Astrological birth charts are as unique as snowflakes, indicating the challenges and the gifts that each of us carries in life. The planets evoke powerful symbolic archetypes of those energies shaping soul and psyche, and the planetary transits correlate with the cycles and flow of our lives through time. Understanding the archetypal patterns of one's own life can support personal growth and assist in a journey towards self-fulfillment and ease in the world, and towards offering one's truest and most unique self in service to a greater good.
