When the World Gets Loud, Astrology Brings Me Back Home

The world can be noisy.

Not just sound-noisy, but emotionally overwhelming. It can feel like there is so much energy, expectation, and pressure in the air that it is hard to stay connected to what you actually want or need.

On days like that, it is easy to get pulled away from yourself.

Over the years, I have found ways to come home to myself. One of the most powerful? Astrology, not as a way to predict what is coming, but as a tool to strengthen my own inner trust.

As I shared on my podcast Healers With Humor Season 2 Episode 3, I added myself as my "partner" in the Pattern app. I did this to help me gain a deeper perspective about myself and a different way to look at "me". Each morning, I take a few moments to check in with The Pattern app. It offers just enough perspective to help me sense where I am emotionally and energetically without creating noise or confusion.

Recently, the reflection was connected to my Mars in Virgo placement. Here is what it said:
"Candice can be critical or even obsessive, someone who notices subtle details and rarely misses a thing. Candice does not always feel comfortable sharing her unique perspective with the world."

The part about being critical felt familiar. That piece of me, originally a sharp inner voice has softened over time as I have done intentional healing work around it.

What caught me off guard this particular day was the other part:
"She does not always feel comfortable sharing her perspective with the world."

I sat with this, went into meditation, asked my guides for clarity around this and used my intuition to understand this is the space that needs my attention.

Astrology does not give me final answers about who I am.

It gives me a mirror. It offers places to pause, reflect, and go deeper into my intuition with compassion instead of judgment.

Instead of assigning a label or wearing my chart like a personality test result, I use it to reveal where something inside me wants to be acknowledged.

Not feeling fully comfortable sharing my perspective tells me there are old stories about visibility, voice, and safety that need my care.

It invites me toward shadow work, deeper energy healing, and even new possibilities about who I am becoming.
