Why astrology is here to heal us

Why does astrology heals us?

I have learned so many different modalities of healing. They are useful. I believe astrology is one of the best tools. There is wisdom in the stars, which helps us live more fully. When we can understand this ancient tool, put it into practice. Our lives improve.


Most of all, astrology helps us understand ourselves. When we understand ourselves, we have a way to forgive ourselves and also know we’re meant to go. There is a light within all of us, and we’re all here to find our way and awaken as human beings.


The key lies in our natal charts, the transiting chart, the progressed chart, and the solar arc chart. They are all showing us what we are working on in this lifetime. Astrology helps us understand our evolutionary potential.


Let’s start with one of the basic aspects that we all know and that’s our sun. Some of us feel like your sun, or not, we we are driving in this lifetime to become more of the sun. We were born under.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy to embody. I think that’s the most common misconception about the sun, that you are just going to do it naturally but that’s not true. It’s something we are aiming to become. It takes effort, creativity and confidence to be our Sun Sign in the highest way. It’s who we aim to be. Our goal in life is to get to a place where we're projecting that light onto others, being a guide for others through the gift of this solar sign.


Our natal sun helps us know how to have more vitality, more life force. Helps become our individual selves, our identity and how to find our inner light. Taking care of our sun helps us feel more alive. How we can best express out in the world.


Taking care of our sun is an important part of feeling alive. Finding our creativity. This is how we can feel most alive, be our most creative self, the become our highest self. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to do. I think that’s the miss consumption of the sun that you’re just going to be good at it, that’s just not true. It’s it’s something that we’re aiming to get at.


It’s worth striving to become this. Our goal is to get to a place where we’re projecting that light onto others being a guide for others through this gift of ours. The solar sign we chose.

Here is a quick tool to help you better understand your suns evolutionary potential. To know what you are ready to strive for.

Find your inner light. You are ready to dream, surrender, trust the universe and remember your wholeness. Requires you to surrender, to let go, go with the flow.


When we remember our purpose, when we take of our sun, we become more whole, we move forward on our evolutionary goal. Every one of us has each of the signs somewhere in our charts. Every month we have transits through the signs, which means every month we are learning these lessons in some way.


Here is my belief: it's not about perfection. It's about realizing what the evolutionary potential is for our own Sun. It’s about trying, practicing, and getting used to getting out of our own way.

When we do, we can become the best version of ourselves. When we are doing our Sun well, we feel more alive. We have more vitality.


This will help you to shine a little brighter. That’s a good thing. When you shine, your life gets brighter. This is one of the ways Astrology can help us heal.. We are all here to remember our wholeness, to shine, and do the best we can. Astrology is a great tool to help us navigate the way.

Jupiter wants to make your life more magical. Allow it.

By Courtney Goldstein • August 22, 2025
Jupiter wants to make your life more magical. Allow it. In this issue, we see how astrology aligns with current events. It’s amazing right now, watching the transits come to life. We can see how we are all connected. Since we have this magical tool of astrology, we should use it for good. How, you might ask. We are being asked to know we have the power to be the change we desire. The transits we are experiencing as a whole, can be for the highest good of the collective, and we must all live our individual charts from the highest place. We are each being asked to be more confident and kind to ourselves. To know ourselves, to have courage, to be bold and understand ourselves better with North Node transiting Aries. To see ourselves as individuals and stand in our own light in a healthy way. From a place of wholeness we can have healthy relationships. We are all connected, and we are all being affected by the planets in motion. May we choose to have patience with ourselves, and those around us. We are all part of the whole, we are all responsible for the energy we are putting out in the world, and we get to choose how we will respond as we go through the next few months. Try imagining Jupiter as if you just found a four-leaf clover, giving us a bit of luck. If you believed luck was on your side… What would you do? How would you use your voice more? What would you say? How would you speak to others and more importantly how would you speak to yourself? What is luck? Luck is not random, its our ability to believe, that we can have what we say we want. Take action to get it, because we think it’s possible. We are each creating our own luck. It’s what you make out of life, the actions we decide to take and seeing the gifts available to us in each moment. More clearly, maybe we can create our luck with our thoughts and words. It’s time to say what you want, think what you want, and create what you want. With this powerful transit, Gemini in Jupiter, creating many aspects with other planets along the way. Be open-minded to what is possible for yourself, as well as for the world. Maybe how we can all see luck is trusting that we can do anything we want when we believe we can. We can! . We are all ready to take responsibility for our current situation and create the life we want. It is time to get what you want. With Jupiter giving you a helping hand. Anything and everything is possible. To get what we want, we must know what we want. Most people have a hard time articulating what they want. Typically, we are much better at knowing what we don't want. Have you ever noticed politicians mostly focus on telling us what we don’t want? Individually we are being asked to ask for what we want. My hope is that politicians will do the same. If we keep speaking about what we don’t want, the divine Neptune in Pisces in the last degree, might give us the answer, which will be exactly what we don’t want. ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT! Set your intentions for yourself, speak positively, and speak with clarity as well confidence. You never know who is listening. With Gemini, the messenger, ask for what you want with clarity and belief. We are all at this time being asked to make huge changes within ourselves and our lives, as the outer planets are all coming to the end of the signs which they have occupied for a long time, within the next years These planets want to help us, they are giving us the opportunity for great healing, and the ability to letting go of our patterns of thinking, our unconscious beliefs about ourselves, our unresolved karma and the ancestral beliefs we came in with. This is happening for us at the perfect time,so we can move forward as a collective with more confidence, feeling bold, individually empowered within ourselves so we are able to stand as one. As the North Node will move into Picses on January 12, 2025. We are ready to transcend, wake up, feel a great sense of oneness with one another. We are all preparing to start anew. Things are changing for all of us. We are either going through a wildly chaotic time or a wildly, releasing expansive one. You are ready to choose the latter. You ready to choose to respond verse choosing to react. As we all move through our individual lives, and our thoughts, words affect our lives and, therefore, will and do affect the collective. Faith, belief, hope, positivity, and bigger-picture thinking matter. Negative self-talk, comparing ourselves to one another, judging others, gossiping, and feeling scattered aren't helpful. It’s time we all speak into existence what we want. Speak out loud. Go back to the beginning of this article and answer the questions positively. Positivity! We are all responsible for our own energy and if each of us chooses to live at a higher vibration, the vibration all around us gets higher. What we consume mentally matters, the news lowers our energy, and how we speak can lower our energy. Who we speak to, and what they are speaking about matter. What are you thinking about? What are you talking about? It’s time to notice. Choose the better-feeling words, conversations and thoughts. Let us choose to speak kindly to one another. Most importantly with this Aries North Node transit let's love ourselves. Jupiter is here, it’s speaking to us and giving us messages. You are ready to hear them. Below are Mantras to help you align with Jupiter’s energy in your chart which will help you create more luck for yourself. Your mind matters! Stamp positive thoughts, possibilities into your mind.

Eris let us use her divine energy for our highest good.

By Courtney Goldstein • August 22, 2025
We all have Eris in our chart. We all have her divine energy transiting on our chart. We have all felt like Eris. We have all felt like we don't belong. If our charts are a map of our life where Eris sits, we are being asked: Speak our truth. To improve ourselves. Set the boundary you have been desiring to set. Doing something you are being called to do to feel better about who you are You are brave. She is asking you to stop comparing, and start becoming more of your authentic self, true self. Ever hear yourself say you want to feel more peaceful. Peace comes when you stop betraying yourself. What part of you feels silenced, angry, or overlooked? Where are you compromising your authenticity just to be accepted? What would it look like if you do apologizing for who you really are? What you really want? Our charts aren't here to trap you. They are here to help us guide to our own individual path to freedom. Eris can be used a force to break the chains. To improve ourselves. Have the courage to change the habits and hang ups are no longer feel fitting. She can show up as a subtle tension. A instinct, intuitive feeling, a nudge you can no longer ignore. She is right there. She wants to disrupt the lie that says, “You have to remain silent, you a have to stay small. She wants you to get what you want. Stop worrying about if others blame you. Stop blaming them. She has experienced this long enough. You no longer wants to pretend. Your tired of people pleasing. Done playing small to make everyone else comfortable.” She is asking you to stop waiting. Stop apologizing. Stop hiding. Stop shrinking. Take up space. Start becoming of who you truly are. You are ready to know you are valuable. When you reclaim your truth. You stop ignoring the hurt. When do, you are choosing growth over comfort, you entire chart starts to come alive. Your Moon can feel safe. Your Sun can shine honestly. Your Venus can create. Your Saturn can structure, not punish. Your path towards the North Node, becomes easier. “I AM A FORCE to awaken.” “I am here push you to understand your desires.” -Eris The rage, the feelings, the anger, comes to the surface. The suppressed emotions. The unspoken truths. The unmet needs. The gift the eruption brings, its needed as nothing changes until it’s acknowledged. Till we understand it. Nothing can heal in the dark. Please allow yourself to remember this: Eris doesn’t want to hurt you. She is here to help you heal by getting you agitated enough to remind you what you want. She will not let you stay unconscious. She doesn't want you to settle. She is not here to make you comfortable. She is here for your liberation . So the next time you feel the chaotoc feelings rising up, don't fear. Do not hide from it. Ask them kindly what they are here to show you. Because that discomfort? This disruption? That might be Eris. Calling you to push yourself, to feel the freedom available to you. To improve yourself. And my guess you are ready to answer the call.
