Learn Astrology Basics

An astrological birth chart is a snapshot of the sky taken at the moment you entered the universe.

Navigating the starry world of astrology becomes much simpler when you focus on four cosmic puzzle pieces: signs, planets, houses, and aspects. These are your basic celestial tools for understanding any birth chart.

The zodiac signs reveal your unique flavour and personality sparkle. Planets act as celestial messengers, each carrying different energy to your chart. Houses show where in your life story these energies love to play. And aspects? They're the cosmic conversations happening between all these elements—sometimes flowing like a melody, other times creating cosmic tension.

If you can get your head around these then you're well on your way to:

  • Reading a natal chart and identifying key personality traits
  • Understanding how planetary transits relate to key life events
  • Comparing two birth charts to see relationship dynamics
