I might not want to apply for jobs, but I like the feeling of structure and accomplishment that comes from being employed.

(And money. That's also something I would like.)

Using Astrology For Confidence: Part One of my Confidence Series! 

- This post will focus on insights for short-term confidence: Look at your ascendant sign for this post. - Part 2 will be for long-term confidence: Look at your north node sign. Coming soon! - Part 3 will be for implementing confidence: Look at your Mars and House placement. Coming soon!

If you're feeling low on confidence - looking deeper into your natal chart can give you insight in how to access confidence that is already inside you! Astrology can help us uncover our confidence - in the short and long-term, and the tools in which to implement confidence.

For short-term confidence, look at your ascendant sign. The ascendant sign is the part of our personality that we are, often, most easily able to express to the world - especially on first meetings. Tune in to a burst of confidence by tuning into the energy of your ascendant sign if you need some short-term help.

To write this insight, I have taken inspiration from the 7 chakras and their correspondence to the 12 signs. Remember to save or share these, and keep them near you for when you need that lil juice boost!

For short-term confidence, you can:

Aries Ascendant: Channel with the affirmation: "I do things with enthusiasm and exuberance". Change your mindset of feeling ashamed of your initial bold reactions, and focus on the bold energy you bring to the table. Embrace it because people need bold energy.

Taurus Ascendant: Channel with the affirmation: "I feel secure internally and externally". Remember that whatever you need, you have within you. - and can access at anytime you need to. Firstly, think of a happy memory or thought and whenever you feel nervous - remember and feel this happy thought.

Gemini Ascendant: Channel with the affirmation: "I speak honestly and harmoniously". This will help you with word-jumbles and anxiety around saying the wrong thing. It will help to calm your racing thoughts if you feel nervous.

Cancer Ascendant: Channel with the affirmation: "I love the light and understand the dark in people". This will help with shyness as you are now focusing on the (sometimes messy) human condition - it will help to reiterate to you that the people you are nervous of are just humans, and that they have faults and strengths. In turn, helping you to feel more at ease with your strengths and faults.

Leo Ascendant: Channel with the affirmation: "I view the world with understanding” this helps with your Cancer in 12th House as with this affirmation, you can slowly let down your walls with the understanding that others can understand you and make you feel safe. 

Virgo Ascendant: Channel with the affirmation: “I speak knowing I am truly confident in my soul and skills”. This helps with your Leo in the 12th house as you may shy away from the spotlight to help refuel and re-energise you. This affirmation can help you to showcase your more dominant qualities - something that normally you hide or express alone.

Libra Ascendant: “I feel confident in my ability to do things”. Sometimes, with this placement, you can feel that other’s ideas, opinions or thoughts are ‘better’ and deserve more respect than your own. With this affirmation, it can help you connect with your independence and listening to what your heart and inner voice is saying, even if you are scared that the responses are different to yours. It will help alleviate the inclination to act how others are doing, and help you to reconnect with what you want to say or do. 

Scorpio Ascendant: “I feel safe to express myself”. This can help you with channelling your personal power at the healthiest level. Power is important to everyone, but especially Scorpio Ascendants! When you feel safe to express yourself, you act in relation to your highest self - which can only produce good results. 

Sagittarius Ascendant: “I see the unknown with light”. Sagittarius Ascendants may feel stuck when at crossroads, and struggle to make important decisions. This affirmation will help you when you feel unease at those crossroad moments, and give you the confidence to know that whatever comes your way, you have the ability to deal with it. 

Capricorn Ascendant: “I am able to give myself radical compassion”. With this affirmation, it can help the Capricorn Ascendant feel comfortable when they feel they have made a mistake. The ability to allow yourself radical compassion gives you the confidence and grace to deal with mistakes that are sometimes, inevitable. 

Aquarius Ascendant: “There is space for me in every room of life”. The 11th House rules Aquarius, and then community and belonging, and often, a source of pain for these ascendants is loneliness and rejection from others. This affirmation you can use when you feel this way, knowing that you deserve to have a space in every ‘room’ you step into. 

Pisces Ascendant: “I understand and accept every part of myself”. Pisces Ascendants often feel scared of their shadow side. Imagine a deep, murky ocean - most people would feel scared to dive deeper. It is okay to accept your shadow side for what it is - just a shadow side. The fact that you aware that you (and everyone) has shadows - can help you to accept and understand that human beings are complex creatures. There is no reason to feel ashamed.

Thank you for reading!

Even if it’s just a snack, eating food at regular intervals is very important!

Eat some apple slices, a tangerine, a slice of bread with butter, some toast, or a cup of strawberries. Anything you want, just so long as you eat something.
