How Ancestral Astrology & Astrocartography came into my life

Your Natal Chart is an Inherited Gift

When I became pregnant with my first son, I was a bag of mixed emotions. I was ecstatic to be bringing a child into this world, but as a person who had suffered from epileptic seizures, I was very nervous about the entire process. Fortunately the high risk pregnancy went just fine, except for a couple of nerve wracking mishaps during my son’s delivery. And at the start of my Saturn return, I gave birth to a beautiful 9 pound baby boy with a full head of thick jet black hair. I gave birth to my first born son on not only the same date as my father, but also the same time. They share five of the same planetary placements. This shook me up in ways I had not expected, and brought me back full force into one of my first loves in life, astrology. Jennifer here, and I want to help you to discover something I feel passionate and driven to share, that you can connect with your ancestors through your Birth Chart, as well as your Astrocartography map, and that their stories are written intricately within your birth chart, and reflected in the map that is uniquely specific to you. I come from a complicated cross cultural upbringing and Astrology and Astrocartography have helped me on a very deep level to work through and make sense of so many things in my life.

Hey you gorgeous soul on your incredible evolutionary journey through time and space – did you know that you can connect with your karmic & ancestral stories through your Birth Chart & Astrocartography Map?

Both of my sons inherited my Mars in Leo, but my second son inherited the same exact degree of 15 Mars in Leo. Considering there are 360 degrees in the zodiac, the mathematical probability of this is rather small. When I began my research into this with my own family there was not a single aspect of my children’s birth charts that could not be traced back to a close ancestor somewhere. Then when I began offering client readings for families, it became even more jarringly apparent. There were patterns, the birth chart holds a sort of genetic code. If our birth charts are essentially the full story of us, our soul’s ‘blueprint’ as many astrologers have increasingly referred to it over the years, then why wouldn’t it hold our ancestry? There is also a story within your chart and reflected on your maps that can give details as to the potential stories of lives you have lived before. Unfolding on the map a sort of soul compass, helping you to go forth into new territory on the globe in order to do incredible things. It can be a powerful healing tool to understand how the ancestral or karmic voice can resonate through both your chart and map in order to help you clear out past pain and make room for your destiny within this lifetime. The Moon in our charts represents our mother. The Moon IC line on our maps can also hold a maternal connection. My oldest son has his Moon IC line running through the exact area of Brazil where I hold ancestry. (Download my IC Lines Guidebook if you are interested in more information on this phenomena) This prompted me to begin more research in this area and I found that our maps also hold our important ancestral places as well.

With Mercury and Chiron in Cancer on my Midheaven, ruled by my Scorpio Moon, we will go deep into the family and ancestral stories that live within your birth chart. I will hold space and provide a safe, and calming atmosphere where you can discharge the difficulties that may be associated with your upbringing, your family, or the locations that are connected to your family, so that you may move forward with your greatest potential in this life. This is powerful stuff and I look forward to connecting with you. When we locate your family within your birth chart, we can also find the tools needed to heal the wounds that accompany your family story.
