Eps 051: How to Synthesize your Big 3 – Rising, Sun & Moon

from The Designed Life · host Hollis M. M.

The meaning of what's come to be known as your "Big Three" is a bit illusive, so in tihs episode, I break down how to synthesize your Rising, Sun, and Moon in your natal chart as an entry point to deeper self-understanding.Rather than reducing astrology to personality stereotypes, I reframes these major placements as an energetic blueprint:Rising sign → your motivating life force and trajectorySun sign → your conscious identity and purposeMoon sign → how you nourish yourself so you can sustain it allThis episode is not about prescribing a career path or telling you who you “should” be. Instead, it offers a framework for energetic alignment – helping you understand what propels you, what you identify with, and what truly feeds you so your life feels less chaotic and more whole.I also include a few extra layers for nuance, so you'll learn how to mix in:The ruling planet of each placementThe house it lives inWhere Leo and Cancer fall in the chart (for the Sun and Moon)The companion Substack with visuals and breakdowns can be found here for further integration.Join the Orienting to Spring workshop!Mentioned:Book a reading with meKnow your Moon, know your comfort zoneHow to work with every moonEps 042: How to work with all phases of the moonConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website
