Celestial Self-Care: An Astrological Guide for Women’s Wellness

It’s Time to Feel Empowered

celestial self-care coverWe’re so excited to share something we’ve been pouring our hearts into: Celestial Self-Care — a thoroughly designed wellness guide that invites you to reconnect with your natural rhythm and cosmic wisdom.

I’m one of the authors and astrologers behind this book, and together with Roshni Sharma-Fleming and Jennie Date — two extraordinary women and dear collaborators — we created Celestial Self-Care as an empowering companion for women who want to live in tune with the cosmos, natural cycles, and their bodies.

After an intense phase of passionate work, deep conversations, and extended writing sessions, we’re thrilled to be launching this project just in time for Mother’s Day — because what better time to celebrate the sacred art of care, nourishment, and feminine wisdom?

What’s Inside the Book?

Celestial Self-Care is a transformative guide that blends astrology, energy healing, holistic wellness, and practical exercises. It’s designed to help you feel more grounded, clear, and connected — every season, every cycle, every transit.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

  • How your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs shape your willpower, wellness needs, and interaction with the world.
  • Harness the power of your energetic blueprint: elements, modalities, polarities.
  • Align with the quality of time instead of swimming upstream.
  • Apply practices to deepen compassion for yourself and others— for your own healing and for more authentic relationships.

Whether you’re a total astrology newbie or a seasoned stargazer, this book will meet you where you are — and guide you into deeper connection with yourself.

Roshni Sharma-Fleming – Reiki Master, intuitive healer, and founder of StillFire Healing Inc., devoted to self-love and foundational wellness.

Astrology and Women’s Wellness

Leftover notes from our last podcast episode

At the Astrological Integration podcast, my podcast partner Roshni Sharma Fleming and I casually talk about topics that combine healing and astrology and besides agreeing on some talking points we never really know where it’s going which makes it so genuine.  

Last month, we were joined by the lovely Sharon Ann Rose for our episode on Female Wellness and you can listen to it here.

In preparation though, I do research the topics and I have some leftover notes that would have burst our time frame last month.  I don’t want to withhold these as they may be useful for astrologically inclined readers.

Our birthchart holds valuable information about how we live out our feminine side, including our capacity to love, our needs in love, who and what we tend to attract, our emotional side, sense of safety, and motherhood, as well as information about health and wellness. 

Venus and the Moon are associated with women in general, but also with the above key factors that (except motherhood) equally apply to men’s birthcharts.

However, the spotlight is on women’s wellness today and the following are some astrological factors that provide valuable information about the mental, emotional, and bodily condition of a woman when interpreted by sign and house, and in aspect with other points and planets in the chart.

Personality

Women and the Asteroids:

  • Chiron: Herbalist, teacher; one’s master wound that can serve as a catalyst for healing others
  • Ceres: Matriarch, Mother Earth, the Crone, caretaker; nourishing
  • Juno: The married woman, wife
  • Pallas Athena: The brave daughter; powerful, industrious, independent
  • Vesta: Late marriage, the initiated; pure, fiery

The Elements

  • Fire: Action-driven, fast, bold, honest
  • Earth: Slow & methodical, sensual, loyal
  • Air: Social, mental, talkative, witty
  • Water: Empathic, emotional, caring

Modalities

  • Cardinal: Do-er, action-driven, taking initiative
  • Fixed: Likes to maintain status quo, doesn’t like change
  • Mutable: Flexible, adaptable

Temperament (Humoral Theory)

  • Sanguine (Air)
  • Choleric (Fire)
  • Phlegmatic (Water)
  • Melancholic (Earth)

Temperament/body type (Ayurvedic Doshas)

  • Vata (Air)
  • Pitta (Fire)
  • Kapha (Water/Earth)

The Body

1st-6th

1st House (Ascendant) = The body, the Self, individuality.

6th house = Health-related habits, service to body

Arabic Parts (or Lots)

fortune and spirit glyps
Fortune and Spirit glyphs

These are calculated points involving the Ascendant and a planet.  Fortune (Lunar) signifies bodily wellbeing and Good Luck, while Spirit (Solar) is more mental and action-oriented. Other lots can be calculated, such as Sickness, Energy, Sex, Cancer, Surgery, Death, Harmony, Marriage, etc.)

 

Planetary rulership and the body (Tucker, UK, 1896 – 1981)

zodiac and body

  • Sun: Heart
  • Moon: Glands, lymphatic system, breasts, stomach
  • Mercury: Brain, nervous system, lungs, locomotion, arms, hands
  • Venus: Kidneys
  • Mars: Muscles, head, eyes
  • Jupiter: Liver, pancreas, thighs
  • Saturn: Bones, teeth, skin
  • Uranus: Parasympathetic nervous system, psychosomatic diseases
  • Neptune: Poisons
  • Pluto: Reproductive organs (not mentioned by Tucker)

Dis-ease & sickness

You can calculate a Decumbiture chart for the moment when you feel that you are getting sick (Horary chart for when one gives in, lays down). Nicholas Culpeper (1616 – 1654) developed a Moon crisis technique.  He looked at the Moon’s transit over the Decumbiture chart for timing the start of therapy or cure. Culpeper was a Botanist, Physician, and Astrologer; and the author of Astrological Judgement of Diseases.  In a Decumbiture chart, Saturn and the 8th house traditionally represent death.  Mars means more acute issues while Saturn signifies chronic health challenges.

Iatromancy is another (non-astrological) form of judging disease that is performed by a Physician-Seer (shaman).
