How a birth chart works

Read every placement in 4 layers

A birth chart is a map of the sky at the moment you were born. Each planet sits in a sign and a house, and planets form angles with each other. Read those layers in order, and a vague label becomes a specific description.

  1. 1

    The planet

    Moon

    What part of you. The Moon is your emotional needs and first reactions.

  2. 2

    The sign

    in Libra

    How it behaves. Libra settles feelings through fairness, talk and company.

  3. 3

    The house

    in the 12th house

    Where in life. The 12th house is private time, rest and what stays hidden.

  4. 4

    The aspect

    trine Saturn

    What changes it. An easy link to Saturn adds patience and self-control.

Put together

Someone with this Moon may look calm and fair to others, while doing most of their emotional work quietly and alone. Your personal reading does this for every placement in your chart, then connects them.

Your feelings and needs work in a fair, social, diplomatic way, and they show up most around solitude, rest and the hidden self.

This is the starting point. In a real chart, aspects to other planets and the rest of the chart change it. Your personal reading puts all of that together for you.

The 12 zodiac signs

All about the signs

A sign describes how a planet behaves. Your Sun sign is the one most people know, and it is set by your birthday. Your Moon and rising sign matter as much.

The planets

All about the planets

Each planet is one part of you. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars move fast, so they are the most personal. The outer planets move slowly and are shared by a whole generation.

The 12 houses

The 5 main aspects

All about aspects

An aspect is an angle between two planets. It shows which parts of you work together and which ones argue. The closer the angle is to exact, the stronger you feel it. That distance is called the orb.
