Your Stars. Carolyne Faulkner

Venus We all have our very own Venus in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if we wish to enhance our love life and attractiveness. Make a note in your journal of when Venus connects to your other planets or is in your sign. This is your time of charm and attractiveness. Mars We all have our very own Mars in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if we wish to manage our overall energy and powers of attraction. Make a note in your journal of when Mars meets your other planets or is in your sign. This is your time of physical energy, power of attraction and drive. Jupiter We all have our very own Jupiter in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if we wish to attract good fortune or be aware of when we might go over the top. Knowing when Jupiter meets your other planets, or is in your sign, will ensure that you make the most of your time of abundance and good fortune. Remember that we often only recognize good fortune long after the event! Saturn We all have our very own Saturn in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if we wish to master certain aspects of our life or overcome challenges from the past (even past lives). Make a note in your journal of when Saturn connects to your other planets or is in your sign. This is your time of learning, achieving and succeeding through hard work and valuable lessons. Uranus We all have our very own Uranus in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if we wish to increase our overall awareness and hone our ability to progress. Make a note in your journal of when Uranus connects to your other planets or is in your sign. This is your time of heightened awareness, power, insight, ideas and ingenuity. Neptune We all have our very own Neptune in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if we wish to know what to let go of in order to avoid confusion and illusion, and also how to increase our intuition and heed our dreams. Make a note in your journal of when Neptune connects to your other planets or is in your sign. This is your time of surrender and also time to increase your connection to the spiritual realms. Pluto We all have our very own Pluto in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if we wish to know where our power lies or where we may experience the most transformative experiences and attune to our motivation. Make a note in your journal of when Pluto connects with your other planets or is in your sign. This is your time of power and also when your potential for transformation is increased. Chiron We all have our very own Chiron in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if we wish to know where our ‘karmic wound’ lies and which area offers the most potential for soul healing. Recognize wounds and pain as the great teachers and opportunities for growth that they are. The North Node We all have our very own North Node in our birth-chart. This is useful to know, especially if you wish to know the sign that holds the key to your karmic direction in this life. Make a note in your journal of when the North Node connects to your planets or is in your sign. This is your time of purpose and is also the time to increase your understanding of the most rewarding path for you.
