Hi Cipher Seeker,

Ever read an astrology description and thought:

“Well, that kinda fits… but something’s off”?

Starry night sky with glowing Mercury, Moon, Chiron, Neptune, and Uranus glyphs in a soft spiral on a deep indigo background.

You’re not imagining things.
Many astrology placements were initially written for linear thinkers, emotional “norms,” and sensory defaults.

But for neurodivergent minds, placements don’t just describe personality —
They explain patterns.
They reveal processing styles.
They show how your nervous system dances with the stars.

✧ What “Hits Different” Really Means

Take Mercury, for example.
Most interpretations say: “Mercury in Cancer? Emotional thinker.”
But for an ND person, that could mean:

• Speech gets blocked under stress
• Words come in images, not sentences
• Emotional tone changes how they speak — or if they speak at all

That’s not a trait. That’s a communication system.

The same goes for the Moon, Uranus, Neptune, and Chiron.
They don’t just describe “how you feel” — they mirror how you regulate, merge, protect, and heal.
