Sept 7 astrology guide for beginners: Start interpreting your stars now!
Alright so last Tuesday I finally caved and tried this astrology thing everyone’s yapping about. Pulled up some random site saying “just enter your birthday duh” and figured why not. Typed in October 15th, 1990, 9:30 AM, London – boom. Got hit with a wall of circles, lines, and weird symbols. Total gibberish. Felt like reading Ikea instructions upside down.
The Messy First Attempt
Started clicking whatever popped up. Saw “Sun in Libra” and nodded like yeah sounds fancy. Scrolled down and spotted “Moon in Scorpio.” Immediately thought uh oh drama alert? But honestly had no clue. That “Pluto in Scorpio” thing showed up too – all dark and mysterious. Tried matching planet positions to those tiny descriptions. Half of it sounded like vague fortune cookie stuff. Got annoyed when the site mentioned “houses.” Houses? Thought planets lived in space, not buildings. Clicked some diagram and it threw terms like “7th house” at me. Swore loudly.
Figuring Out the Planet Chaos
Next day, grabbed coffee and attacked it again. Decided to tackle one space rock at a time:
- Stared at Mercury placement – mine’s in Libra apparently. Description said “you talk pretty and avoid fights.” Pretty accurate ‘cause I hate yelling.
- Saw Venus in Virgo and laughed. Called me a picky perfectionist. Yeah guilty – my spice rack’s alphabetized.
- Mars in Leo section claimed I show off when mad. Might’ve cringed remembering that time I yelled “BET YOU REGRET IT NOW HUH” during a parking argument.
Slowly these planet things started making scary sense.
That Moon Thing Hit Different
Moon in Scorpio though? That one slapped me. Said stuff like “you feel everything super hard but hide it.” Also mentioned obsessions and trust issues. Sat there like 👀 ‘cause last month I definitely reread a 3-year-old text thread. And yeah I test people. Alot.
Then stumbled on “Chiron in Cancer” – the “eternal wound” spot. Said family stuff hurts deep. Honestly? Felt too real. Shut the laptop for a bit after that.
Putting Jigsaw Pieces Together
Came back later less shook. Saw how the planets interacted – like how my Scorpio moon clashed with Libra sun’s chill vibe. Explained why I can seem calm but inside it’s a tornado. Started looking up friends’ birthdays like a creep. Got one buddy’s chart saying “Saturn in 5th house makes dating suck.” He got dumped twice last year. No comment.
What Actually Stuck
Truth? Still think 40% is nonsense. But digging into moon feelings helped. Learned:
- Birth time matters way more than I thought – 15 mins changes houses apparently?!
- Ignoring the scary symbols first helped – just focus on planet meanings.
- Your rising sign? Total trap. Spent hours searching “how to know mine” before giving up.
Gotta admit though – seeing patterns in how you act because of planet drama? Kinda wild. Still wouldn’t plan my life around it but yeah… might peek at the moon phase before venting at someone next time.
