Our charts are reflections of the universe that exists within us. Each planet, placement, and point speaks to different levels of our own humanity and expression. We may choose to work with specific planets to boost the energy of that planet or to more naturally engage in our cosmic rhythms.
In exploring our recently launched Zodiac Collection, we invite you to not feel limited to just one sign, but to be guided by your intention for the journal, reflecting on your chart and choosing the sign based on the planet or placement that speaks to the theme of your practice. Our chart is laced with the nuances of the human experience, choosing your journal or notebook based on the placement that rules the area in life of your focus, be it shadow work, self-worth, ancestral healing, will support you in deepning your intention in connection with your natal chart.
To better understand the powers and possibilities of each placement, it may help to familiarize yourself with the planets on a deeper level. The planets can be broken down into the luminaries, personal planets, social planets, and generational planets. Each speak to different layers of our interconnectedness to the cosmos.

Ascendant
Social Self and Demeanor
Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon the moment you took your first breath. Your ascendant speaks to your social self, demeanor and external expression. The first impression you make and the way you innately show up in the world.
To work more closely with your Rising Sign, choose the journal in the sign of your ascendant. Reflecting on your rising sign can shed light on how you naturally express yourself and are perceived, what you need to feel seen as well as your potential and path in this lifetime.
