How to Be the Main Character in Your Own Life, According to Your Star Sign
MGM / 20th Century Fox
‘Main character energy’ has become a recent trend on social media, and it’s equated to being the protagonist in the film. Basically, it’s a creative way to romanticise your life. It’s also all about celebrating the fact you’re at the centre of your world, and that you have the power to make the most of it.
You can have main character outfits, main character sunglasses, main character lipstick, songs, activities, occasions…
TBH, we’re here for it. We all need a bit of main character confidence as we become reacquainted with our regular social programs, and this social media trend/term is actually quite a useful tool to boost that confidence.
Astrologer and life strategist Kristy Gray agrees.
“In my social media scrolling, the ‘Main character energy’ trend captured my attention,” she tells POPSUGAR AU.
“I found it intriguing, as all of us were trying to embody a better version of ourselves with the extra time on our hands.
“This got me thinking about my work as an astrologer and how I prefer to use astrology as a catalyst for self-empowerment. I started exploring the concept of being the star of your movie with clients — giving them a different lens to view astrology and their natal chart.
“‘Main character energy’ isn’t just reserved for romanticising your life — like taking centre stage. It’s about celebrating your life and you as an active participant in it. And Astrology can help you figure out how to do just that.”
In order to fully celebrate your life, and yourself as its main character, you need to have goals that are specific to you. If you believe in the power of astrology, you’d know that things like your zodiac sign, moon and sun placement and natal chart can help give you a deeper understanding of yourself.
With this knowledge under your belt, surely there’s no reason why you can’t fully embrace your main character energy and be the best version of you this year!?
“In astrology, everything has duality; a high-vibrational state (empowering) and a low vibrational state (disempowering),” Kristy explains.
“Our sun sign’s goal (AKA your star sign) is to lean into the positive qualities also known as the high vibrational state for your sign. If you can start embodying the empowering qualities and traits of your sign this year, anything is possible when it comes to going after your dreams.”
To help us navigate this, Kristy has provided us with a list of all the zodiac signs, their high and low vibrational states and main character energies for 2022.
“Explore your sun sign below and if you know your time of birth, you can also look towards the sign of your ascendant (rising sign) to help you go deeper. Not sure of your ascendant? Cast your natal chart here.”
