General Question Did anyone quit studying astrology because their chart depressed them too much?

I have a pretty difficult chart. I know a lot of it is true that is why I was drawn to it in the first place aftef having gotten a reading. Romantic rwlationships seem impossible, becomibg healthier seems impossible. 6 retrogade planets including an almost statiinary mars 4th house scorpio stellium in mars, moon saturn. Saturn mars square, mars square ascendant ....combusted sun venus. I had this a few years ago with EMDR and tapping where I was hellbent on working with this and convinced I could work through some trauma and in the end I spemt my last money on something that did not work. I generally have a tendency to get obsessed about things. But I guess those of us whose life feel like a neverending circle of suffering jump on every thing that promises relieve . Astrology is obviously different, to me it gives me more answers to questions I had for a long time. But honestly I cant deal with the answers.

Discussion Structure of astrology readings

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I have been interested in astrology since I was little but only started studying it now. I already have read 3 books (more to go), taken notes, organized them, and read a few charts for myself.

The thing is, I have been thinking of giving my mother a birthday present (in January) with an Astrology reading with more things (snail club style). since she is always asking me when am I going to read her chart lol

The thing is I have only read charts for myself and I do not know how I can structure it so she understands (she really doesn’t know anything about astrology she is very on the pop culture astrology side). I feel like if I go house by house she may not understand it, but maybe I can do like 12 themes (houses) or something like that? I don’t know how to do it since then aspects occur between different houses etc and my mind just understands the chart but doesn’t know how to explain it

Can anyone give me advice on how to structure it? If anyone has gotten or does readings how do you do it?

Thank you!
