Have you ever wondered if a specific god or goddess has been watching over you—or maybe even walking beside you? Maybe you’ve felt drawn to a certain pantheon, or certain archetypes seem to follow you through your dreams, your playlists, or your spiritual practice.
While some people connect with deities through tradition, visions, or direct spiritual experience, astrology offers another way to explore your divine alignment. Your birth chart, an astrological snapshot of the sky at the exact moment you were born, can hold clues to the mythological energy you naturally resonate with.
And the best part? You don’t have to be an astrology expert to start exploring. Let’s break it down step-by-step.
Connection doesn’t have to mean worship. It can mean resonance, reflection, inspiration, or guidance. Some people refer to these spiritual forces as “patron deities,” while others think of them as archetypes, ancestral symbols, or energy guides.
Your connection might show up as:

In astrology, the planets aren’t just rocks in the sky—they represent key energies in your personality, soul purpose, and emotional life. Many of them are directly named after mythological gods from Greek and Roman traditions, and their placements in your chart can suggest the kinds of divine energies you’re most attuned to.
Let’s take a quick tour through a few major placements to look at when seeking deity connections. And if you find yourself needing help here’s our nifty guide on how to read your birth chart.
Your Sun sign is your main source of identity and self-expression. It often links to heroic or leadership-based deities who embody your life force.
The Moon governs emotion, intuition, and the way you seek comfort. Deities associated with the moon, home, or emotional wisdom may resonate here.
Venus represents how you love and connect, while Mars shows your ambition and passion. Their signs and aspects can reflect divine energies tied to romance, sexuality, and willpower.
These planets point to where you expand and where you’re tested.
In addition to the traditional planets, your chart may include asteroids named after goddesses—like Ceres, Vesta, Pallas Athena, and Juno. Their placements can add nuance to your spiritual archetypes.
Once you’ve identified your key placements, take time to read myths or stories associated with gods and goddesses that feel aligned with those signs or themes. Keep a journal. Light a candle. Reflect on what values or traits those deities hold and how they show up in your own life.

This is about connection, not perfection. There’s no cosmic test or deity “assigned” to you that you have to find. You might feel close to multiple deities across cultures and traditions. That’s okay. Spiritual connection is fluid and deeply personal.
Let yourself be curious. Follow your intuition. What feels like home? What makes you feel powerful, seen, or whole?
The more you explore your chart and your spirit, the more natural these connections will become.
Your birth chart isn’t just a guide, it’s a mirror. The divine you’re looking for might not only be outside you but within. The gods we connect to often reflect the parts of ourselves we are learning to own, heal, or embody.
So whether you’re drawn to fierce protectors, wild tricksters, nurturing mothers, or wise wanderers, remember: their energy lives in you, too.
You’re not just discovering a deity. You’re discovering yourself. Being yourself.
