Camille’s Astrology Insight:

The 10 planets, briefly described:

• Venus: love language, what you value, money
• Mars: courageousness, your drive, anger, sexuality
• Jupiter: philosophy, astrology, high mind, blessings, where you grow with ease

Ease and Growth – found in your birth chart

• For Ease look to: Jupiter (things that come naturally) and Venus (creature comforts, love, compassion) and your Moon sign (our comforts and what we need)
• For Growth areas look to: Saturn (things that will challenge you) and Mercury (intellectually and learning and communicating more)

Tactical Tips Camille Gives to integrate Astrology into our life

1. Using a moon journal so that every time there is a new moon or full moon, you track of what has started or ended around that time
2. Journal to keep track meh times and also big cosmic synchronicities that may happen
   1. Journaling helps you look back and see patterns in your life
3. Use Apps (linked above)
4. Use astrology to look at important days, birthdays, halfway to birthdays, and to help explain anytime you may be feeling a weird mood
