Redefine Yourself with Astrology: Align with Your Chart, Raise Your Standards, and Stop Feeling Stuck
Raise Your Standards to Main Character Energy and Align With Your Goals
Have you ever looked at your astrology chart, resonated with the descriptions, but still felt lost on how to actually apply it to your life?
Did you know that the Association for Psychological Science concluded that self-perception influences decision-making processes? This means that the way you see yourself isn’t just an abstract concept—it actively shapes your reality. If your self-perception is misaligned, so are your choices. And since astrology is a tool for self-awareness, it can either reinforce limiting beliefs or help you reprogram them for success.
Astrology isn’t just a personality test—it’s a map to alignment, showing you how to live in a way that feels natural and fulfilling. But too often, people see their chart as a list of traits rather than a guide to action. The Association for Psychological Science's study makes it even more important that you understand that, giving you the opportunity to redefine yourself with astrology and choose YOU over anyone else.
I first read about this idea while going through an article titled Fashion Psychology: How Clothes Affect Your Confidence. It made me realize that self-perception isn’t just mental—it’s reflected in everything we do, from how we dress to how we set goals. My mentor and I have been exploring this idea through the lens of personal standards—because the way you define yourself determines what you accept, what you pursue, and what you believe is possible.
Let’s explore how raising your standards can help you align with your goals and transform your self-perception, using astrology as your guide.

Move from astrology awareness to real-life alignment so you can stop feeling like astrology is just a personality analysis and start using it as a practical tool for shaping your decisions and experiences.
Identify where you’re in or out of sync with your chart so you can recognize the areas of life that feel effortless versus the ones where you constantly hit resistance—and take intentional steps toward alignment.
Use your astrology chart to make empowered decisions so you can trust yourself, set better goals, and navigate your personal growth with clarity instead of confusion.
Transform subconscious patterns into conscious action so you can break free from cycles of misalignment and start living in a way that feels natural, fulfilling, and true to who you are.
What Happens When Your Standards Slip
For a long time, I prided myself on having high standards. As a student, I excelled academically and held myself to a standard of authenticity. But over time, I noticed a shift: I started to "coast," taking the easier route and letting my standards slip.
In 2018, everything felt like it spiraled. I had a thriving photography business but found myself falling into a pattern of confusion, burnout, and misalignment. My self-perception had taken a hit, and with it, my ability to make intentional choices.
The result? My standards—for my health, my goals, and even my daily routines—hit an all-time low.
I realized that my misalignment wasn’t random—there were clear patterns in my astrology chart that explained why this phase felt so disorienting. More importantly, my chart also showed me how to get back on track. That’s when I understood that astrology isn’t just about describing who you are—it’s about helping you align with the life you’re meant to live.
Knowing Your Chart vs. Living It - Redefining Yourself Using Astrology
It’s easy to learn about your astrology chart—there’s endless content online explaining your placements, strengths, and challenges- want a recommendation? Check this tool out.
But actually living in alignment with your chart? That’s a whole different game.
Many people stop at awareness—they read about their chart, resonate with it, and maybe even feel validated by what they learn. But validation alone doesn’t create change. If you don’t know how to apply your astrology, you’re still operating from old conditioning, habits, and external expectations—just with new astrological labels attached.
Mic Drop.
Have you ever thought:
"I know my Sun sign, but I still don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing with my life."
"I understand my placements, but I don’t feel any different day-to-day."
"I keep reading about my chart, but nothing is actually changing."
That’s the difference between knowing your chart and actually using it to align your life.
Your astrology chart is a tool for action, not just a description of your personality. It’s not enough to understand your placements—you have to make choices based on them. Otherwise, you’re just collecting self-awareness without ever stepping into the power of your own design.
So how do you bridge the gap? How do you go from knowing your chart to actually living it?
Using Astrology as a Guide to Align Your Life
The answer lies in alignment. Understanding your astrology chart isn’t just about knowing your placements—it’s about living in a way that feels natural, fulfilling, and energetically sustainable.
So, how do you recognize when you’re aligned versus when you’re operating out of sync with your chart? Let’s break it down.
Step 1: Recognizing Alignment vs. Misalignment in Your Life
Living in alignment with your astrology chart doesn’t mean forcing yourself to fit an astrological stereotype. It means noticing where life flows naturally and where it feels like you’re constantly swimming upstream.
Signs you’re aligned with your chart:
You feel energized by your work, relationships, and daily life instead of drained.
Your decisions feel intuitive, and you trust your path instead of second-guessing every step.
You are growing within your strengths rather than struggling to be someone you’re not.
Signs you’re misaligned with your chart:
You feel stuck, unmotivated, or out of place, like something is missing but you can’t pinpoint what.
You keep hitting the same obstacles over and over, no matter how much effort you put in.
You rely on external validation and expectations, even when they don’t feel true to you.
Many people experience this disconnect because they focus on astrology as a description of who they are, rather than a tool for realignment. Your chart doesn’t just explain you—it guides you back to yourself when things feel off.
Step 2: Understanding the Core Areas of Alignment in Your Chart
Your chart has key placements that reveal what alignment looks like for you. Instead of trying to mold yourself into an idealized version of your sign, use these placements to assess where your life feels natural—and where it needs a shift.
Sun – Core Identity & Vitality
Your Sun sign and house represent your energy source—what makes you feel truly alive.
When aligned, you feel confident, purposeful, and engaged.
When misaligned, you feel drained, directionless, or like you’re playing a role that doesn’t fit.
If your Sun feels blocked, explore your elemental balance—are you embracing or neglecting the qualities of your sign? Work with your elements here.
Moon – Emotional Well-Being & Inner Needs
Your Moon sign and house show what makes you feel emotionally safe and nurtured.
When aligned, you feel emotionally stable, at ease, and able to process feelings effectively.
When misaligned, you may ignore your emotions, seek validation from others, or feel emotionally disconnected.
If your Moon feels overlooked, you may be rejecting your own emotional needs in favor of external expectations. Learn how to heal Moon issues through astrology.
Rising Sign – Natural Flow & Approach to Life
Your Rising sign represents how you navigate the world and initiate new experiences.
When aligned, you move through life with ease and confidence because your actions feel natural.
When misaligned, you may feel like you’re constantly forcing things instead of allowing them to unfold.
If you’re struggling with self-expression or feel unseen, your Rising sign may hold the key. Understand why people misunderstand you through astrology.
Midheaven (MC) – Career & Public Life
Your Midheaven (MC) sign and house reveal where you feel most fulfilled in your public role and career.
When aligned, you feel motivated and purposeful in your work.
When misaligned, you may feel lost in your career path or struggle with imposter syndrome.
If you feel directionless or stuck in work that doesn’t inspire you, your MC can reveal a more aligned path.
Step 3: Embodying Your Astrology, Not Just Understanding It
Knowing your placements is one thing—living them is another. Many people get stuck at the awareness phase, collecting self-knowledge without actually applying it.
Alignment comes from embodiment, not just understanding.
If you’re always reading about your chart but not changing anything, ask yourself:
Am I taking action that reflects my Sun sign’s core energy?
Do I make choices that honor my Moon sign’s emotional needs?
Am I allowing my Rising sign’s natural flow to guide me, or am I fighting against it?
🌟 If embodying your chart feels difficult, you may be stuck in old conditioning. Learn how to break free and align with your true self here.
Step 4: Taking Real Action Toward Alignment
Alignment isn’t about waiting for things to magically fall into place—it’s about making choices that reinforce who you actually are.
Here’s how to start integrating your astrology chart into daily life:
Notice what drains vs. energizes you. Your Sun sign will give you clues about what truly fuels you.
Create environments that support your emotional needs. Your Moon sign reveals what feels safe and nourishing.
Practice authenticity in new experiences. Your Rising sign reflects your natural way of moving through the world—lean into it.
Align your goals with your chart. If your Midheaven feels off, reassess your career direction instead of forcing yourself to follow a conventional path.
If you feel out of sync with your life, your astrology chart offers a clear roadmap back to yourself.
Trusting the Process Means Having a Process
In 2021, I started running using the Couch to 5K method. For the first time, I truly understood the phrase, "trust the process." The structured approach to training transformed running from an abstract goal into an actionable reality.
Astrology offers a similar process for life. It helps you:
Map out your energetic cycles so you’re not pushing against resistance or forcing what isn’t ready.
Recognize when to push forward and when to pause based on planetary transits and timing techniques.
Make sustainable choices that align with your natural strengths, rather than constantly working against yourself.
Understanding your astrology chart isn’t about waiting for things to magically happen—it’s about using what you know to make better choices.
Your Perception Shapes Your Reality
The way you see yourself influences every decision you make.
If you perceive yourself as someone who strives for alignment, growth, and self-awareness, you’ll make choices that reflect that vision—aligning your habits, relationships, and goals with who you truly are.
But if you let subconscious fears, outdated conditioning, or limiting beliefs dictate your choices, you’ll continue to manifest experiences that reinforce misalignment.
You are always making choices—whether consciously or unconsciously. The more you align your self-perception with your astrology chart, the more effortlessly you step into your own main character energy.
