Why Should You Consider Astrology For Decision Making?

Simply put, Astrological occurrences are one of the most impactful influences on your day-to-day life.

Just by interpreting your astrological birth chart, you can identify some of your core personality traits, challenges you may be prone towards and/or times in your life when you might experience major changes on your life path. Astrology, in a way, is like a cheat sheet for your emotional highs, lows, seemingly “random” behavioral patterns and strengths! (And who doesn’t like cheat sheets?!)

Understanding the cosmos’ current and upcoming cycles and changes allows you to better interpret events that occur in your lifespan and predict your future emotional patterns and challenges. This understanding allows you to make big decisions in an informed way because you can actually calculate the perfect time to take specific types of actions in your life. 

Did you just experience a major shift on your life path or realize you were in the middle of an important life event? Odds are, it wasn’t random like you might think. The moment a newborn takes their first breath, the energy of the universe and all the planetary and astrological alignments at that moment in time are permanently “bonded” with the child, one could say. Just by reading your natal chart (which is based off the date and time you were born), you can tell what your personality traits are likely to be, what skills or tasks you may not be so well suited for, times in your life where you may be vulnerable to a strong influence or change, and more. Once you learn to understand these predispositions and influences heading your way, you can take action to find your way around a particular challenge/issue, or really make some positive changes in the direction you want to go. 

Most would agree that every now and then we all have those nights where you’ll go to bed with a plan in mind for the following day, but when you wake up things just don’t seem to go anything like you had hoped. Astrology can help with that! By looking at the positioning of planets and constellations in your chart and in the sky, you can actually begin to predict future emotional patterns and challenges you might run into! There’s a reason those daily horoscopes you get from that app on your phone can feel just a little too accurate sometimes. In those cases, the forecast was most likely interpreted and planned out by an astrologer with a deep understanding of how this ancient practice works. Daily horoscope apps and newsletters are basically just a mini, generalized version of what it’s like to work with an astrologer and they’re designed to help guide you towards making the right choices at the right times in your life. 

All of that is great, but working with and learning to understand what’s going on Astrologically for you specifically is what can actually help you make big decisions at a time when it’s most appropriate, and the energy of the universe is working in your favor. Referring to your natal chart or working with an astrologer to plan for an important event is a great step in the right direction. You may want to consider this if you’re planning a major change in your career path or even if you just want to know when will be the best day to plan a social activity with your friends vs. staying home to do some self care. This type of detailed interpretation provides you with the information you need to make decisions in an informed way because it allows you to calculate the perfect time to take specific types of actions in your life. 

For example, if you’ve ever noticed that around the time of a new moon you’re a bit more indecisive or have trouble deciding on a path to take, you’re not alone. The moon’s monthly cycles and positioning actually does impact our mental and emotional capacity in a very real way- just like it pulls the tides of our ocean back and forth every day in a predictable pattern. To combat this, do your best to avoid making any important decisions around the new moon, and try to plan ahead for when you know you will be in a better frame of mind to make those decisions. 

Some approaches for planning and decision making involve working with your natal chart, others may create charts to plan for a specific event or learn the answer to a specific question. Overall, it just depends on the type of guidance or answer you’re looking for. Working with a professional is often a very wise choice since there really is quite a lot of study, practice, and skill that goes into reading the energy of the universe- as one can imagine.
