As a busy mum, I felt tired, frazzled and like something was missing.
The kids were finally at school. I had a bit more space in my day. But instead of feeling rested or free, I felt… off. Like something was missing. It was a quiet ache, the kind you can’t quite explain. I kept asking myself, Is this it? Is this who I am now?
I know I’m not the only one who’s felt that.
Motherhood is beautiful and consuming, and somewhere along the way, your identity can start to blur. You pour so much of yourself into others, you forget how to pour back into yourself. And when the noise settles, the silence can feel unsettling. That’s when the questions start. Who am I beyond being a mum? Where did my spark go?
Discovering astrology to reconnect.
Not in a ‘predict the future’ kind of way, but in a help me make sense of myself kind of way. It was through my birth chart that I started to see myself clearly again. Not just the roles I’d been playing, mother, wife, caregiver, but the deeper parts. The parts I hadn’t touched in years.
My Moon sign reminded me of what I need to feel emotionally fulfilled. My Rising sign reflected how I naturally move through the world. And my North Node? That revealed where I was meant to grow, even when it felt uncomfortable.
The biggest gift astrology gave me wasn’t answers, it was understanding.
I realised I wasn’t broken. I was just evolving.
And that lost feeling? It was a signal. A soul nudge. An invitation to reconnect with who I’ve always been beneath the roles and routines.
For me, astrology has been an important way to connect the sky to my everyday life. I found purpose and understanding in my life again.
How Astrology can help you in motherhood.
So, if you’re in that in-between space, post-baby, in the thick of mum-life, questioning what’s next, please know you’re not alone. You’re not failing. You’re unfolding.
My hope is to guide you on your own journey of self-discovery, helping you make sense of your path through the wisdom of astrology. And your chart might hold the clarity you’ve been searching for.
