What are some ways that Melanie uses Astrology to reveal patterns?

AstroBodies™
by Melanie Gurley of Beautiful Astrology

Melanie has created a system that transfers information from the natal chart onto a figure. Each drawing is completely unique to that person, just like their birth chart.*

*It is the extremely rare exception that two persons might have exactly matching natal charts; even twins often have charts that are just different enough to express at slightly different times, and might even change entirely, depending on the timing.

How can AstroBodies™ enhance or support me in my life?
What good are they?
Why would I get one?
What do they even mean?!

AstroBodies™ reveal patterns,

are beautiful to regard, and

can help us to understand energies at play in our lives.

See people's energies, understand how a transit is affecting someone, track energetic patterns through families, decide on your next tattoo placement, visualize connections with other people, honor your ancestors or your heroes...

These are just a few of the ways AstroBodies™ work for you.

My First Astro Memory

I vividly remember pulling the thin, white, hardback book off of the lower shelves in the youth section of my local city library sometime back in grade school - probably the upper grades. The image of the Virgo so solid and clear, the colors vibrant. The symbol even looked like it said "Me" and that's also how you begin my name, so it was easy enough to remember. I don't recall if I looked it up on purpose (what would have prompted me to do so?) or if I just stumbled upon it. Either way, what I do remember is the feeling I had of "Ah! There!" -as of a eureka moment- and the further fascination I had as I cracked the seldom-opened book ajar to peek inside. I don't even remember what was in there, really. But the moment of finding the book, seeing the image and the glyph, and the sense of wonder and recognition I felt has never left me.
