Astrology Basics
Astrology begins with a snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born. The four building blocks below are the foundation of reading any birth chart.
Planets
What is at play. Each planet represents a life function: the Sun is identity, the Moon emotion, Mercury the mind.
Signs
How it is expressed. The twelve signs give style and colour to each planet’s energy.
Houses
Where it plays out. The twelve houses show life areas: relationships, career, home, money.
Aspects
How they talk. Geometric relationships between planets describe harmony and tension.
