Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where astrology meets psychology for some self-discovery magic. After three years of asking literally everyone their time of birth (yes, I’m that friend now), I’ve become hooked on exploring what the stars and a little bit of psychology can teach us about who we are and why we tick.
Whether you love astrology, are just curious, or enjoy thinking about life in a deeper way, there’s something here for you. This might even be the start of a whole astrology series where I figure myself out and share the journey with you. Don’t worry if you’re not into astrology, I’m mixing in real-life insights so it’s fun for everyone.
In astrology, you’re not just one sign. It’s a blend of many signs that come together to shape who you are. I’m an Aries Sun, Libra Moon, and Leo Rising, but that’s just scratching the surface. While we’re diving into these 3 placements today, there’s so much more to explore. So, let’s peel back the layers together and uncover the many sides of ourselves.
Aries Sun: Bold, Honest, and Unpredictable
Your Sun sign is all about your core self, your ego, motivations, and what drives you. As an Aries Sun, I’m fiery, spontaneous, and fiercely independent. I’m optimistic, bold, and a natural leader, but let’s be real: I’m also impulsive, straightforward, and maybe a little too honest. People either love me or think I’m intimidating, but once you get to know me, you’ll see I’m just a big softie underneath all that fire.
I get mad fast, but I also forgive just as quickly. That’s classic Aries energy: an explosion of emotions followed by, “Wait, why was I mad again?”
Now, let’s mix in some psychology. My unpredictability? My impulsiveness? That probably comes from growing up in a household where emotions were unpredictable. I was constantly on edge, never knowing what to expect. So now, I’m the same way: a little chaotic, but always adapting.
And my independence? That came from being my own safe space. Growing up in a household where my parents often fought, the only peace I could rely on was within myself. Naturally, I became self-reliant. I didn’t have a clear role model to look up to for who I wanted to be; instead, I had a clear picture of who I didn’t want to become.
I’m not here to blame my parents they were still teenagers themselves when they had me, doing the best they could. But now, I just want to heal the parts of me that were shaped by those experiences.
Honestly, isn’t it fun to learn more about yourself and start living life the way you truly want? That straightforward honesty? That’s me refusing to waste time pretending. If you like me, great. If not, that’s okay too. Life’s too short for fake vibes.
Libra Moon: The Peacekeeper with a Side of Charm
Your Moon sign reflects your emotional self, the part of you that only your closest friends get to see. With a Libra Moon, I’m wired to seek balance, harmony, and charm my way out of conflict. I’ll admit, I’ve been a people-pleaser for most of my life, doing everything I could to avoid confrontation. But trust me, that doesn’t always end well. (Spoiler: More on my messy love life in another blog.)
Relationships? Well, let’s say I’m relationship-oriented but not necessarily a relationship person. I blame my Aries Sun for this. It’s not that I don’t love love; I’m a hopeless romantic at heart, and I definitely have my moments where I enjoy flirting and connecting with different people. But my Aries Sun also makes me value my independence, so if someone doesn’t align with that or isn’t the right fit, I have no problem standing up for myself.
I’ve learned to avoid getting too carried away in romantic situations. Sometimes, I can romanticize relationships and idealize people, but I’ve gotten much better at recognizing when that’s happening and staying grounded. It’s a work in progress, but I’m learning to balance my desire for connection with my need to protect my own space and boundaries.
My Libra Moon has taught me to process my feelings with more balance. Instead of yelling or lashing out (like I used to), I’ve learned to write, reflect, and pause before reacting. This Moon sign helps me blend my fiery Aries energy with a touch of grace.
Forget about astrology for a moment: I think this mix of Aries and Libra is like having ADHD with some anxious attachment issues sprinkled in, passionate, a little chaotic, but always striving for harmony. Does that help paint the picture?
Leo Rising: The Bright First Impression
Your Rising sign is how the world sees you, the energy you project when you first walk into a room. With Leo Rising, I come across as confident, warm, and maybe a little extra. People notice me, even if I’m not trying to stand out. (Blame the Leo vibes.)
Leo Rising energy has this natural magnetism, it’s like you shine without even trying. And no, this isn’t about being arrogant. It’s about knowing your worth and radiating that self-assurance in an effortless, humble way. The symbol of Leo is the lion, and those with Leo Rising exude a radiant aura that commands attention and leaves an indelible mark on everyone they meet.
Oh, and let’s not forget about the hair. Leo Rising is known for having that iconic, voluminous mane, shiny, full of life, and impossible to ignore. It’s a physical reflection of that quiet confidence.
Not only is Leo Rising naturally seen as very confident, but when it’s mixed with Aries energy, you get that confident, boss-bitch vibe that’s impossible to ignore. However, it’s not always as effortless as it seems. Deep down, my Libra Moon is screaming, “Don’t look at me!” or “Did I do my hair right?” or even “Am I being ridiculous right now?” It’s this constant interplay between outward confidence and inner self-awareness that keeps things interesting.
That said, my Leo Rising isn’t about demanding the spotlight. It’s more about presence than performance. I don’t need to try to be seen, it just happens. It’s a balance between boldness and humility, charm and confidence.
I’m not always the loudest person in the room, but my Leo Rising energy ensures I’m noticed anyway. I can work a crowd when I want to, but I’m just as comfortable sitting back and observing. It’s this adaptability that lets me thrive in both social and introspective spaces.
The Big Picture
Astrology has helped me understand myself better, but it’s not just about the stars. My personality, my chaotic Aries Sun, peace-loving Libra Moon, and radiant Leo Rising is also shaped by my life experiences. Growing up with unpredictable parents, learning to stand up for myself, and figuring out how to embrace every messy, beautiful part of who I am has been a journey.
So, what’s the takeaway? Astrology isn’t about blaming your sign or your upbringing. It’s about self-awareness. Understanding my placements has helped me embrace my fiery independence, find peace in my emotions, and channel my bold energy in a way that feels authentic.
I’m not perfect, but I’m learning and isn’t that what life’s all about?
That’s it for today’s cosmic therapy session! And stay tuned for the next episode of self-discovery, where I might dive into my complicated love life or spill the tea on my friends. Catch you later! xx
