My Co-Star


If you don't already follow Kerri's blog, or her Instagram, you need to be.

On her IG story she has been posting screenshots of notifications from an app called Co-Star.  I had to look it up because it seemed interesting.  It's basically personalized horoscopes.

"Unlike the broad and vague horoscopes you usually read in magazines, we take more than just your sun sign into account. We use a complete picture of the sky when and where you were born to generate hyper-personalizated horoscopes."

  Of course it isn't available for Android yet & I don't live the iPhone life.  If you do live the iPhone life you can download the app.  If you're like me & live the Android life, the app is coming!  Until then however, you can still get your personalized natal chart & then weekly personalized horoscopes sent to your email every Monday.

I'm usually not really into horoscopes for anything serious because they are so general & could apply to pretty much anyone at any point in time.  However, I wanted to see what my natal chart said about me & to see just how accurate I felt it was.  I think what it says about me is pretty accurate.  

The following probably won't be very interesting to anybody but me, since it's just about me, but here is my natal chart.


Sun in Scorpio
The sun determines your ego, identity, & "role" in life.  It's the core of who you are, & is the sign you're most likely to already know.  Your Sun is in Scorpio, meaning you have a fundamental urge to get to the bottom of things, which can at times lead you to be manipulative or power-hungry, but it comes down to an intense passion for authenticity, real intimacy, & the truth.  It's in your eleventh house, meaning you feel the need to distinguish yourself from others through social status, including platonic & casual friends, along with your hopes, wishes, & dreams.

Ascendant in Sagittarius
Your ascendant is the "mask" you present to people.  It can be seen in your personal style & how you come off to people when you first meet.  Some say it becomes less relevant as you get older.  It changes every two hours, so if it doesn't make sense, text your mom to confirm your birth time.  Your Ascendant is in Sagittarius, meaning you come across as independent, optimistic, & confident, though sometimes overly blunt or critical.  Generally a charming conversationalist, your free-spirited approach may come off as restless or easily bored.

Moon in Aries
The moon rules your emotions, moods, & feelings.  This is likely the sign you most think of yourself as, since it reflects your personality when you're alone or deeply comfortable.  Your moon is in Aries, meaning your emotional self is independent, energetic, & enthusiasticYou have a tendency to feel inadequate & overcompensate just because failure is a possibility.  It's in your fourth house, meaning you find security & safety through your home & family.

Venus in Virgo
Venus determines how & what you love.  It indicates how you express affection & the qualities you're attracted to.  Your Venus is in Virgo, meaning your romantic side is hyper-analytical -- you over-analyze everything & will hide your feelings until you feel absolutely certain.  You can be a bit nitpicky & controlling, but it comes out of the thoughtfulness & care for the other.  It's in your ninth house, meaning that for you, love is often expressed in philosophy, faith, education, politics, & travel.

Mars in Aries
Mars is the planet of aggression.  It determines how you assert yourself, take action, & the energy that surrounds you -- particularly in your sex life, your ambitiousness, & when you're angry.  Your Mars is in Aries, meaning you assert yourself in a way that is to the point & impulsive.  You love to make things happen & you push things forward with energy & enthusiasm.  You have a short temper, but are quick to forgive.  The bravest sign of the zodiac.  It's in your fourth house, meaning you put a lot of energy into your home & family.
