Astrology 101

What is Astrology?

Astrology is an ancient language that helps you understand your energetic makeup — the patterns, emotions, and purpose that shape who you are. It’s not about predicting your future, but about reconnecting with the deeper wisdom already within you. Your birth chart, based on the exact time, date, and place you were born, maps out your cosmic blueprint and reveals the rhythms guiding your life.

When you understand your chart, life begins to make more sense — why you’re drawn to certain people, why some paths feel effortless while others feel forced, and how to move through challenges with more clarity and trust.

​

In astrology, your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs form your “big three” — the core of your personality and energetic expression. The sun sign is the one most are familiar with - say you were born September 9, your sun sign would be a Virgo. Let's dive into what these 3 represent and then we'll dive into each zodiac sign.

​

If you don't know your big three, you can quickly pull up your chart below.

The Human Behind Your Astrology Reading

I'm Arlene - your sassy Astrologer

I guide women through astrology, Human Design, breathwork, and sacred practices to create everyday tools that actually work. My mission is to help women like you reclaim your power by aligning with your true nature.

For years I walked the spiritual path, collecting modalities — astrology, Human Design, breathwork, Ayurveda — but I kept hitting walls: theory without embodiment, inspiration that fizzled, clarity that felt “out there.”

Through my own journey of unraveling conditioning and leaning into energetic alignment, I developed a way to bridge the spiritual with the everyday. Now, I guide women to bring down their light into real life—so they can make decisions that feel good, live with rooted purpose, and finally trust their own wisdom. I would love the opportunity to work with you if my work resonates with what you're seeking. 

If you're not quite ready for a reading but still want to be plugged into all things woo-woo, subscribe to my newsletter!
