Ready to dive in?
If you don’t have one, get a print out of your birth chart through an astrologer or astrology software such as astro.com. (You will need to input your birth date, place and time.)
Once you’re looking at your chart, you might notice that there is a large number of planets, signs, and symbols in it. It might feel overwhelming to start. Don’t worry, it will get easier. Simply start with the three (or four) elements described in the video below.
Remember, too, the complexity of your astrology chart serves to demonstrate the unique and complex weaving of who you are as an individual.
The following four astrological elements tell you a great deal about yourself, your essence, how you show up in the world, and where you are headed spiritually. Watch the video below:

Most Important Features to Start Understanding Your Astrology Chart:
- Sun: Where is the sun located in your chart – by sign and house. The sun is our hero on the journey; it is where and how we shine. By exploring this, we can learn how we feel best, shining—and how we can shine our light for other people and bring greater light into the darkness.
- Moon: Where is the moon located in your chart – by sign and house. The moon represents our mother and our relationship with our mother – and by extension, how we feel nurtured and how we like to nurture others. Important, so we can better take care of ourselves and each other.
- Ascendant: Where is the ascendant located in your chart – by sign and house. This represents how we see the world, the lenses we wear that colors the way we see life.
- Nodes of the Moon: North and south nodes – our spiritual journey. Initially the north node feels foreign. It is exciting, arduous, and the fruits are tremendous.
