2. Planets aspecting natal planets (birth chart planets)

 

Step 4: Apply Planetary Positions to Your Life

 

Reflect on:

 

1. Current themes and challenges

2. Opportunities for growth and success

3. Areas of life needing attention (e.g., relationships, career)

4. Personal strengths and weaknesses

 

Example: Using Current Planetary Positions

 

Let’s say:

 

– Jupiter is in Cancer (expansion in emotions and family)

– Saturn is in Pisces (discipline in spirituality and intuition)

– Your Sun is in Leo (creative self-expression)

 

Consider:

 

– How can you nurture your emotional and family life (Jupiter in Cancer)?

– How can you discipline your spiritual practice (Saturn in Pisces)?

– How can you express your creativity and self-confidence (Sun in Leo)?

 

Tips and Reminders

 

1. Consult astrology experts for personalized guidance.

2. Keep an open mind and critical thinking.

3. Use planetary positions as guidance, not predictions.

4. Reflect on your birth chart and personal experiences.

 

By following these steps, you’ll be able to effectively use current planetary positions to gain insights and guidance in your life.
