Welcome to Astrology 101: Breaking Down the Birth Chart Series (Part 1/N)

Hey hey, babies! ✨

✨ Welcome back to The Softer Sessions — a cozy space where we explore astrology for self-discovery, soul growth, and inner clarity. ✨

In this episode, we’re diving into the personal planets in astrology — the key placements in your birth chart that reveal your core personality, emotional style, communication patterns, instincts, and desires.

Remember that moment you first pulled up your natal chart and thought, “Uhhh… what is all this?” 😭Same. And that’s exactly why this episode exists: to break it all down gently, with metaphors and heart.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

* What the personal planets are in astrology — and why they’re the first key to understanding your natal chart

* A relatable metaphor that turns your birth chart into a cosmic household — where each planet is a unique roommate influencing your inner world

* How planets like the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars represent your core self, emotional needs, mental wiring, love language, and passions

* Why your inner planets are essential for understanding your everyday behavior, identity, and spiritual direction

🌿 This episode is perfect for you if:

* You’re new to astrology and want a beginner-friendly guide to understanding your natal chart

* You’ve seen terms like Sun sign, Moon sign, or Mercury in Gemini, but you’re not sure what they actually mean

* You’re on a journey of self-development and want to explore how astrology can help you understand yourself more deeply

* You love using metaphors to learn — like imagining your birth chart as a house full of lovable, quirky characters à la Inside Out

* You want a gentle but insightful way to begin working with astrology for personal growth and self-discovery

🌿 In this Astrology 101 episode, we begin building your understanding of your astrological blueprint from the inside out. The personal planets are closest to Earth, and in many ways, they’re closest to you — showing up in your moods, thoughts, choices, and everyday energy.

So if you’ve ever wondered:

* What do the planets in my birth chart mean?

* How does astrology help with self-discovery?

* Where do I even start with reading my chart?
