I just had one of those sort of jumbled late night thoughts, soooo let me try and make this make sense.
Okay so, when it comes to astrology I am usually very frustrated because I don’t relate to my sun sign. For example, I’m an Aries, and one of the main things I hear about Aries are that they are athletic and incredibly impulsive. I don’t relate to that at all. Especially my hatred of sports; that will never change. But I realized that I am occasionally impulsive, and I usually push that down in order to think clearly because I can’t live life going with the first thought in my head. Now, before I can connect this to some actual meaning, I must also say this.
I recently read something that put astrology into a different perspective for me. I read that astrology is intended to help us grow by seeing where/why our flaws exist, and this finally gave me a concrete goal when it comes to learning about astrology.
This is how the latter and former idea connect: You may not relate to most aspects of your sign because you have overcome them. No, being athletic is not something I can overcome, and that will forever be something about my sign that I can’t relate to. But impulsiveness? That’s definitely an Aries’ trait. And it’s definitely a trait I exhibited, far before I got into astrology. I just overcame it. And I think this might be the case for many of us. So when you see things about your sign that make you think “I am the exact opposite of that!” Or “I would never do that!” Consider if that was something you might have done in the past and whether the reason you don’t relate to it is because you’ve grown past it.
Of course, this may not be the way for everyone. Hell, maybe no one except me. But it certainly gave me a new appreciation for my sign and a better connection to it.
Tl;dr: If you don’t relate to a sign in your natal chart because of certain aspects of it, think about whether or not you acted in those aspects in the past, and have simply grown past them in the present. You may not relate to your signs because you have matured past their basic sign meanings.
