Look to the stars!
Western Astrology
It's really about understanding the earth's positions in relation to the sun, and the Moon, and the planets and bodies of the solar system and how they energetically impact eachother. Western Astrology is a form of divination based on a horoscope for a specific point in time. The day of birth can often predict life traits, events, struggles, passions, etc. across an entire lifespan. The current positions and movements of the planets in the moment can basically tell you how you may be feeling or how your day may be going to go.
