Unearth life’s purpose through Astrology with Penny Walters
Have you ever gazed at the night sky and wondered if there’s more to your existence than the daily grind? According to astrologist Penny Walters, Astrology might help you unearth your life’s purpose. Penny believes our life’s purpose is written in the stars, waiting to be decoded through our birth charts—celestial snapshots taken at the precise moment of our birth.
More than Horoscopes
For many, Astrology is synonymous with Horoscopes and star signs. However, Penny explains that while horoscopes are a branch of astrology, they are just the surface. Astrology is the study of cycles—it’s about understanding the planets in their celestial dance and how they influence human life based on your birth chart. With precision, a birth chart can showcase your life’s story, your purpose, and the experiences you are destined to encounter.
Through her own life experience, Penny says that astrology has allowed her to understand her experiences better, facilitating healing and personal growth. She’s not only learnt to appreciate what her past has shaped her into, but has also cultivated empathy.
The Basics of Astrology
The Sun, Moon, and all the planets play a role in defining our life journey. Understanding astrology is about recognising these cycles and their interactions with our birth charts. Penny’s Sun is Taurus, which has taught her about personal worth, and her North Node, guiding her towards her soul’s mission.
Recognising that you’re in misalignment with your purpose often comes about persistent obstacles or repeated patterns that, if you stop and observe, can then lead you back onto the right path.
Astrology also has predictive capabilities known as transits and progressions, which allow astrologers to foresee potential life events or challenges. These tools illustrate how planetary movements can trigger events within your birth charts, bringing aspects of your journey to life.
Engaging with your life’s purpose
Penny encourages everyone to seek guidance in understanding their birth charts, which can highlight key areas needing attention and growth. She notes that life’s challenges, whilst difficult to navigate in the moment, are essential learning events. They are integral to evolving and aligning with your destined purpose. By recognising these events not as obstacles but as integral parts of our path, we can embrace life’s teachings and utilise them for personal and spiritual growth.
Astrology is an enlightening tool that not only reveals your life purpose but also enhances your understanding towards yourself and others. When you’re open to a different perspective you can gain new insights and meaning for your life.
