How to Use Astrology in Your Daily Life - Step 2 - Learn How to Feel Energy
Mar 23, 2023In Step 1 you learned about yourself and expanded your consciousness.
Step 2 illuminates the specific energetic environment, what we could call the field of collective consciousness, we move through daily and what tools, opportunities and possible roadblocks will be in that environment for you to take advantage of or avoid.
After you are born, the planets keep moving. Daily horoscopes are based on where the planets are located on a particular day. The synthesis of the planets’ positions on any given day creates a particular energetic field that I equate to a landscape. One day might feel like being in a desert. The next a jungle. The next in the mountains on a cold snowy day.
Using daily horoscopes is the same as checking the weather and looking at the terrain maps to prepare to hike in one of these environments. Each environment requires different clothing, tools and survival skills. There are optimal times of the year to hike in these environments and other times where you would be miserable or possibly risking your life to make the hike.
You will read about the quality of energy the collective will generally experience and what areas of collective life will be affected on that day. The energetic environment could make you feel agitated, at ease, fired up, stimulated, blissful, confident, crazy, social, tired, restless, etc.
How the daily energetic field affects you personally depends on how the energetic field interacts with your unique Natal Birth Chart, which is why you need to learn your own chart first. More on this topic in Step 3.
If you enjoy following collective daily/weekly/monthly horoscopes, I highly recommend following an astrologer who talks about the whole chart, meaning all of the planets. Stay away from astrologers who only talk about one planet at a time or whose advice is overly simple and broad. Those horoscopes don’t give the whole picture and often leave out crucial information.
Many people think astrology is BS because they’ve only been exposed to poorly written horoscopes and have zero understanding of the foundations of astrology. Great astrologers give specific advice on how to apply the wisdom practically and show real world examples of how the energy is being expressed in world events.
If you want to learn how to read charts yourself, I recommend following collective horoscopes because it is a great way to start learning the lingo and observing how to synthesize a whole chart.

When you get really good at reading charts (or following daily horoscopes) and noticing the effect of the energy on the collective, you will start to feel the energetic shifts as the planets move. You won’t always need to read the daily chart because you will be able to feel the energy.
This is a very similar process to becoming a high level musician. Some of you might know that I am a professional classical musician. I play the bassoon and still perform and teach music lessons.
In music, Step 1 is learning the notes and rhythms of a piece. In astrology, Step 1 is learning to explain the elements of a chart. This is the Left Brain, Masculine, Logical side of music and astrology.
Step 2 in music is developing your internal sense of rhythm, musicality and sensitive hearing. You don’t mentally think your way through playing a difficult rhythmic piece or mentally craft musicality. You feel it. Inherently. And get into a flow state with the energy as you play, allowing the energy to flow through you.
In astrology, the equivalent is being able to feel the energy on a particular day. How you RESPOND to the energy is your choice. On some days you will be able to utilize the energy in your endeavors. Ride the energetic wave. Flow with the energy.
However, on some days you may need to choose activities to counter or neutralize the energy if it’s affecting you negatively.
Feeling energy is the Right Brain, Feminine, Creative side of astrology and music.
The average person who hasn’t played music for long has a hard time staying in time and playing complex rhythms because they don’t feel the music yet. They might not even realize they are slightly ahead or behind the ensemble. Also, they won’t be able to hear if one section of the orchestra is slightly out of tune.
These two scenarios demonstrate how this person hasn’t developed two of their internal senses yet. Just because they can’t feel the music or hear the details doesn’t mean the discrepancies don’t exist.
Someone who is new to this work won’t be able to feel energy right away. It is a sense you have to develop.
Thankfully, we live in a time where energy work is becoming normalized. It is no longer “woo-woo” to meditate, work with a reiki master or see an energy healer when you are sick.
There are many activities you can do to develop the ability to feel energy. Some of my favorites include practicing kundalini yoga, regularly achieving flow state in your favorite activity, learning reiki, learning how to read the chakra centers of yourself and others or…
