Understanding Yourself, Allowing Your Quirks, and Becoming Unapologetically You
I’ve always believed that self-inquiry can be a portal. Sometimes that portal is meditation. Sometimes it’s heartbreak. Sometimes it’s travel, long and lonely and bewildering. But recently, it came in the form of something unexpected:
Running my astrological birth chart and my human design through ChatGPT.
And wow — it was eye-opening.
Not because it told me anything new, exactly.
But because it reflected back the things I always knew, the parts of myself I hadn’t fully claimed, the quirks I’ve spent years trying to polish away.
It made me feel seen, understood, and wildly unapologetic about my next moves.
And it reminded me of something important:
Sometimes we need a mirror that speaks in symbols to recognise the truth we’ve been carrying all along.
This isn’t about believing in every modality with blind devotion.
It’s about using these systems - astrology, human design, archetypes, whatever resonates - as tools of remembrance.
Tools that whisper:
“You are allowed to be exactly who you are.”
Why These Systems Matter (and Why They Don’t)
Astrology and Human Design don’t define us.
But they can free us.
They give language to the things we feel but struggle to articulate.
They name the ways we move through the world - the contradictions, the strengths, the sensitivities, the rhythms that make us who we are.
And when we see ourselves clearly, we stop fighting our natural ways of being.
We start honouring them.
For me, the revelations came through the synthesis - astrology meeting design, logic meeting intuition, the cosmic blueprint merging with the energetic one.
What I received back was a map of the very things I’ve lived my entire life.
A reminder that none of my quirks are flaws.
They are patterns.
They are pathways.
They are the ways my soul communicates.
The Blueprint That Reflected Me Back
Here’s what came through in my integrated reading - not as rigid truth, but as permission.
I’m a 3/6 Generator: The Alchemist Mentor
A life path built on experience, trial, error, curiosity, and reinvention.
A body-led way of learning.
A future of quiet wisdom that grows with age.
My astrology had always hinted at the same things:
-
Virgo Sun — mastery, devotion, refinement
-
Gemini Rising — communication, teaching, guiding
-
Jupiter in Pisces — spiritual purpose
-
North Node in Gemini — the teacher
-
Mars in Capricorn — depth, embodiment, resilience
Human Design simply mirrored it:
I’m here to do what lights me up — and in doing that, I light others up.
I Make Decisions Through Emotional Clarity
Not by rushing.
Not by forcing.
Not through logic.
But by letting the emotional wave settle.
By waiting for the still point.
This also explained every time I had pushed ahead too fast and felt exhausted by my own urgency.
My Profile — 3/6 — Is Lived Wisdom
I learn by living.
I teach by embodying.
I grow into wisdom over time.
It describes my entire thirties and everything I feel myself stepping into now: a grounded, gentle kind of leadership that comes from being human first and a guide second.
My Centres Speak of Embodiment, Depth and Intuition
Defined:
- Sacral
- Solar Plexus
- G
- Throat
- Spleen
- Root
Undefined:
- Ajna
- Crown
- Heart
It was almost poetic how this mirrored my chart:
-
Virgo and Capricorn grounding
-
Pisces and Scorpio depth
-
Aries instinct
-
Gemini expression
-
Libra communication
A design built for intuition, emotional truth, and embodied guidance. And although this language and these systems are entirely new to me, curiosity comes easily.
The Biggest Realisation
My astrology and my human design weren’t telling me who to be.
They were telling me to stop overriding who I already am.
To stop trying to tidy my instincts
or silence my intuition
or fix the softness
or push through the emotional wave
or shrink the part of me that learns by doing
and failing
and rising.
They reminded me:
You are not here to initiate your life.
You are here to respond to what lights you up.
You are here to alchemise experience into wisdom.
You lead simply by living deeply and honestly.
That felt like exhaling after years of holding my breath.
Why I’m Sharing This
Not because my blueprint is special.
But because we all have one.
And so many of us spend our lives trying to outgrow what we’re actually here to grow into.
We try to be consistent when we’re meant to be fluid.
We try to be logical when we’re meant to feel.
We try to be fast when we’re meant to move in rhythms.
We try to be certain when we’re meant to experiment.
We try to be everything when we’re meant to be ourselves.
Astrology and Human Design don’t give us answers.
They give us context.
They give us language.
They give us permission.
And sometimes that’s all we need to finally stop fighting our quirks and start embracing them as the compass points they’ve always been.
An Invitation for you
If you feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step -maybe it’s not that you don’t know. Maybe you haven’t yet been shown a framework that honours the way you naturally move.
So here’s my invitation:
Let yourself be seen.
Explore your chart.
Explore your design.
Or explore whatever resonates.
Not to define yourself.
But to remember yourself.
Because the moment you recognise your own blueprint - the moment something inside you whispers yes, that’s me - is the moment everything starts to make sense.
It’s the moment you soften.
The moment you stop forcing.
The moment you begin moving toward your life instead of away from it.
And maybe even the moment you become, unapologetically,
you.
