Starcodes: Navigate Your Chart with Choice-Based Astrology

An exploration of the unique, empowering concept of choice-based astrology: your destiny is not yet decided and, with a better understanding of your chart, you can make the best choices to live your highest life.

Astrology does not define the future; rather, it describes a pattern. You, and only you, choose how to respond.

Here, astrologer Heather Roan Robbins teaches us to use the spectrum of each astrological concept and symbol—from its challenge through its practical application to its divine gift to give you choice. This same empowering approach can be applied to how you read your natal chart. It’s tempting to read descriptions of your individual chart and look for problems and difficult transits, rather than seeing the opportunities for healing and growth.

That’s where Starcodes steps in: it’s an astrological invitation to read your chart in a whole new way, explaining the signs as filters on the world’s stage lighting. The personality of each planet shines through the lens of a sign and takes on its tint and hue. The planetary personalities interact with each other in clear geometric patterns—or aspects—and so argue, support, challenge or energize one another. Once you understand your unique map—your planetary pattern—you may move through your life with confidence.
