The sky has several ways of telling you who you are.
Astrology doesn't guess your future. It offers you a map to look at yourself more calmly: the sky at the moment you were born describes your character, your gifts and the cycles you will live. Each tradition draws it in its own way. Choose where to start.
What is a birth chart?
It is a snapshot of the sky at the exact minute and place you were born. It shows where the Sun, the Moon and the planets were, in which signs and which houses. Your sun sign is only one piece; the Moon speaks of your emotions, the rising sign of how you meet the world, Venus of how you love.
What is astrology for?
To know yourself and to understand your timing. It gives you words for your strengths and your contradictions, and transits help you know what stage you are going through. Used with respect, it is a tool for reflection, not a verdict.
