Understanding Your Western Birth Chart
A Western birth chart, also known as a natal chart, is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment of your birth. It reveals the precise location of the planets, the signs they occupied, and the relationships (aspects) between them. This celestial map serves as a unique guide to your personality, potential, and life path.
Unlike your daily horoscope which focuses mainly on your Sun sign, a full birth chart considers the Moon (emotions), Rising sign (outer persona), and all other planets to provide a comprehensive analysis of who you are. The Whole Sign House system used here offers a traditional and clear perspective on how these planetary energies manifest in different areas of your life.

What is my 'Big Three'?+
Your 'Big Three' refers to your Sun sign (core identity), Moon sign (emotional nature), and Rising sign or Ascendant (how others see you). Together, they form the primary pillars of your personality.
Why is my birth time important?+
Your birth time determines your Rising sign and the house placement of every planet. Even a few minutes can change the entire structure of your chart, making accurate time crucial for a precise reading.
What is the Whole Sign House system?+
The Whole Sign House system is one of the oldest forms of house division. In this system, the entire zodiac sign containing your Ascendant becomes your 1st House, the next sign is your 2nd House, and so on. It's known for its clarity and was used by ancient Hellenistic astrologers.
How often does my chart change?+
Your birth chart never changes—it is a fixed map of the heavens at your birth. However, the planets continue to move (transits), interacting with your natal chart to trigger different themes and events throughout your life.
