There are some memories that have a special place in your psyche.
Moments that feel like a déjà vu when they’re happening, and still feel like a déjà vu when they turn into a memory.
Moments that are puzzle pieces, but you only figure out where they fit later on.
For me most of those memories live hazy in my brain. They feel dreamy. The lighting is always dim and slightly blue.
There are some memories that have a special place in your psyche.
This is one of mine.
It’s the summer I turn 17. I’m in Monaco. I’m in a rare moment of downtime during a ballet summer intensive. Yes, it’s just as grueling and also as romantic as it sounds.
Soft, late afternoon light spills in through an ancient window.
I’m sitting on my friend Quincy’s bunk bed in our dorm room.
I hear the sounds of our other roommates giggling. They’re teaching each other dirty words in each of their own languages. That summer I learned a few flirty phrases in Italian, Russian, and Swedish. I can’t remember any of them now.
But what I do remember is this moment. This memory feels wide, and sparkly. Even though I was holding back tears.
I don’t mean to be cheesy babes, but this is the first time someone read me my birth chart.
And the tears were there because I had never felt so seen. So understood.
Before that I’d been obsessed with reading my daily horoscope from this shitty app (I’ve shared about that here), and my parents actually had my chart done by an epic astrologer when I was born. But I didn’t know anything beyond that my star sign is Cancer.
Quincy pulled up my chart on a website called Astrolabe. It’s super old school. Looks like it was created in the 90s and hasn’t been updated since. (This is not an endorsement for this website lol but have fun with it if you want).
She read off what Astrolabe said about each of my placements, describing to a T my personality, how I see the world, and the things I felt inside but thought no one could see.
My precious, tender, Cancer stellium heart felt validated by the site’s affirmation of my fierce sensitivity. I finally had the words to understand my freedom loving, irreverent side (Aquarius moon). My Virgo Mars type A perfectionist felt called out.
I was absolutely mesmerized.
I felt the truth in astrology. But I didn’t understand the system, and I didn’t know where to look for more info. In the months following I read that website again and again, trying to put the pieces together as best I could.
I think a lot of you are in that place right now. You know your placements. You follow the happenings. You read this Substack. You feel the moons.
But when you show me your co star you’re still pulling up the list, not the circle!!
And not because astrology is beyond your understanding. But because nobody ever explained the architecture underneath.
Astrology is an ancient system.
It has rules. It has structure. It has an internal logic that’s remained relevant for thousands of years, in many many different cultures and contexts.
Astrology resonates so hard because astrology at it’s core is about the human experience.
In our modern day and age, and especially for those of us here who live in cities with so much light pollution, our encounter with astrology can feel disembodied.
We have to imagine the stars.
But for most of human evolution, we had a direct relationship with the sky.
Learning the language of astrology brings us back into relationship.
With the sky, with the earth, with the seasons, with our ancestors, and with the many overlapping and unfolding cycles life holds.
The system of astrology is not random. It’s not made up.
Astrology is the architecture of existence.
As above, so below.

Have we met?
I’m Eden, an astrologer, writer, and pilates + meditation teacher based in NYC.
I came to this work through my own hormone healing journey, and young years as a serious ballet dancer with injuries, mental and physical health struggles, and a dark night of the soul that astrology helped me navigate. The years I spent finding my way back to myself taught me that loving and honoring the body, and anchoring in spirit, is the foundation of everything.
This is why my astrology practice isn’t about predictions. I write reflective horoscopes that ask questions, pointing you inward rather than fixating on imagined futures. I create spaces where transformation isn’t forced, but where it can be felt, trusted, and tended.
Thanks for being here 🌹
