Welcome to Astrology 101: Breaking Down the Birth Chart Series (Part 2/N)

Henlo my lovessss!

In this episode, we’re continuing our Astrology 101 series — and things are about to get deeper. After meeting your personal planetary crew, it’s time to zoom out and meet the cosmic forces working quietly behind the scenes… yet shaping the bigger landscape of everything!

These aren’t the planets that text you every day — they’re the ones that show up when you’re on the edge of a MASSIVE breakthrough, breakdown, or becoming.

Are you excited yet because I am!!

꒰ღ˘‿˘ற꒱❤⃛

✨ Here’s what you can expect in this episode:

* An introduction to your outer planets and why they matter more than you think

* A relatable family member metaphor to help you understand how Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto move through your life

* How these “extended family members” shape your growth, awakening, and transformation

* A sneak peek at how their energy plays out differently from the personal planets

This one’s a soul-stretcher — we’re talking cosmic timing, identity shifts, and the forces that don’t just influence you… they change you.

🌿 This episode is for you if:

* You’ve heard of the outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto — but you’re not quite sure what they really do in your chart (or why they feel like such a big deal).

* You’re curious about the deeper forces that shape your beliefs, boundaries, breakthroughs, spiritual yearnings, and transformations over time.

* You want to get to know these planetary powerhouses: what they’re here to teach you, how they show up when they’re out of balance, and how to work with them consciously.

* You want to learn each planet’s role, mission, and how it moves through your life

* You love making sense of your inner world through metaphors — especially ones that turn your birth chart into a cosmic household of wildly different (but oddly familiar) characters.

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

Hey hey, babies! ✨

In this episode of The Softer Sessions, we’re starting to really get into it — and by “it,” I mean your actual birth chart! and all the little pieces that make it so magical (and sometimes confusing at first).

Remember that moment when you first pulled up your chart and thought, “Uhhh… what is all this?” Yes — I’ve been there too! 😭 That’s exactly why we’re breaking it down gently, starting with the personal planets!

(✿˵ ꒡3꒡˵)

✨ Here’s what you can expect in this episode:

Today, I’m introducing you to a metaphor that makes it so much easier to understand your chart: think of it like your own cosmic household! 👀

* Who’s living in it?

* What are their vibes?

* What are the rooms in the house?

* And how do they all interact and make affect your personhood?

We’ll begin with the first key players: your personal planets aka who’s living in your personal household!They are your inner cast of characters! Each one holds a distinct energy that reveals something about your personality, emotional style, instincts, desires, and soul direction. Think of Riley’s personified emotions from the Disney movie Inside Out, your personal planets are similar to that!You'll meet a few of them today… and we’ll get to know the rest on the following episodes!

🌿 This episode is for you if:

* You’ve seen words like “Sun,” “Moon,” and “Mercury” on your chart… and weren’t exactly sure what they do

* You’re curious about the parts of you that influence how you feel, think, act, and express yourself day to day

* You want to get to know your inner world through the lens of your personal planets — the ones closest to you (literally and energetically!)

* You love learning through metaphors, like imagining your chart as a household full of quirky, lovable characters — just like Riley’s personified emotions in Inside Out but with a twist!

💫 Want a mini astrology reading just for you? 💫

Henlo babies!

Of course, I couldn’t leave you hanging with just one episode — so here’s another little gift I’m sending your way! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

In our last session, I shared a little about how astrology unexpectedly changed my life — and if you haven’t listened to Episode 1 yet, I highly recommend starting there to get the full vibe of what its like hanging out together. 🌟

Today, we're opening a whole new chapter: getting to know your natal chart — aka your personal life manual!! Think of this episode as your beginner-friendly guide to understanding what a birth chart really is, why it matters, and how it holds the keys to decoding your own cosmic blueprint.

٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

Here’s what you can expect in this episode:

✨ A simple breakdown of what a natal chart actually is ✨ A fresh way to see your birth chart — not as a rigid destiny, but as a beautiful map full of possibilities✨ How understanding your natural energies through astrology can help you stop fighting yourself and start flowing with who you truly are

🌈 This episode is for you if:

* You’re curious how astrology can actually help you get to know yourself better (and not just predict random things)

* You’ve always wanted to understand your birth chart but felt overwhelmed or didn’t know where to even begin

* You’re ready to see yourself with fresh eyes — with more compassion, curiosity, and trust in the person you're becoming

I know getting started with astrology can get confusing,

and that's exactly why I loved recording this episode — I kept thinking of my past self, who was confused AF but so enthusiastic about understanding her life through astrology.

I truly believe that learning your own chart and really getting to know it is an act of radical self-love. It's not about labeling yourself, but about meeting yourself where you are, with openness and curiosity. If you’re in a season where you’re craving deeper connection with yourself, this is where it all begins — and honestly, I love that for you. 🌷

Save your birth chart on your phone, keep it close — because in the next episodes, we’ll be taking this beautiful map and exploring it together, piece by piece. 💌Resources mentioned in the episode can be found at the bottom of the show notes! 🫶🏽

Henlo my babies! 🥺✨

The wait is finally over — I’m beyond excited to share the very first episode of The Softer Sessions with you all!

This episode is super special to me because I’m diving into how astrology truly transformed my life and helped me reconnect with who I really am. If you’ve ever felt like life isn’t quite clicking or that you’re searching for something deeper, this episode is for YOU!

(*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ

Here’s what I open up about in this episode:

🌑 Who I was before astrology — I take you back to my time as a grad student in Tokyo. On paper, everything looked fine, but on the inside? It was a different story! If you’ve ever felt like life made sense on paper but not in your heart, you’re not alone — and this episode might speak to that part of you.

🌕 How astrology found me — A few unexpected moments (and a well-timed book!) that nudged me toward astrology — and toward myself.

👁 The transformation it sparked — The quiet, powerful shift that happened when I started to understand my chart — and how it gave me language for gut-feelings I’d carried for years.

✨ 5 surprising ways astrology ended up changing my life for the better — Spoiler: it goes way beyond just knowing your sun sign!

🔗 This episode is for you if:

* You’re at a crossroads and questioning which direction to take

* You’ve always wanted to dive deeper into astrology, not just sun signs

* You’re craving a deeper connection with yourself and want tools to navigate life with purpose

* You’re healing from burnout, people-pleasing, or creative blocks

On a more personal note, If you’ve ever wondered:

“Is this really the life I’m meant to be living?”“Why do I feel a little out of place, even when everything seems fine?”“Could there be something more out there for me?”

Then hey, I’ve been there too (and tbh, I still find myself asking those from time to time). And maybe, just maybe, my story will feel a little like yours.

If you’re in a season of questioning, feeling stuck, or not quite sure what your next chapter looks like—I hope this episode feels like a deep breath. Or a quiet little nudge to start seeing your life through a softer, more soul-aligned lens.

Let’s hang out for a bit!

I can’t promise astrology will give you all the answers right away, but it might help you start asking the questions you’ve been avoiding—and guide you back to the parts of yourself that have been waiting to be heard.
