Why Am I Here? – Who Am I, Really? – Discover Yourself Through Astrology, Numerology, Human Design & More
As you begin to Awaken, you start to wonder Why am I here and that leads to one of the most profound questions: Who am I really?
It’s more than a surface-level thought. It’s a call from your soul—a nudge that there’s more to you than what you’ve been told or conditioned to believe.
In Episode 24 of Spiritual Awakening with Shaz, I dive deep into the many spiritual and psychological tools available to help you reconnect with your truest self. Whether you’re at the beginning of your spiritual journey or you’re already deep in it, these systems can offer you insights, clarity, and a sense of deep inner validation.
Let’s walk through them together:
1. Astrology: More Than Just Your Sun Sign
Most people know their sun sign, but that’s only a small part of your cosmic blueprint. Your moon sign governs your emotional world. Your rising sign shapes the energy you present to the world. When you begin to explore your full natal chart—including planetary placements and house alignments—you get a clearer view of your personality, purpose, and soul path.
Your chart can reveal karmic patterns, your natural gifts, and even challenges you’re meant to transcend.
2. Numerology & Life Path Numbers
Using your birth date, numerology helps you understand your soul’s mission in this life. Your Life Path Number is like your soul’s roadmap—it tells you what you’re here to learn, express, and embody.
Books like The Life You Were Born to Live by Dan Millman or The Secret Language of Your Name by Neil Koelmeyer offer deep insights into how numbers influence personality and destiny.
3. Human Design
A blend of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system, Human Design reveals how your energy is designed to flow and interact with the world.
There are five types—Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector—and each one has its own strategy and authority. Learning your type helps you understand how to make aligned decisions, avoid burnout, and embrace your energetic strengths.
I often recommend Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be by Chetan Parkyn to begin your journey.
4. Tarot & Soul Archetypes
Did you know you have a Life Card in the Tarot based on your birthdate? This card reflects your soul’s archetype—like The Hermit, The Empress, or The Magician.
Tarot isn’t about predicting your future. It’s a mirror of your subconscious. When used intentionally, it helps you reflect, go inward, and uncover the wisdom you already hold.
5. Myers-Briggs & Jungian Typing
Though not spiritual, these tools help you understand your psychological tendencies. Whether you identify as an INFJ, ENFP, or something else, your Myers-Briggs type gives insight into how you think, feel, and relate.
Carl Jung’s work on archetypes and the subconscious has inspired many spiritual teachers. When we explore our type, we can better honour our needs and relate to others with compassion.
6. Enneagram
The Enneagram explores the motivations behind our behaviours. With nine core types, it identifies your fears, desires, and patterns.
It’s a brilliant tool for shadow work and learning how to move from unconscious reaction to conscious response.
7. Gene Keys
The Gene Keys dive into your Human Design profile and expand on the deeper layers of your soul’s coding.
It’s a contemplative, spiritual system that helps you transmute your shadows into your gifts. It’s powerful, poetic, and deeply aligned with soul evolution.
8. Your Name Holds Power
Through name numerology, we understand the vibration behind the letters that make up our name. This isn’t just mystical—it’s energetic.
The name you were given holds frequency. Sometimes, people even feel called to change their name as they step into a new identity or spiritual version of themselves.
9. Akashic Records & Past Lives
The Akashic Records are the energetic archive of your soul’s journey across all lifetimes. When accessed, they reveal patterns, karmic cycles, and lessons you’re here to complete.
Many find peace and insight through Akashic readings or past life regressions, especially when dealing with “unexplained” fears, gifts, or recurring life themes.
Why am I here – To Remember Who You Really Are.
You are not your job, your trauma or your past.
You are a multi-dimensional being with a soul blueprint unique to you.
These tools—astrology, numerology, Human Design, and more—don’t define you. They reveal you. They hold up a mirror to remind you of your potential, your purpose, and your power.
So if you’re asking “Why am I here” and “Who am I really?”—you’re not lost. You’re waking up.
And I am so glad you’re here.
