Astrology + Human Design
Why We Include Astrology + Human Design in Our Rituals
Your birth chart and energy design hold a map to how you move through the world- your rhythms, sensitivities and power.
At SALT + SILK, we don’t use astrology or human design to put you in a box. We use them to offer freedom- gentle, personalized insights that support your nervous system, your relationships and your rituals. We create tools to help you feel more like you.
Our rituals often reference your Sun sign, Rising sign, Moon sign, and Human Design Energy "Type"- because these offer quick, powerful ways to tune your practices to what your body and energy actually need.
This page is here to help you understand what we mean when we reference your Sun, Moon, or Rising sign, or your Human Design Energy type, in our rituals. You don't need to know everything. Start by pulling your charts below, then come back to your ritual with fresh insight.
What These Terms Mean (No Deep Dive Required)
Human Design Type
Your energy type shows how you’re designed to move through life. Are you here to initiate, respond, wait for invitation, or sample life in waves? This gives clues about how to honor your energy, avoid burnout, and create more ease. The five types are
- Generator
- Manifesting Generator
- Manifestor
- Projector
- Reflector
Sun Sign
Your Sun sign reflects your core self- who you are at your center. It’s the steady light you radiate, even if life layers other energies on top.
Moon Sign
Your Moon sign reveals your emotional world, nervous system needs and how you nurture and feel safe. It’s often the part of you that responds before words can.
Rising Sign (Ascendant)
Your Rising sign is the filter you meet the world through- your instinctive approach, your vibe, your first impression. It also sets the tone for your physical body and daily rhythms.
Not Sure Where to Begin?
Start with your Sun sign or Human Design type. They are often the clearest entry points to ritual alignment.
