Start here, with your free birth chart
Fill in your details and I'll send your personal natal chart within 48 hours.
Your birth time matters, it determines your rising sign and all twelve house placements, try to be as specific to the minute as possible.
Your chart shows you:
- The position of every planet at the moment you were born including the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, plus Chiron and the lunar nodes.
- Which sign sits on each of your twelve house cusps, and what area of life each house governs.
- Your elemental breakdown - how much fire, earth, air and water is present in your chart, and where the weight falls.
- Your modal balance across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs.
- The major aspects between your planets - the conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares and sextiles that shape how your chart operates.
This guide is designed to offer the very basics of reading your birth chart. It covers the 12 houses and what each one governs, the 12 signs and how they colour every placement they touch, and every planet, from the Sun through to Chiron and the lunar nodes, so you know what you're actually looking at.
It won't make you an astrologer, but it gives you enough to find your way around your own chart, understand what the symbols mean, and start asking the right questions.
Reading your chart is a bit like reading a map of a city you've never visited. You can follow the streets and see the landmarks. But experiencing it through a local's eyes is a completely different thing, that’s what a reading offers.
