent McFarland my daughter June's date and location of birth, and the exact time, to the minute, she was born. Look, after a year of limited childcare (and patience), I'll take all the parenting advice I can get. But as a mom to a five-year-old girl who's extremely strong-willed, determined, opinionated and kind.I was super curious what more McFarland had to share.

To be completely transparent, astrology is something I never really got into, and I know very little about it. "We take time to look at the energy patterns your child came into the world with and how you can better understand and more consciously parent." "This session is for you to understand more about about your child and the ways in which they naturally operate," she said. She offers Astrology Birth Chart Readings for anyone and everyone, including your child's. McFarland's company Shift + Shine is all about helping others find their strengths and live their best life, including helping parents be the best version of ourselves. But, according to local astrologer and healer Ashley McFarland, it's an important part of your parenting toolkit. The idea that I could get to know my own child through her astrology chart is brand new to me, and nothing I had thought of before.
