Astrology Basics

Astrology is the study of celestial bodies' positions and movements and their influence on human affairs. Understanding your birth chart can provide insights into your personality, strengths, and challenges. This post will guide you through the basics of astrology and how to interpret your birth chart.

What is a Birth Chart?

A birth chart, or natal chart, is a map of where the planets were in their journey around the Sun at the exact moment of your birth. It includes the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, as well as the twelve astrological houses.

Interpreting Your Chart

To interpret your birth chart, start by identifying your Sun sign, which represents your core identity. Next, look at your Moon sign for emotional insights and your Rising sign for how you present yourself to the world. Each planet's position will reveal different aspects of your life.
