A birth chart is a visual representation of the position of planets in the sky at the time of your birth. Your birth chart is divided into twelve sections, which are referred to as "houses". The planets reflect types of energies and how they express themselves and the houses represent the areas of life or the circumstances in which those energies express.

Birth times are important because the planetary forces that govern Astrology are in constant motion. Depending upon the specifics of your unique situation, the difference of even an hour can affect the accuracy of your reading. Critical factors like your Moon sign and your Rising sign (the Ascendant) change location in the zodiac or rotate significantly throughout the course of the day. Astrologers use the exact placement of these items and other key indicators as a basis for the most detailed and specific interpretations.

Good sources of birth time information are your birth certificate, your mom or dad, a baby book or the hospital records where you were born (usually the most accurate source). If you can't locate the exact moment of birth, try to get as close as you can. (Lots of moms remember the approximate time their children were born, if not the exact minute.)

In a birth chart reading, you can expect to learn about the unique positioning of planets at the time of your birth, uncovering insights into your personality traits, strengths, challenges, and potential life paths. The astrologer will analyze the placement of celestial bodies in specific zodiac signs and astrological houses, shedding light on your relationships, career, and personal growth. Additionally, you may gain awareness of significant life events and opportunities, providing a comprehensive understanding of your cosmic blueprint and a roadmap for self-discovery.

A great place to start to learn about yourself through astrology is by learning about your big three -- Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.

Your Sun sign represents your core personality traits, your Moon sign reveals how you feel on the inside, and your Rising sign portrays how others see you from the outside. Once you put them all together, you have the perfect little snapshot of who you are.

Sun Sign = Core Self
Moon Sign = Inner Self
Rising Sign = Outer Self

Astrology recognizes 10 bodies as "planets": The Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and, yes, Pluto.

Each planet carries a different energy, and the locations of these planets throughout the cosmos can influence what happens in and around us here on Earth.

The "houses" of your birth chart help to pinpoint a planet and a zodiac sign's specific influence over your life. For example, you may have the planet Venus in the sign of Aries, and your best friend might have her Venus in Aries too -- but they probably fall in different houses in your individual birth charts, thereby impacting entirely different areas of your life with that Venus in Aries energy -- which makes you entirely different people.

The houses are based on your exact time of birth, and each of the 12 houses of Astrology relate to a different part of your life, from your relationships to your communication style to your connection with spirituality.

As planets move through the universe, they form angles to one another. These angles indicate the relationship between two planets and how they will work together.

Six of the most common Astrology aspects are: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, quincunxes, and oppositions. Some planetary aspects are harmonious and favorable, while others are stressful and unfavorable.

Astrologers use these aspects to predict the energy and events in everything from your daily horoscope to massive shifts in the world.
