The Pattern Finder: Noticing What Repeats Before You Try to Explain It
When people start engaging more deeply with astrology or self-reflection, overwhelm doesn’t usually come from a lack of insight. More often, it comes from having too much information without a clear way to organise it.
You might recognise the feeling. You’ve done therapy, journaling, reading, or inner work. You’ve noticed patterns in relationships, work, motivation, or emotional responses. And yet, when you try to make sense of how it all fits together, things can start to feel noisy or fragmented rather than clarifying.
This is where many people turn to astrology, and where the same overwhelm can quietly repeat itself.
Before interpretation becomes useful, there’s an earlier step that often gets skipped: learning to notice what actually repeats.
Patterns don’t usually announce themselves dramatically. They show up quietly across different areas of life; similar questions resurfacing, familiar dynamics playing out in new forms, energy flowing easily in some directions and draining quickly in others. These repetitions aren’t problems to fix; they’re organising themes.
The Pattern Finder is a short reflection exercise I created to help with exactly this stage.
It isn’t designed to teach astrology or analyse a birth chart. Instead, it helps you step back and identify the themes that already structure your experience before you try to explain them, interpret them, or place them within a larger framework.
Many people find that simply writing these patterns down brings an unexpected sense of clarity. Not because everything suddenly makes sense, but because what matters most begins to stand out from the background noise.
If you’re someone who is curious, reflective, and interested in understanding yourself more deeply (especially if you find astrology intriguing but overwhelming) this kind of orientation can be a valuable starting point.

There’s no right way to move through it, and no expectation of conclusions. It’s simply a way of noticing what repeats, and what that repetition might be asking for your attention.
