At the core of astrology is the enduring belief that the human spirit mirrors the universe: Both are beautifully diverse and infinitely mysterious. By turning to the stars, we get insight into who we are and an understanding of the course our lives are on.
Astrologers are skilled at helping people to map out and interpret their Birth Charts. According to these experts, taking time to study your Birth Chart can give you a deeper understanding of yourself. More specifically, your Birth Chart helps you to understand your needs and, in turn, where specific decisions are not serving you. For example, studying your Birth Chart with an astrologer can help you understand why you keep choosing the wrong romantic partners. You may also get insight into why your career growth has stagnated.
By understanding your astrological identity, you can learn to make decisions that serve you and get you back onto the cosmic journey you’re destined to walk. And being able to make good decisions for your life is the ultimate act of #selfcare.
What’s a Birth Chart?
Your Birth Chart is a snapshot of the positions of all the planets on the exact moment you were born. Each planet guides a specific aspect of your life. Moreover, the position of each planet could affect you in a different way than it would affect someone who was born a few minutes before or after you. While there are many astrology tools online, it’s wise to go to an expert for help interpreting your Birth Chart. In many instances, these online tools have proven to generate inaccurate or conflicting interpretations.
What are the elements of a Birth Chart?
Your birth chart will typically be composed of a combination of elements: your sun sign, moon sign, ascendant sign and the inner planets.
Inner planets
The inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Mars, the sun and the moon.
Mercury
Mercury shapes your mind as well as the way you communicate and interact with others. As such, Mercury offers insight into your relationship dynamics. This planet also gives you an idea of what good habits you need to capitalize on and what bad habits you need to change.
Venus
Venus influences how you express and receive love. Since it gives insight into what you look for in others and how you love yourself, Venus is a life-changing planet to learn about. It can not only transform your romantic relationships, but it can also transform your relationship with yourself.
Mars
Mars determines your actions, your drive and your energy. This planet offers more insight into what motivates you every day and what gives you a sense of ambition.
Your sun sign
This is probably the aspect of your astrological identity that you’re most familiar with. It’s the same sign you use to read your horoscope for the month. Your sun sign is the aspect of your Birth Chart that influences how you shine into the world
Your moon sign
Your moon sign determines your emotions. This sign highlights what you need to feel safe, happy and nurtured. As a result, the moon sign can highlight existing problems in your current relationships and guide you on the changes you need to make to have more fulfilling relationships.
Some experts refer to the moon sign as both our inner child and our inner mother. In other words, the moon sign puts a spotlight on the things our inner child needs and how we can best mother ourselves as we interact with the world.
Since the moon sign guides our decision-making, some people feel that it’s the best representation of their authentic self.
Your ascendant or rising sign
Your ascendant sign is determined by the constellation of planets at the exact moment of your birth. This sign is a combination of both your sun and moon sign, and it shapes the identity that you present to the world.
The outer planets
Whereas the inner planets give you an understanding of who you are, the outer planets are more forward looking and point you towards what will make your life special. These planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto.
Jupiter
Jupiter highlights your potential for growth and progress. More specifically, Jupiter shows you how to use a deeper understanding of who you are to achieve mental and spiritual growth.
Saturn
Saturn brings your fears and self-discipline into focus. This planet highlights life lessons for future growth.
Neptune
Neptune places an emphasis on your dreams and what you need for healing. It helps you to see the beauty in life and gives you inspiration to push on through hard times.
Uranus
Uranus celebrates the parts of yourself that are different from everybody else. It highlights your creative streak. By shining a spotlight on the aspects of yourself that rebel against convention, Uranus helps you to embrace your individuality.
Pluto
Pluto is an expression of your rebirth and transformation. This planet helps you to embrace the power you have to fulfill your cosmic destiny.
Your Midheaven sign
This sign corresponds to your career and life goals. It shapes your goals and ambitions and is a direct representation of who you want society to see you as.
