There’s no shortage of gurus and coaches all ready to help you “find your purpose.” Sure, it’s a buzzword, but it’s also one of our deepest human needs—to feel like our life means something.

We want to know we made an impact, left our mark, that we matter. It’s nothing new. Humans have been on this meaning finding mission forever, using everything from mythology to personality tests to figure out who we are and why we’re here.

But your purpose isn’t some hidden treasure you have to dig for or a rite of passage you need to complete. It’s written in the stars. 

A simple lesson in astrology. 
Astrology isn't just woo-woo. It’s grounded in some serious science—stars, planets, math—it’s all there. It’s about energy. And everything is energy—including us and everything we can see or touch. Even matter is 99% empty space, held together by energetic bonds. And here’s the coolest part: we’re literally made of stardust. 

The elements that make up your body, like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and iron, were created in stars through nuclear fusion. When these stars reached the end of their life cycles, they exploded, scattering these elements across space. Over billions of years, this stardust eventually came together to form the planets, including Earth—and all of us.

So, since we’re literally made of stardust, it makes sense that the stars have a little something to say about us, right? 

The magic of your birth chart. 
Astrology is the universe’s way of showing how the energy of the stars and planets shape who we are. Picture this: over 2,000 years ago, people started giving names to constellations, snapping sky selfies (birth charts) to capture the exact moment we are born. Even the OG wise men (yes, the three wise men) were into celestial navigation—literally following a star to do their thing.

What makes your chart even more special is that it won’t repeat for another 25,000 years—proof that there is no other soul on Earth quite like you.

Your north node is your purpose. 
Science agrees—having a sense of purpose is a major key to our happiness and well-being. But your purpose isn’t some boring checklist—it’s a full on vibe. Your north node represents the qualities you’re ready to embrace as you step into the most confident version of you. It’s not about the end goal—it’s about hitting refresh and embracing what feels truly authentic to you. The universe rewards authenticity, and yes, there’s even physics to back this up (you know I checked). 

Your north node is all about how you show up in the world, the energy you bring to the table, and the themes that define your life. Spoiler alert: your purpose is not about hitting milestones like writing a bestseller, raising the perfect kids, or making millions. (Sorry, society and overachieving parents.) Those are just some perks when you’re on the path that’s meant for you. 

So yeah, your north node might not tell you how to win the lottery, but it will help you figure out why you’re here—and that’s way more valuable.

Your south node is the old you.
Your south node is your comfort zone—the stuff that comes so naturally, you could do it in your sleep. These are the qualities you’ve been rocking for years, but here’s the catch: it’s time to level up. 

When we keep doing the same thing over and over, we plateau—and that’s when life starts to feel a little meh. We’re humans, not robots, right? Life is meant to be an evolution, not a stagnant routine. Your purpose is about stepping into your power and embracing your unique gifts. When you do that, you naturally inspire others to do the same. So, instead of staying stuck in what’s familiar—and kinda boring—it's time to break free and follow what truly lights you up, no matter who’s watching.
