Practical Applications for Using Astrology in Life

A doorway to understanding.


"Astrology appeals to our mental curiosities and opens us up to learning more about ourselves and other people."

Blaire Stanislao has been studying astrology since 2016, when the astrology bug bit her - clearly seen in her own personal charts.

Its so hard to narrow down what I like most about the study of astrology. I never really thought much except, "Gee, that's oddly correct." in my mind as I grew up and was only exposed to sun-astrology. 


Little did I know that after 11 years of marriage I would go through some really tough days as a new widow - which would "incidentally" lead me to look more closely at this ancient art. As a typical Virgo I approached things skeptically, diligently looking for holes for nearly 2 years. At that point, I realized that if I could not see it in a chart it was because I did not know how to read it, not because it wasn't plainly in the chart itself. With each day, I learn more and become more proficient at reading charts.


The things I love most about the study is the great potential it has for helping us love ourselves and others more, the assistance it can give us in making decisions that help us accomplish the best possible personal growth and the keys it holds to understand others more. I have always felt we could always benefit from learning more about ourselves and others in this world. Astrology brings an objective way at looking at things, people and places and is not based on any one person's opinion. It is a method by which people can appeal to their mental curiosities and open themselves up to learning more.


Over the years since I first really began studying astrology in 2016, I have leaned towards studying Vedic Astrology with sidereal calculations. I chose this avenue because I found there was more information readily available, there was far less arguing over its true validity and eventually I have learned for myself and those closest to me, and the charts I've studied, it is more precise. That being said, I know that all forms have truth to them as well and enjoy exploring those, albiet on a less frequent basis.
