Love this. Felt like it was speaking right to me! I have had an interest in astrology for about 6 years now. But only really been able to go deep in the last 2. Taurus rules my 3rd house so I can’t be rushed with my capacity to learn. The approach for which I learn has been as you mentioned in the blog- by pursuing subjects that excited me or there was a curiosity for.
I started reading everyone and anyone’s charts that share their details. Transit astrology always seems to be my favourite thing to read and monitor. And every time there is bigger transit, I pay attention to how that impacts me as it helps me to understand it more deeply. For example Saturn and Neptune rx have been pivotal for me this year because they’re in my first house. I also have Uranus transiting my NN in the 3rd. This one has been interesting because I knew it was coming but was wondering when I would feel the effects. After I had two challenging weeks of being human, that’s when I clicked that the transit was taking effect which helped me to integrate my experiences. The interesting thing is that Uranus will also go rx on my NN so I’m both slightly nervous and super curious to see how this plays out. I ❤️ astrology!!
I love some of your tips thank you Alice and really enjoy reading your posts:-)Thank you for sharing your work.
I have been studying medical astrology and herbal astrology for two years now. I started off doing so many charts for different clients including myself and my family charts. I have found it utterly awe inspiring to see how much information is logged in the natal chart like a map of someone's life and so utterly accurate. It is a very helpful tool to have in therapy. I did over do it with excitement of each discovery and overloaded myself with far too many charts!! I have now learnt to pace myself and find a rhythm and format that suits me. Each year I follow the cycles of the planets, the seasons and the houses as we enter each sign. It breaks my study of myself into bite size monthly pieces where I can focus on the elemental force, the quality and the energetic architecture and the areas of the body being influenced at each point of each season. For me it has deepened my connection to myself, a deeper layer of understanding with each cycle and a better understanding of the planets, the plants and the cosmos. I am sure I will never get tired of delving into this ancient practice ;-) I find my writing practice is in itself a way of deepening my experience and knowledge. Everything I write about has been my felt experience from my own personal journey and the observation of my clients experiences.
I love this, thank you!! I definitely agree with watching how things unfold throughout the year, it's so literal. And yes, totally get being overwhelmed with charts ahah, I get way too ambitious with it and then burn out.
I have a question you maybe able to shed some light on. I have non identical twin boys who are about to turn 13.Their charts are identical. They were born 5 mins apart but they are so different and obviously have different paths to walk. We have considered that their conception time was different and that a chart from conception would be more accurate? I would be fascinated to hear your thoughts on this if you have time :-)
I went through infertility some years ago (my condolences, it’s such a tough time, I hope you get a happy ending) but eventually my daughter was born on my exact Pluto Square. There’s probably more to it, of course, but I thought that was interesting.
Love your advice! Really great tips. Especially the one with beginning a chart reading ASAP. Astrology is a language, so the earlier we start using it in practice, the faster we will be able to master our skills
I started studying astrology 26 years ago at 12 years old and this is exactly the process I took and continue to take as I learn more and more. It’s a fascinating and bottomless subject matter!
Writing is also a huge part of my work and I’ve noticed, especially with astrology, that whenever I have to write something it really helps to first speak it out loud as if I’m explaining it or presenting it to someone. Then I’ll have an idea how my train of thought goes and I’ll transfer it to paper.
Hi Alice, thanks for your insight, I’m new here and found this fascinating and generous. I’m a mummy of 4 and had 4 very different pregnancies, I’d love to share my experience for your research if you are interested.

I would listen to this episode of the astrology podcast, he explains it way better than I can! https://open.spotify.com/episode/4IBOy8CQKGARr8NJdwFGA1?si=KfSFF1E9Q4O36fxoH3LfTw
Thanks Alice! I can't wait to listen to this🙏😊
Absolutely love this! I’ve been really studying my chart so now I’m about to practice with my family charts! I’m so excited😊

Loved the topic this week!

yes! writing like how you speak is so important too!

Email me your birth information, would love to see the similarities and differences between all 4! Alice@alicebellastrology.com
